TRIED TO STEAL CHILD
CHARGE PLACED AGAINST
WISCONSIN WOMAN.
Was Arrested at Austin and Detained
There UntiI Marshal of Spring
Valley Could Arrive.

From Mondays Daily. .
A lady residing in Wisconsin was
arrested for abduction on the west
bound Milwaukee train at Austin Fri
day evening and detained at Mr.
Nicholsen's residence until Saturday
morning.
1t appears that the lady has in her
custody, child eighteen months old
whose parents reside in Leroy. The
lady has cared for the child since it
was three months old and has become
greatly attached to it. Recently the
parents asked for the return of the
child but she did not comply with
their request.
Saturday she and the child returned
from Usage, Iowa, where she had been
visiting friends. In passing through
Leroy, some one noticed and recog-
nized her, and the parents of the
child were notified. They got team
and drove to Spring Valley where
they knew she would change cars
and would be obliged to wait for the
east bound train. At this place the
lady and the parents met. When the
west bound train arrived the lady es-
capped with the child and. boarded the
train for. Austin. A telegram was sent
to Sheriff Nicholson, who met her at
the depot, and took her to his home
where she stayed until this morning,
when the, marshal from Spring Valley
arrived and took her back to. that
village, where it is hoped an amicable
agreement viii be reached.

HIS ORDER
Health Officer BjeIIand is Not
Hurt BY the Criticism.
From Tuesdays Daily.

From Tuesdays Daily.
Health Officer Bjelland states that
the vaccination order will be enforced
regardless of criticism, as he con-
siders it essential for the welfare OF
the citizens. He expects a large sized
outbreak of smallpox in the city be-
fore the winter is over, because it has
already occurred in so many places
throughout this section.
DIR. Bjelland cites the case of Her
man Bishman as showing that vac
cination does not give immunity indie
finitely. Mr. Bishman when five years
old was vaccinated by the late DIR.
w. r. McMahan, and has not been
vaccinated since.
As regards the necessity for gen.
eral vaccination on the school children
the health officer points to the fact
that Mr.. Murphy's children attending
two of the public schools, that the
family of a normal student living
elswhere all have smallpox, and that
the Franklin school children have been
playing, through the street car barn,
where Mr.. Bishman has been working.
Where care is taken in vaceinat-
ing, there is TO danger of infection,
provided the party vaccinated also tax
es care. Some people will scratch the
vaccinated place when it itches, and
infect it with poisonous matter from
under the finger nails, and the blood
poisoning that results from this is
laid to the vaccination. The vaccine
virus now used is very carefully selec-
ted to guard against any impurity
and is believed to be absolutely pure.

and soon regained the ball; was I'M

Minnesota, who soon sent it to Wis

for touchdown. Score: Minnesota 5,
Wisconsin 6. ..,
An exchange of kicks and forward
pass brought the ball to Minnesota's
ten yard line. Wisconsin carried it
over, and kicked goal. Score: Wiscon-

NEW HARDWARE STORE
Bosin Bros. of Rapidan Station Max
ing I'm p rovements.


From TUESDAYS Daily
Dan and Will Bosin, the general
merchants at Rapidan, are building a
new hardware store in the rear of
their store and in about two weeks
expect to have it completed and stock
ed with a good assortment of every
thing usually found in a first class
hardware store. The hardware stock
now opposite the creamery will be
moved to the new building. The gen
eral store has been conducted in the
past by Dan Bosin, but when the new
harware stock is completed he will be
assisted by his brother William and
the firm name will be changed to
Bosin Brothers. As the new store is
Immediately back of the general store,
a large archway will connect the two
and while in separate buildings will be
conducted by the same firm. The gen
eral store is doing nice business and
is well stocked. The new hardware
store, also the general store will be
heated by steam.
w. A. Just, formerly proprietor of
the store, is now in company with A.
Flo conducting lumber yard and also
the Rapidan elevator.
Miss Mary Bachelor of Mankato is
teaching the Just school near Rapidan,
and has a large school. This is her
second year, and she is well liked,
and meeting with success.
The postoffice is located in Dan
Bosin's store.
The nice weather has given the
farmers an opportunity to- do more
blowing than usual, and many are
taking advantage of it. Corn husk
ing is generally in full blast.
In and around Rapidan is located
some of the finest farms in the county,
and nearly all the farms have hand
some large homes and barns.
| Mankato rural route No. s, to be
started the 10th of next month, is
twenty-five miles in length, and while
doubling up on two of the other
Mankato routes and Good Thunder
route will be greatly appreciated by
the patrons along the line. Starting on
the Indian Lake road it runs south
to the west corner of sections "a and
I25, then one mile east to the poor
farm road, and south one mile to c..
Billiards., then west and north to M.
and +. Thompson's, then around the
lake to the Indian Lake school, from

Just school house. From here it goes
through Rapidan station, and from
there north, where the river is forded
near Gardner Darr's place, and from
there back to MankatO over the In

Rapidan and both have fine farms adj
joining the station.
| The Rapidan creamery is doing
splendid business and the patrons not
only have short haul, but get each
month a nice check for their butter

A chautauqua Statement.

TO My FRIENDS In Delaware
County
/ wish to thank you most heartily
for the loyal support you have given
me while in Manchester.
Thursday evening there appeared
a statement in the Manchester Press
which at that time was incorrect on
account of a misunderstanding of
thu editor. On Friday evening,
however, an agreement was perfect
ed whereby | agreed to give up the
field to the Redpath people. s.
My withdrawal from the field is a
matter Of regret upon my part be-
cause believe Manchester and Del
aware County are abundantly able
to support chautauqua. 1t now
remains with the people to make
the chautauqua this year a great sue
cess. Only willingness on the
part of the people to subscribe for
season tickets when asked, will as
sure this. So, as I leave the field,
| beg your most loyal support of the
representatives Of the Redpath Ly-
ceum Bureau in their endeavor to
please you this summer.
Those who subscribed for season
tickets Of me are hereby released Of
their obligation, and ask that they
now as willingly sign the lists Of
the Redpath people when asked by
their representatives.
Respectfully submitted,
NJ. ID. Sutton.

constitution 10 Insure the cool judg-
ment OF the people; because it pro-
posed a convention with no check
upon its deliberations and at time
when the country is unsettled on so
many important questions Of varying
interests to Its different sections, and
because the senators representing the
state of Iowa have always been an
honor to the state, and the action Of
the legislature of Iowa in taking the
lead in this matter, If not considered
US criticism of its representatives in
the United States senate. will appear
as unsolicited intermeddling with the
affairs, of our sister states, and Iowa,
under all existing circumstances,
should stand as guarding rather than
attacking the constitution.
Reforming City Government.
A large number of bills for the re-
formation of the government of cities
and towns. most of them products of
the legal committee of the Iowa
League of Municipalities, are before
the legislature, and a number of them
will be enacted into law before the
session closes. The principal object
OF most of the bills seems to be that
of fixing central responsibility for
the governing of the cities and they
give the mayor absolute power as to
appointment and removal of officials.
They also make it compulsory on the
partSof the city treasurer to loan the
funds of the city at interest. These
and other reforms added to the laws
adopted by the Thirty-first general as
sembly for uniform methods of keep
ing city accounts, it is believed. will
greatly strengthen the municipalities
of hMa sand give the state the best
governed cities In the country.
Old Soldiers Triumph.
The old soldiers of the state are
conducting a vigorous campaign for
the enactment of a law which will for
bid the Dissertation of Memorial day.
Already the house, by vote of SO for
to 9 against, has adopted measure
proposed by Representative McAllis-
ter Of Linn county, which makes 1t a
punishable offense to engage in play
ing Of baseball, horse racing, or any
sport or entertainment on Memorial
day. In the discussion of the bill it
developed that practically every post
of Grand Army veterans in the state
had petitioned the members Of the
house to favor the bill. AS these Pc
titions have also gone to the members
of the senate. the bill is looked upon
favorably by that body.
Primary Bill Hats.
The proposed primary election law
which is being drafted by a sub-com-
mittee of the general elections COM
mittee of the two houses is being rap
idly drafted into form and is likely to
make its appearance at any time. The
reason for the delay in presenting the
bill is stated by Chairman Wilson Of
the committee to be the fact that an
effort is being put forth to model a
law which will receive the endorse
ment of enough members before 1t is
called up on the floor of the chamber
of either house to assure its passage.

1t is said the Democrats have not yet
given up their intention to present a
bill of their own regulating primaries.
The committee preparing the measure
has for several days hesitated as to
the incorporation of party declara-
tion clause, but since the visit of,W
]. Bryan at Des Moines last week. all
doubt in this regard has disappeared.
and when the bill comes out it will be
for declaration Of party affiliation as
one of the qualifications for voting at
the primary. Mr.. Bryan is said to
have been very emphatic in his talks
with legislators on this proposition.
AS result of Mr.. Bryan's advice there
is question as to whether the Demo-
Gratis will bring in bill of their own
or content themselves with efforts to
amend the committee bill when it
appears.
Few New Laws Are Enacted.
Not more than two dozen laws, out
side of legalizing acts, have so far
been enacted by the legislature,
though the body has been in session
more than month. The acts so far
approved of are largely of a corrective
nature, remodelling sections of the
code that have been found deficient in
small ways. No piece of legislation of
general Importance has so far found
its way to the governor for signature
There are, however, in the nelghbor.
hood Of 500 bills under consideration,
and they will be disposed of rapidly
