THINK 1T OVER.

Several wooden mills have lately
been located in cities of the West, and
are unable to fill>the orders that have
come in. They have proved to be
more than paying investment, and
have invariably grown to several times
their original size, following the ex-
perience of the eastern mills.
FL. E. Hance, of Stern & Hance, has
lately conversed with wooden mill
agents upon the subject and has
reached the conclusion that such a
mill located at Mankato would be
even better situated than in many of
the other cities which now possess
them, and has no doubt of the profit
ableneSs of the investment. There is
constant market for the product.
The mills is the West have not at
tempted to manufacture wOrsteds, but
have confined themselves to western
cashmeres, starting in with snaWlS
and enlarging the output to full suits
The stock is ordered long before it is
manufactured.
Mr.. Hance states that he knows OF
no business that he would rather &C
into than this. He would manufac'
ture goods after a few patterns, adopt
ing those of the imported goods OF the
previous year. The stock should be
sold before it is made, and there
would be no old stock on hand. lie
also says that Mankato would be
good point to manufacture clothing
in small way, having only few pa
irons. A boot and shoe factory would
also be profitable.
Here is something for our business
men to think over Not a great dea
of capital would be required for eithe
of these.

A $1,000 DAMAGE SUIT.

Cal Flemming has commenced a
suit against Richard Fairchild to re-
cover 81 900 damages for an assault
alleged to have been committed on
the plaintiff by Mr.. Fairchild in Feb
ruary, 1891. The alleged assault is
said to have occurred during the pro-
gress of a law suit over a small
amount of money, which was tried at
Lake Crystal FOR several days. The
two gentlemen were parties to that
suit and trouble arose between them
in the court room, but friends seper-
ated them before much damage was
done. Mr.. Flemming is now an at
torney in Minneapolis. The attorney
for the plaintiff is Douglass Reed, of
Lake Crystal, while the defendant
has secured the services of LOrin Cray.

AFTER THE POSTOFFICE.

The MankatO Journal says that
Henry Robel, G. E. Wise and P. K.
Wiser ar candidates for postmaster,
to succeed Mr.. Mcconnell. 1t is given
out from Washington that no changes
will be made in the presidential post
offices until the terms of the incumb-
ents expire, and if this is so, Mr.. Nc
COnnell will not retire before May,
1894. Mr.. Mcconnell has made very
satisfactory official, and it is not like
ly that his resignation will be asked
for before his term expires.
OF the three candidates named.
there is no doubt that Mr.. Robel is
far in the lead, Were the Democrats
of MankatO to vote upon the question
as between the three applicants he
would receive a tremendous majority.
1t is given out from Washington that
no store keeper or business man will
be appointed postmaster, but some
one who will give his entire time to
the duties of the office. This might
remove the other two applicants from
consideration. There is no doubt but
that Mr.. Robel would give the office
perfectly satisfactory administra-
ton. He is energetic, painstaking
and in every way capable. If faithful
party service counts for anything, Mr..
Robel will secure the Office.
Mr.. Wiser has some influential
backing which would no doubt be OF
assistance to him when the applica.
tions are considered. Should he re-
ceive the appointment he would give
his entire time to the office and would
without doubt make an efficient and
satisfactory postmaster.
Mr.. Wise is personally an estimable
and popular young man, but there Il
deep feeling among the ranks of the
local Democracy that there are Othel
party leaders, more deserving, mer
who have spared neither time no
money to further the interests Of thu
party. There is also feeling tina
the ReUieou and its editors have ha(
enough and that others should b.
given a chance. There is growing
feeling, which is becoming more anC
more outspoken, that the Rerieoc doe
not possess a mortgage on the Man
kato postoffice, to be foreclosed ever,
time that a Democratic administra
tion comes into power, while scores 0
wheelhOrseS are given nothing.

menced an action against T. M .Pugh,
John Edwards, Rowland w. Price and
Thos. D. Jones to recover 5000 to $500
for machinery which the defendants

was second hand one and of an old
patent. They have paid two notes
but decline to pay two other notes OF

A NON-PARTISAN MOVEMENT.
Business rIen of All Parties Request
rlayor Willard to Become a
Candidate for Reelection.
Nearly 200 Signatures Secured in Two
Hours.

The hope of having a nOn-partisan
administration during the ensuing
two years has not been allowed to
drop as some have supposed, but the
matter has been privately discussed
by representative business men of
both political parties for some time.
The result was that Tuesday after
noon petitions were circulated, ask
ing Mr.. j. A. Willard to again become
non-partisan candidate for mayor,
and $50 names were secured
along Front street The petitions
were circulated by business men who
had at heart the best interests of the
city. The non-partisan feeling among
the people is much stronger than was
anticipated, and practically all Of the
business men along the street who
were found in their stores or offices
signed the petition, regardless of pol
iticS. Some who did not care to sign
expressed their sympathy with the
movement. Had IA more systematic
and thorough effort been made
twice as many names could easily
have been secured.
There is no doubt that, outside OF
few politicians and few interested
parties, there is a general and 'over-
! whelming sentiment in favor of the
reelection of Mr.. Willard. Whether
he will accede to the request we do
not know, but all who have the best
interests of the city at heart will
unite in hoping that he will comply
with the wishes of the people. He has
4 stated positively that he will not ac-
cept partisan nomination In case
he is willing to go before the voters as
a non partisan candidate his name can
be placed on the ticket as such,
and either or both city conventions
may endorse him, land unless controlled
by the politicians the conventions of
both parties will do this without a
doubt.
Municipal affairs should be taken
out of the turmoil of politics and re-
moved from it's demoralizing infiu-
ence. Politics should have no place
in the city government, but the quail
ifications of men to hold office alone
should be taken into account. Mayor
Willard has given the city credita
BILE and business like administration
aud it ought to be continued. No one
can truthfully say that in his appoint
ments he has favored one party more
than another.
Mr.. Willard is out of the city today
! but is expected to return tomorrow
when it is hoped that he will make
known his determination.
The petition reads as follows:
To Hon. JOHN A. WILLARD, MAYOT
OF THE CITY OF MANKATO:
We, the undersigned, citizens of the
, city of Mankato, believing that it viii
be for the best interests of the city
that you continue in the office O.
mayor, earnestly request that you be
come nOn-partisan candidate To-
, mayor at the coming spring election
The following were the signature!

Special to THE MORNING CALL.

SAN JOSE. April 29.-The third and last
baseball game of the intercollegiate series
was played here to-day between the teams
from the Stanford and Berkeley universities.
The Stanford boys drove down in coaches
Gayly decorated with the college coIors
The game resulted in an easy victory for
the carmine by score of u TO 4, thus Civ
ing the Stanfords the three games of the
series The game was close up to the end
Of the fourth inning, the score at that point
standing TO in favor of Staufords.
At this tuncture the Berkeley boys seemed
70 get ratified, while the Stanfords showed
some Of the best playing of the afternoon.
In the last half of the fifth inning Harrel-
son and Sheehan both got to their bases on
balls. Lewis sent bouncer to second; the
second baseman caught the ball, but failed
TO touch his man, Captain Walton, STAN
ford's heavy man. then sent high ball over
left field, made the second base and let in
Sheehan and HARRISON.
From that time uD to the end of the eighth
inning the Stanfords had it all their own
way, the score then standing u to 0. Man
ager Wolfe of the Berkeley bows wanted to
quit, but the crowd yelled its desire 10 see
lie game finished. In the ninth inning.

GOOD AS A GOLD TINE.
Thirty-One Dollars a Head for Coyotes
in MendOcino,

UKIAH, April 29,-The Biddle brothers,
sheeDherders of the most northern ranges
in Mendoclno. arrived in town to-day. They
reported the record broken within the last
six weeks in the destruction of spring lambs
by coyotes on the ranges west of the Round
Valley Indian Reservation, principally in
the Blue Rocks Road District. There are
1000 sheep. and Of this seasons droppings
coyotes have killed from 30 to 60 per cent.
But the destruction of coyotes has also
been enormous. The sheep men grew des
perate and raised their price of $40 scalD
10 $50, which, with the county bounty of Sc
and the State bounty of So. makes coyote
scalps worth S3l. This brought into the
field a stranger named Chester Ayers with
nostrum Of his own compromising that is
nausenus TO mortal nostrils from one end of
a 5500-acre range TO the other. Over the
ranges Ayers buried steel traps, always
selecting a spot at some isolated bush, stump
or rock The bait buried with each trap
consists OF only tiny tuft of cotton with
several drops of the perfume" TIE dog
like coyotes run to every bush, stone and
stump for investigation and never fail to
scratch for the buried odor, which is so de-
posted that the scratching paws are always
captured by the sudden closing of the steel
traps sharp-toothed jaws. Mr.. Ayers
demonstrated this fact the past five weeks
by capturing 46 coyotes, whose scalps will
DTiag him upward # $500.

FRANK McCoPPlN BACK.
Grateful to All His Friends for Their
Sympathy.

Grateful to All His Friends for Their
Sympathy.
Frank McC0ppn and wife have returned
from Washington and occupy apartments at
the Rchelieu.
On account of Mrs McCoppin's delicate
state of health and the Indictment weather
in Chicago Mr.. McCoppn had to cut short
IFS stay in that city. He is Honorary
Worlds Fair Commissioner for the colony
of Victoria. Australia. and had circum-
stances permitted he would have remained
TO attend the opening exercises.
Mr.. MeCoppin feels very grateful to all
his friends in California for the sympathy
and interest felt in his candidacy for the
japanese mission, which finally was be-
slowed on an Ohio man.
President Cleveland expressed a kindly
interest in him, and expressed desire so
give him the Japanese portfolio, but the
California delegation did not seem ready TO
accept MIR. CleYeland's preference in the
matter, and the opportunity offered Cali
fOrhia was lost.
In regard to political questions at Wash
ingtOn Mr.. McCnppin felt reluctant to
make forecasts. There was a decided op-
position among many Of the most prominent
Senators 10 the annexation Of the Hawaiian
Islands under the terms of the treaty SUBJ
United by Mr. Harrison, which cOntem-
Mated the dlsfranchisement of the native
HawalianS.
Tariff revision was certain. 1t would en-
gage the attention of Congress at the earli-
est moment, but no man could predict the
nature or extent of the work to be done in
this line.
Mr.. Cleveland would meet with no strenu-
Gus objection from members of his party
in regard 10 his policy in this quarter.
The Presidents chief trouble would be
to bring his party to his way OF thin king in
regard 10 national finances. This is the
most vexatious problem that confTonts the
present administration.
The Western sentiment demanded BIZ
meta!lism. The East was almost a unit for
the single gold standard. There was such a
radical difference of views among the lead
ers in Washington oB the subject Of finances
that the most enlightened craftsmanship
will be necessary to avert party crisis.

THE BAKERIES.
Waits Work Of Investigation Still
Going On.

NaiIS W. fH OF Investigations Still
Going On.
Labor Commissioner Waits, at the re-
quest of the Bakers Union, has been
visiting the places where bread is made in
this city, and has made some discoveries
that show that some OF the bakeries are not
in the sanitary condition they should be.
One week ago the Commissioners deputy,
who had been Informed that bread was
being made in cellars in which the bakers
were compelled to sleep, went forth to
verify or disproye the statements that had
been made to him.
He visited several bakeries on Market
and Kearny streets, and found nothing TO
complain OF. They were clean aud well
ventilated and the employees had no grieY-
anees.
go to every bakery in the city and learn
how bread is being made in them and how
the wOrkmen fare" said the Commissioner
and his deputy went.
Down on Fourth street he found bakery
with ceiling six feet above the floor, not
over clean and poorly ventilated.
The men slept in an adjoining room and
told the deputy that they were obliged to
work thrice hours day seven days in
the week.
The deputy found many bakeries like the
FOurth-street shop, where men were COM
pelled to work in hot, uuYentilated rooms
every day in the week
The Labor Commissioner will finish his
laboIs in the bakeries this week, and
will cali upon the pr oprietor OF every
ignored to mend the error of his
ways, and if his warning is
not regarded he will appeal to the courts to
protect the workmen and the people.

frequently of thirst and lime water and
milk were given him occasionally.

much devoted TO her husband, and is almost
constantly at his bedside His aged father
and mother are also in constant attendance,

ing change in his condition
At a late hour last night Northey was
resting easily, and there was no perceptible
change. Ills pulse is as regular as could be
expected under the circumstances, and he
was fully conscious.
N0rthey had nothing TO add to his state
ment of tie facts of the shooting made the
night before, except that Thorn called him
convict and he asked him out to fight, and
that at the time he was shot he did not have
knife or any other weapon.
The physicians do not think he can possj-
bly, recover from the terrible wound hs
received.
