AN IMPORTANT DECISION.

The supreme court of Minnesota
has rendered very important decis-
ion in regard to the matter of mem
bers of the legislature being,appointed
to an official position during their
legislative term. The case was
brought before the court because of
the appointment of John B. Sutton, of
Saltwater, a member of the last legis-
lature, as state boiler inspector, con-
trary to the provisions of article 4,
section 9, of the state constitution.
This decision will effectually put a
stop to appointments of this kind in
the future, and will prevent any occu-
pant of the gubernatorial office of
entering directly or indirectly into
any scheme whereby members may be
appointed to lucrative office under
the state, in return for favOrs rem
dered. The decision is just one, land
will meet the hearty approval of the
people. 1t will also have the effect of
creating one or two vacancies at least
which Gov. Clough will have to fill
again. And it may be more sweeping
than it looks on the face, and include
those who hold mere honorary posi-
tions, but which pay for the time
actually used in the transaction of
the business of the board they are
connected with.

ANOTHER CANDIDATE.
Garnie Cole is After the Lake Cry
stall Postoffice.

The night for the postmastership at
Lake Crystal is becoming more inter
esting every day. This week another
candidate has entered the field, in the
person of the present assistant post
master, Carrie III. Cole. At the earn
est request of his friends, Mr.. Cole
allowed petition to be gotten out,
and without any effort a hundred
signers were secured within two
hours, so we are reliably informed.
His friends 60 so far as to claim that
seven-eigths of the patrons of the Of
flee will be willing to affix their
names to his petition. Mr.. Cole was
born and reared in Lake Crystal and
is most popular young man.
In the meanwhile the contest be-
tween the other two candidates is
progressing, and each one claims to
hold the winning hand. M. W. Kelley
has the support of Hon. Jno. F..
Meagher, of this city, and Hon. P. II.
Kelley, of St. Paul, and a host of
other strong Democrats and he wears
a cheerful countenance. H. G. How
ard is backed by Hon. Michael Doran,
of St. Paul, and is said to be conf
dent of eventually securing the prize.
Whether his pole is the longest, will
probably be known in very short
time, as Postmaster Humphreys
term expires in about three weeks.
Mr.. Coles candidacy will complicate
matters, and it is hard to foresee just
just what the outcome will be. But
it would seem that some man who
has not belonged to every party IN ex-
istence within the past six years
should be successful.

MINNESOTA CORN.
The State Taking its Place Among
The Corn States

We clip the following letter by Mr..
L. S. Terry upon Minnesota as corn
state, and the corn yield of Blue
Earth county from the Good Thunder
Herald:
l notice in the reports of the de-
partment of agriculture for the
months of October and November
that Minnesota is placed for the first
time, so far as have observed, in the
list Of the great corn producing states
and the estimate of the yield is well
up to the front and exceeds some of
the so-called corn states. The esti-
mate for this state for November is
81 bushels; l think the average yield
of Blue Earth county will exceed this
estimate by at least one-third.
l harvested from three measured
acres 462 bushels of ears of corn, and
II bushels of shelled corn per acre,
and the balance of this crop gave
about the same yield; and this yield
is not exceptional in this part of the
county. Many large fields are re-
ported to yield from SO to 60 bushels
and upwards per acre of shelled corn.
1t was quite common belief fifteen
or twenty years ago that corn could
not be raised here at profit in COM
petition with the great corn belt.
But we are slowly and surely coming
to the front as corn producing state,
especially the southern half. Two
years ago the Agricultural society of
Blue Earth county offered prize of
$500 for the best acre of corn.
There was ten or more competitors,
but the cinch bug damaged many
fields and it was thought best by the
contestants to not make record that
year but put it over to this year. But
the managers did not renew the offer
this year; and if the yield is made
public it will have to be done through
the county papers, who no doubt will
cheerfully publish anything in that
line, which they deem creditable to
the county and state.

the audience, who were pleased at his

Gne audience, VINO were pleased at his
securing second place.
Supt. Torrens thanked the audi
ence for it's compliance with his re-
quest not to applaud. He said that it
was one of the hardest things for a
young speaker to face an antagonis-
tic audience. The listeners had
shown generous spirit toward the
young people from different parts of
the district.
The High school orchestra rendered
another excellent selection.
Mr.. Huntington, of the university
quartet, was present and volunteered
to sing a solo while the judges were
preparing their decision, which he
did most excellently.
Karl,Way,of Luverne, who had been
ruled out of the contest by a reversal
of the decision of the judges, owing
to his selection being too dramatic,
recited it at the request of the execu-
tive committee. His selection was
"Sandy McDonald's Signal" and he
spoke it very well, showing a good
voice and an active Interpretation of
the piece.
The judges were assisted by Supt.
]. F. Koehler, of Winthrop, referee,
and finally appeared and reported
through Supt, Decker, who said that
there was more eloquence and good
looks to the square inch in the Second
district than in any other part of
Minnesota or elsewhere, unless in the
first or third district where the judges
live. They were much pleased with
the ability and training shown by all,
and regretted that they could not
award the honors to all.
Mr.. Lunn and Miss Damon were
given first places and Mr. Gould and
Miss Quevli second places.
The announcement of the result
was received with repeated applause,
and some of Mr.. Lunn's classmates
leaped upon the stage and carried him
about the room on their shoulders,
while horns were blown and the High
school yell was given at close inter-
walls. With drums beating. horns
blowing land banners waving, Mr..
Lunn was escorted to his home.
Those returning home on the
Omaha train had just time to reach
the depot, and the train was held fif-
teen minutes for them.
The decision of the judges was
taken in good grace by the unsuccess-
full contestants and their friends.
The many friends of Mr.. Lunn are
pleased at his success, and predict
that he will come out first at the
state contest. The Second district
will undoubtedly be more strongly
represented at st. Paul this winter
than ever before, and there is a good
prospect of success. Probably quite a
delegation from Mankato will attend
the contest there. To Miss Crawford,
of the High school faculty, belongs
the credit of training Mr.Lunn so sue
ceSSfully.

THE FRUIT COMPANY MUST HAVE
ONE.
Humphrey May Build up
the Opera House Corner=-PIans For
the Building Being Prepared--New
Wholesale Grocery May be Started
in MankatO, by Local and Outside
Business Men.

Plans are being prepared for big
building which may be erected next
year on the opera house corner. Post
master Henry Humphrey, of Lake
Crystal, owns frontage of sixty-six
feet on Second street on the corner,
and does not desire that the property
shall remain longer unoccupied. The
Fruit company of which S. ]. Wright
is member, desires to have build
ing built especially for it's purpose in
MankatO, and no matter who will
erect it, lease will be made for a
term of years. 1t wants building
with two stores front, and will lease
the first floor and basement. The
building must be constructed with a
refrigerator on the first floor, with a
capacity of $4,000 pounds or two OR
three carloads. In the base
ment must bea banana room with a
capacity of 600 to 700 punches. The
building must be sixty to eighty feet
deep, at least.
Mr.. Wright has had some negotia-
tions with Mr.. Humphrey about erect
ing a building, and Mr.. Humphrey has
given Mr.. Wright permission to go
ahead and have plans for such build
ing as he wants prepared. There is
talk Of having two or three story
block erected To cover the whole
property, and it is not at all improb-
able that a wholesale grocery firm will
be established and rent portion
of the building. If this latter
is done, outside as we'll as local capital
will be enlisted, and a strong stock
company formed, with experienced
business men at the head of it. This
movement is too much in it's incip-
ency yet, however, to warrant the
giving cut of many facts, or the
names of those connected with it,
but we are informed that some de-
velOpments may occur soon.
The fruit company is stock COM
pany, and articles of Incorporation
will be filed before spring. There is
no doubt but what the company will
be able to secure building, as it will
be on strong footing. The building
up of the opera house corner would be
pleasing to our citizens. The location
is an excellent one for business.

NEW nUSIC.

We acknowledge the receipt of two
new musical compositions by former
Mankatoites, "The Miller's Daugh
ter" musical little waltz by Miss
Maud Walters, published by the
Thompson Music Co., Chicago. Every
pianist in the city will wish to see this
number. The other is "Dreams
of Childhood" pastoral song
words and music by Mrs. M. Warren
Christensen, an old Mankatoite, now
aresident of the Pacific slope.
The song is written for contralto OF
baritone and is published by the au
thor. 1t is pleasing number for the
parlor, and should be in the repertory
of our city vocalists.
