College Girls Excuses.

"These are the days when the aver

says one of the large staff of women
at Wellesley, 'and she draws the
long bow now and then when she
wishes to get a few hours or day
of liberty for a ride, drive, foot
ball game, an attraction in the thea
ters or for any of a thousand and

once who asked permission to go
sarriage riding one afternoon with a
young man who was visiting in town.
"Are you engaged to him. we
asked her in a severe tone.
why, no. she replied very
thoughtfully, as if struck for the
first time by that aspect of the ques-
ton. Then she frightened up won
derfully and added: But maybe If
you will allow me to go riding

There was another girl who re-
quested leave to go riding with her
brother, and the woman of whom she
asked permission queried, looking
at her with an eye loaded with no
twinkle: And is your brother any

FARM HOUSE ROBBED.
One of Alleged Burglars is Caught in
This City.

From saturday Daily.
Late yesterday afternoon the police
department received a telephone message
from Sheriff Collins, asking it to be on
the lookout for couple OF young fell
lows who were wanted on the charge of hav
named Jordan, living near Waseca,
Thursday afternoon.
A few moments later Officer Bienaph,
on going out to search for the men in
case they might have come to this city,
saw young man who answered the de-
scription of one of the parties wanted.
The officer locked him up.
The young man said that his name
was Seymour johnson, and that his
home was at Whitewater, Wis. He is
seventeen years OF age. When search
ed he had two gilt crucifXes, such as
Catholics have in their houses. He
claimed that he was Catholic, but af-
forwards admitted that he was not, and
claimed that he got the crucifixes from
his sister, who had gotten them from a
girl friend.
Johnson came to the city yesterday
morning and tried to sell watch. He
had bunch of keys, etc. 1t is thought
that he had partner, but this man got
away. Johnson claimed that he left
home eleven days ago for Sleepy Eye,
but went to Chicago i'll order to take
a train for Sleepy Eye.
This noon a neighbor of Jordan arriv-
ed with Sheriff Collins and identified
johnson as one of the men whom he had
seen come away from the Jordan
house at the supposed time of the rob
berry. johnson was taken back to Wa
SEGA.

THREATEN TO MOVE.
Mr.. Cooper May Block Negotiations
With Manager Riggs.
From Saturdays Daily.


S. ID. Works received letter Monday
from c. IL. Higgs, asking that what
ever is done about buying the present
site of the tub factory in this city be
done at once. In reply to this, Mr..
Works submitted to Mr.. Higgs an offer
of $4,000 for the property, to be paid in
cash, and a new location to be donated
for the factory. No reply has yet been
received to this.
This morning II. r. Christensen re-
ceived letter from Manager G. p Coop
er of Minneapolis, saying that he had
recommended to Mr.. Higgs that the fac
tory be moved to the midway district
between st. Paul and Minneapolis. This
letter was put in pretty positive terms.
Since Mr.. Cooper's letter has become
public property, there has been consid
cradle feeling among the business men,,
who have been led to believe by Mr..
Higgs that the factory would be left in
Mankato if certain things were done,
and these conditions are being complied
with at considerable trouble. A move
has been started to use the money that
has been raised to buy the present plant
of the tub factory to build new fac
tory on the new site and thus keep the
employees i'll Mankato. If this was done,
a company would be organized to manu-
facture and handle creamery supplies of
all kinds, as this is the very center of a
fine territory for creamery business,
which is growing constantly. This move
is meeting with support, and will no
doubt be carried out if the desl with
the Mr.. Higgs falls through.
Some affect to believe that Mr.. Coop
er's letter was inspired by MIR. Higgs,
in order to hasten matters.

LOCATE YOUNGEST SOLDIER.
Question Is Settled; Ten-Year- Old
Drummer Boy.
From Mondays Daily.


The question as to the youngest
soldier of the Civil war is settled, ac
cording to the pension bureau officials,
in favor of Lyston ID. Howe of Streator,
H. The records of Mr. Howe shows that
he enlisted in Company B of the Fifty
fifth Illinois volunteers, when he was
ten years old, and that under this en-
listment and subsequent one he serv-
ed three years in the Union army.
The attention of Commissioner War
ner was called to the record of this sol
der by the veteran medical referee of
the pension Office, Dr. Samuel Houston,
who in reference to the case, said: Il
have handled many thousands OF cases,
and this is by far the youngest whose
case has come into my hands"
Throughout the country for years
there has been rivalry as to who was
the youngest enlisted man in the army,
many hundreds of soldiers having claim
ed that honor, but it is thought that
none can show by the record OF service
that we was younger than Howe, who is
Just now in the prime of manhood, be
ing fftysix years old.
Mr.. Howe has been on the pension
for a number of years, but recently he
applied for an increase. In his applica
ton he states that he was born Aug
p, 1850, and the record of his service in
the war department shows that he en-
listed i'll the Illinois regiment June >,
1861. At this enlistment he gave his
age as eleven years, and the record of
his height shows him to have been only
four feet and four inches. 1t is thought
that he slightly Exaggerated his age to
succeed in getting into the service. He
was put down as a drummer boy, and
his service lasted for four months and
fourteen days, when he was discharged
on account of disability, the real reason
being "on account of extreme youth
fulness, being only ten years of age"
Young Howe again enlisted in the
same company and regiment Feb. 2,
1862, four months after his discharge.
This time he served until March 81,
1865, when his regiment was mustered
out of service. At this re-enlistment he
was eleven years five months and fiji
teen days old. Under both enlistments
he served three years and ten months.
The official records also show that
during the entire service of Howe he
was not absent from hisNregiment on ac-
count of sickness or for any other rea-
son. He was sick at Camp Shiloh,
April 80, 1862, and also from Deem
Der 81, 1862, until June 80, 1853, and
again October 81 1868.
