Two Suspects Arrested.
REPORT Is VERY OPTIMISTIC
Crop Conditions Reported Good in
Northwestern Statement,

Winona, July l7.-This weeks crop
report from along the line of the
Chicago & Northwestern road, west of
here, is optimistic. 1t says:
Weather conditions during the past
week have been favorable over the en-
tire line. Friday of last week was
extremely hot but no damage was
done. We have had one quite gem
eral rain and no damage by storms.
With the exception of Friday the
weather has been comfortable and all
that could be desired for growing crops.
Crops of all kinds have made good
advancement in maturity under most
favorable conditions. Winter wheat and
rye harvest will be completed this
week; early barley harvest is just now
commencing and a large crop is as
sured; early wheat harvest will be-
gin by Aug. l, or in about two weeks.
We do not require more moisture, as
we have had sufficient to mature all
crops except corn and flax. There are
no complaints at any point of insects
or rust, and under most favorable con-
ditions we are rapidly approaching gem
eral harvest, the past week being de-
cidedly favorable.

ALLEGED THAT HE FORGED
School Treasurer In Waseca County
ID Up Against It.

Waseca, July Coon Halverson, a
farmer residing few miles north of
this city was arrested here Satur-
day on charge of forgery. His al
legged forgeries cover a period of sever
al years and amount to nearly $1,000.
The crudity of his methods, it is
charged was what prevented his detec-
ton for so long a time.
Mr.. Halvorson was treasurer of
rural school district, and it is claim
ed had repeatedly forged the names
of teachers to bogus orders, preventing
them himself at the different banks for
payment and always -remarking that
he had advanced the money to the
teacher. 1 eIsI
The fact that the orders were not
genuine, was discovered Saturday it is
alleged when it was found there was
no money in the treasury of his dis
trict. Investigation revealed the real
state of affairs and his arrest promptly
followed.
Mr.. Halvorson's parents were among
the earliest settlers of this country, and
he always has borne an excellent rep
utation.

EDGAR PARKER is DEAD
He SUCCUMBS TO AN ATTACK
OF TYPHOID FEVER.
Assistant to the Manager Of the NJ an
kato Traction Company; Promis-
ing Career Cut Short. j
From MONDAYS Daily.

From Mondays Daily.
Edgar Parker died at five O'Clock thi
morning at the family residence, 33
Clark street, of typhoid fever, witt
menengial complications. The frs
symptoms OF typhoid developed Jul,
10, and Mr.. Parker's fever did not rul
SO very high, but he was delirious /,
good deal, and finally his heart showed
weakness.
The deceased was twenty-one years
of age, and resided with his mother
Mrs. J. L. Parker, his father having
died several years ago. He was borI
at Azalia, Ind, and later accompanied
the family to Howard Lake, MINI
There he graduated from the higl
school, and later attended the state
university. Two years ago the family
moved to Mankato.
Mr. Parker came into local promi
nence through his connection with the
Mankato Electric Traction company
having held the position Of assistant
manager ever since the construction
operation began. At the time that
A. A. Lightfoot was engaged as gen
eral manager, Mr.. Parker would have
been chosen to fill the position, except
that the directors thought him toe
young. He made good as assistant
and had bright future before him. He
was loyal to his employers, faithful
intelligent and active. He possessed a
splendid character, and was liked and
respected by all who knew him. His
death causes sincere grief, and is
regretted by all, and the sympathy of
the community will 60 out to the
bereaved family.
Two brothers and three sisters sur
vive Mr.. Parker. Paul, the eldest
brother, lives at Elk River, and is
expected to arrive today. Clarence
resides at home, as do the three sis
tiers, Misses Jessie, Caroline and Min
ME. Miss Caroline is suffering from
an attack of typhoid fever, but while
her temperature has been higher than
her brothers, her condition is very
favorable, and she is somewhat better
than she was last week. All will hope
that her life may be spared

church, but did not belong
to any secret order. Funeral arrange
ments will be announced tomorrow.

EXAMINE WATER AND MILK
Extra Precautions Taken to Protect
Public Against Disease.

DR.. Hill of the state board of health
took samples of water from the differ
ent city wells late Saturday afternoon,
and they will be subjected to bacter-
biological examination to see whether
the water still contains typhoid fever
germs or is free from them, as all hope.
Tests will be made from time to
time, and when the officials are abso-
lutely sure that the water is health
full the public will be no longer eau
toned to boil the water. But for the
present, the water ought to be boiled.
Health Officer Bjelland has requested
State Dairy and Food Commissioner
Slater to send inspectors to this city
to look after the milk supply, in view
of the outbreak of typhoid fever. This
is very important matter, for milk
is one of the quickest ways to spread
the germs of the disease. Steps will
be taken to insure everybody getting
pure milk. ~.

SMILE AT CROP PROSPECT
Conditions in Mile Laos County Are
the Best Ever.


They're all smiling over crop pros.
poets in Mile Laos county, according
to DR.. L. L. Halves, who returned
last evening after having spent several
days looking after his farming interests
there.

in that part of the state cannot re-
member the time when the crop out.
look was better than it now is. He
saw fields of oats that will go seventy
five bushels to the acre, wheat that
will yield from twenty to thirty
bushels and hay land that will pro-
duce immense quantities. Many po-
tatoes are raised there and the outlook
for the tubers is as good as that
for everything else.

O'BRIEN IS NOT A BARKIS|
WILL NoTAccEPT "pEMS" NOM
NATION FOR GOVERNOR.
Frank Day Still Has Hopes That John-
son Will Again Be a Candidate
for the Place.

st. Paul, July l6.-Thomas ID. O'Brien
of st. Paul, late state insurance COM
missioner and at present aiding Attor-
,ney General Young in the railroad
rate Injunction suits, declares empha-
ticaHy that he will not permit the
use of his name for the democratic
nomination for governor. He says
positively that he would not take
the nomination.
81 resigned from the office of state
insurance commissioner in order that |
might be able to resume my law prac-
tice without interference" said Mr..
O'Brien today, "and it would be foolish
for me to again enter a campaign that
would compel hue to divorce myself
from my profession.
Besides, / am interested in the
state railroad cases and | could not
the campaign that such nomination
would entail the proper attention. |
have been asked to allow the use of
my name for governor, but l cannot
permit it. l have not the tins,
and besides | am out of politics, and
l want to stay out. l must and shall
refuse"
Frank Day, when acquainted with
Mr.. O'Brien's position in democratic
gubernatorial matter, did not seem much
disturbed. He limited that Mr.. O'Brien
might be compelled to accept the NOM
nation, whether he wanted it or not.
Though many names have been sug-
gested in connection with the democra
tic nomination, Mr.. Day and the cab
met still have hopes that Governor
johnson may be induced to again make
the race. In fact some of the republi-
can leaders insist that despite his
denial of some weeks ago, he will run
again.
Frank Day insists that he democrats
have an excellent chance for victory
this fall. He makes the claim that
jacobson is the weakest candidate the
republicans could have put up, and
says the democratic candidate will win
hands down. He refuses to see that
the finish of the democratic machine
is near at hand.

He Berated the Church for Its
Dead Greed and the Do
Nothing Policy.
Is Doomed to Become a Museum
0fAntiquities Rather Than
Living Force.

Minneapolis, July 22.-Rev. E. H.
Willisford, Phi. d., of Mankato, new
conner in the state, made the Baptist
assembly sit up and take notice to-
day at Mound, Lake Minnetonka, with
his stirring address on "The Church
and Some Unsolved Social Problems"
He berated the church for it's dead
creed and its do-nothing policy, and
predicted that if it does not soon
wake up and do something it will be
doomed to become museum of an
tiquities rather than a living force.
The beginning of Mr.. Willisford's
address bristled with "facts" as fol-
lows: In the United States 100000
children of school age are habitually
underfed. Ten thousand of these an.
nually die of ricketts,.
There are in the United States lOO,-
900 Migrants.
Half the families of the country live
in rented homes.
In the mining districts men die at
the average age of twenty four; in
the country at large at thirty five.
Every tenth person dying in New York
is buried in the potters' field.
These are comparatively new condi-
tions and the church is not keeping
in touch with them. For the church
to stand by and wiring its hands and
shed crocodile tears and realize it will
have nothing to do with these prob
LENS is to play the PLATE act.
For a proof that the church is not
living up to its opportunities he cited
the fact that while 100000. new peo-
pie had moved into the district be-
low Fourteenth street in New York
city, seventeen churches had moved
out.
James Edmunds in his lecture on
'Enlisting the Pupils Memory" in
Sunday school laid down some rules for
teachers to follow: Make the pupil
think; make reviews interesting; awak-
en- interest and attention; make the
purpose of the Bible school definite
md tangible to pupils; give proper
emphasis; impress the pupils with the
essons through as many separate chan
lels as possible; make vivid by exam
,les that the story may be readily re-
,elled; group things under heads.

COUNTY PAYS ONE-HALF
BOARD TAKES ACTION ON THE
REPAIR or BRIDGES.
Estimated That Cost VIII BE Some
thing Like $4,000 For the
Recon struction.
From Thursdays Daily.

The county board adjourned yester-
day afternoon. Commissioners Madi-
gan, Jones and Hansen were appointed
a committee to meet the Faribault
county board at the proposed bridge
site on the county line near section
"a, Mapleton, July Is.
The county agreed to pay one-half
road repairs in Rapidan township when
the township is ready to pay the other
half. The estimated cost of the work
is $4,000
The following resolution was adopt.
ed: Whereas the recent heavy rain
fall and continued wet weather fright
fully damaged bridges, culverts and
grades generally throughout the county,
as we estimate it to the extent of
$4,000 at least, and
Whereas, we are fully aware that
to replace such bridges, culverts and
grades wholly by the townships would
incur such expense as would render it
impossible of accomplishment, leaving
the highways generally impossible and
the entire public, be it
Resolved, That the county will pay
for one-half of the expense in replacing
such bridges, culverts and grades, as
are actually needed in making such
highways disable, the townships to pay
the other half The resident commits
sioner and one other to be selected
by him will in each case be the COM
mittee with power to cat.
A. motion by Commissioner Schultz,
directing the county auditor to adver-
tise for sealed bids for constructing
the road known as the RapidaH Mills
hill road, which is state road, it
being understood that the building
of the road finally costs the county but
one-half, was carried.
On motion of Commissioner Jones,
the same action was taken as to the
Cable mill hill road. Bids will be re-
ceived Sept. at 2 p. m.

Woman Is Grateful for the Help
She Has Received From :
Mankato Folk.
She Can Now Lift the Mortgage
On Her House, Amounts
To SITS; Story.
From Fridays Daily.

From Fridays Daily.
The Suess fund has been turned over
to Mrs. Mary Suess, mother of Max
Suess, who lost his life on June 25
near Mud lake while attempting to
rescue two young ladies from drown
ing, who were in bathing and had
gotten into water beyond their depth.
The accident occurred during the high
water period in North Mankato and on
all the lands along the Minnesota
river, detailed accounts of which had
been published in various issues of
The Free Press during that period.
Paying Off a Mortgage.
Representatives of The Free Press
drove to the humble home of Mrs.
Mary Suess last evening, which is To-
Gated opposite Mud lake, to the right
of the road on what is known as the
lower st. Peter road, short ways
beyond Wendell Hodapp's. There under
the brow of the huge trees and brush
stands the house and two small build
ings, which Mrs. Suess purchased some
years ago, and : upon which there is
yet a mortgage of $l75. The son Max,
who lost his life, was assisting the
widowed mother in paying off this
encumbrance, thus endeavoring to gain
that which most mothers with chill
dreno long fora home-a place, be it
ever so humble, which they can call
their own-an abode where she could
raise the children left by late
father.
When the house was reached Mrs.
Suess was at neighbours and accom-
panied by young son was carrying
home pail partially filled with milk.
When met she was informed of the
fund which had been raised for her,
and it was there that she told The
Free Press of the mortgage on her
home and how happy she would be
that kind and sympathetic friends had
presented her with enough money to
meet this obligation, thus clearing her
home of debt, and permitting her to
use the small amount of money that
she could earn by working for others
to raise her family.
Speaks Kindly of Max.
'My boy Max was good boy and
he was great help to me-" said Mrs.
Suess, as her eyes filled with tears.
II will make good use of the money
given me and will make it 90 as
far as possible. l will pay off the
notes on my home which will make
me happy"
"Please thank everybody who gave
toward this fund and tell them I
will take good care of it."
Mrs. Suess has the appearance of
being hard toiler and does not talk
English very WELL The Free Press is
that she understands how to
handle the fund given her.
Before presenting the Suess fund to
The widow the money was placed in
The Mankato State bank and a saw
ngs book made out in her name for
S235.O5. The. pass book was accom-
panied by a list of the donors to the
fund.
The Free, Press desires to thank
hose who assisted in bringing hap
oiness to worthy widowed woman,
who has but recently been deprived
IF husband by death and later a
remaining mainstay and sup
bort to her in declining years. Every
,ne who gave cannot be thanked per-
,onai1y, but all who did can rest as
'ured that the money was needed and
will be used in paying off the mort
