The mayor recently paid a visit to
the South Shore club horse show and
also inspected the work that is being
done on the sewer. and took away
with him little present from the sub
urb that proved to be an unwelcome
package. 1t was not the gift OF any
one in particular, but when the mayor
got back to his Office he found that
he had 1t safely tucked away. As a re-
suit he called in a court physician and
with quinine and what goes with it,

more, after a brief respite from the
rains Of government However. it is
assured that he bears Windsor Park

GOLD NEAR ST. CHARLES.
Yellow Metal Found on the Farm Of
Mr.. Gainey.

II
Gold has been discovered near St.
Charles and there is considerable furry
of excitement in that section. 1t is re-
ported that the valuable ore has been
found on the Gainey farm, some dis
lance northeast of st. Charles, and that
traces of the metal are found in tract
of about fifteen acres. The reports,
which have not yet been fully confirmed,
are to the effect that unmistakable signs
OF gold were found some time ago.
Samples We're sent away to be assayed
and the result shows the metal in large
paying quantities. 1t is expected that
arrangements will be made at once to
carry on development operations, and
those who are interested are hopeful
that the results will be successful as
there is reason to expect.
Many of the farmers in that vicin-
ity have turned prospectors and are
looking over their land carefully in the
hope of finding pay dirt.

DEATH CAME SUDDENLY
Little Florence Oickson's Life Snap
ped In the Bud.

From Fridays Daily.
Florence, little daughter of Charles
Dickson, died suddenly last night at the
home of her grandfather, Mr.. Scott, ON
Wheeler street, North Mankato. She
was as well as usual at noon, but began
to oct sick two or three hours later,
and soon went into commissions, with
symptoms of poisoning. Four physi-
clans were called, and remained with
the child throughout the afternoon and
night, but the little one died half an
hour after midnight.
The child was two years OF age Jan.
3 last. Her mother is dead, and her
father is spending the winter with his
parents in Northern Wisconsin. He has
been teIegraphed for. The child, after
its birth, was cared for the first four
or five months by Mrs. o. f. Bennett.
After that her aunt, Mrs. Cain, has had
charge of the little one, living at her
fathers house.
The physicians state that the cause
of death was pneumonia and mfiamma-
ton of the brain. The child, it seems,
was slightly sick day before yesterday,
having a little fever.

FARM TEAM STOLEN
Thomas ivers Afterwards Recovered
the Animals at Waseca

from Tludy DdlIy.
A large farm team belonging to
Thomas Ivers, farmer living about
three miles from New Richland, was
stolen yesterday afternoon by young
fellow about eighteen years of age who
had been working for Mr.. Ivers for
about a week and who gave his name
as Dave Shilling. He drove the team
to Waseca and left them standing on
the corner near Charles McLoon's sa-
loon without tying and here they were
found by Sheriff McDonough and Mar
shall Pancerzewski after they had re-
ceived a description of them over the
telephone by Mr.. liver, who was in New
Richland when the man left. He also
ransacked the house and took pail of
eggs and suit of clothes. A wheel be-
longing to w. A. Clement was also tax
en- between four and six o'clock and al
though it is not definitely known, it is
supposed that the same party proceeded
on his journey with the wheel. No
clues have yet been discovered.

GIRL is UNDER ARREST
Maiden Who 6uncoed Old Man
Caught at Polk City.

Des Moines, March 2S.-Miss Abbie
Wilbur, who neatly buncoed Benjamin
Everett of Polk City out of a deed to
his farm and $1,000 in cash upon prom
ising to marry him and who deserted
him on his way to st. Paul last week,
was arrested at her home in Polk City
late last night on an information charg-
ing her with conspiracy and obtaining
money by false pretenses.
With the young lady was arrested
Jackson Terrill, aged sixty five, neigh
Dor of Everett, who is charged with the
same offenses and who, Everett says,
engineered the romantic engagement
which ended so disastrously in Mime
apolis. In addition, informations are on
file against Miss Wilburs sister who is
accused of taking hand in the film
flaming of the aged sutton
Miss Wilbur was represented to
Everett as being in a hospital in Min
neapolis. He was told, so he says, that
as soon as she recovered, he could meet
her there and the ceremony could be
performed according to the terms of the
contract.
The gullibe old lover, accompanied
by the brides sister, started for Min
neapolis. When the Minneapolis & st.
Louis reached Jewell junction, the
brides sister quietly stepped off the
train without telling Everett her plan
at ALL He went on to Minneapolis and
she, with his spare coin, returned to
Des Moines. Everett, in his plight,
learned that he had been cruelty de-
ceived, and it was then that he applied
to the Minneapolis police for ticket
home.
Upon his return home, the old gen
tleman heard that his twenty three year
old sweet heart had not been out of
Polk City. 1t was there that she was ar
rested last night. The incident has
caused big sensation in Polk City and
whereabouts.

Big Deal COnsummated BY
John Klein & Co.
BUYS OUT LAMM & H0HMANN
Furniture and Carpets and Other
Goods Are to Be Handled BY
the Pioneer Firm.
rrom Fridays Daily.

rrom Fridays Daily.
A business deal of the first impor-
lance was transacted yesterday, when
John Klein & Co. purchased Lamm x
HOhmann's entire stock of furniture,
carpets, rugs, crockery, lamps, etc.
Messrs. Lamm and Hohmann will per-
manently retire from business, the rea-
son for this being that the Lamm es-
tate has formed a corporation, and they
wish to devote their time to the bust
ness of this, which will be much less
combining, more healthful and more re-
munerative.
The firm of Lamm & HOhmann start
ed in their handsome new store building
something over year ago. They have
enjoyed large trade, and it was hoped
that they were permanent fixture in
the business interests of the city. They
retain their building, but as soon as
John Klein Co. close out the stock the
VIII Dt Iol ltUJ vi odlc.
Lamm & Hohmann have been close
buyers, getting most of their goods in
carload lots and as the stock was pur
chased by John Klein Co. at an addi-
tional discount, it will enable John
Klein Co. to put the goods in the mar
ket at exceedingly low prices. Begin
ming Saturday morning, the big store
will be closed for four or five days, to
allow of the taking of an inventory of
the stock. All of the lines of goods
will be marked down for q big sacrifice
sale, which will be announced next week.
The citizens of Mankato will have an
opportunity to buy furniture at a lower
price than it was ever sold at i'll this
vicinity before, until the stock has been
disposed of.
John Klein Co. will continue i'll busi-
ness at their present stand, where the y
have been for SO many years. They are
to be congratulated upon having con-
summated such big deal as that closed
by them yesterday.
Lamm & Hohmann's decision to re-.
tire was made only recently. They did
not anticipate it in January, but went
east that month and purchased an ele-
CANT line of the latest goods in the
furniture and other lines, and these
have arrived and will be included in the
closing out sale, at undreamed OF prices
While regretting that they are to re-
tire from business, our citizens will be
pleased to know that they are to re-
main in MankatO.

LEGISLATORS ARE FANS
House Will Challenge the Senate to a
Game Of Base Ball.

From Fridays Daily.
The base ball spirit is developing
among the Legislators. The house will
challenge the senate 20 . game if Repre-
sentative G. II. Denze, .. re Sueur has
his way.
The base ball spirit that made the
name of Denzer a household word with
every ian in the ctsmtry a decade ago
is still alive in the family and the warm
weather of the last week has brought it
to the surface. George Denzer is a broth
er of Roger Denzer, the LIE Sueur boy
who was once the star twirler for ST..
Paul and later in the big league, and the
base ball spirit is in the family.
Mr.. Denzer thinks there is other
good material in the house and he is
already having trouble selecting his nine
from bunch of applicants. He will in
troduce a resolution in the house this
morning challenging the senate to a
game for the afternoon of April 6. Mr..
DenZer is confident that defeating the
senate in the game of baseball WIN be
easier than passing bill raising the
salaries of the members.
The resolution will invite Governor
johnson to officiate at the game and
give him a chance to veto efforts of the
twirler when he tries to pass the
batsman back to ''lay on the table,"

NELLIE FOUND IN IOWA
Goes on Stand and Tells of Her Re-
Iations With Lockhard.

From Fridays Daily.
Woman's inherent beauty and mans
inherent depravity are irresponsible for
much of the darkness of the cloud OF
sorrow and suffering that continually
envelopes the world. This was never
more forcibly brought to the attention
of our people than during the present
term of the district court, says The
Fairmont Sentinel
County Attorney Palmer, it is said
drew from Mrs. Thompson by the sweat
ing process an inkling as to the where
abouts of her daughter, Nellie Alice
complaining witness against William
Lockard. At all events, Sheriff Ward
found the girl in Iowa, about thirty
miles from here, and brought her back
to appear in court. Yesterday morning
the trial was resumed and the young
girl was upon the stand much OF the
day. She is a bright, pretty little girl
and proved splendid witness.
She testified that Robert Shepardson
and wife, and Tom Thompson, her
uncle, all witnesses for the defense.
advised her to 90 away last Monday
and that her uncle took her away that
night. She testified positively of her
illicit relations with the defendant
which commenced when she was about
fifteen. She stood the long cross exam
ination of Attorney Allen very well and
answered promptly. The girls father
and mother were in the court room but
sat back with the audience. LOckard's
nice looking young wife sat at his side
and their baby was in the room cared
for by another woman. This is the sec
ond instance at the present term OF
court of the constancy and devotion OF
a true, faithful wife, and does much to
redeem humanity from connection with
the muck of wickedness constantly be-
ing stirred up and exposed to court and
Jurors.

SUIT AGAINST BUCHANAN
Congressman Is Made Defendant In
an Action BY jackson.

ST. Cloud, March &c. II. Jackson
has brought two suits in the district
court against former Congressman G. B.
Buchanan of Little Falls, aggregating
$24,675. The controversy arose over the
big Brookdale farm located twelve miles
from RoyaltOn. In his complaint c. f.
Jackson alleged that he purchased half
interest in the equity of the farm for
$500 three years ago. There are 1900
acres in the farm against which there is
a mortgage of $4,000. Mr.. jackson al
leoes that when he went to look over
the land, Mr.. Buchanan showed him the
soil around the house and stated that
the rest was of the same kind, only far
more valuable, and misrepresented to
him. and now claims that the land is
not even worth the mortgage against
it. He alleges that he has lost all that
he has put into it and asks for judg-
ment of $780, The other suit is for
accounting and for settlement. The
plaintiff claims that on March 20, 1904,
he and Mr.. Buchanan entered into a
contract by which they became joint
owners of the farm. According to the
agreement each was to own half of the
property on the farm and receive half of
the income. Mr.. Jackson claims that
mis- share of the income since he bought
the farm was $500 and that he has not
received cent of it. He asks for judg.
mpnt for this amount.

Senator Works Fought for
the Expo Bill.
He MADE A LONG SPEECH.
Frank Clasue Talked Against the
Measure and Was Ably Sup
ported BY Othersl

st. Paul, March 2S.-An exciting de-
bate over the exposition bill occurred
in the senate yesterday. Senator Works
of Blue Earth county was among the
prominent advocates of the passage of
the measure, which was defeated by a
vote of 81 to 30 Among others who
spoke in favor of the bill during the pro-
longed fight were Senators Hackney,
Wilson, Fosseen, Hardy and several
from st. Paul and Minneapolis.
1t was battle royal, and wit and sar-
casm were frequently in evidence. At
the outset Senator Moonan moved post
ponement of the special order and he
was the target for many hot shots from
those who were opposed to dilatory tao
ties. The motion was lost and Senator
Clague sought to introduce two amend
ments, one to change the figures 81 ,O00,-
600 to 100000, and the other to require
the twin cities to each raise Sl5O,O0O.
Senator Wilson led the fight against
these and Senator Clague finally con-
scented to withdraw the amendments.
Senator Fosseen moved to amend so
as to require the state fair management
to give bonds in the sum of 100000
with surety and authorizing the COVER
nor to remove any member of the board
for cause. The amendment proved pop
ular and carried at once.
Senator Putnam moved to continue
the special order until Wednesday and
motion was lost.
Senator Nelson moved to amend so as
to keep the saloons in Hennepin and
Ramsey counties closed on Sundays and
after 10 p. m. on week days during the
exposition.
"You may think this is funny" said
ne when the senators laughed, "but L
ara in earnest" The motion was lost.
Senator Dale moved to change the fig
ures $l,OOO,OOO to $75O,OOO, and this was
likewise lost.
Senator Wright moved adjournment
and this was lost. By this time the
senators were tired of making motions
and they discussed the merits of the
bill before taking the vote. The long
est speeches were made by Senators
Works, Clague and Hackney.
Senator Works praised the bill in I'M
stinted terms, saying that an exposi-
ton would do the state more good than
any other one thing during the next ten
years. He insisted that many of the
best farmers of the state were leaving
for other parts of the country just because
other states were more enterprising in
an advertising way. Senator Ciague's
main argument was that Sl,0O0,OOO was
too much to appropriate and that the
money could be used to better advan-
tage-for the university, the agricultural
school, the asylum and other state in
stitutions. He insisted that the insti-
buttons would be in use the year round
while the new buildings at the fair
grounds would only be in use one week
in each year.
