HIS FOOT FROZEN.
Stranger Has to Have Toes Amputat-
ed BY County Doctor.


A stranger with one frozen foot ap-
piled to the city hall Saturday after
noon for relief. He said that his home
is in Louisiana, and that he has been
working in Belgrade for two or three
DAYS. For this reason the county phys
ician told him that he would have to
be treated by the Nicollet county au-
thorities. 1t is thought that some of
the toes will have to come off. The
mans foot was frozen while sleeping
in barns.
1t was decided afterwards to take the
man to Emmanuel hospital, and the
county physician will amputate at least
two toes. The physician stated that I'M
less a prompt operation was performed
the foot would have to come Off, and
to send the man away would probably
result in his death. County Commls-
sioner Paddock therefore authorized the
expense of the hospital treatment.

bought at inflated prices. Another clc
ment of caution in business is the con-
slant addition to expenses. Raw ma
teUals and finished materials are high;
labor is scarce and higher wages impose
an additional tax and risk i'm business
ventures. The action of the railroads in
advancing wages to employes.-however
pleasant it may have been to both sides
-srrests attention and causes more or
less serious questioning. Our railroads
are now under obligations for expensive
improvements, and with the costs of OPP
Grating steadily increasing, these new
expenses will inevitably make serious
inroad upon net earnings. At the same
time they are likely to be confronted
with demands for lower freight charges,
since shippers thus far have had no
share in railroad prosperity, in spite of
their having been its chief contributor.
Railroad managers have problems before
them. the acuteness of which will be
quickly felt when reaction begins.
Congress opens very shortly and Pres
ident Roosevelt's message will be await
ell with exceptional interest. although
its general tenor is already anticipated.
The administration is expected to con-
tinue it's aggressive policy towards the
large corporations which have been dis
obeying the law, and long drawn out
legal battle will be the outcome. The
next session of congress promises to be
one of active discussion but little real
action. Cuba. currency reform, subsidies,
reciprocity, tariff and trusts may all be
subjects of agitation, especially the lat
ter, and the stronger the discussion the
less likelihood of early agreement.

LACKED PATRONAGE.
ndustriaI Mercantile Company Goes
Into Bankruptcy.

From Thursdays Daily.
The Industrial Mercantile company
went into voluntary bankruptcy today,
the petition being signed by three of
the stockholders, Joseph P. and Henry
M. Cuddy and Mrs. Mary E. Youmans,
sons and daughter of NJ. j. Cuddy, who
has been manager OF the company. The
stockholders who refuse to sign the pc
tition are Emil Affolter, A. P. Thomp-
son, l.. p. England and Fred Mohr.
The liabilities are given as l,lS3.9O,
all unsecured, and the assets as $1,000
in stock and $50 in fixtures, all unin-
numbered. The largest item in the
schedule of liabilities is $500 for rent
of the store building up to the end of
the year for which it was leased, If the
room can be subleased, much can be
saved, as only $50 is actually owed for
rent at the present time.
The three petitioning members of
the company also filed individual petit
tions in bankruptcy, alleging that they
have no property but what is exempt.
The Industrial Mercantile company
opened for business on South Front
street July lst, with drygoods, novel
ties, ETC., but has done only a small bus
mess. Manager Cuddy states that sales
would be only fifty cents and dollar
some days. The company was started
to cater mostly to the trade of the
members of the labor unions, but it
failed to very large extent to get that
trade, and it's early demise was pre-
dicted by many when it started. The
company did everything possible to keep
the store going, but the burden became
too great, and the investment has proved
loss for the stockholders. The store
was kept open until today.
c. o. Daley is the attorney for the
petitioners.

no money to pay for them when they
came C. o. D. Young Schultz let Mars
land have $20-to get the suit with, and
Marsland never returned. and it was
learned that he never ordered the suit.
Peters says that Marsland borrowed
some money and an old coat from young
Schultz, but did not know whether he
had returned them When they were
paid off they did not get as much as
they had expected. s1=
Marsland was traced by an express
package that came for him and was
forwarded to Wisconsin and back to
st. Paul. Chief Donahue arranged for
st. Paul officer to be present when
Marsland should call for the package.
Saturday a man called and represented
himself to be Marsland took the pack
age and was arrested. He registered at
police headquarters as Marsland, but
later said that he was Peters. He is

station this afternoon, identified the

make up the ballot the country auditor,
remembering the large public funeral
given Stacy, hesitated about placing his
name on the ballot. He could think of
no authority vested in him for making n
