The surveyors have now been here

would be a sub grade crossing OF

where Il grade crossing would be a
menace to public safety. The surveyors
volunteer the information that Of the

TOOK A "HIKE" TO ST. PETER
Mankat0 Men Stroll to NeighbOring
Town; Was An Enjoyable Walk.
Eroc. c,<,rd,usc r,a;fx

MankatO Men Stroll 10 NeighDOr1nS
Town; Was An Enjoyable Walk.
From Saturdays Daily.
Old gentleman Weston is credited
with having performed wonderful
feat in pedestrianism, but when he learns
of the "hike" that was made by two Man
kato men last night, he will immedi-
ately cast himself into the Osler class.
Al Wysong and j. T.. Reynolds, he
of rOtundity and legs that are none
too long, quit Mankato's limits at six
o'clock and walked to ST. Peter. They
Travelled via the Omaha tracks, after
leaving the fair grounds.
Their progress was delayed some in
making an exit from the race track.
A barbed wire fence six feet high was
encountered and finally surmounted,
and the graceful manner in which Mr..
Reynolds made flying leap over the
sharp pronged enclosure was a prac-
tical demonstration that he is a clever
acrobat and would make hit as a
circus performer. Mr.. Wysong is not
so worse when il comes to climbing
obstacles.
1t was beautiful night for stroll,
and the walk was enjoyed hugely. The
"hikers" did not attempt to break any
speed records, it being their first al
tempt at long distance walking-that
is, the first since the days when Mr..
Reynolds was tramp" printer-and
those were in the long ago, and at
that he doesn't bear striking resem-
blance to one who is in the seer and
yellow. Mr. Wysong acted as pace
maker last evening, and at times he
"hit up gait" that would make an
auto go some.
When asked why he engaged in these
''hikes," Mr. Reynolds replied that he
had tried all known remedies for in
somnia and they had failed TO produce
the desired results. He hoped that long
walks would effect the cure that he
was looking for.
The return trip from ST. Peter to
Mankato was made by train. Messrs.
Wysong and Reynolds contemplate an
other walk to st. Peter in the near
future. Anyone wishing to join them
should apply for reservations.

OBSERVE CORPUS CHRISTI
Celebration at the St. Peter and
PauPs Church Yesterday

rom mondays OaIIy.
The celebration of Corpus Christi
took place yesterday at st. Peter and
Paul's Catholic church. 1t had been
planned to have the procession around
the block, but on account of the high
wind and cold air it was had in the
church, instead. The various societies
of the church were in the line, the
officers carrying the banners, and
nearly two hundred girls dressed in
white also participated. At the con-
clusion of this the benediction was
said, and the tie deum sung.
The procession was not had until
after solemn high mass, which was
conducted by Rev. George Deelman.
1t was his first solem high mass, and
he was assisted by Rev. Father
Hormes as deacon. and Rev Father
Van Aicken as subdeacon. A short
sermon was preached by Rev. Father
Huber.

PREACHERS SON on CLERGY
Says There Are More Serious Things
Than Prize Fight to Attack


New York, May 27.-BoltOn Hall. the
lawyer and author, and son of the
late Rev. DR.. John Hall, has sent an
open letter to the general assembly OF
the Presbyterian church, rcbukin. that
body for its attitude in regard to the
JelTries-Johnson fight. He says in
part:
'While in every big city young girls
are snatched away TO lives of slavery,
while all over the land little children
are worked to death in our factories.
while the monopolies put prices so high
as to increase these shrieking evils, is
it possible that the church can find
nothing more serious to attack than Il
prizeiight, already sufficiently well adj
vertised?
1T certainly makes any one indig
nant who has eyes TO see or even Il
heart to feel, that the great Presby-
terian church assembly spends its valu
able time and energy over a probably
harmless fight between two roughs.
II am the son of clergyman, my
self II member of the Presbyterian
church, and | speak often in the
churches and it makes me sick TO see
the pretty. ineffective time serving of
the church organizations. Whenever
there is real fight on against polti
cal or social evil the churches are sure
to be found dragging red herring
across the trail with crusade against
some such horror as Sunday saloons or
playing craps
Religion only makes itself contempt
ible by such bid for support as an
anti-prize fight protest.
