CHANGE PLEA TO GUILTY
DR.. w. w. EBERHART PAYS
$50 FOR ASSAULT
Attorneys Delivered Addresses Be.
fore Judge Golf Hiram
This Morning.

Action against DR.. W. w. Eberhart
In the municipal court on the charge
of assault in the third degree, as
preferred by Judge Evan Hughes, re-
suited this forenoon in the defendant
being fined $50. This was after the
defendant had changed his plea of
not guilty to one of guilty. J. w.
Schmitt, attorney for the defendant,
in entering a plea Of guilty for his
client, stated that this was done to
end all controversy. He admitted
that the defendant had possibly ex-
ceeded his limitations, but that he
had fought in self defense. The at
torney for the defense said that it
his decision in the writ of habeas
CORPUS proceedings recently dealt
with in the probate court, but was
the outgrowth OF differences between
neighbors in regard to trespass of
cows on the defendants property.
County Attorney Talks.
County Attorney c. T. Phillips on
behalf of the state. took the opposite
position to the defense, and stated
that DR.. Eberhart had attacked the
complaining witness and had beaten
him.
At this point in the hearing J. w.
Schmitt. attorney for the defense,
brought up the matter of the habaes
corpus proceedings, and said that
they took away the possession of the
boy from Mr.. Eberhart, and that he
was very fond Of his son. The at
torney for the defense inferred that
those proceedings should have besn
disposed Of before the district court,
and not before Court Commissioner
Hughes, but he. wished to be under
stood that this was not an attack on
the decision Of the court, but had
been the outcome Of differences be-
eighfors. The attorney for
the defense thought that there was
considerable unseemly haste in the
hahaes corpus proceedings, in view
OF the fact that the Judge of the dis
trict court was in the building at the
time Of the proceedings.
Lauriseh Talks Up.
Attorney G. ]. Laurisch, who had
appeared in the divorce proceedings
brought some time ago by Mrs. Eb-
erhart, objected to some of the state
ments made by the attorney for the
defense, and said that a full and op-
en- procedure had teen carried out in
the habaes corpus proceedings.
The outcome Of the ! proceedings
was that Judge Golf fined the defen-
dant, Eberhart $50 and made him
promise that he would refrain from
molesting Judge Hughes in the fu-
ture. The defendant gave his pro-
mise. ~

, NEWSPAPER ADVERTiS-
ING MOST EFFECTIVE.

Daily newspaper space is
the least expensive adNertis-
ing medium, according to the
findings of a committee of the
Cleveland chamber of COM
merce, which has just con-
cluded a thorough investigation
of advertising costs for the
benefit of it's members. The
committee analysed. six classes
of periodical publications,
ranging from trade magazines,
Of exclusive circulation, to
daily newspapers. All esti-
mates were based on per COL
umn inch and a circulation
standard of 1000 subscribers.
Not only was 1t found that
newspaper advertising was
cheapest, but 1t was clearly
proven to be the most effee-
tive. This report only proves
what experienced advertisers
have long known, but coming
from an unbiased source il is
most encouraging to the SELL
ers Of newspaper advertising
who are striving to give their
buyers a dollars worth of pub
llcity, or more, for every dol
lar spent.

GAZING ON MANKATOS BEAUTY

Again has our old friend "Dutz"
taken his pen in hand and written
enthusiastically of the beauties of
Mankato and it's surroundings.
"Dutz" is a lover of nature and the
pretty things which go to make this
life worth while. Here is his latest
communication:
spots in and around our city to view
the beautiful scenery so lavishly be-
slowed in our immediate neighbor-
hood Is Prospects Heights-right
back of the normal dormitory. The
climb to the summit of this hill is
somewhat strenuous especially so on
a hot day or evening. but once you
have reached your objective point,
your efforts will re well repaid.
Scenery, scenery everywhere.
Looking over the valley which
stretches out before you for miles
up and down ones eyes follow the
old Minnesota as it winds its way
through steep rocky cliffs hundreds
of feet high, green meadows, fertile
fields, and sturdy green forests to
the thriving little city of st. Peter
This city about twelve miles from
the Southern Minnesota metropolis
can easily be seen on a clear day
and at night it's lights twinkle
through the tree tops and along the
border of the hills under which the
city nestles. At the point where the
Blue Earth and Minnesota rivers
come together, near Sibley park, a
wild and rugged bit of scenery
pleases the sightseer, and in the
foreground with its well kept and
substantial buildings, its wide green
carpet dotted with many varieties Of
flowers, its fountains shooting sprays
of water skyward, its pleasant drives
, through groves Of stately elms and
oaks, its magnificent zoo, is Sibley
Park-Mankato's favcrite playground.
Tourists will find this an ideal
camping ground.
Turn whatever way you please,
and the panorama is delightful. Right
at your feet, or over the crown of
the hill, is Silver Ravine with deep
precipitous walls to which clings
the birch Tee with its long white
trunks and silvery leaves. Honey
suckles, violets, and other wild flow
ers are found in abundance. Here
too is the home of the catbird, the
flicker, the robin. and the thrush,
while over stump and log the chip
hunks and squirrels frisk and play
throughout the day. Be sure to take
your kodak with you as some beau
tiful pictures can be taken from this
point"
God-made scenery is the most
beautiful to look upon. There is a
great deal of that kind of scenery in
this neighborhood. 1t can be found
in great abundance. 1t costs moth
ing to look upon it. The Divine Rul-
er certainly was lavish with his gifts
to the people of Southern Minnesota.
Here we have the best of climate,
beauty Of scenery, fertility of soil,
and water that is nectar for the
gods.

Sen. Warren G. Harding.

Sen. Warren G. Hardings early pas
sion for the cornet blasted a promising
career at law.
While studying law in Marion, Ohio,
he joined the village cornet band.
The band was naturally a popular in
stitution and it performed at all cere-
monies and picnics. Young Harding
found it took considera bic money to
attend these functions. Unable to
earn enough at his vocation, he aban-
dOned it rather than give up the in
strument and the esthetic and cor
poreal pleasures il gave him.
1t is also chronicled that Harding

Iberia college. in the same county.
Three years later he took fllng at
the newspaper business by purchasing
the Marion Star. He married Miss
Florence King of Marion in 1891 and
in 1899 was elected state senator. He
was reelected in 1901 and at the close
