HERMANN'S DANCE.
Nearly One Hundred Couples
Entertained by the Jolly
GermanS-An Excellent Time

The first and last ball of the season
was given at Union hall last evening
by the Sons of Herman.
The committees were as follows:
Arrangements-F.G G. Heinze, j. p.
SchweitZer, Bruno Roemer.
Reception Andrew Hartung,
Henry Dreher.
Floor-Herman Haase, Jeo Bien-
pfel.
There were about 100 couples pre-
sent, but the hall is large and al
though more room would have been
appreciated there was no discomfort.
= Dancing began at $50 and continu-
until IL o'clock, when supper was
aounced. Tables were prepared in
basement rooms, over which pre-

n the lodge under whose supervision
.e repast was prepared. There was
q abundance of dishes that had the
genuine homemade tiavors about
Them, and nothing had been omitted
which would add to the success of the
refreshment portion of the entertain
ment.
After supper dancing was resumed,
and once more there was enjoyment
ITO the uttermost until those hours,
too small to mention at first but
which grow larger at time passes.
None wanted to be the first to start
homeward and the music was continu-
cd long past the announced program.
The Concordia was never in better
Vine and it never gave better satisfac-
! tion than it did to the descendants of
Hermann last evening.
Every member of the lodge wore a
.rosette badge of the Hermann colors
fgiven at the door with each program.
The beautiful Hermann banner on the
r est wall was an inspiring sight to
e members who can truly appre-
ate it's magnifcence, and there was
1T member present who did not
)re than once glance at it in adj
iration.
The Sons of Hermann are today
tongratulating themselves, and just
ly, too, on the success of their enter
tainment, and the success applies
with as much force financially as it
Toes socially, for the treasury was con-
ssiderably enriched by the dance of
last night.

BUILD HOUSES.
Growing Demand For rloderate-
Priced Buildings.


"You would be astonished at the
number of calls we have for moderate
sized dwellings," said a real estate
man this afternoon. cit would be
nothing strange to hear these de-
mands in the spring, but coming in
midwinter lit is not easily to obe
accounted for.
"Most Of the inquiries come for
dwellings of five or six rooms, such as
will rent for $40 or S12 per month.
There were many such requests last
fall, but we could accommodate only
few because there are no houses,
comparatively, for rent. l can only
say in explanation that people have
heard how prosperous Mankato has
been through all the desperate times
of other cities, and want to dip into
the comparative affiuence of the
town. We read of the hard times in
various western municipalities, but
has anybody noticed any particular
evidence of it here?
''It would be good plan, and would
prove good investment, for some
local capitalist to build number of
these dwellings next spring. Taxes
are not so high that they would eat
up the profit as in many other towns,
and by building neat houses he could
attract the class Of tenants that he
most wanted-those who could and
would pay their rent regularly"

-Gustave Swanson, of Judson, is
firm believer that farming pays, and
is more convinced of the fact than
ever today, and the following shows
that he understands what good farm
ing is. He delivered to the Cassidy
Packing Co. eleven loads of hogs or
sixty in all. Their average weight
was $40 pounds, making total of 20,
400 pounds for which he received 81
per hundred, or 1916. Mankato is
good market for anything the farmer
has to sell and the farmers in all di-
rections are fast getting on to the
fact.

Too Poor to Build.

Representative Moore Thinks the State Is
Too Poor to Build.
The house, in its brief two hours
session. passed the busiest time it has
yet known. The session was really the
first in which the representatives have
found themselves in a position to un-
dertake the transaction OF any business
at all, outside of that of organization,
and the opportunity was improved by
the passing OF one bill and the intro
duction of a number of others. The
measure passed was one of finance and
was brought in by Senator Langum of
the senate, who reported that that body
had just passed it. Its provision was
for the appropriation of $40, 900 to
meet the current expenses of the legis-
lature.
A measure of Importance was one in.
troluced by Henry Feig, entitled "An
act for the safe keeping Of public
funds" Its different clauses prescribe
penalties for the "a, eptance of interest
On the loans o. public officials and in
other ways.
Says the State Is Too Poor.
A bill that is liable to cut more or
less of figure in the present session
was intro tuced by Representative
Moore, a Populist, and is part of the
Populist programme. The measure
proposes to repeal the new capitol bill
passed at the last session. Mr.. Moore's
argument is that the state is too poor
and cannot afford to build at this time.
st. Paul members say the bill will
never be heard from.
The house committee on rules pre-
sented its report at the opening of the
session. The rules are much the same
as those of last session, but some
amendments are made in regard to
the appointment OF committees and
clerks.
Some Minor Measures.
Among the bills introduced were the
following:
By Representative Johns-To provide
for codification of the statutes.
By Representative Gutterson - Refer
ring to insurance loans.
BY Representative Anderson-Providing
for the taxation of railroad properties.

geant-at-arms, and to invite the G. A. r.
| to hold its national encampment at ST.

Candidate.
ST. PAUL, Jan. 1.-THE Globe this
morning says:
Concerning the coming candidacy of
Charles A. Pillsbury or some other man
acceptable to Senator Washburn, there
is now no doubt. The fact that the
Nelson men know the plan will in no
way affect the issue, and it might as
well be stated right now that the
Washburn- Pillsbury combination will
20 into the caucus with at least 60
votes. Senator Washburn has pledged
to him 30 votes which will go, to a
man, TO the cand ,da he will name.
Continuing The Globe gives the
names OF the 50 members who will vote
for Pillsbury and adds that the Wash
burn men expect to make material
gains before thu caucus is called.

GREAT YACHTING CRUISE,
A Big Fleet of Sailing Craft to
Go to Mare Island
To-Day.
Four Clubs to Be Represented In
the Fleet-The Course of
the PacifiCS.

This is to be great day for the yachts
men on all sides of the bay. The San
Francisco, California, Corinthian and
Pacific clubs are going to cruise to Mare
Island, and if a good breeze serves, the
amateur sailors will have merry time.
That there will be race goes without say
ing. Commodore Cutie will cut the pace
for the San Franciscos in the Chispa, and
he expects to have in his train the Sappho,
Queen, Ramona, Ripple, Oracle, Frolic,
Catherine and others.
Commodore Pew and the Truant will
lead the Corinthian fleet, and the Secret,
Dawn, Freda and number of other yachts
will keep him company. Commodore
Caduc will pilot the Pacific feet with the
handsome Annie, and in his company will
be the Lurline and Azalene and possibly
the Aggie. Commodore Bruce of the Cali
fornias will join the marine parade from
the Oakland side, and he expects to have
the entire feet with. him. From this
side the yachtsmen will leave for Sausalito
and Tiburon at 40 and / so P. NJ. respect
lively. Everything will be in readiness for
the trip and no time will be lost in hoist
ing sail. The boys from Oakland Creek
will weigh anchor between and 3 O'Clock
and the vessels will be punched somewhere
in the vicinity of the Brothers.
With all sails set and piping gale be-
hind them, the yachts will form a pretty
sight scudding along, leaving whitecaps in
their wake and throwing up clouds of
spray before them. II is many years since
seen in Carquinez Straits. 1t is anticipated
that there will be between fifty and sixty
yachts on the cruise.
Tonight the jolly tars will entertain
themselves with music and song, and make
a number of excursions among the yach IS.
In the m orning the various captains will
report to the different commodores at s
o'clock, and receive sailing orders regard
ing the start for home.
Commodore Caduc is making extensive
preparations for the sail of the Pacifics to
Santa Cruz on July 2. He confidently ex-
poets that at least twenty boats will join in
the cruise, owners of vessels from all clubs
in the bay having signified their intention
of participating in the ocean iaunt.
A tug will accompany the fleet and a
band will go, on the tug. 1t is also possible
that one of the pilot-boats, probably the
Bonita, will make the trip. The tug will
go along SO that in the event of the wind
dying out the feet will arrive at its des-
tination by the Fourth. The Oakland
Canoe Club will send down a number of
its little boats and there will be grand
parade OF all the craft from Aptos to Santa
Cruz.
On the morning of the Fourth the band
will furnish appropriate music when the
flags are raised and also at night when the
ensigns are lowered. The residents of the
city by the sea are making arrangements
to give the yachts a great reception, and
Santa Cruz will witness the greatest marine
sight she has seen since 1884. Commodore
Caduc has number of surprises still in
store for his guests which he is holding
back until the time is ripe for their devel-
opment.
