ADULTERATION OFFOOD
GREATLY REDUCED
Vigorous Prosecution of Offenders Has
Lessened the Evil 65 Per Cent.

The result of the recent pure food
law, which went into effect the first of
the year, is shown IN the report Of the
state chemist covering the last three
months. Less adulteration was dis
covered in dairy and food samples than
in any similar period in the history of
the state dairy and food department.
Adulteration Of food has been reduc-
ed IS per cent during the past two
years as a result of vigorous prosecu-
ton Of violations of the law. Under the
new law, which imposes a higher
standard on food products than has
ever existed before, it is expected that
the reduction viii be even more ma
terial this year.

TOO MUCH TALLOW IN

tenpts to Blame Retail Butcher.

A. SOrrensOn, a local grocer, appear
ed in police court yesterday and paid a
fine of $25 for selling impure lard, hav-
ing been hailed into court by the state
dairy and food commission officer.
1T don't seem fair, your honor" ex-
planned the prisoner, for 1 buy my
lard from a retail butcher that does
business near me. He ought to pay the
fine"
But the court held that Sorrenson
had made the sale of the lard contain

stand the consequences and pay a fine
of $25. SorrensOn promptly laid down
the amount in gold and took his de-
parture.'

success.
J. c. Michael, the corporation attor-
ney, devoted most of his speech to an
answer to the Boyle sermon, denOunc-
ing in the strongest terms the man
agement of the social evil by the Re
publicans. He showed by records from
which he quoted freely that under the
administration of Mayor Kiefer the
women on Seventh street, as well as in
other locations of the city, were licens-
ed to ply their vocation and held that
it must follow that DR.. Boyle was ig-

charges against the Democratic admin

'T do not believe that there is a city
in the world that is freer from crime
than st. Paul at this time. The pro-
feSsional criminal is a man with some
sense and. knows where it is possible
for him to ply his nefarious business.
He gives st. Paul a wide berth. OF
course amateur criminals break loose in
the city, but it is never long until the
excellent police force under Chief
O'COnnor has the culprits behind the
bars, either in the workhouse or at the
penitentiary. 1t is impossible to stamp
out all species of crime. l believe there
are several places where it Is possible
to play social games Of poker but
doubt if the stakes are as high as could
be found at the private games on the

The speaker appealed to the voters
to elect Democratic city council that
can be depended upon to support the
mayor and other Democratic officials.
F. L. McGhee followed with charac-
teristic appeal to the voters, giving
short summary Of the preceding
speeches and arguing that it had been

Democrats than it was under Repub-

Passes on High Average.

When Frank Baasen left here last
Sunday for New Orleans only a few of
his friends knew that he had gone there
for the purpose of taking an examina-
ton for the position Of pay clerk in
the navy, but that was the object of
the trip. Word received from him by
his relatives in this city is to the eff
feet that he has passed the examina-
ton with an average of 80 per cent and
that he has gone to Galveston to take
the physical examination, preparatory
to entering upon his duties as pay
clerk on the Denver, of which vessel
James Beecher is paymaster. Frank
evidently surprised himself in his ex-
amidation as he had no previous pre-
paration and was much afraid that he
would fail. The position he will get
is a good one, the pay being above a
thousand dollars year and the cruise
of the ship taking him to the principal
parts of the globe. He is deserving
of the success and will no doubt work
up as rapidly as the navy service vii
permit

Grand Hotel Changes Owners.

Negotiations for the sale of the
Grand Hotel of this city, which have
been under way for some time were
finally concluded last Wednesday
when the papers were made out be-
tween John Schneider and j. F. Porter
OF Monroe Center, Ill. By the terms
of the deal Mr.. Schneider becomes the
possessor of IL ,O29 acres of land at
Frankfort, S. D. and Mr.. Porter has
the hotel. The land that Mr.. Schnei-
der has secured is said to be worth
fully $4,000, some of it being under
cultivation and having good buildings
on it. The hotel is valued at 1921, 900
and is worth the price. The present
landlord, who has made success of
the enterprise, has secured from the
new proprietor a lease for two years
and will continue to make the place
popular for the travelling public.

REPAIRS FOR COLLEGE
Trustees Of Lutheran College Will
Spend Money.

Following the action Of the Luther
an synod, which voted to allow the
college at this place the sum of 800
for repairs, the trustees of the school
held a meeting last week and voted
to use the money for the purpose of
placing hardwood floors in the rooms
where the present floors have become
unserviceable and to make such other
repairs in the wood work as was neces-
sary, and also to lay considerable
cement walk.
The residence of Prof. Schaller will
be thoroughly repaired and put in
better shape. Another year it is ex-
pected that the synod will act upon the
plans that will have been made and
submitted for the contemplated addi-
ton to the school and this institution
which should be matter of pride tC
all Of the citizens Of the city will ther
show up to better advantage.
The school is in a growing condi
ton and shows evidence of the inter
est that the local instructors take il
its welfare.

CUTS HIS WAY into JAIL
Stabbing ARRAY at Springfield Re-
suits Disasterously.
Thomas Rasetter Denied Choice of
Bed Fellows in Box Car.
Has His Skin Pictured Five Times
With Pocket Knife.

Thos. Rasetter, an itinerant, known
to the world as tramp, was stabbed
five times by man similarly known
at Springfield last Thursday night.
The wounded man was not expected to
live through the night but up to date
he is alive and apparently improving,
in the hospital at Springfield.
The story of the crime as told at the
hearing is to the effect that Rasetter,
who wandered into Springfield, was
looking for a place to sleep and
CHANGED to get into the private box car
of the man John Riley OF Chicago,
who with some friends were on a tour
of the country. There was no dispo-
sition on the part of Riley to resent
the intrusion, but the looks of the
crowd did not suit the fastidious taste
of Rasetter and he sought to Withdraw
from the place. This angered the
others who apparently thought they
were as good tramps as were on the
road and they protested against the
slight.
Rasetter persisted in his withdrawal
and being his own campaign manager,
left the convention without the usual
formalities, where upon he was set up
on by Riley, who, it is claimed, stabb-
ed him with pocket knife, cutting him
-, ~ 200, ,,oolx ,,1 i, tho v;oipitv Of
his heart. The fleeing man, with blood
gushing from his wounds, rushed
toward the depot yelling murder! at the
top of his voice. He attracted the at
tention of the people of the vicinity
but before they could reach him he
fell, being faint from the loss of blood.
Riley was apprehended by the mar
shall of the village and held in the
cooler until County Attorney Hoidale
arrived when he was given a hearing
and as the evidence was apparently
conclusive he was bound over to the
grand jury and will spend the summer
at the Brown county summer resort,
surrounded by idleness and iron bars,
and the influence of VIM. Julius and
Chas. Brust. who have been lonesome
since the departure of their latest
guests to the state prison. Riley
claims to be from Chicago and gives
his age as 80. He is a husky looking
fellow and capable of doing better
work than tramping. He will have
some time to mediate before his tria
and then some if the grand jury finds
a bill against him.

attractions are up to the standard Of
the entertainments of this character
and are not disappointing to those
who expected good show. There is
much to be seen and if ore does the
round of the shows he gets his moneys
worth.
This is the first time thing of this
character has found itself in this city
and it is attracting great attention,
especially from those who live here.
The attendance from the country is
not as large as it would be if the
farmers were not engaged in the
harvesting of their hay crop and
looking after their barley and rye
which is ready for the harvester.
The shows are all of character
that please and entertain and there is
nothing that the most exacting may
see without fear of offense. The com
pany is attempting to do what is right
by the people and is deserving of a
good patronage.
