THREE PRACTICAL JOKERS FINED
Lafayette Boys Arrested for Fright.
eninS Young Women.

In Lafayette village there are a
number of young girls who have been
putting in their evenings of late re-
hearsing at the village school for
class play. In the same village there
are number of mischievous young
sters who have seemed to find delight
in annoying these same young women.
The other night the youngsters manu-
factured a dummy in the shape of a
man and hoisted it in the air directly
over the sidewalk by means of rope
thrown over telephone wire. When
the young ladies came by on their way
home from the school house the dunn
my was suddenly let down in front of
them and the result can easily be ina
gined. One of the girls swooned and
for several hours after being taken to
her home was subject to fits of hyster-
les.
| Arthur Eckblad and Godfrey Olsen
were arrested for completely in the
''joke," and when brought into justice
court both pleaded guilty and were
given light fine. At their trial it
developed that Arthur Larson, rural
mail carrier, had instigated the plot,
and after hearing the confession of the
boys he too pleaded guilty. The JUS
tice fined him So, whereas he should
Ihaya held him for ten times tn at
amount.

HOSPITAL FARM FOR lNEBRIATES
New UIm Will Contribute $3.50
Towards Its Maintenance.

An annual fund of $40, 900 will be at
the disposal of the state board Of con-
troll for the esta blishment and mainte-
nance of a state hospital farm for ine-
briates.
This is one of the new institutions
provided for by the late legislature
and the law creating it appropria ates
therefor two per cent of all money de-
rived by the various cities and vii
lages of the state from saloon licenses.
AS New Ulm derives $4,000 annually
from its saloons, its annual contribu-
tion to the hospital fund will be $3.50.
The board of control will not be in
position to take any immediate steps
TO establish the institution as the fund
will accumulate slowly and the board
will not be able to do much until there
is enough money at least to buy the
necessary land.

lue oG. Z dul DlSpaGcn OF JOrGy years
ago contained the following interest
ing item of news: Hole-in-the-Day, the
celebrated head chief of the Chippe-
was, is still at the MERCHANTS hotel
with his white wife, whom he married
while in Washington. Mrs. Fl. was
employed as domestic In the hotel
where Hole-in-the-Day and his suite
were putting up during the treaty con-
ference. His Chippewa highness saw
the young lady in question, who was
comely in person, and bethought him
self she would make a fine accession
to his harem. So he proposed and
was accepted and married after the
manner of a Christian. Mrs. Hole-in-
the Day is a young lady of modest and
intelligent appearance. Her royal
husband, however, does not design
taking her to Crow Wing, where his
dozen Or more Indian wives reside.
That would not be very pleasant for
the last Mrs. Fl. He designs living at
St. Cloud in the style and manner of
white folks. He is abundantly able to
do this, as he is man of great wealth,
having a large income in annuities
from the government, and a large farm
well stocked, besides his reservations
Of mile square at Grow Wing. He
is an Indian of no ordinary kind, and
is the smartest man of his tribe.

BRYAN AND HIS PLATFORM
syThe Latter Will Contain No In
Y dorsement of Government
Ownership.
Tariff Reform to be Made the
ALI Important Issue.
Usurpation of Power by the Pre-.
sident Another Point
of Attack.

The democratic national platform
of 1908 will not, if w. J. Bryan con-
4rols the convention, demand absolute
government ownership of the rail
roads. This is automatically announced
by James G. Dahlman, national COM
mitteeman from Nebraska. The state
ment is in the nature of an ofici al
announcement, for the reason that
Dahlman is in close touch with Bryan,
and has recently been in conference
with him over the plans and policies
of the forthcoming campaign.
From the same source it is also
stated that tariff reform will again be-
come dominant feature of the plat
form
The platform, according to Mr..
~ Dahlman, has already been mapped
out, and indicates some radical changes
from that of 1904.
Constitutional guarantees will have
a strong Endorsement, and the accept
5nce Of campaign contributions from
trusts and large corporations will re-
ceive severe condemn alton. Indeed,
the campaign contribution plank is to
be one of the foundations of the
platform, the one on which Bry ans
friends hope to carry the country in
opposition to Roosevelt or any of his
followers.
Usurpation of power by the president
awill also be made a strong point Of
the platform, and the convention will
be asked to declare that President
Roosevelt, in this respect, as well as
in the matter of accepting or approx
ing campaign contributions, has
overstepped true democratic princi-
pies.
While imperialism will again come
in for condemn alton, it is not to re-
ceive the significant attention given
to other parts of the document. The
trend of events, especially in Cuba,
will govern to a great extent the
language of the platform on the
h question of colonial policy It is
idea not to antagonize the
feeling of the people, and this matter
and the matter of reform in colonial
affairs will be the slogan, rather than
the dis-establishmen of the system
already adopted. Filipinos and Cubans
will be rendered more self-government
and a reduction Of taxation.
The tariff reform plank will be an
especially strong one and will be SO
worded as to indicate reasonable con-
servatism on tariff reduction and to
relieve the people from tariff scare.
1t is believed by the Bryan leaders
that the people generally, including
Erepublicans, are ready for reduction
in many of the tariff schedules, and
this position will be taken by the
party next year.
The strong point made in 1904, that
''a private monopoly is indefensible
AMI intolerable," will again be the
motto which will appear in the plank
denouncing trusts, and no concession
will be made on that point Bryan S
weIl-known views on this issue are to
predominant, and the matter OF ''regu-
Iation' will receive no sympathetic
1nuendos in the next national plat
aorm.
/. Election of sen ators by direct vote
= of the people, reformation of civil SER
rice rules, and strong foreign policy
will be strongly proclaimed and
pledged.
There will be little solace in the
platform for populists.

NO SUNDAY GAMES IN SPRINGFIELD
Ball Players Threatened With Arrest
if They Attempt to Violate
the Law.

The law against Sunday baseball,
which has been dead-letter through
out the state,is going to be enforced in
Springfield this year, says the Ad-
vance. A Sunday game between the
Sleepy Eye and Springfield clubs has
been scheduled to take place on the
Springfield grounds in the near future,
but the Springfield team has been no.
titled by b. j. Ruenitz that Sunday
ball will not be allowed, and Mr..
Ruenitz is in position to enforce his
order, inasmuch as he holds a lease of
the grounds. The grounds were se-
cured by Mr.. Ruenitz some time ago
for the use of the Young Mems Chris
tian Association and it is not consi-
dered that this organization can con-
sistently sublet for Sunday games.
If the Sleepy Eye and Springfield
players persist in their efforts to pull
off Sunday game, it is announced
that every member Of the two organi-
cations will be arrested.

A railway official has called the Re-
views attention to the fact that a
number of accidents have been mar
rowly avertel recently which might
have resulted in heavy loss of life and
property, the danger arising from
buildings being moved across rail
way tracks without proper protection
against passing trains. The railway
companies stand ready to provide
linemen to protect it's telegraph wires
and f1agmen equipped with proper
tagging appliances for stopping ap-
proaching trains, and no one should
attempt to move building across the
tracks without first notifying the COM
pany's agent at least twenty-four
hours in advance, stating the height
of the building and the probable time
it will take to cross. Another source
of danger to life and property is the
movement of traction engines hauling
threshing outfits across railway tracks.
Such an act should never be attempted
when train is approaching within a
mile and a half. The speed of trains
varies from As to 100 feet a second,
and it is better to wait until an ap.
preaching train has passed and ther
make sure that no other trains are
close.

WRIGHT MEASURE RECEIVES VETO
Gov. Johnson Does Not Believe in
lndiscriminate Granting Of
Pensions.

A Dill that trlumphed In both houses
of the legislature and that had the ap-
proval Of most of the people of this
vicinity failed when it encountered the
chief executive.
This bill, known as the Wright bill,
provided fer pensions for all men and
women who took part in the Indian
war of 1862, whether connected with the
army or not, and also provided that
even the children of those people were
entitled to aid.
Gov. johnson drew the line at such
indiscriminate expenditure of the peo-
ple's money and accordingly vetoed
the bill
The Minneapolis Journal in COM
menting on the veto uses the following
languages:
"Governor Johnson's most impor-
tant veto, that of the Indian war pen
sion bill, is one which may cause con-
siderable soreness among the would
be benefciaries, but which will meet
with the approval Of Minnesota people
generally. A law of two years ago pro-
vides pensions for all who bore arms
in suppressing the Indian revolt and
suffered disabilities. Under it num-
Der of pensions are being paid to citi-
zen-soldiers of that day who suffered
wounds Or illness, or to their widows.
| The act passed the other day was a
service pension, giving Sl2 month to
all who contributed in any way to the
protection of settlers. It practically
threw the door open for pensions to
all who were within reach of the mas
sacre field, and put full power in the
hands of the adjutant general of the
state to decide who were eligible. Even
though honestly and carefully admin
istered, it was bound to be heavy
drain on the state treasury, and it Was
evidently pushed through the legisla-
ture on sentimental considerations.
There is no justice in holding the state
to payment of Sl2 a month to any m an
who happened to lend aid for few
weeks to the defense of settlers homes,
unless he suffered some disability from
this service. In this case the cover
nor's exercise Of the veto power was a
wise check upon sentimental extrava-
gance.
The Golden Telephone company is
preparing to make important extern
sions this season. One new line will
be built northwest from the village and
two to the south.
| The session of the legislature just
closed was one of the busiest the state
has ever known. The total number of
bills passed and approved was 480 as
compared With $50 in 1905 and 4O7 in
1908.
| Under the provisions of law faith
cred by Senator Clague, Gov. john
son will be called upon to appoint a
board of visitors to the state institu-
tions. There are to be six members on
this board and the appointments must
be non-partisan.
Former Postmaster Krook has pur-
chased stock in the Eagle Mill Co. of
this city and has also accepted posi-
tion in the company's local Offices.
His experience as a public official and
as former employe of the big milling
concern should make him valuable
servant.
