son Case.

E. j. Whipple and G. w. Johnson

lating the state medical law by practic-
ing without a license, had their first
pleasant experience in several weeks

plaintiff in the case. Miller & Wolfe. at
torHeys, were defendants, they having
secured the trunks on an attachment for
legal counsel furnished the chiropractors
Langley afterwards came to the city and
paid $40 for his brother in law, it was
testified during the hearing. Still the
attorneys held the trunks, claiming that
more money was owing them. The de-
cision returning the trunks to the own
ers is victory for the chiropractors,
the first pleasant thing that has happen

PARKERS ATTRACTIONS.
Kansas Newspaper Speaks Highly Of
the Big Shows.

From Tuesdays Daly.
The Salina, Kansas, Daily Journal has
the following to say of the Parker
amusements:
The attractions furnished by the Great
Parker Amusement company have been
pleasing in every detail. The company
has furnished the best and cleanest line
of entertainment seen in the city for
years, and the very best that could have
been secured for such an undertaking.
The Parker shows are of the kind that
can be commended by all, and the con
duct of the management OF the great
combination here this week has serv-
ed to make the festival greater sue
cess than was hoped for. The order on
the grounds has been perfect. There has
been no sign of the rowdy, and intoXi-
eating liquors of any kind has not been
allowed on the ground. In this regard
the Parker combination il the most
remarkable show travelling. 1t appeals
to the recent element of the people, and
here in Salna not an unclean or un-
questionable thing has been tolerated.
|, 1t is only fair to say of the Great
Amusement company that it has more
than met the expectations of the public.
The department of the men connected
with it from the manager down to the
humblest laborer has been such as to
win the respect of the people here, and
make the show the most popular that
ever visited the city. Added to this is
the fact that none of his attractions
have been disappointing. They exceed
the expectations and are better than add
yertised.
The show that can leave a city after il
weeks engagement with the feeling that
the Parker show is leaving in Salina,
explains the wonderful success that has
followed Charles w. Parker in his en-
terprises and has made him one of the
greatest. if not the king of amusement
enterprises, in this country.

SPECIAL TRAINING NEEDED.
Difficult Feats Performed BY the EIe-
plants With Haeenbeck's.

From Saturdays Daily.
For the difficult feats which they per-
form, the elephants of the Hagenbeck
circus are put through a special course of
ph.Nical training for their trainor, Reu-
ben Schubert, remarks:
AN elephant, when first taken into
captivity and turned over to the train
ers in the Carl Hagenbeck permanent
quarters t~Stellegen, Germany, may be
big and strong, possessed of sufficient
power to tear hole in a brick building,
yet he is unable TO stand on his hind
legs or balance himself on his head.
Even if he knew just what we wanted
him to do and he tried ever SO hard to
accomplish it, he would fail until he
went through il course of our physical
culture training.
''Thc sinews and the muscles of his
neck and his trunk, forelegs, hindlegs
and thighs must first be developed, and
he is trained similar to a prizefighter or
Il college athlete These sinews and
muscles are built up gradually. First
the elephant is placed i'll sling and, by
means of tackle, is drawn off the
ground. Then he is let down until only
his forefeet touch terra firma.
'The method is then reversed and the
hind quarters are allowed to rest on
the ground Daily. this training is in
vogue, and daily the elephant is made
to rely more on his legs than on the
swing. This method serves to build up
the muscles The Hagenback circus
will show in Mankato on July 4th.

CUMMINGS WINS OUT.
Action In St. Paul Court Decided In
His Favor.

Especial to The Free Press.l
st. Paul, June 22.-The jury in the
Cummings vs.. Edwards Wood company
case brought in "a verdict this morning
for the plaintiff. Cummings is given
damages of $6,45S.33. He sued for $50,
600 damages alleged to have been done
his business by false representations by
the defendant. Shortly after four
O'Clock yesterday afternoon, the case
went to the jury after Pierce Butler had
spoken for the plaintiff and Judge Bum
delivered Il clear and comprehensive
charge. MIR. Butler paid Il tribute to the
business honor and capacity of Mr. Cum
mings, whom he said had made his way
in the world unaided and alone and had
earned the respect and confidence of ev-
erybody who knew him.
Judge Bum said this case was one of
the most peculiar he ever tried, the COM
plant embracing libel, SANDER and NAL
icious prosecution. He said the proof
was overwhelming that the defendants
instigated the various law suits against
the plaintiff and it must also be conced-
ed that for the most part there was no
justification whatever for the libels
printed of and concerning the plaintiff
The justification must be as broad as
be found, general, special and punitive
or exemplary damages. The court i'll
structed the jury that the articles were
libelous and without foundation. The
verdict must be for the plaintiff in some
amount. If the jury found that plain
tiff was conducting an illegal business
the latter was not entitled to recover
any special damages.

HALF A MILLION A MONTH.
That Is Said to Be Amount Packers
Are Losing.

Washington, June 23.-The recent
statement of the Chicago packers that
the agitation against the condition of
their plants andt their methods of pre-
pairing food products had greatly chang
ed their foreign trade, is fully borne
out by the official statistics compiled by
the department of commerce and labor.
In January, before the revelations in
'The Jungle" gained very wide publ
city, the expectations of canned beef
abroad showed an increase of 2,00O,-
900 pounds over those of the correspond
ing month last year.
In February the efforts of the pub
LEGATION first began to be felt abroad
and the department. figures show Il fall
ing Off in canned beef exports of over
100000 pounds as compared with Feb
ruary, 1905.
In March the figures show decrease
to less than. half the amount for the
canned beef sent abroad i'll March of
last year amounted. to ll,574, 44O pounds,
and this year to 4,643,446 pounds.
In cash this month alone represents
Il loss to the packers of half million
dollars. April's figures show decrease
from March of half million pounds.

Company Should Now Be Given
Every Encouragement.
WATERLOO PUT UP BIG BONUS
Half as Much Again as Mankato Is
Called Upon to Secure an
Electric Railway.
From Mondays Daily.

From Mondays Daily.
The committee of the Commercial
club that was appointed to solicit sub
scriptions for the preferred stock of the
proposed new street car company went
to work today, and has expectations of
getting the work done with reasonable
promptness. The members met with the
street railway men late yesterday after
noon and were informed of the plans
as to the building of the road
H. Z. Hance states that the reason
why the substance of the proposed fran
chise has not been given out for publ
cation was because there are knock
ers" who stand ready to strike out at
it. The only reason why it is desired
to have it passed quickly is SO that
things may move along. The forfeit
of $4,000 will not be put up until the
So, 900 of preferred stock has been plac-
ed
Mr.. Janney told the local people that
although he was putting up So or So to
their 81, he wanted everything bought
in Mankato that could be secured here
at the same price as elsewhere, and if
they could buy material abroad any
cheaper than he could he wanted them
to do it. The price of rails and wire
and all kinds of machinery, as well as
labor, is higher than two or three>year
ago, and the road will cost more to build
than the companies formed in the past
figured upon.
Mr. Hance feels that the people who
signed the lists of the two old COM
panies ought to come forward without
waiting to be solicited and sign for pre-
ferred stock in the new company and
thus help along the enterprise. He says
that some people refuse to spend even
three or four days doing committee
work, whereas he has given three years
of his time working up an enterprise
that will be great thing for Mankato.
He does not consider this Il fair deal.
He has plans on foot for getting fac
tories located in Mankato that will be
a great deal for the city, if he can have
a little help on the part of the other
business men. He states that i'll Water
loo and other Iowa cities bonuses to the
amount of SSO OOO have bepn Given to
secure electric lines, which have been the
means of pushing the cities ahead.
1t is likely that the promoters of the
street railway will consent that the or
dinance shall 90 over until another meet
ing of the council for passage 1t is
generally felt that little delay at this
time may be a good thing for both the
city and the company, for all want an
ordinance passed that will give both a
square deal.

Mr.. Windmiller Not Allowed to
Vary Contract.
CITY WELL rs NOW COMPLETE.
Aldermen Resolve Themselves Into
Board Of Equalization Afterthe
Special Session.
From Tuesdays Daily.

From Tuesdays Daily.
The street railway men did not APP
pear before the council last night, and
the matter of franchise did not come
up in any form. Previous to the meet
ing Contractor Windmiler had talk
with the aldermen in regard to the new
well which he is constructing. He said
that the well is practically completed
except for sealing the space between the
pipe and the casing. The contract calls
for the use of cement to do this, and he
had put down sixty-five bags of pure
cement without effect, as most of the
cement did not fall to the bottom, but
stuck to the pipe on the way down. He
said that if he was permitted to use
half sand and half cement he could
seal the space and stop the flow of
water outs side of the pipe, and have the
well completed in day or two. The
sand would take the cement down to the
bottom.
City Attorney Daley advised the alder
men against permitting the contract to
be varied from, for fear that Mr.. Wind
miller would not in that case be bound
to his guaranty.
The aldermen suggested to Mr. Wind
miller that if he was sure that he was
right that he might put down the mix
ture without consulting anybody. He
replied that City Engineer Thompson
has man watching him who would not
allow him to do it. He would not vary
from the contract without permission,
anyway.
When the council was called to order,
Alex Bashaw was allowed an estimate
of $500 on the North Broad street sewer
The water pipe is nearly all laid, and
when this is completed the excavation
can be filled and the contract completed.
The matter of water standing in de-
pressions on the Front street sidewalks
was left to the board of public works
to see the property owners.
Aid. Hampl asked whether there was
an ordinance to require the moving of
the boulevards. When people do not do
it, the sightliness is destroyed, and it is
diseouraging to those who NOW their
grass.
City Attorney Daley said that there
was no ordinance covering this. 1t was
a matter of civic pride with the property
owners whether they NOW the grass or
not.
Aid Atchison said that the Civic I'm
provement league had been so active
of late that it might turn its attention
to the grass on the bouIevards.
The council resolved itself into board
of equalization, and AID Atchison was
elected chairman, on motion of AID.

elected clerk.

LASsOW ON THE TRAIL.
Treasury Employee Is Now Hct Afte r
the Pinault Jewels.

Minneapolis. June 2l.-Where are the
Pinault jewels? This question was re-
vived yesterday when A. III. Lassow
of Mankato, special employee of the
United States treasury department, Wis
tied police headquarters and asked to see
the loot taken from the handsome
Mount Curve avenue residence by
Thomas j. Wainwright, now prison
er at Saltwater.
Nearly three months ago Mr.. Las
SOW ran across a clue which he said in
Dictated that no duty was paid on some
of the antiques brought to Minneapolis
from Quebec
Now it appears that although the
work of the police ended with the con
viction of Wainwright, the treasury de-
partment is not through with the case
Mr.. Lassow seemed much disappointed
when told that the jewels had been tax
Ell away He then asked for complete
list of all property stolen by Vain
wright.
1t was only by the foresight of some
of the police officers that the police de-
partment was able to furnish this list
DR.. Pinault had asked for both the lists
he had furnished the detectives, and
they were given him before he left
Sor his home in Pass Christian, Miss.
H did not tell the results of his in
vestigations to the police, but he limited
that there might be new developments
in the case before long
