PLEASED WITH THE EXHIBIT.
st. Louis Paper Speaks Highly o.
Minnesota School Display.
From Tuesdays Daily.

from tuesdays daily.
The Minnesota educational exhibit at
the ST. Louis fair is attracting consider
able attention and much favorable com
ment. The st. Louis Republic of last
Sunday contains an article commenting
on the educational exhibit at the fair
and in this the Minnesota exhibit is Civ
en- more space than any other state ex-
cept Missouri.
The Republic says of the Minnesota
exhibit:
Leaving the St. Louis and Missouri
showing, and stepping over to Minneso-
to's section, the first object which at
tracts the eye is an oaken chest, so elab-
orately and cleverly carved and dec
grated that it would seem of sixteenth
century English pattern. In its general
form, it has strength and dignity. Upon
the top-surface is executed an intricate
scroll involving the difficult lines of
leaves, coats of arms and the feur-de Ellis.
Soft red, gold, brown and green tones are
introduced into the coloring.
"The chest is only one illustration of
the numerous articles which are shown
as Indicative of work done in st. Paul
schools. The visitor sees much else that
appertains to the school life, and the
rest of the display ranges from, the pic
ture which shows the one-room rural
school hidden in wood at some lonely
crossroads to the book which is the COM
pendulum of the labored OATS and
DOGS penned by the irst-grade writ
ing class. But art-mechanics is the sal
lent feature"

LATEST AUTO-BOAT.

engineer, when he first saw the man,
did not think the man was going to stay
on the track; the man had time to get
off ON the track dozen times between
the time of the first warning whistle
and the time he was struck; the train,
which had four cars, ran about two
lengths after striking the man; the man
was picked up about ten feet from the
track; he had been instantly killed and
frightfully mutilated; the man was
about loco feet from the train when the
brake was applied; even then the en-
gineer had an idea that the man would
get off the track; the victim must have
been in very deep thought or else was
very deaf; the train was moving at
about 25 miles per hour when the man
was struck; the speed had been slowed
down about half; the fireman had been
continually ringing the bell from the
time the air brake was thrown on; the
Gay was Clear anu Ite WHISTLE SHOuld
have sounded loud; had the man looked
around he ought to have been able to see
the approach of train a mile off; and
should have known what track it was on.
B. F. Pagenhart testified that he was
fireman on North Western train No. SOB
with Engineer Scott; he was putting
coal in the fire when Scott first blew the
crossing signal; the fireman got up and
saw man ahead on the track at dis
lance he judged to be 40 to 60 rods;
Scott had just set the emergency brakes
as the fireman was getting up into his
seat; the latter began ringing the bell
and continued to ring it until the man
on the track was struck; it appeared
as if the man didn't hear any of the
signals; at any rate he paid no attention
to them; the Omaha train didn't pass
the North Western until the latter had
stopped; the train makes an unusual
noise over the bridge and rocks.
Among those who attended the in
quest was Claim Agent c. L. Young of
Chicago, representing the Chicago &
North Western Railway company.

we'll together, for some distance after
leaving the city. Yesterday the two
passenger trains were not running
quite so fast as usual 1t may be that the
man was walking on the Omaha track
when he heard them coming, and stepped
down from the Omaha to, the North
Western, thinking that he was thus
stepping to a place of. safety. 1t may
be that he heard the Northwestern
whistle and ring behind him and yet
continued on the track with the idea that
what he heard was the Omaha train on
the other track. Just how the unfortu
nate occurrence took place may be theor-
lied in various ways, but this explana-
ton seems to accord with the facts, as
far as they are known at present.
Coroner Kennedy this morning received
a second telegram in reply to the de-
scription that he wired concerning the
dead man to Mrs. Kate Ingersol. Mrs.
Ingersol replied: Hold body. Will be there
this evening" This means that the body
is without doubt that of Gaffney, to
whom she had reference in her first tele-
gram. Two hours later, at 1925 came a
telegram from one E. D. Beeman at
Sheldon, Iowa, saying: "Will leave on
first train in answer to lngersol tele-
gram"
Evidently relatives or friends will be
here this evening to take charge of the
body.
Thorwald C. Nicholson, teller at the
Mankato State bank, happened to be on
the Omaha train at the time the acct
dent occurred. The Omaha train was
lust little behind the Northwestern
at the time. He could see the man
walking on the track until the North
Western train had approached to with
in about fifteen feet of him. Then the
Northwestern engine itself obscured the
victim from Mr.. Mickelson's view. The
Omaha train did not stop.
c. w. Jessup, who is pretty well ac-
quainted through that part of Iowa from
which the deceased seems to have come,
has an idea that he knows the man. Mr..
Jessup thinks he recognizes the name,
but he has not yet gone to view the
remains.

FELL BEFORE MANkATo.
! St. Peter High School Base BaIlists
Defeated on Saturday. 81
From Monde va DaSlv

Mankato high school baseball players
defeated those of the st. Peter high
school on the fair ground at that city
last Saturday afternoon, the score at the
close of the last inning standing IA to 8
in favor of Mankato. The Mankato line
up was as follows: Morse Gates, p;
Albert Krost (captain) c.; Harry Ter
williger, h.; Ed Mountain, 3D.; Ed
Coughlan 3d.; Will Hughes, rf.; Albert
Moore, cf.; Ivan Bowen, If; Ben How
ard, S.; Prof. F. E. Crandall, manager
of baseball at the high school, accom-
panied the boys. The batting of Krost
| and Gates for the Mankato team was
the main feature of the game. The
Mankato boys were much pleased by the
courteous treatment they received.
Preparations for the Southern Mime
sofa Interscholastic athletic meet, to be
held at Sibley Park, Saturday after
noon, May 81, are well under way. The
program of the events and entries are
nearly ready for the press. Business
men of Mankato have been very liberal
in advertising in the programs, and
seem to have the success of the meet at
heart as fully as the high school boys
themselves. Three more high schools
have announced that they will send
teams to the meet-the high schools of
Renville, Fulda and Blue Earth. This
makes fourteen high schools that will be
represented in all, being besides the
aforesaid, those of Mankato, st. Peter,
New Ulm, Faribault, Sleepy Eye, Mar
shall, Springfield, st. James, Winnebago
City and Fairmont.
A special Northwestern train will
convey the teams and visitors from Red
wood Falls, Marshall, Sleepy Eye, Spring
field and New Ulm to Mankato and
back, if the present plans are carried
out.
Prof. Lee Galloway of the North Side
high school of Minneapolis will be ref
cree and starter at the meet.

From MONDAYS Daily.

George E. Blake, superintendent OF

M. Windmiller has kindly donated to the
city twenty ever blooming tree roses,
which the former has set out at the

by Mr.. Blake on behalf of the city. The
trees donated are well worth $50, and
would cost this amount if bought. Mr..
Windmiller has small farm near the
North Western junction north of the
city, and is the father of the Windmiller

The Pittman Jacket Still.

! Experiments and tests of the Pitt
man patent jacket still for extract
ing turpentine, rosin and other prod
ucts from pine wood have been
made at Valdosta, Ga, during the
past week and have proved very sat
isfactory to all parties interested.
Mr.. F. II. Hafer of this city, who
is interested in the company, was
present at the experiments, and has
brought samples of the turpentine
and rOsin home. He says the eXpe-
riments met the highest eXpecta-
tions of the company and that sever
al big distilling plants will be erected
The first run of the still was made
on three-quarters of Il cord of dead
pine wood, and produced eighteen
gallons of turpentine and twenty
seven gallans of rOsin. The spirits
was tested by experts, and pro-
nounced equal to that made in the
old way. This is the only distilla-
ton from wood that has produced
good quality of rosin. The Pittman
patent is a jacket still, using either
ordinary or super-heated steam, and
gives different pressures and degrees
of heat as may be required to pro-
duce certain results.
Representative of naval stores in
terests have been watching the re-
suits with much interest, and one
from possibly the largest company
in the world stated, after testing the
as it came direct from the
still, that he would give the market
for all like it that could
be produced.
Mr.. Pittman can use the super
heated steam and obtain any re-
uuired temperature, but as the tur-
pentine and rosin are already equal
to that secured by the old method,
he will not use the destructive pro-
cess required to bring out the creo-
sote, tar and other products, claim
ing it will materially reduce the |
value of the higher priced turpentine
md rosin.

c7lGGs TAKEN IN TOW
BY POLICE.
Twelve Year-OId Lads Confess to
Stealing Many Woae'5-S@ripod
One That Proved urSc.n1.

Doing stunts in bicycle stealing mat
would do credit to much older heads,
John Duncan and Harry Griggs, IL
vear-oId lads are locked up in the city
iaiI and a half dozen wheels that they
have confessed to stealing are lying in
show up and claim them. The undoing
of the youths came last night when
Young Duncan swiped the bicycle of
William DuckWorth, foreman of the
Statesman composing rooms, from a
rack in front of the Harras meat mar
ket in Alder street.
Mr. Duckworth had occasion to at
tend a meeting of the Trades Council
last night and left his wheel in
nearby rack. Upon his return soon
after 10 o'clock it was missing and
he set out on a still hunt for the thief.
Every Wheelman coming along the
street was held up and as luck would
have it he encountered Young Duncan
with the vince. The lad gave so many
excuses for having the bicycle in his
possession that Mr.. DuckWorth be
came suspicious and turned him over
to the police. He was taken to the
city jail and after close questioning
finally broke down and confessed to
the theft of a half dozen bicycles the
past month and implicated Harry
GriSgs, living in Chestnut street.
Young Griggs was routed out and af-
ter admitting that he had had a hand
in the affair, was also locked up.
With the aid of the two boys the po-
lice Immediately set to work digging
up the bicycles that the boys had
stolen and by morning they had a col
lection of a half dozen at the city jail
wheel the boys displayed cunning by
changing the parts and in some in
stances had painted the frames over
with bright colored paint. Mr. Duck
Worth's bicycle is sporting a different
set of wheels and others have had the
handle bars and seats changed, making
it hard to identify them In nearly
every instance the name plate on the
wheels was torn off.
In addition to stealing wheels Young
Duncan this morning admitted that he
had stolen quantity of brass from
the gas company's building in Rose
street and can of paint from
SWeeney's paint shop. He was afraid
to sell the brass on account of the
pieces being number and had thrown
1t away. The boys will probably be
charged with incorrigibiity and sent
to the reform school if they are not
put on the chain gang
