which it grew having been planted about

Since electricity has been brought
into so general use for the operating
of street railways, the question is fire.
quently asked: "Why don't the Man
kato Street Railway Co., adopt the
system?" The question is one we cam
not answer, but in common with many
others the FREE PRESS is of the opin-
ion that the induction of electricity
as propelling power would add vastly
to the income and utility Of the street
railway. When once in, the cost of
operation is less, comparatively, than
by operating with horses, and the
quick transit afforded would greatly
| increase the revenue. Additional
lines could be constructed with rea-
sonable assurance of profit, and alto
gether the change would be greatly to
the advantage of the public as well as
to the corporation holding the fran
chise. At the best it can be but a
short time ere Mankato will have cleo
trio street cars.

The fight in regard to the school

office and as both were friendly to-
ward him they withdrew. This was
probably for the best, in the interest
of harmony, as it is certainly undesir-
able to embroil over school matters in
hot contests that must necessarily
leave bad blood behind. Mr.. Cough
lin is member of the firm of MaXf1eld

1t should be borne in mind that
next Saturday evening, the 18th inst,
is the time of holding the annual
school meetings in the common school
districts. Much of the value of the
schools for the ensuing year is deter
mined at these meetings, by selecting
proper men for the offices and making
wise provision for supplies, ETC., hence
each patron should feel deeply inter-
ested in attending to aid in doing the
good work. One of the most lament
able things attendant upon the coun-
try school, is the senseless indiffer-
ence manifested by those who should
feel the most profound interest. Ina
county like Blue Earth, where the
masses are amply able to bear the
burden of school expenses, the schools
should be denied none of the modern
means for promoting education, and
sufficient funds should be provided to
employ the very best teachers. These
are some of the questions that should
be seriously considered in every dis
trict next Saturday evening.

Nothing was done in the District
court yesterday. This morning an
important case was taken up, being
that of Joseph Hewson, appellant, VS..
the estate of Henry Richardson, de-
ceased, respondent. This case has
been fully described during it's pro-
gress in the Probate Court, from which
it was appealed. The facts in brief
are that Richardson lived for twenty
years or more with the Hewson family
and the whereabouts of his relatives
were not known. On his death a
number of relatives from all parts of
the country put in an appearance and
wanted the few thousand dollars
worth of property which he left. Mr..
-Hewson put in claim of several
thousand dollars for board and nurS-
ing, and claimed that Richardson had
intended to leave his property to him
for remuneration. Judge Torrey only
allowed 1924, and from this decision
that the present appeal is taken. The
heirs are fighting the claim of Hewson
but after that is settled it is possible
that trouble may occur in reaching an
adjustment among themselves. In
the present case there are a score of
witnesses on each side, who will swear
to what they had heard or understood
in regard to Richardson's intentions
before his death.
