The building is of immense size
and it will take good many months
to complete it, but part of the

as possible to accommodate the stu

The concrete floors and stairways
built in the manner of those in

John Klein is the name of one
of the best deaf and dumb actors
that ever came to Mankato. Last
night Klein raised disturbance
about the streets, using profane Ian
guage, asking for money, and max
ing himself disagreeable to all on
the streets.
Officer Simmons attention was
called to the man and he locked
him up in the city Jail. But before
he was taken into custody, Klein
saw the officer coming and then be-
gan a series of grotesque motions
with fingers, making believe that he
was deaf and dumb. But the Off
Ger calmly led him to Jail.
This morning the man again play
ed 'possum and when an officer
tried to arouse him he acted as
though he could not hear or talk.
Later on, however, number of per-
sons who came to have a look at
the man, began talking about him,
and then Klein's ire was raised.
He could withstand it no longer and
began calling the men a number Of
vile names. He was later ordered
out of town.

st. Paul, September 22.-Rev.
Alexander c. Stevens, for six years
pastor of the First Methodist church,
Victoria street and Portland avenue,
has resigned as leader of one of
the wealthiest congregations in the
city to carry the gospel TO the mis-,
sion fields of South Dakota.
Bishop Robert Mcintyre has APP
pointed Dr. Stevens general super
intendent of missions in the Black
Hills conference Of South Dakota,
where he will have charge of thirty
two missions. The Black Hills work
is considered one of the most i'm
portant of the domestic mission
fields in the Methodist conference.
Call Came Some Time Ago.
Last January Mr.. Stevens an.
nounced his probable severance from
the First church here. At that time
he began 10 feel that his duty called
him into fields where the work is
more strenuous. He had built his
church from small beginnings until
il now has a property worth $780,
600 and membership roll OF more
than 500. He felt that duty called
him TO work in some community
not quite SO prosperous as the Hill
district Al the time he was per-
suaded to remain here, but now his
inclination for strenuous work has
called him into the mission field.
Salary About Half.
His salary in the new field will be
just trif1e more than One-half the
$4,000 that he now receives from
the First Methodist church, and he
will have hard work before him,
where energy will count in the build.
ing up of new churches.
DR.. Stevens work in the FIRST
Methodist church and the charm of
his personality make the members
regret his departure exceedingly. He
will live at Rapid City, S. d., but
his mission work will cover wide
territory in the Black Hills.
Is Needed Elsewhere.

glad TO get him for one of our most

j. @. Adams today approached
County Attorney. j. w. Schmitt
with rather startling and almost
unbelievable charge against one
John Anderson. Adams alleges
that Anderson took his wife away
from him. According to the story
told the county attorney by Adams,
the man Johnson entered his home
last night after Adams and his wife
had retired and he forthwith or
dered Mrs. Adams to arise and ac-
company him.
County attorney Schmitt asked
Adams why he did not resent the
intrusion, and the complainant re-
piled that Anderson was muscu-
lar fellow and he did not dare at
tack him.
County Attorney Schmitt caused
warrant to be issued for Ander-
sons arrest charging him with in
decent assault. He was brought be-
fore Judge Comstock this after
noon. He did not enter plea, but
asked for an examination, which
will be held Tuesday morning. Mean
while he will be guest of Sheriff
Osten, being unable to furnish a
bond.
County Attorney Schmitt will
make an investigation of the case.

there will be no football team this
year. While Mr.. Davis, president
Of the school, is not in any way
prejudiced against athletics in bust
ness colleges, he thinks that IL
will be for the benefit of the stu
dent not to have any team this year,
and instead of spending the time
and money in training for a few
games. wants the students to per-
feet themselves in the lines along
which they are studying. The case
of business college is entirely diff.
ferent from a classical school, such
as a high school or normal, since
in the business college, students
come and go continually, no definite
time being set when they may enter
college, and they generally leave
after six or eight months.

Just before the weStbOund pasSen-
ger train on the Chicago and North
western road pulled into the station
at noon today an accident occurred
at the Main street crossing that
might have been more serious, but
luck is always with some people.
George Potter, accompanied by a
young lady, was driving his auto
from North Mankato toward the
city, and had just passed over the
bridge when the arms of the gates
at the crossing were descending.
Mr.. Potter stopped his machine
while the arms were still in the
air. The train was coming down the
track, but was still nearly blocx
away, and if Mr.. Potter had not
stopped his auto and had driven
on, no trouble would have occurred.
However, he backed his machine
onto the bridge but in doing so did
not get clear of one of the arms,
which descended and struck the
wind shield with considerable force,
damaging it somewhat.
Both Mr.. Potter and the young
lady ducked their heads just in time
to avoid a serious blow, although
the former was hit on the back OF
the head, but not forcibly. The arm
of the gate was broken.
