From SATURDAYS Daily
An unknown negro who claims his
home in New York City, was seriously
injured last evening while trying to 90
between the engine and mail ear of
''Omaha" train No. 9. 1t is believed
that he came to town on a freight train
that had arrived just few minutes be-
fore the passenger and in order to get
to his destination quicker was planning
on taking the blind baggage. just as
he was in the act of getting on the en-
CINE backed up, catching him in the
abdomen. In some way he made his
way to the Central police station. A
physician was called and is inclined to
believe that he has received internal in
'juries which may prove fatal to him.
At present he is resting at ST. Joseph's
hospital where he was taken last even.
ing soon after the accident.
The unfortunate man claims to be a
coal miner and wanted to get to the coal
fields of southern Iowa.

They have done with him. They were
strong in their criticism of Mr. Nc
Cleary's position as regards the tariff
and they found fault with him because
he made that one subject his hobby to
the exclusion of all other questions which
are taking up the attention of the pub
lie, and to which President Roosevelt
is devoting his energies with the hope
of bringing about reforms. These men
say that the president should have the
most hearty support in his endeavors to
curtail the movements and insidious
maneuverings of the trusts, and in Nc

STANDS WELL AT HOME.
Hon. Gilbert Guttersen q Favorite
Among His Neishbors.
From Saturdays Daily. r..-

From Saturdays Daily.
Probably the best test Of the worth
of a candidate for office is to be found
in the attitude of the public toward
him in the place in which he lives. 1t Is
an old saying that no one is prophet
in his own country. And when man
has been living in a certain community
all his life; when his life, both private
and public, has been. constantly scrut-
inized, and, as it were, laid bare before
the public gaze, there is no better way
to estimate him than to ask the ques-
ton: "What do his friends and neigh
bors think of him? How does he stand
in the community?" If the answer is
favorable, what his few enemies say
and it has been well said every man
worth anything must have enemies, and
that fools only do not have any-dOes
not amount to much, and can be traced
back to some secret source of foolish
luminosity.
One of the most gratifying features of
the career of Gilbert Guttersen, the re-
publican candidate for the congressional
nomination at the coming primaries, is
the fact that he is as popular at home
as with the outside people with whom
he has had but a passing or short ac-
quaintance. The favor with which he is
looked upon by his fellow townsmen has
been evidenced in a very fOrcible way by
the recent organization of the Guttersen
Republican club, Isl strong, in Lake
Crystal, the home town of the candidate
The members are all good republicans
and very enthusiastic in their campaign
work. This feature of the congressional
campaign in the second district is uni
que, and is probably the only instance OF
the kind in the state. 1t shows both
the strength and the popularity of Mr.
Guttersen, who has the confidence of the
people, because they know he is in sym
pathy with them, and will do his best
to look after their interests. Long live
the Guttersen Republican club.

ROAD MAKING
State Highway comarnisxion Make 9
Good Suggestions.


From Tuesday y Daily III, IS 30 p, 81 "a =
Bulletin No. l, issued by George w.
Cooley, engineer and secretary of tt
highway commission of st. Paul, con-
tains many valuable suggestions and
gives in detail instructions as to the
proper method of building substantial
roads in different kinds of soil at the
least expense. A set of ideal specific;l-
tons for public highway work are given,
with the explanation that the specifca-
lions are those used in Hennepin county
for several years past.
Mr.. Cooley gives the following rules
for the guidance of road overseers
throughout the state:
Keep all lines of drainage open.
Keep ruts and hollows out of the road
by continuous filling and dragging.
Keep stones, sod and all vegetable
matter off the road surface.
Fill all low places and holes with the
same material of which the road is built
See the culverts are in condition to
take care of the flowing water, cspec-
tally before freezing up time, and open
them up as early in the spring as pos
sible
Don't change your men and teams
around too much. They will give more
satisfaction if Kept at the same class of
work.
Keep weeds and brush away from the
sides of the road as much as possible,
and wherever the road is too much shad-
ed, especially If it is clay, trim the
trees up to height of eight feet above
the ground.
Never disturb government corner or
boundary monument without seeing that
it is re-established by some competent
surveyor and with the knowledge of the
adjacent proprietors. 1t Il their proper
ty even though it is in pubIic highway,
and you viii be liable for damages if
you disturb it without giving due no.

has a friendly feeling for organized cap

change in the sentiment of the residents
of this county toward the congressman
during the past two years.

tailed a lot of stuff which we have heard

Mr.. McCleary has recently made a
number of speeches in Faribault county.
One at Minnesota Lake, another at Wells,
likewise at Bricelyn and at Elmore.
Each one left trail of disguised and
disappointed voters. They heard nothing
new. The same old arguments were
used, the same old stories were told.
The speeches savored strongly of those
delivered by the congressman four and
two years ago Even the anecdotes
were of the same brand-the same old
chestnuts, hoary with age, dragged from
the schoolmaster's cold storage plant
in the hope of creating at least some
enthusiasm in his behalf. But they fell
fiat. Those few who listened to his
speeches are free to say that they did
not awaken an atom of interest in his
candidacy They were lifeless and de-
void of argument in favor of the po-
sition which Mr. McCleary persists in
maintaining relative to the tariff and
against the better Judgment of his thou
sands of constituents.
