BOY Is RELEASED
Habeas Corpus Proceedings Failing,
Fine and Costs Are Paid.
From Mondays Daily


As stated by the Free Press Saturday
the arguments on the application for a
writ of habeas corpus to secure the free
dom of Charles Reinsburg of Madison
Lake. were heard before Judge Cray
Saturday afternoon. The application
was based upon two grounds; that the
venue had been changed from the village
10 The township Justice and that iii SO
doing jurisdiction was lost; and that the
commitment was not properly drawn
Judge Cray today denied The applica-
ton for the writ. and in so doing over
ruled both points. He found the com
mitmeut legal.
This afternoon Julius Reinsburg. father
of the lad, paid the fine and costs
amuTtine to about $50 in all. and they
returned on the afternoon train to Madi-
son Lake. He states that he is convinc
ed that his son is innocent of the charge
that he frightened Il horse and thereby
caused Il runaway, and that if the APP
peal to the district court had been pro
perly taken the boy would have beer
cleared in five minutes. He was at Fer
gus Falls at the time. serving on the
federal Jury. and a mistake was made in
t'iN FINhi tii'tC touiu liou Dt lct-
titled and the case was dismissed. He
was away from home the day that the
officer took his son TO jail for non pay
ment of the fine and costs, or he would
not have allowed the boy to 90 to Jail.
but would have settled the matter before
the commitment was necessary. He feels
that some of the people of Madison
Lake have it in" for him for some rea
son, and that they took advantage of
circumstances TO bring the charge against
his son.

Albert W. Rankin. inspector of state
graded school. recommends a renewal of
the agitation for free text books. A bill
for such was defeated in the last legis-
lature.
In his annual report just out he says
they save the community money and
should be adopted. He figures the aver
ace annual expense at 80 cents per pu-
pill.
The abandonment of recesses bv some
of the school authorities, Mr.. Rankin
thinks is wrong. "All work and no play

and he advocates the adoption of a law
making reeesses compulsory.

ST. Paul Dispatch: One error was
found by the state canvassing board in
ooino' over the returns from Blue Earth
county. In giving the total vote cast
the number specific was Ala, when it
should be 1898. An error in addition
was responsible. As result OF tins
error the road and bridge amendment
lost in that county. for instead OF carry
ing by vote of 327, it was defeated
bv vote of 2G5. From unofficial re-
turns this amendment has carried in the
state by small margin and it cannot
suffer many setbacks like the above and
remain safe.

HOTEL sCORCHED.
American House Has Close Call From
Fire.


Fire.
From Fridays Daily.
Fire at shortly before seven O'Clock
this morning caused considerable. damage
at the American House, and but for its
prompt discovery and the good work of
the fremen might have done great
deal Of damage to the building. Frank
Schimmelpfennig, who clerks for Mayor
Taylor, was on his way to the MAYORS
new store when he noticed smoke COM
ing out from under the caves. He mott
fled j. w. Miller and family, who CON
duct the house, and they in turn awolle
the guests, and there was Il hasty exit
from the building. Mr.. Schimmelpfen-
mig telephoned to the central fire sta
ton, and a general alarm was sent in.
+ The firemen were delayed slightly by
finding one of the hydrants frozen with
sleet, although the city officials have
been making an endeavor to keep them
all in working order Two streams of
water were turned on. and the fire was
soon gotten under control.
1t is rather difficult to estimate the
damage to the building and the loss on
furniture and clothing. Mrs. Miller lost
her entire wardrobe except what cloth
ing she was wearing. and one or two of
the boarders lost some clothing. The
damage to the building will doubtless
amount to $500. 1t is owned by w. C.
Hoerr and insured with w. L. Comstock.
The furniture and household goods are
insured for $500 with h. NJ Zuel. and
this will probably cover the loss.
The fire seems to have started from
the chimney near where the dining room
stove pipe enters it, and to have worked
through the partitions up to the second
story where the wing joins the main
building

A rear end collision of two freight
trains on the Omaha road between But

brakeman named Parker. whose home
was at st. James, was sitting in the ca
boose OF the first train. when the en-
CINE of the second train ploughed
through the caboose. He was killed. but
it does not appear, that any ore else
was injured. Several merchandise cars
and three stock cars loaded with hogs
for the stock yards at South st. Paul
were wrecked. Some of the hogs were
killed. and others were so badly injured
that. they had to lie shot The engine that
ran into the train ahead was also BADLY
damaged.

A Republican Quandary.

The Republican machine in Ohio BY
indorsing President Roosevelt an(
Senators Dick and Foraker co-equally
has produced political dilemma. The
Ohio Republican voter who believes
that railroad rate regulation is for his
own and the public, good, must vote
against his own ticket to indOrse such
sentiments. The voter who believes
with Senator Foraker that the rail
roads have vested interests that
should not be disturbed, and with the
same sentiments of the lukewarm Dick.
can vote the Republican machine tick.

will virtually flout the president for
being in such company. The Dick and

Joined forces in their emergency and
have forced this Quandary on the Ohio
Republican voters by forcing their CO,
equal Endorsement with the president
Boss Cox and all the corrupt elements
of the Republican party of Ohio are

COAT OF PAINT SAVED BANK.
Clever Device Stopped Run That
Would Have Been Disastrous.

Runs on banks, as all the world
knows, are often stopped or restricted
u the oldest ways
A rich bank knew that a run vas
to set in on g. certain Monday morn
ing-for it had been robbed of some
postage stamps on Saturday night,
and the robbery had been exaggerated
In the newspaper reports-and if this
run was not kept within reasonable
limits the bank would have to close
Its doors. 1t had plenty of money, but
not plenty of cash. 1t needed "a hours
time.
Before sunrise on Monday morning
a man put fresh coat of paint on the
front doors of the bank, on the wall
panels, and on the counters. The re-
suit was that the people who made
the run on Monday made rather q
walk Of it. They wanted their money.
but they rushed no one. On the con-
trary, they came on with caution and
deliberation. So careful were they
lest they get paint on their clothes
that it took longer to pay off one of
them than it would have taken or
ainarily to pay five.
This is one of many odd tricks
whereby, in run, bank has saved
itself from wreck.

NERVOUS DEBILITY
a Scranton Woman Tells How Or.
Williams Pink Pills Made Her
Well and Strong.

Nervous debility is the common name
for what the doctors term neurasthenia.
1t is characterized by mental depression,
fits of the "blues," or melancholy, loss
of energy and spirits. The patient s ewes
become dull, the pink fades from the
cheeks, the memory becomes defective SO
that it is difficult to recall dates and
names at will. Some of these symptoms
only may be present or all of them. The
remedy lies in toning up the nervous
system and there is no medicine better
adapted for this purpose than DR..
Williams Pink Pills.
Mrs. Jane j. Davies, of No. 314 War
rem street, Scranton, Pa, says: "Some
years ago l became greatly reducec N
health and strength and my nervous
system became so debiG +ated that felt
wretched. Icould not rest or sleep well
at night and woke up as weary and
languid in the morning as ] was when I
went to bed. My head ached in the
morning and often there was pain in
my right side which was worse when I
sat down. My nerves were OH edge all
the time, every little noise bothered me
and was generally miserable Then I
decided to try DIR. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People, as my husband had taken
them with good results, and they did
wonders for me. Now l have no more
pain III my side, no more headaches, I
sleep well and feel strong and able to
do my work"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills cured Mrs.
Davies and they can do just as much
for other weak, pale, ailing men or
women who are Slipping into hopeless
decline. They strike straight at the root
of all common diseases caused by poor
and impoverished blood.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are sold by all
druggists, or will be sent postpaid, on
receipt of price, so cents per box, six
boxes for $3.50, by the DR.. Williams

President Guides the Machine.

That the Republican congressional

dominated by the president is shown
by Chairman Sherman saying he did
not know exactly why he was called

Roosevelt wanted to tell Chairman
Sherman that the 100000 remaining
