into consideration. Every mem
Der Of tho council expressed the
opinion that not a straw should
be laid in the way Of the con
tractors who will build the new
railway, but that every citizen Of
the city should help as much as
possible in getting the work
under way.
Bills Of homesteaders who own
land which will be traversed by
the railway were presented and
the council promptly allowed
them. The right Of way bought
amounts to four miles, which
leaves q miles yet to be pur-
chased.
Work on the road has been
started and number of men are
at work today cutting, the right

pushed by the contractors, who
expect to have the right Of way
cleared and a large share of the

TAKEN TWENTY FIVE MILES

The second serious accident to
hunters during the five days that
have passed occurred yesterday,
when Christ Bakken, a resident
Of ltasca county, accidentally
shot himself through the foot
while out hunting with two com
panions. Bakken was talking to
one Of his companions and was
leaning on-his gun, holding the
muzle on his foot. In some
manner the gun was discharged
and the bullet almost tore the
foot from his body. The men
who were with him were ,horri-

where the wound was dressed.
The trip through the woods is de

ever took. as not the least sign OF

ARRESTS AT ELYSIAN.
Two Fellows Charged With Stealing
and Other Depredations,
From tuesdays Daily.

Elmer Coddington and Fred Spoor
were arrested at Elysian on complaint of
Detective Howell, and taken to the coun-
ty seat, LIE Sueur Center. The war
rants were issued by County Attorney
Edgerton, and the specific offense charg-
ed is stealing flour and feed from the
Elysian mill, and attempting to crack
the safe. Several business houses here
have been broken into during the past
few months. Other offenses against the
law, of more serious character than
burglary, have also been perpetrated, and
the business men and authorities are
determined that the guilty parties shall
be apprehended. The citizens organized
a protective league, and engaged detec-
tive, who has spent a month here secur-
ing evidence that he is confident will
convict. The first arrest was made Sat
urday and it is expected others will fol-
low when the proper time comes. The in
vestigations promise to reveal some
startling surprises for those implicated.

the needed legislation for this city.
Railroad rates, good roads legislation
and other topics could be talked over.
Mankato is not the only town in the
state that is suffering from the high
rates imposed by railroads, and con-
certed action on the part of the suf-
ferers is the only way that the rank in
justice can be changed to a fair deal
Mankato business men can assist in the
work of securing the enactment of
laws that will compel the transporta-
ton companies to treat the smaller cities
and the villages the same as they do the
larger commercial centers. The members
of the legislature from this county
should be given to understand that they
are expected to 'stand pat' for this
kind of legislation. 1t. is not suspect
ed that the Blue Earth county delegation

Colonel, You Are Mistaken.

Our sometimes cratic friend, the col
onel, whose habitat is in Lake Crystal,
hands The Free Press the following:
THE Free Press may think the Man
kato Board of Trade is non-partisian
but it is awfully mistaken. There are
few members of that association who
are above political schemes in posi-
ton of that kind, but the majority are
as full of that kind of rot as an animal
is full of feas"
Colonel, you are mistaken; you wrong
the Board of Trade. That body has been
criticised often, and sometimes Justly so,
but in this instance the organization did
nothing for which it deserves censure.
It's officers, finding themselves in the
wrong, offered no excuse but accepted
the reprimand. Now, if the Board of
Trade will place the censure upon the
parties who without warrant used the
organizations stationery to circulate a
deliberate falsehood. then the board can
close the incident" so far as it is con-
cerned. Others, however, may have IL
cense to discuss this piece of political
chicanery.

Have a Heart.to. Heart Talk.

The Business Mems association at its
meeting Wednesday night discussed
briefly the matter of freight rates. This
question has been mashed and rehashed,
narrowed and reharrowed in Mankato's
commercial bodies for several years
past, but nothing of beneficial char
acter has resulted. Agitation for re-
form of existing evils is good thing,
but the time to act on this one of dis
eliminating freight rates has arrived.
Some months ago The Free Press made
the suggestion that the commercial
bodies invite the candidates for the leg
islature before them for the purpose of
ascertaining their views on certain i'm
portant public questions. Nothing, how
ever, was done. 1t is not too late for
the issuance of the invitation to the
members elect. Why not have these
gentlemen come before joint session of
the Board of Trade and Business Mems
association at some time in the near
future and discuss those matters in
which the people of this city are inter
ested? In this way the Blue Earth

Farm Life Made Attractive.

County Superintendent p. o. Cole OF
Mason City, Iowa, among other thoughts
contributed to The Midland Schools, a
magazine devoted to educational mat
tiers, said:
'How soon may we expect to see the
schools of township consolidated into
one where a ten-acre plat of ground
is laid out for the teachers of agrl-
culture and horticulture to our rural
pupils. and where one of the corps of
teachers employed shall be a graduate
from these courses? ?"
In other words, Superintendent Cole
would have agriculture and horticulture
taught the boys and girls who attend the
rural schools. This instruction would
have strong tendency to make farm
life more attractive to the young men
and women of rural communities, and
they would have no desire to rush to the
cities to seek employment, as so many
of them are doing now.
Farming has long since become recog-
nized as one of the professions. There
was a time when farmers scoffed at
scientific farming, they took no stock in
''book learning" but that day has pass
ed away. Agricultural colleges and eX-
detrimental stations are recognized fac
tors in the making of the most success
full farmers, the man who reaps the re-
wards of well applied learning to his
daily work in the stable, in the cream
cry, in the poultry shed, and those who
care for their stock after the methods
employed at these schools of instruc-
ton. The great fame achieved by Min
nesota as butter state is due to the
instruction given dairymen at the agri-
cultural college and the experimental
station. Some of the finest cattle rails
ed on the continent are to be found in
this great commonwealth. Those men
who possess these wealth-producers did
not raise this stock in a haphazard man
ner, but they mixed brains with the feed
that went into the stomachs of the ami
mails.
The cities are OVERLOOKING with hui
manity. There is space to spare out on
the prairies and there is land to be
had in the north, south, east and west.
Teach the children all about agricul-
ture. Not only in the rural districts
but in the city schools as well. Many
a city boy would become fascinated with
the life on farm, and as soon as he
COULD do so would become tiller of the
soil. Who knows but sooner or later
the professions would be formed in the
cities and they would march from these
congested centers to the widespreading
valleys, instead of the forces gathering
in the country and heading for the cities,
as is the case at present.
