Crop experts and men connected
with the grain elevators throughout
Blue Earth county are busy with
the long record breaking influx of
grain from the fertile fields in this
vicinity of the state. Delayed for
some time by the frequent rain
falls and incident bad weather for
extensive harvesting, the flow of
grain to Blue Earth county markets
stands every chance of breaking all
records say grain dealers. The
climax for grain shipments is not
expected for some time as it will
require longer for stacked grain to
go through the sweat. The roads
generally, however, are in excellent
condition and if rain holds off for
week longer the threshing from
stacks will be we'll under way.
The only thing now needed to
complete the arrangements for the
amassing of huge fortunes by farm
ers in Southern Minnesota is a
series of smiles from Old Sol, ac-
cording to the men who are closely
acquainted with the situation. Farm

CORN CROP PROMISES
TO SWELL THE BINS

ers in the northwest will realize
larger amounts from their crops this
year than ever before, say grain
dealers. In spite of the fact that
most of the corn throughout the
state is a trifle backward, it is
practically assured that record
bumper crop will be harvested this
fall. The warm weather during the
past week has helped to mature
corn wonderfully and in many places
farmers are already at work cutting
the outside rows of their corn fields
SO as to permit an early start with
binders.
Judge Comstock of the municipal
court, an ardent agriculturist, says
that Blue Earth county husbandry-
men should take more interest in
the growing Of clover and alfalfa
He thinks that the soil of this
county is sufficiently fertile to pro-
duce plenty of clover and believes
that in due time the farmers will
take more interest in this particular
phase of raising ruffage and feed
for their stock.

HAS MUSCLE

Governor Eberhart is the strong
man of his own administration, says
The Minneapolis Tribune He proved
that conclusively at the state fair
grounds Saturday. He also indicated
that the strenuous life had no ter
rors for him, and if his political
condition is equal to his physical
trim, his opponents might as well
take back seat.
The athletic contest occurred in
the state department of weights and
measures in the agricultural build
ing. "A number of visitors were
handling the 50-pound weights that
are kept there.
"Can you raise one of those above
your head?" suggested some one.
Several attempts were made, but
no one could hoist the heavy dumb
bell at arms length above his head.
Commissioner Maxfield,
who is more than feet tall and
weighs more than 200 pounds, final
ly succeeded in putting it up once.
Governor Eberhart was an interest
ed spectator.
Raises Weight 10 Times.
81 think l can do that he smil-
ingly suggested. Taking the heavy
weight in his hand he placed it
above his head as if it had been a
feather. One. two, three, four times
the weight shot upward, the right
arm working like a piston rod. AT
ter the tenth time the governor laid
down the weight to give somebody
else chance.

stand all your campaign punishment

away.
"You can bank on it," was the
confident reply.

TWO ENGINES BUMPED
From Mondays Daily.

From Mondays Daily.
An extra freight, No. 331, running
light on the Omaha road collided
head-on with freight train No. 20
Ion the hill east of Caroline station
near Kasota at 11:57 last night.
No one was injured and the dam
age sustained was light. No. 331
was bound for the new yards when
the accident occurred. 1t was said
that the extra had orders to pro-
'ceed to the new yards and it was
thought that there was ample time
to get over the main line before
No. 20 was, due. When the COLI
sion occurred both trains were
moving slowly, it is said. The en-
CINE of No. 331 was derailed, her
pilot smashed and the engine of No.
20 sustained demolished water
tank. The fact that no one was in
jured is miraculous. The derailed
locomotive blocked traffic until
$50 this morning when workmen
succeeded in clearing the line.
Omaha passenger trains Nos. 8 and
II were delayed an hour because of
having to come into Mankato by
way of Mankato junction.

ing elected by the city council to
the position of city. health COM
missioner, vice DR.. A. e. Sohmer,
resigned.
That the city may have a more
efficient means of discouraging con-
tagious diseases, DR.. a. E Sohmer,
the retiring health commissioner.
suggested to the counsel the cleo.
ton of DR.. Pratt. DR.. Sohmer held
that DIR. Pratt was better situated
to cope with the health problem
here than most anyone else. at is
almost impossible for local ply
stefan to look after the health sit
uation as it should be and obtain
the proper results because such
work interferes in many ways with
his regular practice. DR. Pratt is not
actively engaged in practicing and
he is therefore in better position
to make the proper investigations
which involves the health of the peo-
pie of this city," said DR.. Sohmer.
Nov, just as an example" con-
tinued DR.. Sohmer, recently there
was case of diphtheria. / investi.
gated the matter, and submitted the
culture tubes to DR.. Pratt. He made
the test and got the results. DR..
Pratt has all of this work to do and
knows before I do what the result
of a test will be. / contend and
say that as long as he does this
work that it would be better if he
were appointed as the city's health
commissioner" With these remarks
Dr. Sohmer rendered his resignation.
DR.. Pratt Is Elected.
Commissioner Bangerter made
motion that DR.. Sohmer's resigna-
ton be accepted and that DR.. Pratt
be elected to succeed him. The
motion was carried.
Alex Bashaw gave an indemnity
bond for $1,000 with the Massa-
chusetts Surety company as security
for work done on North Fourth
street 1t was accepted.
Attorney A. r. Pfau, Jr., objected
to an assessment for cement side
walk on Gunther Hill on behalf of
Benjamin D. Smith, who is absent
from the city. Action was post
poned until the next meeting of the
council.
People living in the vicinity of
the old Mankato Malt house, recent
ly destroyed by fire, are complain
ing of the offensive odor which they
attribute to the ruins of that build
ing. The city will clean up the
debris tomorrow, if action is not
taken by the leaseholders.
Contractor Overn was present and
spoke of the sewer which is being
built near the Mothers House. He
said that he was requested to post
pone the work there until after the
dedicatory exercises tomorrow, and
work on Thompson street in the
meantime. The matter was re-
ferred to Commissioner Henline.
A certificate of indebtedness for

BABY DEAD AND FATHER
LONG WAY FROM HOME
From Mondays Daily.

From Mondays Daily.
After spending all his savings for
railroad fare to a point number of
miles from the Cheyenne Indian
reservation in North Dakota where
he went for his health week ago,
/. M. Mills of Chicago received a
telegram from his wife asking him
to come home at once as their two
year-old-baby was dying.
Mills arrived at Mankato yester-
day on his way home. He did not
have sufficient funds to carry him
all the way and stopped here to
earn enough money SO as he could
pay his fare for the remainder of
the trip. Mills says that he was
at his brothers ranch which is
quite distance from any railroad.
When the message arrived his
brother was away at the reserva-
ton for supplies. 81 became almost
frantic" said Mills. 1.-THE babe was
ill when I went away, my wife is
not in the best of health, and |
simply had to leave for the doctors
said that | would not live month
if | remained"
Started on Long Walk.
81 did not know whether to wait
for my brother or not as he ex-
pected to be gone for several days.
made up my mind, however, to
leave at once so | scrubbed brief
note of explanation, laid it on the
table where my brother would find
it when he returned and started out
on the long walk to the railroad
station.
"In my excitement / forgot to
take any water with me and as
there were no farm houses along
the trail over the prairie ] suffered
considerably from thirst before ]
arrived at my destination. Several
times on the road l thought that
would have to give it up because of
rapidly failing strength. l continu-
ed on, however, in spite of the fact
that | could hardly walk and reach
ed the station early the next day.
With what money l had l purchased
a ticket to Mankato."
When asked why he didn't try to
locate his brother he said that the
telegraph operator informed him
that his brother had left for the
ranch during the night. Mills thinks
that he must have taken trail
other than the main one because of
not having met him.
