BOAST LED TO ARREST
HARLEY TACKLES TALKED TOO
MUCH FOR OWN GOOD.
1t Is Claimed That He Defrauded Hub
bard Milling Company to Extent of
Several Hundred Dollars.

Harley Tackles, a former resident OF
Amboy, and who was employed by the
Hubbard Milling company for about
three months last fall as assistant
weighmaster, is under arrest at Ore
gon City, Oregon, on a bench war
rant, it is understood, charging him
with forgery in the second degree. It
is reported that the recent grand jury
returned an indictmnt against him.
Sheriff Donahue learned of the mans
whereabouts and telegraphed to the
officials at Oregon City, asking that
Tackles be arrested and held. The ar
rest was made yesterday morning, ac-
cording to a telegram received by the
sheriff. Sheriff Donahue left today for
Oregon City to bring back the pris-
oner.

chosen for himself as a private citizen.

day as a contributing editor of the
Outlook.
The dispatch boat Dolopbin, on which
Mr.. Roosevelt left Oyster Bay late
Sunday night with secretary of the
Navy Meyer as his host, brought him
into New York early Monday morning.
He went directly to his office and i'm
mediately plunged into the mountain Of
correspondence that has been accumu-
lating for him.
Editor Roosevelt's business ~headquar-

has been especially engaged for him.
At the entrance door appears the

The rooms themselves, although bust

with a magnificence unusual for an Of

But 1t Has Yet to Reach This City

Mankato has yet to receive her ap-
portionment of neat pins bearing this

Already 5000 people, located in
all parts of the country have agreed

Seattle, the society is said to be grow

A Cincinnati woman, chairman by
the way of the Worlds Health or
g~anization, discovered that kissing is
not nearly so enjoyable a recreation
as one would suppose. She says
that the "habit"-she calls it a habit

furthermore that no matter who says
SO, kissing spreads disease germs,
and is generally unhealthy. She
calls it a filthy practice" She dis
agrees with the New York doctor
who says that "short hygenic kiss

kissing in any form is bad"
Whether it be all right to kiss has
troubled people all over the country
for some time-tlat is, of course
those who stop to think.
Mrs. L, Rechtin is the woman who
is giving her time and thought to
the movement. She has given over
her Cincinnati home to the work.
A force of clerks is employed who
answer correspondence and. send out
the Kiss Not" pins. She says it
will be a hard job to impress lovers
that they should not kiss, but she
says harder things have been accom-
plished. She says that an arm about
the waist is sufficient as a means of
showing ones endearment. If a kiss
be deemed absolutely necessary and
after careful thought it be decided on,
a short smack on the cheek may be
taken or given. Even this is bad, she

PLANS LARGE DEPOT
OMAHA COMPANY HAS MANKATO
CONTRACTORS IN VIEW.
!. B. Nielsen Co. Requested to Give
Information as to the Kind of Ma
terial That Is to Be Used; What
the Big Structure Will Look Like:
to Be Located in the Triangle:
An Island Platform.

Bids were opened at the st. Paul
offices OF the Omaha road yesterday
for the erection of the new Omaha
freight depot. j.. B. Nielsen & Co. were
the only Mankato contractors asked to
bid OH the job, but there were several
W city bidders. Since the bids were
opened, inquiries made by the chief en-
gineer of j.. B. Nielsen & Co., in regard
to material proposed to be used in the
building Indicate that they may have
been the lowest bidders.
Will Be a Large Structure.
The depot, which is to be located
in the triangle at the foot of jackson
street, is to be forty feet wide by
POS feet long, with fourteen foot posts,
and twelve inch brick walls. The inside
walk is to be of frame. The office
will be located at the Jackson street
end of the building and will be nicely
decorated on the inside. The rest of
the building will be used as d ware
house. Stone trimmings will be used,
and the cornice will project six feet, so
the building will have a neat appear
ance from the outside. The building
will rest on concrete piles.
An Island Platform.
There is to be a platform all along
one side of the building, ten feet wide
and $40 feet long, and there will also
be what is called an island platform,
north of tha huildinU ond foJ
from it by tracks, and this will be
twelve feet wide and 400 feet long.
The road has not yet filled the hole
in the triangle where the building is
to be located, nor have local officials
of the road heard. of any move to do
50. As long as concrete piers are to
be put down, the filling will probably
not be done until after this work has
been completed.

Speech of S. B. Wilson Nominating Governor
A. O. Eberhart In the G.. 0. P. Meeting

S. b. Wilson's speech nominating
Governor Eberhart was as follows:
Mi. Chairman and gentlemen of
the convention: The republican
party is a great party. We have
a great many great men in it in
Minnesota, and for the last six
years we have not been able to
tremendously discriminate in our
selection of a STANDARD bearer" so
that our party would appear just
the same in the vision of the
friends of the defeated aspirants as
it did before the convention. The
results were disastrous and now,
to our shame and humiliation, this
great republican state is referred
to by the national press as a
doubtful state"
We ARE today in a different at
mosphere than we have been in for
more than six years. The politi-
cal sky is now of wonderful clear
ness. We are today acting under
the olive branch of peace. We have
assembled here on this suspicious
occasion in harmonious sympathy
with courage and confidence in our
hearts and i'll our cause, and with
a determination i'll our minds that
will successfully carry us to vic
tory upon Minnesota rep%ublicanism
as declared by us.
We have been the cause of our
own defeats. We have been the
victims of our own folly. This ION
vention is open to all qualified
delegates who have a right to be
here, and when the majority
speaks let no one complain. When

his fellow man, III who has a kind
and sympathetic heart, rugged con
stitution, liberal in his views. but
firm in his conscientious conviction
to public and private duty.
1t appears that many names of
Minnesota's most distinguished and
honored sons to be withheld from
presentation on this floor, not be
cause they were not eminently fit
ted and worthy of nomination, but
because they and their hosts of
ardent friends realize that condi-
tions pointed, as with the hand of
fate, to but one man as the logical
candidate.
He was born of humble parent
age, and is a living example of
personal and meritorious advance
ment. His record is an open book
with which we are all familiar. By
virtue of his own attainments he
is a polished scholar, and a talent
ed statesman. His experience as a
member of our state senate and
later as its presiding officer, COM
bined with his academic and judi
cial knowledge, peculiarly qualify
him for this honored position.
We sent him to our state senate
with no opposition and while there
he fostered important laws, chief
among which are the highway COM
mission act, the law prohibiting
the giving and receiving of trans
portation rebates, and also sub
jecting railroads to the absolute
control of the railroad and ware
house commission.
