Pekin, Feb. Am evidence of the ten

on the occasion of the birthday of EN-
peror William While Yuan Shi Kai.
viceroy of the province OF Chi L. was

municipal authorities the British consul

to the Chinese officials, who promised
leniency.

Agitation Against Foreigners.
The dowager empress received the dip
lomatic body today, the Chinese new
year. At the audience she displayed her
customary cordially. The relations be-
tween the court and the legations are in
no way changed. The open agitation
against foreigners is confined to Central
and Southern China, and it is anticipated
that troubles if they occur, will be linn
tied to those sections, as "Boxerism'' was
limited to the north. Those whose pre-
dictiOns would carry greatest weight,
however, are most reluctant TO express
opinions.
Undoubtedly all China is at white heat
of political discussion. Such intense feel
ing as prevails on the part of the inhab-
itantS has seldom been seen before and
makes any result possible. A local out
break may precipitate general hostilities.
No organized movement against foreign
ers is to be discovered except the Ameri-
can boycott, but the national feeling is
growing stronger and the peculiar status
of foreigners in China affords many
points Of friction. The court has every
tnducement to preserve friendliness at

cow ATE PARIS GREEN.
Poison Transferred to the Baby Who
Drank the Milk.

Owatonna, Oct. Bottle eight months
old baby girl of Mr.. and Mrs. Morris
Connor, of the West Side, is at present
lowering between life and death, as the
result of drinking the milk, taken from
the family COW which had, in some I'M
known way, got Paris green in its food.
A physician is in constant care of the
infant and while he entertains hopes
for its recovery, he states that it will
take from twelve to fourteen days to
determine whether the child will live or
die.
The poisoning of the baby is one of
the most peculiar cases that has ever
been reported in this city. Mr.. Connor
used Paris green this summer in his
garden, and some of it was left in lie
barn in which the cow was stabbed. In
some unknown way this poison became
mixed up in the food of the cow and the
animal ate heartily of it. Friday morn
ing Mrs. Conner MIXED the animal but
only succeeded in obtaining about cup
of milk. The animal was apparently
in perfect normal health, and as she
had been giving but little milk before
Mrs. Connor was not very much sur
prised that she could only obtain a cup
full. Later she gave the milk to the
baby, which was soon afterwards tax
ell with cramps and became terribly
ILL.,
The condition of the child was so pc
culiar that the attending physician de-
cided that she was poisoned. The only
solution reached was that it must have
been done through the milk of the cow.
An examination of that animal showed
that it was apparently i'll and in this
way it was found out that it had eaten
Paris green.
1t is believed that the larger share
of the poison did not get into the milk
and if this is the case the baby may
survive.

Of a Public Official.
From SATURDAYS Daily.

From Saturdays Daily.
Gustaf A. Blomberg, Jr., former clerk
of the district court of Nicollet county,
is under arrest at Billings, Mont,
charged with the transportation of
the public funds of the county.
The grand jury OF Nicollet county,
Oct. Is, found an indictment against
Blomberg, charging him with making
false reports to the county auditor COW
erino the annual statement of fees re-
ceived by him.
Blomberg reporteds that he had col
lected during the year 1905 1928, to
which he was entitled. He was also en-
titled under the law to the difference
between 1928 and 81 900. The county
auditor, thinking this report was cor
rect, made out warrant for the bal
ance in favor of Blomberg.
It later developed that Blomberg had
actually collected $95l.9O during the
year, which he failed to report. This
report was made in January, 1906. Dur
ing the past summer Blomberg left St.
Peter for Billings, Mont, where he was
located last week.
Sheriff John McAIillen, armed with a
requisitiOn for the return of BlOmberg,
left Thursday night for Billings, where
Blomberg is under arrest to bring him
back.
Some time ago Blomberg made an
assault upon the present. clerk of the
court, William Mallgren, and this act
lost him the sympathy of grea; many
people, who had condoned his other
shortcomings.

CHARLES E. BROWN
Is Candidate for County Commits

Is Ca0toate TOT OOuUIy SOtututS-
sioner Fousth District.
From Tuesdays Daily
The subject of this sketch came to
Blue Earth county twenty three years
ago, locating on farm one and one
half miles west of Vernon where he has
continued until the present time. He is
one of the most successful and thrifty
farmers of this section of the county.
straightforward, honest and conscien-
tious, he has the good will and conf
dence of every one with whom he has
had business relations. For fifteen years
he has been member of the school
board He has done valiant service for
the republican party all his life, and
served the party as member of the
county central committee for about ten
wears, and also has held the office of
township trustee, in all of which he has
acquitted himself with credit. He is in
the prime of life, and will bring into
the office of county commissioner b
well balanced mind, broad and compre-
hensive enough to see the needs of the
district and the county with an I'M
selfish view, and, backbone enough to
stand firm in his convictions of what is
best, irrespective of the wishes or in
ducements of those who may have IAN
axe to grind"
His location is an ideal one for the
county commissioner, being almost ex-
actly in the center of the district For
many years Amboy, in the extreme
southern part and the past four years
the extreme northeast corner of the dis
trict has held the office and now it is
simply Justice to give it to the center.
Charley Brown is just the kind of
man that Blue Earth county needs at
the head of her county board affairs,
and will receive solid republican vote.

From Wednesdays Daily.
G. Fl. Piper, one of the best-known
residents of Blue Earth county, died
at his home in Garden City township,
at l:30 o'clock this aftefnoon after
brief attack of pneumonia. The death
of Mr.. Piper was expected by his fam
lily, as his condition had been critical
for several days and the attending
physicians had given up all hope of his
recovery.
Mr.. Piper was born in Alton, N. 81.
He came to st. Anthony Falls with his
parents when three years of age. When
he was eight years old the parents set
tied in Blue Earth county, taking up
homestead in Garden City township,
which afterward became the property of
G. Fl. Piper and on which he died today.
Mr.. Piper was fiftyfour years of age.
Mr.. Piper is survived by widow and
eight children, Caldwell, Monty, attena-

Perhaps the most conscientious and
hard working public official in Mime
sofa today, is Hon. Charles f. Staples,
one of the present members of the board
of railroad and warehouse commission
ers, and candidate for reelection.
The railroad and warehouse commits
ion of Minnesota is the most import
ant department of our state govern
ment, and the tireless energy, ability
and fairness displayed by Mr.. Staples
since he became a member of said COM
mission, make him an invaluable ac-
QUESTION to the board, and a represent
alive of the people whose services they
could i'll afford to lose at this time.
Mr. Staples is an intelligent, prac
tical farmer, living today upon the sold
home place" where he was born, and
where he played as boy. He believes,
and acts upon the belief, that "public
office is a public trust"
While Mr.. Staples possesses none of
the characteristics of the demagogue, he
has always been an earnest advocate of
the cause of the people and has always
firmly opposed the illegal entertainments
upon the rights of the people, of special
interests. In the many hearings before
the railroad and warehouse commission,
wherein shippers and others have had
cause for complaint against the rail
roads of this state for unjust discrim
nation, Mr.. Staples has always meet
the reasonable expectation of his friends,
by a consistent attitude in behalf of the
people, and that without being unfair or
unjust.
A prominent shipper of Minnesota
said to be the writer, few days ago:
1--WE can always count upon the hearty
cooperation of Mr.. Staples when we
have just cause of complaint against
any of the railroads of this state-it
would be public calamity if Mr.. Sta
pies were not reelected"
Upon all the public questions, agitat-
ing the minds of the people today, Mr..
Staples, with an intellect keen, and
Judgment mature, seems intuitively and
naturally to espouse the cause of the
masses against the progressive encroach-
ment of predatory wealth.
His position upon the great question
The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1906-11-02

of the regulation of railroad rates is
well known in this state and nation
He favors the reasonable regulation
of railroad rates by both state and fed
eral statutes. Of the many witnesses
who appeared last winter before the
house committee of interstate COM
merce at Washington, to enlighten the
members of said committee upon the
question of the government regulation
Of railroad rates, none appeared to bet
ter advantage, nor discussed more in
diligently the matters being investi-
gated by that committee at that time,
than Mr.. Staples. Among many other
suggestions made by Mr.. Staples at
that hearing, he was reported in the
eastern papers at that time to have
said: eve find that the unifcation of
railway interests has progressed to such
an extent, through actual consolidation,
control of stock in previously competing
lines, the evolution of stockholding in
terests-more often called unity of in
terest-that the open competition be-
tween carriers, which has previously OPP
Grated to keep down rates, and GER
tainly prevented wholesale increase in
rates, has been very largely suppressed.
II follows, therefore, that without effect
i've competition in railway rates, and
with no effective law for public control,
the public is really defenseless and must
submit to conditions often manifestly
unfair"
Charles F. Staples was born Aug. 4,
1856, and is now in the prime of useful
manhood He has held many minor
offices, school, town and county-and
always performed the duties incident
thereto to the complete satisfaction of
his friends and constituents. In 1892
he was elected member of the Mime
sofa legislature, and in the four con-
secutive terms which he served in that
office, he made a reputation for pains
taking efficiency in the advocacy of
meritorious measures that caused his
name to become a household word in
the great commonwealth of Minnesota.
Mr.. Staples is held in the highest es-
TEEN by the people of the state of Min
nesota, and will be reelected to his
present position by an overwhelming
majority.

George Item, of LIE Sueur, young
man twenty-one years of age, son of
Gus Item of LIE Sueur, was instantly
killed Saturday by the accidental dis
charge of his own rifle just as he was
drawing up on shore boat in which he
had been out hunting. Paul Kast, lad
of fifteen, who had been out with Item,
relates that he had just stepped on
shore, and gone along up the river rod
or so with the shotgun, while Item was
securing the boat. Hearing shot, Kast
turned around and, just as he did so.
item exclaimed: "I'm shot!" or sT'm

fell dead. 1t is supposed that item was
holding the rife with the muzzle to-

struck against the boat.
