ONLY FIRST AID is GIVEN

According to ruling made by the
Chicago Great Western Railway COM
pany that railroad will, in the future,
refuse to extend anything further
than first aid to any tramp who is
injured either by or on one of the
company's trains.
Falling from feight cars, getting
injured by tumbling off bumpers or
rods, or hit by trains while sleeping
on the track, are not causes for per-
manent care on the part of the rail
road company, so the managers be-
lieve, and employees have been in
structed that when accidents of this
kind occur to extend first aid to the
injured always, and then turn the
victim over to the authorities of the
city or town nearest which the &C
cident occurs.
The railroad company takes the
proposition that persons with no visi-
BILE means of support, who are steal
ing rides or go to sleep on the track
are trespassers in every sense of
the word and that the company has
nothing but temporary liability in
the premises.

IS ELECTED
From Mondays Daily.

From Mondays Daily.
l.. IT, Jefferson was the only new
member elected to the board of ed
ucation Saturday. Joseph Blssen-
bach was a candidate for reelection
but was defeated by Mr.. Jefferson,
the vote standing 1873 for Mr. Jeffer-
son and forty-two for Mr.. Blissen-
bach. Mr.. Jefferson will represent
the first precinct.
w. B. Davies was reelected in the
second precinct and fifteen votes
were cast In the third precinct
seven votes were cast, all for DR..
]. S. Holbrook. Judge Evan Hughes
was reelected in the fourth precinct,
there being twenty-eight votes cast.
1t is rumored today that Joseph
Blissenbach, who was defeated nv l..
T. Jefferson for membership on the
board of education at the election
Saturday, will contest the election
on the grounds that Mr.. Jefferson
furnished conveyances to carry vot-
ers to the polls. Under the corrupt
practices act which was passed by
the last legislature, it is illegal to
secure votes in such a manner, but
opinion is divided as to whether that
law covers school elections.
When interviewed by The Free
Press Mr. Blissenbach said that he
would announce later whether or not
he would contest the election.

BALLOT is A YARD LONG

, Julius A. Schmahl, secretary of
state, has sent to county auditors
the form for sample ballots to be
used in the primaries this fall. The
sample ballot for state and county
officers, which will be together on
one sheet, is about three feet long
for each party. Mr.. Schmahl will
certify to the county auditors on
August s the parties which are en-
titled to make nominations at the
primary.
There probably will be five par
ties, the republican, democratic, pro-
hibitionist, public ownership and So
cial labor. The state and county
ballot where there are an average
number of filings for county office
will be about yard in length.
County Auditor Weaver is in re-
ceipt of sample ballots. They are
a curiosity and will make the aver
age voter weary of voting at the pri-
mary.
The primary election ballot is
three feet long and about two news
paper columns wide. The non-parti-
san primary ballot is one and one
half feet long. Mr. Schmahl wrote
Auditor Weaver saying that because
of the new provision, each county
auditor will be required to furnish
blanks for the primary election, in
Guiding the printing of ballots, for
each party Estate, congressional, leg
islative and county candidates of
each party, to make up one BALLOT.
One separate ballot for nOn-partisan
candidates must also be provided.
The state office will furnish regis
ters and posting sheets which bear
on the general election. 1t will also
furnish blanks for returns of the
county canvassing boards, to the
state canvassing boards.

TO CLOSE DOWN

The Hubbard mill will close down
all next week, as new uOlting
system will be installed. Expert
mill-wrights have been at work at
the mill for several weeks, working
out the details for the installation
of this new and latest improved
swing sifters. The work of Install
ing the machinery will begin next
Monday. These sifters are put in,
not to increase the capacity, but to
increase the efficiency and the
quality of the products. The mill
one-half stories to, make room for
the new machinery. which will be
the best in this part of the state.
A new "economizer" has also been
installed in the boiler room of the
mill. This heats the boiler feed
water with the hot gases from the
boiler. The feed water goes into the
economizer at about 120 degrees and
comes out 240 degrees, resulting in
great saving of coal. Both these
improvements are made AT a cost
of many thousand dollars, but Mr.
Palmer, who is at the head of the
mill, is determined that nothing but
the best machinery shall be used.
However, the factor that is of
most interest to the farmers is the
facilities that Mr.. Palmer will put
in, for buying on the local market,
barley, fax, oats, rye, corn, and all
grains raised on the farm, besides, Of
course, wheat. UP to the present,
wheat is the only grain that has
been purchased, but hereafter, the
farmer can sell all his grain at the
mill, but will not be utilized here to
any great extent, but will be ship
ped out to other points.
This will not only bring greater
number of farmers to Mankato, but
also increase the general business
in the city. A part of nearly every
dollar handled in the city will be
spent in the city, with obvious re-
suits.
