ADVERTISING MS BUSINESS.

There is one saloonman in Tomb
stone, Arizona, that believes in being
frank with the public. He keeps the
Temple Bar saloon and advertises his
business in remarkable manner. Ac-
cording to a story recently sent out
from there, he has had cards printed
bearing the following words: Friends
and Neighbors: 1 am grateful for past
favors, and having supplied my. store
with a fine line of choice liquors, al
low me to inform you that shall con-

set for, the court stated that the law
forbids children under the age of sew
enteen years to attend trials of this
kind, and they would not be permitted
to attend after this session.
1t was finally decided to set the
time for the examination for July Fl
at 8 a. m, and the court announced
that it wonld be held at the court
house. He directed that the defend
ents be remanded to the custody of
the sheriff. f
The court room will be much more
commodious and airy.
A large portion of the audience to-
day was composed of women, who
were intensely interested in the pro-
ceedings.
Mrs. Childs of Good Thunder, a sis
ter-in-law of the deceased, sat within
the railing, beside p. A. Ledbeter.
Claim 1t Was Plot.
f. f. Keith feels deeply on the
subject of the murder of his brother
in-law. He refused to be interviewed
at this time, but few moments con-
versation with him would convince al
most anyone that Ledbeter's death was
the result of deep laid plot extend
ing back for some time, and that
Smith, if he actually committed the
murder, was merely acting as pliable
tool in the hands of far more in.

family would not have been surprised

SOME SHARP CRITICISM.

One of the subscribers to The Ere,
Press requested that the following ex
tract be published:
There is considerable fault finding
by large number of our citizens that
attended the Mankato celebration be-
cause of the eXtortionate prices charg-
ed to see some of the amusements
They thought 10 cents pretty strong to
witness a ball game, and a poor one
at that. Fifty cents to stand horse
in a livery stall. was another evi.
dence of extortion 1t is always ex-
pected at such celebrations that greed
for the pockets" stultifies the better
conscience of men, and it is this kind
of averice that leaves in its trail fault
finding of visitors who expected fairer
financial treatment. 1t should be bet
ter on such occasions, if committee
charge, would advertise the amuse-
ments for which admittance fees would
be charged and the amount to be
charged. Then if the visitor, with his
eyes open, desires to take it in, well
and good. and he has no further room
to register kick"

thing should have occurred during the
Independence day celebration in Man.

ticism.
That kind of criticism does not tend
to create favorable impression of
Mankato, and it certainly does not
warm the cookies of peoples hearts
toward the business men of this city.

CHAMP CLARK Did
NOT APPEAR TODAY
From Mondays Daily.

''oh tUVuudyS OdiIy.
Champ Clark of Missouri, minority
leader in the national house, did not
deliver his lecture on picturesque Pub
nc Men" in Mankato today.
AT the opening of the ,Chauauaua
program this afternoon, when it was
expected the distinguished Missourian
would appear it was announced that
so engrossed was he with the tariff
measure, that he felt obliged to can
eel his local engagement and STAY
ON the job in the national capitol.
Every chair under the big Chautau.
qua tent was filled at 2:3O o'clock
this afternoon and the large audience
was pleased with the very interesting
lecture delivered by Judge Estelle of
the juvenile court of Omaha.
Judge Estelle, who is one of the
prominent jurists of the middle west,
and speaker of fine presence and
splendid delivery, was as favorabfy
received as was Judge Lindsay of
Denver, one of the most prominent
men in juvenile work in the country,
who appeared during the Y. M. C. A.
lecture course last winter. He en-
jOyed the closest attention of the large
audience, and appeared to such ad-
vantage as overcame any disappoint
ment that might have been occasioned
by the failure of Representative Clark
to fulfill mis- engagement.
The initial program of the 1909 Blue
Earth County Chautauqua program
was opened by Superintendent j. Q.
Robinson who made his Introductory
bow to Mankato people and promised
the best program ever given. at any
Chautauqua in southern Minnesota.
The fine concert played by the
Royal Hungarian orchestra and the
splendid lecture delivered by Judge
Estelle, gave evidence that Mr.. Rob.
inson's promise will be redeemed. The
performance by the fine musical or
ganization was of a character that
would warrant the prediction that the
tent will be packed this evening when
program of "Last Seasons Favorites"
will be rendered under the leadership
of Louis Lipski.
1t. was reported today as doubtful
if Robert M. LaFollette would fill his
engagement on next Saturday. Super
intendent Robinson refused to confirm
the rumor and said that he would
Immediately get into communicat ton
with the chief offices and make an
early announcement if there was the
slightest foundation for the rumor.
Barring this possible exception, the
Chautauqua program will be given as
previously advertised. Tomorrow morn
ing will be given to Seton Indian work
which has created so much interest
among the children. and lecture on
the subject, whittier ana the Democ-
racy of Puritanism" The Steele En-
tertainers will appear for the first
time tomorrow afternoon and the fea.
ture of the program will be the lecture,
"Search for the Golden Fleece" Hal
Merton, the magician, and the Royal
English Hand Bell Ringers will supply
the entertainment tomorrow evening.
The Chautauqua mas opened under
favorable auspices and every indica-
tion points to its success this season.

Jackson Republic who is afflicted with
cancer of the stomach, and nothing car

ternity. Mr.. Mallahan accepts the de-
cision of the physicians with his char.

down to his desk, determined that he
will labor in his chosen field as long
as there is life and strength. This is
surely an example of heroism and is
worthy of the admiration of his breth

SEID SAM IN TOWN
chlnaman Appears in His Familiar

Considerable interest was created
up and down North street Monday
evening by the temperance In that
locality of Seid Sam, the Chinese laun-
dryman who was during his residence
here more generally known as John
Lee and to others as Diamond Ten
Last October John went on ram
page, believed at the time TO have
been the result of an over-indulgence
in drugs. and was arrested after ne
had threatened Deputy Sheriff John
Nash with a revolver. Lee was in
Jail for several days, but through the
intercession of some of his friends the
case against him, although serious,
was not pressed and the celestial was
released vita the understanding that
he was to leave town. The Chinaman
took the first train out of the village
and it was supposed that he was gone
for good
Lee called at the Jail this morning
and while about the court house build
ing was seen by States Attorney
Meagher and told that the case
against aim had never been mol pross-
ed and that his presence here would
not be permitted. The Chink either
did not or did not wish to appear TO
