LABORERS ROBBED.
Circus Men Take About Everything
That They Have.

From Fridays Daily.
Seven or eight railroad men employed
in one of the railroad camps near Min
neopa boarded the circus train Wednes-
dav night at this city to catch a ride
to Minneopa 1t is learned that they
were set upon by men on the circus
train and robbed of about everything
that they had or wore. Ihelr money
watches, coats, hats and even their shoes
were taken from them, and they landed
at Minneopa a penniless bunch. 1t Is
said that the robbers even went so faI
as to break the finger of one man in the
effort to get his ring off, but failed in
this attempt. The matter has been re-
ported to TIE police, but it is doubtful
whether anything can be done. 1t is
claimed that the railroad men had been
drinking.

500, 600 Babies
Are Sacrificed
State Official Declares Adulterated
Foods an Appalling Menace.

AT recent. meeting of the executive
committee of the National Association
of State Dairy and Food Departments,
the secretary of state board made
the assertion, and produced figures to
prove it, that the death of nearly half
Il million little children in America
last year was due to poisons admins
tered in impure foods
Welcome, indeed, is a food that is
known to be pure and wholesome, rich
in nutrition and good to eat,-so good
that no other food can take its place.
We refer to Malta-Vita, that delicious
crisp, whole-wheat food. Among all
the cereal foods we believe MaltaVita
is the only food that is simply and
wholly pure grain product and nothing
else, except a little salt 1t is free
from any foreign sweetening agent or
other adulterant, and is made in alb
Solute cleanliness
A perfect breakfast is impossible
without Malta-Vita, and it's just as
good three times a day. Containing
every food element of the best white
wheat and pure barley malt extract it
is intensely vitalizing and easily di-
gested. Let your children have all the
Malta-Vita they want and you need not
fear for their health. Try some your
self with cream or fruit. You never
tasted anything quite SO good. All
grocers, now 10 cents.

He was quite astonishei when told that

saving that the road was going to be
built into Mankato and that the Mil
waukee had secured possession of the
property. Mr.. Holman said that he had
not intimated to anyone that the road

confident that its destination is st. Peter
via kasota. From what he could learn,
the promoters of the road have fully de-
cided to build into st. Peter, as was re
ported in The Free Press of Tuesday
last. If Mankato does get the road her
people must exhibit more interest in the
project than they have in the past, and
it is doubtful if anything that can be
done now would be successful in landing
it.
Hubert Bruels, one of the directors OF
the Duluth, ST. Cloud, Glencoe & Man
kato road, made the statement today
that be had read the report that the
troad had been disposed of to the Mil
waukee. This was about the 'stecnth
time that such report was put INTO
circulation. The originators of the. yarn
evidently gained some enjoyment out OF
their work and certainly it did not trou-
bic those that are building the Alphabet
road. Mr.. Bruel denied most emphati-
cally that the Milwaukee is connected
with the enterprise directly or indirectly
Mr. Bruels said also that the Alphabet
will not be built into Mankato. He re
gretted very much that the plans OF
the company do not contemplate build
inc the road into this city.
The Free Press has received tip that
| the Illinois Central will take over the
alphabet after it is built. That com
pany has a line from Chicago reaching
to the Gulf of Mexico. With lin'
| from Chicago to the head of the lakes
it would then have through route from
Duluth to New Orleans. This would bt

and all the pupils have to use them.
They ought to be changed at least twice
a week. Some of the pupils had been
told by their parents to wipe their
hands and faces on their handkerchiefs
rather than run the risk of getting di-
sease from the dirty towels. The board
was very careful to have clean floors and
walls, but was ncgIecting an important
matter.
The statement caused mild sensa-
ton, as the board did not realize how
long the towels are allowed to go with
out washing.
Judge Comstock brought up the mat
ter of trimming the trees on the Union
school grounds. He suggested that the
members of the board look at the
grounds at the different buildings and
see what is needed in the way of land
scape gardening. He thought that a
great deal could be done in the way OF
improving the appearance of the school
grounds.

FUNERAL AT ST. PETER.
lntermsnt Of Late Henry Doerr Jr
There This Afternoon.

T.
Henry Doerr went to st. Peter yester-
day afternoon to identify the remains
that were found there in the river as the
body of his son, if possible. Nothing
has been heard from st. Peter since, so
it is presumed that the remains were
those of the little boy. Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles Selleck went to ST. Peter this
forenoon to attend the funeral, which it
was intended should be held there at
2:3O o'clock this afternoon in case the
body should prove to be that of Henry
Doerr
The remains of Mrs. Doerr and two OF
the children are buried at st. Peter,
and for this reason it was planned to
hold the funerals of the drowned boy
there.

chase the paper and ia arrange to sell
it to the pupils at cost. This was car
ried 1t is estimated that the cost to
the pupils will be Is cents each.
Superintendent Mcconnell presented a
report upon the cost of increasing the
facilities of the manual training depart
ment. A new ceiling and new floor
would have to be put in, and heat sup
piled, and Il door cut through. Fifteen
benches would cost $l30.5O, and the tools
for these benches $lll.3l. This would in
crease the facilities for the present
work. For second year work in wood
it would be necessary to buy motor,
for 1928 or more, a table saw for $50,
lathe for 81, and tools, So. The sup
erintendent said that the district ought
to get all this. although the cost would
be over $500, besides the expense of fit
ting UP the room, which was estimated
at 5000 He recommended that here
after the pupils pay for the lumber that
is used in making articles that they
take home. This is done at Faribauit
and elsewhere.
Mrs. Smith said that the question was
one of finance, and President Hughe
said that he would dislike to invest so,
in this when stoves are being used il
the Franklin building. Judge Comstock
did not think that it would cost 5000 tt
fit up the room. He moved that the
committee on property and expense be
authorized to procure estimates. from
an architect on the cost, and this wa
carried
The bills were taken up and allowed
Mrs. Smith said that there had been
some talk in the board from time tC
time about the cost of doing laundry
work. but it was fact that the cost
had been kept down to the limit, fol

county was presented to Governor John

Vile. \ commissioner will be namel to

This trouble arose out of the proceed

from jackson to Lakefeld. The petition
charges that Anderson forged names to
the petition for the removal; that he
solicited T. +. Einess to remove his
name from the petition by the offer of
bride of $40; that he used his intlu-
ence to defeat the petition, and that
the petitioners were never given Il fair

PIKE MADE A HIT.
Insane Patients Enjoy a Unique Gel

From Fridays Daily.

All records for a successful celebra-

state hospital in st. Peter Tuesday af
ternoon and evening. The affair this
year contained many new and novel fea-
lures and it made hit with the pa
TENTS. Early in the afternoon a parade
passed through the grounds and later
the usual exercises were held on the
lawn. When they had been completed
the long heralded pike" was thrown
open to visitors. 1t consisted of ter
tented attractions and some of the
freaks and monstrosities shown would
have made professional Snowman turn
green with envy. Perhaps the most
popular was a realistic spectacle of the
fall of San Francisco. but in addition to
this there were bands of Indians, Il
troup of japanese and group of PLAN
tation singers. Among the curiosities
were big sea serpent, a mermaid the
tallest and Shortest men in the world
and the wild girl. Ferocious wild beasts
from manu chimes were exhibited in the
animal show and all of the attractions
were clever. Several hundred people saw
the fireworks display in the evening and
attended the platform dance which fol-

Some of the farmers around Swan

lower the level of that lake four feet,
so as to recover some pasture land
that has overaowed. The Mankato and
ST. Peter gun clubs and the farmers
around the lake who do not want it
lowered are talking of placing guard
at the outlet to see that the channel is
not lowered. There is also talk of of.
fering Il reward for the arrest OF any
one who undertakes to lower the chan
mel BY unlawful means. The lake Is
high now and the hunters would like to
