DOCTOR SAYS RUSS
WANT NEITHER KING
NOR BOLSHEVIKS

Describing conditions in Petrograd
as told him by a German doctor, the
correspondent at Kiev of the weser
Zeitung says the Russian middle
classes do not want a monarchy.
What they want is to retain certain
things won by the revolution. Neither
do they want Bolshevism.
Germans. the correspondent says,
he wa told by the doctor, were high
ly disliked, though more German is
heard on the Nevski' prospect than
was ever heard in peace time. Petro-
grad. adds the correspondent, is a
picture of chaos in which only one
featdre stands out clearly; namely
antipathy to Germany.

Suddenly Disappeared.

Daniel Sullivan, prominent farm
er living four miles from Belle
PLANE, has been missing from home
since Friday night of last week, A
thorough search has been made by the
neighbors but they failed to dis
cover his whereabouts. Mr.. Sullivan
had gone to Minneapolis Thursday
morning He returned Friday night
on the late train and was last seen at
the depot. Mr.. Sullivan wore a black
suit and black overcoat. He is
fifty four years old. His lower teeth
are gold crowned. When he left
home Thursday morning he had 5000
in currency on his person. He has
a wife and ten children. He was in
easy circumstances and his home
relations were pleasant so the most
generally accepted solution is that
he was waylaid and robbed. A Min
neapolis detective has been working
on the case.

iWinfred ReyeI Pleaded Guilty to the
Crime of Larceny.

:, Sheriff Freer, County Attorney
Frundt and Clerk of Court Flynn of
tFaribault county were here today to
appear before Judge Dean in case
of larceny committed at Wells, says
The Fairmont Independent. Winfred
Reyel, who had been arrested for the
crime, desired to plead guilty and the
court sentenced him to an indeter-
inmate term in the state penitentiary.
Reyel was charged with having
broken into the freight depot at
Wells and stolen $25 worth of oleo-
margarine, which he admitted. There
was also proof that he had taken
other property from the freight depot.
Last spring Judge Dean fined him
500 for stealing some gasoline. He
has a very bad reputation and the
Officers of the adjoining county have
reason to suspect that Reyel in
addition to being very long fingered
is fence for the gang of auto
thieves operating in and near the
twin cities.

Increased Number of "Flu" Cases Is
Cause of Action.

st. Peter, November Heath
Officer Merritt yesterday put the ban
which had been lifted a week ago,
back on the theatre, pool halls,
churches and all social and public
gatherings, and the lid is down tight
er than ever. If necessary drastic
measures will be resorted to to en-
force the ban to the letter.
All public funerals are forbidden
regardless of the cause of death.
Dr. Merritt notified the saloons
that if they do not want to be CLASH
fed as public meeting places, they
must not permit crowds to congre-
gate in their places of business.
The decision as to whether the
schools will be closed was deferred
until Monday unless the situation
should become more serious, in which
case the ban will be placed on them
at once.
DIR. Merritt's action was promoted
by the report of increasing numbers
of new cases in the city, and the
alarming conditions at some nearby
places

Meetings Are Proposed Fer
Discussion of Improved
Highways

In new road maps that the Rand
McNally company intends to get out
next spring, Mankato will be the hub
of wheel with eight spokes. These
maps will cover distance of more than
$50 miles in each direction from this
city, and will show all official trails,
their markings, population of the
cities and towns, leading hotel and
garage, etc. 1t is expected that 5000
of these maps will be placed in
Mankato, and at least 100000 in the
territory.
The latter part of this month, two
meetings are proposed to be held in
this city, one to organize the Ham
mond Highway and the other to or
ganize the John A. Johnson Highway.
The Hammond Highway will run
from Worthington to Redwing, via
Mankato, Faribault and Mortified.
The Johnson Highway will run from
Albert Lea, following the M. w. A.
trail, through Mankato, ST. Peter
Gaylord, Litchfield, and Paynesville
to Sank Center At the latter place
it will connect with the Scenic High
way and the Jefferson Highway
This will give tourists from
the southeast the most direct route
to the lake and scenic region of Gen.
trail and northern Minnesota,
Meeting Will Be Called.
When the present epidemic is over
and meetings can again be held, the
| Commercial and Automobile clubs
will send out invitations to all the
towns along these two proposed
routes, inviting them to send dele
gates to meetings to be held in this
city for the purpose of forming high
way organizations, to get back of the
improvement and marking of the
trails. Then the trails and their
markings will be registered, and the
state highway commission will put
them on it's future road maps as
official trails. None other than Of
fetal trails will be recognized by
either the state highway commission
or Rand McNally company. The
Black and Yellow and Daniel Boone
trails are to be registered. The
Daniel Boone trail association will
soon be reorganized.
