CUSSED THE POLICEMAN
Man From Pierre, S. D., Did Not Like
Treatment in Mankato

Rev. J. e. Kelly, of Pierre, S. D.,
who paid fine of $53 .65 in the Man
kato police court yesterday morning,
having pleaded guilty to the charge
of disorderly conduct, was again in
trouble late yesterday His first esca-
pade was hardly settled before he
went after the ways of John Barrier
corn again. A friend of his took him
into his own room at hotel but it
was not long before he is reported to
have frightened one of the chamber
maids there. There was quite rum
pus and after time he was again
at the police station. He used some
pretty harsh cuss words. Friends at
length took care of him. and the re-
suit was that he was finally gotten
aboard train early this morning,
and whisked out from Mankato.
When he appeared before Judge
Johnson to answer for his first caper,
his attempt to pull a woman into a
room with him in a local rooming
house, he remarked: "This is high
way robbery" The judge exclaimed,
"What?", and the reverend gentle
man said be had reference to one of
the police officers.
Kelly told Chief of Police Ario that
he lived in a dry territory.

Rome, August 14.-[By MALL
American women, please take notice!
Neither Queen Elena nor the
Queen Mother Marguerite has had
new dress or new hat since Italy
entered the war. The same rigid sa-
torial economy extends to the royal
children. The simple Boy Scout uni

old Prince Umberto's Sunday o-to-

frocks, generally in cheap plalds OF
white stuffs and even bingham, are
the wartime clothes of Prince Yolan-

The kings "dress suit" as the
world knows is a grey green uni
form. Rome and his family see MN
but seldom and then only when offi-
cial business calls him to the capltai.

approached by representatives of the

and proposed to have a prize fight
of that kind in this city. The club
proposed to give ten per cent Of the

said he would take the matter under
consideration, as he wished to talk
the matter over with other people de-
Gliding what position he would take.
He has been discussing it with quite
a number of people, and as far as he
can make out, the people stand about
fifty fifty" one element being anxi-
Gus to have it and another thinking
it ought not to come.
Afraid of UndesirabIes.
Today the mayor decided against
having the prize fight in this city. He
is of the belief that it would bring

in an orderly way as could be done
in st. Paul, with its force of $50

no sign that the loyal German citi-

Wednesday afternoon that William

izen of Nunda township has offered
the boys of Battery A his fine stall
lion "You can do as you like with
the animal, Captain Subby," said Mr.
Yost. "You can take him with you
to the western front or you can sell
him and use the money for the boys
comfort while they are helping to
win the war for America" Mr.. Sub
by says that the stallion is a fine
animal. Just few days ago Mr..
Yost refused $3.50 spot cash for the
horse" said Mr.. Subby. I'VE may
sell the animal and put the proceeds
in the company's mess fund.-
It's just such patriotic moves as
the one displayed by Mr.. Yost that

earlier date, which means a saving

In New UIm.
The Minneapolis Journal of last
evening published this story:
albert Steinhauser, editor of The
New Ulm Review and leader in the
recent antidraft meeting, failed to raise
an American flag over his building for
the loyalty demonstration there yes
terday.
Every business man and citizen in
the city was requested to decorate all
buildings and residences with the col
ors. Only two refused. One was a
merchant whose place the police
threatened to close if he continued
obstinate. He put up a flag.
''Steinhauser, who was one of the
speakers at the antidraft meeting
July 25, refused to raise a flag. His
building was the only one downtown
that did not fly the colors.
1t is rather difficult to believe that
the once gallant soldier, Captain
Steinhauser, refused to fly the Stars
and Stripes.
