TWIN BED FOR HILL.
Gossips Declare That the Politician
Is Going to Marry.

Waterbury, Oct. 3l.-A solid maho-
gany twin bed to cost $1,000 has been
ordered by David B. Hill for Wolfert's
Roost, says drummer who is at a hotel
here. He says he obtained the informa-
ton from a member of leading drapery
and house furnishing concern in New
York. In an argument the furniture man
offered as a proof of Hills matrimonial
intentions the fact he had placed an or
der for the complete refurnishing of
Wolfert's Roost at cost of $4,000 be-
fore Jan. l.
The principal feature of the order is
the twin bed. 1t is of solid mahogany,
in the "new art" and has been ordered
in Paris. The bed is mounted elaborate
ly in sterling silver and carved arts
tically, showing scenes of Greek and Ro-
man conflicts. The center of the head
is adorned with cuckoo clock, which at
midnight proclaims the opening of a
new day.

against the other prisoners
would of course be very serious.
One of the first men who saw the in
jured workmen after the fight was Will
lam Clark of Mankato, travelling agent
for the Standard Brewing company.
At that time all of the men were still
able to walk. The Tracy police were
notified. kilograms were sent in all
directions for the man, whom the
Scandinavians blamed for their injuries.
These men denied that they did any
stabbing at all. One very strange fea-
ture is that not one of the injured men,
when searched had any knife or instru-
ment CT any kind with which the stab
bling could have been done. Nor was
any such weapon found on the spot
where the fight took place.

One of Martin Wiltgen's mares, har-
messed to a buggy, was standing in front
of the home of the party who had rent
ed the rig, on North Second street yes
terday afternoon, about three o'clock,
when a small boy began playing on the
street with his football The ball hap
pened to roll back behind the mares
hoofs, and she thought she would get
into the game, onshe gave the ball a
kick that would have put shame to
the strongest piece of foot work that
O'Dea ever executed on the gridiron. The
ball flew up against the buggy top,
bounded back and struck the mare, who
set up renewed kicking, and finally
became so excited that she tore away
from the hitching post and ran. About
a block farther on, she dashed the buggy
into tree, breaking the cross bar. She
was stopped and quieted before further
damage was done.

speeding the property of others. He ad
mitted that this was the third time that

The court stated that drunkenness
does not excuse crime, and in pronounc-

Whistles and 6randies Are Adulterat-
ed--Inspectors Are at Work.
From Fridays Daily.

From Fridays Daily.
j. G. Fowler recently made still hunt
at Redwood Falls on behalf Of che state
dairy and food department to spy out
any adulterated foods that were being
sold there. Some time ago he found
some such articles palmed off on the
public in that town, and he went back
to make sure that they had been remov-
ed from the market.
Mr.. Fowler has had great deal OF
experience in the inspection Of liquors.
The greatest adulteration in the IL
quor line is in blackberry brandy. In
many cases the stuff that has been sold
for blackberry. brandy has been found
to contain not one drop of the real
thing. This adulteration is exceedingly
injurious to health and it will not
take great deal of it to wreck the
average human stomach. Whiskies too
are subjected to much adultera!ion, es-
pecially in the northern part OF the
state. Ethers and tobaccos are often
used for this purpose. In southern Min
nesota the WHISTLES sold are generally
pure.
Every retailer, who is selling spurious
whisky can be spotted with little
trouble. The department obtains a
knowledge of the business done and
then ascertains from wholesalers how
much whisky is being purchased by the
retailer. Generally, it is little or none,
the adulteration being complete in many
cases. An inspection and arrest usual
ly follows.
One class of dealers, who were in the
habit of selling adulterated goods before
the state pure food laws became so
strict, were the box car merchants.
Spurious groceries and spices were often
sold to the farmers by these irresponsi-
BILE itinerants. The favorite trick of
these vendors now is to give short
weights and measures and make their
customers believe they are getting some
thing at much lower price than that
at which the local retailer could fur
nish it.

DEC0RlA ENTHUSIASTIC.
Rousins Republican Meeting Held ir
Town Hall Last Night.
From Saturdays Daily.

The republican rally at the Decoria
town hall last evening was a rousing
success in every way, and indicates that
township is going to turn out at the
election and vote the straight ticket. The
meeting was first addressed by A. H.
Lossow, who spoke for about an hour,
taking as his main subjects the tariff
and the trusts. He explained these sub
jects very clearly.
Benjamin Taylor was the other speak
err, and also occupied about an hour.
He spoke upon the policy and actions of
the Roosevelt administration in regard
to the Panama canal, and justified what
had been done. He showed how the acts
of the administration were above criti-
cism and wholly fair and patriotic. Mr.
Taylor also spoke on the pension ques-
ton.
Both speakers touched upon state is
sues and showed what peerless leader
Dunn is, predicted a splendid admins
tration of state affairs under him as
governor. The audience took kindly to
this and cheered Dunn as loudly as it
did the other republican leaders who
were mentioned by name.

Scheme Was Understood and
1t Happily Miscarried.
Congressman Stevens Steps in,
Protects His Friend.
False Stories TeIegraphed Two
Twin City Papers.
From Thursdays Daily.

A disgraceful occurrence took place in
the lobby of the hotel where Mr.. Dunn
stopped last night. 1t appears from
the statements of outsiders that about a
dozen strangers who claimed to be trav-
cling men went on drunk and insult
ed Mr.. Dunn upon his return to the no.
tel after the meeting at the opera house.
They closed in upon him and asked him
insulting questions and passed remarks
about him. Their purpose was clearly
understood by Mr.. Dunn and his friends,
which was to get him angry and raise
a scene if possible, so that the story
might be telegraphed to such of the state
papers as are villifying him. Their pur
pose miscarried, however.
Congressman Stevens, who was in Mr..
Dunn's party, was the one who became
angry over the occurrence, and he STEP
ped to the front and told the prosecutors
of Mr.. Dunn that he was a congressman
of the United States but that he would
let that 90, and he ordered the rowdies
to step aside.
Mr.. Dunn was very gentlemanly under
great provocation, and asked the travel
ing men to state what he had ever said
or done to offend them, promising to
make full apology. They were unable
to give an instance. 1t is true that they
mentioned Window or Jackson, saying
that Mr.. Dunn had made some uncom-
plimentary remarks about travelling men,
but Mr.. Stevens again stepped forward
and said that he was there and that
nothing of the kind was said.
The travelling men continued to create
a disturbance long after Mr.. Dunn had
retired, and it is said to have been five
o'clock this morning before they sub
sided.
1t is safe to say that travelling men as
a class will resent the ungentlemanly
and cowardly conduct of the fellows
last night who claimed to represent them,
and will denounce the outrage as severe
ly as the citizens of Mankato did today
when the affair got noised abroad.
The Free Press regrets that it is I'M
able to give the names of the parties
who were connected with the affair and
the houses they travel for. Attempts to
learn them failed, as the fellows were
not prominent enough in their business
to be known to others present.
Some correspondent of the Minneapolis
Times deliberately falsified in putting
statements in Mr.. Dunn's mouth that he
never made, and representing the travel
ing men and other citizens of Mankato as
indignant over the matter. Here is a
sample of low, dirty politics that ought
to rebound upon those who indulge in it.
