MADE AWAY WITH GARMENTS
Former Inmate Of State Prison Sus-
pected Of a Crime.

Albert Klugherz, who is employed by

between eight and eleven o'clock last
night while klugherz was attending
the minstrel show. Klugherz's rooms
is above Keffe & Jesse's saloon and was
not in his room until eleven o'clock when
he found his clothes missing.
Earlier in the evening Joseph Bently,
who was released from the state peni-
Tertiary two months ago, asked klug
herr what he was going to do. Klug-
herr told him he was going to the min
strel performance. Bentley remarked
that he (Klugherz) would not be back
until quite late. Bentley had been oc-
cupying a room two doors down the hall
from Klugherz and has not been seen
since the robbery. Bentley had pal
with him and the police suspect Bentley
as being the author of the robbery. No
warrent has been issued as yet.

OBTAINED A CLEW.
Case Of Child Abandonment at Owa-
tonna, the Developments.

Owatonna, Aug PA cruel case of
abandonment was discovered in this city
An infant about ten days old was found
on the campus of the state public school,
and apparently had been lying there for
some time. The authorities have good
clue to work upon, and it is believed that
the guilty parties soon will be under ar.
rest. This is the first case of this kind
in the history of the school. A N.
Wright of this city, who lives near the
school says he saw an elderly man and
a girl apparently about twenty five years
old on the campus. The girl was carry
ing bundle heavily wrapped in blan-
ket, which he is positive was the one in
which the child was found. The man
evidently was attempting to persuade
the girl to some act which she seemed
reluctant to perform. The police believe
she is the mother of the child.

Why Doesn't He Answer

Congressman are not really entitled
to mileage for most of them travel on
passes. This makes the matter all the
more aggravating when Mr.. McCleary
voted to have $4,000 of the peoples
money distributed among congressman
for trip they could not make, and had
no intention of making-his own share
of the money being about $500. Com
menting upon that disgraceful incident
The st. Paul Dispatch said:
"The serious phase of this matter is
its revelation of the kind of moral sense
of the men who voted for it. The old COM
mon law, with its hard common sense
says the one who is proven false in one
thing is presumed to be false in all
things. If hunger for money is Sc
strong as to let a man publicly vote
himself money to which he has no shad-
ow of right, what may it not let him
do where there is no publicity? And is
a man whose moral sense is so obtuse
a fit man to represent republican voters
in the congress of the United States?
Why does Mr.. McCleary persist in re-
manning silent on this question? Is he
not the same man who said at Amboy
''No man is worthy to act as trustee for
others who does not feel in honor bound
to prefer their good even to their ill
will, who does not make it his prime
object to serve them rather than to
please them, who does not clearly real
ize that his trusteeship is for their bene-
fit more than for his and does not con-
slider it his duty to protect their inter
ests even against themselves if neces-
sary. No man can do as he should in
such position unless he fully realizes,
and with high resolutions faces the fact,
that often in civil life as in military
life, the path of danger is the path of
duty"
How false and hallow this all sounds
when one remembers that Mr.. McCleary
does not practice what he breaches.

Who Mr.. Cole Is,

Who is Cole? He is the man who
will be elected governor of Minnesota on
Nov. 6. He is the man who does not
deal in glittering generalities whenever
he addresses an audience. Mr.. Cole is
the man who has placed himself on rec
ord as unequivocally in favor of re-
duction of freight rates. This is one of
his declarations in the speech delivered
by him at Kenyon on Monday night:
Il believe that most of the freight
rates now collected in this state are al
together too high and that the railroads
of the state are making too much
money andI feel that it is my duty to
state that, if elected, I shall do all in
my power to cause them to be reduced
to point where they are equitable to
both carrier and shipper
Mr.. Cole said that "the farmer is not
only the states greatest producer; he is
also the states greatest consumer. In
both of these relations the question
most vital to him and to every citizen
is that of railroad facilities, rates and
management"
Here is another declaration that will
meet with the Endorsement of the farm.

modern business the railroads are Oun

ers the discharge of function over
which it should exercise the strictest
supervision"
This is what Mr. Cole said in his
stand against the practice of rebating
"Rebating to favored shippers is one OF
the most harmful practices in which the
railroads have ever engaged. That prac.
tlce tends to stifle competition and breed
monopoly. The legislature has already
aimed to reach these abuses by law
but ] am in favor of strengthening ou
statutes on that odious and demoraliz.
ing practice will be crushed out, or those
who attempt it be sent to jail.''
Those are ringing words, and in theil

Hon. j. Z. McCleary, Mankato, MIMI
Dear Sir. Your letter of Aug. 81, in
viting me to engage in series of Joint
debates with you, was received yester
for the remaining twenty days of the
anti-primary campaign were made some
time ago, and that l have not at my dis
posal a force of government clerks to
take charge of my campaign headquar-
tiers, and the further fact that / have
been discussing the issues set forth in
my platform with the voters, individual
ly and collectively, for months past, l
can not accept your seemingly fair Of
fer.
/ have been an avowed candidate for
the congressional nomination since April
first, and on the fourth of said month,
made my announcement through the pa
pers of the district, and prior to that
time filed for said nomination and wrote
you the following personal letter:
Porter, Mimi, Mich. p, l906.-HOn.
j. T. McCleary, Washington, d. c. Dear
Sir: l have decided to become can
didate for the republican nomination of
congressman from the second Minneso-
ia district, and assure you that it will
be a clean fight as far as l am con-
cerned. Should you not be candidate,
L shall expect to receive from you as
loyal support as | have extended to you
in the past.
Il once promised you to notify you if
/ resigned from the rural service, and
you may consider this such notice, Re-
spectfully, G. GUTTERSEN."
In view of the above facts, it seems
strange to me that you have seemingly
just discovered Through the papers,

this challenge early, I could have ar
ranged to accept it, Yours truly,

utterance Mr.. Cole does not ,evade the

utterance Mr. Cole does not sevade the
question or equiyocate. They are the
words of man who, if elected COVER
nor, will realize the responsibilities and
duties of his office. Mr.. Cole declares
that, should he be chosen governor, he
will not hesitate to make suggestions to
the railway and warehouse commission
whenever the welfare of the people de-
mands them, but he will take upon him
self the responsibility of making formal
complaint against that body should it
fail to perform its sworn duty.
The more one reads the speech de-
livered by Mr.. Cole, the more he is con-
WINGED that he is man of action
who does things, and who will tolerate
no nonsense. He is man of force, of
stability and is just the sort of a man
that is needed at the helm of the states
affairs.

PRAISE FOR FARMERS.
Those Living on Eagle Lake Road I'M
prove the Highway.
TNr;1


Too much praise cannot be given to
the farmers who have used the split
log drag to keep the roads in good con-
dition This is especially so of the
farmers living on the Eagle Lake road,
There is not rut of any kind and the
highway is very smooth. In the past
this road was the poorest one leading to
Mankato. Now it is pleasure to 90
automobile riding or with a horse ON
this highway. This clearly demonstrates
what can be done with split log drag.
No better test could be giving any kind
of good road machine than on the
Eagle Lake road as it always has been
the toughest road in the county.
The merchants of Mankato who gave
few of these to their customers would
be two-fold repaid could they but see
to what end the farmers have utilized
them. Don't let this be the only nice
road leading to the metropolis of Blue
Earth county, but keep up the good
work.

NOT A HIT WAS SECURED.
Pitcher McCieary Acquitted Himself
With Much Credit.

Faribault, Aug. 2S.-The pitching OF
McCleary was the feature of yesterdays
game here between the Fleckenstein and
Mapleton teams, and which was won by
the locals by score of 3 to 0. The
clever southpaw was in magnificent form
and performed the remarkable feat of
pitching the entire nine innings without
allowing a hit. Only twenty seven of
the visiting players faced him at bat
and at no time did Mapleton have a
chance to score. Fourteen of the visitors
were retired on strikes.
Dalgren was on the rubber for the WIS.,
itors and the locals got to him for eight
safe ones, which enabled the "Flecks"
to win handily. Both teams. fielded brill
liantly, the works of the .lecks being
especially fine. Grodnick played good
game at second base for the visitors.

BUY OF HOME DEALERS.
Word to Those Who Conte mpIate
Visiting the State Fair.

from TUESDAY daily.
The state fair will open at Hamline
on Monday next. That thousands of
people will go from all parts of the
state to see the big show there is not a
particle of doubt. The attendance will
be as large as usual. Many of the visitors
to the twin cities will do considerable
shopping in the stores in those towns.
They always have made extensive pur-
chases and large number of them will
continue to do so despite the fact that
they could get just as good bargains
from the local merchants. 1t would be
well for those who contemplate buying
in the twin cities to visit the stores in
their home towns and make careful in
spection of the stocks of goods kept on
the counters, and if there is anything
you want to look at and do not see
displayed just call for the article. 1t
will be produced. Inquire into the prices
and make a note of them SO that you
can compare those figures and the quail
ity of the goods with those which will
be shown you by the clerks in the twin
city stores. The Free Press suggests
that you will find that the prices offered
by the local dealers will be as low as
those which are marked on the goods
kept in stock by the st. Paul and Min
neOpols retailers
Another thing that must be considered
by purchasers. During the fair week
twin city merchants inaugurate clear
ing sales, but they are not always adj
vertised as such. 1t is at that time that
all the shop worn goods of the year are
brought forth and sold to those who are
not acquainted with their quality. Much
stuff of inferior quality is palmed off
on the unsuspecting.. Here is where the
city merchants make their profit and
at the same time they get rid of a
stock of articles that the city folk will
not buy. Taking everything into con-
sideration, prices, quality, ETC., the people
from the inland towns will do better
by themselves if they buy from their
local dealers and not spend their money
with the merchants in the twin cities.
