Which Lay Him Up in Bed.

NJ. A. Hammer, who drives a team

with bad accident this forenoon. He
was driving south on South Front

This frightened the animals and they
made dash, and he was dragged un-
der their hoofs for short distance.
until the team could be stopped.
Mr.. Hammer was removed to doc
tors office and his injuries attended
to. 1t was found that he was badly
bruised about the head, and had sus-
tanned q severe cut on one lip, and a
fracture of the fourth rib on the right

OF the runaway were Mortified, and
feared that he was more badly hurt
than proved to be the case.

ITALIAN TOLD TO GO AWAY
He Was Fussing Around the Governors
Office Too Much.

st. Paul, Nov. 24.-Michael Angelo
Scavo, the Italian who was wounded
In stabbing afray last spring, was
given notice at the governors office
yesterday that if he bothers them
again he will be arrested. Scavo has
been bothering the office every few
days for couple of months and last
week the chief of police was consulted
and advised that if Scavo made more
trouble they should notify the Rondo
police station.
Scavo went to the county attorney
several times trying to get him to
take some action against the man who
stabbed him. But the guilty party is
gone, no one knows where, and the
prosecutor was unable to do ANYTHING
Scavo wanted him to offer a reward
Failing in this he appealed to Governor
johnson. He talked to him so LONG
and loud that w. F. Williams, the
governors messenger, had to take him
out. Scavo thinks there is a woman
who knows where his assaiIant ba g
gone and that she would tell the gov.
ernor, but will not tell the county at
torney.
After Governor Eberhart came into
office Scavo called again. But Eber-
mart, like his predecessor, told him it
was matter for the county attorney
and that he could do nothing for him.
but he came again and again. Yester-
day when he came up j. A. O. Preus,
the executive clerk, told him empha-
tlcally to keep away. The other en-
Ployes feared dreadful consequences
from arousing Scavo's anger. A little
later Williams found him still linger.
ing outside the office and diplomati-
cally told him that if he bothered them
again the police would be called.

DENIED THE MOTION
FRANK SMITH WILL HAVE TO
STAND TRIAL FOR MURDER.
Judge Pfau Renders Decision on the
Application to Quash the 11ndict
ment; Defendant Enters Plea Of
Not Guilty; Gillick to Be Sen
fenced on Friday Morning; Garlicl
Damage Case Being Put to Jury.

Judge Pau yesterday afternoon rem
dered a decision on the motion of the
defense to quash the indictment
against Frank Smith He took the
matter up shortly after five o'clock
and said that he had carefully looked
over all of the papers and affidavits
of both sides and had considered
the matter as thoroughly as he had
been able to in the time that he had
had. He had been forced to the con-
elusion that the affidavits and show
ing of the defense had been thoroughly
met by the affidavits and showing
of the state, and he therefore denied
the motion. He was sorry that mat
tiers had transpired that had made
the motion possible, but further than
this he thought that nothing more
need be said.
Plea of Not Guilty.
Arthur Schaub, representing the de-
PENDANT, took exceptions to the de-
cision, and then announced that his
client would enter a plea of not
guilty.
Judge Pau neld conference with
Mr.. Sehaub and County Attorney Ply
mat and talked over the time for the
trial of the case. Mr. Schaub an
nounced that he might move for a
continuance until the February term

PLAN FOR THE WORK
FIGHT ON THE WHITE PLAGUE
TO BE INSTITUTED HERE.
Committee Holds a Session to Map
Out Program; Statement Is Made
That Houses Where tuberculosis
Existed Are Not Fumigated; the
Health Officer States No Provision
Made for Precautionary Measure.

The committee appointed the even
ing that DR.. Mccormack lectured in
the city held a meeting at the of
flee of the chairman, DR.. Ida Os-
born, last evening, and planned the
work to be undertaken. 1t is pro-
posed that the different clubs of the
city first take up the subject of the
prevention of tuberculosis, and discuss
it at meetings to be held in January,
and that at later meetings they take
up other topics and discuss them.
Teachers Will Cooperate.
The teachers in the schools of the
city will be invited to hold meet
ing or meetings to consider the topics
to be presented, and in every way it
is hoped to further the educative
work, for the preservation of the pub
lie health.
Instances were cited at the meet
ing last evening where there had been
cases of tuberculosis in families, and
while the parties were still sick the
families mad moved to other houses
and the houses from which they
moved were occupied by other fam
lilies without being fumigated, thus ex.
posing the newcomers to the disease
No Provision for Fumigating.
The then city health officer had
said, when his attention was called
to it, that there was no provision fol-
the city fumigating houses where there
had been no deaths, and that unless
the owners did it or the incoming oc.
cupants, there was no way to have it
DONE
This was the committees first
meeting and it was we'll attended and
a good deal of enthusiasm shown in
the interest of health, and campaign
OF education will be started that it
is hoped will bear good fruit.

ACT NOT ON THE PLAY BILL
Manager Griebel Has Reason to Feel
Hostile at Some Folks.

One thing occurred at the Mankato
Theatre last night that was not an
nounced on the play bill-patrons of
Is cent seats quickly pre-empting 81
seats after the curtain had assembled
on the first Manager Griebel did
not like this performance at all; Meth
er did the ushers; but they held their
peace. However, Manager Griebel made
the statement today that should the
thing occur again the guilty ones will
be requested to leave the theatre. This
will be done quietly, but if they fail
to move toward the door more strenu-
Gus measures will be adopted. Mama
ger Griebel is a patient, long suffering
gentleman, but there are times when
patience ceases to be one of his vir-
tues. When patrons of the theatre
buy Is cent seat that is all they are
entitled to, and when they plant them
selves in 81 seats they are obtaining
something under false pretenses-to
state the case mildly. A word to the
wise should be sufficient.

LIVE MOUSE DOWN THROAT
Joke Played on Sleeping Man and Now
Matter Is in Court.

omaha, Neb., Nov. 24.-"I am not
Just clear as to whether it was assault
and battery, or assault to do great
bodily harm," remarked Judge Jacob
Levy, "but 1 will issue warrant of
arrest and place him under bond to
appear week hence, and in the mean
time L will look up the authorities
and find out just what crime it is to
compel a man to swallow a mousse
John Sacra secured his warrant and
George Howan was arrested on a
charge of assault.
Inc two men in the case live at
South Omaha, and for many years
they were friends. However. tnev
Iail to speak now as they pass, and
all on account of Howan feeding Sacra
a live mouse that played hide and
seek IN Sacra's intestines until it was
smothered to death.
Both Sacra and Howan are cattle
buyers at the stockyards. The other
day when business was dull, they were
loaflng in the Exchange building. Sac
IA sat in a chair and fell asleep. As
ne slept, his mouth opened. Howan is
a practical joker. He happened to
catch a live mouse, and, showing it
TO some of the bystanders, remarked:
See me make John eat this"
stepping up to the side of Sacra
VINO was sound asleep and his mouth
open an inch or more, he dropped the
mouse into the cavity, at the same
time grasping his victims nose. This
act forced Sacra to close his mouth
and swallow. As he did so, the
mouse scrambled about to escape, and
presumably concluding that direct
route was down Sacra's throat, started
in that direction.
By this time Sacra was wide awake
and fighting mad. He was told That
ne had swallowed a mouse, and he
knew that he had. swallowed something
Tor he could feel it tearing around
and scratching at his vitals. Up and
down it ran, while Sacra danced and
called for help.
Finally some man brought him
glass of liquor, and, swallowing this.
the mouse soon ceased its antics and
evidently died.
Howan declared that the whole thing
was intended as a joke, but Sacra in
sisted that he could not see any joke
in man eating mice, and proposed to
have revenge. He hurried to the Of
five of Judge Levy and there lodged
his complaint, demanding a warrant.
He was referred to the city prosecutor,
Attorney Murphy, who aided him, and
who will assist the Judge in determin-
ing under just what provision the
swallowing of mouse comes. Both
officials, however, are inclined to the
opinion that if Howan is guilty at all,
it is of violating the pure food law.

Now let the play commence
Dainty as Fairy.


/ Miss OFT is pretty, sweet, vivacious
and dainty as fairy and at once
captivated her audience with her
winning manner, sweet voice and ar
tistic dancing. As Miss OFT left the
stage, the curtain rose upon a scene
! in fairyland, with its graceful hanging
baskets of rainbow and flower effects
/ its dazzling festoons of colored electric
lights and brilliant crimson japanese
! lanterns, all suggestive of dreamland
and fairy bowers. Add to this scene
bevy of beautiful girls in the pref
test of dainty flower costumes, some
bearing beautiful boxes of flowers ar
tistically balanced upon their heads
and others waving pretty festooonings
of roses, and you have something
worth looking at, even before they
begin to sing and so musical and
tuneful was their music, that before
the opening chorus, la Fete Cham
petre," was half finished, the entire
audience knew that the success OF
the evening was an assured fact.
Miss Cornelia Mansfield was charm
ing in the role of Flower Girl" anu
her voice never sounded sweeter or
clearer. The throwing of nosegays to
Z the audience was not only effective
but very gracefully accomplished.
/ Miss Otis second appearance was
greeted with much applause and her
song, I'm Looking For Sweetheart
responded to by Everett Dodds, from
one of the boxes, was one of the
biggest song hits of the evening
Miss Kate Hubbard's song, "Tney
Always Follow Me-" assisted by a
chorus of fourteen adoring youths
was one of the great favorites with the
audience. All Miss Hubbard has to
do, is just to be herself, and that
pleases everyone.
Mr.. Macdonald was very fortunate
in being able to bring to Mankatc
. so pleasing vocalist as Mrs. Grace
MacLindon Bartle of La Crosse, who with
her chorus of eight Dutch maidens
capitivated everyone in ner little Pink
Petty from Peter" song which she
gave in her own inimitable way. Mrs
Bartle's voice is one of rare bril-
liancy and added to her talent as 6
soloist Mrs. Bartle has a wonderful
amount of ability as an actress.
The Piece De Resistance.
aren't You the Girl 1 Met a.
Sherry's?" sung by Mr.. Macdonald
was an especially attractive feature o
the musical numbers. Assisting Mr.
Macdonald in this musical sketch, Mis-
Georgia Phillips, as cone of the Girls
won much applause in the rendering
of the song, and also for her yer,

From the graceful rendering of the
prologue by pretty Miss Elsie OFT, to
the jolly 'Good Bye People, the near
professial amateur company, who own
ed the opera house last night, de-
lighted a large and unusually enthus-
iastic audience, who followed the
players "Up and Down Broadway
with a zest that showed that every
one was happy.
The production was huge success
from every possible viewpoint, and
there was nothing to criticise and
everything to enjoy. The audience
could not have been a more appre-
ciative one, and it was easy to see
that the "Up and Down Broadway -
people themselves were also thoroughly
enjoying the event.
Never has an amateur performance
been given in Mankato in which every
detail was displayed to such good add
vantage, and Mr.. Macdonald deserves,
and is receiving on all sides, the en-
thusiastic and sincere approval of the
people of Mankato, and Mankato is
prouder than ever to feel that it has
among its own young people so much
talent in the way of musical voices
and artistic dancers, not forgetting the
stars in caricature and burlesque line
Was Delightfully."- Pleasing.
Not only delightfully."- pleasing, but
thoroughly artistic and spirited, was
the musical event of Cup and Down
Broadway" given last night by tbs
Elks' lodge under the direction of DON
aid Macdonald. Too much cannot be
said in praise of the light opera event,
and when it is remembered that the
production was put on in less than
two weeks, it speaks volumes of praise
for Mr.. MacDonald's remarkable exec
utive ability, as a director of dramatic
art, which requires also an artistic
temperament, diplomacy and tact But
aside from all of Mr. MacDonald's
ability, one can easily see that he
thoroughly loves his work, and is in
harmony with every phase of it, and
these characteristics stand for success
up and Down Broadway" is a
unique and pretty arrangement OF
musical and vaudeville sketches, woven
together so attractively that they can
never fail to please. Such was the
edict that went out last night, regard
ing the musical dramatic event.
Just before the raising of the cur
tain, Miss Elsie OFT of La Crosse, ex
pressed the evenings greeting in the
following unique prologue:.

Pray cease your conversation,
! And in our humble sort of way
Well now present our little play
For your consideration.

Must take the place of story,
Our aim is to amuse each one,
And if you cry ''Bravo Well done!
Well ask no greater glory.

taking one quickly from the sublime
to the ridiculous. Mr.. Buffers walk
in this sketch was so unique that
it would doubtless become popular
with the Mankato youths if they
could initiate it, which they never
could. This act was the piece de
resistance of the performance.
The second act opened with one of
the catchiest of the whole program,
81 Can't Do That Sum-" song and
dance, by Miss Marjorie Gerlach and
Mr. Macdonald, with original words
by Charles R. Butler. Miss Gerlach
was a bewitching little parsonage in
her part, and her dancing brought
forth round of applause, which was
well deserved. Meanwhile the little
'Kiddies," perched high on big board
fence, looked very cute with their
dollies, states and Teddy bears.
''The Glow Worm" song which was
Miss Mansfeld's second appearance,
was the signal for big round of
applause, Miss Mansfield receiving a
huge armful of flowers as she entered
pecially attractive one, and was
charmingly rendered by Miss Mansfield,
assisted by a large chorus bearing
small electric flash lights who fitted
to and fro, which together with the
colored electrical effects, made a. most
pleasing scene.
Miss Hubbard's second solo, "The
Tickle Maid" with a chorus of young
men, was a delight from the moment
Miss Hubbard appeared, followed by
her admirers, whom she drove about
the stage in most graceful manner,
with silken reins, all the while sing
ing the pretty song, that made the
number a wonderfully attractive one.
The "Chick Song" from the "Coun-
try Girl" sung by Miss OFT and Mr..
Macdonald, was the hit eccentrique of
the evening, the dancing being delight
fully aesthetic and airy.
Best of the Chorus
The "Smoke Song" was perhaps the
best of the chorus work, with Mr.
John Regain as the soloist. The large

"TALLOW DIPS" BY Mr.. MILES
An Interesting Lecture Delivered II
North Mankato Last Evening.


Robert Parker Miles gave his lec-
ture, "Tallow Dips" before very
large and enthusiastic audience last
night at the Belgrade Methodist church
in North Mankato. Mr.. Miles lecture
while of biographical nature, was so
filled with happy incidents, told in
Mr.. Miles dramatic way, that it proved
a lecture much out of the ordinary
Mr.. Miles was formerly connected with
The New York Journal, and related
some of the most interesting of his
experiences in newspaper life, MIR. Miles
having the rare talent of bringing out
in vivid descriptions the interesting
characteristics of people whom he has
met. Every seat in the church was
filled and the lecture proved equally
pleasing and entertaining to both young
and old.
Mr.. Miles first told of George Fran
els Train of New York, the great pro
moter, plunger and millionaire
whom Mr.. Miles knew intimately. A
very vivid and graphic description, also
a careful comparison was drawn by
the lecturer between the life in the
east and west, in which Mr.. Miles fel
that the west had the greater advan
tages. Impressions of Gladstone, were
also given in an attractive and instruc
tive way by Mr.. Miles, also the life
of Newell Dwight Hillin, successor o.
Henry Ward Beecher, at the Brooklyn
Tabernacle was made very interesting
MIR. Miles having visited with Mr.
Hillin's mother at her home in Iowa
Pope Leo, of Rome, was another of the
great characters whom Mr.. Miles hat
met and studied in detail.
MIR. Miles lecture was a pleasure t,
everyone who listened to him, and tn
large audience that greeted him wa
sufficient evidence that the lecture
course in North Mankato is proving
very pleasant social feature.

KELLOGG SAYS DON'T KNOW
He Is Not Decided Whether He'll Be
Senatorial Candidate.

st. Paul, Nov. 24.-"Im not can
didate and do not know whether /
will be a candidate"
This is Frank B. Kellogg's answer
to query regarding his possible race
for United States senator against
Moses E. Clapp, and while neither af-
firming nor denying, the politicians
generally take it that he will be in
the game.
As far as state capitol circles are
concerned the promise of rival for
Senator Clapp now overshadows the
governorship in the daily gossip, which
is feature of that building, and most
of it runs kindly to the st. Paul trust
buster. The men there regard him
as one likely to be dangerous OPP
ponent if he should get into the race.
In the get-together program, which
has been feature of the republican
campaign to date, the big leaders
have been rallying around the Clapp
standard Anything antagonistic to
him has been frowned upon and the
boys generally have been advised to
get into line. One ticket and one
platform has been their cry, but the
Standard Oil decision of Saturday
gives the whole thing another color
and they may be compelled to hedge
for the present at least.
The zone ticket" slogan naturally
means the side tracking of all candi-
dates for state offices outside of those
agreed upon by the leaders. This
means a. o. Eberhart for governor,
and Senator Clapp to succeed himself.
Whether this feature of the game is
sanctioned or not by the present ex-
ecutive is not known, still the two
are friendly, something that received
considerable prominence Saturday when
Gus Widell of Mankato, Governor
Eberhart's business partner, gave it as
his opinion that Senator Clapp would
be rejected.
"He is right on all questions and he
is close to the people," said Mr.. Wi
dell, Il do think he cannot be de-
feated"
Mr.. Kellogg has maintained the
strictest silence regarding his possible
candidacy and it is said he will keep
the boys in the dark for a while. All
kinds of gossip have been carried to
him, but he has refused to discuss any
of it.
