J. J. ROOkEY'S CAREER.
He Has Wrestled for Twenty Years
With Great Success.

The Chicago Inter Ocean recently gave
half page writeup of John J. Rooney
the giant policeman and well known
wrestler, who has often appeared in
Mankato. Rooney's beat is at the cor
ner of jackson boulevard and State
street, the worst crossing on the down
town streets of Chicago. His duties are
to help the women with their packages
from stepping in front of the automo-
biles coming from both directions. He
has wide acquaintance, for in Rooney

years old, and engaged in many anna

His first match OF any consequence was

High School Graduates Render
a Pleasing Program.
LARGE AUDIENCE PRESENT
Confession, History and Prophesy,
Besides Other Interesting Say
ings; Gave a Funny Farce.

The class day exercises at the high
school building last evening were
among the best of the kind that have
ever been held there. The large as
| sembly room was completely filled, most
of the seats holding two. A curtain cut
off the stage during the first part of the
program, as it was furnished to repre-
sent a drawing room scene for the farce.
The program was opened by an instru-
mental solo, "Cujus Amman" by Miss
Cora Eueenia Leet. This was rendered
| in an artistic manner. The class his
| tory was then read by Miss Sara Louise
Rainerson, and consisted of the usual
amusing thoughts that recur to gradu
ates when they look back over their ca
| reers in school, as they stand at the
threshold ready to take their final de-
parture, filled with mixture of delight
| and regret. The class poem-several
pleasing verses-was read by Miss Lydia
Verena Deuber. Confessions of '06"
was the subject of an interesting paper
| by Miss Cora Belle Ennes.
A medley chorus, by the entire gradu-
program, and was roundly applauded.
The 1906 Scrap Basket was presented
jointly by Ben E. Bangerter, Henry Ger
Itch, Walter Roscoe Flachsenhar, Lydia
Marie Alpers, Clara Frances Hoy and
Frieda Mary Wiegand. The class
prophecy was an interesting production
and was read by Miss Mia Viola Stapf.
The last will and testament was read
by Miss Clara Marie Barker, and was
not only well prepared but was well
delivered.
Miss Selma Julia Fenske rendered the
piano solo, ''Valse Entrainante" by
Paul Wachs.. This was roundly applaud
ed. s..-
The farce, "Six Cups of Chocolate"
was presented with the following cast
of characters: Adeline Won Lindau,
German girl, Miss Nellie Marie Widell;
Marion Lee, transplanted Southern
girl, Miss Anna Gertrude Batcheller;
Dorothy Green, New England girl.
Miss Louella Mountain; Hester Beacon,
a Bostonian, Miss Mamie Perry; Beatrix
van Kortlandt, New Yorker, Miss
Agnes Eleanor Smith; jeanette Durand,
French girl, Miss Ethelyn Ida Morse.
This was rendered with drawing room
setting, and was a splendid production.
The characters were all well taken and
the play or scene made hit with all
present.
The class song was rendered by the
graduating class thus closing most in
teresting program.

CUT RATES FOR TRAVELLERS.
Railroad Companies to Make Better
Terms on Mileage Books.

lin response to demands made by Cap
tain Schafer of OwatOnna and other
commercial travellers who acted as rep
resentatives of the United Commercial
Travellers, the general passenger agents
of western lines have formulated a plan
reducing the amount of initial payments
of mileage books. Unders the new plan
5000 mile books will be sold for $50
with rebate of $3.50 for the cover,
instead of the present method, whereby
local tickets are purchased and a re-
fund of $3.50 made on receipts for the
distance.
1t is proposed to issue 500 mile books
for $3.50, without refund. The trav-
cling men have for long time urged
that the railroads had the use of their
money tied up in excess payments re-
fund later, in greater amount than
is necessary and the new plan will in
"a measure eliminate this feature of the
mileage book system. The railroads are
expected to take final action in ratif-
cation of the proposed change in the
near future.

TOO MUCH RAIN.
That is the Complaint of Mr.. johnson
of the Northwestern.

Winona, May 30.-There has been a
most unusual rainfall i'll South Dakota
in the present month of May. This is
the statement made by A. c. Johnson
the general agent for the Northwestern
road at this place, who is a close stu
dent of climate conditions with regard
to their effect on crops. He has collect
ed data covering the month of May
and finds that up to this morning the
total rainfall amounted to ten and a
half inches. In the month of April the
rainfall was seven inches in the state,
so that over seventeen inches of rain
has fallen within sixty days.
Mr.. johnson has collected data on the
rainfall in that state since 1890, and
finds that the average for the month
last few years the rainfall has been
much heavier than in the first part of
this sixteen year period.
Notwithstanding the heavy rains this
year the farmers have been able to get
in all their grain, and on the whole
the moisture has proved beneficial. They
have come at the season when rain is
most beneficial to the crops. As good
spring rains have been experienced in
South Dakota in the last five years it
would seem that the climate conditions
there are changing, and the change is
Il benefit to that state.
In going back twenty-five years, it is
found that there were spring rains in
the first five years of that period, and
then for fifteen years the rains were so
light as not to equal so per cent of
the average for the twenty five year per-
iod. In the remainder of the time the
rains have been heavier each year and it
would appear that the moisture is be-
ing conserved by the cultivation of the
soil.
In spite of the heavy rains of the
present year MIR. Johnson says that
there never was better promise of a
crop with more even, heavy and heal
thy stand of grain than at the present
time.
