pOITTty AND PPRJTRY.

This weather is very Oppressive" but we hop"
NOT Zoo much 50 for the lI,ht but interesting
mental, calisthenics necessary to contemplate th"
ca-c II one Connors, Of Springfield, Mas, as re-
portcd in n recent dispatch. Indeed, a. th" SAID
Connors is in the Springfield Jail, cool and IN
vting stone institution, calm consideration OF
him may have decidedly beneficial and tenn
pcraturc-lowering effect.
II appears that Mr.. Connors has been arrested
for debt. He owed the OLD Commonwealth OF
uossachusott, the sum # 8 81 for pol-aN. This
poll-tax had been counting up against ia" Connor7
ocrson for some time, but having no money he
could not pay Indeed, he made rather light OF

saws about the mposShity Of extracting blood
from - stone or "A turnip; and when he came home

collector had been sitting on his doorstep all day

oayly. and reply that he was not afraid 10 meet

crafty Connors soon found that the state Of
Massachusetts made her own laws for the collec-
lion Of money due her. and that She was IA sly and
hard beat State. Connors was arrested and
thrown into Jail for not paying the - o. lie
was informed that his board in the jail would b"

from week 10 week with the original - o. lie
was also told that he could not work out either
the - Gs or tho weekly 81 -. Eut, replied the
cunning Connors, as he winllcd at the stone wall

shut the door and went out, remarking through
the kcyholc that any time Connors raised the :"
he could get out This was tllrc" or iour
weeks ago. The unfortunate Connors, who
thought he going to get ahead Of the grand
old State of Massachusetts,. is still in the cool ana
hcath-giving Springfield Jail
We confess to never having been in Massa-
chusctts Jail for non-paymcnt of poll-taN, bat IT
strikes us that the best thing that Connors can
do is 10 write a comic opera, founded on ms own
case and with the money he gets for 1t pay

II he should get only 81 for his opera, or, IN
fact. any sum less than he now owes for poll

would raise him out Of the poor debtor class but
not make him rich enough to pay his debt to the
relentless State Of Massachusetts, On the whole
H. would seem that the Massachusetts, man ought

his legal prosecution is calculated to encourage
tho belief that he is confident of success. Had
he acted with promptitude and energy on the
advice given by General Butler, and proceeded
first in the military courts against the officers

would have been surcr of popular sympathy.

UPHILL YORK FOR THE DEMOCRA TIC
COMMITTEE

The Democratic Committee Of this State will
be organized for campaign work this week, and
"The Syracuse Courier secs in this early
organization the proof that the committee is
in earnest in it's determination TO conduct the
most vigorous campaign ever wagcd in New
York" But where docs 1.-THE Courier get
its warrant for this opinion? 1t is pretty gen
orally conceded that no organization, civil or
military, can do its best which is dominated
from the start by the conviction that it is
bound to fail. And yet that is what is the
matter with this Democratic Committee. Its
chairman is Edward Murphy, ir., of Troy. Mr..
Murphy, of course will set the pace for the
rest of the committee, and Mr.. Murphy not
longer ago than last June bed-wth much
cmphasis-hcld in writing over his own sig
nature-tbat Grover Cleveland was not strong
enough to carry New-York. Mr.. Murphy was
sent as delegate to the Chicago National Dem
ocratic Convention, and in common with all
the rest of his fellow delegates signed this

A new and somewhat startling feature of in
surancc has recently been inaugurated in Switzcr-
land by q number OF the railroad and steamship
companies. The latter have insured themselves
against all losses arising from accidents either TO
their employees to their passengers. For every
cmployc killed the company pockets $500, for
every passenger. $4,000. Thus, against the losses
incurred by the recent explosion OF the Lake
Ieman Company's steamer Mont Blanc at Ouchy,
the company can write down the indemnity Of
$40 900, which it has just received from the

Lovers of that fascinating mystery astronomy
will mart with regret from Schiaparelli's Martial
canals. In spite of the vast factor OF improb-
ability involved in an acceptance of the theory
that the singular markings on our neighbor
Mars of the planetary world were signs OF
the artificial labors of its inhabitants, it was an
inspiring thought that they might be so. OBJ
.ervations made with the help of the great
Lick telescope on Mount Hamilton under the
favorable condition of the present opposition OF
the planet and clear atmosphere, have dis
sipated the Italian astronomers statement that
the so-caled canals are paralleled This does
not take them out of the realm of curious spec
ulaton by any means but it weakens the theory
that they are artificial structures

it is easy to understand the reckless
ness and neglect that have caused so many
railroad and steamboat accidents in Switzerland
of late, and which led to the Mont Blanc being
sent on her journey with cracked steamdome'

gains as these will ever be possible in the United
States.

A NEW ENTERPRISE.

MankatO is to have new steam
laundry as soon as the machinery can
be bought and put in. The firm will
be known as the Mankato Steam
Laundry Co., and its business will be
under the management of Harry M.
Johnson, late of Chicago. Mr.. John
son has been on the road for a jewel
ry firm, but having resigned his posi-
tion to undertake his new work will
give his entire time to the latter. He
is pleasant, active young man, and
will without doubt make success of
the business. He will return to Chi
cago in day or two and purchase the
best machinery to be found. A loca-
tion has not yet been secured.
The present steam laundry is one of
the best to be found anywhere, but
the city is large enough to support
two such esta blishments. Competi-
tion is the life of trade.

SOME LONG RIDES.

Sunday was splendid, day. for
bicycle riders and many of them took
to the road, taking more or less long
rides.
A. q. Matter, g. A. Lewis and HI.
S. Pfeffer started out at five O'Clock
and rode against strong wind to
Blue Earth City, by way of Lake
Crystal. They made the return trip
in about four and half hours of rid
ing, getting back at eight O'Clock last
evening. The distance covered dur
ing the day was 101 miles.
Ralph Burdick and Charles Brooks
rode out to Lake Madison in an hour
and spent the day at Point Pleasant.
They started back with the eXpecta-
tion of making the return trip in
three quarters of an hour.
Fred Shaub and Rob Wilcox, of the
Owl Cycle Club, of Faribault, rode to
Mankato in the forenoon, distance
of fifty miles. in five hours. They re-
turned on their cycles.

PUBLIC SCHOOL MATTERS.

The Board of Education held a
special meeting Wednesday night and
transacted considerable business. The
most important was the decision to
return to the plan of having two daily
sessions in the High school instead
Of one long session, as has been the
practice during the past two or three
years. The hours will be the same as
in the other schools, 900 to 1900 and
1:30 to 400. The change was made
on the score of health, and it is un-
doubtedly wise action.
Miss Minnie Lee was elected to
teach the newly established sub-first
grade in the Pleasant Grove building.
The committee on property and ex-
pense was directed to ascertain the
cost of having the Byron street
sewer extended, so as to connect with
the Pleasant Grove building, and also
whether it be practicable to use the
sewer at the Union building.
The following resolution was adopt
ed:
Whereas Miss Alice Ayers, for seven
years teacher in our High school and
for three years principal thereof, has
declined reelection and concluded
to sever connection with the school,
and inasmuch as her influence upon
thepupils in scholarship andicharacter
building cannot be adequately reward
ed and remains with us as an abiding
benediction:
Be it therefore resolved, That this
Board enter upon the records our deep
sense of the self sacrificing service
rendered, and extend to her our CRATE
full thanks.
Our kindest wishes go with her
through life, with strong faith that
the work of her hands will bring her
abundant blessings.

The People of Mars,
ID. IL. CASE,
Amboy, MINI

With Mars at its present proximity
to the earth, all the world is wonder
ing if that interesting planet is in
habited, and, ESQ, what sort of race
it support. Some say tibet it is clear
ly an inhabotable planet, wolfe others
make the broad clsim that it has no
atmosphere and has reached the
period of refrigeration. The latter
may be the case; but if Mars is really
inhabited it hasn't people equal to
ours, a country like this nor rail-
toad like the St. Pau, & Duluth Rail-
road, which is known far and wide as
the Duluth Short Line. The later
has becoma firmly established as the
best line to take when you are going
from st. Paul and Minneapolis to
Deluth, West Superior. Saltwater or
Taylors Falls, as it has smooth road
bed, runs fast trains on handy sched-
ules, uses the best of equipment with
new sleepers and has fine terminals.
always take the Deluth Short Line,
which is the scenic route and the prac-
tical route, popular with all: For in
formation apply to ticket agents or

MUNICIPAL WICKEDNESS,

Amy Wertz was arrested Monday
on warrant sworn out by Martin
HI. McHale charging her with ASSAULT
in the third degree upon Jennie Nc
Hale, committed last Saturday. She
pleaded not guilty and the trial was
adjourned indefinitely.
Catherine Buckley, of Madelia,
came into the city Saturday night
well set up with "booze" and Mon
day morning went to the city hall to
call on the officers. She was locked
up and placed in a cell until this
morning when she was ordered out
of the city.
A. Laughlin appeared in court Mon
day forenoon in response to a warrant
sworn out by Catherine Collins, charg-
ing him with stealing 5000 pounds of
hay on Aug. 4th. He pleaded not
guilty and the trial was set for this
afternoon. His side of the story is
that he was hired to cut small piece
of grass for the plaintiff, who agreed
to pay him in money or hay. AS she
did not pay cash he concluded to take
hay and got 500 or 600 pounds. He
claims that there was not 1900 pounds
that he cut all TOLD.

MARRIED.

A pleasant event occurred at Water
vile Friday, being the marriage of
Miss. Emma Stowe and Mr.. Elmer
Maddox, of Grand Rapids, Mich.
Rev. Andrew Stowe, of Saltwater, a
brother of the bride, officiated. The
ceremony took place at the Episcopal
church at 1870 o'clock and was fol-
lowed by reception at the residence
of the brides parents. A large num-
Der of invited friends were present,
including the following from this
city: Mrs. G. o. Burt, Mrs. H. W.
Robinson, Misses Nellie Pay, Nettie
Porter. Belle Beatty, Nellie Wise,
Lizzie Keysor and Nellie Burt.
The bride was for several years a
popular teacher in the Mankato pub
lie schools and is held in high esteem
by her many frienys here as well as
elsewhere. Her husband is a manu-
facturer of Grand Rapids. They left
for Minneapolis and Duluth and will
go to their future home by way of the
lakes.

Determined Endeavors Being Made to

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 29.-Determina-
ton of the visiting members of the Iron
Hall to call meeting of representatives
of all the branches throughout the coun-
try for Sept. 10 and endeavor to resur-
rect the order is causing great activity
among the local members, and they all
agree that something in the way of order
can be brought out of the chaos of affairs.
There are 1900 local branches of the
order and these have reserve funds ag-
gregating $3,2OO,OOO. If this can be uti-
liked by the new order it is believed it
will be maintained G. B. Feidelman,
who is at the head of the movement, is
in the city, and says that he expects all
the branches to be represented either by
accredited delegates or by proxy in the
meeting and the first steps will be in the
direction of making radical reforms in
the constitution. If the meeting agrees
to continue the order the supreme officers
will be formally deposed and new officers
elected. The meeting will then ask the
court to rescind several orders re-
Gently made and restore the property to
the new order.

Classification of Veterans.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-The question
of classification of corps at the coming
grand encampment Of the G. A. R. in
Washington has been settled. The COM
mittee on reunions for the coming ma
tional encampment has devised plan OF

Mall, lying between the White House
and the Washington monument. Upon
this will be erected groups of tents fol-
all the old corps of the army and for the
navy. There will be headquarters
tent for each corps, and in line behind
it smaller tents for brigades. The corps
tent will be distinguished by the familiar
old badges. Every veteran arriving in
the city will go to his corps headquar
tiers and there be directed to his brigade

EXTENSIVE IMPROVEMENTS.

A new engine room and boiler room
will be built onto the southeast cor
ner of the Fibreware Co.'S. plant, at
once. 1t will be 51x73 feet, one story
high and of brick. Large boilers and
engines will be put in.
M. G. Willard is in Chicago arrang-
ing about various matters connected
with the Fibreware Co. and the Knit
ting factory. The entire capital
stock of the latter, $4,000 has
been placed, and it is rumored that
extensive new buildings are to be
erected near the present location, and
expensive new machinery put in.
The new presses at the Fibreware
works make pals of one piece, where
as those now in use make the bottom
in seperate piece. When the new
press is perfected it is expected to
make more substantial article.
