Dr. Emile Reich, a European socf- ological student and investigator who Is credited with having spent five years in the United States, has recently written book in which he intimates strongly that this country before very long is likely to be the target of a hostile combination of European pow CTS. The great prosperity of the American people and the expansion of the sphere of action of the American government are among the causes which Dr. Reich considers as possible reasons for hatred abroad. If any such clash should ever come, appearances

The Confusion of Names in the War.

Were 1t not for the painstaking care of patient telegraph editors, newspaper readers would know even less than they do of the geography of the Russo Japanese war. Some humorist has of Tered the very pertinent suggestion that at the next international confer ence the rights of neutrals in future wars should be so presented as to as- sure that belligerents before entering upon military operations should be compelled to publish a map of the country in which the campaign is to take place with a uniform nomencla- ture which is to be strictly adhered to under penalty of some dire punishment sufficient to insure its observance.
 At the breaking out of hostilities be- tween Russian and Japan almost every map publishing house in the country issued a "correct'' or "oficiaT' map of the theater of operations and thous- ands of them were sold to anxious neutraIs who desired to keep posted upon the rapid march of events. The China-Japan war had made us more or less familiar with some portion of the territory over which the struggle was expected to sweep; we could recall Port Arthur as one of the stategical points and Cheefoo will be remembered as being the home of the most Nun chausenian war correspondent that two national combats ever produced; Harbin was easily located as the point to which the Russian viceroy hurriedly departed when he saw the smoke of Togo's fleet; Vladivostok was some where on the coast during warm weather and frigidly unapproachable during the rest of the year, and this was about the extent of the informa- tion afforded by the highly priced and gaudily- -colored maps sold to the pub lie. Later the newspapers located Liao Yang and Mukden fairly accurately but, beyond this, and the war has been going on for something like thirteen months. the vast expanse of Manchu- ria, in which the most terrific battles the world has known are being fought, is a terra incognita to the people at large.

It has been denounced abun- dantly in the foreign presses, but that is a very different thing from making 1t the pretext for a European confed- eration which might embrace half dozen nations. There appears to be no immediate cause for alarm.

AT HALF OF THE COST
SURVEYOR BROOKS TALKS OF CON-
STRUcTlON OF BRIDGES.
Concrete Structures Can Be Built
More Cheaply Than Those
OF Steel. He Declares.
From Tuesdays Daily.

From Tuesdays Daily
County Surveyor Brooks, who has re-
turned from Iowa, where he looked into
he matter of concrete bmdgriestoa hA
much thoroughness, states that small
bridges with one fifteen to twenty-four
foot spans can be built of concrete much
more cheaply than of steel and will far
outlast steel bridge, He is convinced
that bridge contract that was recently
awarded by the county board for about
$500 could have been let for $3.50 with
concrete construction. While small
bridges can be made more cheaply of
concrete, when it comes to large bridges
the steel construction is slightly cheap
er, but does not last as long, nor make
as pretty a bridge
With concrete bridge there is no
"oOu"Oih HldJeNci, 10 De renewed at
intervals, as with a steel bridge. The
roadway over the bridge is of gravel
mixed with clay, making a fine road,
drained with tile or otherwise
MIR. Brooks feels that he is competent
to plan and superintend the construc-
ton of a small concrete bridge, and
would like to see a beginning made, as
he believes that concrete would then be
used almost exclusively. Portland &C.
ment is used throughout, mixed with
gravel for small bridges and with brok-
en- stone for large bridges. The temper
allure does not affect them, for provision
is made for expansion and contraction.
Steel is used to strengthen the arches,
and experience has caused some of the
old notions to be thrown aside for more

MAY LACK A SIDE DISH
CRANgERRIES ARE REPORTED TO
BE 4 SCARCE ARTICLE.
Thanksgiving Dinner Liable 10 Be
Minus a DeiiCaCy; Late Frosts in
Spring Cause Crop Shortage.

From Tuesdays Daily.
Unless something of miraculous ma
ture happens to the market, many
Thanksgiving tables in Mankato will be
without that customary delicacy, cram
berry sauce. Not for several seasons
has the holiday continent been as high
priced as it is this year, and from the
reports received from the east the high
price will remain firm through the sea-
son.
Ordinarily Minneapolis uses about fif-
ty cars of cranberries during the sea
son. Each car contains two hundred
barrels, making the local output nearly
10000 barrels. The present jobbing price
Of cranberries is IS barrel, or trihe
over dollar higher than the usual price
If the price holds up as the commission
men believe it will, the retailer of
Minneapolis will pay over $4,000 more
than usual for their seasons cranber-
RIGS.
Advices from New Jersey and Cape
Cod, Mass, are to the effect that the
cranberry crop is not more than from
80 to 60 per cent of its usual size. The
Wisconsin crop is very poor, but as it is
one of the smaller cranberry producing
states its supply will not be enough to
affect the market materially.
Late frosts last spring and the raw
ages of the cranberry worm are blamed
for the shortage. The loss will aggre-
gate many thousands of dollars.
The price will be advanced in Man
kato next week. No Wisconsin berries
are being received here, as that crop is
so small that Chicago is taking the
whole of it. The supply for this city
comes entirely from New Jersey and
Cape Cod, Mass.

Butte, Mont, Oct. 5.-Pat Grove has

with the police, during which an officer
was shot He says the police fired six
teen shots at him before he replied, and
that he opened fire to save his own life.
He says that his sole object in coming
here was to surrender, believing that
he had better give himself up at dis
lance from home so that in yielding to
extradition he might make terms favor
able to himself with the Nebraska au-

he had been for little over a month.
His mother was at his bedside when he
passed away.

and was reared to manhood in Mankato.
He graduated from the high school with
the class of 1898, and served with Com
pany D. of Zumbrota, Fourteenth Min

the young man contracted the disease

DEATH For some time has been realized
that there was no hope for the young
man and the news of his passing away
was no surprise although it was receiv-
ed with regret and sorrow by his many
friends, for Oscar was popular with all
classes. He was a genial, whole souled
person with sympathetic nature. The
family have the sympathy of all in their
bereavement The deceased is survived
by his parents and a brother and sister,
Amman and Else Jache.
After Oscar Jache had served several
months in the army he was given an
honorable discharge. He then went to
st. Louis where he remained a year in
the employ of the Missouri Trust COM
pany. From st. Louis he went to Los
Angeles and remained short time in
the employ of trust company,
but the disease was taking a
strong hold on him and he was forced
to give up his position. He went to
Pasadena and stayed during the win
ter. Last spring he returned to Man
kato. A little more than a month ago
he went to Denver, hoping to recuperate
his health.
The remains will be brought to Man
kato, but no arrangements have as yet
been made for the funeral.

Same Fellow Fused Around
Mankafo Few Years Ago.
He Still Carries His Umbrella
and a Big Bible.
Annoys the Methodist Confer
ence at Rock River.
From Tuesdays Daily.

From Tuesdays Daily.
The Prince of Peace" who created
some excitement in Mankato a few
years ago, is still on earth and causing
no little annoyance to ministers of the
gospel in towns he visits. When "The
Prince" is not proclaiming himself as
Jesus c. he is mending umbrellas. His
latest stamping ground has been Free
port, Ill. \ dispatch from that city
says that long haired stranger, who
signed his name on the hotel register
Jesus c. God Heaven arrived there
yesterday to attend the Rock River con-
ference of the Methodist Episcopal
church. The hotel clerk fearing to arouse
the wrath of the ministers, changed the
name to Jesse c. Godfrey, South Haven,
Mich" The stranger says he is a son
of Goods Love-" He created a scene at
the ''love feast" at the conference, and
the preachers are in great fear that he
will break into one of the meetings of
the conference. The authorities are
watching him and he will be arrested if
he causes more trouble.
No one knows the mans real
name. He is German and goes about
armed with a large cotton umbrella and
huge Bible. He wears black linen
buster and black hat pulled down over
his ears His hair is long, black and
matted, and he wears beard. His
brown eyes are quiet, except when
reused with the fire of fanaticism.
Gripping his Bible and umbrella, he
set out for the ''love feast" presided
over by the Rev. c. L. Vaudeville,
Amazed looks followed his dignifed
march down the center of the church to
the place the deacons occupied. When
the opportunity came, despite the warn
ing gestures of those about him, he arose
and said in loud voice:
II am the chosen one. For God so
loved the world that he gave his only
begotten son that whosoever bciieveth
in him should not perish but have ever
lasting life. | am come to save the
world Believe i'll me-"
With this he sat down. The remain
der of the service was irregular, and the
stranger was watched nervously. He APP
peared to have but vague, interest,
however, in the proceedings and went
out quietly.
Later he walked the streets, stopping
now and then to inform groups of men
of his mission. In the evening he held
forth in the hotel lobby, where dozens
of prominent ministers were seated.
