NOW TO GIVE FARM A NAME

Sentiment plays an important role
in the activities of man and usually
is connected with desire for better
ment. Naming a farm is purely senti-
ment, but the effect may be far reacn-
ing and may even go so far as to
enter the field of commercialism. A
farm without name has nothing to
distinguish it from its hundreds of
neighbors. But give it a name, like
woodland Place." if it contains a
clump of trees, or Meadow Brook"
if by chance the place is favored
with a stream of running water, and
the farm assumes dignity at once. One
inventive gentlemen calls his property
"Willida Farm" combination of
"Will." his NAME and '.Ida," his wife's.
Many such names can be constructed
and applied, many times with financial
profit, as in case products like butter,
eggs and garden vegetables are sold
in packages on which is placed the
name as guaranty of high quality
The calling of the former needs some
thing to give it dignity. No other
occupation is more worthy of respect
Naming the farm is a good start
Try it.

IMPROVES IN THE HOSPITAL

. G. S. Christensen writes this letter
to The Lake Crystal Union:
"Harry Christensen was taken to the
sanitarium at st. James last Wednes-
day evening. 1T was thought best by
his physician that Mr.. Christensen
should have the care that his case re-
quired, where there were better facili-
ties for handling serious injuries of
this kind than at his own home.
"All in all, Mr.. Christensen is i'm
proving, but it will take some time
before he will be able to be about.
"Our people are very much interest

complete recovery will soon be effect

comfort and cheer, and especially the
Brother Elks for their unselfish and
brotherly attention, and the kind and
sympathetic neighbors who have so
freely assisted us all in this, our mis-
fortune. 1t has all been of so much

RAIN CUT THE DRILL SHORT

Owing to the rain, the troop of
cavalry that has been camping at the
fair grounds since Saturday morning
did not get away this morning. but
will do so tomorrow morning, if the
weather permits.
Yesterday afternoon large. crowd
assembled at the fair grounds to wit
ness the drill of the troop. The race
track was lined with vehicles, and from
one to two thousand people We're on
the grounds. Before the drill began
rain drops had begun to fall, and be-
fore the troop had had time to make
many evolutions heavy shower began
to fall, which put an end to the drill
and there was hasty scampering for
cover or home by the crowd.
The drill, so far as it went, was a
very pretty sight. Lieutenant Richter
put his men through a number of evo.
buttons, the orders being repeated by
the bugler No doubt. had the drill
not been brought to SO sudden a termi
nation, the cavalrymen would have
been handsomely applauded for theil
performance, which was highly credit

From Tuesdays Daily.
The suit of Mrs. Bertha G.. Jordan
to set aside 5000 Judgment against
her divorced husband, A. III. Jordan
held by his father, Albertus Jordan,
was tried before Judge Pfau this after
noon at two o'clock Mrs. Jordan's
object in getting this Judgment set
aside is to be able to collect 5000 to
$500 support money for the children,
which is due and unpaid by A. H. Jor-
dan. The latter claims that he is un-
able to meet the payments, but he has
house and lot in Amboy, and it is
this property that is the real object
of the proceeding, If the Albertus Jor-
dan judgment can be set aside, Mrs.
Jordan thinks that she can secure her
money out of the Amboy property, but
it is said that there are other judg-
ments against A. II. Jordan that would
amount to about 5000, which is said
to be about all that the property is
worth. .
A. H. Jordan is not fighting the
present proceeding, but his father is

FEARED He WOULD BE KILLED
From Tuesdays Daily.

From Tuesdays Daily
G.. Z. Ferris of Sanborn, Iowa, ar
rived in the city last evening and reg
istered at the Saulpaugh. He acted
strangely and seemed to have the i'm
preston that three men were trying
to kill him. To allay his fears, the
police were sent for. He told them
that he was acquainted with Sheriff
Donahue. but knew no one else in the
city. so he was taken to the Jail. Sher.
if Donahue took him back to the po-
lice station and he was cared for there
until this morning. when he wanted to
be taken back to the Jail.
When Ferris reached the Jail he ask
ed to be locked up, as he feared that he
would be killed if he was not. Sheriff
Donahue, to humor him, locked him ir
cell, and he fell asleep and slept sew
eral hours. 1t is hoped that he viii
be better when he awakes. He has
sent for his father-in-law, who lives al
Sanborn, and this gentleman is eX
pected to arrive this evening
Sheriff Donahue is of the opinion
that Ferris has been drinking heavily
and that his mind has become tenn
porarily disordered He says that Fer
ris is an excellent young fellow ant
has been hotel clerk all of his life
and came to Mankato from Minneapo
lis, where he worked last.

PAVEMENT is Undermined

The city officials have discovered
what is believed to be an undermining
of the new Second street pavement ~
front of the postoffice for distance OF
possibly fifty feet. The pavement
sounds hollow, and to be on the safe
side it has been roped off.
. City Engineer Wilson states that the
indications are that the water from
the broken service pipe at the post
office has been running for some little
time without coming to the surface, the
Second street sewer taking off the wa
ter and also quantity of dirt. He
will tear up the pavement at several
points to make observations of the ex-
tent of the damage, if there has been
any done. 1t may be that a section
of the pavement will have to be torn
UP and the street filled in again, and
the pavement relaid. This will be
known after the Investigations have
been made.

CROWD DAMAGED A CHURCH

In spite of the fact that two police
men were detailed to preserve order
in the street Wednesday evening" dur
ing the Erwin Hubbard wedding, a good
deal of damage was done to the Epis-
eopal church property by thoughtless
or lawless persons. Not satisfied with
crowding up to the canopy, many in
the big throng of curiosity seekers
that was assembled climbed to the
church and looked through at the we'd
ding ceremony, and by their talk and
laughter disturbed the solemn pro-
cecdings and made it almost impos-
sible for many in the edifice to hear
the words of the rector
In their efforts to climb up to the
windows, some in the crowd tore down
the vines which have for years orna-
mented the north wall of the church.
Others tore up the side steps of the
church and carried them to window
in order to climb up. Decorations that
were resting on the window stills in
front of the open windows were knocked
| off
Such proceedings are certainly dis
graceful, and if there were not enough
policemen present to have prevented
it, more ought to have been sum-
moned. A few arrests would have
taught better manners to such as were
engaged in this scandelous conduct.

FAVORS A CONCRETE BRIDGE
From Tuesdays Daily.

From Tuesdays Daily.
County Surveyor Brooks is anxious
to have a concrete arch bridge erected
at Red Jacket, as he considers the con
ditions there ideal for the location of
such a bridge. He has gotten track
of construction company which he
believes will put in reasonable bid
for doing the work, and he thinks that
if such a bridge is erected there the
county will be so pleased with it as
to abandon the construction of steel
bridges and build nothing but concrete
hereafter. Concrete bridges require lit
tie if any repairs and get stronger as
the years go by, whereas steel bridges
require repairing and replanking and
various other repairs continuously and
grow weaker with age.
1t is up to the county board at its
next meeting to secure bids for con-
crete bridge as well as for steel
bridge, and it would seem the part OF
wisdom to do so.

The brick work on the new Omaha

road is still hauling in gravel from
Pipestone, and piling it up, raising
one of its tracks greatly above grade.
This gravel will later be hauled down
to grade in filling elsewhere.
The city is filling up and widening
the driveway on Pike street. Clay is be-

driveway could be made if gravel
would be put on top of the clay. Elk

HUGO SHIRT PLANT TO
COME HERE OCT. IST
From Saturdays Daily.

From Saturdays Daily.
Mankato is to secure a new factory
employing number of people, with
out having to offer bonus of any kind
to secure it. The Hugo Shirt factory
of st. Peter has concluded to locate in
Mankato for a year at least, and if no
difficulty is experienced in getting help
it will remain here permanently.
Lease for One Year.
Senator Johnson, Messrs. Wellner
and Anderson and a couple of more st.
Peter men who are interested in the
factory came to the city last night,
and two of them attended the meeting
of the Masonic lodge and arranged
for a lease of the first floor of the
Masonic building, corner of Second and
Hickory street. Owing to the dis
couraging statements that have been
made by some people about the ability
of the company to obtain sufficient
help in Mankato, it was decided to take
lease for one year, with the privi-
lege of three. In case it is found that
help cannot be secured, the factory
will be moved to some other point at
the end of the first year.
What the Concern Makes.
The factory manufactures, common
shirts and overalls, and finds a steady
market. In fact, SO great has the
demand for the company's product been
of late that it has had to turn down
numerous orders, because of it's in
ability to obtain sufficient help at St
Peter. The pay of the girl operatives
is said to De from $50 to $50 month
according to the amount of work
turned out, the remuneration given
employees being by the piece. While
most of the employees are young WON
en-, there are at present about ten
adults employed, including cutters
foremen, etc. The girls operate sewing
machines, which is nice. clean work
The machines are run by electricity
Will Move Here October I.
The lease of the Masonic building
takes effect October l., and the factory
will be moved to Mankato at that
time. Several members of the company
came to Mankato today to make fur
Their arrangements. The Masonic lodge
has placed the matter in charge of 9
committee, and is to make certain i'm
provements and alterations on the first
floor, including the installing of an
other toilet, and the removal of The
temporary partitions. Work on this
will be begun at once.
The company hopes to be employing
sixty people. or twice the number i
now employees. Several similar factories
in Iowa employ several hundred OPP
eratives each, and doubtless the Hugo
people will be able to branch out anC
increase its business.
Much Better Distributing Point.
! In coming to Mankato the compan,
will be located at much better dis
tributing point. as well as being in f;
larger center of population.
1t is believed that several familie
will move to Mankato from ST. Petel
at once, as a result of the removal o
the factory.
This will be the first move towarC

POLICE HELD NEGRO SUSPECT
From Saturdays Daily,
11l

From Saturdays Daily,
A colored man who was trying to
dispose of telescope was arrested
this morning on the charge of vag-
rancy, so that he could be held until il
could be learned how he came by the
telescopes. 1t appears that he had
sold one in the city. A couple OF
weeks or so ago Oscar Tanscr's new
and second hand store was robbed anC
among the goods stolen were severa
telescopes. George Otto, who has q
shop in Mr. Tanzer's store, was shown
the one found on the negro, and iden
tilted it by private mark as one OF
those that was stolen from the store
The negro told the police that his
uncle. who runs a saloon in ST. Paul
he said, had given him the telescopes
There is nothing yet to connect the
negro directly with the robbery
When arraigned on the vagrancy
charge he pleaded not guilty, and his
trial was set for this afternoon.
