What is in all probably either the
record for minimum sales of spot cot
ton, or very near the record, was the
result of yesterdays trading. Eight
bales were reported at the opening
and no more during the day, at least
no more were reported so that eight
constituted the total sales. The rea-
son for such small sales is to be found
in the fact that with a falling futures
market and an unchanged spot market
the buyers and factors could not get
together. The local spot market open
ed steady and unchanged from the
closing of the previous day and main
tanned both tone and price to the
close. 1t was reported that even at
these prices, the best since the full
effect of the slump following the gov
eminent report took place, factors were
refusing offers to buy.

TAKEN TO ST. PETER.
Guard Arrives for Young Man Who
Made His Escape.
From Friday's Daily,


A guard from the st. Peter asylum
arrived in the city yesterday afternoon
and returned in the evening with the in
sane man who escaped from there the
night before. The young man would not
be taken anywhere for an insane man,
as he seemed rational on all points and
was well and neatly dressed. He said
that he was as sane as most people
whom he met ON the street.
The young man, who gave the assumed
name of j. G. Barnes, and whose home
is in Minneapolis, told how he had made
his escape. He slipped away from the
guards in the daytime and made a
wide circuit of the asylum farm and
struck off on foot for this city, avoiding
the roads as much as possible and TAX
ing to the woods whenever he saw any
one coming. He was not used to walk
ing and when he reached Mankato he
was we'll exhausted, and went to the
Saulpaugh and got supper and room
and went to bed, after writing to his
father for money and his trunk, saying
that he wanted to go to Chicago or St.
St. Louis. He did not deny that he was
from the asylum. The hotel employees
never dreamed that he was an inmate.
He made no objection to being taken
back, but congratulated. himself that he
had had three good meals.

DO NOT DISTURB IT.
Judge Severance Has Word to Say
Anent the Supreme Bench.
From Fridays Daily

From fridays Dally.
To the Editor of The Free Press: 1t
is very unfortunate that the judiciary OF
this state should be dragged in the wake
of politics, but it will be likely to be so
as long as the office of judge is elective.
Each party is prone to believe that no
man outside of its fold is fit for any
office. There was a time in this state
when such narrow sentiment of party
bigotry did not prevail, but when in 1898
the Democrats and Populists fused, they
swept away the last hope of a non-par-
tisan judiciary. This fusion threw down
the gauntlet and the Republicans accept
ed the challenge, and now loyalty to the
dominant party is a prerequisite to judic-
ial advancement. 1 see no hope for any
change in the exclusive demands of either
party, but no matter what party is In
power, it should have enough regard for
the public good, to rescue the supreme
court from the dice box OF political Jug
glery. The Judges of the supreme court
should not be used to establish section
al equilibrium, or to crafty local pride.
But they should in every instance rest
on merit alone.
When the supreme court as to its per-
sonnet is able and conscientious in the
discharge of its duty why not let it
alone? The supreme court should be
stable and not drifting at the caprices of
every person who has friend that he
would like to exalt.
1t seems that there are now two or
three Judges on the bench of the district
court who have come to the conclusion
that they know too much for the posi-
tions they hold, whilst the bar and
the people entertain very different
opinion. If these judges feel Inundated
when they compare these extraordinary
powers with the insignifcance of the po-
sitions they hold, let them resign and
not waste their sweetness on the desert
air. Our supreme court as now con-
stituted is an able court, and the contin-
ual chirping of few half fedged law
yers in the state should not be allowed
to disrupt it. Long service on the SUI
preme bench with a constant interchange
of thought and opinions between the
judges, for many years, naturally leads
to that judicial development that alone
insures the accuracy of legal conclusions.
The supreme court is not the place to
crown egotism or pay political debts.
1 am in favor of letting the supreme
court alone for the present.

STAPLES WIFE DISAPPEARS
MYSTERIOUS Affair Near Redwood Fall.
..Woman May Be Insane.

From Fridays daily.
Mrs. Staples, wife of Arthur Staples
farmer living eight miles directly
south of Redwood Falls disappeared very
mysteriously last Saturday afternoon
She was last seen, as far as has been as
certainer, about four o'clock. Since then
there have been no clues as to her where.
abouts.
Mr.. Staples was in Morgan Tuesday
making inquiries, but did not receive
any, clues at this point.
He says his wife left his place with
team of bay bronchoes to take the
school teacher, Miss Ellen Wederath
who teaches in the district in which the
Staples live, to her home in Sherman
township, on Friday afternoon. Besides
Miss Wederath she took her six weeks
old baby boy. Mrs. Staples stayed at
the Wederath home that night and the
next day, Saturday, went to Redwood
Falls, where she put the team in one
of the livery barns to feed. In the after
noon, about four o'clock she called for
her team, saying that she was going
home. Since then there have been no
clues. Mr.. Staples did not think much
about the matter that day, but when his
wife did not return on Sunday his sus-
picions were aroused. Monday came and
his wife did not return.
That morning the teacher returned
and was surprised to learn that Mrs
Staples had not been seen at the home
since the Friday previous.
Mrs. Staples then began to make some
inquiries and learned that his wife had
been at Redwood Falls as stated above
There seems to be only one reason why
Mrs. Staples should disappear and that
is that she is insane. Her husband claims
that their family relations are pleas

$500 each at wholesale rates. Guess
we'll keep out of that war business.
The time of year has come when every
good citizen should take an interest in
the sanitary condition of the city.
Rubbish should be burned, ash heaps
hauled away, and old lumber and UNI
slightly trash piles cleaned up. If every
citizen of our proud city would devote
a few hours of spare time to cleaning
up yards, alleys and streets of things
that are scattered about promiscously
it would make wonderful change in the
appearance of our homes. Pride is the
building of our characters, and the
chief incentive of our younger genera
ton. Let every citizen be help to
make this a pretty, if not the prettiest
and most attractive city on the globe.
Barnum & Bailey's circus recently
made some interesting tests at Madison
Square Garden, in New York, of the
pulling strength of men and animals.
The best record was made by team of
1000 pound horses, which made dead
pull of $3.50 pounds, or about IL pounds
to each pound of their weight. Fifty
men pulled $3.50 pounds, or nearly the
same in proportion to weight. Two cam
els pulled $3.50 pounds, and one $4,000
pound elephant pulled $3.50 pounds. The
elephant, in spite of his big total pull,
made the poorest record, in proportion
to his weight. "Babe," one of the circus
elephants who is constantly used to help
in loading and unloading cars, ETC., is so
strong that he can easily push three
loaded freight cars.

ARRESTED IN NEW YORK.
Woman Who Is Said to Have Shop
Lifted in Mankato.
From Saturdays Daily.


A dispatch from New York says that
Monday last central office detectives ar.
rested two women, said to be well known
shoplifters, as they were about to leave
a department store.
The women gave the names of May
Morris of that city, said by the police
to have several aliases and her picture
in the rogues' gallery, and Annie Glea
son, also of that city.
1t is said the retail dry goods asso
Citations of both Chicago and New York
have been looking for the women fol
some time. They were seen in a Broad
way store and at the request of the
manager were arrested.
Later dress suit case and parce
were recovered from a cab, said to have
been hired by the women, and article:
worth several hundred dollars were
found. These were identified by store
manager as having been taken from hi:
place of business.
The Gleason woman is known to thu
Minneapolis police as one of the clev
crest shoplifters who has ever visited
the city. Less than a year ago she wa
arrested on the charge of stealing shoe
there.
She was bound over to the CRANE
jury, but defaulted her bond.
The Gleason woman is said to hav
been in Mankato within a year pas
and lifted goods at several places, in
Guiding millinery store. She was appre
hended and settled, thus avoiding expos
ure at that time.
