FOR HORSE STEAL
ING.

Sheriff Geddes went toMapletoniTues-
day evening and served warrant on DIR.
q. Hatch, for stealing horse and buggy
from Geo. Ellis, livery man of this city.
In the police court Wednesday morn
ing DIR. Hatch asked tor an examination
and the time was set for Monday at 10 a.
m. The complaint alleges that the horse
was valued at 1925, the buggy at $40, the
harness at s., and the robe at S.. Mr..
Ellis claims that on Feb. 9Th he rented
the outfit to DIR. Hatch for ten days.
Since that time he has seen neither it
nor the doctor, although the latter has
been in the city several times. DR..
Hatch's story Is quite different. He de-
MES any intention 10 steal the horse and
buggy. He says that the understanding
was that he should keep the rig for two
weeks, or longer if he wanted it, at one
dollar a day. He says that he was called
to Springfield, in Brown county, on pro-
fessional business, and when there re-
ceived word that his wife was sick. He
left the outfit and his instruments and
took the train home, when he was soon
after arrested. He says that he will re-
turn the rig in as good condition as he
got it. He thinks there must be some
spite work in the matter.
DIR. Hatch Is a well-known resident OF
Napoleon, and is practicing veterinary
surgeon, and has good reputation. His
friends believe him innocent. His bail
was placed at $500.

ATTACKED BY A WOLF.

According to reports which have reach
ed the city, little daughter of Peter
McDermott, farmer residing in He
bron, about ten miles across the Minne-
sofa river, had rather exciting expert
ence Wednesday evening. She was re-
turning.from neighbors, accompanied
by her little dog, when she was sudden
" attacked by large timber wolf. The
savage animal made several desperate
attempts to clutch her by the throat,
springing at her with fierceness. The
poor girl was greatly frightened and
warded off the VOLTS attacks as best she
could with her arms, both of which were
severely bitten. The dog attacked the
wolf and gave the girl an opportunity to
escape to her home. Wolves are very
numerous in that vicinity, but have ney-
or before been known to attack human
beings. Sheep and other domestic ami
mails have frequently become their prey.

week. We hope soon to see him again
at his studies.
Mr.. Ernest Cole of Lake Crystal, is
one of the many new scholars.
At special meeting ofthe Normal lit
erary Wednesday afternoon, it was de-
clded that Donnelly's lecture should be
given in the opera house, and the prices
to be 25c., 35c and SOC. March 10Th is

The President gave the school two
good, sensible talks this week, and GER
tainly they should be needed by all
those who heard them.
The Normal Literary society has ar
ranged for two entertainments. The first
to be given by Miss Lowell, who comes is
highly recommended. 1t is to be given
In the Normal Hall Friday evening. On
March Goth Ignatius Donnelly will give

SCHOOL BOARD MEETING.

At the regular monthly meeting of the
Board of Education last night consider
able business of Importance was trans
acted. Among other things, it was de-
cided to have no graduating exercises
by the class this spring, but to
follow the plan of last year and secure
good lecturer. A committee was APP
pointed to select a lecturer and report
his name to the board for consideration.
The graduating class numbers but five
this year.
In regard to the:school charter amend
ments, it was decided to add an amend
ment providing that at the close of each
fiscal year the board shall make and
publish in two of the city papers a brief,
comprehensive statement of the finan-
cial condition of the schools, including
the annual reports of the Secretary and
Treasurer.
Tue report of the committee on char
ter revision, with the above amendment,
was ordered gent to Senator Pope and
Representative Barr to be introduced in
the Legislature. That portion increas-
ing the amount Of taxes to be le-
We'd to eight mills was left as origi-
nally reported, but the board leaves it
with Messrs. Pope and Barr 10 decide
whether to introduce it or not. AS the
board was generally in favor of 1T, and
as there has been practically no oppo-
sition to it, the amendment will doubt
less be left in the bill.
1t was decided TO have an industrial
exhibit of the work of the pupils near
the close of this year, after the plan of
last year. A committee was appointed
to secure suitable location for the ex.
hibit, which will probably be held in
some vacant store on Front street.

A NEW TANGLED MOVING MA
CHINE.

The Attica IN. W Ners of Feb. 18th,
contained the f~"~--i--' 49, Ill; be
of. ur readers:
A. Macbeth, of Eagle Lake, Mimi, on
q recent visit to Attica. CHANGED upon
the Rev. A. P. Cooks patent for now
ing machine, which our citizens will re-
member the gentleman has been work.
ing on for some time and for which he
obtained letters patent some time ago.
Mr.. Cook showed his model to various
practical parties in this locality and they
all agree that as moving machine it
will be far superior to anything in the
market at present, but nobody seemed
to be willing to make start for pro-
posed stock company to build machine.
But now 1t is too late for Africans to
think of the machine. Mr.. Macbeth,
who was raised in the West, where they
don't wait for the grass to grow under
their feet when they happen to see
something new, saw the model and felt
convinced that it will be good thing to
invest in, has made arrangements with
the patentee by which he will build q
test machine at Eagle Lake, Mimi, on
his return. He will control the sale of
the machine, and feels satisfied that it
will take the lead of anything now man
ufactured in that line. The machine
viii be constructed on an entirely new
principle, and will no doubt take the
place of the machines now used. We
congratulate the citizens of Eagle Lake
on the enterprise shown by Mr. Mac
beth, as it will no doubt rebound to the
advantage of that town.

CHANGE OF FIRM.
The Firm of Mcdonnell g. Thomas
Reorganized.

Arrangements have been progressing
several days and were completed last
evening for reorganization of the firm
of Mcconnell & Thomas. Col. Thomas
retires from active participation in the
management of the business, though he
still retains his interest, being what is
known as a special or silent partner.
The business will hererfter be conducted
in Mr.. McConnell's name only, and he
assumed entire control yesterday. The
capital stock of the company is placed at
$4,000. The firm will hereafter deal in
nothing but dry goods and carpets.
Mr.. Mcconnell is so well-known as q
business man and citizen that any COM
mendation or comment upon his abili-
ties would be superfuous. 1t suffices to
say that the successful business of the
firm will be continued, and the popular
ity and the influence of the establish
ment be widened and increased.

The grocery firm of Piper X WASH
burn has concluded to 20 out of business
and beginning TO-DAY will sell their stock
at cost. This step is taken as both the
partners desire to go into some new bus
mess. While they have enjoyed as large
a custom as any other grocery firm
they are not satisfied with the existing
state of trade and desire to seek some
more profitable business. Mr.. Piper is
not fully decided whether to remain in
the city, but will at least be here for the
next six months. He may conclude to
re-enter the grocery business, which his
friends certainly hope he will do lift will
keep him in the city. Mr.. Washburn
has not decided what to engage IN, but
we are pleased to say will continue to
make his residence in the city. The
store the firm occupies is to be remod-
eled, the front being made the same as
of the store occupied by Mr.. Brett, and
is to be increased to the same length,
1t will then be one of the largest and
most convenient business houses in the
city.

GOOD BYE, POOR GAS.
A New Company Absorbs Both the Gas
and Electric Light Plants.
A Strong Corporation Formed.

A business transaction franght with
great importance to the future of Man.
kato has been consummated within the
past few days. Monday articles were
drawn Incorporating the Mankato Gas
and Electric Light company, the gentle
men signing the same being Messrs.
Jno. F. Meagher, F. L. Waters, r. d.
Hubbard, Geo. M. Palmer, H. NJ. Ham,
ilton, l.. Patterson, Robert +. Brown,
E. G. Wickersham. Capital stock, $780,
600.
This syndicate has succeeded in pur-
chasing both the plant and franchise of
the Electric Light company and those of
the old gas company. The new compa-
ny assumes immediate possession of the
consolidated properties, and will be
ready for business as soon as the legal
publication of the incorporation can be
made. Its officers will be as follows:
President, j. F. Meagher; yice-presi-
dent, F. l.. Walters; Secretary, r. f.
Brown; Treasurer, q. NJ Palmer. The
Directors are all those above named.
Mr.. F J.. Waters, of the Electric
Light works, has consented to act as
general manager of the new concern.
From interviews with several of those
interested, who are men whose word
may be relied upon, it may be expressly
stated that this move does not mean
raising of prices, but rather lowering
of them, or at least of improving the SER
vice heretofore given by both compa-
MES. 1t means that the economy Of
management and operation which shall
be effected will go the berefit of the
consumers. AS an instance of this and
showing the disposition of the new COM
pany attention is called to the reduction
made last night in the price of the city's
gas lamps, the electric lights having al
ready been reduced to the satisfaction of
the council. Meanwhile, we shall have
no more poor gas" nor unsatisfactory
electric lighting Neither of these plants
under the old arrangements have made
any money-because of a lack OF capital,
as well as an unpleasant pulling and
hauling by conflicting interests. The
gentlemen who go into the new company
expect to put the business on paying
basis, but they realize the way to do this
is to improve the service in every posi-
BILE way and keep abreast of the times.
They put IN capital sufficient for this |
purpose, and the city will enjoy the ben
efits of one of the best equipped and
firmly backed plants in the Northwest.
Neither branch will be neglected, and
and progress will be
made with the times. In the electric |
department of course the future promis-
es the most development, and the new
is composed of the sort of men
who will see their own interest in giving
heir customers the best there is to be
bad
