} t } _— COLDBATHFOR SPY MINNESOTA MAN IS ROUGHLY HANDLED BY WISCONSIN FOOTBALLISTS. WAS CAUGHT SPYING ON TEAM WISCONSIN STUDENTS ARE_ IN- DIGNANT OVER’ THE MATTER. ORDERED OUT ON FIRST TRAIN FOOTBALL TEAM FIRST DUCKS MINNESOTA MAN IN THE LAKE. Wis., Nov. 12. — A. W. Robertson, the fast quarter-miler of the Minnesota track team and sub half-back on the Gopher football team last year, was caught spying on the Wisconsin football squad last night, and, after being thrown into the cold waters of Lake Mendota, was ordered to get out of town on the first train. The Wisconsin team itself threw the spy into the lake, and the deepest in- dignation prevails among both team and student body at the unsportsman- like action of Minnesota in sending him here, if he was sent. This rep- rehensible action has intensified the determination of Wisconsin to win next Saturday’s game. When the football men went out to} the golf links west of Camp Randall for secret practice last night Coach King put a squad of fifteen students on guard. There has been a general | feeling among football men that Min- nesota spies have been watching them | the past few days. Sunday it was learned that a stranger had rented a room overlooking Camp Randall for two weeks, and it is believed that he was one of the Minnesota Spies. He cannot be located, and it is be- lieved he has been scared out of town.‘ David Annis, one of the student guards last night, discovered Robertson on a street car running by the golf grounds. Annis at once thought that Robertson might be a spy and he questioned him elesely. Robertson replied that he was a stranger inthe city and was going out to the cemetery. When he got near the golf grounds Robertson left the car and Annis followed him. Before they proceeded far they ran aci Milo Muckelston, another stu- dent guard, and the latter recognized Robertson as a member of the Minne- ‘ota track team with whom he had?’ contested last spring. Robertson was taken before Coach King and finally admitted his identity. He was sent to the city under a guard and after dinner the team took him to the lake and gave him a cold ducking and ordered him out of the city. Rob- ertson humbly promised to get out on the first train. Madison, ONE HUNDRED YEARS OLD. ee A South Dakota Woman Celebrates a Century’s Existence. Mitchell, S. D., Nov. 12—Mrs. James Colvin of this city was 100 years old yesterday. She celebrated the centen- nial by having her picture taken, go- ing herself to the gallery, and by a quict little dinner at the home of her son, John Colvin. Physically she is still quite rugged, being able to dress herself, walk about the house and yard. She reads considerably, but be- ing of old Covenanter stock, choses ‘ her Bible for literary companionship rather than modern writings. Her memory is poor and it is not unusual for her to ask the whereabouts of her husband, who died about two years ago. CARELESS WITH FIREARMS. One Boy Killed and Three Others Se- verely Wounded. Ottumwa, Iowa, Nov. 12. — Frank Perkins, 17 years old, is dead; Asa Noe, 20, is minus a hand; Oliver Roth- ergill has a bullet in his thigh and Frank Oejka may die as the-result of a careless examination of shotguns by the four youths. The boys were com- paring guns preparatory to going hunting. Perkins’ weapon was dis- eharged in his face and during the ex- eitement that followed the other hunt- ers were wounded by a general dis: charge of their fowling pieces. TRAIN BROKE IN TWO. Several Injured in Collision on the Chicago & Northwestern. Baraboo, Wis., Nov. 12.—As accom- modation train No. 89 on the North- western road was going down a steep grade from Devils Lake last night, it broke in two and the rear end crashed into the head end, throwing the passengers about — the caboose. All were more or less hurt. Charles Dyke, assistant cashier of the Bank of Baraboo, received a scalp wound and was injured internally. He was car- ried home unconscious. Conductor Michael Sharren and Brakeman Tuck -er were also hurt. KILLED A DEER. Standing Train Runs Over Animal Dazed on the Track. Bemidji, Minn., Noy. 12.—The north- ‘bound ssenger train on the Minne gota and International run over and killed a deer between here and Black Duck. The buck was standing on the track apparently dazed by the glow of ‘the headlight and made no effort tc get away. The train was brought to a stop and the head and antlers saved FOUND DEAD IN DULUTH. Mysterious Murder or Unaccountable Suicide. Duluth, Nov. 11—The many friends and acquaintances of Edward Ma- honey of Duluth were astonished to hear yesterday that his dead body had been found at 11 a. m. on the lake shore, a Short distance south of the city hall. Mr. Mahoney’s death is surrounded by mystery. He is be- lieved to have been murdered, but there are indications of suicide. It certainly was not murder for purposes of robbery, but there was mo known cause for suicide. The police and coroner are conducting a rigid ex- amination. Mr. Mahoney had been for years trainer of the Duluth Boat club crews, and at the time of his death was deputy sheriff and jailer at the county jail. He was a brother of D. J. Mahoney, a teller in the American Exchange bank. Mr. Mahoney was in perfect health, happily married and well-to-do. No marks were found upon the body pointing to violence. The action of the water had rubbed the skin from the face, and that is the only mark. His watch and money were.in his-pockets. The watch stood at 11:08 and the tragedy must have happened at that hour Saturday: night. KILLED A CHICKEN THIEF. Henry Bailey, a Suburbanite, Kills a Robber by a Chance Shot. St. Paul, Nov. 11—Henry Green, a Minneapolis peddler, was shot and in- stantly killed at 4:30 o’clock Saturday morning on the farm of Levi Bailey near Langdon, twelve miles southeast of St. Paul. The shot was fired from a shotgun by Henry Bailey, son of Levi Bailey, who says he caught the peddler in the act of robbing the hen- roost. The charge of heavy shot plowed through the man’s clothing, en- tering the middle of the back and tear- ing away the flesh. It was not known at the time that the man was hit, and the body was not discovered until two hours later, when gaylight came. The shooting of Green is the culmination of a long series of chicken thief “scares” that have kept the people in the neighborhood of Langdon in a constant state of excitement. BIG PARTY HUNTING FOR EGAN. Reward Attracts More Men Into the District. Kalispell, Mont., Nov. 11. — There have been no developments in the Egan search, notwithstanding a re- ward of $1,000 has attracted more men into the district. Another party left Columbia for Hungry Horse yes- terday afternoon. It is now impossible to get through the country except on snow shoes, and parties who have gone through to the South Fork have been forced to use them. The return of two parties now out is anxiously awaited. One went up to the cabin on Pyramid peak and another into the South Fork country. It will be at least three days before they can make their report. Dr. Houston spent part of the day here, returning to Belton last night. He has given up all hope of seeing Egan alive. MINISTER IN HOT WATER. Man of the Cloth Accused of Seduction of Two Girls. Sioux City, Iowa, Nov. 11. — The grand jury at Onawa has found two indictments against Rev. C. B. Me- Kay, the Mapleton, Iowa, Methodist minister, who has been in jail at Ona- ‘wa for two weeks charged with as- sault and seduction. McKay is in- dicted for assault upon Ida Kraft, fourteen years of age, and for seduc- ing Clara Kraft, aged sixteen years, her sister. Both belonged to his church. He was forced to marry the younger one when her condition was discovered. The feeling is very high against him in the county. He was returned to jail in default of $1,000 bonds to await his trial. GOPHERS DOWN ILLINOIS TEAM. Minnesota Wins Hard Game From Champaign Eleven—Score, 17 to 5. Minneapolis, Nov. 11. — Minnesota won a hard fought victory from Illi- nois on Northrop field Saturday by a score of 17 to 5. From start to finish both teams played fast ball with little fumbling. The Gophers excelled in team play. Capt. Stahl played a won- derful gamé for the visitors. Pitts also covered himself with glory by his fast end runs. Cook’s drop kick from the forty-yard line was the prettiest goal of the season and saved the vis- itors from a shut-out. The line plunges of the heavy Gophers’ backs did much toward winning the game. IN DEFENSE OF HIS MOTHER. Young , Man Shoots and Fatally Wounds His Father. Marne, Iowa, Noy. 11.—In a family sow here last night L. T. Giles was shot and fatally wounded by his son. Giles and his wife were divorced a number of years ago, but were recent- ly remarried, and last night trouble broke out anew. Giles attacked his wife and the son came to her rescue and shot the father twice. County School of Farming. Menomonie, Wis., Nov. 11—The new Dunn county agricultural college build- ing, costing $20,000, was formally ac- cepted by the board of control Satur- day.

Sportsman Sues the Game and Fish Commission. eg “Charles Thompson of St. Paul has brought suit against the state game and fish commission for $950 alleged damages for the seizure ani confisca- tion of 175 ducks last week. The birds, it is alleged, were shot in North Dakota, and were shipped to St. Paul without being marked as required by Lacey law, which governs the in- terstate shipment of game. The birds were conftscated by the Minnesota and fish commission. North Da- kota prohibits the shipment of game out of the state. The Minnesota law also prohibith the shipment of game untess the owner accompanies it, and the game wardens claim that the laws of both states were violated. Execu- tive’ Agent Fullerton was yesterday served with papers in a suit instituted SHUT OUT THE CURIOUS. Unfavorably Affect State Institution Inmates, Says Dr. Welch. In one of two papers read before a meeting of the superintendents of state institutions at the office of the board of control in St. Paul, Dr. Welch of the Fergus Falls hospital for the insane, discussed “Visited and Visitors at State Institutions.” He said that inmates of institutes are unfavorably affected by visitors that are simply curious. Such: visits should be pro- hibited. és “Popular Misconceptions: Concerning: the Scope and Purpose and. Work of State Institutions” was the theme: of Supt. Randall of the state reformatory. Mr. Randall's: attitude was in agreea- ble contrast with that of the many public officers: who regard their offi- cial conduct as privileged against pub- lic scrutiny.. State institutions, said Mr. Randall, are influenced by the pop- ular understanding of them. Such in- fluence may be easily unfavorable: if. the institutions: are misunderstood.. Hence the public cannot be kept too! fully informed. as to the actual nature’! and work of the institutions: The newspapers should be encouraged to afford the public more light than. it now possesses. Clergymen should. vis- it not only the prisons, but the hospi- tals and similar institutions. Inquiries by women’s clubs: should be more fre- quent. Thus the public, being better informed, would be no longer, swayed’ by misconceptions and would believe less in the existence of various: insti- tutional “horrors.” STATE FARM YIELD) An Object Lesson for Farmers of the West. The fall work on the insane hospital! farm at Fergus Falls is finistied and the figures relative to the crops that have been stored away are decidedly interesting. The farm is the largest. in the county, and as the farming is carried on on scientific principles, it. is becoming quite an object lesson to the country around. Perhaps the most profitable crop raised this year was onions. Farmer McFadden ‘sowed one and two-thirds acres and harvested a erop of 900 bushels; worth $700, or. about $400 per acre. The wheat. crop was not particularly heavy, but the average was a trifle over 25 bushels: per acre. A total of 110 acres of the farm was sowed to oats and the yield is 7,875 bushels, or 75 bushels per acre —and all good enough for seed. Twen- ty-four acres of barley yielded 1,305 bushels, or 51 bushels: per acre. The patato crop amounts to 7,500 bushels. There are 9,000 heads of cabbage stored away in the cellar, and sixty barrels of sauerkraut have been made. Four thousand heads of the finest cel- ery ever raised will furnish nerve food for the patients, and garden truck 6f all kinds has been raised in about the same proportion. Crops are ro- tated regularly on this farm and there has never yet been a crop failure. Practical Forestry in Minnesota. The Minnesota legislature of 1899 created a forestry board of nine mem- bers to serve without pay and to man- age any lands which the state may acquire by gift or purchase for for- estry purposes. The first’lands which the state has acquired under that law were 1,000 acres of cut-over pine in Cass county which were: donated by the late ex-Gov. John S: Pillsbury. In June last the board employed Mr. T. L. Duncan and four' assistants—ail of whom had received scientific forestry training at the Minnesota experiment station—to make a_ survey and ex- amination of the Pillsbury land;- and Mr. Duncan’s report on the land and temporary working plan for its refor- estation has just been issued as a bulletin of information: by: the forestry. board. Mr. Duncan thinks it would be ad: visable to plant over 75 per cent of 'the whole area rather than wait for nat- ural regeneration in pine: Competent judges estimate that in the course of fifteen years the original’ pine forests of Minnesota will have been cut. What immediate danger there would: result for the State of Minnesota. It takes: om an average about eighty years for pine to grow to merchantable size om poor sandy soil: Individuals will seldom engage in rais- ing crops where so much time is re- quired, and if the supply of cheap- timber is to be maintained the state will have to undertake the work of reforestation. People will naturally ask “Does: not the State of Minnesota already pos- sess considerable lund that it could. use for forestry purposes?” This must be answered in the nega- tive. All of the state’s land must be sold at not less tham $5 per acre: for the benefit of the: public school funda. If there is pine timber on any land be- longing to the state it must be: sold separately. It would not be economy to: use ag- ricultural land dand for growing pine forest. Pine will grow profitably on sandy, hilly or rocky land that is not useful for cultivation; and it would be practical forestry for the state to buy such land, which can be had at a@ nominal price, and the Volkszeitung recommends that the next legislature. shal? enable the forestry board to com- mence buying such tracts and plant them with eoniferous forest. Friends of forestry should try and have their members of the legislature seasonably pledged te support such a project. Forestry has been talked many years. It is time for action.—Translated from the St, Paut Volkszeitung. ; ELEVATOR BURNED Loss ef $4,000 to an Appleton Business by Mr. Thompson to recover $350, the | yalue of the birds, and $600 al- ee 4 A SURPRISED PHYSICIAN. A dying patient recovers througts the interposition of a humble German. ? Chicago, Nov. 15. Some weeks ago Dr. G——, a very reputable and widely-known physi- cian, living on C—— Street, was call- ed to attend a very complicated case of Rheumatism. Upon arriving at the house he found a man about forty years of age, lying in a prostrated and serious condition, with his whole frame dangerously affected with the painful disease. He prescribed for the pa- tient, but the man continued to grow worse, and on Sunday evening he was found to be in a very alarming condi- tion. The knees and elbows and larg- er joints were greatly inflamed, and could not be moved. It was only with extreme difficulty that the pa- tient could be turned in bed, with the aid of three or four persons. The weight of the clothing was so painful that means had to be adopted to keep it from the patient’s body. The doctor saw that his assistance would be of no avail, and left the heuse, the members of the family fol- lowing him to the door, weeping, Al- most immediately the grief stricken ones were addressed by an humble German. He had heard of the despair of the family, and now asked them to’ try his remedy, and accordingly brought forth a bottle of St. Jacobs: Oil. The poor wife applied this rem- edy. The first application eased the patient very much; after a few hours they used it again, and, wonder of wonders, the pain vanished entirely! Every subsequent application improv- ed the patient, and in two days he was well and out. When the doctor called a few days after, he was in- deed surprised. To Get Out of it Cheap. Mrs. Newcomb (on being asked to contribute a dollar,to help make up the deficit in the minister’s salary)— Really I can’t afford to give so much money; but I’ buy two chickens, a pound of coffée, a can of condensed milk, a bottle of olives, some cottage cheese, a sparerib and some cut flow- ers for the chureh supper, the proceeds of which are to be turned in.—Judge. A Question of Sex. A bright little Washington girl, four years old, who is a descendant of Go- bright, the veteran journalist of a dec- ade ago, shows a decided ability to think and decide for herself, quite up to the standard of her brainy ancest- or. She was repeating her prayers at bedtime recéntly, the Lord’s Prayer first, and, as is her habit, winding up with a petition for blessings on the various members of the family of both sexes. But this time, when she came to the conclusion, she hesitated a mo- ment, as a new idea struck her, and then, in a most devout tone, added: “Amen and a-women!,’ “Why, daughter, you must not say that! What did you say ‘A-women’ for?” asked her mother, in surprise. “Wei,” replied the young philoso- pher, “didn’t I pray for women as well as men?”’—Margaret Sullivan, in Lip- pincott’s. i Green County’s Sensation. Catskill, N. ¥., November 10th.—Ul- ster and Greene Counties are ringing with the news of the wonderful recov- ery of George F. Ayers, who lives at 16 Division street, in this city. One year ago Mr. Ayers was suffering from Bright’s Disease of the Kidneys, and the doctors gave him little relief and less hope. To-day Mr. Ayers is as well as man could wish. He tells the following story: “About a year. agoel was at West Camp, sick with Bright’s Disease and without hope of ever being better, when an old gentlemen from Bath, N. Y., advised me to take Dodd’s Kid- ney Pills, telling me they had cured him of the same disease. “T had tried so many remedies that I was past hoping and told him so, but when he bought me a_ box of Dodd’s Kidney Pills and coaxed,me to try them I did so just to humor his whim. | “That was the means of saving my life. 1 took that box and half a dozen more. Thanks to that old man and Dodd’s Kidney Pills, I am cured.” Mere Superstition. “He's just as superstitious as he can pe, D’Aubur is. You know he had two paintings for sale, and first he asked $650 apiece for them.” “Yes.” | “Well, you see, that would be $1,300 for both; so, when a man offered him $10 for both he took it, because it would have been unlucky to stick out. for. $1,300.”—Philadelphia Press.
