Bloody Tragedy.

Bloody Tragedy.
Knoxville, Tenn, Feb. "a bloody
tragedy was enacted in the little min
ing town of Coal Creek. forty miles
west of Knoxville, as the result OF
which four lives were snuffed out and
three persons wounded. one perhaps
fatally. The clash was the culmina-
ton of the trouble between union and
nor-union labor. Three of the dead
men were killed by guards employed
by the Coal Creek company. while the
fourth victim, deputy sheriff, was
killed by a guard whom he had gone
TO arrest.

Returns to Tallahassee.

! Rev. A. l.. Woodward retiring pAs-
tor of St. James M. f. church, with
Mrs Woodward, will leave today for
| their old home in Tallahassee. Mr.
Woodward has served st. James
congregation for the better part of
two years, coming here as u supply
to fill out the uucXpired term Of Rev
Mr.. Williams, who had resigned.
At tie close of that wear, Mr.. Wood
ward, while not member of the
conference, nevertheless received
such strong endorsement from the
membership Of St James, and such
urgents appeals We're sent up for his
return, that contrary to usage he
was reappOinted. He has just closed
that year
During his pastOratr here Mr.
Woodward has greatly endeared
himself to the members of his flock
and all the people of Palatka with
out regard to dpn"minational lines.
He has been a faithful pastor and
guide, and the church has thrived
both in Il material and spiritual
sense under his wise administration.
He is an able preacher, and his pull
pit minisiratiOns have resulted in
larger and constantly growing con
gregations. His retirement from the
pastorate is deeply regretted by
leading church workers.
Mr.. Woodward is what is termed
in Methodist parlance II local
preacher. He is regularly ordained
to the highest order in the ministry
and is authorized to administer all
the sacraments and functions of the
ministry. He entered the work late
in life, or at Hn age to which he is
precluded by custom from Joining
the regular conference working force
1t is because of tins unwritten law
of the conference that he is not APP
pointed to a regular pastorate. And
it is for this reason alone that the
Methodist Episcopal church in
Florida is deprived of his wise
spiritual leadership, his true-ring
preaching and his pre-eminent quail |
fications for aggressive pastoral
work. The hope of the Christian
people of Palatka is that his future
life may be filed with all the happi-
ness that should follow career 50

AN OLD TIMER.
r. 3. Conklin An Early Resident OF
Garden City Township.
rom Fridays Daily.

R. B. Conklin, in forwarding a years
subscription to The Weekly Free Press,
from Washtuena, Adams county, Wash
ington, remarks that he is an old resi-
dent of Garden City township, where he
lived form 1856 to 1893. For that rea-
son he takes especial interest in The
Mankato Free Press, which gives the
news, not only of the city, but of the
whole surrounding country, and publishes
substantially all the events in which the
people in this part of the state take an
interest. Mr.. Conklin recently received
a copy of late issue of the paper
containing an item about some pupils of
forty-six years ago. He was himself
one of Mr.. Charles Barney's pupils, and
took keen interest in the article. He
says in the letter: ~ know what the

| Few local residents have an adequate
conception of the splendid poultry farm
that R. F. Neubert is maintaining out on
the Mapleton road, about half mile
southeast of the city. Here he has
tract of ten acres, where he keeps about
thousand head of fowl, all of the finest
and most unitarian breeds, nearly for.
ty varieties in all. There are hundred
and fifty geese, Embden and African;
about as many ducks, mostly of the I'm
perial Pekin breed; seventy-five turkeys,
Mammoth Bronze and White Holland;
while the Light Brahams, Buff and Par
fridge Cochins, Black Langshans, Bar
red, White and Buff Plymouth Rocks,
Silver Laced, Golden and White Wyan-
dottes, Cornish Indian Games, Black
Javas, Single Comb Brown, White and
Buff and Rose Comb Brown and White
Leghorns, Houdans, Black and White
and Rose Comb Black Minorcas, White
Faced Black Spanish, Silver Gray Dor
kings, Silver Spangled Hamburgs, and
English Red Caps, number in all about
six hundred and twenty-five chickens.
All of the above, varieties of fowls are
fully and most interestingly described,
with cut for nearly every one, in Mr..
Neubert's eleventh annual catalogue,
which has just been printed in The Free
Press job rooms, and fifteen thousand
copies of which are to be sent out not
only through the northwest, but over the
United States, and into Canada, Mexico
and even into Europe.
Indeed there is large and growing de-
mand for Mr.. Neubert's fowls and eggs.
The recognition he is receiving as an
honest, reliable producer and furnisher of
the right goods, just as they are repre-
sented to be, is spreading farther and
farther. Indeed it is not every poultry
dealer that can be relied upon to send
just what he says he will and to furnish
just what is paid for. In the poultry
business there are endless means of
swindling, and false goods may be sent
and sold for the price of the true article
for quite while before the dishonorable
conduct of the miscreant is detected Mr..
Neubert has invariably aimed to build
up name for doing business on the
square and the results are proving to
be just as he hoped they would. His
main trade is still in this and adjacent
states, yet he receives orders from New
York to California, from other countries
of North America and far across the
Atlantic. .s',s~
Mr.. Neubert has just entered into
new line of trade, having designed an in
cubator, which he has named the
Triumph. He will soon receive car
load of the machines from the factory
where they are being produced and will
have them stored in the Great Western
freight office, subject to order. Mr..
Neubert has had more or less trouble
with other incubators that are on the
market, never being quite satisfied with
the work they did. Some people think
that an incubator chicken cannot be as
strong and vigorous as one that is hatch
cd by a hen. Mr.. Neubert maintains
that the contrary is true, if the incu-
bator is good one. The properly
Matched machine chicken is free from lice

tain Present Labor Commissioners.
From Saturdays Daily.
State Labor Commissioner John
.O'Donnell was last night endorsed for
disappointment by the Mankato Trades
and Labor council. 1t was done without
opposition In so doing, it was remark
ed that the Mankato council was simply
following in the footsteps of the Trades
and Labor assemblies of st. Paul and
Minneapolis.
William McEwen, who recently lectur-
ed in Mankato, stated to one of the
prominent union men here, that the
Trades and Labor assembly at Duluth
was likely to endorse Mr.. O'Donnell.
There are plenty of other candidates
for the same position.
John Durker of Minneapolis is promi-
nently mentioned. Phil Carlin, business
agent of the Carpenters union at Min
neapolis, has had the endorsement of
that union for the position. H. F. John
son has been put forward for the posi-
ton by the Bricklayers' union at Mime
apolis. Michael Neary of Minneapolis is
another candidate.
Another item of business transacted at
last nights meeting of the Trades and
Labor council was the decision to give
New Years Eve ball. The matter was
placed in the hands of committee.
A movement is on foot to organize
the malt workers and brewers of the city
1t is thought that an organizer from
one of the Twin Cities soon will be at
work here.
Next Monday night the Cigarmakers
union will hold meeting in Williams
hall and will elect officers.

SPLENDID POULTRY FARM
OPERATED BY r. F. NEUBERT.

and vermin and will quickly develop in
to wellmatured and sturdy fowl
Mr.. Neubert does not do all of his
chicken raising on the farm by any
means. Every spring he sends out eggs
to certain farmers, who hatch and raise
them for a consideration, usually for
half the resulting chickens. Some of
these chicks are Matched with incubators
and some by hens. Each year he sells
about two thousand head of his fancy
bred poultry. His sales of fowls and
eggs reach up to $4,000 per year, and
he spends 81 500 annually in advertising.
Mr.. Neubert attributes his success
to the fact that he was obliged to be-
bin business without a penny. Having
no money, he could not lose any. He ac-
quired his knowledge gradually and his
early experience was on small scale. He
started in the business eleven years
ago on the farm of his father, Fred
Neubert, four miles from Mankato on
the ST. Clair road When he was eight
cen years old he happened to come across
a book treating on all branches of poul-
try culture and then he caught the
Chicken fever" He made up his mind
to get some thoroughbred fowls, but
how, was a hard question for him to
solve, as he had no money. His father
then made him an offer to have one
third of the income for taking care of his
flock of common hens. This boy then
read everything that he could get hold
of pertaining to making money out of
poultry. He subscribed for several poul-
try papers, bought number of good
poultry books and sat up late at night
to study them. His labors were not
in vain as he made enough money the
first few months to purchase some eggs
and fowls of the thoroughbred kind. He
now had start and things went along
fairly well the first few years. He kept
adding more varieties every year and
advertising quite extensively in the farm
and poultry papers. Orders for eggs
for Matching and breeding came in, in
such large numbers that he had to en-
large every year. He found it necessary
to buy a place for himself near town,
where he could branch out as the demand
justified. Six years ago he bought the
strip of land which is now the poultry
farm. Here there are eight large build
ings, besides a number of small sheds.
1t is indeed pleasure to go into the
large round building, where about half
the fowls are kept. The bodily heat of
all these chickens keeps the place fairy
warm, even on cold day. Tougher than
these, when it comes to standing cold
weather are the ducks and the geees,
which are all right out of doors whep
there is not so much snow that they
cannot keep their feet warm. 1t won't
do for a duck or goose to get its feet
frosted. The ducks and geese can stand
exceedingly cold weather if they have
plenty to eat. 1t is better economy to
keep them housed, as they will not then
consume more tahan half the quantity of
corn. The turkeys are wonderful to
stand the cold weather. They cannot
remain healthy unless they sleep out of
doors. In the coolest winter weather
the gobblers are roosting at night on the
tops of fences, happy in the warmth of
their own blood and plumage
