McCieary Sends in Ills Name For
PoStm aSter.
From Tuesdays Daily.

FROM IueSdaN S Daii|.
Representative McCleary today filed a
recommendation for the appointment of
Adolph j. Vei9le to be postmaster at
Mankato. This decision by Mr.. McCleary
comes after controversy over the re-
tention of the present postmaster, c. L..
Benedict, but a report from the post
office inspector who examined the office
was unfavorable to Mr.. Benedct's re-
tention. Mr.. McCleary- canvassed the
ment officials here, but they insisted
upon adherence to the rules of the
postal service, which precluded further
consideration of Mr.. Benedict's name.
Thereupon Mr.. Benedict voluntarily
Withdrew his name.
In discussing the reasons which ac-
tuated him in naming Mr.. Veigel, Rep
resentative McCleary said tonight:
II have recommended Adolph J.
Veigcl for appointment as postmasterat
Mankato to succeed C. l.. Benedict, who
could not well be reappointed under the
administrations announced policy of
arpointing as postmasters only those
who will devote all their time to the
duties of the office.
''Mr. Benedict, being a lawyer could
give to the office only part of his
time and attention This rule of the
administration barred from considera-
ton several excellent gentlemen whose
names had been brought to my atten-
ton. For four years Mr.. Veigel has been
the DEPUTY postmaster and has rendered
exceptionally efficient service. On this
account he was strongly recommended
by the business and professional men
of Mankato. in case Mr.. Benedict could
not under the rule of the department.
be reappointed. Mr.. Veigel was pupil
of mine at the state normal school and
we have ever since been the warmest

States of America in Congress assem-
bIed, That any person who served ninety

over, shall, upon making proof of such
facts, according to such rules and regu-
lations as the Secretary Of the Interior
may provide, be placed upon the pen

son has reached the age of sixty two
wears, Sl2 per month: seventy years,

Minnesota Dairy, and Food Commits.
sion Issues Statement.

SOU 'SSHSo StdhCi'Cut.
From Mondays Daily.
st. Paul, Mimi, Feb. Is. l907.-Con-
fusion apparently prevails quite eXten-
sively in regard to the application of the
National Pure Food Law and the effect
its enforcement Will have upon the en-
forcement of the existing state laws.
The National Law will effect only
commerce in foods and drugs of an in
terstate nature. Goods produced and
sold within the state will not be under
the supervision of the federal authori-
ties, and this class of goods makes up
the larger portion of foodstulfs consum-
ed in the state
Further than this it is the expressed
purpose of the federal officials to collab-
crate with the state officials in the
work and to only reach such offenders
as the state officials cannot reach.
In the absence of a state law the
manufacturer could carry on a fraudul-
ent business within the state and if he
chose to extend his activities t&anothei
state all that would be necessary would
be for him to establish a branch house
in that state and mix his goods after
they had crossed the state line. FOl
instance, if a maple syrup distributor
in Chicago wished to dispose of adulter
ated maple syrup in Minnesota he could
ship in original packages, pure maple
syrup and pure cane syrup into Mime
sofa, thus complying with the fedora
law, and then mix the two articles and
sell the mixture in the state as absOl-
utely pure maple syrup.
Further than this the enforcement oi
the federal law will open up new aven
ues for the enforcement of the state
law owing to the fact that extensive in
vesti9ations will be carried on by the
federal authorities and both federal and
state departments will enjoy the benc.
its of such Investigations. 1t would be
a disastrous policy for any state TO min
imize the work or power of its food de-
rartment in any way.
The attention OF retail dealers cspec
tally is called to the attempt of ID
Auerbach & Sons. New York, manufac-
turers of confectionery, to create The
Impression among dealers that this
department has modified its ruling pro
hibiting coal-tar dye in confectionery
This they have attempted through cor.
respondence with dealers in the state
Coal tar dye is prohibited in confection-
cry by law, it is not ruling, and the
commission has no authority to take
such course were II so disposed. Deal
ers will be held responsible for the sale
OF any confectionery colored with coal
tar dye.

BONDS CARRY.
ST. Peter Votes Additional School
Bones Two to One.

From TUESDAYS Dailv.
The proposition to issue $4,000 addi-
tional bonds for high school purposes
carried at the special election held at
st. Peter yesterday, the bonds receiv-
ing two votes for every one opposed.
The city had previously voted bonds,
but the bids for the building and the
heating plant for two buildings We're
higher than expected and the board,
rather than scale down the plans, de-
cided to ask for authority to increase
tie loan by $4,000.
j. B. Nielsen went to st. Peter yes
terday afternoon in order to sign the
contract for the new high school build
ing in case the bonds carried, he hav
ing been the lowest bidder, and it is
presumed that the contract was signed.
He went to Fairmont from St Peter,
and it viii be day or two before he
returns.

Don't Send Letter in Package.

FROM MonO2Y : l)aiiN
It cost an Austin man ten dollars
to learn that he could not send 4 bunch
of tobacco tags, with letter enclosed,
through the mails. This man mailed Il
package at the postofiice here and the
clerk asked the man what was in the
package. He replied merchandise ami
postage for that class was put on 1hc
package reached st. Louis postoflice
where one of Uncle Sans inspectors
opened it. He found within a letter
from the sender stating what he want
ed for premium. The ease was re-
ported and an officer sent here to collect
SO from the man for violating the post
al laws. The writing ON the margin of
newspapers or inclosing of letters, type
written or otherwise. lays the sender
liable to a fine. Don't be amazed now
if the clerks at the postoffice ask you
if there is any letter in your package,
he is doing it for your protection. Aus

LARGE STOCK SHIPMENTS
Jay Hubbard Has Six Car Loads of
Sheep on Train.
INo

from tuesdays Daily.
The Chicago & Northwestern Railway
company brought to Chicago on Monday
morning l,l30s cars of live stock If any
one doubts the prosperity of the great
territory reached such pessimism would
have been all removed by sight of this
big run. From Chicago during most of
the morning every block of track from
| Western avenue to eastern Iowa con-
j tanned train load of live stock. In
round numbers this meant l4500 cattle,
10000 hogs, 10000 sheep and 1000
| horses. There were cattle from the
feed yards of Iowa and Nebraska, great.
fat wallopers, many of them weighing
nearly a ton each, and worth hum
dred round dollars, every one of them;
cattle from Montana, which were born
in Texas, graZed two hot summers and
one cold winter in the northwest and
brought down to Nebraska feed lots to
be finished There were sheep from
nearly every western state and terri
tory, with few of the largest and
lfattest ones from northern Wisconsin.
Feeding sheep came from the Black Hills
territory, and train loads of fat lambs
from the irrigated districts of northern
Colorado, Idaho and Wyoming Car
loads of fat pigs hailed from almost
every section east of the Missouri river
A thousand well-fed horses was in the
run, a solid train coming from the sale
stables at Sioux City, and, to make this
barnyard gathering complete, six cars of
live poultry. Last of all came two
ears of goats from the sage brush des-
erts of far off Arizona. That one single
system could deliver within few short
hours this immense herd without acci-
dent or serious delay, when considered
from a standpoint of railway service,
is certainly remarkable showing. The
last car load was ready at l0:30 that
glorious winter morning, to be slaugh-
tered for hungry, waiting people. To
the farmer in the west who loads his
cars of fat stock, perhaps in the chilly
hours of Saturday night or Sunday
morning, gets into the caboose furnished
to all freight trains, folds his overcoat
under his head and lies down to sleep,
most of the troubles are over with for
him, providing he has good run, and
a good market at the end of his route
Not so with the army of employees who
have the responsibility of taking this
stock to market
JAY Hubbard of this city had six car
loads of sheep in this shipment.
