OLD COUPLE UNITE.
NicolIet County Man and Wife De-
eide Not to Divorce.

st. Peter, May 3-When the May
term of the Nicollet county district
court was convened yesterday, one oil
the most important cases on the civil
calendar, that of Mary Chaser against
Peter CHASER, was dismissed. 1t was an
action for divorce, and owing to the ad-
vanced ages of the principals, Mrs. elias
er being seventy seven and her husband
seventy four, had attracted much atten-
ton.
The proceedings were instituted sew
eral months ago In her complaint, Mrs
Chaser declared that she and her hus-
band were married in this city July
l6, 1865, and that they had since resided
in the township of Ridgely, Nlcollet
county. She made the allegation that
her husband had treated her cruelty and
asked that the courts grant her tenn
porary alimony and give her her share
of real and personal property valued at
nearly $4,000. When the trouble oc-
Cured, Mr.. and Mrs. Chaser separated,
but few days ago a reconciliation was
effected and yesterday the. case was
stricken from the calendar.

MUST BE GOOD PLAN.
Scheme Redwins Merchants Have tc
Do Away With Adve Stising Fakes.


People who i'll the future solicit do
nations from Redwing merchants or adj
vertising for programs, directories and
other advertising schemes, must be sure
that the objects for which they want
money are worthy causes, and that the
advertising which they sell is of value
to the merchants, before they can sue
ceed From time immemorial the mer-
chants of Redwing have paid out large
sums OF money which have been of no
benefit to them OF the community, and
they have come to the conclusion that
considering the close margin on which
goods are sold at the present time, they
cannot afford to throw away their mon
ey lavishly for things that do not bene-
fit Them Accordingly the merchants
have decided that all such matters shall
be referred to the executive committee
for approval or rejecting. In this man
ner whatever is worthy of support will
be given the approval of the executive
committee. A good cause will therefore
fare better than could be possible when
dozens of unworthy schemes constantly
drained the resources of the merchants.
This plan could with profit be followed
by the merchants in Mankato.

FOUND MONEY IN A LOG.
One Hundred and Forty Dollars In
Gold Embedded in Tree.
Erid VIC Doil

This is story related by The lie
Sueur Center Leader: While Huber
brothers were saving. off slab from a
large white ash log on the farm of Mar
tin Millet, in Lexington township, this
week. peculiar opening was found III
the wood which aroused their curiosity
and prompted them to make an investi-
CATION, with the result that they found
seven twenty dollar gold pieces imbed-
ded inside the wood. 1t seems that a
hole was first bored into the trunk of
the tree and after the money deposited
inside the opening was closed or plug
ged." The latest date on the gold pieces
is 1854, which would tend to show that
the money had lain in its hiding place
for long period.

AN OPINION BY YOUNG.
The Old License Holds Good in Case
Of Automobiles.

From Tuesday 8 Daily.
Changes in the automobile law made
by the new code will not make it neces-
sary for old licensees to procure new Ii
censes, according to an opinion of At
torney General E. I. Young in reply to
a query from L. a. Lydiard, city clerk
of Minneapolis.
Mr.. Young, in his opinion, holds that
the section of the code referring to au-
tomobile licenses is taken practically I'M
changed from the laws of 1908, except
that the city clerk, instead of the boiler
inspector, is to issue the license. He
holds that since there is no provision in
cense it is clear that it was intended
to continue as long as the licensees
might operate the machine for which the
license was obtained. The change re-
ferred to would not revoke the licenses
regularly issued by the boiler inspectors
The authorities seem to hold that even
an absolute and unconditional repeal of
a law under which a license is issued
does not revoke the license unless the
repeating law so provides.
He also holds that the owner of two
or more machines cannot use one license
for all of them, but must have sep
arate license for each machine. Each H.
cense must describe the machine so that
it could be identified, otherwise it would
not be "a license therefor" and license
stherefor." and license with such de-
scription would not be license for any
other machine.

UP TO THOSE BENEFITED.

C,ror, T,ocIoy'S DajIv
From Tuesdays L

The committee on Fourth of July cele-
bration of the Commercial club this af-
ternoon presented "a report to the club,
in which it stated that the majority of
the committee was opposed to having a
celebration this year in Mankato. The
merchants have been subjected to so
many calls for subscriptions and will
be called upon for so many during the
summer and fall that it would be bur
den to have a celebration and ask the
merchants to donate for that, also. The
committee reported, however, that if
those who are especially and directly
benefited by having a celebration will
furnish the money for it there would
be no objection to having the celebra-
ton.

ACCIDENTS MAY OCCUR.
Reckless Children Persist In Runnlr a
in Front OF Automobiles.
From Mondays Daily.

One of the prominent automobile
owners of the city states that ter
rible accident is going to happen one of
these days, that will shock the city,
and it will not be the fault of the auto
mobilists either He states that there
are boys in different parts of the city,
and more especially on North Broad
street, who take delight in running in
front of the machines and getting out
of the way just in time. They are
generally large enough to do this with
safety, but the trouble is that younger
children follow the example set them by
the older ones and try to scurry across
the path of the big machines with
spirit of bravado that racks the nerves
of the chefreurs.
BY the merest chance a four year old
tot escaped being run over couple of
days ago on North Broad street by one
of the most careful autoists in the city,
A big boy had run in front of the ma
chine, attracting the attention of the
driver, when suddenly the little one
thought to do the same thing and made
the instant use of judgment and nerve
prevented the little one being run over
and probably killed. Had this happened.
the driver of the machine would doubt
less have been wrongfully blamed.
There is another class of boys that
the automobiles complain of, and that
is the ones who seem to think the auto
mobiles have no rights in the streets
that they need respect. A dozen boys
will be playing ball in the driveway, in
violation of the ordinance. and when a
machine comes along they will act as
though they owned the street. One of
these threw his baseball bat under one of
the machines the other day, and it barely
missed going between the spokes of one
of the front wheels. Had il done so it
would have caused a very serious acct
dent
A bad accident was narrowly avert
ed two or three days ago on South
Broad street. when machine met a
team and a bicycle carrying two little
girls, one working the machine and the
other riding behind. 1t seemed to the
cheffeur but choice of which to strike,
but by the merest chance he was able
to pass between.
All parties cannot be too careful now
that there are so many machines on the
streets.

MANGLED BY THE CARS.
Chris Spangaard Was Run Down BY
Train Near Waseca.
From Fridays Daily.

TOIu FTludy > DdIfy.
Thursday morning about seven
o'clock as Conductor +. S. Gums train
passed the grove just west of r. p.
Wards farm, near Waseca, the body of
man was discovered lying upon the
track An examination revealed that the
body was badly mangled-arms and legs
broken and the head crushed so badly
that it was impossible to recognize the
person. DR.. II. G. Blanchard, coroner,
was called He had the remains remov-
cd to the undertaking rooms of Gomez
& Pfaff at Waseca.
The coroner found that the man wore
dark gray suit of clothes, gray cap
size six and three quarters, read sweat
er, brownish overcoat, and laced enamel
ed leather shoes. Upon the body were
also found some small change, brok-
ell pipe, an indelible pencil, a brown lea
Their pencil holder, pocket knife with
the initials C. p. s.. q saloon pool chip
silver watch ana chain-the chain in
several strands-and a srlall silver cruel
fix. The watch had stopped at four min
utes after nine. After careful investiga-
ton the coroner concluded that the
man was Chris. Spangaard, native OF
Denmark. He had no permanent home
but worked in different places.
The watch and the initials on the
knife gave the clue to the identity of
the man. How he came to be upon the
track will always be a mystery. Wheth-
er he was killed by the west bound
freight of Wednesday evening, as might
be inferred from the showing of his
watch, or by a later train, will prob
ably never be definitely known. He was
under the influence of liquor Wednesday
afternoon.
