AGAINST A CREMATORY.

The board of trade spent the most
of the time Monday discussing
the question of the purchase of
crematory by the city.
John Klein brought the matter up
by saying that the city fathers SEEM
ed to him to be more like city boys.
III. P. Christensen favored the pur-
chase of crematory and advanced
some arguments in support of his
opinion. He moved that the board
recommend to the council that it APP
point committee to examine Gre
matory, and if it is all right to buy
one.
John Klein, NJ. G.. Willard and J.
A. Willard opposed the motion, the
two latter saying that during the hard
times every company is rustling for
business and is sending it's agents to
cities in the endeavor to secure sales.
j. A. Willard stated that we must all
do without something that we want,
and that the city is not different from
an individual in this respect, when it
is financially oppressed.
The motion was lost, there being
but one vote in it's favor.
The sentiment against the purchase
of a steam roller seemed to be equally
strong, although no vote was taken on
the subject.
The secretary was instructed to en-
quire of the Interstate Commerce
Commission as to it's progress with the
railroad cases before it, in which Man
kato is interested. Gen. Pope explain
ed that the briefs were submitted two
months ago.
TheQuestion of markets was brought
up, and w. M. Farr, chairman OF the
investigating committee, stated that
he was not yetready to make report.
1t was very difficult matter to aScer-
tain what is paid in the neighboring
towns, as there seems to be DISPOSE
ion to retard the committees work.
From what has been aScertained, TAX
ing the prices for long period, on
every date considerable more has been
paid for hogs in this city than at ST.
Peter. A number of instances had'been
heard where farmers had taken cattle
to other markets and had afterwards
admitted that they would have made
more by bringing them to Mankato.
J. n. Hall read clippings from
papers at St. Peter and Mapleton,
which led to some discussion.
A communicable was received from
G. A. Brackett, w. S. Benton and
Geo. w. Parker, committee of Min
neapolis business men, advocating the
formation Of an association to protect

A FIRE ALARM SYSTErI.

The fire department held it's annual
meeting Friday, and reelected the
following officers:
Chief Engineer, Geo. NJ. Phillips.
1st asst. g Henry Fricke.
I'd g =" G. p. Williams
A resolution was passed s recon-
mending that the council purchase an
electric fire alarm system, and appro-
priating 81, 800 from the freman's re-
lief fund to aid in paying for the sys-
TEN. 1t is estimated that the cost
will be something over $4,000. The
department is very anxious to have a
system. and it is making a good deal
of a sacrifice in Offering to pay nearly
one-half of the cost. If the city is in
a financial condition to warrant it,
there are many things less important
than a system of fire alarms.
Blue Earth City Post: A large and
enthusiastic audience greeted Miss
Candace Pratt, of MankatO, assisted
by Mrs. j. /. Brown, sof Blue Earth

Miss Pratt is a vocalist of rare ability:
she possesses very sweet and we'll

From the number of bicycles that

The rainy season has interrupted
work on the new jail. The excava-

NEW York, April 29.-WaIl street is
still brooding cautiously over situation
beset with uncertainty Of one kind or
another. The crops. the tariff. the cur.
Tency, the specter of financial section
alism. the significance of the new tramp
element in politics. the wide prevalence
OF strikes and the new peace element in
Europe. with its probable effects upon
intern ational investments all these
matters. important in themselves. and
some of them fraugnt with significant
possibilities, are felt to demand atten-
ton. and yet for the moment they are
in condition of suspense. Perhaps
there is nothing in any of them that
conveys any distinct menace; but the
fact that changes are impending in so
many matters which may more or less
Influence the future of investment, is
calculated to hold business in suspense.
Transactions are, therefore, of a frag-
mentary character, and there are no
symptoms OF any large concerted move
ments calculated to materially affect
values. Holders of the floating supplies
of securities, however, see nothing to
disturb their confidence: and raiders
hnd nothing 10 encourage attacks, but
are wary in their tactics.
The remarkable bids for the Paris
loan. amounting 10 100 times the sum of
bonds offered, and the offers for the
German loan to three times the amount
sought, are striking evidences OF the
extraordinary surplus of funds in Eu-
rope seeking employment. This is not
without Significance to our own invest
ments. When the questions now pend
ing i'll congress have been disposed of,
the uncertainties which now temporarily
check the European demand for our
issues will disappear, and New York
will be benefited b& the investment de-
mand of London, Paris and Berlin.

pie Of atalanta Flee to the
Hills Contour Of Coast Has
Changed - King George Ex-
tending Aid.
ATHENS. April 29.-The official re-
ports sent from earthquake-stricken
districts in nowise minimiZe the first
account of the disaster. The whole
coast line from the ancient port OF
Laryma to Themop0lye suffered terri
bly,. King George was deeply stirred
by the scenes Of suffering that he
witnessed during his visit to ATLANTA.
He has announced his intention of
visiting Thebes and extending aid to
the afflicted people there. The loss Of
life Friday night last must have been
very great. Nj. Bouphldes. minister of
the interior, has received adviceS that
in the Lokris district alone 500 were
killed. Two hundred and thirty-three
bodies have already been recovered.
About 800 were injured. The people of
Atalanta have fled to the hills for
safety. In this district there was
continuous series of shocks. In seven
hours and a half 365 were counted.
When the earth movements began and
houses began to fall many of the in
habitants forgot everything except their
personal safety. They ran wildly from
the doomed city, and sought firm
behind the town. The earth swung to
and fro like Il pendulu m, aud between
the swings would tremble and culver.
Great assures opened over an
area of ten suuare kilometers.
Much damage was done along the
shore by seismic wave, which en-
croached upon the coast for distance
of twenty meters. A number of houses
were destroyed by this means. aud
there can be no doubt that lives were
also lost. 1t will perhaps be several
days before an accurate list Of the fatal
tiles can be made up. Huge masses Of
rock were detached from the mountains
into the valleys below. Eye witnesses
of the scene describe it as having been
an awe-inspiring exhibition of the
mighty forces OF nature, before which
man was utterly helpless. Deep SUBJ
terranean mumbling and reports resem-
bling the sound of cannon fired at dis
tance continue to be heard. and the peo-
pie are in mortal fear that other and
more severe shocks may follow. The
contour of part of the coast line has
been materially changed. The shore On
the Euboean side has sunk six feet.
Other natural phenomena accompanied
the disturbance. The sulphur springs
at Aigipso were temporarily changed in
character, and spouted forth torrents Of
almost boiling water. Springs of pure
fresh water appeared in the crater of an
extinct volcano. The center of the dis
turbance lies between Larymna and the
Melian gulf. but throughout the extent
OF Greece the shocks were felt.

EASE Is INEVITABLE.
Bank of England Touches highest

LONDON, April 29.-Supplies in the
money market continued small during
the week, owing to the accumulation of
resources by the Bank of England. The
banks reserve is e23. 25O, 900, the high

from abroad, while the bank is expected
to release money by investments. Re-
Eewed ease is thus regarded as inevita-
BILE. Business at the stock exchange
was inactive, owing to the settlement
at the Jewish holidays. The market
seems to wait upon a rally in American
and Argentine securities. The depres-

departments. ~---~
All securities relapsed, owing to the
strike OF coal miners, other labor trou-
bles and decreased earnings. The pros
poets OF ali assessment on Union Pacific
securities frightened not only the share
holders in that company, but the hold
