change Street.

The six inch storm sewer in Elk
change street, back of the Mankato
Commercial college, became stopped
up, and was dug up yesterday by
Street Commissioner Waters and
found to be filler sOlidly with dirt.
The city has decided to dig it all up
from the alley between the college
and the Saulpaugh to the Walnut
street storm sewer and to replace
it with ten inch pipe. This will
give the water nice fall, and the
pipe will be large enough for all flu
ture use. The distance is 20 feet.
The present pipe is believed to be

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CRITICIZED
Speaker at Bible Conference Today
Says it is Happy But Not
Complete Life.

An unexpected attraction is to fea-
ture the Bible conference now being
held in this city, arrangements to-
day having been made to have DR.. S.
S. Hilscher, "a prominent chatauqua
lecturer deliver his metaphysical
Quackery'' lecture in the City Hall
on Friday evening of this week.
Although DR.. Hilscher is a speak
,er who commands not less than 500
a night, the lecture on Friday even
ing will be free to the public. A col
lection will be taken, but there will
be no admittance fee charged.
.. Makes No Attack.
This lecture deals in a popular way
with the modern metaphysical move
ment. 1t attacks no organized sys--
tenn of religious belief, but indicates
the possibility and danger of a "met-
aphysician Quack'' as the successor of
the physician quack.'
DR.. S. S. Hilscher is the pastor of
one of the largest and most import
xnt churches in the state OF Kansas,
located at lola. He received thor
ough training for his work in the
Lincoln college of Millikin Univer-
sity and in the Mccormick Theologi-
cal Seminary, being graduated from
both of these institutions. He taught
for six years, for four years being SUI
perintendent of city schools in Min
nesota. For three years he was
postgraduate student of Lake For
est University in the department of
Sociology. He was trained for the
law and is a member of the bar of
the state of Minnesota. He UNDER
stands the subjects on which he pre-
sumes to speak. One has said that
There is never dull moment when

Takes Fling at Christian Science.
Christian Science was hit by DR..
S. S. Hilscher in his address on Man,
His Individual and Race History, be-
fore the Bible Conference this morn
ing. DR.. -Hilscher said that the
Christian Science deals only with the
soul of man and not the spirit, that
the study leads one to have a sweet
disposition, and make life seem more
easy, but that by not teaching of the
spirit it does not bring its student
nearer to Jesus Christ. The doctor
explained how at the beginning man
had three parts, soul, spirit and body,
and how at the present time man, as
a whole, had lots much Of that first
blessing.
The meeting this morning was
largely attended, marked increase
in interest being shown.
DR.. Gaeberlein spoke this after
noon, continuing his address on Ro-
mans and tonight another of the big
features of the conference will take
place when DR.. Luccock will tell of

He will talk in the Presbyterian
church, where all the meetings are
being held.

The Dairy Herd.

'sThe dairy herd on Mr.. Schroeder's
farm is composed of common grade
cows with a pure-bred Holstein bull
of excellent breeding at the head.
These cows, of which he now has A,
were purchased in the neighborhood
at an average cost of less than $50
each. By careful selection, at the
beginning, of good producers and by
breeding up the quality of the herd
with the use of q good sire, it is Mr..
Schroeder's belief that he will net
more in the end than if he had ship
ped in pure-bred stock at high prices.
From December until June, the av-
erage daily production of Al cows
was ~ pounds of milk, or l Ia
pounds of butterfat. One COW in the
herd, Bessie, in period of 166 days,
from December Is to June 8, pro-
duced BIT pounds of butterfat, ac-
cording to the tests made and records
kept at the farm. In summer the
cows are on pasture in the brush, and
in addition receive about three or
four pounds of shorts or grounds oats
per day. In winter, they are fed two
pounds of grain for each five pounds
of milk produced, about 80 pounds of
ensilage and all the hay they will
eat. The barn is roomy, light and
comfortable, and it is kept clean and
well ventilated; SO that, if comfort
and good care have anything to do
with the milk flow, these cows have
every reasonable inducement to do
their best The returns from the
product, sold in Bemidji, are 20 cents
a gallon for milk, 80 cents gallon
or 33 cents quart for cream, 25
cents pound for butter and Is cents
gallon for buttermilk. The prices
received in Bemidji are somewhat
higher, but q deduction Is mAhe for
the cost of marketing and the above
figures are the returns credited to
the farm Mr. Schroeder stated that
the total receipts to the farm from
December LIST to June 1st had aEer-
aged $3.50 per month. In May they
amounted to = totsl OF 37sO.
