and Green came to visit his sweet
heart without warning. He looked
through the window of her home and
saw six foot white man with his
arm about her while she was at work
at IA sewing machine. He went in, but
she refused to recognize him, and
claimed she did not know him. He
waited until her white lover had gone.
and then upbraided her about her con

forced her to return such of his money

defeated the fast Scimitars of Mime
apolis by score of to 3. The
home team gathered seven hits off
Parkhill while the Scmitars secured

listless one apart from some fast field
ing stunts pulled off by the Rock

by them.
Next Saturday the Rock Springs
team will travel to Mankato to take
on Sully's fast team of that city for
two games, Saturday and Sunday. At

famous Lamb opposing him. On Sun
day Anderson will pitch for the Rock
Springs while the mighty McCleary will
toss them over for Sully's bunch. Kin

work for Mankato, with Mertz, the
Shakopee kid, playing the same posi-
ton for the Rock Spring team. Both
teams haze met most of the fastest

and the public sure will be treated to
two good exhibitions of the game

WILD GIRL WAS A FAKE
STRONG WIND TORE THE TUSKS
FROM "HER" UGLY FACE.
"She" Proved TO Be a Negro Boy Who
Had Lost Arm and Leg in
Railroad Wreck.

The st. Cloud Times publishes this
story: At the carnival which did st.
Cloud the favor to pull out of town
late Saturday night. d non-descript
creature was on exhibition which was
labeled wild Girl" and which was
gazed and stared at by many who
shuddered and hid behind strong mas
culine backs every time the creature
happened to roll her eyes in their di-
rection. just what kind these wild
people" are is illustrated by an oc-
currence at Miller. :. ID. 4 wild wom-
an who travelled with circus that
showed there. was cried by the barker
as having been captured in the Philip
pine iungles. The Miller Sun say:
During the day many had gazed
upon the creature, i'll agonizing dis
tortlons, fits, etc, and shed tears at
the awful spectacle, while women de-
clared that the humane society ought
to prevent such terrible agony at the
sideshows for u cents. Had that wind
not blown from off the wild creature 5
head, so cleverly fitted with false hair,
rings III ears and nose and great
tusks sticking from the sides of the
mouth and body from which one hand
had been taken from the arm and one
foot from the leg, the fake might have
gone on the next day. After the
storm the wild woman went to the
home of Mr.. Bowden and was found
to be negro who had been in a
railroad wreck and lost hand and a
foot. He smoked cigarette with the
boys and had entirely recovered from
his frightful business sufferings."
And for such stuff people pay their
hard earned money! 1t would seem
reasonable that wild people" should
have long and tangled hair, but why
in all the world they should have long
tlsks instead of teeth is something
that passes the understanding of We
reporter. Do civilized people have their
teeth trimmed every so often as they
do their hair.

LOOKING FOR TROUBLE.
KING GEORGE is MAKING HIM

London, July 20.-During the reign

He Dslikes Americans.
King George has shown on several
occasions that he dislikes Americans,
and Queen Mary is openly and almost
rabidly antagonistic to the United
States and all that savors of Ameri-
canism. When Theodore Roosevelt, as

REPORT OLIVE CROP SHORT
Reduction of Little Over Ninety
Per Cent Is the Claim.
Especial to The Free Press.1

Seville, Spain, July 20.-This years
olive crop in Spain will be very short,
leading growers saying that the out
turn of the growing crop will not be
over 1000 hogsheads which will be a
reduction of a little over ninety per
cent. of the quantity harvested and
cured last year. From this it is east
ly descernible that materially higher
prices will prevail for, the ensuing
twelve to sixteen months, and as a
result curers are averse to booking any
considerable quantity at the present
time. In fact, some of them refuse
positively to quote prices, preferring
to hold their goods in order to get full
benefit of the advanced prices later on.

MAKING REPAIRS ON BRIDGE
Other Things That Are Badly Out of
Gear, Say Commissioners.

The work of making repairs on the
round pier of the Minnesota river
bridge began today. a Golfer dam will
be put down, and II good deal of the
sand and water pumped up with, Il
motor pump, that is to be secured for
the purpose Then the concrete work
will be laid.
In speaking of the condition of the
bridge yesterday, Commissioner Ban
gerter remarked that the commission
had found the bridge badly in need of
repairs, the electric fire alarm system
is practically useless, the vegetation at
Sibley park dying, and about every
thing else that the city owns going to
ruin or in need of immediate repairs
The prospect was almost discouraging
when it was seen how much there is
to be done to put everything in first
class order.

NEED OF MOTOR CAR SERVICE
Chicago Great Western Road Could
Handle Large Lake Business.

Local officials of the Great Western
road do not place much reliance upon
the published report that the road is
to substitute motor car for the noon
and afternoon passenger trains. To an
outsider, it would seem as though the
road could supplement its present ser
vice with a motor car very advantage
ously. For instance, if such car was
to leave Mankato about supper time,
and then return about breakfast time
in the morning it would work up Il
large business not now handled. In
that event, numerous Mankato people
would have cottages at the lakes, and
would be regular patrons of the car,
and the running time would be such
that it would invite much larger
traffic among the people of the vii
lagos, who could come to the city in
the morning to trade.

ing contrasts in expenditure are shown
for the several classes.

Data for 522 families the heads of
which were clearly wage earners and
for 2lS families of salaried persons
(otficials and teachers) show that as
compared with wage earners' families
the average of all expenditures for
families of salaried persons was "a
per cent more, for food % per cent
more. for clothing more than double,
for rent nearly double. for heating and
lighting about fifty per cent more. and
for miscellaneous purposes nearly three
times as much.
In regard to the distribution of ex-
penditures in these two classes the most
conspcous difference was that - per
cent of the wage earners' expenditures
was for foods, as against 36.7 per cent
by salared persons for this purpose.
The difference in the standard of
living of wage-earners and salared
persons of the same earning capacity
is shown III the fact that salaried per-
sons are able to reside in and select
small cities or suburbs as places of
residence, and they have smaller fam
lilies and devote "a larger proportion OF
their expenditures to intellectual and
social purposes than wage-earners.
