MAYER HACKER CO.
Organized to Take Over Mayer Bros
Business.
From SATURDAYS Daily.


The Mayer Hacker Manufacturing
company has been organized in this city
to succeed Mayer Brothers and manage
their large foundry and machine shop.
The incorporators are Carl +. Hacker,
president, Louis Mayer, vice president,
and Lorentz l.. Mayer, secretary and
treasurer. The capital stock of the COM
pany is 100000. The articles of in
corporation have been filed.
Mr. Hacker states that he will take
the management of the firms affairs,
and it is proposed to lease the plant
and guarantee the payment of the in
terest on the bonds and fair return
on the stock: This can be done by
cutting down expenses. He will ty it
year and see what he can do. If the
Commercial club will assist, the com
pany can be placed upon its feet, and
one of the largest institutions i'll the
city will be made permanent and its
growth insured. The matter has already
been taken up with the manufactures
committee of the club. If it would be
possible, it would be best to secure
enough capital to take up the bonds
and buy the plant.

GETS NO FAV0RS
Lester Duffy's 500 Bond Forfeited
Goes To Jail For Forty Days.
From MONDAY s DalIy.


Lester Duffy, in spite of all the len
iency and helping hands held out to him,
has fallen from grace. He need look for
no more leniency, the court stated this
morning when he was arrai9ned on the
charge of drunkenness, sixth offense. The
court told Duffy that he did not deserve
more efforts on his behalf, as he had
failed to appreciate what had been done
for him and did not keep good faith
with the officials.
Duffy, when the last charge against
him was presented April 10, was placed
under bond for 500 to keep the peace
and avoid drunkenness, the bond running
for two months. The court declared this
bond forfeited, the same to be paid over
to the state, and sentenced Duffy to
serve forty days in the county Jail. He
informed the prisoner that from now on
he would get the law handed to him in
large chunks.
Duffy, replying to a question by the
court as to where he procured his liquor,
said that he had bought a half pint of
whisky i'll drug store from clerk for
Il cold.

Raid Three Places of Bust
ness During Night.
SMALL CHANGE AND TOBACCO
Drug Store. Grocery House and a Cigar
Emporium Invaded: Police Didn't
Want to Be Hampered.
From Fridays Daily.

From fridays Daily.
Devitry broke loose in Mankato night
before last, and besides an unusually
large number of bleary eyed and batter
ed faced persons being seen on the
street III the morning, three robberies
were reported At the request of par
ties interested The Free Press yesterday
refrained from mentioning the occur
rences, i'll order that the police might be
given an opportunity to work on the
cases, unhampered, as they claim. Yet
why ''unhampered" is not known. The
robbers certainly took it for granted
that their work had become known. es-
peciaily when they left broken doors
and windows behind and if mention
was made of this in the papers it ought
not to '''hamper" the local sleuths. The
newspapers are not wont to say that
any particular parties are suspected, so
as to inform the robbers that the police
are hot upon their trail. TO keep such
Il piece of news out of the paper for
the reason that it will help the police
to catch the parties seems like the
reasoning of an ostrich that because it
hides its head in the sand nobody else
sees it.
The Rex tobacco and cigar store,
Davies Brothers grocery store and f.
G. Thomas drug store were broken into
night before last, and money or other
articles or both distracted from each
one. At the Rex little over So in
change and some tobacco was taken, at
Thomas about So in change, and at
Davies Brothers one full plug of to-
bacco, some loose tobacco and other ar
ticles, making total value of $40 to
SD, were taken.
At the Rex entrance was gained by
| breaking the glass in a rear window,
and reaching through and removing a
stick that was used as brace to hold
| the lower sash down. At the other two
places the rear doors We're broken.
The police were informed Of the rob
berries Yesterday morning and have been
working on the cases ever since.

WHEAT RECEIPTS DECREASE
Leading Centers Suffer Quite Fall
ina OF in Business.

Washington, May 6.-Whcat receipts
at the leading spring wheat markets of
Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Duluth and Chi
cago, since Aug. |, aggregated l23,SO9.2I2
bushels, over 40,000,000 bushels less than
the corresponding figures for the 1866
season. and only little more than 0O0,-
900 in excess of the figures for the short
crop season of l904-5.
The greatest loss in the receipts is
shown by Minneapolis, the other cities
showing increased receipts as compared
with last seasons figures.
Smaller wheat receipts for the same
period are likewise reported by the four
leading winter wheat markets of Toledo.
st. Louis, Detroit and Kansas City, the
respective figures for the nine months
ending March 81 being 81 ,363,157 bushels
for the current season, 59,940,9S1 bushels

mills in the northwest during March OF
1892 900 bushels, was almost 100000
bushels i'll excess of the corresponding

WILL TURN BACK PAGE.
Meeting Of Old Settlers to BE Held at
Sterling May II.
From Fridays Daily.

In view of the fact that the Semi-cen-
tennial of the settlement of this section
was not observed last year it was deem
ed just and proper that there should be
some observation of the event this year,
says The Mapleton Enterprise. Joseph
Dobie, ST., of Sterling, who is one of
the few survivors of the original colony
left, invited the old settlers to meet
at his home on May IL, and commit
tee consisting of William Hall, John T..
Morris, o. w. Healy, Mrs. Rebecca Ellis
and L. b. Taylor, was appointed to ar
range suitable program and make 9TH
er arrangements. They have been es-
pecially fortunate in securing Rev. L.
AcClary to deliver the address of the
day. Mr.. McClary was one of the early
pastors in this locality and knows from
personal experience the privations of the
early settlers. A few years ago Mr.. Nc
Clary delivered the Fourth of July add
dress at Old Mapleton and in that talk
incidentally referred to pastoral work
here many years ago. Besides having
| this personal knowledge Mr.. McClary is
one of the strong men on the lecture
platform today, and no one who has an
opportunity, to do so should fail to hear
his address at the old settlers meet
ing.
Rev. A. Il. Conrad, pastor of Park
Street church, Boston. himself former
Sterling boy, will send paper to be
read, as will also Captain Fred Burn
ham, scout on Colonel Roberts staff
during the BOer war. Mr. Burnham was
born in Sterling township and his
father was, we believe, the first school
teacher in that town.
The Mapleton band has offered its
services for the occasion which is an
assurance that the music will be of the
best. Then there will be an old settlers
experience meeting at which the old set
tiers will recount the days long past
and gone. In addition to all this there
will be sports for the younger element
so that the day will be filled to over
flowing with good things and all will
have occasion to remember the first set
Element of Mapleton and Sterling.
The dinner will be basket picnic and
all are expected to bring baskets as it
would be too much to expect the com
mittee to care for all who will avail
themselves of the opportunity of hear
ing the fine program which has been pre-
pared. The exercises will commence at
1890 a. IN.

IMPROVEMENTS NEEDED
Commercial Club Officers Find Some
Wanted at Minneopa Park.
From Fridays Daily.


The officers and committee of the
Commercial club that visited Minneopa
park yesterday found several things that
it would be desirable to do to improve
the park as a resort for pleasure seek
ers. They found that the iron railing
that has been put in only goes about half
way around the edge of the precipice,
and that it ought to 90 all the way
around in order to properly protect the
public. Steps leading down below the
falls are needed. Park Superintendent
Blake, who accompanied the party, sug-
gested that an iron framework with
wooden treads would be the best to use
i'll place like that, as wood would be
less slippery and the iron framework
would last longer than ANYTHING else.
There ought to be foot bridge
across the creek, both above and below
the falls, and picnic tables and closets.
One of the principal needs was found
TO be better road to the park. The
best that could be made would be to
get the former roadbed of the Omaha
track and cut through the bluff near the
falls This would cost 800 to $1,000,
but would make road without hill,
and would be IA great accommodation
for the people of Garden City and Lake
Crystal, as Pigeon and other bad hills
would be avoided. The road would be
outside of the park, and the expense
ought to be borne mostly by the county.
1t was also found desirable to acquire
the entire township forty from South
Bend, except the cemetery, and fourteen
acres belonging to Z. L. Buck.
j. B. Hodge informed the committee
that he would continue to take as great
an interest in the welfare of the park as
ever

BABES MUST PAY FARE
Jaker in the Rate Bill; Infants Must
"PutUp.''


Through curious oversight, or was
it Intentional, the new passenger rate
bill which went into effect on Wendes-
day will compel all babes to pay fare
when they ride Oh the "choo- choo" cars.
The provisions of the bill are that
all passengers over twelve years of age
may ride for two cents per mile, and all
below twelve must pay half fare.
Heretofore, only children between six
and twelve years of age were obliged to
pay while those under six were carried
free The new law does not discrimi-
nate in children but will treat all alike,
and the railroads, which have made up
their minds to comply with the strict
letter of the law and which do not care
to incur any liability for violating its
plain provisions will charge the nursing
infant one cent per mile fare.

FREY WILL CONTEST
Evio ence is Taken as to Mrs. Frey S
Memory.
From Saturdays Daily.

The contest over the will of the
late Dorothea +. Fry was heard
before Judge Hughes this fore
noon. The evidence was submitted, but
the arguments will be heard later. The
objections to the will being admitted to
probate were filed by two of the grand
children, Albert Lortz and Annie Web
Der. These were left out in the will,
and they undertook to show that this
was a mistake upon Mrs. Frey's part,
whose memory was bad. She had let
her daughter, Mrs. Lortz, have $500,
but this had been paid back to her.
1t was sought to show that Mrs. Frey
had forgotten not only that this was
paid back but that her daughter
was dead when she made the will, al
though Mrs. Lortz had been dead for
more than year. Evidence was tax
en- on both sides, and the arguments
will be submitted later. Some half
dozen witnesses from Mapleton were
present.

ton has just been started in the Nicol-
