cupied a large part of the Waikiki side
from the Punahou and Kamehameha

young people paid perfect attention
throughout the address is something to
be commended, as well as a splendid
tribute to the powers of the speaker of
the evening.
After the organ prelude the hymn,
Guide Me, O! Thou Great Jehovah"

THE ADDRESS.

President Horne IS an excellent
speaker and was at his best last night
His address was not howery and ora
torical, but contained a world of COM
mon sense. being well suited to his
audience. 1t was a practical talk, yet
the speaker painted several word pic
lures that were very eloquent. He
began by speaking of the tremendous
possibilities that lay in the audience
before him and spoke of the great
achievements of Island men and of
young men and women everywhere.
Marconi and other great inventors were
young men when they made their
greatest discoveries. Young men are
fighting the present war in the East
and it was men between the ages of
Is and 25 who bore the brunt of the
war of the rebellion. Continuing, he
said in part:
young men are needed to fight the
battles of everyday life. The world is
developing rapidly, things that are new

KICKED; MUST PAY FOR BEER
ST. Paul School Professor Claimed
Short Measures; No Go.

st. Paul, Oct. l7.-Prof. Frank w
Berger of the st. Paul Central high
school, must pay for the beer he drinks
and must take the company's word
that he is getting full measure. So de-
cided Justice Mills at st. Paul Satur,
day.
Between December, 1904, and April
1905, the man of learning consumed
fiftyfour cases of the amber fluid at
his home on Knapp avenue, st. An
thony Park.
When the Anheuser- Busch company
presented bill for $69.SO, Prof Berger
sent a check for $500, stating that
the pint bottles he received did not
contain pint and that he had paid for
all he drank.
The company brought suit and Prof.
Berger went to court with beer bot
tie in one hand and pint measure
in the other. He tried to show the
court that the pint bottles did not con-
tain pint, but the judge took the COM
pany's word for it and entered up iudg-
ment for $1,000 against the professor,
who will appeal to the municipal court.

IOBlE LOOKS OVER SITUATION
Thinks Cars Will Be Running Into
Mankato BY July 1st.

From TUESDAY Daily.
e. L. Tobie, general contractor of the
."Alphabat" road, arrived in the city Fri
day afternoon and at once got busy
looking over the situation as to how rap
idly the grading is being done and the
general condition of the work. 1t is eX
pected he will push the work even fast
er than has been the case the past two
months that grading has been going on
and that the work of laying the track
will be commenced as soon as the bed
is ready to Freedom, and that would
give an opportunity for carrying sup
plies for the road and develop some bus
mess for the company operating the line.
The last visit of Messrs. Reed and
Bruels here indicated that they were
more confident than ever that the road
will be pushed through to Mankato at
an early day next spring. The cars
should be running between this city and
Mankato over the new line as early as
July first, and probably month or two
earlier.-Albert Lea Tribune.

STRUCK BY G. W. TRAIN.
Mother and Son Killed at Inver Grove
Station Yesterday.

From thursdays Daily.
Mrs. Benjamin Pettingil and her son
David, sixteen years of age, were run
down by the Chicago Great Western
passenger train which left Mankato at
6:2O yesterday morning. The accident
occurred near the Inver Grove depot at
ten o'clock and both were killed instant
ly.
The Pettingills live OH a farm a few
miles out from Inver Grove, and mother
and son were walking along the railroad
tracks toward the town. They saw q
Rock Island train approaching and stood
still in the center of the adjoining
tracks, evidently waiting for it to pass.
The Chicago Great Western train, head
ed for st. Paul, was approaching be-
hind. Engineer H. Hall says that he
whistled a warning to them, but that
they did not appear to hear it.
Thinking that they would leave the
track the engineer did not stop the
train. 1t got SO close to the couple that
it was then impossible to stop, and
mother and son were struck simultan-
eously by the engine. They were hurl
ed twenty feet to the south of the
tracks. Their bodies were badly mutt
lated. Coroner Kramer viewed the re-
mains and decided that further investi-
cation was unnecessary.
Mrs. Pettingill was forty-one years
old. She is survived by husband and
four children.

NOTICE GIVEN.
Northwestern Telephone Company
Must Move Its Poles and Wires.

MUST Move us fOleS anu WHITES.
From Tuesdays Daily.
The North Mankato council held a
special meeting Saturday evening and
passed a resolution to notify the North
western Telephone company to remove
its poles and wires from the entire
length of Belgrade avenue to the alley
Just north of the avenue. The company
has three months in which to make the
change under its franchise. There was
no appearance for the company, and it
is said that it is willing tn comply with
the order 1t intends to make some i'm
provements to the line in North Manka-
to, and the council thought that it
would be an opportune time to have the
poles and wires moved before these are
made, so as not to put the company to
unnecessary expense later on.
The council voted to let the North
Mankato Ladies' Relief society have the
use of the village hall early in Novem-
Der for bazaar, that will be given for
the purpose of raising funds to care for
the poor during the winter.

MURPHYS COMING
Farmers Begin Marketing their
Potato Crop.
Steady Price Predicted by the
Local Dealers.
Big Loss in Northern Minnesota
Through Blight.
Shortage in the Crop all Over
The Country Reported.
From Wednesdays Daily.

From Wednesdays Daily.
The potato season has opened, and
every pleasant day sees numerous
wagon loads of the tubers coming to the
city to be marketed. The price is be-
ing maintained pretty well. forty cents
being the average, but few loads
going at thirty-fve cents, and as high
as fortyfve cents being demanded for
extra fine patotaes. However, house
holders have had no difficulty in getting
the best of the crop for forty cents.
Dealers predict that this price is likely
to be maintained all the fall. The crop
in this section is very good
Minnesota's potato crop in the north
western portion of the state will only
be one quarter of the average yield; and
the crop in the northeastern section OF
the state will be one-third below the
usual output.
So asserts William Zimmerman, for
merly resident of st. Paul. but now
connected with the Chicago Packer, and
for which paper he has just completed
a tour of the northwest potato districts,
sizing up the fall supply.
within seventy-five miles of Min
neapolis," said Mr.. Zimmerman today,
sis located the greatest potato district
in the whole country. / refer to that
district along the lines of roads between
Minneapolis and Duluth. Every fall
on the average this section will send
out 10000 cars of fine potatoes.
This season, however, the crop will
be fully third less than usual, re-
suit of blight, being caused by excessive
rains. In the Red River valley, the
potato crop is worse off yet. There the
crop is not over quarter of the usual
average. Blight is getting to be serious
thing for the Minnesota potato crop.
Two years ago it was unknown in the
state. IhlS year 1t has worked great
havoc.
''In Wisconsin, which is also a great
state for potatoes, the potato sections
being scattered over it, blight has de-
stroyed half the crop.
"All over the country the story is the
same, as far as the potato crop is con-
cerned; blight has destroyed much of it.
Minnesota farmers are now receiving %
to 80 cents for potatoes. This is because
they are rushing to market to sell a
grade which needs to be used at once
and will not do for storage purposes.
"Soon, however, the general shortness
of the crop will begin to boost the
price. / look to see farmers getting 60
to IS cents bushel for good stock, and
before the winter is over | believe pO-
tatoes will be easily bringing 81
bushcl in the twin cities"
