SURVEYORS LIKE THE
UNION DEPOT PLANS
Two Railroad Engineers Come to Man
kato And Go Over Ground With
w. H. Pay

Two Milwaukee railway surveyors
arrived in the city yesterday to make
plats of the yards in accordance with
the plans suggested in the meeting
of the Commercial club union depot
and switching committees with the
Representatives of the road recently.
They will spend about three days in
doing the work.
Chairman Pay of the switching
committee met with them yesterday
and went over the yards and pre-
scented his ideas as to the location
of the Omaha passenger depot
where the Milwaukee freight depot
now stands, and the joining of the
two depots with a shed, making a
union depot for ali practical purposes
The engineers thought that this
would be feasible, and thought that
the best place for the Milwaukee
freight depot would be in the rear
of the Saulpaugh hotel.
The plat which the surveyors are
to make will do away with all switch
ing across Main street, as the switch
tracks will end there. 1t is hoped
that before snow flies something def.
mite will be accomplished to end the
switching nuisance at least.

of age" says DR.. Bracken, gathered

Some of them have had infectious
diseases during the summer vacation
and, although now well, are not en-

Where medical supervision is
provided, such pupils are excluded
from school until it is safe for them
to attend. The great mass of pu-

GOOD PROGRESS BEING
MADE ON THE HIGHWAY
Contractor Mccall Is Doing Nicely
With the Good Thunder Road:
Street improvements

Contractor Mccall is making good
progress with the work of grading
the streets in West Mankato that
will connect with the Good Thunder
road. His men are now grading down
the bank in front of Mrs. Woloben's
residence, which was recently ac-
quirtd by tht city. The retaining
wall will be rebuilt ten feet nearer
the house, and this will allow Of
cutting off the projecting arm OF
dirt that has heretofore obscured the
view of those who use the road. The
dirt obtained in this way is being
used to grade the road up in low
places 1t is expected that the con-
tract will be completed before winter.
Some stone cut will have to be made
in two places near the West Mankato
school property. When the road has
been completed it will be first class
in every particular. City Engineer
Blomquist is giving the work his
close attention.
An important piece of work is be-
ing done on the road to Sibley park,
the grade being slightly changed in
connection with the laying of the
cement curb and gutter One of the
cross streets is also being graded.
The grade of these streets is now
being established for all time.
There has been good deal of
street work done in the city the past
year, and it reflects a great deal of
credit on the council. What has
been done has been well done.

GUN HELD
NOT VERY DANGEROUS
So Court at Sleepy Eye Discharged AL.
bert Geiske: Was Charged With
An Assault
Especial to The Free Press. ]

Sleepy Eye, September ALBERT
Geiske was before Judge John Cut
ting of the municipal court this morn
ing on charge of assault with a
dangerous weapon. The complaining
witness was Mic Beckins. The men
had had some trouble while attend
ing an auction sale on farm near
this city last week. 1t was alleged
that Geiske pulled gun on Beck
ms and threatened to shoot him. This
fact was practically established at the
hearing today, but Judge Cutting rul-
ed that as the prosecution had not
proved that the revolver was loaded
he would have to hold that it was
not a dangerous weapon. Also that
at the time the threats were made
Geiske was at least twenty feet from
Beckins.
County Attorney Erickson prescott
ed the case and the defense was in
the hands of Attorneys Davis and

House Passes the Conference
Report BY 254 to 1903
DEMocaATsPRAIsE MEASURE
Smith. Lever Cotton Futures TaxAmeEd-
ment Is Also Approved BY Vote
OF III to 161

Washington, Oct 1.-The Demo.
cratic tariff revision bin left the
house on what the party leaders
hoped would be its last journey to
the senate. After many hours of de,
late the house adopted the main con.
ference agreement on the bill, 254 to
1903, almost Strict party vote, and
by this action gave its endorsement
to everything in the measure except
the cotton futures tax.
At the end Of a short but bitter
fight for the adoption of the report
representative Underwood. the Dem
ocratic leader, succeeded in carrying
through the SmithI4ever cotton fu-
. lures 3 tax *, "mesdmen' by vote of
Democrats and Republicans alike
voted on this without regard to party
and a large portion of the Demo-
cratic membership from Southern
states Joined in the vigorous demand
that the whole subject be carried
over TO another session of congress.
The cotton futures tax question now
rests entirely with the senate The
house concurred in the Clarke amend.
ment put into the tariff bill by the
senate, but added the Smith-Lever
Underwood plan as another amend
ment Unless the senate will accept
this change, which has the endorse
ment OF the president. the whole cot.
ton futures plan win again have to
be considered in the joint conference
committee and again reported to both
houses of congress for action.
Fight on Cotton Futures Tax.
The cotton futures tax dominated
the fight in the house, although but
little time actually was given to its
consideration. The history of the
compromise amendment became 4 mat.
ter OF record.
RepreseRtatiS Underwood said
Representative Lever added that the
basis OF the plan was bill introduced
repeatedly in the senate by Senator
Ellison ID. Smith of South Carolina;
that he had asked the agricultural de.
partmcnt to put the matter into shape
for the tariff bill and that Postmaster
General Burles0n had perfected the
amendment and given it to the presi-
dent. .
Three distinct elements developed
among the Democrats in the cotton
futures fight. One branch, led by Rep
resentative Hardwick of Georgia, de.
manded that the whole subject be
taken out of the tariff and considered
as a separate measure. Another sec
ton, led by Representative Wingo OF
Arkansas, insisted that the house
should accept the language of the
Clarke amendment in the senate.
Representative Underwood headed the
supporters Of the compromise plan.
The tariff bin itself came in for
warm praise from all Democrats Rep
resentative Underwood declared that
in its perfected form its averages were
lower than either the house or senate
originally had contemplated and he
insisted that business conditions in the
United States had so carefully pre-
pared themselves for tariff revision
that there would be little halt to bust
ness progress or prosperity.

THE REASONS WHY A GOOD
FARMER LIKES THE OZARkS.

The Ozark section of Missouri is
the only country where the bankers
and the railroad are actually CO.
operating with the farmers by help
ing them purchase their land at the
proper price, assisting them in pro-
ducing profitable crops by the right
methods, and also helping them mar
ket their products after they are
raised
The. bankers and the railroad are
interested in the continuous success
# the farmers. 1t means the de-
velopment of the country as we'll as
profit to the farmers.
The bankers are inviting new
farmers to come because they know
they can succeed. They know this
by what the land has done and is
doing now.
The most profitable lines of farm
ing in the United States are stock
farming, dairy farming, fruit farming
and poultry farming. The Ozark
bankers know there is no better
country in the world for these lines
OF farming than the Ozarks.
Last year Missouri produced forty
two million dollars worth of poultry
and kindred products alone. Most
OF this was produced in the Ozark
section.

what is now being done in the
Ozarks and what the bankers say
about it. You can secure full in

Albany, n. Y, Oct. Evidence
that Governor Suffers stock transac-
tons with the New York brokerage
firm of Harris & Fuller were for the
account of Mrs. Sulzer was disclosed
at the trial of his impeachment. The
articles of impeachment charge that
the governor made use of some of his
unreported campaign contributions in
these transactions.
Melville b. Fuller. head OF the firm,
said the governor had told him that
Mrs. Sulzer had loan with the now
defunct Carnegie Trust company o,
New York and that to take up the
loan. for which he had given his note,
he had deposited securities belonging
TO Mrs. Sulzer with Harris & Fuller
and borrowed money thereon to pay
the note.
Fuller said the governor had told
him this in the executive mansion in
Albany July 80 last, when he had
called there at Mr.. Suffers request
after receiving a subpoena to appear
before the Frawley investigating CON-
mittee.
Mr. Fuller, you know that these Sc.
curities were Mrs. Suffers, don't you?"

negative.

Gives His Reply to Sulzer.
Il said to Governor Sulzer, That
may be all true. There is no evidence
or anything of that kind on my books
and cannot be proven by me. If it's
true you'll have no trouble in proving
it, az the books of the Carnegie Trust
company must be a matter of record .
The governors account with Harris,
& Fuller which the impeachment
managers charge is marginal or
speculative account, not loan ac-
count, was opened in 1910, according
to the books of the firm which Fuller
presented. The Carnegie Trust com,
pany. it was recalled, was in financial
difficulties that year and subsequent.
Iy failed.

of the charges in the eighth article

current prices of securities listed on
