To the City Treasury.

Henry Lang, who was arrested yes
terday on an information sworn out
by his wife for assault in the third
degree, pleaded guilty before Judge
Shissler in the afternoon and was fin
ed 1885.
The warrant was served by Humane
Officer Sheldon, who asked the county
attorney while drawing up the papers
to have the fine 60 into the treasury
of the society. Judge Shissler could
find no provision in the statutes for
such transfer and the money will re-
plenish the city treasury as is usual in
such cases.

What II. p. Christensen Says About
the School Board

"The report made by DR.. Davis to
the board last night as chairman Of
the investigating committee on
schools" said III. p. Christensen, ''that
action on additional teachers for the
East Mankato school be deferred until
the January meeting was, in my
opinion, rather prejudiced.
Certain members of the board
seem to have the idea that the High
school and the Union school are the
only public schools in the city, and
when anything touching these build
ings is brought up for discussion there
is a speedy ending of the matter.
But let somebody propose improve
mentS in suburban schools and there
is Immediately a motion to postpone
action until some future date.
81 have always believed that the
smaller schools are just as much enti-
tied to consideration at the hands of
the board as the larger ones, and the
interests of the children are Just as
vital. 1t seems that for some time
the board has been neglecting these
facts, and when member proposes
relief for the outlying districts he is
promptly voted down.
81 have no doubt that Dr. Davis
investigated the matter Of new
teacher for the East Mankato build
ing. But |, also, have done SO: but l
differ with him on one essential point.
and that is that a new teacher is
needed there, and that at once. A
few weeks ago the single teacher in
that building had forty-two scholars,
with four more ready to be enrolled.
There were eleven attending the
Union building that by rights be-
longed in East Mankato, who were
placed there to avoid the necessity of
employing another teacher; there
were three others going to the Frank
lin school who should have been trans
ferred to the fifth grade of the East
Mankato school, making a total of
sixty scholars which belong by right
of residence and everything else to
the East Mankato school, Now what
teacher is there who is competent to
properly handle SO many scholars?
"And it is no more than right that
/. East Mankato should have an addi-

tional teacher, and / propose to agi-

FOR THE IMPROVEMENT.
Senator WaShburn TelegraphS
Good News About the Gov
eminent Building

A letter was formulated by the
board of trade committee and
sent to Senator Washburn setting
forth the needs and Importance of an
addition to the east wing of the gov
eminent building, together with
sketch showing the increased vault
space and the arrangement of the
ground floor. The letter was supple
mented by one from supervising
architect Gerlach showing the
feasibility OF the proposed i'm
provement and conveying the
information that the proposed en-
largement could be made at this time
for sum not exceeding $4,000.
These papers were forwarded to Sena-
tor Washburn on Friday, and today
the committee, through it's chairman,
received the following telegram,
which will certainly prove pleasant
reading to the people of Mankato:
WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec IL.
Hon. L. p. HINT, Chairman Public
Building Committees

fully with supervising architect and
the secretary of the treasury this
morning, and have little doubt but
that your request will be granted. |
will press it vigorously and try to
secure early action.

This prompt action on the part of
Senator Washburn is only in line with
his well-known principles of advanc-
ing the interests OF his constituents
at all times, and we hope he will yet be
able to show the administration the
ACCESSIBILITY of the proposed improve
ment, and at the same time have
sufficient funds left to construct side
walks and other minor addenda

ROLLED DOWN HILL.
Treasurer Lioyd's Horse Has Queer
Experience.

w. Morse reported a strange case
Tuesday morning. County Treasurer
Lloyd, while on business in the vicin-
ity of DR.. Wickersham's place at No.
I27 james avenue last evening, left
his horse and buggy in the street
while he went into the house for a
moment. How the animal did it
cannot be imagined, but he worked
his way around to the side hill, rolled
down it's almost perpendicular sides
for a distance of ten rods through
grape vines and over barb wire fences,
buggy, lap-robe and all, finally
lodged between two grapevine
rows, where Mr.. Morse found him.
Neither the horse nor the buggy
were injured beyond a few scratches.
The lap-robe was found short dis
lance away. The outfit was returned
to it's owner this morning.

From Mondays Daily
VICTORIA IS HERE,
She Arrived From Chi
CagO at Noon.
Has Nothing to Say to the
NeWSpaperS-Her Complaint
Against G. n. SauIpaugh in
Full Shall Ladies' Attend?

Victoria A. Stein, plaintiff in the
5000 breach Of promise suit against
Clarence Saulpaugh, arrived in the
city at noon today from the north,
accompanied by ner mother and her
two Chicago attorneys.
Henry Zimmerman, proprietor of
the City hotel, yesterday received a
dispatch from member of the party
asking him to reserve one double and
two single rooms. The party arrived
in the bus, looked over the house
and apparently could not find
what they wanted, for they left i'm
mediately for the Clifton. Landlord
Kline had also been previously re-
Quested to secure three rooms for the
party, but he, also, could not agree
with them. He told FREE PRESS
reporter this afternoon that he did
not care to "bowl out" his regular
patrons from the country to make
| room for crowd he saw but once in a
lifetime, and again they left, the
lawyers, SO it is alleged, going to The
Saulpaugh for dinner, and afterwards
taking up their quarters at w. B..
Craig's on Liberty street, where they
will remain during the trial.
! Miss Stein had intended to 90 to
the Stahl, but the proprietor of that
house afterwards stated that he could
not allow SO many rooms to be held
longer than one day.
| Mrs. Burt, of the MankatO house,
was requested several days ago to re-
serve room for Miss Stein, and this
she did. Miss Stein and her mother
were in the room at 3 .. m. today
when the reporter for the FREE PRESS
called. She looked neat and trim in a
stylish, tight-fitting dress of brown
material.
Her hand tightly clutched the half
opened door as if afraid the FREE
PRESS man would make desperate
break to get inside.
II have nothing to say to the news
papers" she said, in answer to the re-
porter's query. "My attorneys are in
the city and they will answer any
question they think proper. Besides,
court opens tomorrow and you can be
present and hear everything you want
to know" And she intended to close
the door, but the reporter pulled out
a Minneapolis paper containing a col
tmn of matter clipped from the Chi
cago Herald two weeks ago, which
purported to be an interview with her
in which she had told her troubles to
newspaper man.
''Is this true? Did you say this to
the Herald reporter" asked the FREE
| PRESS man.
''NO, not word Of it, l never saw
any reporter for that or any other
Chicago paper"
Her mother, who sat in a rocking
chair near the window with
her hat on and tightly grasp
ing an umbrella heard the
conversation and said: "No, it amt
true. Not word of it," and she
sent a scornful look at the trembling
reporter.
"You need not show the newspaper
article to me-" continued Miss Stein,
in a decidedly masculine voice. 81
have seen it and know what it says.
1t isn't true. that's all. Good day"

The Bills Allowed.

The regular meeting of the board
of education was held Monday at
the high school. Members Fletcher,
Koehler, Davis, Coughlin, Brewster,
Christensen and Jones were present.
Secretary Brewster read commu-
nication from w. j. Love, janitOr of
the Union school, in which he said he
could no longer perform the work in
that building since the new room is
added for the old pay. He said he
could not afford to pay out any money
for additional help in having the
work done. The report was ordered
filed.
DR.. Davis, of the standing commit
tee, said the mother of the importu-
nate Mulligan boy had been so per-
sistent that it had been deemed best
to reinstate him. Miss, Beatty had
reported that she thought she could
control the boy, and he will accord
ingly be placed under her charge.
The committee informed the mother,
however, that a repetition Of the
offenses for which he was expelled
would result in his re-eXpulsion and
efforts to place him in the reform
school.
DR.. Davis also stated that he did
not deem it necessary to add another
teacher to the East MankatO school,
but that he believed the time was not
far distant when it would be done
perhaps by January LIST.
Superintendent Kenaston's monthly
report was read. He said the rooms
at Pleasant Grove and West Mankato
were overcrowded. The average
school attendance for November was
as follows: High schsol, 308; Union,
261; Pleasant Grove. 342; Franklin,
291; West Mankato, 1871: East Man
kato, 20. Total, 1929; total for Octo-
Der, 1881.
The communication of Mr.. Love
was again discussed, and on motion
referred to the finance committee.
On motion the following bills were
