Glenn Axtell Gave Excuse to Get
Glasses; Then He Disappeared.

"a bird in the hand is worth two in
the bush," as the old saying goes, and
Glenn Axtell this morning demon
strated that man is not safely dis
posed of and in the control of the
government until he is actually aboard
the train and bound for the field of
his future labors. Yesterday morn
ing Axtell was taken before Judge
Temple in the municipal court and
ordered out of town for thirty days.
Taking advantage of the opportun-
ity to get men for the government
Federal Agent Cursey prevailed upon
Axtell to sign up for employment for
Uncle Sam and this morning in COM
pany with several others who were to
take up this work he was escorted to
the depot platform. Realization OF the
fact that he was actually to be put to
work apparently disconnected AXtell.
Making the excuse that he had for
gotten his glasses, he retraced his
steps to the police station and then
apparently hit out for the thigh tim
ber." AS soon as officers were no
tilted that he had taken "leg baiP'
they set out in search but no trace
of the missing Axtell could be found.

Only Six New Cases Reported
Health Department Today.
New cases of influenza in the G.

New cases of influenza in the city
showed an even greater decline to
day than yesterday, there being but Sly
new cases reported for quarantin,
this morning. 1t has been said thai
the disease exists in some places and
people have not reported them to the
board of health. This step should be
taken Immediately after patients are
affected.
At present there are twenty seven
cases at the detention hospital at
Bethany college and twelve cases at
other hospitals.
DR.. G. j. Holman stated this morn
ing that the cases for the most part
were light and few are taken seri-
ously i'll in the city. There was one
death yesterday. While it cannot be
said that the epidemic is checked and
there will probably be more cases,
nevertheless the decrease from TWEEN
ty cases Thursday to eight yester-
day and six today shows that the pre-
cautions enforced are having the de-
sired effect.
Free NEGOTIATIONS for influenza
and pneumonia are given at the branch
office of the state board Of health at
the Mankato Clinic. This morning
callers to receive their "shot in the
arm" were not as much in evidence
as yesterday when the treatment
seemed to have become quite the lat
est fad.
The following was issued today by
the health department:
"The prophylactic vaccine for in
fluenza and pneumonia is in charge
of the director of the branch labora-
tory of the state board of health, sec
ond floor of the National Citizens
bank building.
Anyone desiring to take the pro-
phylactic treatment may call between
the hours of 9 and IL a. m. and 2 to
5 D. m. and have the same admins
tered free of charge, provided that
they agree to take. the full treatment,
which consists of three NEGOTIATIONS.
1.-The vaccine is furnished free by
the Mayo Foundation and is admins
trated free of charge"

occasion of the acting September IL,

when he, acting as battalion runner,
in the advance against the enemy's
first line. carried various messages
between battalion and company posts
with utter disregard of his own per-
sonal safety during one of which mis-
sions of special danger for which he
had volunteered, he was killed, he has
been brought to his personal attention
and that he considers Private Wallraf's
performance of duty O1 this occasion
worthy of the highest commentator.
He regards his actions in the face of
the enemy, gallant, an example to his
comrades in arms and characteristic

Declaring that deficiency in e.

Declaring that efficiency in gov
eminent is matter in which the
voters of the United States are in
terested as never before" the Ma
tiOnal Civil Service Reform league has
sent letters to Representative Frank
lin F. Ellsworth and Frank Simon
the congressional candidates from
this district, asking them to state
their views on the question. The
league calls attention to the fact that
the government is constantly taking
on new functions, and that there
fore greatly improved efficiency, in
governmental administration is abso-
lutely essential if gross extravaganza
and waste is to be avoided.
practically all government ineffi-
cheney springs primarily from the
fact that the government has no
thoroughly sound employment sys-
tenn" the leagues letter declares.
Some thousands of minor employees
are hired under he civil service law,
but the higher positions are political
patronage"
The league urges the candidates
in discussing government operation
of public utilities to call attention to
the need of more efficient admins
tration before such functions are
further extended

George Norman Is Acting On Com
mittee For That Purpose,

George Norman is at Colorado
Springs, Colo, this week, where he is
acting as one of the committee OF
three to buy some property for the
Woman lodge, says The Lake Crystal
Union. The lodge will either buy an
improved property or buy a site and
build thereon. The purpose is to make
a home for old or dependent people,
members of their lodge or their famil-
les. 1t is the expectation that when the
home is ready for occupancy all the
aged and dependent members OF
families whom the lodge is supporting
now at various county or private
homes, will be placed in this home at
Colorado Springs. The home will also
be for the tuberculosis sufferers. A
committee previously appointed sifted
the recommendations down to three
proposed sites, and the committee
there this week are to make a selec-
ton out of the three. AS assessment
of 81 per member will pay for the
home; just how this assessment shall
be raised will be left to the different
lodges to determine for themselves
some will pay it out of the lodge funds
on hand, others raise the full or part
amount by direct assessment. Mr..

Jackson County Men Who Had Re-
fused to Buy Liberty Bonds.

Jackson County Men Who Had Re-
fused to Buy Liberty Bonds.
Robert, George and Ed Grantz,
hree brothers, all of them well to-
10 Jackson county farmers were yes
erday, taught a most effective and
,asting lesson in patriotism by Judge
Dean in the Jackson county district
court, says The Fairmont Independ-
ent.
The three brothers all we'll off
financially refused to buy any liberty
bonds during the recent drive.
The first of the week the Jackson
county war board headed by Attorney
Nicholas Of Jackson and w. H..
Tarmuth of Heron Lake appeared be-
fore Judge Dean and secured sum-
mons requiring the three brothers
70 appear before Jackson county war
board.
The three ignored the summons
and failed to appear at the required
time.
Thursday afternoon Judge Dean or
dered their arrest for contempt of
court and they were brought to Jack
son and lodged in the Jackson county
Jail.
Judge Dean went to Jackson yes
terday and had them brought before
him.
Their bravado had disappeared and
they were all ready and willing to
buy bonds. They had not appeared
before the War Board because they
were busy threshing.
Judge Deans, at the conclusion OF
scathing rebuke in which their un-
patriotic conduct was most severely
censured, informed them that buying
bonds now would not save them from
punishment for contempt of court,
said he would take ten minute secess
to consider the matter further before
pronouncing sentence.
Members of the war board being
present in court, the three brothers
sought them during the recess and
took their allotment of bonds.
They were then brought up for
sentence for contempt of court. The
two older brothers were fined $5o
each. which is to be turned over to
the Red Cross.
The younger brother, who is a
single man, but had claimed eXemp-
ton from draft was given a straight
90 days Jail sentence.
Sentence was suspended until next
term of court to give him opportunity
to withdraw exemption claim.
