burg Tuesday and Wednesday of this
week and the members of the commits
sion, Generals c. c. Andrews. l.. f. Hub

other states are also contemplating put
ting up memorials for their soldiers and
that some concerns will have on the
grounds monuments and memorials, and
the commissioners of several states will
meet at the same time.
The movement for a memorial to the
soldiers who fought at Nicksburg was
begun in 1891, when the legislature au-
horned the governor to appoint a
commission to determine the position
II the Minnesota troops and designate
the positions held by the respective or
ganiZations and the places where the
soldiers Of this state fell in the assault

recommended that $4,000 be appropri-
lUe.. to mark permanently and suitably
he position of such troops and worth
ily commemorate the valor and services
If the Minnesota soldiers.
The federal government had then al
cady designated the principal lines of
'attle by constructing broad avenues
md setting apart certain circles desig-
Eating the position occupied by the
of the Union forces.
Several other states had then decided

IF 1903 directed that suitable monu-
ment be erected to the Third, Fourth
md Fifth regiments of Minnesota vol
lnteers on OF near the circles indicating
he position of General Grants head
quarters during the seige of Vicksburg

,ronze tablets be erected. one on or

There is legend that connects Min
-neopa Falls with stirring adventure
among the Sioux. Before the white
men came to disturb and dispossess the
Indians of the soil, there lived a sub
chief of the Sioux named Sintomndu-
tab, who is referred to in Thomas
Hughes paper on the Inkupadutah mas
sacre, now being published by The Free
Press. His sister was married to an
other subchief, who tired of her charms
and desired to put her away, no doubt
to wed some other dusky maiden 1t
was necessary to have some charge
against her in order to do this, so he
trumpet up charge of infdelity, and
referred it to the medicine men of his
band. They decreed the customary pun
ishment for such an offense, the cut

GOOD THUN0ER is AGOG.
Arrival of Milwaukee Road Surveyors
Stirs Up the Town..
From Saturdays Daily.

From Saturday Da;N.
County Surveyor Brooks was at
Good Thunder yesterday, and found the
air full of suppressed excitement over
the movements of the surveying corps
and right of way agent of the Milwau-
kee road. Both are at work. The pre-
liminary survey has been run from
point on the Milwaukee road a mile and
a half south of Good Thunder due east
to Cream, and it was reported that from
there the line would go to Alma City
and thence to Albert Lea. The final
survey, which definitely locates the line
has begun.
Mr.. Brooks saw the right of way
agent, who claimed to be securing right
of way for the line. He said that he
had been hurried there from Dakota.
and had not yet secured the Minnesota
form of deeds, but he was securing OPP
tions. Mr.. Brooks learned from an
other source that the right of way is
being secured at cost of 81 200 a mile,
or about 800 per acre
The proposed branch leaves the main
line at the Graf farm and goes across
the old Hanna place.
The right of way agent, whose name
Mr.. Brooks did not learn, informed him
that the grading contractors would ar
rive last night or this morning and go
to work at once and push the work as
long as the weather will permit
1t seemed to be the impression at
Good Thunder that the Milwaukee road
has awakened to the fact that it needs
to protect its territory between Mankato
and Albert Lea, so that it will not slip
away into the grasp of the Duluth, st.
Cloud Glencoe & Mankato road. Con-
siderable speculation was being indulg-
ed in as to what effect the activity of
the Milwaukee road would have upon
the alphabet" road.

would give the husband the right TO cast

would give the husband the right TO east
her aside.
In some manner, Smtomndutah heard
of this plot against his sister and waXed
angry. He abducted his sisted from her
husbands camp and fled to Minneopa
Falls, where they concealed themselves
for several days in the cave that is be-
side the falls, and forty feet above the
bottom of the rocky gorge. His warriors
were away at the time, but he sent for
them and when they arrived he emerg-
ed from his hiding place, and sanguin-
airy battle took place where West Man
kato now stands. Sintomdutah came
ont victorious and his sister was freed
from any danger from her perfdious
husband. The cave was known to the
early residents as Sintomndutah's cave.

cures of the Great Cooper continues I'M
abated.
One of the largest crowds that has
yet called upon the noted Philanthro-
pist visited him yesterday and a re-
markable demonstration of his power
was given before the entire audience.
Selecting an elderly gentleman, whom
ne noticed carrying an ear trumpet,
Cooper motiOned for him to come for
ward. He poured a few drops of a pc
culiar liquid into the mans ears and
then rubbed them softly for a moment.
Stepping quickly backward to dis
tance of sixty feet, he said in an ordi-
nary conversational tone, Can you
hear me-" A look of surprise and de-
light spread over the mans face as he
answered, eyes, [ hear you perfectly"
How this remarkable work was ac-
,omplished would be difficult to say, but
t seemed certain that there could have
been no subterfuge in the results ac
oomplished. to those who were eye wit

IF these people at the first sound of

state will also purchase fourteen acres
from Mr.. Little which adjoins the town
property on the south. The railroad will
run through the thirty-three acres which
the town disposes of.
Following the inspection of the park.
the party looked over the work that is
being done for the Omaha road near
Minneopa station. East of the station a
large arch is being built over Minneo-
pa creek. This arch will be $50 feet III
length and forty feet high. The CON
tract is in the hands of James Mcclure
of st. Paul His quarries, however, are
in Mankato. West of the station at a
considerable distance, there is much
work being done. Something like 49,
600 yards of earth will be moved. 1t
was quite sight for all to see the three
large elevating graders at work. They
are mechanical device which eXpedites
the movement of earth and are labor
savers. The improvements being made
on the line between Mankato and Min
neopa will necessitate the removal of
about half million yards of earth, at
cost of several hundred thousand dol
lars. A number of very bad curves will
be eliminated and this will enable trains
to run at higher rate of speed; also
more cars can be hauled in trains.

build a rustic depot at Minneopa, one
which will be in keeping with the new
