We have two years within which
to compile the full report. Between
now and Jan. /, we shall study not
only the Mississippi from st. Paul to
the mouth, but also the Ohio, the Mis-
souri, and eastern and southern water
ways. Probably We shall send COM

examine the waterways there. Our
full report will cover not merely the
subject of navigation, but the whole
question of the conservation OF our
water resources. including water
power, and forestry, and every other

WILL NOT Be TRIED
Outcome of Mothers Trial-Ae-
quittal-Means Louise Arbo-
CAST Will be Freed.
Family Reunion.

Louise Arbogast will never be tried
for the murder of her father.
The authorities do not yet announce
this officially but it is the fact.
She was indicted with her mother,
Mrs. Nina Arbogast, who was acquit-
ted last Thursday, but was released
later on $4,000 bail and is still at
liberty.
There is in the states possession no
new evidence against Louise, and the
chances of securing her conviction in
the event of a trial are believed to be
remote, IN the face of the acauittal OF
the girls mother.
1t was said more than week ago
that Louise would not be prosecuted.
but r. D. O'Brien, county attorney.
would not substantiate the statement
then, and still declines to discuss at
length this phase of the case.
He said, however, that the case of
Louise will be taken up with Judge
Grier M. Orr, presiding over the GRIM
inal calendar, but does not explain
what recommended ions he may make.
Even to nolle the case against Louise
it would be necessary to stake the case
up with Judge Orr" so this statement
of Mr.. O'Brien does not necessarily
mean that the girl will be put on trial
During the trial of Mrs. Arbogast
nothing to show that Louise had any
direct connection with the crime was
developed. Louise was placed upon
the witness stand, but claimed her
statutory right to refuse to testify
while under Indictment for the same
crime.
Babe" who slept with Louise the
night OF the murder, does not remem-
Der whether or not her sister was still
in their room when she was awakened
by her mothers screams.
There was a family reunion at the
Arbogast home, 286 W. It'll ST., Thurs
day afternoon, when Mrs. Arbogast
arrived from the county Jail.
AS soon as the verdict was returned
81. 81. Flor, who was associated with.
P. J. Mclaughlin in the defense, tele--
phoned for an automobile, and noti-
fed the Arbogast girls that their
mother had been acquitted. Ida, Min
ME and 'sBabe" rushed Immediately
to the county Jail, arriving there be-
fore their mother. Soon Mrs. Arbo-
CAST came in the automobile from the
courthouse, and there was general
hugging and kissing among the menu
bers of the family.
| Mrs. Arbogast's few belongings had
already Seen packed, and the glad
| party left Immediately for the Arbo-
| CAST home.
| Several neighbors called during the,
afternoon to congratulate Mrs. Arbo-
CAST upon her acquittal, among them
Mrs. Garvey and Mrs. Wigen, but
toward night the door was locked and
none but members of the family was
allowed to enter.

DRAINAGE Law INVALID
Court Rules on Assessment for
County bitches.

One more drain age law has been de-
clared unconstitutional by the supreme
court.
In an opinion fled by Justice c. L.
Brown in the Renville county appeal
OF John A. Mcclure, the court de-
clares that section 26 of the 1905
drainage law is unconstitutional in so
far as it attempts to confer upon the
county board authority to enlarge or
widen or deepen previously constructed
bitches, and assess the cost upon ad-
jacent property without notice to
owners of that property or opportuni-
ty for them to be heard.
The decision of the Renville county
court is reversed.

A Leading Educator on the Inter
national Live Stock Exposition.

Here is what Dean Davenport at the
Illinois Agricultural college says of
the International Live Stock expo
sition of Chicago, which is to be held
at the Union Stock Yards from Nov.
q to Dec. 10:
"Not one, not even those respon-
sible for it's Development, has adequate
conception of the influence of the
International upon American live
stock interests. AS a practical edu-
Gator it cannot be surpassed; as a
stimulus to trade, it has no equal; as
a means of shaping policies and
correcting ideals, its influence is
supreme.
GA decade Or two ago such thing
would not have been possible in this
country, It seems incredible now th at
a company organized primarily for
business, should see its way to expend
so much time, energy, and money in
the establishment of such an expo
sition That it will pay there is no
doubt. The pay will come in a thou
sand ways. The live stock interests
will be more prosperous; the individ-
ual farmer who lives by it will be
more successful, and the multitude OF
interests that depend upon live stock
will thrive the better for it.
1.-THE marvel of it all is that such a
thing could be at all. It shows the
breadth of the commercial spirit In
this country, the generosity of live
stock men, and the readiness of the
American farmer to respond to modern
methods and conditions.
"What should be said of tie man
who does not go? That he is blind to
his own best interests is certain; that
he will get behind in the race anu 8.
lost in the shuttle is no less true; that
the young man who will come on after
him will ultimately possess his herds
aud his land, goes without saying.
This is the age when every business
must be studied, and farming is nc
exception, indeed it looks more and
more as if farming were coming to be
one of the most complicated profes-
sions and that the more is learned OF
it the more complicated it becomes.
stLet the International live long
and prosper. This certainly will be
true. The only uncertainty is how
much good will individuals get out OF
it. This rests entirely upon them and
depends upon whether they attend the
exposition or whether they stay at
home and find fault with what they
have not helped to accomplish. May
they and others go. =

Gumption on the Farm.

I bought pretty cottage
On the outskirts of the town;
Then was afraid wind would come
And blow my cottage down.
Nor North wind, nor East wind,
Such a scurvy trick would play;
But up there came mortgage wind
And swept my house away.
The only man not deeply concerned
in good roads in your county is the
tramp who goes that way but once.
A good many folks will have cold
fingers before they are through husk-
ing corn this fall. Don't let that
somebody be.you.
Keep lot of bag strings hanging
in the granary; and, many times, some
in the barn come handy. A broken
harness-snap is good thing to hang
them on.
The folks who do the most daWdline
in the ine autumn weather are often
the most surprised when the cold, wet
season catches them with their out
door work half done
A horse will do more. and do it ten
times more willingly, for the man who
has kindly ring in his voice and
who says, "Get up!'' as if he were
going along, too.
Some farmers are surprised the first
time their wives sell enough eggs and
butter to furnish the table and the
wardrobe, and after that they are sur
prised it she doesn't keep tup.
Save the beautiful things in nature.
Don't cut down shapely pine or
poplar just to see if the ak is sharp;
and when grubbing out fields, set the
fine, straight hardwood shrubs in
some forest tract for future use.
All rubbish about the place that
would harbor insects and other pests
SHOULD be cleaned up and burned. Il
it has not already been done, hotbeds
and cold-frames should be cleaned up
and soil prepared Tor bedding.
There are life insurance, FIRE insur.
ance, storm insurance and stock In.
surance, ali OF tnem good enough so
far. the, &c, but none Of them quite
equal to the industry that insures
against unhappiness and want in old
age.
We can afford to buy hand force
pump just for washing carriages and
wagons. Pressing even the softest
cloth on them will scratch the paint.
By washing them thoroughly with the
pump first, We may follow with the
cloth with good results.
Now that the days are shorter you
will be doing chores sometimes after
dark. Make it a rule never to set the
lantern down on the floor. Hang il
up where it will not be knocked over.
It is an awful thing to have the barn
burn up. By the way, harness snap
suspended from the ceiling by bit OF
old pump-chain is good thing to
hang the lantern on. Have it Just
above the reach of your head.

The 1nsunerab1e Anticipation.

A young Scotch emigrant was
brought before the magistrate Of n
Nova Scotia court, charged with hav-
ing deserted his work on a certain
farm without giving due notice to his
employer. When asked what he had
to say in his defense, he replied. "Weel,
they gled me nout but brakeshaw to
eat" Brakeshaw, it may be explained,
is the flesh of animals which have died
natural death.
"How was that?' asked the magis-
trate.
"Weel, it was this way. Ye ken, the
auld coo deed an we ate 1t, the auld
steg (gander) deed an we ate OF, the
auld 500 (sow) deed an we ate 1t, the
auld bubblejock deed an we ate it.

have to get the three slots opposite to

don't you have to depend on your in

wheels small hole, through which you
can put wire through the back Of the

Rather a Neat Job


My profession isn't popular one.
There Is considerable prejudice against
it. l don't myself think It's much worse
than a good many others However,
that's nothing to do with my story
Some years ago me and the gentleman
who was at that time connected with
me I'm business-he's met with reverses
since then, and at present isn't able to
get out-were looking around for job,
being at that time rather hard up, as
you might say. We struck a small
country town. amt a-goin to give 1t
away by telling where 1t was, or what
the name If 1t was. There was one bank
there: the president was a rich old
duffer: owned the mills, owned the
bank, owned most of the town. There
wasn't no other officer but the cashier,
and they had boy, who used to sweep
out and run Of errands.
The bank was on the main street,
pretty we'll up one end of it-nice, snug
place, on the corner of cross street,
with nothing very near 1t. We took our
observations and found there wasn't no
trouble mt all about it. There was n
old watchman that walked up and down
the streets nights, when he didn't fall
asleep and forget it. The vault had two
doors; the outside one was chilled iron,
and a three wheel combination lock
the inner door wasn't no door ft all
you could kick 1t open. 1t didn't pre-
tend to be nothing but fireproof, and 1t
wasn't even that. The first thing We
done, of course. was to fit key to the
outside door AS the lock on the out
side door was an old-fashoned Bacon
lock, any gentleman in my profession
who chances to read this article will
know Just how easy that job was, and
how we did II.
This was our plan: After the key
was fitted | was to go into the bank
and Jim-that wasn't his name. OF
course, but let 1t pass-was to keeI
watch on the outside. When any one
passed he was to tip me a whistle, ant
then doused the gllm and lay low
after they got by, goes on again
Simple and easy, you see. Well, tn,
night as we selected the president hap
pened to be out of town; gone down t.
the city, as he often did. got insid,
all right. with slide lantern, breas
drill, small steel Jimmy, bunch O
skeleton keys and green baize bag, t,
stow the swag. fixed my light ant
rugged my breast drill, and got to worl
on the door right over the lock.
Probably great many Of our read
ers are not SO well posted as me abou
bank locks, and may say for then
that a three wheel combination lock ha
