ports received from yard switchmen
OF the Omaha, was told this morning
at the police station by Tony
Schmidt, a young man whose home
and relatives are i'm Mankato, but
who runs a shoe-repairing shop at
Worthington.
Schmidt had been visiting his rela-
tives In the city, and last night went
to the Omaha, depot for the purpose
OF going back TO Worthington. He
says he was down at the depot In
time to take the 1890 train, but
did not care to leave at once for
that city, as he knew there were two
more trains around midnight, and
he thought he would stay as long
I'm Mankato as he could. He said
he met another young fellow and
the two made friends. They were
walking along the right-of-way not
far from the edge OF the bank, when
this new "friend" assaulted him
knocked him down and choked him.
He said that after he came to, he
found that his money, amounting
between three and four dollars, was
gone. He said the assault took place
near the end of the depot platform.
A different story came from the
railroad men. c. II. Cooper, the To-
cal freight agent of the Omaha, was
called up between ten, and eleven
o'clock last evening and was told
that a man had been found, dazed
and helpless, I'm the Omaha railroad
yards by some switchmen, not far
from the a" street crossing of the
Omaha. II was believed that he had
fallen from the train that leaves the
depot at 10:30, No. /, a passenger.
A message was sent to the police
and Patrolmen Bienapf and Albrecht
went over to the yards and took
the man to the police station. He
did not tell any story of a hold-up
when brought to the station, accord
ing to the written report received
by Chief of Police Klugherz this
morning from the night force. Chief
Klugherz noticed that the young man
wore a good suit and had a pair OF
oyeralls over IT, He found that
the man had bought no ticket for his
return to Worthington. He discred-
tied the whole hold-up story, and took
the view that this man had spent
a great deal of his money for IL
quor, and had determined to econo-
mize by beating his way to Worth
ington, that he had boarded the
train. when il pulled out from the de-
pot, but was unable to stick to II.
falling OFF after he had ridden
as far as "A" street. Schmidt
denied that he boarded that train
at all. He denied that he was drunk,
though a half pint bottle of liquor
was found on him.
Schmidt was scratched about the
chin. but was not seriously hurt. He
was attended last evening by DR..
J.. w, Andrews.

j. Il. Chase of the faculty address.
ed the school this morning on the
subject of bookkeeping and expert
accounting. Mr.. Chase's talk proved
of exceptional merit inasmuch as he
clearly defined the training of an &C.
countant and salary one might ex-
pect to draw with such a position
II was said that I'm this day of fierce
competition "a penny saved was a
penny earned" and business firms
and corporations and even the gov
eminent were finding II necessary
to keep accurate accounts of the
transactions of their business that
they might determine the sources
of loss or profit. For these reasons
business must have accountants,
people especially trained in this
work and along with the training
certain personal characteristics
should be observed.
In regard TO the salaries of book
keepers Mr.. Chase gave ten, fifteen
or even twenty dollars week, as
the average and anything over that
an exception. II was stated that in
bookkeeping alone there was little
opportunity for advancement beyond
certain limit and always danger of
not being able to hold the position
in competition with younger man.
But in the case of Certified Public
Accountants. the situation was diff
terent. A c. p. A. may command a
salary of $4,000 year or over and
the chances for employment and ad.
vancement are unusual.
In closing his vocational talk Mr..
Chase stated that in public account.
ing lay a vast opportunity for many
young men and women seeking a
life's vocation.

To You, MIR. Stock Owner

Would you own a horse and let
him suffer and be satisned ? Why
the horse needs a dentist as well
as the human being does. If you
have his teeth kept up it will
save other trouble on the horse.
When this is done the animal
will eat better and give you bet
ter service. Do you know that
you give away better stock than
what you buy every year because
you don't call a veterinary sur
geon and ask his opinion about it.
AS long as you do SO it will keep
you buying stock. Our business
is to take care Of the stock and
his owner. The white people
have us to work the same ones
over again and then they sell
them right back to you for the
same price you first paid. Why
cant you do the same thing and
save the price Of another horse or
mule? We are called all over
this county to do SO for the white
people and you are paying for it.
1t is time to wake up and get
busy. We will do the same thing
for you. Yours truly.

RACE RELATIONS DISCUSSED
At MEMPHIS.

From (Benedict) College Journa
Memphis, Tenn, May 7. The
CO. operation Of the races for the
purpose Of bettering conditions
in the South, as discussed by
Bishop Theodore ID. Bratton. Of
Jackson. Miss. and Booker T.
Washington. attracted large
crowds at the afternoon ses sion
Of the Southern Sociological con-
gress here to-day,
Bishop Bratton pointed out the
necessity Of race cooperation in
church work as a contributory
factor in laying the foundation
for the solution of the race prob
lem.
The first point Of cooperation
for the two races. in this he
said, is the example of solid
religious faith and justice; the
second is the points of contact in
their churches and schools and
sharing with them the benefits
of our great public school system.
But above all is to live the Cos
pei

tremists Of both races.

Bratton, former Gov. Mann. who
occupied a seat on the platform

Negro of Virginia, to lead the
colored portion Of the audience
in singing Climb. Climb Up
Higher, and Down Oh the

of applause.
Booker Washington discussing
race cooperation in securing law
and order, pointed to the socio-
logical congress as the best
means of bringing the two races
to better understanding Of each
other. as we'll as the needs and
aspirations of the Negro. His
subject was "How can the Ne
gro in the South do his part in
using this Congress to bring a
bout better conditions.' He
said:

to spread an influence among our
people for the prevention OF
