TEACHERS MUST BE GOOD.
New Rule Adopted for the SUNNI er
School Students.

J. w. Olsen, state superintendent of
public instruction, has made himself
solid with the future Minnesota voter.
TO be sure, that voter may now only
be digging his bare, brown toes into
the moist earth and smiling an eXult-
ant smile But in his mind he is pat
ting Mr. Olsen on the back For Mr..
Olsen has issued a pamphlet that is the
prince of pamphlets. To the coming
voter it is nothing more nor less than
paper which is going to make teach
er" stand around some herself. Mr.. o.
sen proposes to have model department
in the summer schools this year. And
the purpose of the pamphlet he has sent
out is to impress upon the teachers of
summer schools the necessity of insist
ing upon the same code of conduct that
they would expect from a school of chill

NO MONEY; NO WORK.
G. n. Warner immigration Agent
Would Like to See Ghost Walk.

st. Paul, May &C H. Warner, sup
erintendent of immigration under State
Auditor Iverson, has resigned. The
resignation was rendered today and
takes effect at once.
The reason assigned is that the APP

money will be available until next Aug
ust. The office was created by the last
legislature and Mr.. Warner has been
the incumbent ever since.
Mr.. Iverson announced today that no
successor to Mr.. Warner would be nam
ed for the present, and that the work
of this department would be cared for
by the regular staff, until more money
became available.

HOW THEY LEFT.
e. j.. Whipple Relates Experience
Had at La Crosse.

From Mondays Daily.
E. j. Whipple spent Sunday in this
/ city, and left this afternoon for Winona,
where he expects to open an office for
the practice of chiropractics. Whether
he will be in partnership there with
Mr.. johnson, his former partner, is not
vet decided. The Free Press recently
reproduced from The La Crosse, Wis,
that city. Mr.. Whipple states that they
left upon the advice of their attorneys,
as their trial on the charge of practic
ing osteopathy without license would
have been expensive to them, and if
they won they could have been arrested
again on the same charge and had the
expense all over again. The osteopath-
ic member of the state board lives at
La Crosse, so they were in harder luck
there than they would have been else
where.
Mr.. Whipple states that his bondsmen
became suspicious that he was about to
leave and went to have him taken into
custody again, but a friend tipped this
off to him. 1t was thirty minutes to
train time, and he had just time to take
valise office coat and batteries and
left on the train for Minnesota. His
partner was to sell the furniture and
leave on the afternoon train but when the
officers learned that Mr.. Whipple had
left they started to get Johnson. The
latter was also told by the same in
formant that something was doing" and
he walked across the bridge with only a
small valise, after hastily selling the
$3.50 worth of furniture for $40. AS
he approached the bridge he looked back
and saw the constable coming on a BIZ
cycle and so he ran across the bridge
without stopping to pay toll and got
into Minnesota territory.
The firm had their trunks packed and
in charge of an express company and
tagged with their own names, to be ship
!! ped at once. A printing firm which they
were owing a small sum attached the
trunks, but this claim was settled and
the trunks were tagged under assumed
names, but before they could be ship
ped the firms attorneys attached them
to secure bill for 5000 professional
services. This still remains unadjusted.
The contents of the trunks are valued
at $50.

SUSTAINED JUDGE WEBER.
Supreme Court Stands BY Him in
Phillips Case.

From Thursdays Daily.
The supreme court has ordered dis
charge of the writ of certeriorari in the
case of the state ex-rel. Fred b. Phillips,
petitioner, VS.. the district court of Red
wood county, respondent, and as re-
suit fine of $3.50 imposed by that
tribunal for contempt will have to stand
The case is one of long standing and
grew out of suit between the Phillips
family and Hans Mo for the possession
of farm. In the trial the Phillips
were worsted. Pending eviction proceed
ings an order preventing the removal of
any of the crops was secured and this
Fred. B. Phillips, who is st. Paul at
torney, disregarded
Judge Weber imposed a $3.50 fine for
contempt and this Phillips appealed
from. His contention was that the fine
was excessive and unwarranted. Justice
syllabus says:
An action was commenced by the rep
resentatives of reIator to have deed
to certain premises declared to be a
mortgage. The action was decided adj
versely to the plaintiffs and Judgment
was finally entered therein May 18th,
1904, whereupon plaintiffs in that action
| made application for new trial upon
the theory that it was in the nature
of an action in ejectment for possession
of the land, and final determination
therein was reached adversely to them
Oct. goth, 1905. While such actions were
pending, defendant in that action sued
for possession of the premises and sub
sequently commenced another action to
enJoin plaintiffs in the original action,
who were in possession of the land, from
trespassing thereon, and from interfer-
ing with his control and management
thereof.
NoihSluCHC NIIll Illc Ol
the latter action an interlocutory in
junction was issued against the rela-
tors representatives, enioining them
from trespassing upon the land and from
in any way injuring, cutting or carry
ing away any of the crops, and from
hindering and interfering with plaintiff
in his use of the land. 1t was claimed
by plaintiff that relator violated the
terms of the writ, and proceedings were
taken before the district court to have
him adjudged in contempt of court, and
upon such hearing the court found and
adjudged that the relator willfuIly vio-
lated the writ by trespassing upon the
land and converting and carrying away
the crops thereon and interfering with
plaintiff in his use of the premises and
the grain. A fine of $3.50 was imposed,
with Imprisonment in the county Jail
not exceeding six months in case of de-
fault in payment of the fine.

T0BIs's NARROW ESCAPE.
r ,ilroad Magnate Has a Strenuous
Time at GAINESVILLE Last Week.

From Thursdays Daily.
When in this place last week h. l..
Tobie had rather an exciting experience,
something that does not fall to the lot
of man very often and one that never
came to him before although he has led
Il strenuous life in railroad circles for
10 these many years, says The James
vile Argus. He drove up to the barn
door at the Commercial house, jumped
out and started to enter the barn. He
got as far as the door sill and was
standing just in front of the horses.
Suddenly great dark colored animal
lunged out at him, an animal that had
every appearance under the spell of the
moment, the apparation it might seem,
of being lion or tiger. The sudden
onslaught not only frightened Mr.. To-
bic but also frightened his horses. In
stinctively in the pace of what might be
F.! termed lightning jerker he grabbed
Il large pitchfork that happened to stand
! by the door and at the small instant
frightened his grip upon the lines which
| were still in his hands. The horses
started down the street dragging Mr.
| Tobie, pitchfork and all. Every moment
| he kept his weather eye out with fork
in hand expecting to be eaten up by the
savage animal. Luckily the horses were
brought to standstill in front of d
fence and as he gathered himself up he
discovered to his amusement that he was
considerably more scared than hurt al
though his clothes bore evidence of q
hard tussle He righted the team and
returned to the barn only to find the
animal barking at the end of a chain.

new ULM BOYS DISAPPEAR.
ills Feared That They Were Drown :
ed in Minnesota River.
From Mondays Daily.

from MONDAY s Ddly-
Two young boys, sons oh Christ Lind
meyer and Fred Zangel, aged nine and
eleven, respectively, have disappeared
from their homes in New Ulm and moth
ing has been heard from them. Wednes-
day they were sent to school and the
boys gathered some old iron and sold it
to "a junk dealer in the city, getting
twenty five cents by the operation.
With this amount they bought some
fishing tackle for fifteen cents and some
fruit with the other ten and were seen
going towards the river.
The anxious parents, their friends and
the police have searched the banks of
the Minnesota and Cottonwood rivers
for any signs which would indicate that
they were drowned while fishing but
to no avail.
The Lindmeyer boy wore grey suit
white jacket and a cloth cap and the
Zangel boy wore dark suit.
Both are of slim build and have dark
hair. There is no apparent reason why
the boys should absent themselves from
home.
The search is being continued and the
farmers in the vicinity were notified by
telephone to be on the lookout. The
parents at first thought that the lads
were stopping with some boy friends
and did not notify the police until sew

AT VILLAGE EXPENSE.
North Mankato Council Decid es. to
Buy and Put Up House Numbers.

From Mondays Daily.
The North Mankato council held a
regular meeting Saturday evening and
transacted good deal of business. 1t
was decided to enforce the dog license
ordinance, but ten days notice will be
given before the enforcement of the or
dinance is begun. If terms can be made
with the dog catcher of this city he
will be engaged to act as the North
Mankato catcher also. Recorder Ander
son is prepared to issue licenses at any
time.
The council voted to purchase house
numbers sufficient for all of the houses
in the village, and to have them put on.
The residents have been slow to do this,
and it was thought that as the cost
would not be great it would be better
to solve the matter at once. The pres
ent miXup in the numbers, some houses
having the old numbers and others the
new ones, often causing Implications, has
1cSullcu Ill SlcdC uCoi VI iiNoii' Sii
ence. The numbers will be uniform,
three inches high and will be of illum-
mum.
1t was voted to pay $500 on the vii
lage debt, which leaves but $500 out
standing.
A letter was received from Congress
man C. r. Davis saying that he had
brought the matter of protecting the
north bank of the river before the war
department and expected to hear some
thing definite in a, few days, when he
would further notify the council.
1t was decided to place cement walk
in front of the village hall property.

ROUNDED UP BAD TRAMPS.
Bunch Of Hoboes Have Things Own
Way on Train.

From Thursdays Daily.
Eighteen tramps boarded an Omaha
freight train at lie Sueur at daylight
yesterday morning and practically had
their own way on it as far as they
wanted to ride.
Five of them went through, to st.
Paul, and three of these were captured
after the brakeman had telephoned an
alarm from the Western avenue cross
ing.
John Bell, the brakeman, says the
gang got on at LIE Sueur and terrorized
him, the leader, Edward Fowler, threat.
ening him with revolver and "a knife.
He says the gang scattered at differ
ent places along the line, riding as far
as they wanted to.
Just before the train reached st. Paul,
Bell says he got hold of revolver and
penned up the remaining five of the
gang until the police arrived. Then they
scattered, but three of them were cap
tured. They gave the names of Edward
Fowler Ernest Lindell and Sigrid Olson.
Olson and Lindell say they have been
working in a brickyard at Blakely,
MINI. Fowler says he is docking for
work."
As he was arrested, Fowler threw
something away which is believed to
have been revolver, although it was
not found at the time.
The trio were arraigned in police
court at st. Paul late yesterday after
noon.
