Raymond Weech was convicted OF
petit larceny when tried last night
before the normal court. He was
charged with stealing three bags of
freshly popped corn from Miss Alice
Bohan at a sophomore class party
at the normal school.
The trial took place last night in
the normal school chapel and was
listened to by crowded house. in
GLIDING many townspeople as well as
the students.
Maurice Nelson and George Clark
were attorneys for the state and
Timothy O'Keefe and Earl Vinton
were attorneys for the defendant.
All of these young men as well as
the Judge were members of the So
cial Progress club of the school.
I The trial brought out the facts
that Mr.. Weech has been violently
sick after the evening when this
rpp corn was stolen, and that pre-
yi,ous to that time he had been in
the care of physicians, who had told
him that he should eat no starchy
food. Before the sophomore party

noted expert on corn and other farm
products, is to be one of the speak
ers at the agricultural short course
nection with the annual meeting of
the Minnesota Field Crop Breeders
association and the Minnesota Corn
Growers association. He is said to
be "crackerjack," and those in
charge of the program are very for
tunate to secure his services.
Professor c. p. Bull, secretary of
the two associations, writes that
President Vincent of the state uni
versity cannot get away at this time,
but that another first class speaker
will be secured in his place. He was
to have been one of the evening
speakers.
Two valuable addresses on the cul-
tivation of corn are to be given by
r. Shumway, teacher of agriculture
in the high school and secretary of
the Blue Earth County Pure Seed as
ISOLATION. The former will speak
upon 1.-THE Cultivation of Corn" and
the latter upon 1.-The Germative Test
and It's Value"
The premium lists have not yet
arrived, but are expected every day.
Announcements will be made as soon
as they arrive.
Bring in Your Exhibit.
Professor Shumway would like to
have all exhibits brought in Satur-
day, February %, if possible. He
states that the entries will close
Monday, February "a. Professor
Shumway will be in the hall on the
third floor of the J. B. & ID. Rich
ards block all day Saturday, Febru-
airy %, to receive exhibits.
For the purpose of judging at. the
agricultural short course, Arthur
Chapman has kindly agreed to bring
in some of his pure bred ShorthOrns
on "Wednesday, February 26. The sub
ject of hogs will be considered on
Friday. the last day, and John G..
Gerlich, a breeder of pure bred Pc.
land China swine. has offered to
bring in some of his hogs. Arrange
ments are also being made to secure
some draft horses and some dairy
cattle for the days when these sub.
jects will come up. A special place
for exhibiting these will also be ar
ranged for, probably some large hall
if the weather should not be favor,
able for out of door work.

RAYMOND WEIGH is FOUND
GUILTY OF PETTY LARCENY

lady friend, who knew of this con-
dtion of his health and her supper
consisted of hamburger smothered in
onions, sauer kraut and other equally
edible viands which are lacking in
starchy substance. 1t was decided
that he was i'll as result of eating
something else than the supper pre-
pared by the young lady.
During the party he was seen 10
Turk in the halls near the closet IN
which the popcorn was secreted and
his presence seemed suspicious.
The evidence was funny all through
and the lawyers showed great skill
in bringing out their line of argu-
ments. Maurice Nelson caused an
uproar in court by his questioning
of hackdriver who conveyed Mr..
Weech to a greenhouse after flowers
for his young lady friend on tho
night of the theft. The witnesses
all showed the result of their az
torneys' valuable advice and their
testimony was most amusing.
Mr.. Weech has not yet been sen.
fenced, but it is suspected that he
will be banished to st. Peter for a
period of six months.

EMANCIPATION
PROCLAMATION
OF JAN. |, 1868

&gS IFTy years ago GA t5e list
"a of January. 1863. the eman-
E cipation proclamation was is
sued This was the culminat-
ing act of Abraham Lincoln's life, the
one for which he will be longest re-
membered. There is abundant evil
dence to show that he contemplated
the step long before it was taken.
After his careful manner. he reasoned
the question out from every possible
standpoint, weighing the effects of his
action.
The processes of the great emanci-
pator's mind were revealed to his
friend Leonard SWEET. whom he sent
for to call at the White House. There
Mr.. Lincoln read to him several letters
concerning emancipation. then argued
out the whole question in the presence
of his nearer. as if thinking aloud. He
then terminated the interview. This
was in the summer of 1862. Shortly
thereafter. on July %, he called to-
gether the cabinet to consider the SUBJ
ject. To Frank B. Carpenter, the art
list who painted THE First Reading of
the Emancipation Proclamation, Mr..
Lincoln remarked:
II said to the cabinet that | had re-
solved upon this step and had not
called them together to ask their adj
vice. but to lay the subject matter Of
proclamation before them-sugges-
lions as to which would be in order
after they had heard it read"
1t was two months To a day, how
ever. before this preliminary draft was
given to the public. Secretary Seward
urged that it should not be given out
until there was Union victory. This
appealed to the president as good tao
ties, so it was withheld till after the
battle of Antietam and was published
on Sept. 22. In effect it proposed that
after 100 days the slaves of all those
remaining i'm rebellion should be freed
as war measure. The hundred day
period expired on Jan. j. and the final
emancipation proclamation was issued
on that day.
For this step Mr.. Lincoln took the
sole initiative and the undivided re-
sponsibility Freeing the slaves as a
war measure was strategic move.
Merely as president of the United
States Mr. Lincoln had no power to
emancipate the slave. But as com
mander in chief of the army and navy
during war he had unquestioned
power to take the property of the enc
my, a right that had been recognized
from time immemorial.

ious states have not been opened,
but there is practically no POSSIBLE
ity of the result being found in any
respect different from that already
unofficially announced-Wilson, 1876;
Roosevelt SO, and Taft s. Even a
technical error in the returns would
hardly invalidate states vote.
Four years ago some western state
recorded its vote for James S. Sher-
man as if he came from that state
instead of from New York. But on
motion of Senator Joseph w. Bailey
of Texas the error was disregarded
and the vote counted.
