SHERIFF CALLED AT SALOON
Midway Resort Proprietor Charge d
With Violating the Law.
Eroy,, Mop6av'S Dai1V-

Sheriff John \. TraXler of lie Sueur
county, swooped down on the Midway
saloon. on the st. Peter road, late
Saturday night and arrested one of
the proprietors, one Dale, who was IN
charge of the place. 1t seems that
the owners of the saloon had not OBJ
tanned a license from lie Sueur county
to sell liquor at retail, but according
to the testimony of couple of spot
ters that had been engaged by the
sheriff to do sleuth work, beer was
sold by the glass. The spoilers were
sent to the Midway saloon on Saturday
night and the sheriff followed close on
their heels. The arrest was made
shortly after twelve o'clock. Dale was
taken to lie Sueur Center. 1t is under
stood that people living in the vicin-
ity Of the saloon made complaint to
the sheriff that liquor was being sold
contrary to law. Dale & CATER, the
proprietors, have a government license
which permits them to sell beer in
original packages.
Dale was to have had his hearing at
lie Sueur Center at two o'clock this
afternoon.
1t was reported that the saloonmen
were to be prosecuted for keeping their
place of business open on the Sab
bath day.

BUTTER FOR THE NAVY.
Hutchinson Creamery Contracts to
Furnish 100 900 Pounds.

Hutchinson, July 1.-THE Hutchinson
Produce company is finishing months
work filling contract of 100000 pounds
of butter for the United States navy,
this being one of three creameries in
the country which was awarded such Il
contract. Butter scoring at least ninety
five is required.
Major NJ. w. Long OF the bureau OF
animal industry has been here to in
spect the butter for the government
and an expert chemist and packer and
weioher have also been constantly en-
ployed at the creamery by Swift & Co.,
who took the original contract from the
government. A massive sealing mach
inc was sent here by Swift & Co., which
Theoretically and automatically seals
the three pound tin cans in which the
butter is packed.
A large additional force has been EN-
ployed by the creamery in weighing
labelling and packing the butter. Much
of it has scored ninetyseven and some
of it even better.
So pleased was Mayor Long with the
product the government was getting
that he endeavored to have the contract
enlarged by another 100000 pounds, but
the creamery declined, being able to
secure "a better price elsewhere.

Assist In Prosecution of the

OFFICERS OF SOCIETY TALK
Accident To L. l.. Davis Stirs Up the
Association To a Point Where
They Will Act.
From Tuesdays Daily.

From Tuesdays Daily.
The officers and members of the Man
kato Automobile club feel indignant at
the way the unknown automobile driv-
er passed L. L. Davis on the Fletcher
road evening before last. In discussing
the matter this forenoon, the officers an
nounced that the club would furnish the
money to prosecute any automobile
driver who violates any road law,
whether this particular driver or any
one who should do a similar act in the
future, whether member of the club
or not. They realize that not all of the
owners of machines in the city use as
much judgment i'll riding as they should,
and feel that any accident resulting
from fast and reckless driving reflects
upon all the owners, as a prejudice is
created against the machine. At the
same time it is pointed out that the ma
chine that caused the trouble may have
been owned at st. Peter or elsewhere.
No one has any intimation as to who
owns the machine that caused Mr..
Davis team to take fright. Most of the
newer machines have four lights in
front 1t may leak out later, unless the
owner of the machine relieves the minds
of the Others and comes out openly and
takes the blame and offers any expiana-
tion that may be possible.

WILL celebrate JUBILEE
St. Peter Presbyterian Church Soon
Be Fifty Years Old.

From Mondays Daily.
The Union Presbyterian church at st.
Peter will be fifty years old on Oct.
25. and members of the church are plan
ming to observe the semi-centennial with
appropriate services.
The history of this church is closely
identified with the early work of the
denomination in Minnesota. 1t was in
1885 that DIR. Thomas Williamson, the
celebrated missionary to the Sioux, es-
tablished his first mission at Lac qui
Parle, and in lS43 DIR. S. r. Riggs, like
wise famous as a pioneer minister and
as the author of several books, located
another mission at Traverse des Sioux
The latter may be said to have been the
nucleus of the st. Peter church, although
it was not until Nov. s., 1853, that the
Free Presbyterian church of Traverse
was organized with twelve members. Its
organizer was Rev. n. n. Adams, who
remained as pastor until 1860, when he
resigned to become state agent for the
American Bible society.
In September, 1856, Rev. Aaron H.
Kerr, then a resident of Dubuque, Iowa,
came to ST. Peter and held services in a
store In 1857 the congregation gath
cred for worship at the home of Mr..
Kerr, continuing to hold services in his
residence until the churchh building was
completed The edific was not finished
till 1859 and then stood on the present
site of the Nicollet county courthouse.
On Oct. 25, 1857, the First Presbyter-
ian church of st. Peter was formally or
panized with twelve members, and in
August, 1861, the Free Presbyterian
church of Traverse was consolidated
with it to form the present Union Pres
bvterian church.
Rev. Ralph E. Clark, the present pas
tor. and J. H. Treadwell, NJ. B. John
son, and g. H. Ribble, the elders of
the church, will have general supervis-
ion of the arrangements for observing
the anniversary. 1t is planned to hold
a reunion of its pastors and former
members.

FAST ONES ARE ENTERED
Horses That Will Participate in Races
at State Fair.
Srom THURSDAYS Dali


1T is a foregone conclusion that
this will be as great race as has
ever been seen on the Minnesota state
fair grounds track" was the verdict
of c. NJ. Griggs, vice president of the
state fair, after looking over the en-
tries for the 2:l3 class pace for a
purse of $1,000 on st. Paul day.
The entries for eight of the fourteen
races for the fair closed on July l,
and Secretary c. \. Cosgrove has just
made public the list of entries. The
list is gratifying to the officers of the
fair. not so much on account of num-
bers as on account of quality and the
famous stables represented.
The great $1,000 pace is a famous
race all over the country. 1t calls out
twenty-nine entries this year, or with
in one of the total of last year. Him
ois sends seven horses, Minnesota con-
tributes three, and other states from
the Atlantic to the Rocky mountains
and from the southern states to he
Canadian boundary have good represen-
alton.
Next to the great pace, the $4,000
trot for 2:2l class horses is of in
terest. There are thirteen entries for
this race, which Mr.. Griggs character
ICES as a 'choice lot"
OF the fast classes the 2:0S pace for
$1,000 stake has thirteen entries
the great Castlewood being easily the
the favorite on the face of the list
The 200 trOt has fine entry list. The
2:2S class pacing has twenty -one en-
tries, the 2:45 trot eleven entries, the
2:40 pace nine entries, and the 2:3O
trot sixteen entries.

RHEUMATIC FOLKS
Are You Sure Your Kidneys Are
WeI12


Many rheumatic attacks are due to
uric acid in the blood. But the duty of
the kidneys is to remove all uric acid
from the blood. It's presence there
shows the kidneys are inactive. Don't
daily with ''uric acid solvents" You
might 90 on till doomsday with them,
but until you cure the kidneys you will
never get well. Doan's Kidney Pills not
only remove uric acid but cure the kid
neys and then all danger from uric
acid is ended. Here is Mankato testi-
mony to prove it.
Mrs. b. johnson. of $40 North Front
street. Mankato, Mimi, said in 1898:
Il suffered severely from headache and
rheumatism and though / spent consid-
cradle money for medicines, trying first
one thing and then another, until |
used Doan's Kidney Pills, procured at
J. c. Thro's drug store, | found moth
ing to give me relief They helped me
form the start and soon was entirely
relieved of the trouble.
Cured to Stay Cured.
In 1905 Mrs. Johnson, confirmed her
former statement by saying: "The cure
Doan's Kidney Pills made of my kidney
trouble in 1898 has been permanent
one, and today ] am enjoying the best
of health. | think the trouble was
brought about by my Homework, and |
suffered from dull, heavy bearing down
pains and a weakness across the loins.
Doan's Kidney Pills cured me and
heartily recommend them"

ANENT THE GREEN BUG
Insect IL Described BY State Entomoi
ogist Wsshburn.
From THURSDAYS

From THURSDAYS Daily.
+. L. Washburn, state entomolO9ist,
has issued the following:
"While we have found the genuine
southern green bug" along with our
native grain plant louise in various
places over the state and at st. An
we believe, any special anxiety for this
seasons crop. 1t is to be deplored that
the ''Jin9o" element makes all possible
sensation from our findings, and we
wish to urge farmers and the press
through the state generally not to be
unnecessarily alarmed by the appear
ance of this pest. 1t is far out-number-
ed by our native form, which is with
us every year, and which is causing
Just at present the usual damage to
wheat and other grain. This damage is
ordinarily but slight. Should we have
much cool, moist weather, which favors
the increase of all lice by being unfavor-
able for the increase of the parasite
which kill them, there may be little
injury to wheat from the northern form
of louise. What we wish to impress up
on the citizens is that the finding of the
green bug" in Minnesota in itself is by
no means to be taken as a prediction of
poor crop of wheat this fall.
''We should be pleased to receive the
names and addresses of any county pa
pers which would appreciate being kept
in touch with the work in this depart
ment, and would take pleasure in mail
ing them statements from time to time
when occasion seemed to warrant"
What is supposed to be the green bug
has been located in Garden City town.
The insect is on some of the trees and
is reported to be in the oats.
