CORN CROP A BIG ONE
ACCORDING TO LATEST FIGURES
2,ei4.ooo, 900 RUSHEL YIELD.
Present Prospects Only Twice Been
Exceeded; Crop Matured Before
Frost Came.

New York, Oct. According to the
final special report of the season to be
published in the Journal of Commerce
today, the condition of corn at harvest
as determined by the estimates of
l,250 special correspondents of an aver
age date of Sept. 80, is 1914 against
1913 last month, decline of points
This compares with condition of 1876
a year ago, 9O.l in 1906 and 1872 in 1905
while thelO-year average is 1916. Applying
the New York Produce exchange, the
indicated yield would be 2,6l4,00O,OOO
bushels a slight increase over last years
crop of 1852, 100000 bushels.
Present prospects have only twice
been exceeded, the year 1906 having
produced 1927 100000 bushels and
1905 2,7OS, 100000 bushels. As but very
little corn had been husked at the date
of the reports the correspondents es-
Inmates of the yield were of too wide
a range to reach strictly accurate
result, and it is probable that when
returns are completed the crop may
turn out large than now estimated.
This possibility is based on the rather
unusual condition of crop being prac-
tically matured without damage from
frost.

WEATHER FOR OCTOBER
REV. HICKS DEALS OuTA SERIES
OF STORM PERIODS.
Says Snow Will Fall Between 10th
and 18TH and Squalls Again the
Latter Part of Month.

Among other things Prof. Hicks
has the following to say of the
weather for October:
During the 9th, 10th, 18th and
18th, storms of wide magnitude and
marked violence will visit many parts
of the country, On or not far
from the 9th you will hear of, or
witness, some big autumnal storms
and gales. "Mind if you don't. Nor
thern states will have early snow
about the 10th to 18th, and an Octo-
Der cold wave will slip down over the
country between the 9th and l4th.
a reactionary storm period will
press itself on the 18th, 10th and
18th. On and touching these dates
look for change to warmer, falling
barometer, change of wind directions
with return of cloudiness and pre-
cipitation. Thick cloudiness, resulting
in autumnal drizzle, winding up with
sleet in many sections.
at will be well to figure on snow
squalls in northern sections on and
touching the 28th and Goth. There
is, as rule, decided squirt of cold
several weeks in advance of settled
winter, and with spell of fine, no.
derate weather intervening. This is
especially true at time when a venus
equinox falls late in September or
early in October"

rrom Mondays DaN.
P. E. Garlick, while acting as night
yard master for the Chicago & North
western road Saturday evening met
with a very serious accident. He was
doing the work of night yard master
Young, who is away, and that was
his second night of this work. He
was cutting cas- off at about eight
o'clock near the Rock street crossing,
helping two green brakemen, and in
so doing, while walking along ahead of
freight car that was being backed
west by switch engine in charge of
Engineer Schicht he caught his shoe
between the rail and the planking on
the street crossing and was unable
to get it loose in time. He learned out
and as his latern went down Engineer
Schicht knew that something was
wrong and stopped at once, but not
until one pair of trucks had passed
over Mr. Garlich's ankle, practically
severing the left foot.
Taken to a Hospital.
The brakeman and engineer fastened
to Mr.. Garlick's assistance, and he was
taken to his home, on North Front
street, and from there to Immanua'
hospital, where the foot was am
putated at a point five or six inches
above where the member was mangled
by the wheels. Mr.. Garlick took the
accident cody and did not lose con-
seriousness at any time.
The injured man has been in the
employ of the Chicago & Northwestern
road for thirty years, and formerly
lived at Winona. He has been work
ing in Mankato off and on for five
years, doing one kind of work and
then another, in the handling of freight
trains. He is a competent and faith
full man of middle age, and belongs
to the Masonic and other orders. He
has many friends who greatly regret
his accident.

at the station and carried in automo-
biles to the opera house.
Introductory Remarks.
AS the curtain raised there was deaf
ening applause quieted by Mayor An
drews who very briefly introduced Mr..
McCleary, almost as briefly introducing
Governor Hughes, saying:
Ladies and gentlemen, neighbors and
friends: the history of the world is
in the lives of its great men. We have
with us today one of the great men
of this nation, and of the world; great
in character, supremely great in abni-
ty. A son, descendant of that party
race that was unconquered and un-
comparable. He has made good every
where. He has risen high. Shall he
rise higher? I have very great pleasure
indeed in presenting to you the Gov
ernor of New York, Honorable Charles
f. Hughes.
Governor Hughes arose quickly and
the few steps he took to the center
of the stage suggested briskness. He
is tall, clean cut man of that pecu-
liar presence that tends to inspire en-
tire confidence. He is remarkably
gifted speaker. His enunciation is re-
markable clear his control of language
excellent, and he speakes in a pleas
ing tone and with a very graceful
style of delivery. He spoke about half
an hour enjoying the closest attention
every minute. His talk was loudly
applauded.
Governor Hughes spoke as follows:
Mr. Chairman, fellow citizens:
thank you for your very generous
words and am very glad indeed to
come into this position with the grace
that has been represented by one who
has stood so high in the counsel of
the party. I believe this western air
agrees with me. I lost my voice in

ever delivered before a Mankato audi
ence.
Crowd Was Big and Expectant.
Governor Hughes filled the anticipa-
tions of that crowd of people who stood
out in the rain for half an hour
awaiting his arrival tolerated disap-
pointment in giving up the places they
had held some minutes to insure them
selves positions within hearing distance
then raced to the opera house and
fought for seats-all the time, uncon-
sciously, perhaps paying the distin-
guished speaker a very sincere COM
pliment.
Outdoor Meeting Impossible.
Only few minutes before the hour
scheduled for the meeting was it
announced that the address would be
delivered at the theatre. The aban-
donment of the plan to hold the meet
ing in the splendid big platform finely
arranged under the direction of w. III.
Anderson at the corner of Second and
jackson streets, was not thought of
until the weather conditions gave no
promise of becoming better suited to
the comfort of the audience and a
message came from the ''Hughes spec
ial,' that Governor Hughes was ,suf-
fering from a bad throat and an out
door meeting would be very trying if
not entirely impossible.
Marched In the Rain.
Then came the announcement that
the big meeting would be held at the
theatre and mad rush for that build
ing. An army of people that had
damned the store rooms and side
walks on Jackson street, augmented in
number by bevy of normal students
who had been waiting at the post
office building, together with innumer-
able school children, joined an um-
brella covered procession down second
street. When the theatre doors swere
thrown open there was a whirl through
the doors and down the aisles for
seats and within ten minutes every
seat including the benches in the gal
lery was filled and people were crowd
ing to get standing room and many
were striving for admittance to the

stage where a number of seats had
been arranged.
Voters In a Majority.
1t was not asgathering of curious
people but an Audience of which the
large majority were voters. The meet
ing was perhaps the most successful
gathering of thes kind ever held in
Mankato and it is doubtful if the
principal presidential nominees could
either of them have attracted larger
OF more enthusiastic crowd. 1t was
a rousing meeting enthusiastic with
out all the torchlights and professions
that were so necessary to the old
fashioned political meeting.

The Physician, Who Is Of St.PauI, Dis
cusses Results of the Recent
Conference at Washington.

Dr. Carl Wirth has returned from
Washington, d. c., where he attended
the national tuberculosis convention.
Speaking today at his office in regard
to the convention, DR.. Wirth said:
"The convention, while a good thing
in that it brought together many sci
entists and medical men who by the
interchange of views gained much in
knowledge concerning their profession
and the treatment of the dread disease
known as the, white plague, did not
really treat of any new discovery or
method to be employed in the care OF
victims of this disease. The matters
that came up We're all known to the
profession years ago. If course, the
convention was of benefit to people
afflicted with the disease who came
to listen and study, but the doctrines
were all the same as regards the
disease itself, viz: Fresh air, plenty
of nourishing food and water and rest.
This later / do not agree with. be-
lieve that the patient should be given
exercise to make him have strength in
his muscles. If he is given food in
plenty and little exercise his health

had tuberculosis and I always recon-

WISDOM OF PRUSSIA.

In 1879 the kingdom Of Prussia be-
gan to acquire the railroad systems Of
the country and the process was con-
tinued until the state now owns and
operates 21,50O miles Of railroad
which includes all except two or three
very small lines in the kingdom.
It has paid off, from current reve-
nue., one-third OF the total cost, con-
structed branch lines as required and
made large equipment expenditures
which in this and most other coun-
tries would have been capitalized, and
for the last ~ years has earned an
average net revenue OF 7.12 per cent
per annum, which has been paid into
the treasury.
Recent appralsements show that in
any favorable condition Of the money
market the state system could be sold
for double its cost to the state, as
may well be believed from the net
