CORPUS CHRISTI.
Procession of, the German Catholic
Church Held Yesterday.

from MONDAY Daily.
The procession of Corpus Christi was
held yesterday forenoon at st. Peter
and Paul's Catholic church after mass
The procession was headed by the
priests bearing isacraments, and the choir
sang while the procession was in prog
ress. The children, all of the church
societies and the congregation in general
engaged in the procession and marched
around the block where the church prop
erty is located. On reentering the
church a tie deum was sung and the
benediction given.
This was not the first procession of
the kind held in the city, but it has been
some time since the last one was held
The custom is a general one, used over
the entire country A.
The pipe organ was used yesterday for
the first time since it was repaired and
showed a great improvement. The re-
pairs will be completed today, and it
will do still better after this.

YAH HaSehoech. the mammoth Carl
Hagenbeck circus which will exhibit in
Mankato July 4th.
"Yes. sir and our clowns are handles !;
some of them just like the kind we used
to see years ago." continued Mr.. Tate
SIN these modern times, showmen are
beginning to think that circuses don't
need clowns. l may be old fashioned
and behind the age, even if l do own
part of the biggest tented amusement
enterprise in the world, but l stick to
clowns and I'll lay you cigar that ev-
cry father and every son and daughter
and the majority of mothers in this city
agree with me that a circus must have
clowns to be a circus.
81 have never forgotten my earlier
days and never will especially the days
that marked the passing of the circus
bills, the days that followed and the
great big day of the show itself. l al
ways hunted for the pictures of the
clowns, | dreamed about them and then
when the circus arrived, | hunted them
in the flesh, the first thing. 81 had a
passion for clowns and circuses in my
boyhood days, and l guess that is the
reason l own part of a circus now. And
let me tell you, when | see my own
show, which is not often because | have
interests that keep me pretty close in
ST. Louis, l always laugh at the antics
of the joeys, as we call the clowns and
when any of them are in danger of being
bounded by the general manager. they al
ways let me know and l stand up for
them, whether they are in the right or
not. l just can't help it,"
And then Mr.. Tate told his auditors
about the thousand and one wonders
his big show contains. The Hagenbeck
circus has been greatly enlarged since
last season and its owners now claim
that it is the biggest in the country.
1t is carried on three trains of sixty
cars, gives performances in three rings,
in a steel arena on two stages and
around a wide hippodrome race track,
and has 1000 employees, 300 arenic stars
and 400 horses.

Prohibition Legislative Candidate
Wants Name Placed on Ticket.


John Nicholson of Luverne, Rock
county, has brought mandamus suit
against Secretary of State Hansen to
compel the respondent to accept fee
of 500 and file his affidavit of nomina
ton as member of the legislature on
the prohibition ticket.
The plaintiff first proceeds to establish
and prohibition party as an existing, ac,
tive and organized party in the country
in the state, and in Rock and Pipe
stone counties.
The respondent, Hansen, did, it is al
legged in the petition, decline to receive
the affidavit because, as he said, the
prohibition party had not presented can
didates to the legislature at three bien'
NAL elections in the said district during
the past ten years, and had not present
ed candidates for local offices in Rock
and Pipestone counties and is not pol
itical party in the counties named
within the meaning of the statute and
in the sixteenth legislative district.

JOHNSON IS FINED.
Whippie's Partner Given . Forty Day
Sentence In County Jail.

|
From Fridays Daily.
George w. Johnson, member of the
firm of Johnson 4 Whipple, chiroprac.
tors, entered plea of guilty to the
charge of practicing medicine without a
license before Judge Brindley yesterday
afternoon and was sentenced to pay a
in the county Jail. johnson chose the
Jail sentence because of circumstances
will be made.
The cost in the case necessarily high,
because requisition papers were neces-
sary to bring the prisoners back to La
Crosse and the long distance travelled
amounted to $45.75, making a total of
$llO75 which must be paid Judge Brind-
ley before Johnson gains his freedom.
Upon being sentenced yesterday John
son expressed the opinion that he would
serve out the term. Judge Brindley took
cognizance of the sentence imposed by
Judge Fruit upon Whipple, Johnson's
partner, and made it the same after a
plea of guilty. The pair will be released
at the same time OF nearly so. Whipple
was sentenced though not present in
court, having jumped bail. An effort now
is being made to recover the amount of
the bond, 500, for which J. B. Het-
Anger is declared liable by District At
tOrney BOsshard.
The arrest and conviction of Johnson
with sentence to the county jail closes
the case which was brought by DR.. A.
L. Jorris, member of the state med
zeal board. in the crusade upon unlicens-
ed practitioners in Wisconsin. Johnsons
arrest was caused in an effort to detain
his partner after it was known that
Whipple had jumped his bail bond. As
partners Johnson and Whipple practiced
chiropractics which it is claimed is oste-
opathy.
When Whipple left the city, warrant
charging johnson with the offense of
practicing medicine without a license,
was sworn out. He had left the city,
however, and could not be arrested.
Whan requisition papers were secured
Johnson and Whipple were brought back
to La Crosse, one to begin serving the
sentence imposed by Judge Fruit and the
other to stand trial.-La Crosse Chron-
icle.

STATUS OF MlNNEOPA PARK.
About az Far Away From CLOSING the
Deal as Ever.
TNosl

DIR. j. w. Andrews, chairman of the
Board of Trade committee on Minneo
pa park, is in receipt of another letter
from Attorney General Young in which
that official reiterates his previous
statement that he is not favorable to the
proposition that the state shall take
over the property at Minneopa, but in
asmuch as the legislature enacted law
providing for the purchase of the Min
neopa Falls site for park, he will per
form his duty in the premises, provided
however, that the committee can Sc
cure what he considers is a reasonable
figure for the land described in the or
iginal bill. This covers the falls and
adjacent property, but does not take
in the large cornfeld.
Mr.. Young intimates in his letter that
the law does not contemplate that he
shall proceed to condemn the property
if MIR. Buck should hold out for high
er price than the committee thinks he
should receive.
Chairman Andrews contemplated calling
a meeting of the committee for this af-
ternoon. 1t was proposed that Mr.. Buck
be requested to put price on the land
in question and the figure be submitted to
Attorney General Young. If the at
torney general is of the opinion that the
price is too high, the committee will
take 4 the necessary steps to force him
to begin condemnation proceedings
That is the present status of the Min.
neopa park matter a year and more af-
ter the act was passed by the legislature
providing that the Minneopa falls and
adjoining land be purchased for state
park.

Eagle Lake Pastor In Charge Of
Big Convention.
LUTHERAN FREE CHURCH.
Big Event at Battle Lake; Very I'M
portant Gathering Of the Min.
listers and Laymen.

Battle Lake, June l4-The annua
convention of the Lutheran Free church
opened at Battle Lake yesterday morn
ing and will close next Tuesday. Fully
800 persons gathered in the big tent
pitched for the convention to listen to
the opening ceremonies of the meeting
This convention is by far the most i'm.
portant of it's kind to be held in the
northwest this year, and the attendance
exceeds all expectations. 1t is expected
that fully 1000 people will attend the
exercises on Sunday, June II. Two years
ago the convention was held at Mime.
apolis and last year at Willmar.
Rev. Z. E. Gynild of Eagle Lake
Mimi, moderator of the convention
preached the opening sermon, and owing
to his long association with the work
he is the leading spirit in the convention
He has been associated with the conven-
ton work of the Free church for so long
that he is readily accorded first place in
the deliberations attending the holding
of the annual convention. Rev. Gynild
is rector of the Old Peoples and Or
phans' home at Eagle Lake. Another
prominent worker in the convention is
the Rev. H. c. Casperson of Glendale,
Mimi, who is just rounding out his sec
ond year as general secretary for the
convention.
The convention is national in scope
and delegates and visitors are present
from at least half the states of the I'm
ion. The list of visitors includes many
well-known speakers and singers, besides
a large number of students from Augs-
burg and other seminar;es. During the
routine work of this. convention reports
will be heard of the progress of Augs-
burg seminary, the Bethania school of
Everett, Wash, and of the various home
and foreign mission boards acting in con-
nection with the church.
A class of graduates will be ordained
at this convention, and Rev. l. Tollefson,
rector of the Deaconess institute in Min
neapolis, will have charge of this branch
of the convention work. A notable event
to take place on Friday evening will be
alumni meeting of Augsburg graduates.
Some idea of the magnitude of the
Battle Lake convention may be gained
from the fact that it is larger conven-
ton than that held at Willmar in 1905
when there were registered approximate
ly 400 delegates, including ninety two
pastors and professors. This large mum
Der of delegates, together with hundreds
of other visitors called here by the con-
vention, taxes the capacity of Battle
Lake in more ways than one.
The Free church comprises about 500
parishes. Minnesota leads with nearly
100 pastors; North Dakota is second in
Importance and Wisconsin is third. Can
ada and various states of the Union con-
stitute the. field of activity of many
pastors of this church, and every part
of the country is represented at the con-
vention this year.
