SAYS THINGS ARE DOING
Chene Scents a Political Plot to Nom :
mate Peter Hanson.

Sheney, The Minneapolis Journa
political writer, says that something is
in the wind:
"Under the surface deal is being
arranged for consummation at the Du.
lnuth convention, which is not in the in
terests of any announced candidate fol-
governor. As near as can be learned
the enterprise is backed by various ''bus-
mess interests" which have decided that
jacobson will not do as candidate
and that some of the other entries are
not much more to their liking. They
are working together, but under the ban
ner of various candidates, and with the
intention of securing a good-sized ely
ing squadron" of delegates, which can
be delivered at the proper time where
they will do the most good. Unknown
to the candidates themselves, men who
are ostensibly working for them are real
ly working to get hold of their delegates
dHu ehSh W ihS
Sat this time the Underground move
ment is said to have Peter E. Han
son for its rallying point, and unless
plans are changed the votes are to be
thrown to him after the first ballot. The
Hanson candidacy is not to be announced
or advertised to any extent before the
convention meets, but will be sprung on
the convention after fruitless first bal
lot Enough delegates will be in the
flying squadron to start stampede,
which would be likely to bring in
many others.
''The program does not call for any
pre- convention contest. No fight is to
be made at caucuses or county conven-
tions. The delegates who will be in the
deal will 60 on as Block men, Cole men,
Somerville men, Stevens men, or even as
jacobson men, just as circumstances die
tate. The details of the deal are be-
ginning to leak out, however, and are in
possession of some of the candidates"

GIRL WAS NOT EIGHTEEN.
But Love Prompted the Sweetheart to
Say She Was.

Albert Lea, May 23.-Thursday, May
II, young man giving his name as
John P. Dezell appeared in the office of
the clerk of the court and made known
the fact that he was DESTROYS of secur-
ing a marriage license and said his in
tended brides name was Kathryn A.
Skate and that both resided in Free.
born county. As is his custom, and in
accordance with law, Clerk Hayes took
the applicants oath as to the age of
the parties and the desired document
was secured. The report is that the
next day the young couple were united
in marriage, the ceremony taking place
at Freedom. Thus far everything had
passed without obstacle but it seems
there was decided opposition to the mar
riage on the part of the relatives of
the bride and when they discovered
what had taken place they secured a
warrant for the arrest of the groom on
the charge of perjury, it being alleged
that the bride was not eighteen years
of age when the oath to that effect was
made. Monday afternoon he was ar
raigned before a justice in Alden on the
charge and Clerk HAYES was subpoenaed
as witness and the result was the dis
comfitted bridegroom was bound over to
await the action of the grand jury in
December, bail being fixed at $500, which
was furnished.

UNCLE SANS LOTTERY.
Shoshone Indian Reservation to Be
Thrown Open to Settlement.

Chicago, May 22.-Inside information
has been received by the Burlington
passenger department that the govern
ment will open registration offices for
the Shoshone Indian reservation on July
l5 The registration will continue for
about two weeks, and the drawings will
take place some time late in July, or
at the latest by Aug. l.
c. R. Robertson, mayor of Worland,
Wyo., is in Chicago today, having re-
turned from Washington, where he Wis
tied the general land department of the
government. From agents of the depart
ment he learned that the presidents
proclamation regarding the opening of
the reservation would come in a few
days and would designate Worland and
Thermopolis, Shoshone and Lander as
the places for registration.
Worland and Thermopolis are at
northwestern corner of the reservation,
but are not in it. Lander is south of
the reservation, near its southeastern
corner, while Shoshone is in the south
ern portion of the reservation.
There are approximately l,l50,000
acres of land to be opened for settle
ment, but it is said that the government
is already surveying the reservation
with view to an irrigation project
Both the Burlington and the North
western roads are constructing lines in
to the reservation as rapidly as possible
The Burlington has pushed an ex-
tension from Frannie south through the
Big Horn basin to Worland, and by the
date of registration will have this line
extended to Thermopolis. The company
has also surveyed line extending south
westerly across the reservation from
Thermopolis to Shoshone.
From the south the Northwestern is
hurrying reservationward, and the lines
of that company will soon reach Lander
and Shoshone.

Will Give a Dramatic Recital in This
City on Monday. ~


The Evening News of Los Angeles in
an editorial remarked: "Frederick
Warde, who probably has done more
than any living man in the last quarter
of century to popularize the study of
Shakespeare in this country, concludes,
this evening, a remarkable course of
eight recitals. As a physical undertake
ing alone, and as a feat of memory, Mr.
Warde's achievement is phenomenal. The
tragedian recited and discoursed concern
ing six of the great Bard's masterpieces.
apparently with the readiest ease-in
all, sixteen solid hours of Illuminating
dissertation without shadow of repeti-
ton! But it is Mr.. Warde's careful and
comprehensive preparation of Shapes
peare's works into forms easily digest
ed by the people that is the vital fea-
ture of his cordse. Mr.. Warde without
detracting one iota from the dignity
and purity of his text, Eliminates it by
his own intelligence and the fruit of his
thirty-five years experience as Shapes
pearean actor. He tells us the story,
the motive and the subtleties of each
play SO that the poets plan is revealed
to the simplest child. As an educational
factor throughout the country, the value
of Mr. Warde's recitals cannot be ex-
cital in this city on Monday evening
under the auspices of the Elks.

Farmers Must Not Expect Too Mucf
From Mail Man.

The fourth assistant postmaster gen.
eral has issued an order providing that
after July l, rural delivery carriers,
when making their trips, viii visit and
examine only. those boxes for which they
have mail for delivery and those on
which the signals are displayed to indi-
cate that there is mail for dispatch.
Those patrons who are now maintain
ing mail boxes on which there are no
signals will be obliged to procure some
sort of device which will serve as q
signal to carriers.

ed that the delivery and collection of
mail along rural routes will be greatly

majors death the $40 was found in his
lodging, in a letter addressed to George
Silver, in Chicago, saloonkeeper and a
friend of the negro minstrel, who had
undertaken to get some money together
for this purpose. There was nothing
else of value in the room, not even an

MUST BE UP AND DOING.
Mankato Business Men Should Get
After the Alphabet.

The work of grading progresses on
the line this side of Cream in Waseca
county and the track and bridging
between Manchester and Freeborn are
soon to be widened to standard dimen-
$ rs, says The Albert Lea Standard.
Several different routes have been sur
veyed from the line in Manchester into
Albert Lea, plans and estimates and
costs of each one have been forwarded
to capitalists in the east who are fur
nishing the money to build the road
and whose engineers will decide which
route to adopt. From certain authori-
tative intimations The Standard learns
that the line most likely to be adopted
passes west of the brick and tile works
directly south and crosses the Milwau-
kee track Just east of the cemetery,
thence turns east and follows the Mill
waukee track to point west of the Al
bert Lea Touring mill where it takes
turn north and connects with the track
to the Union depot. Owing to the fact
that it will cost $2,5OO,OOO to build
line into Mankato it seems most proba-
BILE that it will not be built in there but
will be built directly north to st. Cloud.
The Free Press has its suspicious that
the st. Peter people are after the = Az
phabet" road, and it means that Manka
to business men must be up and doing
if they want the road built into this
city.

Increase In Fines Collected.

There is no provision in the statutes
for a published statement of moneys
received and disbursed through the
county attorneys office, so "A few days
ago we asked Mr.. Walters for a state
ment for publication.
He informs us that the records show
that during the eighteen months which
he has held the office. there has been
paid into the county treasury, fifteen
fines, amounting to $375. For ten
years prior tn the commencement of
his term, only tw%enty-nine fines
amounting To S423 was paid into the
treasury. This shows nearly AS much
receipts from fines in criminal cases
in eighteen months as in ten years be-
fore, an increase of 500 per cent on the
average yearly receipts from fines.

statement of the affairs of the office

Brothers and Sisters.

1t has been proved again and again
that a boy without a sister is much to
be pitied: that n girl without a brother
is to be condoled with. And why? Be-
cause the mutual society improves
both. The boy teaches the girl to be
wider minded, less petty and narrow.
more manly physically, and, above all.
to understand something of the OPP
posite sex. Again, the boy Is a hun
dredfold nicer for having a sister. He
confides his little scrapes to her, and
she, with her gentle Unborn goodness,
helps him and advises him to avoid the
pitfall again.-London Queen.
