SAYS cow ATE HER RED
HOSE AND BLUE SKIRT

HOMESTEAD, Pa, Jan. 14.-Charles
Hensel, living near here, has a calf
with AN appetite so depraVed that only
stockings of the brightest hue, and Of
the female persuasion, will satisfy
AS a result Hensel has been hailed
into court and asked to settle for lot
of damaged hosiery and lacerated feel
ings assessed at $50.
Mrs. Annie Myrtagh says the calf is
a terror, indeed. OF the color of a last
years door mat, he is passionately fond
of bright colors and has been known
to break through seven-rain fence TO
get at an -pleated underskirt
OF blue and a pair of red stockings.
Complainant goes on record as saying
she used to hang out her washing, but
she cannot afford to do 1t any longer
until something happens to the calf.

PREFERS CELL
TO SMALL BAIL
Wrioht Street Man Refuses to Deposit
Five Dollars and Goes to
Jail for Three
Weeks

John Blake, or Doyle as he is some-
times called, is not the only person with
a firm character that has been brought
to the attention of the police for some
time. Another case of somewhat
similar nature was up yesterday, When
S. w. Slunkhardt refused to deposit 30
bail for his appearance in court tep-
ruary a. but said he would pass TING
three weeks in Jail.
Slunkhardt was arrested charged with
leaving a pile of sand in front OF MS
home on Wright street without Il
danger signal on 1t. He pleaded not
guilty to the charge. His case was
then set for tomorrow morning. he
asked Justice Frederickson to postpone
it In order to allow him to make a busi-
ness trip to Mexico, and this was ac-
cordingly done.
You will have to put up S. ball.
said the Justice.
well, l won't" replied the prisoner.
eff my word is not good enough L am
not going to put up the money. l was
arrested on charge that was without
foundation. You can place me in Jail
and I'll remain there, but 1 won't put
up any money"
He then turned to a friend who was
present and asked him to drive his
horse to a livery barn and instruct the
proprietor to keep the animal until 1t
was called for. The bailiff then led him
to his cell and he walked slowly along
muttering that he would not put up
bonds for any judge.

"PULLs" ARE OF NO AVAIL
Teachers Who Want Positions in the
Los Angeles Schools Must Pass
Examinations

The idea of competitive examina-
ton to secure positions as teachers evil
IDENTIFY does not appeal with particular
force to Los Angeles normal maidens
whv have for years past been "llnlng
up" political friends for the day when
they would need their help to secure
an appointment.
BY the new system of choosing teach
ers now in vogue, not even II the ap-
plicant's uncle is ward boss will his in
fiuence avail her. Each candidate
must, in a competitive examination,
Prove her superiority over the others.
AT the examination held in December
there were not enough teachers who
took the examination to supply all the
new schools which are yet to be opened,
aud as q result provisional appoint
ments may have to be made.
The applicants who secure positions
III this way, however, will retain them
only ill the next examination, which
occurs in April. Then If they do not
pass with higher marks than the other
teachers who compete they will have to
surrender their positions to their. sue
Cessful competitors.

The latter will probably be scratched,
as he cannot run on a heavy track.
Marl1ie Mayer should be close up at
the finish but can hardly beat the top
one. Toller looks next best and should
finish inside the money.
Rodolfo, Stoessel and Betsy will be
fighting it out at the finish in the fifth
race and it would not be surprising TO
sec their numbers hung out after the
race in this order. The Others with
chance are Ambitious and Prince Mag
net.
Twelve maidens are carded to start in
the sixth race the best of which on
form and figures appears to be Pimkin,
Otto Price and Banlada.
Banlada is my choice, as she ran a
good second to Allerion and was
scratched yesterday, to win this race to-
day. Pimkin, although beaten by Otto
Price the other day, should turn the
table on him today and win. Gold
Heather has a good chance to be among
the first three at the finish.

DISTRICT COURT.

Judge Olsen and Court Reporter
Eckstein arrived here on the belated
Northwestern train yesterday, and
the former opened a special term of
the district court shortly after noon.
The term was called for the purpose
of granting naturalization papers
under the new Federal law, and
quite number Of applicants were
made citizens Of the United States.
In addition to this work Judge
Olsen signed a decree perfecting
title to a lot in Lamberton village,
Attorney Clague appearing for the
petitioner, John Roth, who, with his
brother, was in attendance at the
term.
Attorneys Howard and Laudon al
so secured a Temporarily injunction
against the Redwood Falls city coun-
ell for granting the liquor license to
one Bailey, the applicant for the
same. The writ. was, made returna-
HE at a. later date.

official stated that the city would
make no attempt to restrain Aid.
Evans from securing an injunction,
or would make no attempt to dis
solve the same. He minated that
it was not worth the price to the
city.
Mayor Lines also stated that the
Brewing company, which was back
of Bailey. in attempting to secure
the license, also announced that it
would not contest the matter in the
courts for the reason that by the
time the Supreme Court finally
passedupon the matter it would be
so close to the regular license date
in this city Jan. 10th next that it
would not be profitable for them to
carry on the contest.
This looks as though, the impor-
tant point will not be passed upon
at this time by the courts Of the

HOME TALENT SUCCESSFUL.
Present Comic Opera, Little Tycoon, to
Good SIZED Audience.

The comic opera, Little Tycoon.
given under the direction Of our
popular vocal and instrumental mu-
sic teacher, Miss Grace Newsalt, last
Friday evening by local talent was a
very pleasing and decidedly success
full affair. Tho the evening was a
very intentionally warm one a
large audience attended. Everyone
came with the feeling of expecting
something good, some having seen
the play presented here some twelve
years ago, others taking the two
months of hard labor at rehearsing
into consideration, and everyone
went away with that feeling
strengthened and spoke only words
Of praise for the local talent. That
the audience deeply appreciated the
play was very evident by the fire.
quent applause filing the hall with
a tremendous ring
1t is unnecessary to enter into
detail. as the talent in both singing
and acting of those who took part
is too we'll and popularity known to
the people of this city. 1t can be
said that the efforts to make this
play great success were stronger
and required more labor than usual.
The leading parts were all very
we'll taken and assigned to the right
parties, while the chorus poured
forth melodious strains of harmony
that showed skillful training.
The stage was fittingly decorated
and the appearance of the entire
troup in japanese attire at the close
is by all means worthy Of mention.
The specialties by Misses Maud
Whittet, Zoa Pease and Myrtle Ball
were highly appreciated.
Tycoon was represented here about
ten years ago and out of the rs who
took part only four remain in this
citv.

WHEN THIS OLD ROAD WAS NEW.

It's handy to have old settlers,
around to fix up history, observes
the News Messenger. About four;
years ago the Northwestern road
discovered that it's archives did not
contain any record of when the first
regular passenger train was run in
to Marshall over the Winona & St.
Peter road. They had heard that
H. B. Gary had something to do
with it, and wrote him for inform
alton. He informed them that the
first train was scheduled from New
Ulm to Marshall on the 14th of
April, 1873, and left the former
town at nine o'clock on that morn
ing, with HI. B. Gary as conductor,
and Robert Mcconnell as engineer.
The train arrived in Marshall on
schedule time at four o'clock in the
afternoon, making the run in seven
hours, distance Of eighty miles.
The train was made up of engine
No. &c, a baggage car, coach, and
twenty-five freight cars. It had to
be doubled" over the New Ulm
hills. John Ward, a brother of ex-
senator w. G. Ward of Waseca, and
one of the contractors for building
the road, was the first station agent
at Marshall, and was on the plat
form to receive the first train. For
two years afterward there was no
regular service to Watertown. South
Dakota. Once week, on Saturday,
an engine and caboose was run to
Lake Kampeska, in order to hold
the land grant made to the Winona
& st. Peter road. For many years
this branch of the Northwestern
road was Familiarity known as the
Peter Road" Mr.. Gary can give
some interesting "reminiscences of
the early days Of railroading thru
this country, and is not averse to
doing so when he has an apprecia-
tive audience.

PUBLIC BATH HOUSE.

A, meeting is scheduled for next
Friday evening, at eight O'Clock, in
the Y. M. C. A. rooms of the Gran
tie block, to which every young man
of this city interested in the public
bath and bath house is cordially in
vited.
The object of such meeting is to
organize club to see what can be
done in the way of repairing the
once neat little bath house, which
probably thru lack of interest on
the part of those who really bene-
fitted by it's convenience, has almost
become total wreck. If the young
men will become interested in the
matter now, it can be placed in it's
former condition with but little ex-
pense and it can be so managed that
anyone breaking windows or mutt
lating the building in any way will
be brot to justice.
1t is also hoped that this meeting
will result in placing the bath house
and surroundings in such condition
that the ladies may feel it their
privilege to enjoy the public baths
and that they are as welcome as the
young men.
Let every young man be present
on the evening of Friday. July 9Th,
