GENERAL CHILD'S PAY.
His Bill For Second Trial Must Go ri.
rectIy to Brown County.
From Mondays Daily.

FROM Monday Daily.
County Auditor Weaver received a
letter last week, from Louis G. VOgel,
auditor of Brown county, in which the
writer said that by order of the court
of Brown county General Childs was APP
pointed as county attorney in the case
against Koch Two days later, Audi
tor Vogel wrote: 'In regard to the bill
of General Childs, l believe that it will
be necessary for him to present his
bill to your county, that is, provided,
however, if he was appointed by Judge
Cray to act as county attorney of Blue
Earth county,"
As General Childs was not appointed
by Judge Cray to prosecute the case
it is not known whether this means that
an effort will be made to hold up his
pay for the second trial. Auditor Wea-
yer does not intend to pay it, so the
bill will have to go directly before the
commissioners of Brown county for ac-
Ition, the same as his bill for the first
| trial.
| Judge Cray was shown the letters this
Afternoon by Mr.. Weaver, and said that
the appointment made in the first in
stance, for the first trial, holds good.
| The fact that there have been two mis-
trials do not affect the appointment, for
Gen. Childs was appointed to prosecute
the case and his duty is still devolvent
upon him.

tyfive years old had she lived until
June 9Th. She was daughter of Mr.

lady of amiable disposition and pleas
ant manner, wnom all who knew de,
lighted to associate with. Her home
was happy one, and she was loving

SiIverWare and Jewelry Are
Carried Away.
No Clue Left Behind by the
Sneak Thieves.
Strangers Who Acted Queerly
Are Suspected.

From Mondays Daily.
Several bold cases of house breaking
have recently occurred in this city, but
with the hope of being able to ferrit out
the perpetrators the matter has been
kept still. At least four houses of
prominent residents have been entered,
and in each case something was taken.
At the home of Dr. A. O. Bjelland on
South Second street a diamond ring
and watch We're stolen. At the resi-
dences of w. L. Young, on Clark street,
some solid silver tea spoons and some
souvenir spoons were taken. At the
residence of C.. n Andrews, on Parsons
street, an otter coat belonging to Mrs.
Andrews and dozen solid silver spoons
were taken. At the home of K. ID. Hub
bard, on South Broad street, SD in
money was stolen.
The police were notified of the diff
ferent robberies, but have been unable
to locate either the thieves or the stol-
en- property. They have formed a pref
ty definite idea as to who did the work.
1t appears that two strangers took a
room on South Broad street for a week
during the excitement of the KOcn
trial, and their strange actions excited
suspicious. They remained in their
room day times, and claimed to be there
nights, but it is now thought that they
were out nights providing about. An
other roomer, arising to catch an early
train ran into one of the parties coming
up the front steps with his shoes in his
hands The parties left that morning
and nothing has been heard of them
since. They carried heavy dress suit
cases. Chief Donahue is now confident
that they are the parties who commit
ted the robberies. He believes that they
are professionals.
1t was noticeable that in each case
the box or channels skin containing the
silverware was put. back in its place,
and tine robberies were generally not
discovered until. house cleaning was
DONE The men were gone before the
police had sufficient suspicion to hold
them tf.5'

HICKS ON JUNE WEATHER.
What He Looks For During the First
Summer Month.


From Mondays Daily.
Prof. Hicks, the first storm period for
June is central on the third. fourth and
fifth days of the month. On and touch
ing the third we may look for change to
much warmer, and rain and thunder
storms, beginning in the west, will pass
eastward across the country on the
third, fourth and fifth. Rising barome-
ter and cooler weather will follow the
storms.
The second storm period covers the
eighth to twelfth, being central ON the
ninth. We predict that many electrical
storms and heavy rainfalls will appear
at this time, but that they will cover
comparatively narrow localities, leav-
ing wide areas of the country with only
moderate results. Tornadoes are entire
ly probable at this and other June per-
iods.
The third storm period is central on
June l4th to 18th. The electrical strain
of earth's summer solstice will be felt in
frequent and general displays of light
ming all through this part of June. A
crisis of such phenomena will fall about
Thursday, the 18th, to Saturday, the
18th. Black, ominous clouds, drencning
downpours of rain and violent thunder
and wind will visit many places at this
time. Reaction to higher barometer and
cooler, clearing weather will follow
these storms.
The fourth storm period which is
central on June 2lst, is put down as a
crisis of electrical summer storms. If
the barometer falls to very low read
ings-a thing to be apprehended at this
time-viOlent tornado storms are quite
probably in central and western states.
1t should be known to all that the
greater part of the vivid and general
lightning, at such times in June, is alb
solutely harmless and indicates no APP
preaching danger, except in cases where
the barometer is very low, and com
pact, well-defined storm cloud is NOV.
ing up from western and southwest
ern directions. The lightning and thun-
der from a big dense, rushing June
cloud, means a very different thing
from the constant flashes that illumin-
ate every point on the horizon, from
banks of floating, passive clouds, in the
June evenings and nights. On and
about June 24tn will eliminate a SER
les of characteristic June thunder
storms. Cooler weather will follow.
The last storm period of June is on
the Goth, 9th and 28th. There will be
heavy rain and thunder storms in many
parts of the country and dryness in
northern. southern and western ex-
tremes.

numerous to make their appreciation
and full of meaning, was the
audience that assembled last evening in
the Presbyterian church to listen to the
second concert given by the Mendelssohn
society, Haydn's oratorio. "The Crea-
tiOn.' the chancel had been extended
to make room for the wonderful force
of singers, certainly not less than eighty
voices in all, mostly residents of the
city, yet quite largely recruited from
the normal school, together with the
special solo talent engaged for the oc-
casion, consisting of Miss Helen Buck
ley, Chicago, soprano; Mr.. Alfred Wiley

in its entirety on the programs, which
were distributed among the people. The
Biblical account of the coming into be-

at intervals between the poetical pas
saoes. The full beauty of the rendition
can be appreciated only by those who
were there, and of those none but the
truly musical knew the fullness of the
delight that the concert gave.
