caSiOn.

Opinion is divided as to whether
the mayor will sign the electric light
ing contract. The charter provisions
which bear on the matter may be of
interest at this time.
Section 3, chapter 3, contains the
following:
"All contracts and appropriations
shall, before they shall take effect, be
presented to the mayor, and'if he ap-
proves thereof he shall sign the same,
and such as he shall not sign, he shall
return to the common council with
his objections thereto, and the same
proceeding shall be had thereto as
provided in section 2 of this chapter,
in relation to ordinances and resolu-
tions."
Section two, referred to, provides
that the council may pass ordinances
and resolutions over the mayors veto
by two-thirds vote, which is four, or
one vote less than the vote in favor of
the contract Saturday night.
Lawyers state that the adoption of
the new contract annuls the old one,
and they also state that there is no
question but that the present coun-
Gil can make a ten year contract.

On Saturday, February 9th, 1895, at
1890 p. M, Ole J. Wiger, of Lake
Crystal, this county, fought life's
battle to a finish, death being hast
ened by acute pneumonia. Deceased
was Al years of age, and settled in the
village in 1872, coming from Norway
with his parents. During the twenty
three years of his life here he was
one of the men who helped build up
the village, working at the wagon
makers trade. By industry and econ
omy he supported family, paid for a
house and lot, wagon shop and a
blacksmith shop, also policy of

company of New York.
The burial took place from lions

tinson and W. T. Scott officiating
The writer is requested in behalf of
the afflicted wife and child who were
left to mourn Mr.. Wiger's early death,

r1ANKATO DEFEATED.
The st. Paul Bowling Team Defeats
the rIankatO Team ,6SS to 1900.

The Mankato bowling team went to
st. Paul Saturday to play a st. Paul
club. The Mankato team was COM
posed of Otto Mann, HI. G. Gerlach,
Rudolph and William Bierbauer, J.
P. Krost, Joseph Schingle, Fred Kruse
and VIM. Conrad. When the Manka-
to team got ready to play it found the
opposing team composed of men pick
ed from the various clubs in ST. Paul,
but our boys did not finch, and the
result is highly favorable to our team,
although they were not able to make
the most points.
The ST. Paul Globe gives the follow
ing account, which is not exactly cor
rect in the figures, so Mr.. Mann
states, yet is close enough for all prac-
tical purposes
The first of series of two bowling
games between the Mankato Giants
and picked team from this city was
played at Foley's last evening. The
Giants arrived early, and after being
entertained tackled the expert
bowlers of the Foley clubs. AS the
game progressed, it was apparent
! that the visitors were not dangerous,
and the result was a very easy one for
the home talent, who won by the
score of 1858 to l, 400, each team play
ed nine men. The individual scores
were:
ST. Pauls = Undressing, 219; Nc
MILAN, 2O4; Mample, 1919; Gerber, 204:
Winquist, 1913: DAZZLE, 1872; Haisley,

1858.

The return game will be played at

last night. A party of thirty or forty
will 60 up in a special train, a special
rate having been secured for the oc-
caSiOn.

GOOD PROSPECTS.
A Glimpse Into Geo. B. Owens
Growing Establishment.

A FREE PRESS reporter stopped in
at Geo. B. Owens bicycle and music
establishment today, and found him
up to his neck in work, as usual. He
is very cheerful over the prospects of
the season just opening, and has
already put travelling man on the
road for his pianos and organs, and
contemplates doing so on his bicycle
line.
Up to date this year he has disposed
of eight bicycles, which is very fiat
tering trade for this time of the year.
We were conducted through his
large repair shop, which occupies the
entire upper floor of his building. To
say the least, it is very complete,
being equipped with the latest ma
chinery, and a good deal of it. W. Ill.
Palmer has charge of this depart
ment, and there are few more skilled
mechanics than he. The idea now is
to turn out work rapidly, and there is
every facility for it. 1t is here, also,
that the "GeO. B. Owen" brand OF
wheel is constructed.
Mr.. Owen controls several valuable
agencies, viz, Stearns, Rambler,
Phoenix and Crescents- and
firms too well known to need mention.
These are in addition to his own
brand, which the public may depend
upon as to quality, every wheel being
fully warranted.
Mr.. Owen buys in large quantities
and pays the cash, thereby being able
to give the closest possible price, and
says that he will have wheels from $25
upwards. We bespeak him large
trade for the season.
The rear room on the lower floor
will be devoted exclusively to packing.
The price of wheels having come
down S25 this year, he is enabled to
rent wheels cheaper than last, year,
and his stock for renting is a large
one.
Among Uue JULIET improvements
being made is speaking tube to con-
meet the first and second floors. An
other tube will be used for dropping
down small articles from the shop
above. In the rear an elevator will
be constructed, to take up the Grip
pied wheels and bring them down
thoroughly repaired. There are now
no less than thirty wheels in the re-
pair shop waiting to be looked over.
The work is all well syStematized. 1t
would pay anyone to look over the
establishment.

THE LEGISLATURE.
Senator Ozmun'S Corrupt Prac.
tees Act Discussed and
ReCOmmitted
IT MAY BE UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
Capitol Bill Made Special
Order in the House For
March 5.

ST. PAUL, Feb. 19.-The senate had as
special order for it's evening session
Senator Ozmun's corrupt practices act
S. F. %. The author of the bill made
strong speech in it's favor, saying that
the corrupt use of money was one of the
crying evils of the day. Senator Thomp-
son wanted to see a corrupt practices act
passed, but this bill seemed entirely too
severe. Senator Stevens followed, MAX
ing a strong plea for the bill. Other
members spoke briefly and the bill was
then referred to the Judiciary committee
which will endeavor hto amend the act
SO that it will be acceptable to the coun-
try districts and not be unconstitutional.
The other matter of general interest
discussed was the bill providing that all
screens, curtains, ETC., must be removed
from the windows of saloons; also that
all drinking bars must be in place ex-
posed to view from the outside. This
measure, which follows closely the lines
of the Massachusetts, law on the subject,
was killed by indefinite postponement.
The bill to prevent a common evasion of
the law in local option towns was rec
ammended for passage and goes on the
calendar.
Bills Passed.
S. F. 90-A bill for an act to grant addt-
tional compensation TO judges of the dis
trict court in counties where court is in
session for more than 100 days. This ap-
plies only to St. Louis county and raises
their salary to 81 500.
S. F. 324-A bill to amend Sec A, chap.
3S, general statutes of 1878, relating to
public lands. This bill is in accordance
with the suggestion contained in Gov
ernor Nelson's message, and it permits
the investment of the school fund in the
bonds of any state, not more than 10 per
cent of the fund in the bonds of any one
state

LOWER RATES OF INSURANCE.
By the Citizens Fire Association of
this City.

The Citizens Fire Association have
made reinsurance contracts with
prominent stock fire insurance COM
panies who are pleased to accept
such portion of any risk as the G. f.
A. cannot carry. AS our home COM
pany carries only $1,000 lines this new
moves enables them to carry the total
insurance on any ordinary risk at the
1892 rate re-insuring all but their
usual line.
These companies are old reliable
companies, admitted to do business in
Mimi, by our state department, hav-
ing agencies in Mankato. When prom
inent stock companies of so to Is
years experience are willing to put
millions of capital behind the policies
of the @. f. A. in order to secure a
share of premiums at the 1892 rate,
the arguments usually applied against
this company by their opponents in
the fields have lost their force and ef-
feet.
Every property owner should avail
himself of this opportunity for lower
insurance rates and put on the pres
sure. Now that the avenue :is more
widely opened for securing more
equitable rates in Mankato and other
associated towns, public support
should rally to hold the advantage
gained and make farther progress as
fast as possible. This is no child's play.
The Citizens Fire Association has
labored hard in this direction, and
has fought over thea field inch by
inch against adverse nmillionaire in
terests as represented by the insur-
ance combine and their agents on
the one hand, and too much of indif-
ference and suspicion on the part of
the property owners on sthe other.
Yet, substantial progress has been
made particularly in the localities
where the property owners have been
wide awake in improving their op-
portunity.
Earnest activity all along this line
should be the order of the day among
property owners generally.

Corps, G.. A. r., to his spacious resi-
dence, where supper was served. The

The ice dealers have now finished

the dealers had not enough good ice
to carry their customers through until
cold weather. but they will not be
caught again in such manner. More
ice than ever before has been put up
this winter. John Polchow, one of
the veteran ice dealers Of the city,
said today:

GETTING MORE LIBERAL.
House Economy Committee Creates Few
Situations.

House Economy Committee Creates a Few
Situations.
The house heard another report from
its legislative expense committee during
the morning, the chief feature being the
entire absence of that virtuous air of
economy which has so prominently dis
tinguished past reports. Its first rec
ommendation was the appointment of
an additional clerk at So to act as
stenographer for such committees as
need his services. The clerk seemed to
be really needed though Henry Feig
held an opposite opinion.
81 was approached the other day."
said he, ''by clerk who said he had
nothing to do large part of the time
and he would be glad to work for any
committee at any time would call for
him."
Henry's little speech had the effect of
turning some votes, but on roll call
large majority stood by the committee,
the ballot being 60 to 16.
The committee on public accounts
was also allowed an additional clerk at
$3.50 per day.
These Measures Acted On.
Most of the morning session was occu-
pied by the reports of committees and
the introduction of bills. Just before
adjournment the calendar was taken up
and the following measures disposed of:
H. F. 14s-An act amending an act pro-
hibiting the sale of spirituous liquors in
the vicinity of the state fair grounds.
Passed
II. f. 167-An act fixing the time for
holding the general terms of the district
court in the Fifteenth judicial district.
Passed
H. F. S7-An act in relation to the man
ufacture and sale of spices, etc. Lost, 56
to 20; So votes necessary.
H. f. 379-Substitute for III. f 104-An
act to amend an act to allow villages to
separate from township governments.
Passed.
Fifteen new bills were introduced,
but none were of general Importance.
The Afternoon Session.
Upon reassembling the house resolved
itself into committee of the whole and
took up general orders, with Mr.. Doug
las in the chair. FL. f. 21S was passed
over and S. f. 1914 was recommended to
pass. The next on the list was IL. f.
210, to amend the present railroad laws
compelling railroads to construct Y con-
nections at intersecting points, and to
establish through joint rates to ter
minals and other points. The commit
tee unanimously voted to recommend
the bill for passage.
Ell. f. 278, the substitute for Mr..
Johns bill relating to the disposition of
the insurance tax for the relief of fire.
men was also recommended without OPP
position. H. F. 156, to appropriate $4OO
for the relief of Virtue Smith received
the same recommendation.
There was mild scrap over the bak-
ing powder bill-H. f. II. Mr.. Little
ton moved to strike out sec. T. relating
to the evidence of chemists, and the
amendment was adopted and it was
recommended for passage.
The consideration of the capitol bill
consumed over an hour and it was
finally made special order for Tuesday,
March 5, at 2 p. m, Two senate files
were then recommended to pass, and
the house adjourned.

REMOVINGI THE OLD JAIL.

The chairman of the county board
has made a verbal contract with
Adams & Schingle for tearing down
the old Jail building. This firm agrees
to remove the building and grade the
lot for the material to be had from
the old structure. The contract will
not be made in writing until the
county board meets and endorses it,,
which it will probably do at the March
meeting. The contract seems to be a
good one for the county, and the
sooner the old shackis taken away the
better,
