FALL OF THE METE0RS.
More Than The Usual Number to
Come Down This Month.
From SATURDAYS Da;lV.

Mankato residents will he able to
see more than the usual number of
meteors fall during the present month
and the month of November as these
are the two months when they appear
very frequently. 1t has been some
wears since there has been any heavy
shower of meteors. Those who are in
terested in the falling of these heaven
Nv bodies will be interested in the fol-
lowing logic of Mr.. Ward, of Milwau-
kee, director of the museum at that
place.
Mr.. Ward says the reason for the
appearance Of the meteors in august
and November more than other months
is because at those times the orbit of
the meteors for they have orbit as
surely as planets crosses that of the
earth, in some particular place. each
wear Thus grea5 number of the
meteors are brought into view at one
tine.
Meteors can be seen on any clear
night said Mr.. Ward "The greater
numbers, however, come early in
August and November. In former years
the August showers were not consider
ed so important by the astronomers as
those which occurred i'm tie fall. The
November showers were scheduled to
occur, however, only once every thirty
three years.
''When Il meteor gets within the at
mosphcre of the earth, one or two
things are sure to happen. Either it
is broken UP by intense burning or is
Gisintegrated mechanically because of
the friction encountered"
Considering their great velocity
twenty eight miles q second the force
with which they strike objects on the
earth is remarkably mild. The meteor
ties seem to play the pneumatic cush-
ion game; they concentrate much heat
ed air before them. in their passage
through the atmosphere, which offers a
great resistance to their speed.

TICKETS WERE GONE.
Unpleasant Experience of Freeman
Family on Train Last Night.

from FndayS Daily.
r. r. Freeman, wife and daughter of
Walnut Grove had an unpleasant expe
rience last night They came to Man
kato yesterday and bought tickets over
the Omaha road for Denver, Col, in
tending to reside there if they liked it,
Mr.. Freeman to 60 into business. Mr..
Freeman placed his tickets in an envel-
ope and placed the envelope and note
book in hip pocket. He and his fam
lily tried to board the lO:40 p. m. train,
but it was crowded and they could not
get on They took the next train, which
passed through the city at about mid
night. The train was nearly to Lake
Crystal when the conductor came around
and then Mr.. Freeman made the discov
cry that the envelope containing the
tickets and the note book were gone.
The conductor agreed to allow the fam
lily to proceed to Sioux City, but Mr..
Freeman preferred to return at once to
Mankato, fearing that the tickets would
not be found. Some empty coaches were
just ready to start for the twin cities
from Lake Crystal, and the conductor in
charge kindly let Mr.. Freeman and fam
ily ride back to Mankato in one of the
cars.
Mr. Freeman took the matter up with
the depot officials, but he has not yet
recovered the tickets. He is of the Opin-
ion that his pocket was picked while
standing in the crowd trying to get on
the l0:4O p. m. train. He noticed a
man dressed in light suit jOstle him.
If the tickets and book were found by
someone they should be returned to
Agent Olof |. johnson. Mr. Freeman and
family started today for Denver. He
was formerly in the banking business
at Walnut Grove.

NEARING COMPLETION.
Negotiations for Removal Of Tub
Factory Will End Satisfactorily.

From Fridays Daily.
The negotiations for the removal of
the tub factory to the site at the west
end of the slough, near the PolchOw
brick yard, have been brought to sue
cessful conclusion, apparently. The
fixing of the details is all that remains
now, and these will no doubt be con-
cluded soon in a satisfactory manner.
The city will be asked to put in wa
ter mains and sewer to the river in
lieu of the donation of $1,000. The city
vas expected to do this anyway, in ad-
dition to the donation, so the council
will probably not hesitate to carry out
the wishes of the syndicate, in case that
estimates do not make the cost of the
sewer too great.

GRAND LARCENY CHARGED.
s. II. Thurston Alleged to Have Mis-
appropriated $50.

IOIl bdhy'
Sherman HI. Thurston of Garden City
was arraigned before Judge Comstock
this morning on warrant charging him
with grand larceny in the second degree,
for the alleged transportation of $50
left him by W. r. Morgan to be paid
to the Eetna Life Insurance company of
1t appears that Morgan and Thurston
some time ago bought farms that were
covered by one mortgage, and it is said
that Thurston did not keep up the in
terest on his part of the mortgage, and
that in order to prevent foreclosure
Morgan had to pay it all until Thurston
is now in his debt to the extent of
something like $500. 1t is claimed by
Morgan, who travels for machine firm,
that he sent Thurston draft for $50 to
pay interest on the mortgage, which
was held by the insurance company, but
that Thurston kept the money himself
instead of paying it over as he was in
structed to do.
Thurston desired hearing and it was
set for Aug. "a at 10 a. m, and he fur
nished $500 bonds for his appearance at
that time. C. ]. Laurisch appeared as
his attorney.
Thurston is said to have admitted to
an officer that he owes Morgan $40,
but to have denied any knowledge of the
$50 referred to in the complaint.
