Mobile Proves That 1t Is
a Slick Road Builder.
HAULED THE SPLIT LOG.
Bubbles Should Be Put to Use I'm the
Country; They Do Work
With Ease.
From SATURDAYS Daily.

From Saturdays Daily.
The automobile has been put to a
new use Instead of being pleasure
party vehicle entirely it is a valuable
apparatus in aid of the good roads
movement TO illustrate. This morning
John Nvouist and Alba Lewis took "a
trip out on the bluff road to st. Peter
in Nicolet county. They overlook
Roadoverseer Peterson who was in sore
straits because all the farmers teams
in the district were dreadfully busy in
the corntields. He wanted team to
haul split-log drag, but couldn't get
one He told his troubles to Messrs.
Nvauist and Lewis. These gentlemen
at once became possessed of a happy
thought and they were not slow to hand
it to Mr.. Peterson. The auto would
haul his road drag. No sooner said than
done. The drag was attached to Mr..
Lewis automobile. The button was
pressed and away the machine sped
down the road. The drag worked like
a charm and for six and more miles the
highway was smothed down like a poll
tician's talk to gaping crowd of ward
workers. Mr.. Peterson was as delighted
as President Roosevelt is every time he
hears of mother that has given birth
to triplets., t.
1t has been demonstrated that an au
tomobiIe can haul very nicely and safe
ly split log drag over a roadway as
rocky as that one which was supposed
to have stretched its way between Jeru
salem and Jericho, long before the good
roads agitation was started. Not only
can the auto haul the device, but the
drag itself will perform its function
Just as well as if it were attached to
horses. Autoists can overcome the pre-
judice which exists among the farm
ers against their machines if they will
kindly lend a hand to improve the con-
ditien of the roads. 1t is for the inter
ests of the autoists that the roads are
improved as much more pleasure and
comfort can be derived by the occupants
of the machines from riding over smooth
roadways than humping along over ruts
and gullies The autoists should lend
a hand in this work of lettering the
highways. Another thing, the farmers
would think more of the autoists if
they would hold in their machines
whenever they meet a team that appears
to be afraid of them. All autoists do
not consider that other people have
rights to the road.

ST, CLOUD HEADGEAR.
It Is Causing Whole Lot OF Trouble

From Fridays Daily. -
st. Cloud, Mimi, June 29.-The peo-
pie of this city are beginning to discuss
the lid problem since Adolph Linden
berg, proprietor of the Grand Central
saloon, was arrested and brought up to
Sank Center for hearing. ~
The arrest of Lindenberg by an Off
eia1 out of the city, the preliminary
hearing in Sank Center, the attitude of
County Attorney j. B. Himsl, and last,
but not least, Judge David Wilcox of
Sank Senter. All these have made the
lid business worth talking about.
And now comes the Rev. c. w. Stark,
the Methodist pastor of St. Cloud, who
is looked upon as the yeast that will
raise the lid, and he states that he
has cases against twenty-one saloonkeep-
ers' of ST. Cloud, and that just as soon
as the Lindenberg trial is over he will
have the next man arrested, and keep
the good work going till the finish. Rev.
Stark claims that he, has two cases of
violation of the Sunday law against each
saloonkeeper, making about sixty cases
in all One of the remarkable features
about the case is that all of the attOr
news for the state are out of town men.
They are County Attorney George w.
Peterson of Todd county, L. r. Barto of

AUTOMOBILE CLUB.
Owners Of Bubbles Talk Of Organizing
i -F itss One.

= ~ SUSs q IL
From Fridays Dali
Some of the owners of automobiles
Ire talking of organizing an automobile
club. Such clubs are in existence in
the larger cities, and have proved Of
value. One of the objects of the club,
if it was to be organized, would be to
adopt rules and regulations about the
speed of machines in the city, with IA
view to looking out for the saftey of
the public in general. Another object
would be to try to educate the public
to do its share to prevent accidents by
Keeping the children off the streets. An
automobile club could also do much to-
ward the cause of good roads, it is
thought, as the members would be glad
TO pay something toward getting bad
spots in the roads repaired.
aThere are now about forty-five ma
chimes in the city, and good member
ship in club of the kind named would
be possible.

SKIPPED A FEW DOGS.
Mapieton Township Assessor Found
Three Less CANNES.


A. j. Knight, assessor in Mapleton
township, failed to find any diamonds
but did succeed in finding seventy dogs.
As there were seventythree last year
we believe he must have skipped some.
The value of lands in the township is
given at $2l2,634 exclusive of struc-
lures, the latter being placed at $23,275.
Horses to the number of AIS were
found; 1886 cattle, of which number 62O
were COWS, which indicates the interest
in dairying; but forty sheep are owned
in the township, and CAB hogs. Not an
automobile is found i'm the township,
but there are AZ wagons and carriages,
seven pianos, fourteen organs and fifty
two sewing machines. The total personal
property for the year 1906 is given at
$50, 1894 against $32,42l last year.-Ma-

ATTORNEY CONSUMED.
Fears That Madison Lake Will Be
80 Lowered too Much.

f& Lowered too Much.
From Fridays Daily.
III. l.. Schmitt has been consulted by
venting Madison Lake from being lower
ed below the original level, which is
was accompanied to Madison Lake yes
Eterday by County Surveyor Brooks and
visited the outlet to the lake, which has
Just been lowered. From measurements
it was found that there is now three
feet and two inches of water running
out of the. outlet, although in the last
ten days the level of the lake has been
lowered only four and one-quarter in
ches. When the rains cease it is feared
that the lake will fail below the out
let, which would mean Il fail of three
and half feet OF more, which would
bring it altogether too low, turning east
bay into marsh and spelling the
beauty and healthfulness of the shores.
I" Those who have consulted MIR. Schmitt
would like to have the lake lowered
about as provided by the county board,
which authorized that it be lowered one
foot. They estimate that it has been
lowered nearly two feet lower than was
authorized, in violation of law. They
would like to have stone or cement
bottom placed under the culvert at the
point where the bottom of the outlet
was some years ago, which would keep
L nice head of water in the lake, but
still not overflow, the meadows. The
law provides that the lake cannot be
permanently lowered without vote of
the people of the village.

BUNCH RUN IN.
Five DIsorderIy People Psy Fines In
the Police Court.

From Saturdays Daily.
Officers Bienapf and Vogel had their
attention attracted at about twelve
o'clock last night by noise in room
over a saloon on North Front street,
and upon entering the room found three
women and two men. One of the women
was intoxicated The officers took the
quintet to the city hall, locking up the
women, but allowing the men to 90
upon putting up cash bail of SO each.
The story told by all concerned was
that they had been drinking in the sa-
loon until one of the women got intoxi-
Gated, and then rather than have her
go out upon the street in such condition
it was decided to accept the offer of one
of the proprietors of the place that she
be allowed to 60 to his room until she
recovered. The others assisted her to
the room, and just then the officers ar
rived.
All parties were arrigned before
Judge Comstock this morning on the
charge of disorderly conduct, and plead
ed guilty. The two men, who are trav-
cling statesmen, gave the assumed names
of Oscar Smyth and Harry Van Anken,
and paid $l3.65 EACH The women gave
their names as May Hazenkamp, Eliza
beth Donard and Frances Carlson. The
latter two reside in st. Paul. but came
to Mankato a few days ago. They each
paid 1885, and in addition were order
ed to leave the city within twenty
four hours, and in the meantime to
keep out of saloons.
Mayor Taylor and Judge Comstock
had the proprietors of the saloon ION the
carpet this forenoon, but it has not
been decided what steps to take in the
matter, if any, so far as relates to them
Judge Comstock remarked to the
women when they were arraigned that
it was such as they running at large on
the streets at night that lead to respec-
table women being insulted on the
street, a campaign against which is now
in progress.

Sensational Shooting at the Indian
School at Pipestone.

Pipestone, Mimi, June 30.--A SEN
sational shooting occurred at govern
ment Indian school in this city this
morning. =.
Alexander Hart, discharged EN-
ployee, entered the dining hall, which
was full of officers, teachers and stu
dents of the school, and commenced
firing at those in the room. He aimed
at Superintendent Campbell, Clerk I. c.
Smith, Disciplinarian Felix, C.. X. Peck

down another steep incline and loops
the gap. AT night he leaps volcanic

rheumatism, and though | spent consid-
cradle money for medicines, trying first
one thing and then another, until !

licved of the trouble

| have the honor to acknowledge receipt
of your resignation as Inspector general
of the governors staff, to take effect i'm
mediately, ) and beg to inform you that
the same is hereby accepted.
/ regret very much, that you have
deemed ut necessary to. take this action.
When you were rendered this appoint
ment, it was with the distinct under
standing that it did not carry with it
any obligation which might, influence
your future political action. Positions
on the staff are complimentary politi
cal appointments, usually rendered t.
the personal friends of the governor.
and ] have always been proud to mum
Der you among these. Many of the
members of the staff, as you know, are
ardent supporters of the republican par
ty and my last thought. would be that
because of the acceptance of such pc
sition man must be committed to my
political support, and l therefore all
the more regret that you should have
deemed it incumbent upon yourself to
take this action. | expect every man to
be the custodian of his own political
thought and action and would be the last
person in the world to criticise anyone
for doing what he deemed to be his
duty
Your resignation l hope and trust will
make no difference in our personal
friendship and our personal relations
Having known you for twenty years, al
most intimately, | naturally feel an in
terest in your welfare and prosperity
and | sincerely hope that the clouds
which have gathered about you during
the past few months may soon roll by
and restore you to that same position
which you previously occupied. If
can be of any service to you in any way,
please command me. With best wishes
for yourself always, l have the honor to
be, yours very truly, John A. Johnson,
governor.
