GIVEN INVOLUNTARY DUCKIkG
Hensel, the Ball Player, Kicked BY
Gun; Falls in Water.

Mr.. Hensel, the baseball player of
North Mankato, got an involuntary
ducking at Swan lake Sunday, while he
was hunting ducks. He was standing
Ill small duck boat, shooting at II
Hook that was passing by, and turned
to get IL second shot, and the kick of
the gun caused him to lose his bal
ance and he fell out. The water was
nine feet deep, and he was some dis
lance from the shore. near blackberry
point, grapevine island. He managed
to grasp his boat, which was nearly
full of water, but could not get in, and
so he shouted Justify for help, and
half a dozen boats started at once to
his rescue. A st. Paul hunter was
first to arrive and with some difficulty
got him into his boat. then got Mr..
HensePs boat righted and the water
out. Mr.. Hensel then got into his own
boat and rOwed ashore. He lost his
gun in the lake, but his shell box, be-
ing wooden, and turning wrong side up,
floated. Had help not been at hand,
Mr.. HensePs position would have been
q dangerous one.

REUNION or METHoplsTs
Different Branches Will Hold Con-
ference in Baltimore.

Baltimore, Nd, October 27.-Novem-
Der 30 next has been definitely decided
upon as the date for the meeting in
this city of commissioners representing
The Methodist Episcopal church. the
Methodist Episcopal churh, South
and the Methodist Protestant church,
with the view of effectirg an organic
union or close federation of the three
bodies. Since the war. when the
Methodists split on the slavery ques-
ton, the northern and southern organ
ization3 of the denomination have been
entirely separate organizations. Gradu-
ally the breach has been healed, how
ever, and it is not improbable that
the November meeting will lay the
foundation for new church struc-
ture which will include nearly all of
the Alethodists of the country. The
Methodist Protestant church separated
from the parent body on differences
regarding church government, and this
quarrel is also in a fair way to be
settled satisfactorily to both parties.

HUGO PLhNT IN OPERATION
Sixteen Girls Are Now Employed, and
More Will Be Soon

The Hugo shirt and overall factory
has gotten partly moved to its new To-
cation in the Masonic building in this
city, and has started up in small
way. Eighteen overall machines have
been set up, and sixteen girls were
working today, making garments. Only
two operatives came from st. Peter, so
cured in Mankato, and it is necessary
to engage them slowly, so that they
can be taught. About two new ones Il
day are being hired. These are being
taught by Miss Rose Weber, who has
been forelady for the company for
eight years, and is very pleasant
and courteous lady, who understands
the work thoroughly. She is accepting
new girls as fast as she can instruct
them, and will keep on until thirty or
forty more are working.
The shirt making machines have not
yet been received from ST. Peter, but
as soou as they arrive they will be set
up. There are fifteen of these.
Besides Miss Weber and the two girls
that came from st. Peter, one family
and later probably more will move to
the city. William Wellner, the mana
ger, win move with his family to the
city at once.
The factory presents a busy scene
already, and when it gets to going
full force II will he ono of the imnor
tant industries of Mankato. There is
already talk of the Masons tearing
down the old frame storehouse in the
rear of their building and putting up a
permanent brick structure. This viii
give room for the factory to expand
as it is expected it will have to do in
side of a year.

this forenoon on the charge of using
abusive and obscene language in the
presence of two mattresses at the depot

Porte, the manager The two wait
resses were the only states witnesses,
and they testified that Hawkins used
certain expressions, but not those men
TONED in the complaint. The defendant
took the stand and testified thatNhe
had merely complained of the thinness
of the soup, when one of the girls had
thrown bowl of hot water in his face
and had then started after him with a
broom, but was restrained by the other.
Chris Carlson appeared as Mr.. Haw-
kins' attorney and moved to dismiss

had not been proved. The court took
the motion under advisement until two
o'clock this afternoon, when he said
that he would hear arguments.
Mr.. Hawkins claims that after the
warrant was gotten out by Mr.. Porte
the latter came into the superintend-
ent's office at the union depot and as
saulted him, striking him in the face
and twisting his arm, so that his col
lar bone was broken. He claims that
he was sitting down and had his over.
coat on at the time. He states that
he will swear ont complaint as soon
as the present case is disposed of

second degree.

SHARP THRUST At S. D.W0RkS
One Man in q Ceresco Audience Makes
Pointed Remark

An interesting political meeting was
held aat Ceresco Monday evening, and
for, a few minutes the fur flew. A
Mn Seobey was making a speech on
county option. Senator Works, and
Representatives Frank Kelly and John
Lennon were seated in the audience.
Mr.. ; Scobey criticised Works for his
stand against county option and told
the audience few things about the
Nankato man that they seemed to APP
preciato.
: When Mr.. Scobcy concluded his re-
marks, Mr.. Works addressed the crowd.
He made the statement that he had
never seen the inside OF n saloon in
Mankato."
You are placing pretty small limit
to your territory, amt you:" asked a
man in the audience.
. To this remark Works did not re
ply, but there were significant "winks''
here and there in the crowd
John Lennon is from Minneapolis.
He addressed the meeting. and said
that he was opposed to county option.
Before Mr.. Lennon had concluded, he
too. was subjected to some lively short
arm thrusts.

PROMOTER ON THE GROUND
Interests Self in Proposed Electric Line,
Blue Earth to Spirit Lake.

u. +. Doyle informs The FalrmOnt
Independent that Fl. W. Knight of Chi
cago, one of the most successful rail-
way promoters i'll the northwest, has
become connected with the project to
build an electric line from Blue Earth
to Spirit Lake, and will soon be here
to push the project.
The money for building these roads
is generally supplied by eastern CAPT
talists, but these will not invest before
the preliminary work is completed.
The survey, the gathering of stats
ties, and the securing of concessions
must be done by a preliminary local
organization, and satisfactory report
of the results of the work submitted
before eastern capitalists will take hold
OF project of this kind.
The talk OF building an electric line
from Iowa north to Fairmont is again
being revived.

TURN DOWN JOHNSON STATUE
State Board Rejects Memorial; Its
Reasons Well Founded.


st. Paul, October 26.-The John A.
johnson memorial commission met yes
terday behind closed doors in the st.
Paul auditorium and rejected the
sketches submitted by Andrew O'Con-
nor, the Partisan sculptor.
The opposition was almost unan-
nous, but there was heated discussion
whether Mr. OConnor should be drop
ped and another sculptor asked to SUBJ
NIT sketches, or should be given an
other opportunity. The latter prevail
ed and Mr.. O'Connor will be asked to
try again.
So much unfavorable criticism follow
ed the first exhibition of the sketches
and their publication that general OPP
position was expected. Criticism was
principally along two lines, the lack of
likeness and lack of harmony between
the statue and it's background
1t was also decided Yesterday that
the site will not be that selected by
Cass Gilbert, under the windows of the
executive offices of the capitol.
Members of the commission at the
meeting were c. w. Ames. C. D.

BAT NELSON TO FIGHT AGAIN
Durable Dane to Meet Anton Lagravc
On Broadway Tomorrow.

San Francisco, October 27.-Battling
Nelson, who has his eye on the light
weight championship title which he
lost to Adj. Wolgast, is trying to come
back by slow and easy stages. Anton
Lagrave, a local lightweight, has been
picked as his next opponent, and the
battle win be staged tomorrow by the
Broadway Athletic club. The men
will fight fifteen rounds at catch
weights.
The Durable Dane holds that Jim
Jeffries made the big mistake of his
coming back program by taking on
Jack Johnson, in his first battle since
his retirement. II Jeff had tried him
self out with some OF the lesser lights
before going up against the big black,
Nelson thinks the result might. have
been different.
According to reports received here,
there is some doubt whether Wolgast
will ever be able TO regain his old
form, owing to the injury he received
in his scrap with Tommy Mcfarland
If Wolgast should have to retire, Mel
son hopes to be in a position TO claim
the. title and defend it against all
corners. III possible however, he will
force Wolgast TO n return match
The Dane holds that he put up a
strong enough fight with WolGast to
entitlc him to another try at the title
He points out that he gave return
matches TO Cans, Britt, Corbett and
Herrera, and was always willing to
meet any man who looked good
enough to have a chance. In any
event, Nelson does not expect to meet
the champion before next spring. and
in the meantime he will probably take
on number of second raters in order
TO be in shape for the battle of his
life,

by the French to the victorious Ger
man army. Although as the capital
of the district of Lorraine of the i'm
perial territory of Alsace Lorraine
Metz is now a German city. there are
yet thousands OF Frenchmen here who
continue secretly loyal TO France and
who hope against hope that they may
live to see the tri-color float again

ton behind bars.
Metz Annexed to Germany.
Before 1870 Metz was capital of the
department of Mosellc and the main
bulwark of France on her northeast
frontier. In August 1870, General
Bazane, ut the head OF French army
OF 10000. was compelled to retire in
to Metz, and after a long investment
capitulated TO the Germans on October
p, 1870. BY the treaty of Frank
fort Metz was annexed to Germany as
part of Lorraine. During the forty
years which have passed since the Ger
mans entered Metz, the German au.
thorities have centered their efforts up.
on making Alsace- Lorraine a loyal and
eontcnted part of the empire. At
tcmpts have been made, but with only
partial success. to suppress the French
language and make the German tongue
universal. Eminent fairness has mark
ed Germany's treatment of the an
neNed territory, and today probably a
considerable majority of the people are
loyal subjects of Emperor William.
For many thousands in Alsace- Lor-
raine, however, tOday's anniversary
celebration serves to open fostering
wounds which will never heal.
