From Saturdays Daily.


Thirty-two carloads of sugar beets
have been shipped from Mankato to
the sugar beet factory at Chaska, and
during the month of October the
factory received from all of it's trib.
utary crops a shipment of 10000
tons of beets. This is a record
breaking quantity. The farmers will
receive for the October shipments
$500, 000
In the vicinity of Mankato the
crop this year is yielding well, some
of it producing 500 an acre. There
are about 200 acres planted ne~'
Mankato, as compared with about
seven acres last year.
Because of the excellent weather
of the past month the crop is being
hurried to market, and the factory
is being hard pushed In many OF
the smaller towns the factory agents
are buying the beets and are pitting
them until such time as the fac
tory is ready to handle them. Frcez.
ing does not harm them in the least
SO there is nothing lost by holding

FIFTH BAD CHECK HAS
Been FOUND BY POLICE
From Saturdays Daily.

From Saturdays Daily.
Ward Dineen, who was arrested
Thursday afternoon 'for attempting to
pass forged checks, and who is now
serving thirty day Jail sentence for
drunkenness because no formal
charge of passing forged paper has
been preferred against him, must
have been supplied with job lot
OF the checks which he was in 8
great hurry to dispose of.
1t was discovered this morning that
Dineen got $3.50 on a bad check at
| the Rex cigar store last Sunday
This is the fifth check that has been
located and all are made out in the
name of j. H. Hughes. The last one
was cashed at the Rex cigar store
on Sunday Jack O'Brien, proprietor
of the Rex, said that Dineen came in
with check for $3.50 with the name
of j. H. Hughes attached. Mr.
| O'Brien says that the check did not
look good to him, but as he knew
Dineen he did not refuse to give him
the money. When Mr.. O'Brien learn.
ed that he was in possession OF a
l"phony" check he informed Dineen's
father, well-to-do farmer near
Sleepy Eye, of the transaction and
| the elder Dineen said that he would
make good the amount. Mr.. O'Brien
has decided not to prefer any charge
against the younger Dineen.
Police Are Disguised. f..
Dineen pleads for mercy because
he was drunk, but although this is
no excuse for him. 1t has been learn
ed that he was not intoxicated when
he passed the first forged cheek in
Christ Polchow's saloon Thursday
forenoon, nor was he in that condi
! ton when he got the money on the
bad paper at the Rex last Sunday
The police are rather disguised with
the way Dineen has escaped what
was coming to him after they had
caught him with the goods. Chief
Donahue thinks the fellow is getting
off altogether to easy. IF Dineen
had got away with the $3.50 that he
tried to raise on the bad paper in the
First National bank" says the chief
1.-The public would have been loud in
their denunciations of the police
d, force. We have suffered good deal
of unjust criticism for similar cir
cumstances before. But now that we
have the man redhanded, no one will
take any steps to have his just pun
ishment melted out to him. If he
had escaped the public would have
said that he well deserved a prison
sentence, but now that it is in their
power to give him what is coming to
him, they have no thought of public
protection hereafter" ..,.-.e-.
! Dineen says that he was drunk
when he got the checks and does not
know where they came. from. He
says that some one gave them to him
but does not know who this generous
person was nor where the donation
took place. 1t seems little incon
gruous to the police that any one
should go around with a bunch OF
checks and distribute them promis
cuously among the populace.

SLASH EXPRESS RATES
PARCELS POST FIGURES

st. Paul, November 2.-The ex-
press companies, including all those
operating out of st. Paul, will file
new schedule of rates with the
Interstate Commerce commission De-
cember l. This is to meet the ex-
pected competition through the op-
Grafton of the parcels post, which
goes into effect January /.
conference OF the executive Of
ficers of all the express companies
is to be held at New York about the
first of December and it is expected
the proposed schedules will be the
result of common agreement.
While officers of the Wells Fargo
Express company would not discuss
the reported conference held in Min
neapolis this week, other express
company officers in st. Paul declare
the rates will be changed somewhat.
Statement of the Case.
John w. Owens, agent of the
Adams Express company, said his
company, in common with all 9TH
ers, would file new schedule, but
that as matter of fact the express
rates in some cases would be cheap
CT lIdU lHc pdTCeIS posi-, WITHOUT
change. He cited an instance in
which some one wished to send a
ten-pound package to New York, and
showed that while the rate by post
would be 80 cents against 81 charg-
ed by express, this would not in
clude the hauling of the package in
st. Paul
Calls for and Delivers Packages.
"The express company calls for
and delivers packages" said Mr..
Owens The parcels post will de-
liver only. If one lives outside of
the center of the city he must carry
his parcels post package to the post
office and pay car fare, so that there
is no saving on the larger pack
ages,
1t is believed the new schedule Of
express rates will affect the ship
ments of smaller packages, from one
to five pounds. 1t was pointed out
by the express officials that the post
rates on one-pound packages for adj
iacent points was lower than the
present express rates and efforts will
be made TO meet this competition,
