Care of the Teeth.

Cracking nuts, biting thread, and
want of cleanliness are injurious to the
teeth. After eating the mouth should
be rinsed with lukewarm water, and
such pieces OF food as are not thus
washed away removed carefully by a
toothpick. The toothbrush should be
elastic and not too hard. Rub up and
down as we'll as across the teeth. A
great many do more injury than good
by rubbing the teeth SO hard as not
only to injure the enamel by excessive
friction, but also to hurt the gumG.
No care will preserve them as they
should be kept without consulting 4
dentist.

CULTIVATE SEATTLE SPIRIT.
LIP. Hunt Tells What Mankato Might
Become with Boosting,

from FRIDAY Dtly
L. p. Hunt gave an address before the
knights of Pythias lodge last evening
that ought to be repeated before the
Mankato Commercial club. He told of
the Seattle Spirit" that has brought
that city forward during the last few
years and is making a metropolis of it,
and said that if similar spirit was
shown by all Mankato residents this
city could easily attain a population o.
10000 in a few years instead of having
its increase practically limited to the
birth rate.
Mr.. Hunt said that at Seattle every
west or middle Seattle, but everybody is
glad if any part of the city gets some
thing, neither are they jealous of the
neighboring cities, but are pleased to
have them get something occasionally.
Everybody boosts for Seattle, and popu-
latiOn and industries are fiocking in. The
city has grown from $4,000 dozen
years ago to 100000 now, and property
values are going up by leaps and bounds
All. of the Mankato people who have To-
Gated there are doing well. j. A. James
recently sold a place that cost him
about $4,000, for $4,000, and has been
offered $4,000 for another property that
cost him a short time ago $17 1000, but
expects to get 100000 by holding on
few months longer. Harvey Williams
has fine business and is doing we'll
Mankato has magnificent location
and ought to become large city. 1t
has a splendid territory to draw from
on all sides, while Seattle has the ocean
on one side, and is surrounded by large
cities
What is needed in Mankato is an
awakening to its worth and possibilities.
The thing. most needed at the present
time is street railway line to connect
the ends of the city and run to some
other town. While such a line might
not return dividends at once, it would be
profitable for the business interests and
il outside capital cannot be interested
local capital ought to build it, the sub
scriptions being proportional to the ben
efits derived. The city has the other
modern Improvements, but is behind all
other cities in lack of rapid transit
With street railway line and man
Hesitation of the Seattle Spirit" there
would be different city here in short
time.

GROUND WATER RESOURCES.
live tigation in Southea stern Mime
sofa Has Been Completed.
From Saturdays Daily.

FROM Daily.
Field work in Minnesota has closed
for 1906, and the biologists of the Unit
ed States geological survey who have
been investigating the ground water re-
sources of the southeastern portion of
the state have returned to Washington,
where they will spend the winter months
in preparing their reports.
The area covered this season COM
prises about twenty counties, including
all those south of st. Paul and Min
Minnesota rivers. Practically every town
in this area was visited, and system
attic study was made of the depth of
occurrence of the various water-bearing
formations and the quality of water
from the different beds. Whenever pos
sible, copies of chemical analyses of the
waters were obtained, and in addition a
great many analyses of typical waters
from all the formations were made by
the chemist of the field party.
The report resulting from this work
will be of the most complete and com
prehensive character. The notas taken
by the biologists cover every phase of
ground water occurrence exhibited in the
region, and when all the facts have been
brought together i'm concise form, each
community in the district will be able to
obtain accurate information concerning
the source, quantity, and quality of its
available water supply. This informa-
ton will be particularly valuable in
counties where shallow wells furnish the
chief supply, for a study of the rock
outcrops and well records in neighboring
counties will make possible the predic-
ton of the geological formations which
may be reached by deeper drilling and
OF the character of the waters which
those formations may be expected to
yield. The reports will also discuss the
origin of artesian waters, define the
PiN>'o e'iNoo vi HoNIHS WITS, anu lIUI
cate those areas i'm which new flowing
wells are likely to be discovered.
The report will give particular atten-
ton to the suitability of the waters for
various industrial purposes. The injur-
ious effects of many waters on boilers
are too well known to need comment.
1t may not be so generally known, how
ever, that waters well adapted for GER
tain kinds of manufacturing may prove
entirely unfit for use in other lines.
These considerations have been kept con-
stantly in mind during the progress of
the field work, and the report will treat
this part of the subject in detail, spec
ial effort being made to Indicate the
sources from which waters available for
different purposes may be obtained, and
to suggest methods of treatment which
may render the harmful waters less OBJ
iectiOnable

ACQUITTED OF CHARGE
8eecher n. Ward Of Fairmont Didn't
Shoot q Cow Moose.


Beecher II. Ward of Fairmont has
been acquitted in the district court of
Itasca county of violating the game
laws of Minnesota. The case was
brought by Executive Agent Fullerton
and has been pending for two years.
The first case was brought in Deem
Der. 1904, Mr.. Ward being charged with
having killed a COW moose. He was
cited to appear before a justice of the
peace UP in the woods and fifteen miles
from the railroad. The states witnesses
did not appear and the case was Us
missed.
A second case was commenced against
Ward on a charge of shipping one quar-
ter of a COW moose by express to Fair
mont. The hearing was set before an
other justice in July, 1905. Mr. Ward
made no appearance. and was found
guilty. He then took an appeal to the
district court. An interview from Sam
Fullerton appealed in some of the twin
city papers about this time, in which ne
stated that he had set a trap for B. IL.
Ward and had spies following him
while he was hunting in the northern
woods.
For some cause or another the case
was three times continued. though each
time Mr.. Ward was compelled to appear
with attorneys and witnesses at great
expense, and he thinks there was a con
spiracy to make him all the expense and
trouble POSSIBLE. Though his attorneys
so stipulated and admitted that moo Sc
meat was shipped to Fairmont by ex-
press. the state insisted on sllmmonina
f.. w. Bird of Fairmont and three 9th
er express men through whose hands the
meat passed, to appear each time Mr..
Birds fees, expense and mileage each
time was about 800.
Mr.. Ward was finally urged to plead
guilty and pay nominaf fine but he
felt that he was being prosecuted in
stead of prosecuted and he resolved to
tight the case regardless of expense. As
IT IS 1T has cost him more than 5000
but had the state won the costs of the
suit which he would have had to pay
would have been 81 200 More.

From Tuesdays Daily
Lost in the mountains OF Colorado
and snow falling every day is the fate
of Harold Turrttin, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
George w. Turrittin OF this city, ac
cording to letter which they received
Yesterday from the foreman of pros
pecting crew that Harold was at work
for The letter went on to say that the
party was located thirty miles from the
nearest town, engaged in work, and that
one day last week Harold took "a r.Ie,
saving that he would 90 out and do a
little hunting. The rest of the party sup
posed that he would hunt close to the
camp, but when he failed to return by
night search was made, but without
avail. The search was kept up for
three days and then it became apparent
that it was useless. because more snow
had fallen and al tracks had been COW
cred. Not the slightest trace of the young
man had been found. The letter went
on to say that the valice and clothes
would be sent to the parents of the
Young man. The letter was signed by
Mr. Ford, who has charge of the crew,
and who said that he would have to go
thirty miles to mail it. The letter was

Young Turrittin had been at work in
tie big mill in this city during the sum-

father was on his deathbed. She did not

father, week ago, and this new sorrow
coming upon her is terrible blow. Two
or three years ago another son was
drowned near Mankato, and later son
was killed at LeMars, Iowa, while engaged
in braking for the Omaha road. Harold
is the last boy in the family, and if he
has not been able to save himself the
only child left is a daughter. Mr.. and
Mrs. Turrittin will have the sympathy
of all in their repeated sorrows.
Harold is bright young man, seven
teen years of age, and it is the hope Of
his parents that he was able to find his
way to some settlers cabin and is re-
naming there for an opportune time to
rejoin his party. In order to avoid any
chance of there being mistake, Mr.
Turritin last night tele9raphed to the
officials of kremmlin, asking for any
facts about the matter that they may
have learned. He expects a reply today
This case recalls that of the late Ar
den n. Drake, who was for years res
ident of Mankato and who moved with
his wife to Oregon two or three years
ago. One winter day he took some
lunch and his rifle and went out for a
hunt, but never returned. Search was
kept up for weeks, the lodges that he
belonged to prosecuting it, and his wife
assisting Othe extent of her ability,
but he was never again heard from,
neither were his remains ever found.
