Il trust that the Garden City folks
who are planning for the comfort of
their guests during fair time will
borrow a few lanterns and hang them
on the depot, SO that persons from the
south who take the nine o'clock
south bound train for home, may at
least have a glimmer of light at
that place, as heretofore we have
all stood around the outside, as
the depot was not opened.
The only light obtainable in the
past has been that from the flicker
OF cigars until about five minutes
before train time, when the agent
appeared and lighted q small light,
which has an awfully dirty chimney,
and then heller, SHELTER for tickets.
We poor, long-neglected people on the
Omaha branch, have given up ever
getting anything from the officials
OF the road, and so let Garden City
people let their light shine forth for
four days next week.

Rapidan>Decoria

The Decoria Cemetery society vas
favored with a most beautiful day
last Thursday for their annual picnic.
The crowd was not nearly as large
as ii would of been had there been
no one threshing. Many were kept
away OF this account, yet there were
enough to have a most enjoyable
time. F. L. Otto OF MankatD, pro-
prietor of the grocery store where
good things to eat are found, ac-
companied by his wife and little
daughter were in the village the
other day. Mr.. Otto brought out
the groceries and supplies for the
society. The thirty foot table laden
with good things to eat and drink
goes to show that the ladies know
how to prepare a picnic dinner.
Judge and Mrs. COmstock were there
and the judge gave a very inter
esting talk. He fully explained the
war situation. The program by the
school children was very much enjoyed.
The ladies were much puzzled to find
ei o"SNAOAAVAA W uiSPODt va NllCll CD
which consisted of articles ranging
from a great kitchen apron TO a baby
bonnet. Finally our ex-school super
intendent, George Scherer, now pro-
prietor Of the Mankato Star laundry,
who happened to be in the crowd
at the time, accepted after much
CoaXing, and a promise of a dish of
ice cream. He made a fine auction
Ger and assured them If they bought
aprons and sem them to his laundry
they would not shrink. The bidding
was good and the society took in
over thirty-two dollars. This money
Is to be used for beautifying the
cemetery which needs donations for
in the past the burden of caring
for that place has rested on a
few faithful ones, who for several
years have been trying to beautify
the cemetery and make it as beauti-
full as ii ought to be. Tie wind
storm OF June 90 wrought much
damage in the cemetery, tearing
down the tool house and scattering
the same broad cast. During this
storm lightning struck one of
the monuments, tearing 1t from it's
foundation. Mr.. Matthews has been
hired to clean the cemetery. There
are many things which might be
done to improve the cemetery. every
year thousands OF people pass on the
Mankato Mapleton road and the COM
munity should have some pride in
keeping the cemetery up.

Gus accident last week. While 60

called to dress the arm and the
patient is doing nicely now.

that Johnson obtained a slight clew
10 the girl In Minneapolis.
Where did he get that clew?"
asked the newspaper man.
From A Woman.
From a woman" replied Tweit
slowly. The woman told Johnson
that Mamie was living in a Polish
settlement. we went to the house."
said Twcit. and meeting a boy on
the sidewalk. asked him II a girl
answering Mamie's description was
stopping there. The boy said yes.
hut when we entered the house the
woman we talked with said that no
:uch girl had or was there. / am
ut the belief that the woman was
lying remarked Tweit.
Well. we walked some, ! can tell
YOU that" declared the uncle of the
missing maiden.
Mr.. Tweit did not explain who the
woman was that gave Johnson his
clew To the supposed whereabouts OF
ruc missing girl, but Il is suspected
by some people here that the Penn
bertOn constable may possibly have
interviewed n seeress or clairVoyant.
This is frequently done by those who
desire to penetrate some deep and
dark mystery. At any rate, Con.
stable Johnson is still ON n hunt for
Mamie Shanahan.
Johnson Not on Train.
II was reported that the constable
was aboard the Milwaukee train
SouthbOund last night, and when the
rain stopped at the station here he
Jumped on on the opposite side and
remained there until the train pulled
out. There is no truth in the story.
There is no reason why Mr.. Johnson
should wish 10 keep out of sight.
Mr.. Tweit. after reaching Minnesota
lake, h]arnessed mp his team and
drove to his home in Medic. He did
not leave Minnesota Lake until after
midnight. He was alone when he
drove away from the livery barn.
Is Still a Mystery.
To the Blue Earth county author
tiles the Mamie Shanahan case is as
much of a mystery as ever. They will
continue to search for the girl. II
Is expected that Sheriff Osten will
OOn have cards issued containing
a picture of the young lady and her
description. together with an ofer of
a reward of 5000 from Mr.. Tweit for
the discovery OF her whereabouts.
Once the fact that the girl is alive
IS established beyond any question.
the Blue Earth county authorities
will nc longer concern themselves
over the matter.
It is said that Johnson and Tweit
visited the McNulty Detective agency
yesterday morning, and Johnson
promised to return IL nothing devel.
Oped. He did not show up there
again. II was his intention TO en-
gag the agency TO search for the
girl, in case he could not find her.
He informed the McNulty agency
that he would be at the Nicollet
house, in case he should be wanted.
Inquiry at the hotel did not locate
Johnson. The Pemberton man has
not been In communication with
Sheriff Osten or County Attorney
Schmitt.
Mr.. Tweit stated today that he had
received no word from Mamie. 1t
will be recalled that when johnson
returned from his trip To Mime
apolis last Saturday night he claimed
to have met and talked with Miss
Shanahan on the street in that city.
and that she had promised to write
her uncle in a day or two" II il
was the missing girl he conversed
with. she has failed to live up to her
promise.

Winona, Mimi, August 27.-An i'm
portant change in the entrance re-
quirements for the states normal
schools. announced by the normal
board last spring, becomes effective
with the opening of the term on
Tuesday. While heretofore students
have been admitted TO the normal
schools upon the completion of the
eighth grade work, the requirement
now becomes the completion of two
years of high school work or the
holding of a teachers first grade GER
~tificate. Persons meeting either of
these requirements will be admitted
to the third-year class, and upon
completing two years Of work will
be graduated with the elementary
diploma. ....rr .r5
Two additional years will then be
required for the advanced or life
diploma of the school. This step
became necessary Oh account of the
largely increased number OF high
school graduates who had enrolled
in the schools during the past two
years, and the prospect of a still
larger enrolment due to the new
standards adopted by the high schooi
board for the schools under it's own
direction and by n recent law gov
erning certifcation of teachers in
general.
As a result of this law the state
superintendent oun that from
and after August l, 1915, every
holder OF a Minnesota first grade
certificate must either have taught
for eighteen months or have COM
pleted one year OF professional work
either in a high school training de-
partment, normal school, or other
school for the special preparation of
teachers. The ruling OF the high
school board limits all teachers in
both high and graded schools after
September /, 1915, to those who
have completed the advanced course
of a state normal school or to those
who are already employed in such
positions.
