GREAT SUCCESS.
Miss GOggin Meets and Interests Man
katO Women.

Miss GOggin, the lecturer anc il
illustrator at the free baking school
in Knights of Columbus hall, certainly
did take the women of Mankato by
surprise. Her success was instantan-
eOus, Judging by the large number of
women present. There is no mistake
about Miss Goggin being an expert at
her work, she is simply wonderful. The
baking school is sure to be very popu-
lar with the housewives of Mankato
as there is so much that is practical
and useful in every day baking taught
by the expert. Everything she does in
her work is explained in an under
standable way. As each recipe is, put
together, the consistency of the dough
as it should be, is shown, and YOU are
told how to control the temperature
OF your oven, to secure results that
are unfalling and satisfactory. 1t is
noted i'm the work of the expert that
she has no failures i'm baking She
serves what she bakes to the women
present as it comes from the oven.
The X. C. Baking Powder used by Miss
GOggin in her work certainly gives as
founding results, if the food baked
with it is any criterion to go by.
Women vino have tried this modern.
never failing powder, are generous in
their praise of it. and are advising
their neighbors and those interested
in cookery to order twenty five cent
can from their grocer, and insist on
him sending it to them at once. The
Cooks Book which goes free to the
users of X. G.. for the return of the
certificate found in each twenty fire

POLICE PUT STOP TO NOISES
Arrest Boys Who Explode Firecrackers
Before the Fourth.

Arrest Boys Who Explode Flrecrackers
Before the Fourth.
Chief Pond and Officer Bienaph last
evening arrested two boys who were
engaged in exploding torpedoes on the
streets. making terrific noise The
boys were brought before Judge Com
stock this morning and he informed
them that their act was in violation
of the state law as well as of the
local ordinance, and he gave them Il
chance to reform, and asked them to
tell other boys that they are not to
explode fireworks in the city until the
Fourth of July and not to explode
giant crackers or torpedOes even on
that day. He allowed them to 90 ON
probation to report to Chief Pond
Saturday evening.
Some dealers in fireworks have been
notified that they are not to sell giant
crackers or other explosives that violate
the state law, otherwise prosecutions
will have to follow.
The action of the police will be
upheld by all good citizens. There is
no sense in allowing the peace and
quiet of the city to be disturbed for
several weeks before the Fourth by the
firing of explosives. The city ordinance
prohibits this, and it is an ordinance
that ought to be strictly enforced The
state law against giant crackers and
other high explosives is also very
wise one and should be enforced with
equal strictness.

tion of personal property. 1t is charged
that on May 25 they chased a duck
around the lake, in boat, beating ii
with an oar, tortnring it, and making
the poor, dumb thing suffer, while they
got pleasure out of its agony The
duck belonged to William Oehler, ami
was so badly injured that it had to
be killed to put it ont of its misery.
If those who torture animals and birds
could be made to suffer the same kind
of treatment, the punishment would
fit the crime but the laws are more
humane than the violators of it.

PACKERS AGREE
TO RATE RAISE
willing TO Pay an Increase on
Eastbound Shipments.

Chicago, June .2.-At conference
In New York between representatives
of the Eastern railroads and the big
packing firms, the packers agreed to
rates on their products eastbound
from Chicago, averaging IL per cent.
or an aggregate estimated at over ST..
100000.
AS the advance on dressed meats
figures out only one-twentieth of a
cent pound. the packers say they
have no intention of passing the in
crease on to the consumer in the shape
OF an increase in prices.
The amount of the increase in rates
represents compromise between the
two interests and is the direct result
OF the missionary work" of George
W. Perkins of j. p. Morgan & Co. in
Chicago last week and in New York
since that time, in the endeavor to
conciliate the big shippers and the
railroads in the freight rate contro.
versy. A strong effort is to be made
by the railroads to reach a similar
compromise with the dry goods ship
pers and wholesale grocers, but none
of the latter have made any agree
ment.
Statement Issued.
Announcement of the agreement on
the part of the packers was made in
Chicago through statement issued
by Armour & Co. following long dis
lance telephone message from Mr..
Perkins. as follows:
"'rhe officials of Armour & Co., hav-
Ing fully considered the question of
advancing freight rates applicable to
their business. have become convinced
that the increases suggested, amount
ed to about II per cent on the aver
age, are justified by present condi.
lions. and therefore will make no op-
position. 1t is believed that there
will he ITO further opposition on the
part of any one interested"
The advances apply only to the
rates eastbound from Chicago The
dressed meat rate from Chicago to
New York is increased from As to so
cents hundred pounds, provisions
and packing house products from 80
to 33, cattle from % to 81, and hogs
and sheep from 80 to 33 AS the meat
and live stock rates between Chicago
and the Missouri river and st. Paul
were advanced cents a hundred
pounds in May by the Western roads.
the increased rates will affect the en-
tire territory between the seaboard
and the Missouri river except over
the Alton and Wabash, which refused
to advance the Western rates.

New Ulm Review: Left for parts

1t is bad enough when you are sudden
ly called away without being aDle to
enjoy hearty shake with your friends
but it is still worse for the latter to

they have string without being able
to pull the same This is exactly what
happened to the few friends and ac-

recently employed by the New Ulm
Mailing and Brewing company. Mr..
Drummer apparently left early Sunday
morning leaving no words of his future
whereabouts and has up to this writing
forgotten to return. No doubt he over
slept that morning and in the hurry to
catch the train could not bid adieu to
his landlord who is anxious to have a

pany have already made arrangements
to secure a brewmaster from st. Paul
who is expected to arrive in few

JOlTED ON ROULETTE WHEEL
Claim Made by John L. Shin1ler; Sues
Parker Company.

John l.. Shindler has started an ac-
ton in the district court against the
Parker Carnival company, to recover
$1,000 damages for injuries alleged to
have been sustained by being pushed
upon the human roulette wheel, while
the show was exhibiting i'm Mankato
last week The injury is alleged to
have been sustained Saturday. The
plaintiff states in the complaint that
he was viewing the wheel, when the
crowd pushed him forward upon the
rapidly revolving wheel, which by cent
rifngal force, throws the people upon
it out to its edges and upon a cercular
stationary platform surrounding the
wheel. There were no guards or rail
ing around the wheel or device to keep
the spectators from being thrown upon
the rotating wheel, he says.
The attorneys for the plaintiff are !:

Birthplace of a Great Musician.

Seven cities contend for the honor
of being the birthplace of Homer, and
several towns in Italy claim the right
from his association with them of
concentrating Guido Monico. or
Guido d'AreZZo, as he is more COM
monty known. The little town of
ITALIA, near Carentino, has set up a
monument to mark his birthplace, but
it is doubtful. if the claim can be sub
Stimulated against the claim of Arezzo.
1t is generally conceded that Guido
was a Benedictine monk, and that he
was a great writer on music of the
eleventh century. The claim is set
up that he was born near Paris, and
migrated to Arezzo. He wrote the
'Micrologus." but Grove discards many
of the pretensions which have been
formulated concerning Guido's achieve
ments. 1t appears, says Grove, that
Guido invented the principle upon
which the construction of the stave is
based and the F and c clefs, but
that he did not invent the complete
four lined stanza itself.

FATAL FLAW IN HIS THEORY
Or. GuIick's Arguments for Matrimo-
NAL Felicity Overturned by APP
plication of Logic.

When DR.. Luther II. Gulick, of GER
tain honorable connection with the
Russell Sage foundation. allows him
self to speculate fondly on the pos
sible domestic felicities which might
result from the adoption of a mascu-
line style of dress buttoning up the
back instead of the front, he forgets
an important particular. That relates
to the time when it required more
than the services of what is known
now to wives as a kind hooker to
get the head Of the family into his
togs-when a couple of squires, an
armorer, a tinsmith and a blacksmith
or two were needed to equip the bust
ness man for his days work, with the
fair wife on the side to get the helmet
on straight and to strap the loved
ones sword about his manly waist.
DR.. Gulick will be sensible of his
confusion when he recalls that
this cooperation did not make for the
perfect domestic tranquility so much
to be desired in perfectly respectable
communities. He will admit he was
in error in his theory hat if the hus-
band were as dependent on the wife
in the matter of hooks as the wife is
dependent on him-or maid or neigh
bor-there would be fewer divorces.

MARKET LETTER..
Letter From our Regular Correspond.
ent at Kansas City.

Kansas City Stock Yards, May ,,
1910. The cattle market underwent
a gradual softening last week, and
closing prices were off 20 t. 50
cents ON most all kinds, with heifers
showing even a greater decline some
times. Feeders did not lose quite as
much, as there is a good demand in
the country for young cattle to feed,
and bulls also held up almost steady.
Calves f%luctuated a good deal, but
closed in a rut, with all their adj
vance wiped out The run today is
10000 head. quite an increase over a
week aso. and with other market sup
plies in proportion, the natural re-
suits is lower prices today, steers 3

to a shade lower. As usual on Mon
day, stoekers and feeders are in
good demand and prices are firm to-
day. The top on heavy steers today
Is 500, in the native division. and
a drove of 1,tG0 pound steers in the
quarantine division also brought
$40, Oklahoma corn fed steers.
Medium class steers bring $3.50 to
$7.65, and cake fed cattle from the
south sell at $500 to $685. mostly
and some meal fed steers today at
$7.25.
Hog receipts we're at minimum fig.
ures all of last week and although
prices advanced 10 cents, it was a
devoid Of the buying impulse for ten
days, as they claim demand for
fresh meats is slack, and thct they dc
not need the hogs. The run today is
1000 head, market 10 to 20 lower
heavy hogs at 1920 TO $685.. medi
UNI weights 500 to 1925. and light
hogs up to 1920. The extraordinar,

Ancient Superstition.

Parat, an ap~othecary of Paris, ieal-
Gus of his wife. compelled her under
fear of death to run needles through a
wax image of the suspected lover.
Thus was there a continuance of an
old practice known to Sicilians in the
days of Theocritus. Thus are we
reminded of Rossetti's Sister Helen"
and a tragic scene in The Return of
the Native" We read not long ago
that this spell of the wax image was
still practised in counties of England.
Was it ever praeticed in New Eng
land? Are such dolls now made in
this country. and melted so that with
it a rival or an enemy may waste
away?
