and because she had loved him.
He marveled at himself curiously,

UNCLE'S TRADE IN FLOUR

Washington, July 9-That the
-four trade of the United States bids
fair to make record for expansion
is the belief of officials of the gov
eminent who have been looking into
the matter as the result of recent
statictics sent from Annoy regard
ing the importations of -four from
America to that place.
During the last year Annoy i'm
ported 10000 barrels of American
flour, or three times as much as
during 1910. Famines, floods and the
revolution reduced the wheat pro-
duction in central China to such an
extent as to practically close the
Shanghai flour mills. The price of
rice during the past year has been
the highest in years, which favored
the consumption of -four.
Favorable silver exchange and
cheaper flour in America during
1911 as compared with prices the
few years preceding all helped
American imports to China. In
dications point to a continuation of
the extension of trade during 1912.
The China trade takes the low
grade flours only. Strength is pre-
ferred to whiteneSs.

Ike Weinstein will never spend
another happy hour in Mankato
again, if the orders of Judge Com
stock of the municipal court are fol-
lowed He was arrested recently
for petit larceny on complaint of J.
j. LaDue, who says he stole his hay
rake. He was at that time allowed
to go on his own recognizance, to
report in court at nine o'clock this
morning.
1t is evident that Weinstein did
not care to face the charges in mu-
nicipal court as he disposed of all
his goods and wares, including a
horse and wagon, and then pur-
chased a ticket for Chicago. He
was at the union depot yesterday
Afternoon ready to depart, when
someone who knew that he was or
dered to appear in court today, saw
him and tipped" it off to the po-
lice. Chief Donahue reported it to
Deputy Sheriff Ario, who went to
the station and there took Weinsten
into custody. He spent the night in
the county JAIL and this morning ap-
peared in court.
Judge Comstock sentenced him to
pay Mr.. LaDue $40 for the rake,
then the costs of prosecution, and
ordered him to leave Mankato, new.
er to return. This was done after
he had suspended sentence of for.
ty days in the county Jail.

AS explained in preceding arti-
Gle, three bodies of an official char
acter review the work of the asses
sors in the valuation of the real and
personal property of the state for
purposes of taxation, namely, the
town or local board of review, the
county board of equalization, and the
tax commission.
The theory of the equalization of
assessments is that the town of
local board of review should equa-
lie between individuals and classes,
the county board between assess
ment districts, and the tax COM
mission between counties.
The county commissioners and the
county auditor constitute the county
board Of equalization. This board
meets at the court house on the
third Monday in July, being 18th
of this year, and may continue in
session and adjourn from time to
time during four weeks.

After each member has subscrib-
ed to an oath ito fairly and i'm

board proceeds ito examine and COM
pare the returns of assessments of
property of the several towns or
districts of the county, and to equa-
lie the same by making such in
creases or decreases as may be neces-
sary so that each tract or lot of
real property, and each article or
class of personal property shall be
fairly and equitably assessed.

assessed at it's true and full value,

PUSH A PLAN OF SALE

from tuesdays Ddlty.
Washington, July 9.-Through the
state department the department of
agriculture is watching with inter-
est plan proposed by the Repub-
lie of Uruguay, by which credit
system can be adopted that will
result. 1t is believed, in further
ing the sale of American agricultural
implements in Uruguay. According
to the plan recommended to the
national assembly of that country
by its president, section or rural
credit is to be established in the
Bank of the Republic, which is
the central bank of Uruguay.
This section is to lend money to
rural banks, or in the absence of
banks, to farmers association, which,
in turn will make loans on land
and mortgages to farmers. The
credit section of the bank is to
have an initial capital of 100000
and will undertake the organiza-
ton of farmers associations through
which the plan is to operate. 1t is
expected that large part of the
money thus loaned will be spent in
the purchase. of agricultural i'm
plements and machinery.
Most of the farm machinery will
be bought on cooperative basis
in order that the farmers may have
the use of the most expensive and
modern agricultural machines. The
American minister to Uruguay has
informed this government that he
believes the greater part of this
trade can be secured by manufac-
turers in the United States.

silk lingerie, in all $1,000 worth of
costly women's wearing apparel, were
stolen early Sunday morning from a
dressmaking shop at 1884 Nicollet
avenue. The millinery shop was
thoroughly ransacked by thieves
who knew the difference between real
and imitation lace and the loot was
either carried away in an automo-
bile or in wagon. The burglary
was so complete that Miss Helen
Mccain, one of the proprietors, said
that the firm had practically nothing
left to show customers.
Some Minneapolis women are be-
moaning the loss of gowns which
were to have been ready today. 9th

"They took everything" said Miss
Helen Mccain today. Really we
have nothing left. They must have
known the arrangements of our shop
and they certainly knew the differ
ence in quality of goods, for they
made their selections with great
taste. They must have carried the
loot away in an automobile or dray.

Black and red raspberries are now
on the market and by the middle of
the week every grocer will be sup
piled with an abundance for the
trade. The crop is yielding we'll
this year when care had been given
the bushes during the spring and
summer. The retail price is two
quart boxes for quarter. The wea-

Erickson Bros, who have a five
acre patch of reds and blacks at
the top of the Strand Hill this side
of Rapidan, have about twenty pick

have some 10000 quarts this season.
A pickers house, fitted up with
crates, containers and cartons, is
provided, and each long berry row is
numbered. Tickets are issued to
each picker which are punched to
correspond with the number, of
quarts picked. 1t is a gorgeous

festooned with the large blacks
which await the picker.

IT CAUSES SOME WORRY
From Tuesdays Daily.

From Tuesdays Daily.
Rumors and stories, many of which
are gross exaggerations, in regard to
the absence of George Wohlhuter, of
this place, have been afloat for some
time past says The Fairmont Sentinel.
While it is true that Mr.. Wohlhuter's
whereabouts are at present mys-
terry, no scandal attaches to his dis
appearance and so far as can be dis
covered his financial affairs are in
the best of condition. Those closest
to him in business way say that a
most conservative estimate would
place his assets over and above all
liabilities at $4,000. Legal steps
have been taken to protect certain
interests, but these will in no way
embarrass the business of the Eleva-
tor company in which Mr.. Wohlhuter
is the principal stock holder. The
business is in good hands and will
be conducted as usual.
There are different theories in re-
gard to Mr.. Wohlhuter's strange
conduct, but the one generally ac-
cepted is that he is suffering from
mental troubles, superinduced by a
long siege of rheumatism and other
physical ailments. His friends, who
are best acquainted with his condi-
ton believe that he will be able in
time to throw off his trouble and re.
turn to his home. Letters and postal
cards received from him have only
added mystery to the case, but that
anything of a criminal nature at
taches to his conduct is not believed.

FAMILY DENIES STORY

The Free Press is in receipt of a
communication from Herman Hack
and family, relative to Hubert
HACKS arrest on November H.,
1910:
In the communication the follow,
ing is stated: at has been said
that Hubert Hack threatened to
kill his father and that he also
threatened to kill John Postels. 1t
is not true and we want to correct
this statement Some time ago HUI
bert Hack had a quarrel with his
brother and John POstels was called
in to settle the quarrel, which he
did Mr.. Postels. was going to ar
rest him and Huoerr was not going
to go with him. Then the two
men had some words. Mr.. Postels
had a warrant sworn out. Herman
Hack did not sign the comnlai"
Herman Hack is Hubert HACKS
father. Hubert paid his fine and
the matter was settled. Hubert Hack
was never arrested before this time
He was well known and was re.
spectacle"
The Free Press knows nothing of
the controversy between Messrs
Postels and Hubert Hack. The court
records in North Mankato show that
Hubert Hack pleaded guilty to
charges made by Mr.. Postels and
paid a fine of 500 and costs.
To The Free Press: l have lived
within a couple of blocks of the
Hack family for the last ten years
and want to say that / have never
seen nor heard anything out of the
way with any of the family. Let
any mother raise seven boys ant
there is bound to be little difficulties

these that Mr.. Postels was called on

the night of July 8, 1912, is con
cerned, / fail to see where he had
committed any offense to be arrest
ed for. He was not talking to these
parties who called the police, until
they invited it.
The young lady to whom Haacl
was speaking was a friend of the
family and I can't see WHY he hadn'
perfect right to greet her in any
form he pleased as long as the
young lady herself did not object
I am sure any one would resent
any third person interfering in THEN
conversation.
Had these ro"ties passed on ant
got their basket all this would not
have happened. Hack is not here

could not tell where his bullet would

Other people were in the stree

of Hack, but the policeman's ain
