LIKES TO HAVE THE CHILDREN
ABOUT HIM.
Col Dillingham; Drives with Carriage
Loaded With Young Ones-Plant
Juice Medicine Accomplishing
Maryels Daily.

Col. Frank A. Dillingham;, the
millionaire, lecturer and advertise
er who is Introducing in this
state Plant Juice Remedies, the
remedy that has made him the
fortune he possesses, and is now
being sold in this section in enor-
nous quantities by this unusual
young man, who is probably the
most unique character that has
visited the state for many long
day. His reputation for philan-
thropy is being upheld, as he has
already disbursed in the south
several thousand dollars for char
tiles of different sorts. One of
his chief characteristics is his
fondness for children, and he is
always surrounded wherever he
goes by a crowd ofadoring young
ones, who listen breathlessly to
every word he utters. His fav-
orite form of amusement is to
take a crowd of children for a
drive in his handsome victoria,
and listen to their happy prattle.
Last week he took six little girls
with him during his evening pa
rade. and, judging from his ex-
preston, enjoyed the trip even
more than the children, as his
face was wreathed in smiles.
Mr.. Dillingham; can well afford
to smile these days, as his rene
dies are enjoying the most stu
pendous sale ever witnessed on
any article of this sort in this vi
cinity. Thousands and thous-
ands of bottles of Plant Juice
have been sold in this state under
Col. Dillingham's guarantee to
refund every penny spent with
him if his remedies fail to benefit,
and as yet there is no instance
where a purchaser has requested
the return of his money.
The results accom- plished by
this peculiar remedy, which
seems almost to perform mira
cles, are truly remarkable. Min
g1ed with other callers at the diff
ferent drug stores. and among
thousands who write Col. Dilling-
ham are many people with the
sole intention of thanking Col.
Dillingham; for the benefit they
have received. Among those
who wrote recently Mr.. Jasper
Kelley said: II have had rheu-
matism for long time, and have
not been able to find anything
that seemed to help me-. Iheard
so much OF what this Plant Juice
medicine was doing for sick peo-
pie that bought a bottle of it
about a week ago. I have taken
it since then and feel greatly ben
flied. My rheumatism has all
but left me. l feel better than I
have for years." Billie Moore
was another writer who thanked
the advertiser. He said upon
writing Col. Dillingham;: Col.
Dillingham;, cannot thank you
enough for what your Plant Juice
remedies has done for me. I
have had catarrh of the head and
stomach for years, and had des-
paired of getting rid of it. l have
tried everything, and nothing
seemed to benefit me. l bought
bottle of your medicine for ST.,
and have only taken part of it,
and almost from the first dose
felt an improvement in my con-
dition, and now seem perfectly
we'll, am more than grateful to
you, as l have not felt so well for
years."
N. J. Austin said: THAT is
the most wonderful medicine I
have ever heard of. One week

He Declares That Council Is Making
Practice of Granting Special
Privileges TO Individuals.

Recorder Hodapp writes letter to
the council as follows:

GUS hostile toward your honorable
body; but much as | personally regret
this, in my official capacity feel it my
duty to again come before you in a
mood of opposition. When l held up the
Liberty street water extension, the act
was generally approved. Even the alder
men expressed their satisfaction, and
now the council does the same thing
again by ordering the extension to the
Bierbauer brewery (Which is virtually
the same proposition). But this does
not change my conviction that we have

peoples money further than n specific

is hydrant within one block. If more
protection is desired for the sake of con
venience or reduction of insurance: the

the city laid the mains nearly one-half
the distance for their THE Bierbauer's)

ing heavy customers. Now the price re-

it is evident that the city has no adj

that the practice of giving special privi

for individuals to insist in demanding

PORTER is INDIGNANT
He WRITES A LETTER TO BARBER
JOSEPH LORENTZ.
He Strongly Denies That He Had Any
thing to Do With the Kid
mapping Case.

From Mondays Daily.
There are no developments leading to
the discovery of the person who kid
mapped Mr.. Kuscke's little boy. The man
who did it is still at liberty, and some
think that he is far from Mankato by
this time. 1t was supposed yesterday
afternoon by Mr.. Kuscke that a man
whom he saw pass on Boad street
the police. Chief Donahue and Officer
Klughertz found the man, who turned
out to be a member of threshing crew
spending Sunday in the city. The Brew
er boy at once said that he was not the
man, and the Kuscke lad also thought
that it was not.
w. III. Porter was taken into custody
Saturday evening at Morris, MINI. by the
sheriff there, who acted upon a request
from Sheriff Williams. Mr.. Williams
had written asking that Porter be held
until more could be learned about the

telephone message from the sheriff at
Morris Saturday evening to the effect that
Porter was being held, he replied that
the man could be released, as he was not
wanted.
This morning Joseph Lorentz, the bar
Der, received the following letter from
Porter:
Morris, Mimi, Oct. Z, l905.-Friend
Barber; Mankato: Excuse me for ad-
dressing you this way, but 1 didn't re-
member your name. l was arrested here
tonight by order of your sheriff for the
your city last Thursday night and all
this trouble comes about on account of
your little boy being seen in my COM
pany when I took him out for a walk
and then returned with him in company
of my wife. l wish you would please
explain my taking such a fancy to your
boy, also tell the sheriff of the great
mistake he is making in hurting me
and my business by such an action. I
am accused of such dirty, low down,
contemplate crime that / regard as the
lowest on the calendar of crimes. Wife
and self left your city for St. Paul
early Friday morning, as / told you we
were going on Thursday evening, when
| and wife returned with TOotsie Bless
his little heart. l am glad it was not
him that got into the hands of that
tramp outcast So please see the sheriff
at once and explain that it was
Tootsie that the people saw in my
company Thursday evening. Do this at
once and oblige. I will write you later
or come to your city soon again. Very

LOCAT on CHANGED.
City Well to Be Put Down at Second
and Washington.

From Tuesdays Daily.
Mayor Taylor called the aldermen to-
gether informally last evening to dis
cuss the location of the new well. All
were present except Aid. Heinze, and two
members of the board of public works
were also on hand.
1t was thought that the well had
been located Saturday, when it was
agreed to place it block or so north of
the pumping station. When this action
became known, it appears that the Of
ficials of the knitting mill and gas and
electric light plant feared that the loca-
ton of the well there might lessen the
pressure upon their wells, and they ask
ed some of the aldermen to change the
location. The meeting last night was
the result.
After some discussion as to the best
place, and so as not to get it too near
the present city wells, to lessen the pres

it close to the curb on the northwesterly
corner of Second and Washington
streets. This is two blocks east of the
wells at the pumping station, and one
block west of the Broad street well. In
most respects this location is superior to
the one chosen Saturday. If the latter
had been allowed to stand ten inch
pipe would have had to be laid from
it to the pumping station, at some ex-
pense. The twelve inch pipe from the
Broad street well to the pumping sta
ton runs by the new location selected,
and all that will be necessary will be to
put in I.
Windmiller Bros. moved their well
digging machinery to the site selected
today and will begin work at once.

HammerIess Gun Discharges;

Riqht Breast and Shoulder Cut
and Lacerated.
Doubt as to His Recovery;
Most Distressing Affair.

From Mondays Daily.
Norman Tweed, a farmer living IN
Butternut, was accidentally shot yes
terday afternoon while out hunting. He
was seated on the shore of Solberg lake,
not great distance from his farm when
Ole Osten rowed toward him in a small
boat, Osten picked up hammerless gun,
and it discharged suddenly, the contents
passing through one side of the boat
and striking Tweed in the right breast
and shoulder and cutting hole in the
right side of his face. Had it not been
for the fact that the charge passed
through the boat, Tweed would have
been instantly killed. As it is he is very
dangerously injured and his recocery is
doubtful.
Mr. Tweed is a married man, thirty
FIVE years old. Mr.. Osten is a brother
of the deputy sheriff.
The distressing accident occurred few
minutes before two o'clock. No blame
is attached to Mr. Osten.
