Talk of Putting Him in Hands of
Someone for Safekeeping.
When Frank Dugan was arraigned
before Judge Comstock of the munic-
ipal court late Saturday afternoon
on the charge of grand larceny in
the second degree, in connection
with the theft of $12 from Mrs. Ella
Smith, he waived an examination
and was held to the next grand jury
in the sum of 5000, and was re-
manded to the custody of the sheriff
until he could furnish his BAIL He
has relatives who are able to bail
him out and who may do so. There
is some talk of arranging parole
in case a place can be found whei e
he can work and his employer will
guarantee his good conduct and the
return of the money stolen from
Mrs. Smith.
Dugan is not bad looking lad,
but appears to have gotten in with
company whose influence over him
has not been for the best.

ASKS FOR A REARGUMENT
Mankato Wants Rehearing for the
Typhoid Gases.

From thursdays Daily.
The city of Mankato, through its
city attorney and others interested
in a case recently decided by the
supreme court, have asked for rear
gument, says The st. Paul Dispatch.
The supreme court decided that the
city is responsible for injury to the
health of it's citizens through the
furnishing of impure water. The two
cases grew out of the typhoid cpl
demic two years ago.
The petition for reargument holds
that the court was in error in sew
eral places, and the attorneys ask
for a reargument upon the whole
question of whether cities are re-
sponsible for damages resulting from
the torts of officers.
The petition recites that in the
absence of statute holding the
cities responsible, the question is of
too much Importance to be decided
on the argument presented in the
original cases.

FOUGHT SHY OF OFFICE
Members of Ladies' Aid Would Not
Accept Honors.


Accept Honors.
From Saturdays Daily.
The annual meeting of the Ladies'
Aid society of the Methodist church
was held in the social rooms of the
church yesterday afternoon. 1t had
been intended to hold the election of
officers, but no one was found who
would accept an office, and the cleo
ton had to be postponed until the
next meeting. Mrs. F. B. Cowgirl,
who has been president the past year
and has been very efficient, refuses to
take the office the coming year.
The reports of the officers showed
that the society has raised nearly
500 the past year, and that it paid
all of it's outstanding debts, and $500
on the portion of the church debt
that it assumed, leaving only $500
more that it is responsible for, and
which it is expected to pay off the
coming year. During the past year
the society has also paid $3.50 on the
conference claimant fund, which was
special expense and will not occur
again.

August Tuberg, whose death was

FLOW is NOT SO HEAVY
Hubbard Well Shows Falling of in
Its Supply.

From Tuesdays Daily.
Yesterday afternoon City Engineer
Wilson measured the flow of the
Hubbard Milling company's deep
we'll and found that ii was $50 gal
Ions a minute. When this well was
first put down it flowed 40 gallons
a minute. 1t goes to depth of
915 feet. Now that the city has
sunk the Mccarthy we'll to a depth
of 1,075 feet, the city we'll is get
ting large per cent of the water
that formerly flowed out of the mill
well. The Hubbard Milling company
will consequently put it's well down
as deep as the city well. Neither
well will have the flow that it would
if the other was not so near. This
illustrates again the folly of putting
a lot of wells down close together,
to draw from the same supply. The
wells ought TO be separated as far
as possible.

THREATENED WITH BLINDNESS

From Tuesdays Daily.
The Free Press last evening con-

Justice Jaggard has been troubled
with his eyes for some time, and

PRIMITIVE SYSTEM USED, Q
CLARE INVESTIGATORS.
Examination Of Books Was Made
Recently at the Request Of Sew.
eral of the Managers, Including
George Atchison Of This City;
Some Objections Raised and A.
so Number of Recommendation

From Mondays Daily.
Acting on the request of several
members of the Minnesota state fair
board-George Atchison of this city
was one of them-GOvernor Eber.
hart requested an examination of
the books of the organization. The
st. Paul Dispatch says the investiga.
tors state that the records of the
board are rather primitive, and there
is much chance for improvement.
The committee does not find glaring
eros, nor especially lax system in
vogue, but it is not pleased with
what it found. The report to the
governor covers sixty typewriter
pages.
Some of the Recommendations.
Among other things, the board rec
ommends:
A change in the representation of
the State Agricultural society, which
elects the board of managers, 70
that only bona fide associations may
be represented.
A claim register wherein may be
recorded all accounts against the So
ciety.
Depositing of all funds with the
state treasurer.
Segregation of personal accounts
of employees from accounts of the
fair board.
Signing of minutes of all meetings
by both the secretary and chairman
The board found that the personal
account of c.. N. Cosgrove, secre.
tary, and Laura NJ Cox, an assist
ant, were mixed with state fair
funds during the fair last year and
that at one time Miss Cox had sew.
eral thousand dollars deposited to
her credit in Minneapolis bank
which belonged to the fair.
What Objection Is Raised.
The board takes exception to the
management making contract with
B. e. Gregory, superintendent of
amusements for the supplying of
fireworks when Gregory was being
paid a salary of approximately $500
a month
The board recommends that its
services be abolished and that here
after the public examiner do the
work, or else the board be continued
with pay. There is no provision for
paying the board as the law now
stands. This year it will be paid
from the governors contingent fund
The report says that the board of
audit believes the fair management
is trying to do right and is honest.
1t approves the abolition of passes
and finds that the fair board has
conducted business with very mod.
crate office expense.

Commercial Agency Gives Out Sta.

Favorable Than That Of 1909;
Is Far Better Than 1908; Mime
sofas Heeord Is 23e; Showing
in Genital States.

Commercial failures in the United
States during the year 1910, accord
ing to statistics compiled by r. G..
Dun & Co., numbered 1862, with
defaulted liabilities amounting to
SOL, 757, O97. In number of failures
the record for the past year shows
a decrease as compared with 1909,
when the number was 1924, and as
much larger decrease as compared
with the 1908 total of 1850. The
amount of liabilities, however, show
ed an increase as compared with
1909, when the total defaults ag-
gregated $154,6O3, 465, but a decrease
rs compared with 1908, the total
that year having been $222,315,6S4.
OF the 1852 defaults in 1910 there
were 260 for 100000 or more, the
aggregate liabilities of these being
$103,275,7SS, so that 81 per cent of
the defaulted liabilities of the year
were represented by only per cent
of the defaulting firms. The aver
age amount of each failure was $751;
945, comparing with $11,954 in 1909,
$14,169 in 1908 and S16,S34 in 1907.
Deducting the 26O large suspensions
the average liabilities of the remain
ing small failures was S9,749.
Analysing the Defaults.
Analysing last years defaults by
branches of business, the returns
show that in the manufacturing di-
vision there were 1920 failures. with
total liabilities of $S0,916,SS5, as
compared with 3,031 failures with
liabilities of $64,716,54S in 1909,
1927 for $96,S29,015 in 1908 and
2,913 for s1O6.640,444 in 1907, the
record therefore showing marked i'm
provement with respect to the
amount of liabilities as compared
with the two latter years. OF these
manufacturing defaults 1853 were for
100000 or more, aggregating $751;
$50, 1853 in liabilities. The average
per firm of the smaller manufacture
ing defaults was SS,769-the lowest
average reported TO rseventeen years.
The mercantile or trading defaults

compared with 1924 insolvencies
with liabilities of $69,O94,76S in 1909
and 1922 for $91,661,957 in 1908.
AS compared with both of the two
preceding years therefore, the record
for 1910 in this class may be regard
ed as fairly favorable. Of the trad
ing defaults IS were for 100000 or
more, aggregating $17,93O,662. The
average per firm of the small trad
ing defaults therefore was $6,437.

estimates by our physicians show
that there are about $50 cases of
tuberculosis in the county at pres
ent There were twenty-four deaths
from this disease last year and the
number has not fallen blow that for
