SMITH IS
VICTIM OF A JOKE
Prosecutes Former Hired Man
for Writing Threatening Let
tersPennedbyOwn Child

r. Smith. a farmer living near st.
Bonifacfus, near the west end of Lake
Mlnnetonka, had a novel experience
yesterday
According to the story related in
Judge Dickinson's court yesterday
smith earlier in the season had a
hlred man named Jacob Rose. Mr..
Smith also possessed a comely daugh-
ter, which Rose was not long in noting.
He paid court to the young woman and
was regarded by her with favor.
While Mr. Smith looked upon Jake
as capable young man in the light of
farm hand, he did not think anything
Of him as a prospective son-in-law.
and he plainly said So The opposition
Of the old man" only caused the young
folks to become SO ardent in their love
making that Jake lost his job and was
forbidden the premises.
Soon afterward Farmer Smith began
!. to find tackled up on his shade and
fruit trees or tucked under his door.
rudely penciled letters containing all
sorts of threats against his life and
property At first he paid no attention
to the letters, but as they increased in
violence he began to be afraid that
somebody was after him. Matters
finally grew to such pass that Smith
was afraid to stay at home and Tues
day night he went to Excelsior and
put up at one of the hotels, so terroriz-
ed that he would not go home
After his discharge from Smiths en-
ploy Rose had gone to work at the
Woolough hotel on Felix's island. Smith
had suspected him of writing the mys-
ferrous notes, and SO firmly convinced
was he that his former "hand' and his
daughters lover was at the bottom of
the trouble that yesterday he swore out
a warrant for Roses arrest The war
rant was served by Constable Powers
the same day.
Rose had made friends around the
hotel, however, and they decided to see
him through the trouble. A boat load
of twenty-five or thirty accompanied
the constable and his prisoner to Judge
DickinsonS court, and the trial began.
So well did Rose and his friends pre-
sent his case that the prosecuting wit
ness and the court believed his story.
He convinced them that not only had
he had nothing to do with the white
cap" notices but that the real culprit
was Smiths own daughter, a girl of
eight years. The case against the little
girl seemed perfectly made out, and the
father dropped the case against Rose.
The girl is said to be bright one,
but up to this time has been detected
in no mischief. Whether her big sister
has had a hand in the fun was not dis
closed in tibet rial.
Smith dismissed his fears with the
| case and last night slept at home.

The announcement of the officers for
the cadet corps of the university was
made yesterday by Maj. George H.
Morgan, commandant at the state uni
versity. The appointments are usually
made in the spring, but owing to a
proposed change in the time of drill
and the separation of the academic and
engineering course this was impossible
last spring.
The faculty programme committee

terms The motion to punish was de-
MED and the injunction set aside.
The decision goes further than the con-
tract between the unions and the manu-
facturers, holding also that contracts re-
quiring the employment of none but union
labor are void. The court says it is class
discrimination. The principal reasons
which led the court to make this order
and which to his mind make it clear that
the temporary injunction was improve
IDENTIFY granted are:
First-The injunction Is not proper be,
cause the contract upon which 1t is based
is void for want of mutually.
Second-The contract is void as against
public policy,
The court said: This agreement strikes
at the right of contract and provides
that complainant shall employ none but
members of the. several unions, thus dis
eliminating in favor of one class of men
and excluding all others. Therefore the
prohibition contained in the contract
strikes at the right Of contract both on
the part of the laborer and the employer;
The agreements in question would tend
to create monopoly in favor of the
members of the different unions to the
exclusion of workmen not members Of
such unions and are in this respect UNI
lawful. Contracts tending to create a
monopoly are void"

DECISIVE BATTLE
IS REPORTED
Continued From First Page,
CLOSE IN ON IA TcHE KIAo

ST. PETERSBURG, July 13.-Stead-
lily and cautiously Gen. Oku's army
from the south and Gen. .Nozu's army
from the east are closing in upon Ia
Tche Kiao, where Gen. Kuropatkin is
reported to be intrenched. One hun
dred and thirty thousand men are in
yolved= in the movement. The next
few days will determine whether and
to what extent Gen. Kuropatkin intends
to make stand at Ia Tche Kiao, the
possession of which by the Japanese
VIII compel the evacuation of New
chwang by the Russians. The outposts
of the armies are fifteen miles apart.
Lieut.. Gen. Sakahroff reported that
Gen. K.uroki is massing his troops near
the Phamlln pass and moving out by
both roads upon Hai-tcheng. Heavy
pressure from this quarter would rem
der Ia Tche Kiao untenable.
All the Japanese energies now seem
to be concentrated on Ia Tche Kiao
and Hai-tcheng. The operations to the
north, which may have been feints,
have been suddenly changed The sud-
den activity of Chinese bandits in the
valley Of Lao river at this critical mo-:
ment means additional embarrassment
to Gen. Kuropatkin.
kuRoPATKlN's DESIGN
The usually well Informed military
critic of the Russky Piedomisti says
that Gen. Kuropatkin is deliberately
surrendering his southern positions,
like that of Kai-chou, for the purpose
Of drawing the japanese into the open
country at or about Kai-chou, where
the Russians are able to deploy large
forces and to derive large advantage
from their cavalry. He attributes Gen.
Oku's advance to the necessity of help
ing Gen. Nozu, whose divisions are
stalled in the Chapu and Dalin passes
on account of transport difficulties, and
to the stubborn resistance of Gen.
Zaroubarieff, commander of the fourth
Siberian army corps, whose forces will
have to be cleared out before south
ern advance is made. x;
The critic thinks that the japanese
game of strategy is to effect juncture
between Nozu and Oku in order to
force Kuropatkin to the northward, and
if this plan should be successful, to
combine with Kuroki near Liau-yan2

Wichita, Kas., April 22.-The first
actual work of building the F'risco's
park on the ground adjacent to that
company's passenger station on East
Douglas avenue was commenced yes
terday morning by a force of ten men.
The work has progressed rapidly. By
last evening the ground had been
plOwed and numerous trees planted.
A special employee of the Frisco,
who does nothing but oversee the
work of installing parks and keeping
them in condition, is here in charge
of the work. He will remain until
the work is finished.
All along the west side of the spot
selected for the park trees and shrubs
were planted yesterday. A driveway
has been staked off and excepting
where flowers viii be placed the
ground will be planted in blue grass.
On the north side of the park. near
the sidewalk on Douglas avenue it
has been planned to put in a hand
some flower bed. The plants will be
placed so as to make the letters form

building the park here says Wichita
will have one of the finest on that
