BEWARE OF BEDBuG MAN.
Farmers Being Tricked BY Clever
Feather Renovator.

FTOHi MOHudy 5 Oally.
A dispatch from Wooster, Ohio, says:
Farmers near here report that they have
been victims of trick played on them
by man engaged in the business of
renovating feathers. They have reason
to believe that the man carried bedbugs
with him, which he would drop into pill
lows and ticks when opening the articles
to convince the women that the feathers
needed yrenovating. The farmers declare
that they had reason to suspect that the
man had worked the trained bedbug
scheme on the wives, and 'phoned to
neighbors to watch him when he call
ed at their homes. The men notified
were on the lookout, and when the fea
Their man thought they were not look
ing dropped half dozen bugs from his
hand into a pillow. The farmers con-
suited with Prosecuting Attorney Car
lin with reference to causing the renov
ator's Arrest, but were informed that he
knew of no law by which the feather
renovator could be punished.

that is Judge Plymat, who has reasons
of his own for not complying.
City Attorney Daley said that the
lpractice of the officials in other cities
is to get along the best they can, seek as
] little trouble as possible, and bring
things about automatically instead of
through prosecuting people who will
put up strong fights. People are easier
coaxed than driven.
The awning ordinance was passed
unanimously, but Aid. Mahowald said
| that he would not raise his awning I'M
til NJ. A. Sherk & Son comply with the
ordinance.
| 1t was stated that NJ. A. Sherk & Son
put mp their awning without permission
and that it can be torn down at any
time 1t is plenty high enough, but
made of metal.
| Chief Donahue reports 10 arrests
and 90 dodgers during February.
The resolution fixing the street
sprinkling district was passed as pub
lished.
AID Hampl suggested that two kinds
of bids be secured, one for doing the
sprinkling as heretofore and the other
for doing it, the city furnishing the
wagons.
A question arose whether this would
not conflict with the charter provision
specifying how the bids shall be receiv-
ed, and whether the cost of maintaining
the city sprinkling wagons could be as
sessed against the property.
Aid. Atchison said that he did not be-
lieve in the city owning the wagons, on
account of the expense There is a be-
lief on the part of some people that the
sprinkling costs too much, and for this
reason it is desirable to get the best pos
sible bids. He did not think that the
city is paying too much for sprinSling
He thought that the amount paid is
reasonable
Contractor Page was asked how many
teams he employs in sprinkling, and re-
piled that he employs six teams and gets
81 500 to $4,000 year.
Aid. Atchison said that there is good
deal of fault found because Mr.. Page
always gets the contract. There ought
to be some way to make more cOmpeti-
ton, in which case nobody could find
fault. Extra sprinkling is costing too
much
The matter was left without action
The matter of placing electrict lights
in the Dukes addition hose house was
referred to the lighting committee to re-
port at the next meeting, on motion of
Aid. Hampl.
President Porter said that the city
hall roof has sprung leak, and the
council instructed the committee on city
property to attend to the matter.
The bills were allowed, including
payroll of $23672, of which $l67.02 was
for streets.
Aid. Hampl reported that Windmiller
Bros. have the new city well down $50
feet. They are going down slowly but
surely, he said.

construction of the Duluth, st. Cloud
Glencoe and Mankatod road, has return
ed to Albert Lea from Chicago. In a
conversation with The Free Press, via
the long distance telephone line, Mr.
Tobie authorized the statement to be
published that the road has not been

kee or any other railway company, that
it is still in the hands of the individuals
who got control of it during the fore
part of January of this year, and these
gentlemen will build the line to Duluth
and that the work will be resumed as
soon as the frost is out of the ground.
Mr.. Tobe advised that no attention be
paid to wildcat rumors and reports OF
sale of the road All these false stories
were originated for a purpose.
Mr.. Tobie will remain in Albert Lea
for an indefinite period. He is prepar-
ing headquarters there and getting ready
for the work which is to be begun Just
as soon as the ground is in condition
for the graders. The road will be con-
structed by those who are interested in
the present company, and The Fere
Press is informed that no other railroad
company is back of the enterprise. di-

of the property after the road is COM
pleted is not a matter to be considered
at this stage of the proceedings.

BOLTED TO BRIDGE.
Gas Mains Will Not Be Carried Under
the River to North Mankato.

TOI1
A. l.. Bogart, president of the Power
Engineering company of Minneapolis,
stopped over in the city yesterday at
ternoon on his way home from the west,
and had a talk with the officials of the
Mankato Gas and Electric Light COM
pany in regard to the manner that it in
tends to take its gas pipes across the
Minnesota river into North Mankato.
The company has considered the plan OF
going under the river, but has aband-
oned that for the reason that the river
is so treacherous. 1t has been practi-
cally decided to bolt the pipe to the
Main street bridge, running it along the
edge of the walk. A four or six inch
pipe will be used for the purpose. In
some cities this pipe is run between the
walk for foot passengers and the drive
way. but when it is fastened to the out
err edge it is entirely out of the way.
The company hopes to start with at
least seventy five subscribers, in which
case it will make an outlay of $4,000 to
$4,000 in the extension of the mains.
North Mankato will be canvassed Tor
customers next week.

"The result will check the declining

FORMER RESIDENT DEAD.
Mrs. Annals C. Shaubut, Well known
to Older Residents is No More.


From Fridays Daily.
John N. Hall has received word of
the death of Mrs. Anna c. Shaubut, wife
of the late John j. Shaubut, which oc.
Cured at Anaheim, Cal, Feb. oath. Her
death occurred at the residence of her
daughter, Mrs. j. H. Enearl, and follow
ed an illness of four or five weeks.
While there was a complication of dis
eases, it is thought that the immediate
couse was heart trouble.
Mrs. Shaubut formerly lived in Man
kato, and was well known in this city
and vicinity. She moved to California
in 1893. She was daughter of MIR. and
Wabash county, Ind, and there was
married to Mr. Shaubut Oct. Bird, lS47.
In the fall of 1856 they moved to Man
kato, where for twenty-five years Mr..
Shaubnt was engaged in the mercantile
business and was one of the prominent
men of the city. Mr.. Shaubut was a
trustee and contributed literally to the
erection of the first Presbyterian church,
and Mrs. Shaubut was an active member
of the church. Eight children were born
to them, all of whom are living: Emma,
wife of Eugene Banks, and John c.
Shaubut, both of Deerlodge, Mont; Ella,
wife of A. w. Watson of Minneapolis;
Elizabeth, wife of j. HI. Enearl of Ana
helm, CAL; Eva, wife of j. E. Craig of
Pipestone, Mimi; Bertha, wife of ii. w.
Comstock of Anaheim, CAL; Katie, wife
of Hugh Grice of Belgrade, Mimi; and
Guy w. Shaubut of Deerlodge, Mont.
Mrs. Shaubut was active in society
and church work, a contributor of her
time and money, and she had large
circle of warm friends who will regret
her death.
The remains were cremated at Los
Angeles, CAL, yesterday, and will be
brought to Mankato for interment,
probably arriving the first of next week.
Further announcement will be made con-
corning their disposition.

the same. months this year the same sum
was received.
This would seem to indicate that
Mayor Jones' Sunday closing order has
not been so disastrous as the saloon
men predicted and there has not yet
been any great stampede to surrender
licenses.
Because of Judge John Day Smiths

given in one school for each township,
and in cold and stormy weather it was
very difficult for those living farthest
away to be present. Supt. Ulvin has
changed the method and gives the exam
nations in all the schools. This change
is greatly appreciated by the teachers
and pupils, as it enables all who wish
to write to be present. After the ex-
animation, the teachers read and mark
the papers. and those standing IS per-
cent and above, are sent in. Upon the
receipt of the returns, the county super
intendent carefully reads and marks the
papers again, and issues certificates and
diplomas to those who pass.
These examinations will be given
twice year, in Feb. and May. Mr..
Ulvin states that it is his intention to
make them rigid, so that the pupils in
passing will be well qualified to do the
work in the schools they enter.
Following are the names of those who
received diplomas:
