A WEATHER STATION NEEDED.

A Washington dispatch says that
Senators Washburn and Davis have
been making an effort to secure the
establishment of a government wealth
er signal station at some point in the
Second Congressional district of Min
neSota. The weather bureau itself is
very anxious for such a station. The
great agricultural region in South
western Minnesota is not represented
on the signal map. The matter of
location has not yet been decided
upon. MankaGo Will be too far east,
and probably will not receive the sup
port of the senators. The point near
est the geographical center where no
stations are located would be jack
son, in Jackson county. 1t may be
possible that that town would be
selected, but the probabilities are that
the weather bureau would be inclined
in favor of Pipestone. in Pipestone
county, on account of the number of
railroads which cross at that point,
furnishing Geographic facilities at all
times, as well as reports from a
radiating region.
From it's location it would seem that
Mankato is properly located for this
station. 1t is the telegraph and rail
road center of Southern Minnesota.

ing estimated all the way from fifty
to hundred.
Every body should take an interest
in the fair and lend a helping hand.
Especially should the various town

other in making first class exhibits of
all kinds. If anybody has anything
especially fine let him exhibit it at

A SUNDAY BLAZE.

At about ten O'Clock Sunday fore
noon Leon Hunter. who was passing
by, discovered that DR.. 9. F.Warner's
barn was on fire, and gave the alarm.
The nearest hose cart was first on the
ground, followed by the remainder OF
the department. After considerable
difficulty the fire was extinguished,
without any great DANCE to the barn.
The loss will hardly exceed 500, and
was mainly upon the roof. Mrs. Ban
croft's little boy was playing garden
hose on the fire when the iremen ar,
rived.
The origin Of the fire was a
match on the barn floor. Mrs. Hub
lard sent her servant girl to Mrs
Warmers to borrow some gasoline, anC
Mrs. Warner went to the barn, where
it was kept, and filed the girls pail
AS she stepped back she stepped upor
the match, which ignited. Mrs. War
ner's dress took fire and she wa:
slightly burned on one ankle an(
about the face and hands. The burn:
are not at all serious. The fire in he
dress was quickly put out, but il
worked it's way to the second floor o.
the barn. Fortunately the gasoline
did not explode, and it is mystery
that it did not.

A PROBABLE THEORY.

There are no new developments con-
corning Layne, who is charged with
the murder of Haray sWalraYen. 1t
appears that Walraven had quite
warm friendship for Layne, which is
rather surprising as the acquaintance
is believed to have been short. Layne
was the recipient of his hospitality,
not only at his bar but lat his house.
If Layne murdered him it was a most
treacherous return for the kindness
received, and the preparations for the
murder we're well laid. To select a
vacant house in the same block TO live
in, only few rods from the rear of
his victims yard, would have been
good policy in eluding pursuit, His
victim must have passed by this house
and then the murderer could have
run up the alley, and into Walraven's
lot and waylaid him in the dense
shade. A short struggle ensued end
ing in the shot. Had murder been
the only object of the attack there
would have been no struggle, but the
bullet would have been fired from am
bush. The two large stones found
near Walraven's body Indicate that
his assailant intended only to stun
him and then rob him at leasure. But
in this he was deceived, as Walraven
struck out at him with his cane,
knocking each stone from his hand
and making two deep dents in his
heavy hickory cane. Then the Strug-
gle took place, and Walraven probably
captured and recognized his assailant
and while still in his grasp the latter
drew his revolver and shot Walraven
at such close close quarters that the
latter's face Was burned by the pow
der. This is a reasonable theory and
whether Layne can be identified as
the assailant remains to be seen
There is now believed to be sufficient
evidence to bind him over to the granC
jury.
Layne was taken with an epileptiC
fit before being taken to the mum
cipal court room for arraignment yes
terday afternoon. He cut his tOngu,
badly with his teeth and swallowed
the blood, which be afterwards cough
