Tor all this, scores of messes of beans

THE BOY AND THE STATE FAIR.

The BOY AND THE STATE FAIR.
If the boy has shown evidence of a
lack of interest In the farm operations
and there is reason to believe that the
farm work is sort Of palling ON him
it would be pretty good idea to take
a couple Of days of and go with him
to the big state fair. After he has
seen the blue ribbon horses, cattle,
hogs and sheep, the poultry, the latest
machinery, products of the field in the
shape of flower and fruit and grain
the chances are that the agricultural
profession will advance several
notches in his esteem. However, to
be most effective such visit should
be followed up by an attempt on the
part of this boys father to put some
of the better methods into practice on
the home farm and possibly to under
take the raising of some kind of pure
bred stock, giving the boy an interest
in the enterprise. Such a course as
the above we believe would make over
literally hundreds Of farm boys who
find country life prosy and uninterest-
ing and who are already beginning to
gaze with longing eyes toward the
cities with their brilliant lights. va
riety and attractiveness.

will have the work done when in

will place them upon the white list,

FIGHT is TO BE CARRIED INTO
THE DISTRICT COURT.

Hail and Mrs Theresa Renner were

appointed administrator of the es.
tate, and the eight nephews and
nieces who claim to be the heirs,

ceased.
What Complaint Alleges.
The complaint alleges that the
father of the two plaintiffs, Joseph
Hampl, was drowned in Cottonwood
county in 1879; that prior to their
mothers marriage to Stoffel he
agreed to adopt and support the
plaintiffs as his own children and
after his death they were to inherit
his property; that pursuant to this
agreement their mother was married
to Stoffel, in 1880, Anna then being
twelve years of age and Theresa
nine; that Stoffel repeatedly stated
that he did not want to send them
to school to make teachers out of
them because if they would work
on the farm they would inherit his
property; that they called him
father, and that they went by the
name of StOffel and Anna was con-
firmed under the name of Stoffel in
the church.
Further Statement in Complaint.
The complaint goes on to say that
at the time of the death of their
father, Mr.. Hampl, the latter had
homestead, five cows, a yoke of
oxen, farm machinery, ETC., that
when their mother married Stoffel
he lived on this place for a time
and afterwards moved the buildings
to his own place, near by, and
moved the personal property over,
and proved up on the Hampl home
stead and sold it; that Stoffel had
repeatedly told the two plaintiffs

Tar Macadam Favored.

r. f. Brown called attention to
the tar macadam in the city and
desired to be remembered, as his
company could sell the tar cheaper
than anyone else, and it made a
good pavement. One block had been
down four years and is a fine pave
ment.
Judge Cray urged the council to
help out in paying for the pamphlets
to advertise the city. 1t would be
just to have the city at large pay
for it, for advertising was for the
benefit of the whole city. There
would be no private advertising in
the pamphlet.
Commissioner Bangerter moved
that the council appropriate 5000 to
the Commercial club for advertising
the city. He was not in favor of a
subterfuge, or lodging the issue. The
motion was carried.
Adjournment was taken until 10
a. m. Thursday.
George NJ. Palmer arrived too late
for the meeting, but was in favor
of creosoted blocks, speaking for the
First National bank.

MUCH DATA is GATHERED BY
THE SURVEYORS.
ton of Cars Will Be Reduced to
Minimum.

The two surveyors who have been
engaged in running lines between
Mankato and st. Peter, for the pro-
posed interurban electric line, have
secured the data for line, and it
is thought that their report on the
cost of constructing the same will
be received in a few days. This
line will start atatlre end of the
present street car line and go west
on Thompson street to the fair
grounds, and cross the various rail
way tracks near the sheep sheds
with an overland crossing and then
turn northeast and parallel the rail
way tracks to Caroline station, and
then strike northerly through Ka-
sofa and cross the Minnesota river
on the new bridge, coming into Min
nesota street of ST. Peter not very
far from the hospital grounds, and
then proceeding down the main
street of st. Peter to the other side
of the city.
This Line Most Feasible.
This line was found to be the
most feasible, because the fewest
grades would be encountered and
therefore the expense of constructing
the track and operating the cars
would be the least. The line passes
half mile from the Widell quarry.
1t parallels the Milwaukee track
long distance, and follows the gen.
eral trend of all of the steam roads
because the latter have gone where
the grade was the easiest.
The cost of constructing the line
will be somewhat greater than II. E.
Hance estimated, but not so much
SO but what the line can be built
He will proceed at once to secure
the right of way. The line does not
run on or near the highways until
KasOta is reached, and the right of
way to be secured will be about
seventy-fve feet wide.
When it is considered what great
benefit an electric line would soon
prove to be to all of the towns
that it would connect, Mr.. Hance
feels that it will be built His in
vestigations of electric lines in other
states have made him enthusiastic
on the subject.

that they would get his property
after his death.
The two plaintiffs now ask for
specific performance of the contract,
and ask the court to order that the
defendants give them deed to the
house and lot in this city and turn
the personal property over to them.
C. o. Daley is the attorney for the
two plaintiffs, and Phillips & Hunt
are the attorneys for the defendants.
The case will probably go on the
June term calendar. 1t involves a
fine point of law.

10 The Daily FREQ

From Tuesdays Daily.
TO The Daily Free Press: The
Civic Improvement league of Mankato
is DESTROYS that the city should be
second to none in cleanliness and
sanitary regulations. The pure food
law has done much to improve the
quality of food, and yet many who
handle and sell food stuffs do not
seem to realize the Importance to
the health of the community of
strict cleanliness.
Some cities have an ordinance
which requires any person who op-
crates a bakery, candy kitchen or
restaurant, to apply to the health de-
partment of the council for a per-
nit which is granted only after the
committee of health has examined
the premises, the fixtures, and ap-
pllances to be used Light ventila-
ton, and cleanliness are the first req
uisites. These regulations would be
none too good for Mankato. and the
CIVIC league would urge upon the
committee of the health department
TO make such ordinance here.
Every workman who in any way
prepares or handles food, especially
should himself be free from disease.
especially from tubercular and other
contagious diseases. The use of TO-
bacco should be strictly forbidden in
rooms where food is prepared or
Kept. No food is more universally
used than milk, and yet it seems TO
nave an affinity for germs. 1t will
easily take in the odor of the barn
yard; unclean hands of the mixer
or any foul odor that may be in the
room where it is kept. 1t costs but
little to have stables well ventilated
and cleaned, given coat of white
wash, two or three times a year. and
the hands of the mixer and all re-
ceptacles receiving the milk should
De kept scrupulously clean. | think

our larger cities, require a bacteria.

From Tuesdays Daily.
Announcement that Mrs. John A.
Johnson wished to adopt child has
resulted in no end of experiences
for her, both amusing and pathetic,
says The st. Paul Pioneer Press.
Mrs. Johnson says she never realized
before that there were so many chill
dren between the ages of three and
ten who wanted to change their
homes, or whose parents were will
ing that they should do So
1t was the morning after the news
that Mrs. Johnson wished legally to
adopt four or five year old girl
that her doorbell rang mistakenly,
and She found on her front porch a
little ten-year-old girl, ragged and
dirty, with a copy of the evening pa
per in her hand.
First Applicant Arrives.
Hardly had Mrs. Johnson opened
the door when the youngster said:
my mamma said / could come
and live with you"
to come in, and explained that she
was too big. 1t developed that her
mother had number of others to
take care of and had to support the
home herself. Mrs. Johnson told the
little one to come next day with her
mother, and Friday both came early
in the morning.
Nellie needs a pair of shoes for
Easter and | cannot get them for
her, and | thought if she lived with
you she could have so many nice
things" said the mother. Needless
to say Nellie joined the Easter
promenade and gloried in the pride
OF new shoes, and her mother is
now assisting Mrs. Johnson in
housekeeping difficulties.
Boy Would Take Girls Place.
Then the same afternoon there
was another ring of the doorbell,
this, time violent one. A boy of
eight years was there, armed with a
bow and arrow. He announced he
had come to be adopted
But / want little girl" said
Mrs. Johnson.
well, l amt girl, but l guess |
will do" encouraged the boy, and
was very much disappointed that he
could not be made a part of the
Johnson household
Another yOungster, girl, when
asked to come into the parlOr i'm.
medlately spied the life-sized por-
trait of the former governor and
said, "Oh, look at the picture of Gov.
ernor Johnson. It's just the same,
only lots bigger than the one we
have at home. Isn't it pretty?"
Mrs. johnson in No Hurry.
Each mail brings Mrs. Johnson a
dozen or more applications from
mothers, children's homes, disinter-
ested friends, charity workers, and
various philanthropic organizations
offering information as to where a
child can be procured.
But Mrs. Johnson says she is in
no hurry and will wait until she
meets youngster who seems to ap-
peal to her.
