IT'S A HANDSOME DISPLAY
ToIand's Business University Does IT.
80 self Proud i'm an Exhibit.
From Saturdays Daily. 4hslU a,l iiu

The display window of the Toland
Business University, at Mickelson's tail
oring establishment, is one of the finest
displays ever seen in this city. The
office appliances cannot be excelled, be-
inc brand new and of the most modern
makes and designs. There are $4,000
represented in Remington machines
alone, in addition to the electric dicta
ton phonograph, an appliance now used
by some of the largest corporations in
the country; handsome rotary mimeo-
graph; tabulators for special billing and
tabulating work, in fact, everything that
is used in the largest and best managed
offices today Mr.. Toland stated that
someone Connected with the Toland Uni
vcrsities is sent to the great cities ev-
cry few months to investigate new Of
flee methods, such as filing, indexing
special books and forms for business,
and everything pertaining to the purpose
of the schools. The pen work of Mr..
f. H. Fcaron shows great skill, con-
troll and artistic merit and is valuable
addition to the display. We believe it
would be time well spent for anyone to
see this display whether interested, in
business education or not.

De flares President C. E. Jack
son at Toiay's Meeting.
Have Paid Too Little Attention
to Business Matters.
Time They Should Cooperate
for Mutual Benefit.
from Wednesdays Daily.

About forty gentlemen in all, the
majority of whom were farmers of the
surrounding country, and the rest of
them members of the Mankato Business
hall this afternoon in response to the
call for a public meeting to consider the
elevator at Mankato. c. f. Jackson of
st. Cloud, president of the Minnesota
Farmers Exchange, was present and
made lengthy address covering much
the same ground as did his address at
the Business Mems meeting two weeks
ago. He explained the object of the
Minnesota Farmers Exchange, namely to
give the farmers terminal facilities
whereby he can get a just price for his
product. The exchange places the ter
minals in the hands of the farmer. The
exchange is extending all over the state.
He had himself organized .thirtyfve To-
cal exchanges. Kansas, Oklahoma and
Nebraska in this respect are ahead Of
Minnesota. The terminal elevators in the
hands of the farmers give them the ad-
condition.
Present at the meeting, too, was T. S.
Mcdonald, secretary Of the Minnesota
Farmers Exchange. who addressed the
farmers at the school house in Lime
township last night. He declared that
the farmer had been so busy in produc
ing his grain and other products that he
has paid too little attention to estab-
fishing proper facilities for the market
ing of these things. He held that CO.
operation is in accord with the present
progress of events. 1t is cutting away
expenses in all lines of business. Farm
ers should take up the new style meth
DDS and cut out needless middle men. He
cited cooperative diaries, fruit grow
ing associations, cooperative telephone
companies, and long list of other CO.
operative enterprises. showing that great
numbers of people can unite to conduct
business and can do it successfully.

CHICKENS ARE SCARCE.
Hunters Get Smaller Number Than
Usual.
From SATURDAYS Daily.

The chicken hunters have nearly all
returned, And they all bring the same
story, that the chicken crop is lighter
than for several years. Reports receiv-
ed earlier in the season led to the belief
that the crop was a plentiful one, but
this has turned out not to be the case.
Various reasons for this are advanced,
among them being the unusual number
of hawks, that may have eaten the
young ones, or the cold spring, the eggs
not Matching out. 1t is known that an
unusually large number of birds came
over from last year, in spite of the
severe winter.
Many hunters report an unusually
large proportion of old birds shot. One
party that killed nine birds found seven
of them were old birds. The coveys are
small, and the birds wild. sly
In spite of the drawbacks of scarcity
of birds and wet weather, good many
chickens were brought back to. The city,
and some fine game dinners will be scrv-
ed tomorrow.
There was general rain all over the
southwestern part of the state Thurs
day afternoon, that caught and drench-
ed many of the hunters, and rendered
the fields soft and muddy. Yesterday
was a better day for hunting than
Thursday, and those who went out were
generally rewarded with larger strings.
Corn needs about two weeks of good
weather to mature it, and in that event
it will be fine crop. The question that
the farmers are anxiously asking is
! whether tile frost will hold off so long
It is thought that it will if tonight car
be passed without frost.
The rain was needed and will help corr
and fall pasture, and will make fal
blowing easy. A good deal OF blowing
has been done. Threshing from thu
stacks is in full progress, the delay caus
ed by the rain not being as great al
might have been expected. Some rig
resumed work yesterday forenoon.

CARE OF STATES WARDS
Board Of Control Says the Cost Is
Greater Than Formerly.
From Wednesdays Daily.

The state board of control is busy
preparing the extensive manuscript TO;
its second biennial report to the COVER
nor. The first report issued by the
board covered about one year of the
boards existence. The fiscal year end
ing July 81, last concluded the third
year of the boards care of state insti
buttons, and its coming report will &c
cordingly cover twice the period re-
governor.
Although the report is as yet imma
ture, it can be stated that financially
it will not show the wards of the state
to have been cared for the past two
years as cheaply as during the first year
of the boards administration. The first
year the board showed net saving to
the state of $l65,6l5, as compared with
the expenditures of the old institution
boards. But since the prices of pro-
visions and fuel scared, and insurance
rates have increased. And that the en-
ployees of the state might be fairly
dealt with, in view of the increased cost
of living, horizontal increase of 10 per
cent in salaries was made, and later sal
aries were increased where especially de-
served, so that the salary pay roll to-
day will show up about 20 per cent high
er on the average than during the first
year of the boards administration.
All these things will go to make the
cost to the state of its wards much
higher than two or three years ago,
and yet the figures, it is said, will not
be as great as the total cost during the
last year of the existence of the insti
tutional boards, in spite of the low pur-
chasing market then existing.
The board has not yet prepared any
recommendations but it is understood
that one of them will follow that of
the first report in recommending that
the management of the state university
by divided AUTHORITATIVE different
boards-be discontinued
The board of controls report will be
issued probably about Dec. l.

Body Of Gus Anderson Found Hanging

Body Of Gus Anderson Found Hanging
in Farm Grove.
From Wednesdays Daily.
A most heartrending tragedy came to
light in Galena township Monday, when
the body of Gus Anderson was found
hanging by the neck in a deserted farm
grove not far from Triumph.
Last Saturday Mr. Anderson started,
as he said, for Triumph with horse and
buggy belonging to his father In law,
August Reingenhagen. Nothing further
was seen of him and INJURY failed to re-
veal his whereabouts until Monday when
the horse came home with harness on,
and Mr.. Reigenhagen supposing there
had been a runaway, started out to find
the driver and buggy. He finally locat-
ed both in the grove, the scene of the
tragedy, as above stated.
1t appears that Anderson drove into
the grove, mhitched the horse which he
tied to a tree; then placing a moose
about his neck, stood in the buggy and
tied the rope to limb as far above his
head as he could reach, then jumped out
of the buggy and met suicides death
almost instantly. The man planned and
carried out his own execution in almost
a perfect manner.
The horse evidently remained tied to
the tree until some time Sunday, night,
when owing to hunger, it broke loose
and wandered home.
Gus Anderson was about 40 years old,
had been married to Mr.. Reigenhagen's
daughter only six weeks and left no
letter or clue as to his desire to meet
death before his time. He had been at
work for John Helvig, of Waverly town
ship.-Fairmont Sentinel.

Meeting Was Field Last Night
to Discuss the Project.
Stock Is Now Feing Subscribed
for Quite Literally.
Mankato Is Second Choice of
Those Interested.
From Wednesdays D:.ily.

Farmers of the vicinity of Waters
Siding voted last evening not to locate
their cooperative elevator at Mankato.
The meeting was held at the school
house of District No. 10. About twenty
five were present
The general sentiment out there is to
get an elevator at Waters Siding if the
necessary. stock subscriptions can be
procured. Mankato. is the second choice
of these farmers. There are some, who
would find it handler to haul their grain
to Mankato than to Waters. Few of
these appeared at the meeting, and they
had little to say. The vote was prac-
tically unanimous for the Waters loca.
ton.
Subscription lists for stock are being
circulated among the farmers by Louis
Miller, chairman of the temporary or
9anzation that has been formed for the
purpose; Ed Schmidt, the secretary;
Henry Schultz, the treasurer; Leo Held
winkel and Matt BuTgmeier. About for
ty men have signed to take stock. The
total of the subscriptions is in the neigh
borhocd of 1000 In order to build a
good, adequate elevator, it will be neces-
sary to raise about three times that
amount
This elevator will be built by the Min
nesota Farmers Exchange, if the sub
scribers desire to hold stock directly in
that organization. If they so desire they
can form corporation of their own, and
this corporation, by purchasing stock
III the state exchange to the amount of
$500, may have the same advantage of
the terminal facilities of the exchange,
as if the farmers owned stock directly IN

one that has been put in practice at

most favor at Waters.

said to be of priceless value. The

Nuremberg in 1870. 1t is foot thick,
and is printed on very heavy paper.
Despite its age, it is well preserved,
and the type is as clear as if it had
been set yesterday. The many illus
