The stamens socrete the pollen or fe-

other Insects to do It for them. Away

Engineer KOke Has Meas
ured the Output.
1T Is TOTAL OF 9O5 GALLONS
This Is Quantity That SpOuts Ont Of
Aperatures Every Minute; l.,
100000 i'm "a Hours.

Engineer Koke of the city pumping
station yesterday measured the flow
of the different city wells. He found
that the flow of the new city well at
the pumping station is $40 gallons a
minute, and the flow of the Windmiller
well is ll2 gallons. The flow of both
of the old wells together is 453 gal
Ions. This makes a total flow for all
of the wells of 905 gallons, which foots
up to 100000 gallons for each TWEEN
ty- four hours. AS the average daily
consumption is now less than 100000
gallons, the city wells are supplying
all the water needed, and it may be
two or three years before further
steps will have to be taken to in
crease the supply.
No water is now being used from the
sand well, and none from the gas
company's well, neither has the Man
kato Mills company been called upon
the past season to pump water for the
city. A saving of $500 as compared
with last year was made because of
the city independence of the Mankato
Nils company's pumping plant.
Engineer Koke has learned from the
test that he has made that the sinking
of the new well at the pumping sta
ton, contrary to expectations, has not
materially reduced the flow of the
city's two old wells there.

HIRED TO F|REST0RE
Louis Seamins Relates Story
to Attorney Ellsworth.
From Fridays Daily.

From FRIDAY 8 Ddlly.
F. F. Ellsworth returned today from
a trip to st. Paul. He has been busily
engaged in getting the evidence
against Harry Weinberg, the Madelia
merchant charged with attempted ar
son, in shape to present to the grand
jury, which meets at st. James next
week. Weinberg is furnished $500 bail
but his clerk, Louis Seamins, who is
the states chief witness, is being held
in custody at st. James, being un-
able to furnish bond for his APP
pearance when wanted.
According to the evidence which Mr.
Ellsworth, who is county attorney OF
Watonwan county, has been able to
get, Weinberg located at Madelia two
years ago and ran a clothing and dry
goods store with a small stock. A
month ago he hired Seamins, who is
from Chicago, at $50 a month and
board, to clerk in the store. After
the young man went to work, Mr.
Weinberg began to bother the clerk
about making fire." and offered
to pay him $50 to do it, according
to Seamins, who says that he never
really intended to start fire, but
entered into the. asal with the idea
of pocketing the $50 and skipping out
without carrying on this part of the
alleged conspiracy.
The evidence is expected to show
that Weinberg and Seamins went tc
st. Paul about Sept. 18th, and that
the former purchased ten pounds OF
waste with which to start the fire
which was to be made one week later
1t was planned, SO the evidence OF
Seamins is expected to show, that
Weinberg was to attend an auction
on Sept. 20, to ward off suspicion
and while he was gone the boy was to
start the fire. A paper was to be
placed across in front of one of the
shelves, leaving a pocket behind, in
which the oil soaked waste was to be
placed, with a candle standing in the
waste, timed to take three hours to
burn down to the waste. This was to
be lighted by the clerk.
Seamins also states to the county
attorney that he and Weinberg made
an experiment in the cellar to see
whether the candle would set fire to
the waste.
When Mr.. Ellsworth wen to Madelia
he found the oil waste in the cellar
and the paper fastened in front of the
shelf as represented.
Mr. Ellsworth has not been able to
find that Weinberg carried more than
$4,000 insurance, but he states that
the stock is not worth more than
$1,000, and that one entire side OF
the store was lined with empty boxes

MankatO Street Car Com
pany Was Negligent.
EXCAVATION is UNGUARDED
Result Is an Action Against City for
One Thousand Dollars Damages;
Franchise Faulty.

City Recorder Hodapp was last even
for damages by Godfrey Ochsenreiter,
who wants $1,000 by reason of fall
into street railway excavation at the
corner of North Broad and Vine streets.
The claim alleges that Ochsenreiter
was driving along the street at 7:45
Up. m. Sept. s, with a single horse
and buggy, and that the excavation
was unlighted and unprotected and was
two or three feet deep. The horse
and buggy fell in, and Ochsenreiter
was thrown out, falling on his head
and face, and was greatly injured in
his face and upon his head and back
and was hurt internally. He says that
he was confined to his room for more
than a week, and was not able to do
any work, and believes that he is per-
manently injured.
President Porter, when seen about the
matter, said that the only excavation
at the corner of Broad and Vine
streets was one that was made by
the street car company. 81 have
been expecting something like-tbis to
happen BEFORE" said Judge Porter. SIN
fact, / would not have been surprised
lif someone had fallen into one OF
these excavations and been badly hurt.
The street car company has seemingly
made no attempt to guard its eXca-
vations so as to avoid accidents. If
the city gets stuck in a damage suit,
who is it to sue in turn? Who are
the street car company? Is there a
corporation?"
The street car company has put up
no bond to protect the city from
suits of this character, as it's fran
chise does not require it to do so.
1t will be necessary to sue the COM
pany to be reimbursed for any dam
ages that are gotten from the city.

GET RID OF MUsTY GOODS
Merchants Must Rid Shelves of Ar
ticIes Not Properly Labeled.

One year is sufficient time for whole
SADIE merchants to dispose of Todd pro
duets which do not comply with the
national pure food, in the judgement
of the department of agriculture, says
The Minneapolis Journal.
When the law took effect Oct. Is OF
last year the trade was given until
Oct. l, 1907, to clear the shelves OF
goods which were improperly tabled
but did not carry any misstatement as
to contents. As the time draws to a
close, it seems that the old stock is
not yet disposed of, and dealers have
been asking for an extention. 1t has
been refused, and rightly so. Not that
the illegal tables do any harm as
long as contents are not misrepresented
but year is certainly long enough
for any food article of commerce to
be carried in a box or can before
being offered to human consumption
A year is long enough to suspend the
operation of law which for the pub
lie benefit, as the pure food law un-
questionably is.
The rule requires a direct statement
of contents of each package, not only
the truth, but the whole truth, and
that the consumer is entitled to. He
is also Untitled to goods that have not
grown musty in warehouses or on
shelves. The wholesalers request raises
the question: How many months OIL
years have those canned tomatoes OF
that raspberry jam been on the way
from the garden to your table?

CHARGES ARE ASSAULT
SUESS SECURED WARRANT FOR
ARRREST OF JOE kAENz.
He Claims That Defendant wayIaId
Him While He Was On His Way
Home Last Night.

John Suess today procured warrant
for the arrest of Joseph Kaenz on
the charge of assault in the third de-
gree. The alleged assault occurred last
night in Mankato township. Accord
ing to Suess' story, he and his neigh
Dor, Kaenz, were in saloon, when
some words were passed over the shut
ting of a door, which Kaenz wanted
closed, and Suess did not.
While driving home with his wife,
in buggy, Suess claims that he was
waylaid on the road by Kaenz, who
struck at his head three times with
club. Suess raised his hand and
warded off the blows and struck
Kaenz with his whip and then drove
fast home, but Kaenz ran after the
buggy, and struck Suess again when
the latter got out at his home. Kaenz
then went home.
Suess' left hand was injured some
what and was bandaged today.
