From Monday $ ltllV-
Andrew Layton was arrested at about
six o'clock Saturday evening by Officer

streets opposite the city hall, and was
locked up on the charge of having as

his cell Mr.. Osten suggested that Mr..
Klughertz place him i'll the county Jail.
The latter adopted the suggestion and
Layton got in the buggy. Mr.. klughertz
invited Mr.. Osten to ride up, also, as 1t
was supper time, and Layton was re-
quested to stand up to allow Mr.. Osten
to oct in, Layton to be between them.
Layton remarked that he wished that
the matter could be disposed of at once,
and with that he leaped from the buggy.
Chief Osten caught and held him, and he
was then taken to the jail. As soon as
lie was locked up he seized and smashed
chair, and acted ugly all the even
ing He tore up a sheet, and as it was

EARLY HISTORY RECALLED
Thsodore Tiiton Once Spent q Whole
Week at Window.
From THURSDAYS Daily.

Theodore TiltOn. who died in Paris
the other day of double pneumonia, and
so well known by reputation all over
the United States as editor OF The New
York Independent and a friend OF
Henry Ward Beecher, was stranded III
Window number of years ago, remain
ING at the Clark house, now the Park,
for something like a week, says The
Window Reporter. He was on his way
to Sioux Falls to deliver a lecture. 1t
was about the first of May, 1881, at the
ending of the most severe winter tins
part of the state ever experienced. The
snow was going off. but still lay on the
ground several feet deep-more slush
and water than snow, however ana
rapidly melting and flowing INTO the
river. which was rising with such rap
idity that fears were entertained tor not
only the bridges but the mill. The
river covered the fiat south OF the line
of section %. and extended up to the
present sidewalk crossing OF Ringkob's
livery. though the land where I. w. Gll-
lam's house stands was an island. BY
going around by Tenth street we could
GRADE to the railroad bridge. One or two
trains had managed to get through to
Worthinoton and Sioux Falls before the
floods began. to do damage. BY tins
time, however, the wagon bridge had
gone out and the railroad bridge was in
danger. The st. Paul train came IN as
usual bringing with it Theodore III
ton. 1t could not cross the bridge, and
it could not return to st. James, OWING
to the water, TO say nothing OF gong
to st. Paul No trains could come up
from Worthineton to take passengers
from here. and to cross the river with
the ice floating and very strong cur
rent to carry it would have been very
DANGEROUS boating. There was nothing
for Theodore to do but stay at the hotel
and await events. The great thing then
was to see the bridge 90 out, which 1t
did in two OF three days. Between writ
inc poems and visiting the bridge Iilton
nut i'm his time. He occupied the room
in the hotel north of the ladies' parlOr
on the second floor of which would be
strewn with wasted paper on which he
had written few lines of verse. He
would write a few lines and study them
over, writing and rewriting until he
made the verse express just what he
wanted it to. He was at the bridge
when it went down and said it was the
grandest sight he had ever seen. While
here he was prevailed upon to give two
lectures if we could raise $25 for each.
He would take his chance with the lee
ture bureau, since he was under contract
to deliver no lecture for less than GER
tain price. as he was held up and could
do no better. Tickets were printed and
enough sales made to pay the price, the
lectures being in the Methodist church.
The time was shortly after the Iilton-
Beeches litigation in New York and Til
tons name was as familiar to news
paper readers as Theodore ROosevelts is
now. The lectures were masterpieces OF
thought. diction and oratory. If we re-
member rightly the subjects of the two
lectures were respectively, "The Worlds
Yesterday and 1.-The Worlds Tomor-
row."

SOME FINE STRINGS
Fishing and Pleasure Parties Visit
j. p. Hiniker's Resort.
From Mondays Daily.


Yesterday was beautiful day for an
outing and many took advantage of the
first real spring day to visit the lakes.
j. +. Thinkers resort at Lake Washing
ton was well patronized. The large
number of Mankato people there all had
n good time, and nearly everybody who
tried the fishing took home fine strings
of black bass, pike and croppies. Bass
and pike are biting at Lake Washington
wonderfully web this spring, and fish
ing parties are sure to get good strings.
Among those who took dinner at Mr..
Thinkers hotel. formerly the Sheehan
place, Yesterday, were c. II. Saulpaugh
and party, Henry. Vogelphol, Rube Fos-
ter and lady. Mr.. and Mrs. Phil Leas
and Mrs. Arthur Schaub, Leo Held
Wrinkle and family. Mrs. Joseph Ruerup
and party of three ladies, +. +. Soaring
and family, and ID. l.. Bieham, the lat
ter of Redwood Falls.
Mr. Thinker has purchased the large
cottage formerly owned by George
Hoerr. and has moved it in order to
make room for a large pavilion that he
will build the coming week. As soon
as this is completed dancing parties will
be held there every two weeks during
the summer and early fan. These will
be well conducted, pleasant affairs. On
July Fourth there will be n general
good time for all.
Mr. Thinker is also building a bath
house at the point. This is one of the
incest and prettiest shores on the lake,
and will make an ideal bathing spot.
The largest number of fine clnker
boats to be found at any OF the lake
resorts is at Mr.. Hiniker's. and he is
prepared to accommodate his patrons in
a satisfactory manner. Bait and fishing
tackle in abundance are to be found.
During the past week a good many
fishing parties stopped at Thinkers
point, and many others from the city
are expected this week.

PUSHING ON TO ST. CLAIR
Work on Alphabet Road Is Progress
ing Nicely


Track laying is expected to begin op
the extension of the Duluth, st. Cloud.
Glencoe & Mankato road in a few days.
on as soon as the bridge builders can
get some work out of the way, says The
about all graded from Cream to st.
Clair and when the ties are laid and
track down there will be about forty
miles of the road built and i'm opera
ton. The spring has been quite favor
able for grading and the work has been
prosecuted with as much vigor as pos
sibe and in consequence the line Is
about all ready for operation. The lay
ing of the ties and rails on the nine
miles will not be a long Job and then
st. Clair will have a Jubilee. as its
dream of real railroad will be true.
Business on the line has been very
good and the people have shown thei:
loyalty all along the line. During May
there were % car loads of stock shipped
ont from the three stations. about the
same number of cars of grain and a
large amount of goods was shipped in
during the same time. One train Of
eight loaded cars was taken out this
week and with the extension completed
still more business will be developed.
The line Is great convenience to the
people and all the towns along the line
will become good trading points as soon
as the opportunity has been given to
build up villages.
No move has yet been made for put
ting in a station at Plum Valley but the
place may be recognized later, as there
is great anxiety on the part of the peo-
pie in the vicinity for station and in
all probabilities prosperous trading point
would result was one established there 1t
will be remembered that one of the
townships ad iacent to the point voted
favorably upon the bond proposition at
the recent election and the other said
no, but the people propose to raise the
amount required by subscription to meet
the requirement. All in all the S"Alpha
bet" has met with prosperity and the
future seems bright for it, even if no
more of the road is built. As soon as
the extension is completed some changes
in train service will be inauourated and
better accommodations than ever will be
afforded its patrons.

A Well Known Remedy.

One of the oldest, safest and most
favorably known remedies in the world
today is Brandreths Pills-a blood puri-
fer and laxative. Being purely vegetable
they can be used by old or young with
perfect safety and while other remedies
require increased doses and finally cease
acting altogether, with Brandreth's Pills
the same dose always has the same eff
feet no matter how long they are taken.
One or two pills taken each night for
while is the best thing known for any
one troubled with constipation, indiges-
ton, dyspepsia or any trouble arising
from an impure state of the blood.
Brandreth's Pills have been in use for
over century and are sold in every
drug store and medicine store, either
plain OF sugar coated.

CROP WILL BE SHY SOME
Not the Wheat Yield But That Of the
Butter.
From Saturdays Daily


The butter movement to the eastern
market at present through st. Paul Is
about 40 per cent less than it was a
year ago. This is usually the heavy pc
riod of the butter traffic, but owing to
the late season there is big slump in
the product and the prospects are that
the butter output in Minnesota and
other northwestern states will be short
this year, says The st. Paul Pioneer
press.
1t is stated that some of the farmers
cut down their herds. There has been
no grass for the cattle and the farmers
have been compelled to buy feed. In
order to do this and have fewer head to
feed the farmers have been shipping
their cattle to the slaughter houses.
1t is stated that it will be the latter
part of June before the flush of the
making season, which will be fully a
month later than usual. The herds, it is
stated, will not be able to pick up be
fore the fly season sets in, which will
mean that the seasons output will be
comparatively small.
As an indication of the decreased out
put, creameries that usually turn out
seventy-five tubs are now shipping out
only forty tubs.
There has been an enormously large
crop of eggs this season, though but
little of the commodity is shipped to the
eastern market. The storage capacity
in the twin cities has been greatly in
creased and local dealers are holding the
product until eastern market conditions
are more favorable.
