not ready to report an opportunity was
given all to offer resolutions, which we're

STRONG GOLD STANDARD REs0LUTIoN.

Carr, of Colorado, offered the resolution
Of the silver men that was given in these
dispatches last night. Mr.. Gould, of
Texas, offered a resolution in opposition
to free and unlimited coinage of silver in
very strong terms.
The silver men and anti. silver men con-
tinued for some time alternating in offer
ing resolutions that did not materially
differ from those previously piled up on

of their respective factions.

II is a coed ihing now ard then for Con-
gress to adjourn a couple of days.
Rest is needed by caucus committees toll
ing over committee assignments and by
Senators and Representatives who have
struggled hard 10 introduce public build
ing bills.
But an adjournment is especially helpful
just now TO tie employees of the Senate and
House. So many bills have been introduced
that the clerks have simply been kept on the
jump. They have been going night and
day.
For the first time this session everybody
will he up on his work when Congress meets
Monday. Journal clerks will have their
work well done, ana The Government Print

ways i'll demand a day or so after intro
duction. 1 also means good deal to the
Printing Office, for it relieves n strain
there, which is tooseverely drawn now.
Senators are coming TO the opinion that
some tariff legislation must be passed this
winter. Senator Hansbrough. for instance,
has some decided views. He thinks the
President must borrow more money TO keep
his administration going. The deficiency
must be met some way. The Republicans
VIII be equal to the emergency as they al
ways are.
SOME ASSIGNMENTS.
Among the latest assignments decided
upon by the Republican caucus Committee.
are Senator Shoup to the Committee on
Education and Labor, and Senator r Galinger
to the head OF the Pensions Committee.
1t is quite definitely settled that Sen
itor Plat shall head the Committee on Pat
cnts. and Senator Burrows on Revision of
the Laws.
1t may be stated that the full ma aiority
representation on three of the four prin-
cipal committees has been decided upon.
This places Senators Davis and Thurs;on

Relations, Platt and WolCott on Finance.

DIR. CURRYER DEFEATED.
A. B. Moffit Gets the State Agri=
cultural Treasurership,

Mr.. A. B. Motif, book-keeper of the
Mankato Fibreware company,r received
a telegram Tuesday from Mayor
Ed. Weaver, who is president of the
State Agricultural society, stating
that E. w. Randall, of Morris, had
been elected secretary of the society,
and Mr.. Moffit reelected treasurer. 1t
is not known here definitely how many
votes DR.. Curryer received for secre
tary.
The reelection of Mr. Motif for a
third term is a deserved compliment
to a worthy young man. 1t is perhaps
all that could be expected that Man
kato should receive the offices of
president and treasurer. The newly
elected secretary is young and active
man and is every way fitted to fulfill
the duties of the office, and the Agri-
cultural society is to be congratulated
on securing his services.

CITY CHARTER.
The City Should Get an Action on
Itself at Once.

City Engineer Haynes returned last
night from,-St. Paul, bringing with
him copies of the Howard and Ozmun
municipal charter bills, which are now
pending in the legislature. These bills
are being advanced as rapidly as pos
sible, and the larger municipalities
are taking decided interest in them.
1t is time for the council of this city
to meet and decide upon what features
are essential for the best interests of
this city, and to inform the Blue
Earth county delegation. The latter
has no means of knowing what is in
the minds of our people unless some
expressions are given, by which they
may judge and act accordingly. If
nothing is done, the chances are that
a bill will become law which will con-
tain some very unsatisfactory features
for city of the size of Mankato. If
anything is to be done, it must be &C.
complished before it is too late to
amend the bill.

WHAT THE BULLETIN SAYS.

From the improvement Bulletin, a
first class contractors journal, pub
lished in Minneapolis, we clip the fol-
lowing:
The Bulletin has received from City
Engineer M. B. Haynes, OF Mankato,
copy of his last annual report issued
in tasty pamphlet form. 1t is an eX-
cellent exhibit of good work accom-
plished in most departments. Under
the head of paving, however, Engineer
HAYNES has to speak, not Of what has
been done, but what ought to be done.
lie argues forcibly for the paving of
Front street. While not at all dog
matte about the item of material, he
seems to favor brick, insisting that it
be the best and laid in the best pos
sible way. He emphatically objects
to macadam, as the limestone has
been proved too soft for the purpose.

SOME SURPRISES.
Defense in the Hayward Case
Promises a Little Start
ling testimony.
SHOW THE BLOODY CLOTHES,
Claim Made That They Were
Worn by Blixt'S Miss
ing Assistant.

MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 1S.-Several sur
prises are expected in the Hayward trial
In the morning. The defense has been
busy all day in collecting matter and
will be prepared to go along handily
with its case.
Miss Wachter will be placed on the
stand and Mr.. Erwin will argue with
the court as to whether or not she can
testify as to what Blixt said while she
was taking his statement. If the court
holds with him it will create prece-
dent whereby stenographers employed
by attorneys will have to be kept in the
dark as regards all statements between
Attorneys and Their Clients.
It appears that the statutes have not
been altered since the stenographer be-
came necessary adjunct to an at
torney's Office and there is no provision
for their protection. On Saturday
Judge Smith was quite certain that the
intent of the law was such that she
could not testify. In addition to this
I'll ere viii be some evidence in regard to
those ''bloody" clothes which it has al
ways been stated Sheriff Eye found out
near Lake Calhoun. 1t now transpires
that Mr.. Eye did not find the clothing
referred to at all, but that the discovery
was made by Daniel f. Darling, an alb
stractor for the Minnesota Insurance
company, who works in the courthouse
and lives out in the Eighth ward.
Darling Will Testify.
He will be placed ON the stand to de-
scribe how he found them, give the
location of the scene and describe the
marks about the place.
These clothes, it will be claimed by
the defense, were worn by the man who
assisted Blixt in the murder, and the
clothing that Blixt hid after depositing
the body on the road. 1t will not be
claimed that they belonged to Blixt, as
they show that they belonged to taller
man. 1t is possible that the defense
will try to locate the man who wore the
clothes and show that he fled the city
directly after the murder, but this is
not yet certain.

ally with favorable recommendations.

committee on appropriations for fur
ther consideration.

PASSED AWAY
Mr.. j. K. Head Ends Long and
Useful Life Monday.

AT 5 minutes past o'clock Monday
morning Mr.. Jered X. Mead passed
quietly away, at the residence of his
daughter, Mrs. Homer Daniels, at 21S
Marshall street. His last hours were
painless, and he sank easily into the
last long sleep that ended a long and
useful life.
Mr.. Mead was born November 4th,
1917, in Chautauqua count y, New
York, and afterwards moved to Pal
myra, Ohio, where he married Miss
Julia A. Jordan in 1S41. He removed
to Austintown, Ohio, where he en-
gagged in the hotel business. In 1S49
he located at Cleveland, Ohio, where
he resided for six or seven years. The
year 1854 found him engaged in farm
ing in Wisconsin. and three years
later he moved to Blue Earth county
and settled on farm in Garden City
township. He was one of the pio-
neers of this county. and continued
on the farm until fourteen years ago
when he moved to Mankato, and he
has resided here ever since. He filled
the position of deputy sheriff of this
county for one or two terms. He was
a member of the Baptist church for
nearly forty years.
Mr.. Mead has been failing for
some time, but was not confined to
lis bed until two or three days ago
His trouble was organic disease of the
heart. Six children survive him, W.
W.. who lives at Seattle, Wash; Geo
W., of this city; G. j., of Pontiac, Ill;
e. E. and Clara j. Daniels, of this
city, and A. A., of Oregon.
The deceased was highly esteemed
by all who knew him. His modest,
unasSuming nature endeared him to
all, and his death causes genuine sor-
row.
