SMALLPOX BY WHOLESALE
One Family of Eleven Is Down With
the Disease.

One family in the northeastern
corner of Mankato township is threat
ened with a siege of smallpox. There
are eleven persons in the family and
all are affected. Their names are
Zehm. One child in the family of
Mike Huebl, on the st. Clair road,
is afflicted and the other four children
have been vaccinated. Several other
families in different parts of the coun-
ty have recently recovered from the
disease.
1t is reported that several children
attending the Tivoli school have been
exposed, and physicians have advised
closing the school. The same applies
to the school in the Pohl district, also
the Sanger district near Kasota.
According to statement of physi-
clan the smallpox which has ragged in
the Tivoli, Eagle Lake and nearby dis
tricts is the result of exposure to a
gentleman who contracted the disease
while riding Oh train near Denver
about two years ago and who visited
at Eagle Lake and Tivoli Immediately
after the disease developed.

DIDN'T SPOIL APPETITE
HORSE HAD QUITE A FALL, BUT
ESCAP UNHURT.
Found This Morning Quietly NibbIins

Earth River Bridge.

John Kelly OF Lake Crystal or vicini-
ty had narrow escape from a bad
accident last night. He had been trad
ing in the city and at about midnight
started to drive home with his horse
and buggy. When in West Mankato
he in some way got on the railroad
track and drove west as far as the
Blue Earth river bridge. There the
horse and buggy went over the en-
bankment, down eighteen feet. Mr.. Kel-
ly escaped unhurt and this morning
the horse was found eating grass near
by, minjured, and the buggy had the
shafts broken, The harness was also
badly broken.
1t is thought that an approaching
train caused the horse to jump off,
as the bridge was only twenty feet
away.

OIL PRICES HAVE FALLEN
WHOLESALE FIGURE HAS DROP
PED CONSIDERABLY.
Per Cent Reduction
During the Past Five Years, What
Statistics Show.

In discussing the present business
situation with the manager of the
Mankato branch of the Standard Oil
company, he states that the price of
kerosene oil to the consumer, has
grown less from year to year.
An investigation of prices at Man
kato show that the present whole
sale market on kerosene is about
pa cents per gallon or % per cent less
than it was five years ago, the price
having gradually declined during that
period.
On gasoline the situation is some
what different, prices having ranged
higher during the five year period,
although the present market is one
half cent per gallon or per cent less
than it was five years ago, there hav-
ing been a marked decline in gasoline
prices the past season.
The same situation as to price, OBJ
tains throughout all southern Min
nesota and the information will, no
doubt, be somewhat of surprise to
the public, inasmuch as the price of
food and most every article of COM
mon use in the ordinary household
has advanced during that period.
The price of Pennsylvania crude
petroleum, the governing market (al-
though most of the oil used in this
section is refined from Kansas crude)
is now 10 per cent higher in price than
it was in January 1903.
Government statistics show that the
Standard Oil company own and operate
less than One-siXth of the entire pro-
ductiOn of crude petroleum in the
United States, so it would seem that
the independent oil well owner has
benefited by a 10 per cent increase in
price paid for his crude oil, and the
local consumer has benefited by a
% per cent reduction in the price of
kerosene, notwithstanding which the
Standard Oil company has made large
profits" said the company's repre-
sentative.

He Intended to Haul His Grain
To a Nearby Village.
And Would Have Certainly Lost
Out; There's a Reason.
Big Mill Takes Every Kernel;
Pays the Cash For 1t.

Yesterday farmer came to the city
with Il load of wheat, and in talking
with Il merchant informed him that
he could not sell the wheat and would
have to haul it to 4 village not far
from his home. The merchant was
surprised, and on inquiry learned that
the farmer had taken the load to two
of the elevators, but not to the Hub
bard mill. When asked why he did
not take it to the mill, he made the
reply that the mill did not give as
good grades and he could do better in
the village mentioned.
Secretary Spencer Got Busy.
The merchant told Secretary Spencer
of the Commercial club about the mat
ter, and the latter proceeded to inter
view George NJ. Palmer. The latter
denied the statement made by the
farmer, and explained that the mill
is very liberal in giving grades. He
said that No. / Northern spring wheat
is required to be sound, sweet and
clean, and may consist of the soft and
hard varieties of spring wheat, but
must contain a larger proportion OF
the hard varieties, and weigh not less
than fifty-seven pounds to the meas
ured bushel. Yet, where the other re-
quirements are met, as low as ffty-siX
pounds is accepted.
No. northern spring wheat is re-
quired to be wheat not clean enough
or sound enough for No. l, but of
good milling quality, and must not
weigh less than fifty-siX pounds to the
measured bushel. Yet the mill accepts
this kind of wheat if it weighs fifty
four and three fourths pounds.
Grain Seller Made Happy.
Soon after Mr. Spencer had left the
mill office, the farmer came and sold
his wheat to the mill and got grade
of No. and received "a cents a
bushel for it. Investigation showed
that only 90 cents was paid yester-
day for the same grade at the village
where the farmer had said that he in
tended to sell his wheat.
If any one will take the trouble to
investigate the matter, it will be
found that the Hubbard mill is ex-
tremely liberal with its grades, while
its prices are at the top notch.
Cash is being paid for wheat.

DEFENSE WINS ITS CASE
HAS CLEARED ULMANN OF THE
CHARGE OF ASSAULT.
Several Other Suits Occupy Attention
of Court and Attorneys In the
District Court.

The case of the state against
Dominick Ulmann, indicted on the
charge of assault in the second degree
with intent to commit rape as one
of the allegations went to trial in the
district court this morning. The state
put on evidence this forenoon tending
to show that the defendant made such
an assault upon Marie Denne, the six
year old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Martin DEM of Decoria, in the hay
NOW of her fathers barn.
When the state rested at shortly
before noon, w. r. Geddes, attorney
for the defendant, move to dismiss
on the ground that the state had not
proved its case. This was overruled.
This Afternoon Mr.. Geddes moved to
dismiss upon the ground that the state
had not made out case aside from
the confessions, and this was denied.
Then the defense put ON two witnesses
to show the defendants good charac
ter, and rested without calling the de-
PENDANT himself to the stand.
When both sides had rested, Mr..
Geddes moved that the court direct
verdict for the defendant on the
ground that the state had failed to
prove beyond reasonable doubt that
the offense had been committed, aside
from the testimony as to confessions,
and the court granted this motion.
County Attorney Plymat states that
he did not call the girl to the stand
for the reason that she is too young
to understand the nature of an oath
or to give competent testimony.
