new ROAD FOR SLEEPY EYE.
But the Plans Are Not Accompanied
With Brass Band.
From Fridays Daily.

FROM FrlQayS daily.
The north and south railroad pro-
ject through Sleepy Eye is again under
consideration. This information was OBJ
tanned by the Sleepy Eye Dispatch from
"a reliable source yesterday.
Within the past week a party of rail
road men have been in Sleepy Eye in
the interests of the proposed new line,
but their presence was kept profound
secret. Only one or two men in town
knew of their visit, but they have moth
ing to say. They will not even say
who the men were who were here or
who is back of them.
The north and south railroad is no
new project for SLEEPY Eye. The last
promoter to visit that city was James
H. Smith of Des Moines. Whether the
party who was there last week has any
thing to do with any of the others who
have been there does not yet appear. 1t
is not likely that they have any connec-
ton with Mr.. Smiths company, since
he visited several people when he was in
town, and talked freely of his plans.
The last party is working on the
quiet and if there is anyone around the
city who knows anything about their
plans, they have nothing to make pub
lie

The case of State VS.. George Coils,

last Saturday. The evidence showed
that certain walnuts were taken from

found the defendants not guilty of the
crime of petit larceny charged against
them in the complaint and therefore ac-
quilted them all.-Amboy Herald.

his last visit here, he was taken sick

to be an attack of the grip. A man

Evan Hughes has received letter
from Rev. Z. NJ. Edmands of Wahpe
ton, n. d., former pastor of the Congre-

bles there were recently mentioned by

that the county attorney has withdrawn

THERE is A LABOR FAMINE.
Men are Scarce and Employment Is
Plentiful.

Cold weather is expected to relieve the
labor situation. A few frosts, coming
with the approaching end of the har
vest season, is due to drive laboring men
to the woods and to railroad work,
where they are sadly needed, says The
Minneapolis Journal.
H. s. Birch of the National Employ
ment company returned today from the
Chicago office and reports the situation
desperate there, as well as in Minneap-
oils. He said he could use ten times
the men he can find. He could use 25O
teams on railroad work. He wants
heavy teaming outfits to make con-
tracts.
In Chicago yesterday about ten men
were employed where there were orders
are being sought for railroad work on
the Milwaukee road in South Daota. Idle
men cannot be found. For other rail
road work i'm South Dakota, not yet
begun, there are orders for 80 men.
In Minneapolis the sawmill men are
short handed, and the numbering con-
Germs are as yet finding no men to I'LL
the winter camps. Help is expected to
come later from the harvest fields, how
ever. The immediate local field was
pretty near monopolized this summer by
the street railway company, which en-
ployed about 1000 men at good wages,
and stripped the market. Otherwise the
situation is similar to the usual fall
state of affairs when harvest is not quite
closed and winter orders are in, only
worse.
Loggers are paying better wages this
year. The ordinary swamp men are get
ting from $2S to $32 month, and
board.
Employment agencies are willing to
use any kind of labor. LoahnS around
headquarters is stopped. Men who come
into the various offices are snapped up
by the employment men if they will
work. and if not, it so aggravates the
agency men that they move the labor
ers on.
From Pierre, S. d., comes a story of
the difficulties attending the importa-
ton of labor. The Northwestern road
has not been able to begin yard work
there, although material is on hand, be-
cause it can't get men to work. The
Italian crew which was brought in last
week quit and left for Chicago, and 1T
may be several days before other labor
ers can be secured.

Many Notable People Booked
to Make Addresses.

Chicago; dorado Taft.

esting Features Scheduled.

Winona. Oct. l3.-President Guy +.
Maxwell, of the Winona Normal school,
secretary of the Minnesota Educational
association, has returned from st. Paul,
where he attendd a meeting of the eN-
ecutive committee of the association, at
which plans for the annual convention
TO be held at st. Paul on Decembr p,
% and 30 were discussed.
In speaking today of the melting of
this committee Secretary Maxwell said
that program of much excellence was
being arranged for the educational gath
ering in December and the indications
were there would be large attendance,
greater than last year when the unpre-
cedentedly severe snow storm prevented
MANY from reaching the convention. To
stimulate the attendance an endeavor is
now being made to get Il one fare rate
from the railways. This was granted
last year by the Western Passenger as
ISOLATION, but this does not include all
the roads in the state. 1t is hoped to
get all to make this concession this
year.
The program has already been par
italy outlined. DR.. Gunsaulus the cele-
brated Chicago preacher has been secur-
ed to make one of the principal ad-
dresses. Another prominent speaker
will be President John w. Cook of De
Kalb, ILL., Miss Sarah Cone Bryant, who
delighted normal students this week
with her story telling, has consented to
appear. Governor John Johnson has for
warded his acceptance of an invitation
to make an address. DR.. Haney, head
of the manual training school in New
York, city, will speak along the line of
his special work, and this address can
not fail to interest. Another excellent
lecture will be given by c. r. French,
at the head of the art institute OF Chi
cago. Jane Adams of Hull House fame
i'm Chicago, who delivered the address at
the normal commencement in this city
last June, is also on the program. Lor-
ado Talft and others will contribute to
make it notable, and complete offering
of an unusually high order.
In addition to the addresses it is
planned to make the music especially
attractive by employing some of the
best soloists of the twin cities to sing
at the convention sessions. One of the
evening lectures will be preceded by an
organ recital.
At the meeting of the executive com
mittee it was reported that all the Sec
tions are planning strong programs. Al
ready the college section, high schoo
council and elementary sections have
nearly completed their programs, and
other sections have the work of prep
aration well under way.

ATTACKED CHILDREN
Residents of Riverside Park Hunting
 for this v llain.

The residents of Riverside park are up in arms over the actions of q man in that neighborhood the past week, and if he is caught he is likely to be given a terrible beating, which he cer- tainly deserves, according to reports.
 Friday night, between 8 and , o'clock, couple of young girls were on their way home and were In the vicinity of the Eagle Brewing Co when they were attacked by the brute, but one of the children got away and com menced to scream. This made the-fel- low fear that he might get caught So he released the girl and skipped. The neighbors then started hunt for the assaulter. but had little success, as there were so many ways to escape. The children's parents, if they cap tured him. would certainly have filled him with shot.
 But not content with the part he had played in the earlier portion of the evening, the scoundrel later on again tried to waylay young girl, but she sought refuge in house near ny. A thorough search was then made for the prowler, but he seemed to disap- pear with wings No evidence, was in sight.
 The children could not give very good description of the fellow. but said he was poorly dressed and looked like foreigner.
 The place round about is a dismal one after dark and is just the spot | that such a fellow would select, as il is outside the police district and is moi passed by many persons after dark.

WOODBURY'S CONSENT
All That is Needed to Start the New
 Trolley Line.

Attorney N. R. Bronson, treasurer of the proposed Woodbury and Water bury trolley company, stated this morning that the entire right of way from Waterbury to Woodbury has been secured and all that stands in the way now to begin work is the per mission of the selectmen of Wood bury. Last Thursday the board of se- Iectmen of Middlebury held a meeting for the purpose of hearing the petition and as there was no objection to all lowing the company lay it's tracks through the town. the petition was granted.
 By Thursday, MT Bronson thought, the petition for right of way through Woodbury will be presented to the se- lectmen of that town and a hearing will be held as soon as possible. While everybody in Woodbury wants the trolley road and as soon as possible at that, there may crop up some dis cussion as to the right place to lay the tracks through the main streets. whether in the middle or on the side.
