PROTECT STATE BUILDINGS.
Insurance Taken Out on Capitol Is
$1,000,O00--.To Be Increased.
From FRIDAYS Daily

from fridays Daily.
Minnesota this year is paying a rate
of $l.25 for its insurance, against 81
last year and for some years previous.
The state board of control is now nego-
tiating for about 100000 of insurance,
and it is stated that the heavy losses
suffered by the insurance companies the
past year is responsible for the increased
rate.
Only 100000 worth of insurance has
been arranged for the new capitol, but
Mr.. Leavitt, member of the board, says
the legislature will undoubtedly increase
the amount. There is not so much dan
ger of the building being consumed by
fire as to the immense amount of dam
age a little smudge would do to the
valuable interior decorations.
The state university will be provided
with about $l,3OO,OOO worth of protec-
ton from fire.
The amount of insurance ordered this
year is about double that of previous
years. The state suffered one or two
heavy losses this year, and the members
of the board of control are of opinion
that every state building should be adj
equately protected.
In placing insurance the board of con-
troll has given the bulk of it to those
companies who suffered loss by fire in
the state institutions.

NARROWLY ESCAPED DEATH.
Erick Erickson, Brakeman, Injured
Severely This Morning.
From FRIDAYS Daily,

Erick Erickson of North Mankato,
brakeman on the Northwestern line, was
hurt and really had narrow escape
from very serious injury or death, while
helping to manipulate cars in the quar-
nv district between one and two o'clock
this morning. Erickson had stepped upon
the ladder of the rear of train, that
was moving forwards, when the car pass
ed pile of stone that had been plac
ed so near the track as to allow the cars
to pass, but not to admit the width of
a mans body between the car and the
pile. Erickson struck against the stone
pile, was knocked from the ladder and
fell upon the track. His right leg receiv-
ed quite wound and there was a severe
confusion of both legs. If he had step
ped upon the train anywhere else, or if
the train had been going backwards in
stead of forwards, he would inevitably
have been run over. A physician dress
ed the wounds this morning about two
o'clock, and Erickson was taken to his
home. Erickson has been a brakeman
on the Northwestern for about sixteen
years past.

CHARGED WITH THEFT.
Harry Perry, Suspected Camp Meet.
ing Robber, Under Arrest.
From, Mopdou,o nosIr
From Mondays Dali

nAohoSy DdhJ.
Harry Perry, a young man who has
been working in st. Clair and vicinity
for some time past, short time at a
place, was locked up this noon by Off
Ger Klughertz on suspicion of being the
party who committed the thefts at the
camp meeting at the Morse mineral
springs few days ago, when some cloth
ing was stolen, and also DR.. F. U. Davis
case of surgical instruments. Some par
ties from st. Clair pointed Perry out to
the officer and expressed the opinion of
his guilt. They found Geo. S. Phillips of
Mcpherson, who was also in the city, and
he called at the county attorneys office
and made complaint of Perry. A war
rant for the latter's arrest was issued.
Perry was placed in the sweat box
this afternoon, but stoutly denied that
he was the party wanted. The officers
thought that they had tripped him once or
twice in his statements.
The warrant charges Perry with grand
larceny in the second degree, committed
on July 9th. 1t charges that he took an
overcoat, coat, 500 note, a razor, a
comb and pair of clippers and valise.
Perry was arraigned and his hearing
was set for July 25th at 10 a. m. His
bond was placed at $500 and he was sent
to the county Jail, being unable to fur
nish it.

FARMERS WERE TAKEN IN.
lie Sueur County Residents Touched
to Amount of $3.50.

The LIE Sueur County Leader says that
the threshermen of that county were
taken in by pair of smooth manipu-
lators to the tune of about 5000 un-
der the pretext of being representa-
ticves of the National Threshers' Pro-
tective association of Chicago.
According to The Leader these two
individuals landed in lie Sueur county
in the month of March, 1908, to perfect
branch of the national organization.
Thirty four threshers responded and
were admitted to membership upon the
payment of $3.50 each, total of $3.50.
1t was understood that the money was
to 60 to the grand lodge in payment of
a charter and their right to travel as
members of the association.
Up to the present time, however,
nothing has been heard of the charter
nor of the men that collected the money,
and the threshers now feel that they
have been vicitimized and that the whole
matter was fraud.

ROBBED A LITTLE GIRL.
From Saturdays Daily.

| AOAA NsSoAAy % A>AAy'
An eight year old girl whose home is
at Elysian started out yesterday after
noon to go to LIE Sueur Center She was
placed in charge of Conductor Steve o.
son of the Chicago Great Western road
and got to Mankato safely. She bought
her ticket to LIE Sueur Center over the
Milwaukee road and remained in the
depot until the train arrived. She plac-
ed her valise in the doorway and laid
her purse on top of it and spent the
time sitting down or walking about the
room. Along toward train time she
looked into her purse to see if her tick
ct was all right, when she discovered
| that someone had rifed it of its con-
tents, the ticket and fifteen cents. The
purse had been laid back on the valise
just as it was before
The little girl told her troubles to
Agent Farnum, and she was given an
other ticket and went on her way re-
joicing
Some tough looking buns had been no
ticed lounging about the depot, and it is
supposed that one of these waited for an
opportunity and went through the purse
when the girl was not looking that way

SWEETHEART FOR A DOG.
Winsted, Conn.,, Man Makes a Re.
markabIe SWAP With Rival,

Winsted, Conn, July lS.-Washington
Fuller has married his brother Arthur's
girl, and brother Arthur is now owner
of Wellington's prize coon dog. Well
ington says he has got the best and pref
tiest girl in Berkshire county, Mass,
and brother Arthur says that if there is
any dog in the county that can tree more
coons than his new dog he'd like to know
it.
Wellington and Arthur both became
smitten with pretty Miss Ivy White,
Walter Whites daughter, last fall, and
they began "callin' regular" Arthur
is "a and his brother 26. Soon the big
brother began to understand that the
little brother was getting more smiles
than he was, and the village folk told
him that he had better be spry. He might
have settled it in a fight, but he chose
diplomacy.
arthur, did We ever see coon dog
| that could ketch more coons than my
Sport?"
Arthur admitted he hadn't.
arthur, Miss Ivy is pretty girl, but
guess as how you have seen some one
jest as pretty?
Arthur thought maybe he had.
"Well, Arthur, there amt another
coon dog like Sport, and there may be
another girl like Miss Ivy. 1 am going
to give you Sport. He's your'n.'
Arthur was delighted.
"And when you get Sport 1 want you
to forget the way to Miss Ivy's house
and let me do all the counting alone y
said the big brother.
Arthur thought it over. Sport GER
tainly was good dog and Miss Ivy
certainly was fine girl-but there
wasn't another dog like Sport.
"Being as I am only twenty-four and
pretty young to get married, guess
will take the coon dog, if We really mean
it," announced Arthur.
To show that he meant it Wellington
and Miss Ivy White were married in the
village church in New Boston, Mass. Ar
thur has bought new gun and is i'm
patient to get after the coons.

ENGLISH VIEW OF ROOSEVELT
The London Spectator Pays High
Tribute to the President.
From Fridays Daily,

from fridays Daily.
Though not, of course, in anything like
the same degree, a similar feeling has
arisen here in regard to Mr.. Roosevelt.
The British people feel that he is an
English-speaking man of whom they
have a right to be proud, man who is
carrying on the great POLITICAL tradi-
tion-a tradition which, though so often
obscured both here and on the other side
of the Atlantic, has never wholly died
out. Though there are many things in
which they may disagree about the presi-
dent, many things which some of them
dislike, they are agreed that he is essen
TALLY a man who stands for honest
government; that he is man who
dares look his own people straight in the
face and tell them the truth, though
that truth may be the most unpalatable
thing which he could utter. They have,
for example, not forgotten the words
which he addressed to America on the
national disgrace of lynching. Those
were, they held, the straight words of a
straight man.
Mr.. Roosevelt is essentially moderate
mana man who realizes the value of
the just mean; man who, in our poll
tical phraseology, takes "the Wing
view" The essential moderation of Mr..
Roosevelt's view has been, we readily
admit, obscured by the enthusiasm with
which he throws himself into all ques-
tions which he believes to be of import
ance, by the vigor of his language, and
by the tenacity of his nature. That he
speaks in loud and firm terms, shouts,
and that he holds on like a bulldog, is
doubtless true; but he does not hold on
to the extreme things, but to the sensi-
BILE and moderate things. After all, the
, moderate view is not necessarily the
,, weak or undecided view. The middle is
as distinct point as either end, and
there is no reason why it should not be
grasped with a grip of iron. 1t is true
that those who adopt moderate views of
ten do so, not so much because they be-
lieve in them per Sc, as because they
cannot definitely make up their minds,
and think that the middle view is the
easy view to shift from. Such men, no
doubt, take hold weakly and tentatively.
This, however, does not prevent the man
who chooses the moderate view deliber-
ately, and because he believes in it, hold
ing it as firmly as ii he were an extrem-
list.
The Wing may be as ready to die at
the post he has chosen, if he has chosen
it because he believes in it, as the veriest
fanatic. 1t would, then, be the height of
misconception to imagine Mr.. Roosevelt
man of violence or fanaticism because
he expresses himself vigorously and un-
compromisingly. Look below his strong
wrds and emphatic decisions, and you
will find that his view is essentially the
moderate view.-London Spectator.

SOLDIER BOYS HOME.
Company H Returns From Annual
Outing at Camp Lakeview.


All the members of Company H, with
the single exception of Lieutenant Mad
son, numbering fifty-one in all who spent
the past ten days in camp on the shore
of Lake Pepin, came home last evening.
Yesterday morning they spent at the
camp, packing up their belongings and
getting ready to leave with many ex-
pressions of regret that they could not
remain in camp another ten days. In
deed they had good time while there.
At two o'clock yesterday afternoon they
boarded a special Milwaukee train for
st. Paul and arrived there at $3.50. At
st. Paul they got on Omaha No. Z, hav-
ing special car reserved for their own
use, and arrived in the city at 1855 last
evening.
The greatest honor that the company
won during the entire encampment was
their carrying off the first honors in the
quarters inspection. The cleanliness,
neatness and order of the kitchen, mess
house and tents of Company H may be
said with fairness to be due in the main
to the ever faithful efforts of First Ser
geant Morgan E. Bowen and Quarter
master Sergeant Carl Fields.
Company H in the shooting drills won
ten positions of marksman and three
positions of sharpshooter. The names of
the winners will be known when the
reports are in. In this respect the COM
pany did about as well as the average.
Three members of the Second Regi-
ment did excellent schooling that won
the designation of expert rifemen. One
of these three was DR.. Stephan of Com
pany H.
In the team shoot, seven men from
each company constituting a team, Com
pany III fell to the bottom of the list
The staff officers of the regiment came
out first.
Another very interesting feature of the
camp was the sham battle of Wednesday
Col. Wright praised the regiment and
said it was a surprise to him to see the
boys use so much military judgment in
| the movements they executed.
; On Wednesday too the entire regiment
was entertained at the Underwood nur-
sery, three miles from camp. The boys
were treated to coffee with sugar and
cream, and the officers given handsome
mementoes in the form of flowers and
bouquets.
