Bold Thieves Turn a Trick al
Store of P. N. Sterile.
VALUE OF LOOT ABOUT $500
Burglary Occurred Early This Morning
While Town Was Abed and
Sound Asleep.
From Saturdays Daily.

From Saturdays Daily.
The general merchandise store of
p. N. Sterile at st. James, was en-
tered by burglars last night, and
robbed of about ten bolts of silk, a
pair of shoes and pair of overalls.
The entire booty is valued at $500, as
the silk was of high quality.
Entered Basement Window.
The burglars gained their entrance
through window in the basement,
and from the basement reached the
first floor, where they made their
haul. The deed was committed be-
tween the hours of twelve and three
o'clock in the morning. The bur
glars shed some of their clothes in
the store, and put on the new ar
ticles, leaving pair of trousers and
shoes.
Sheriff Got Busy.
When the robbery was discovered
this morning, the sheriff, Immediately
telephoned to the neighboring cities,
including Mankato. There was no
clue, except the remnant clothes, to
work on, as no one saw them prowl-
ing around the store. Mr.. Sterile is
also mayer of st. James.

At the very time when dispatches

the trust is controlling the prices of

1t is shown by the government re-
port that the live stock receipts at the
seven principal Western markets in
April were greater than in any April
since 1907. Furthermore, the aggre-

of this year were greater by far than
in the same four months of any year
for the last decade.

have been encouraged by the defeat

stock showing all through the early
part of the year is remarkably good.

the receipts in the same period in pre-

In April were heavy in the Western
markets and showed increases over
preceding April receipts.

SCHEME Is WELL MATURED
Senator Crane and Other Advisors Are
Busy Preparing to Use Effort

Washington, June 1.-Senator Crane
and the other advisers of President

to sidetrack him if possible and throw
as much of his strength as they car

Senator Crane outlined to one OF
his callers that the plan of the Taft
managers now is to work to prevent
the nomination of Roosevelt on the
first few ballots; then to weed out his
delegates as fast as they can be taken
and deliver them T. Hughes.

st. Paul, June 1.-The law passed
at the last session of the legislature
prohibiting the coloring of oleomar-
garine to make it resemble butter,
yesterday was declared unconstitu-
tional by the Minnesota supreme
court, in the case brought by the
state against Ole Hanson of Man
kato.
1t was admitted by the state that
the oleomargarine which caused the
arrest of Mr.. Hanson was colored
yellow, after a careful selection of
ingredients and careful manufacture.
The court said:
"Oleomargarine may be made OF
sveral different shades. The article
that defendant was convicted of SELL
ing was Intentionally made of a
deeper yenow. The motive is plain
the consumer will not buy the
lighter colored article. The sales of
this are but 10 per cent of the yell
low article, while the price is the
same. There can be, however, no in
tent to deceive the purchaser or con-
sumner, as the provisions of the law
wrappers are fully complied with.
"The law passed by the legislature
makes criminal the manufacture of
oleomargarine of a shade or tint of
yellow without proof of an intent to
deceive. This being so, the law can
not be sustained unless there is a
reasonable probability that the pur-
chaser or consumer will be deceived
by the yellow shade or tint, into buy
ing or eating oleomargarine, mistak-
ing it for butter. Oleomargarine
should be sold for what it really is.
"The high cost of butter is notori-
Gus. The poor man must often go
without or buy the inferior grades,
while people of moderate means find
butter a luxury they can ill afford.
Apparently, Judging from the fact
that sales of the light colOred oleo-
are but 10 per cent of the
sales of darker yellow, the people

jures instead of benefits the public
but deprives the manufacturer of his
property without due process of law.
The case was fought by Swift &
Co., packers, for Mr.. Hanson. The
syllabus, written by Judge Bum, fol,
lows:
Defendant was convicted of selling
oleomargarine made in imitation of
butter of a shade or tint Of yellow,
under chapter 1873, Laws of 1911. 1t
lis held:
1. Evidence was sufficient to JUS
tify the jury in finding that the oleo-
margarine sold was by intentional
selection of ingredients, though with
out artificial coloring purposely
made of a shade or tint of yellow.
2. Chapter 1873, Laws of 1911, con-
strued and held to prohibit the man
ufacture or sale of oleomaTgarine, pur.
posely made of a shade or tint of
yellow, though no artificial coloring
matter is used, and that the words
butter of shade or tint of yellow"
mean not only yellow butter" but
all butter which has any shade or
tint of yellow. g..
3. AS so construed, article 1 of
the act is unconstitutional in so far
as it prohibits the manufacture or
sale of oleomargarine of a shade or
tint of yellow, such shade or tint be-
ing produced by natural and essen
tial ingredients which are not de-
leterious or injurious to health.
Reversed and new trial granted.

food commissioner, said today that
he would consult with the attorney
General on the preparation of a
new bill to protect the dairy inter-

Meetings Will Be Held With the
Farmers; Their Purpose.
WHAT THE Ell WELL LAW MEANS
1t Has Direct Bearing On the Progress
of Highway Improvement in Blue
Earth County.
from Saturdays Daily.

from Saturdays Daily.
Since the supreme court of this
state declared the Elwell road law
constitutional, considerable interest
has been manifested in highways in
the county. The decision of the SUI
preme court has direct bearing on
the progress of Blue Earth county
farmers in the matter of getting good
reads and partially overcoming the
cost difficulty.
1t will mean much to Mankato to
secure this good roads improvement
and active steps will be taken at
once to get the farmers to give an
ing the improving of the roads in
this county by aid of the Elwell pro.
vision.
Will Meet With Farmers.
The commissioners of Blue Earth
county are willing to begin improve
ments and grading the highway from
Mankato to Good Thunder, thence to
Sterling Center, Amboy and Pleasant
Mound, and will ask the states help
as soon as the Endorsement of the
farmers is secured.
Meetings will be held for the farm
ers along this route, for the pur.
poses of giving them an opportunity
to express themselves regarding this
proposed road improvement.
The commissioners will start out
next Thursday morning and will hold
meetings along the line. The first
will be held at the Red Jacket bridge
at eight o'clock in the morning, al
the Wingen school house. Rapidan at
nine o'clock, at Good Thunder. ten
o'clock, Sterling town hall, eleven
o'clock, at Amboy, one o'clock, and
at the Pleasant Mound town hall
2:3O p. m. The trip will be made by
automobile, and short speeches will
be given.
Interest in Improvement.
The commissions desire to meet all
the farmers along the line. those who
are in favor of improving the road
or opposed. if any At these meetings
the Elwell law will be explained and
a rough estimate of the cost to each
farmer living along the road, will be
made.
Under the Elwell law the state will
pay one-half of the cost, the county
one-fourth and the farmers benefited
one-fourth. This is really one of the
most important moves for good roads
that has ever been inaugurated fol-
the county. for it is business like
and will be conducted along lines
large enough to get low figures from
contractors.
Will Be Graded and GraveIed.
This road will be graded and grav
eled under state specifications if i'm
proved and will run through the coun
ty to the southwestern part, a dis
lance of forty-five miles where it will
connect with the state road from
Martin county, thus providing a road
straight through to Fairmont and
points beyond. If the farmers decide
favorably, this road may be built
this year.

tried many different foods, but nothing
seemed to agree with her. Then we de-
