The plan Of organizing town socie.
ties, which shall have for their object
the improvement and adornment of the
places in which they are formed, is a
movement which deserves to be en-.
couraged. The proverb, what is every
body's business is nobody's business, is
strikingly applicable to a great many
classes of public work; but town
society formed Of intelligent, disinter.
ested, and public-spirited citizens, sup.
plies a medium for creating public
sentiment, and for wisely directing it
when created. It is not a shifting
body, as a board of selectmen is apt
to be, but having prepared policy fol
public improvement it can continuously
work toward its development. Such
an organization is also useful from the
force of criticism it can bring to bear
upon public officials who are not salts
factorily performing their duty. It is.
needless to say that town improve
ment society ought to be made up Of
those who do not hold and who are not
seeking public Office.
EDGAR T.. LINCOLN, OF TopeKa,
Kan, has taken out more patents dur
ing the last two years than any man, in
the country. His inventions cover all
fields and he has patented almost
everything, from an improved electric
light to celluloid toothpick. Like a
great many inventors, he finds it diff
cult to make money out of his clever
ness. Other men reap the profit OF
his brain effort. His last design is
toboggan brake. It enables toboggan
to stop in the middle of the steepest
incline instantly if any obstruction
suddenly appears on the chute.
HE most famous bandit in Spain,
Ferdinand Guzman, is dwarf, who at

scrupulous. The romantic chivalry
attributed to Spanish bandits does not
apply to him at all. He has gathered
about him a crew of the worst cut
throats in Europe, and over them he
reigns supreme. The Spanish Govern
ment has determined to arrest him
and his followers.

The following paragraph has been
floating about the state for the past
month credited to the Mankato Herald
and protesting to put on record pro
minent citizen of Blue Earth county,:
| shall always regret the time and
money | spent in getting an education.
| can read Homer's lliiad and the Odes-
sy in the original, have read the book OF
Genesis in Hebrew and am familiar with
Josephus, Aristotle, Plato, Caesar and
Cicero, but find 1t hard work TO make
Il living and support my family. tamil-
iarity with Egyptian hierOglyphiCs only
has II tendency TO maze me dissatisfied
with my lot and does not hel p me in any
way. Had | entered active business
life when | started TO college | might
have learned something useful and have
been in comfortable circumstances now.
| do not believe in educating Il person
above the position he must till.
The prominent citizens of Blue Earth
county" who cannot make living and
support their families are very scarce,
and the one in question Is an exclusive
find OF the Herald. If this gentleman
had the brains TO acquire so much knOw!-
edge it is very queer he lacked the sense
to put 1t to some practical benefit to him
self or his fellows. The learning a man
secured at college never did him any
hurt and it is an admission of his own
laziness or weakness to say that he can
not put it to any use. The trouble with
this prominent citizen" doubtless is
that he exhausted his small stocH of
energy in getting an education" and is
now one of those pointed out as the
--LATEST men in town." Too slothful to
take advantage of the knowledge which
many an ignorant but more appreciative
man would covet as great prize. What
nonsense to talk about the position a
man must fill in this country where
there is no position above the attain
ment of those of industrious, energetic
and ambitious natures. Please don't
advertise the man quoted above any
longer as product of Blue Earth county
soil.

RLAINE,S BANQUET.

An Elaborate Dinner Given to the Dele
gates to the Three Americas Congress.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.-The banquet
given to the delegates to the international
American congress by the secretary of
state, as the representative of the United
States, at the La Normandie, was most
brilliant gathering. The spacious dining
room was handsomely decorated, but the
artist seemed to have exhausted his art
in the table decoration. The table
formed hollow square, in the center of
which were placed tropical plants and
evergreens, and among these, at regular
distances, were suspended electric lights,
covered with different colored shades.
The effect was dazzling and beautiful in
the extreme. Covers were laid for fifty
four guests, There were present, besides
the delegates of the United States and
the foreign delegations, all the members
of the cabinet, Gen. Schofield, Maj. Err
nest, Mr.. Walker Blaine, Minister Ryan,
Mr.. Lee, Mr.. Moore, Mr.. Mason, Mr..
Parke, Mr.. Adde and representatives of
the press. Having discussed the elabor-
ate menu for three hours, the banquet
was dismissed by Secretary Blaine, who
said: Before we start for the excur-
sion, which for a large number of those
present will begin Thursday, and hope
will terminate happily, will offer to the
company single toast-The perpetual
friendship and prosperity of the Ameri-
can states" The toast was drunk stand
ing. No other toasts were drunk or re-
marks made, and at II o'clock the BAN
quet was at an end.

maker, is making that institution q valu-
able one for that locality. 1t was built
the past summer, and has been running
about two months. He turns out full
cream cheese of the best quality, and
being an old New York man IS an expert
at tie business.
A meeting was recently held at Eagle
Lake for the purpose Of arranging to
sink an artesian well In that village. A
committee was appointed to do the nee
essary prospecting. The town needs a
well of this kind, and we hope the en-
terprise will be successful
Chas. Bennett, of Eagle Lake. is build
ing new house in Mankato.

THE WATER BONDS VOTED,

The result of Tuesdays election to
decide the question of issuing $4,000
bonds for an extension of the city water
mains gives much satisfaction to citizens,
and especially to the residents of those
parts of the city not provided with water
service. With the prolonged drouth,
wells giving out and the prospect OF
rain growing smaller, 1t would have
been little short of criminal negligence
not to have taken advantage of yester-
days opportunity to avert the possible
continuance of the present situation.
With proper and vigorous efforts on the
part of the authorities all those portions
of the city most in need of the water
can be supplied by January LIST. There
Is every reason for believing that the
officials in charge of the matter will
take heed from the generally expressed
dissatisfaction with their eXtravagant
and unbusinesslike methods of the past,
and In the expenditure of the money
now TO be placed in their hands eXer-
else good judgment and economy. II
they do not they may as we'll make
ready to move out at the first election
hereafter. The main opposition to the
bonds came from those who had no
faith in the ability of those delegated to
expend the money, and the feeling is 50
great that only the very best Judgment,
strictest economy and most honest
methods can efiace it. Let those inter
ested take warning.

HORRIBLE DOUBLE TRAGEDY.

Murder and Suicide at Ogema, Wis, for
Which No Cause Can Be Assigned.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, Oct 3.-Meager
accounts of a double tragedy at Ogema,
Wis, have reached here. Charles Stew
enson and William Johns, who roomed
together, were found dead In their beds.
1t is not known that they had quarreled,
and the motive for the crime cannot be
surmised, as they had been good friends.
The appearances indicate that Stevenson,
in whose right hand the revolver was
found, had shot Johns, who probably
died without struggle. The murderer
had then placed the revolver to his own
head and blown out his brains.

THE st. Paul Di&pOtch makes one OF
its characteristic and dyspeptic screeds
against the proposition to appoint At
torney General Miller TO the vacant SUI
preme iudgeship. 1t would have been
better manners on the part Of the Dis
patch to have waited until the President
had given some intimatIOn OF his inten-
ton to appoint Mr.. Miller before max
ing its snarIng remarks. But it does
not appear that there would be any
thing serious the matter with such an
appointment. The fact that Mr.. Miller
has only been IAN Indiana lawyer"
counts for nothing against him for most
of our supreme judges, the best of them
in fact, were previous to their elevation
to the bench fully as "Obscure" as Mr..
Miller. That fact did not prevent them
from becoming valuable and upright
Judges. So far AZ can be learned from
an unprecedented standpoint Mr.. Miller
would honor and fulfil a supreme judge
ship as well as any other man that has
been suggested.
