CARRIES HER COFFIN
NORTH DAKOTA WOMAN COMES
TO MINNESOTA AND BRINGS
COFFIN WITH HER.

No Ole can deny that Miss Mary
Caddigan, who until short time ago
lived in North Dakota near Minot and
passed through Bemidji last night on
her way to Northome, near which
village she is to make her home on a
homestead has faith in the northern
Minnesota county. Miss Cardigan,
says the. Bemidji Pioneer last week,
brought her coffin with her, had it
checked as baggage and manifested
quite as much solicitation over the
way in which it was handled by the
drayman who transferred her baggage
as if it had been a Turkish portman-
teau, lined with silk and packed witq
$40 bills.
Miss Cardigan talked but little #
herself, but in her conversation with
the drayman stated that she was on
her way to Northome t. settle on a
homestead and that she had just
:'cleaned OUT her land interests in
North Dakota and determined to come
to this section to live. II have a
trunk and coffin that want taken
to the other depot, she said. ANY
thing in the coffin MADAME asked
the dravman. ''Nothing, it's mine, y
was the reply. II don't want to be
buried in no jack pine coffin and
brought mine with me.
The coffin was Enclosed in an ordin
airy rough box and somewhat weather
beaten, and securely hidden from the
Decorating and INCLUSIVE gaze, and
was addressed in hard, round fist to
Miss Mary Cardigan, Norshome. It
was checked into this city as baggage
over the Great Northern and went out
! the same way.

Not a Statesman, a Politician.


Senator Matthew Stanley Quay, who
died in Beaver, Pa, ON Saturday, was an
apt pupil of that astute gentleman, Sen
ator Simeon Cameron, who, for years,
was the real political boss of Pennsyl-
vania. Quay was successful politi-
clan. He fought many hard political
battle, and never was defeated, although
the enemy ran him into the corner FREE
quently. He was as courageous as he was
shrewd, and he was of that class of men
in public life who commanded the ad-
miration of large following of strong
supporters, and was as bitterly hated by
those who opposed him in his manipu-
lation of politics. He was sagacious
gentleman, and knew the ms and outs
of politics. He was successful as an or
ganizer, and he possessed remarkable
skill in the handling of his forces. While
his methods at times were open to criti-
cism, yet one could not help by admire
his daring.
Mr.. Quay was long in public life. He
was first elected to the United States
senate in 1887 and remained in that body
until his death. Prior to his entrance
into the senate he held many public Of
fees, his career as politician dating
back to 1855. Historians will not accord
him place among statesmen, but as a
political general he will always be refer
red to as one of the most notable this
country ever had.

North and South Trolley.

The Hutchinson Independent Times of
this week contains lengthy article on
the railroad situation, more particular
ly the 'tnorth and south" road which
does not materialize with that rapidity
people could wish for Also the electric
railway schemes of the past are touched
upon, and suggestions are made to the
people of Mankato- especially those
gentlemen who have in hand the propos-
ed construction of trolley lines. The
independently Times sees in the section ly-
ing between Mankato and Hutchinson
an excellent field for an electric road, and
advises that eff the Mankato people will
turn their faces this way with an cleo
trio line there is no doubt that they
could interest the people along the line
as well as here in Hutchinson. There
would be many more chances of some
thing resulting from a local effort than
there is from foreign body. If Manka-
to and the towns along the line to st.
Cloud would get together and organize
to build an electric line, there would be
no doubt that they could get the capital
to do it with. and before snow flies again
there could be something doing along the
line"

CAR WANTS VICTORY
DESIRES KUROPkTKIN TO GET
BUSY AND DEFEAT FORCES
OF THE MIkADO.

London, June 2.-No confirmation
has yet been received of the reported
heavy fighting near Port Arthur or
with Kuropatkin's army, although the
latter is not regarded as improbable.
Rumors persist that court influence
at st. Petersburg is being actively
exercised to induce General Kuropat-
kin to assume the offensive il an en-
deavor by victory to retrieve the Rus
sian military reputation.
The Daily Telegraph's st. Peters
burg correspondent says:
"a recent council of war decided
that Kuropatkin should risk an en-
gagement The emperor ratified this
judgment, even going so far as to au-
thorize the dispatch of troops from the
German frontier to the far East on the
ground that as Germany was benevo-
lent she might be trusted safely. All
hopes are. conferred now in Kuropatkin,
who will make desperate efforts to
save Port Arthur
Against these statements NUT be
placed the official contradiction COM
municated to the Associated Press and
already cabled that General Kuropat-
kin would move southwark.
The correspondent of the Standard
at Toxic announces that non-combat-
ants are quitting Gensan owing to, in
eursions of small parties Of Russians
into Northwestern Korea. The situa-
tion there is not deemed serious; one.

Dry VS.. Wet Sweenines.

DIR. j. Frank Corbett, city bacteriolo-
gist of Minneapolis, has just completed a
test of dry and wet sweepings from the
Minneapolis school buildings, and much
to the surprise of those interested in the
investigation, the report is in effect that
dry sweepings show less bacteria, and
this is directly opposite to pres
emit theories on the subject 1t seems
that the. Moman's- Improvement league
of Minneapolis is, responsible for the
tests. The league complained to the
board of education that the school build
ings~Swqe not properly swept;l dry
brushes were used, etc. The organiza-
ton requested the janitors to at least
sprinkle the floor with damp sawdust.
1T was asserted that the present methods
were unsanitary and were undoubtedly
responsible for much illness among the
children. In order to satisfy themselves
and the league in the matter the mem
hers of the board decided to, appeal to
the city bacteriologist. He was asked
to discover whether more microbes were
Scared up" by dry sweeping than by
The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1904-06-03

wet. So for two weeks DR.. Corbett made
daily tests at one Of the school buildings.
One week the institution was swept dry
and the other with wet sawdust. The
bacteriologist took his dozen bacteria
covered plates to the city laboratory
and has been working on them ever
since. After carefully nurturing the deli
cate bacilli they soon began to multiply
rapidly and he now keeps them shut up
in cage.
Itappears that the janitors were sweep
ing according to sanitary methods, al
though these functionaries may not
have been aware of that fact. The re-
suit of the tests teaches us that it is
more beneficial to health to sweep dry,
when we do sweep.
