NO REASON FOR LEAVING.
Will Lindquist Had Happy Home
Near Lamberton.

NCdT IesiiIOSTtOU.
From Thursdays Daily
John Lindquist, a farmer, living six
miles notheast of Lamberton, was in
the city last evening searching for his
eighteen year old son, Will Lindquist,
who left his home early Saturday
morning, and, the father thinks, came to
Mankato. Why the boy left home is
mystery. His parents are well-to-
do and the boy has always been kindly
treated and has always been on good
terms with the rest of the family. He
has always had all he wished at home
and it can be nothing else than a row.
ing disposition that could induce him
to strike out, as he did, under cover of
darkness for parts unknown.
Mr.. Lindquist showed photograph of
his son, who is very nice looking boy.
He has dark hair and blue eyes. When
he left home he took with him three
suits of clothes, one gray and one dark
blue; also two caps, one gray and the
other dark; and violin and case. Sew
eral parties last evening told Mr.. Lind
quist that they had noticed a young
man on the street in Mankato CORES
ponding to the boys description. The
boy had about SIS in his pocket when.
he left.

PEQUOT SPEAKERS.
Present and Former Mankato Resi-
dents Do Some Talking.

from Monuay Dally
Another meeting of the Pequot Lit
erary society was held at the Pequot
Hotel Monday evening and an i'm
promptu program was rendered. Not
having had time to plead the case at the
mock trial February 27, the attorneys,
Fred Moore and W. H. Byvank, took up
the evidence and argued the case, each
having fifteen minutes to make his
plea. As the verdict had been render
ed by the jury at the night of the
trial no desicion was again rendered.
After these pleas the meeting was
thrown open to impromptu addresses,
to which many responded Among those
who made addresses was Attorney H..
L. Schmitt of Mankato, who happened
to be there on business. Mr.. Schmitt
made some very encouraging remarks
and was listened to very attentively.
He spoke of the advantages of a liter
airy society to a community. He also
spoke of the dangers of people getting
into rut and remaining there and re-
ferred to literary society of this
kind as means of getting out of
these old ruts and adopting new and
advanced ideas and methods. After his
address, "The rut" seemed to be the
subject for discussion and the balance
of the evening was spent in addresses
and stories by president, w. R. Tanner.
Rev. Marde, DIR. English, F. A. Tanner
and others. REGULATIONS were also given
by Luvern English and Miss Mae Eng
fish. About forty were present and on
whole very pleasant and profitable
evening was spent. The next meeting
of the society will be held next Monday
evening, when something new will be
arranged by the committee.

Matters.

Commissioners Act on a Variety OF
Matters.
From Thursdays Daily.
The county board expects to complete
its work this afternoon and adjourn.
Yesterday afternoon it selected the Jury
list for the June term of the district
court, and granted saloon license to
J. +. Wilcott of st. Clair.
This forenoon the committee appoint
ed to view the Good Thunder bridge pre-
scented a report recommending that the

approaches and renewing the woodwork
using steel when possible.
A letter was received from DR.. Rein.
exc of New Ulm relative to a child of
John Swenson, who has a bad injury to
an eye and whose parents are very poor.
The Brown county authorities claim
that the family belongs in this county,
near the line, and that the expense of
treatment should be borne by this
county. the auditor was authorized to
advise DR.. Reineke that this county
could not assume the responsibility.
The continuation of the $4,000 bond
of the National Bank of Commerce was
approved.

Too Many "Smart' Boys.

Two young boys were brought before
Judge Window of the Duluth municipal
court on a charge of disturbing the
peace. They had been making them
selves obnoxious at public dance. At
ter assessing the offenders a fine, the
Judge remarked
"These boys think it is smart, that's
ALL / can see they are going the pace
that leads to the penitentiary, and some
day they will get their long sentence"
The chief of police of Duluth made
the statement that one of the lads, nine
teen years old, had been under arrest
seven times. The chances of reforming
this young fellow do not appear to be
bright. Any boy of nineteen who has
such a record is not uikely to be re-
ceived with confidence by employers
who are seeking the services of boys
whom they wish to train up into bust
ness men.
It's pity that we have in this coun-
try so many boys who think it is
"smart" to be tough. Little these
youngsters know of the disgraceful fin
ish which awaits them if they keep up
their wild and useless careers. But the
>regrettable thing Of it all is that the
public must be bothered by this class
of bad youngsters until some crime
they have committed lands them behind
prison bars.
There is duty devolving on parents
to guide their boys along the right path
that one which leads to honor and re-
spectability; crime should be made
hideous in their sight. Do parents coun-
sci with their boys and girls and point
out to them the shoals in life's journey?
Is the nome circle made the pleasant
and inviting place that it should be in
order to keep the young from spending
their leisure moments on the streets or
in places which will not bear the light
of inspection? There should be an
awakening among parents to the end
that the youths of the land snail be bet
ter trained in morals and that their
lives shall be made purer.

TEACHERS WILL NOT MERGE
Effort to Bring About This Fails at
Owatonna.

Owatonna, March l3-There will be
no merger of the South Central Teach
ers' association, which was urged by
the latter before the convention of the
former here Saturday. The opposition
was so overwhelming that the matter
was not brought to a vote. The South
Central association elected Edgar
George of Mortified president, Miss
Streeter of Austin secretary and HI. G.,
Blanch of Kenyon treasurer. The next
meeting will be held at Mortified.
Over 400 teachers attended the sessions
Saturday and listened to an address by
c. H. Cooper, president of the Mankato
normal.

Engaged people should remember, that
after marriage, many quarrels can be
avoided by keeping their digestions in

with torpid liver, until she lost her

Dignity of Honest Toll

A few days ago The Free Press con-
tanned this paragraph:
1.-THE Chicago Record Herald declares
that the president of the United States
should receive a salary sufficient to
keep him in dignifed retirement in af-
ter life. As this is country of sup
posed democratic simplicity we do not
know as it would mar the dignity of a
retired president if he were to work for
living"
The La Crosse Morning Chronicle adds
its comment in the following forceful
language:
"Truthfully spoken. We hear a great
deal of the dignity of honest toll; or,
rather, we used to hear it; but some
how or another there appears to be
creeping in, usually through some such
aid, the old-fashioned European belief in
the responsibility gained by wealth, and
this is what is disgusting so many peo-
pie and making corporation baiters, pop
ulists, and even anarchists of them. The
same people who would retire a presi-
dent with fortune would tell the man
who wrote the article in The Record
Herald to go to work and earn an hon
est living and be respectable if he ask
ed for something to live on in his old
age, because perhaps, ne could show that
he had written miles and miles of good
advice to the youth of the land, or be-
cause he had saved his city or the state
from the rapacity of boodlers.
mo, if the president cannot save
enough out of his salary of $4,000 a
year to buy a respectable home and to
put him in easy circumstances, then let
him go to work like a manor 90 fish.
ing la Cleveland"
The Free Press might add that the
raising of salaries of those who hold
high places in the government is per-
nicious in the extreme There was a
time in this country when the presi-
dent, his cabinet officers and those hold
ing responsible positions in governmental
circles were content to live plainly and
entertain in homely fashion. 1t was the
boast then that this was a country of
simplicity, where one man was as good
as another. But in late years too many
of our government officials are given
over to the desire to ape the styles and
customs of the royal households of Eu-
rope, which is repugnant to the tastes
of the common people of this great
country. Would it not be better for
all concerned to get down to the earth
and live sensibly! Let the royal families
keep up their gaudy display of tinsel
and glamor, but let the American peo-
pie remember always that we are not
living in country of castles and dis
sipated and debauched nobility. We of
the United States should abhor the prac-

Prof. U. o. Cox rendered Position in
Terre Haute Normal.
From Thursdays Daily.

Prof. Ulysses o. Cox, instructor in
biology at the Mankato normal, has re-
ceived an offer to teach botany and ZOO
logy in the normal school at Terre
Haute, Ind. As the latter position
opens a much broader field of opportuni-
ty, the professor is very likely to accept
the same. Prof. Cox has many friends
in Mankato and vicinity, who will re-
greet very much to see him go, and the
normal school will certainly lose an
excellent man.
