RECIPROCITY WITH CANADA.
II Is Favored by Members Of the Sosiai
Science Club.
From Wednesdays Daily.

The Social Science club held its regu-
lar meeting last night. F.. NJ. Currier
read paper on Reciprocity with Can
ada" that was full of interest. He
took decided grounds in favor of freer
intercourse between the United States
and Canada. He endeavored to show that
there would be no danger of this country
being flooded with Canada's farm pro-
ducts. We export more food stuffs to
Canada for local consumption than we
take from that country. In 1902 we
sent 100000 bushels of corn to Can
ada
Mr.. Currier said that the policy that
this country is adopting of keeping the
tariff on the same goods one hundred per
cent higher than that of Canada is
causing the latter country to think SER
iously of raising its tariff. Americans
are going into Canada and building fac
tories there. Mr. Currier thought that
the best business policy to pursue
would be to have the most harmonious
and intimate trade relations between the
two countries, with mutual interchange
that would benefit both. There was ev-
erything to be gained and nothing to
lose by getting the Canada markets.
The discussion was led by w. w.
Smith, who conceded with the general
idea advanced by Mr.. Currier
John A. White said that the Inter
national Harvester company has just
built a factory at Hamilton, Ont, at a
cost of $l,500OOO, for the manufac-
ture of harvesters and other farm ma
chinery. 1t had done this in order to
avoid paying the tariff imposed on i'm
ports by Canada. He said that thresh
ing machine and other companies are
doing the same thing.
Father Hughes, w. d. Willard, DR..
Curran, DR.. Andrews, C. n, Andrews and
others spoke, all of them favoring reel
procity.
The next meeting of the club will be
held Oct. 18th, when Mark Foote will
read paper on Influence of the Drama
and Need of National Theatre" DIR.
George w. Davis will lead the discussion

FOSTERS PREDICTIONS.
They Set Forth the Weather That Is
Likely to Be.

Washington, d. c., Oct. 8.-The last
bulletin gave forecasts of disturbance
to cross continent Oct. to Ii, warm
wave Oct. to IL, cool wave Oct. IL to
Is. The next disturbance will reach the
Pacific coast about Oct. IL, cross west
of the Rockies by close of Oct. Ia, great
central valleys Oct. Is to II, eastern
states Oct Is. A warm wave will cross
west of the Rockies about Oct. l3, the
great central valleys Oct. Is, eastern
west of the Rockies about Oct. l6, the
great central valleys Oct. Is, EASTERN
states Oct. 20.
This disturbance comes in a period of
moderate weather, temperature of which
will average below normal for about the
five days covered by the disturbance
and which will include two cool waves,
the first going to lower temperatures
than the last.
Most of the period covered by time of
this disturbance will give moderate I'M
important weather but about Oct. Is,
great change will come over the spirit
of all weather events. At that date we
will be nearing one of the great storm
periods of the year and every kind of
weather feature will suddenly increase in
intensity.
At that time low or storm center
will probably cover the northeastern
states and it's wind force, cloudness,
rainfall and, to the eastward, its tenn
peratures will increase or become more
intense. At the same time expect
high to cover the great central valleys
and that it's winds, low temperatures,
frosts and clear skies will increase in in
tensity. Then to westward, in western
Canada and northwestern United States,
may be expected another storm center
with increasing intensties as described
of the northeastern states. These wealth
er events are expected to cover the
whole continent to the Gulf of Mexico
and into Mexico.
The increased intensity described
above belongs to the next disturbance
which will be of unusual Importance,
will include severe storms followed by a
severe cold wave, all of which will be
described in the next bulletin
Chief Moore, of the United States
weather bureau, in public lecture at
Peoria, ILL.,, threatened to move weather

SUIT OVER LAND.
Lake Crystal Man Sues a Vernon
Center Resident.
From Wednesdays Daily.


Edward p Rorman of Lake Crystal
has started an action in the district
court against w. R. Barnes of Vernon
Center to recover about $4,000 or ST.
700, which he claims is the amount of
damage sustained by him in land deal
with the defendant He alleges that
about Oct. 25th, 1902, he owned some
land in Otter Tail county and traded it
and stallion to Mr. Barnes for piece
of land in Blue Earth county. The Of
ter Tail land was valued at 81 800, the
stallion at $500, and the Blue Earth
land at $4,000, in making the deal, he
says. He says that Mr.. Barnes claim
ed that the title was perfect OF if it
was not he would make it so by an ac-
ton which he would bring in the pro-
bate court. Rorman says that he found
that Barnes had tax title to the land
OF possibly none at all.
w. +. Young and ID. A. Reed, the
latter of Lake Crystal, are the attor
neys for the plaintiff.

Reformatory Inmate Out on Pa
role Sent Back There.
MapIeton Young Lady Detained
Until Parents Arrive.
Couple Came to Mankato Sat-
urday from MapIeton.
From Mondays Daily.


Sheriff Williams was called upon Sat
udray evening to interfere in a little
affair of love and thwart the seeming
purpose of the young couple to elope.
The parties were Andrew Leighton, a
young man who is out on parole from
the state reformatory, and Miss Lulu
Dumbeck, daughter of Mapleton farm
er. Leighton was taken with a fit some
weeks ago while working on the Min
neopa dairy farm, and another place was
subsequently found for him, near Ma
pleton. 1t appears that an affection
grew up between him and Miss Dunn
beck, but the latter's parents objected
strenuously to the proposed match, and
it is said that there was a warm time
at the Dumbeck home Saturday after
noon between Leighton and the young
lady on one side and Mr. and Mrs. Dunn
beck on the other side. The outcome was
that the young couple took the evening
tidll 1Ol anu TIC Silti III Ntto
asked to head them off.
Sheriff Williams was at the Milwau-
kee depot when the train came in at sew
en- o'clock Saturday evening, and among
the passengers who alighted were Leigh
ton and Miss Dumbeck. Sheriff Will
Jams took Leighton to the county Jail
and locked him up and took the young
woman to the Clifton House. He found
that they had their clothing packed to-
gether in a satchel, which looked good
deal like an elopement.
Sheriff Williams called up State Agent
Barncard of the state reformatory and
was told to send Leighton to st. Paul
and that he would meet him there.
Leighton was told that the state agent
would get him a position in a hotel, and
was glad TO take the 4: 45 p. m. train
yesterday for st. Paul Sheriff Williams
received word this morning that he had
arrived all right and that Mr.. Barncard
had taken him into custody. While on
the train to st. Paul, Leighton had an
other of his fits and tried to Jump
through the car window, but was re-
strained
Miss Dumbeck was much disappointed
bv the outcome of the case, but was
willing to remain at the hotel until her
parents arrived today to take her home.
She is said to be twentyfo years of

New York, whence they emabrked on
board the transport Sherman for Manila.

single charge, losing three men. Many,
however, dropped exhausted by the in
tense heat 1t was a terrible day, all
the Americans, accustomed, as they were
to the ATTITUDES of the north temperate
The battalion continued to advance,
day by day, in search of the hostile Fill
ipinos, who fell upon them from time

with great loss. Eleven battles had been
thus fought by the battalion in its tour
before the last of May. 4i.l

of bronze and silver medals that he has
won for records in craftsmanship.

The story is revived that the Chicago

Western through service to Green Bay
Immediately after the first of the year.
REPORT from Des Moines state that it
is semi officially announced that the
Great Western expects to enter into ar
rangements on Jan. l, which will give it
access to the Green Bay & Western
docks, elevators and coal handling plants
on the lake, and will permit it to reach
a lake port Independent of Chicago. 1t
is further reported that during the year
the property will be taken over as part
of the Great Western, in the same man.
ner as several short lines in Iowa and
Minnesota have already been absorbed.
The latter now afford connecting links
with the Green Bay & Western, which
would complete the through route and
place the Maple Leaf in a position to
control the most direct route from the
east to southern Minnesota and Iowa.
