nave a ianitor. All of the flats have
already been engaged, and the Goth
of Sept, is the date set for the COM
pletion of the building. NJ. A. Crit

When completed, the building will
have cost $4,000.
The Burdick Co. will have their Of

the building, fitting up three rooms
for the purpose. This company is de-

putting up such building, which will
fully meet the demands of city of
$4,000, like Mankato. The building is
something that has long been needed,
and with its long frontage on Broad
and Hickory streets will be a great
addition to that corner. 1t is to be
hoped that the enterprise Of the
builders will be rewarded by a liberal
profit on their investment, as un-

chosen for the block was suggested by
the fact of it's being fire proof. The

SCHOOL BOARD ELECTION.
A Hot Fight i'm All of The Voting
Precincts, With Two Candidates
i'm Each.

From SATURDAYS Daily.
1t has been many years since a
school board election has attracted so
much attention as the one today. 1t
developed this morning that there
was two candidates in each pre-
cinct, in each case one being the
present member of the board
whose term expires. The streets
were filed with carriages getting out
the voters, and the ladies turned out
in considerable force an exercised
their privilege of voting.
The fight which attracted the most
interest was that in the first precinct.
There L. G. M. Fletcher was opposed
by II. L. Schmitt The ward had been
canyassed, and a very large vote was
out.
In the second precinct Capt. Clark
Keysor ran against Thos. j. Jones,
but the contest was quiet one.
A good deal of work in quiet way
was done in the third precinct, where
w. w. P. Mcconnell found w. L.
Comstock as an opponent.
In the fourth precinct, G. 2. Will
liams was opposed by w. E. Young.
The poles opened at nine o'clock and
closed at five o'clock, but the ballots
will not be counted before six o'clock.
LATER.
At 4:30 o'clock this afternoon the
vote cast in the different precincts
stood as follows:
First-350 votes, Mr.. Fletcher prob
ably ahead.
Second votes. Capt. 'Keysor in
the lead.
Third-90 votes. Very close.
Fourth-256 votes. Mr.. Williams
far ahead.

THE second district comes out of
the makeup CT the Republican state
central committee with no recognition
of a cOmmittee-man-at-large. The
first. fourth, sixth and seventh each
has one, the fifth has two and the
third has the chairman. 1t is
altogether probable that the gentle
men responsible for the makeup of
the committee considered the fact
that the second having no candidate
on the state ticket, and being i'm
pregnable against Democratic or
populistic influences did not need an
''at-large" committeeman, and that
the services of one who would other
wise properly belong to this neck
o'wood could be used more effectively
in appeasing the appetite of our greedy
friends in Minneapolis. We mildly
suggest that this might have been the
prevailing opinion which guided
Chairman Barto and his advisors in
their deliberations. If so, they GER
,inly exercised good political judg-
ent. The second district always

JOHN GooDNOw is 'sout of politics"
to the extent of "being in it" very
much. He is a member at large from
Hennepin county on the Republican
state central committee. The recent
long drawn out heated term did not
have the effect of cooling Johns
political arder as much as some peo-
pie had hoped for He has peculiar
ly successful method of keeping his
ice chest concealed just at a time
when other people think he has the
CONCEALED liquid most effectually
packed about himself. You can't
always tell what John is thinking
most seriously about by considering
him theoretically and from the stand
point of outward appearance. He is
often the most dangerous when he
looks the most childlike and bland.

THE New York World in com

THE New York World in comment
ing upon the recent strike and some of
its features, says there is but one in
depreciation to be placed upon it, and
that is, that ''the masses of the labor
ing people of the country are pro-
foundry dissatisfied with existing con-
ditions." Light seems to be breaking
upon some of the shouters for free
trade, that the country has been in
dire distress as result of the turmoil
they have kicked up over the tariff
The laboring classes are dissatisfied
because they have been obliged to
take less wages. The "existing con-
ditiOnS'' are not such as are conducive
to content, and they will not be until
the economic policy of this country is
settled in way as to encourage the
investment of capital and the conduct
of business from profitable stand
point.

SHOULD BE DEALT WITH FiRrILY

An Englishman by the name of
Charles Wilfred Mowbray has arrived
in Newly ork with the avowed purpose
of teaching anarchy in this country
and says that he was sent over here
for that purpose. His attention
should be called to the fact that the
steamship fare from New York to
Liverpool by steerage is very low, and
that he should take advantage of it at
once, and if he does not seem disposed
to, he should be given sufficient
amount of force to accomplish the
purpose. With the occurrences of the
last few weeks fresh in the mind of
the public, there ought to be no room
in this country for Mr.. Mowbray and
his teachings, nor should there be
any disposition to make room. There
has been more of the anarchistic spir-
it shown lately than is good for the
permanent welfare of our free institu
tions and to further deal with it lem
iently would be a crime. The spirit
of patriotism which caused Senator
Davis to take the stand he did toward
the element of laWleSSneSS, should be.
come the one controlling spirit of our
public men and officials. 1t is only
when the fires of patriotism burn low
upon the country's altar, that dangers
creep in to threaten the perpetuity of
our civilization.
But with the anarchist action can
not be taken any too quickly nor can
he be d ealt with any too firmly. AS
the Chicago Inter Ocean well says in
commenting upon the subject, "the
anarchist is the modern brigand, and
differs from the ancient in that he is
a coward and an assassin. He won't
work, and in order to live without
work he sets about preying upon
those who do work, and the more cas-
lily to do this he pretends to be the
champion of the poor against the rich,
of the unemployed against the en-
ployer, thereby drawing to himself
the contributions of the credulouS
nOn-contents who imagine that the
destruction Of law and responsibility
will produce millennium in which all
men shall have vines and fig trees
galore. \ If one man is al
lowed to talk treason another will be
found to put the talk into action.
There would be bomb throwers if
there were no bomb-eXtolling orators
and writer's. AS long as there are
propagandists of anarchy in speech
there will be no propagandists of an
archy in action, and the way to pre-
vent the one is to repress the other.
1t sets a premium on crime to tenn
porize with the counselorS of crime.
1t is folly to wait until some deadly
overt act is committed and then rush
about to seek out for arrest the mere
perpetrators of the act while the dis
tinctively guilty person is he who, in
dulged by the law, melted ignorance
and insanity to the crime. The sem
sible, as wellas the legal, way to deal
with these men is to eXpel them from
the country, or incarcerate them on
the mere proof that they are writer's,
preachers or actors of anarchistic no.
tions. Poisonous snakes are killed on
sight; we do not wait until they sting
us.

these officers remember these Incl

elapsed? They remember all the de-
tails and just what was said and done.
They are paid to remember it and are

Mayor Weavor's Opinion About
Humane Matters.

The committee which had in charge
the matter of going before the city
council last Saturday evening in an
effort to have the city pay half the
salary of the humane officer did not
appear before that body, and the
proposition remains in stato quo.
Mayor Weaver, speaking on the sub
ject, said: 81 believe the Humane
society is going to accomplish a great
deal OF good, and l would like to see
their agent made fixture. But our
charter does not allow US to add
another officer to the force and the
only way we could grant the society's
request, if at all, would be to file the
salary claim from month to month
and allow it as regular bill.
81 do not believe the council, on
the unsupported claim of this COM
mittee from the Humane society
would even grant such request.
They must come before US backed by
a numerously-signed petition Of the
business men and taxpayers assuring
that it be done. No alderman cares

A FARMERS LESSON.
Tries To Cross In Front
of a Train.
He Narrowly Escapes With His Life,
While His Horse Is Killed and the
Wagon Observation-Disclosures Scene
at Minnesota Lake.

The accommodation train on the
Milwaukee, due here at $50 was de-
layed two hours on account of wreck
at Minnesota Lake.
1t appers that the train was switch
ing and while backing over crossing
farmer driving team attached to
a lumber wagon attempted to cross
behind the train. One of the mans
horses was instantly killed, the owner
thrown out and the wagon broken IN
to kindling wood. The rear truck of
the hind car was thrown from the
track by the conclusion, and the six
teen passengers aboard were badly
shaken up and frightened.
After two hours work the car was
put on the track and the train pro-
ceeded on it's way to this city.
