GOT SOnE POINTERS.
Mankato-St. Peter Electric Line Pro-
iect Taking Shape.

Messrs. Snow and Alleman, while
in St. Peter Thursday, looked over
the city lighting plant and picked up
considerable valuable information
from the city officials regarding the
running of a plart and particularly
the expense account. They also in
cidentally mentioned the proposed
electric line between Mankato and
St. Peter In talking of this matter,
Mr.. Snow said:
eve were not in shape to talk bust
ness with the St. Peter officials, for
the reason that we have no franchise
in Mankato as yet. When we get
established in this city we will .be in
d position to ask the ST. Peter author
titles for a franchise, which we shall
expect to do in the near future. A
line between the cities would be bene-
fetal to both, as we'll as the country
between. The ST. Peter people realize
that an electric line would bring Ka-
sofa but few moments ride from
their business portion. Whenever
there was an attraction at st. Peter
hundreds of Mankato people would go
there, and visa versa"

THE LECTURE COURSE.

The lecture committee held meet
ing Friday in order to perfect
arrangements for the coming course.
The course as first selected will be by
far the best and most expensive that
has ever been offered in the city but
the committee proposes to make it
still better by adding Henry Waiter
son, provided three hundred course
tickets are engaged by Tuesday night,
next. The number at present is con-
siderably less than this and it now
rests with the citizens as to whether
this additional lecture shall be secur-
ed. Every cent of the money taken
in will be spent in paying for the en-
tertainments and we feel that every
person in Mankato interested in edu-
cation should lend helping hand in
this matter.

THE CRISP CASE.
Hearing Put Over Until Next Week,
Wednesday.

w. HI. Crisp. of North Manka to,
was arrested Friday afternoon on
an action brought by J. H. Phelps, the
expressman, to have him put under
bonds to keep the peace. He spent
the night with the constable, and was
taken before Justice Hall this fore
noon, but his case was continued I'M
till next Wednesday, and he was re-
leased on 800 bond.
To get as a true understanding of
this case, our readers must 60 back to
the forepart of September, when Mrs.
Phelps left ostensibly for Albert Lea
to visit her two daughters. Her hus-
band escorted her to the depot, and
the next he heard from her was a
letter from out west, saying that she
was not coming back and would not
live with him any longer. She did
not 60 to Albert Lea, and her where
abouts were unknown. Six weeks
later Crisp disappeared from his usual
haunts. A little later Phelps re-
ceived the news that his wife and
Crisp were both at Lake Preston, S.
d., and that they were passing them
selves off as cousins, and were about
to start a bakery. Crisp left wife
and five children. Mrs. Phelps has
married sister at Lake Preston, which
is town of 500 people.
Phelps wrote to his wife, bearing
down somewhat on Crisp, and on
Tuesday last he received an anon
ymous letter containing abuse and
threats. The circumstances all
pointed to Crisp as the writer, and
when he arrived in the city yesterday
morning he admitted having written
the letter. This accounts for the
action to have him keep the peace.
His attorney is A. r. Pau, while w.
r. Geddes is the legal adviser of Mr..
Phelps and Mrs. Crisp. Both of the
latter are talking of starting divorce
proceedings. Crisp is a carpenter and
is about 80 years old, and Mrs. Phelps
nearly so years old.
Mrs. Crisp received letter from
Crisp yesterday saying that he was
going to have her put in an insane
asylum. He appeared and asked her
to write letter to Lake Preston de-
nying that he left wife and children
here, but she refused. She
says that he gave her two
days to write the letter or he
would take the children and proper
ty from her. In her excitement she
left home yesterday afternoon and did
not return, and it was feared
that her mind was affected by the
strain, but she was found at the house
of an acquaintance in the city this
morning and taken home. Attorney
Geddes and Mr. Abel sat up all night
with the children to quiet their fears,
and expecting Mrs. Crisp to return.
Crisp is more reasonable today and
there are hopes that everything may
be Strengthened out and that he will
see the error of his ways and again
take up his domestic responsibilities.

A GOOD PROGRAn.
Judge Severance Speaks to the Nor
NAL Literary Society.

The best program of the year, So
far, was presented by the Normal
Literary society Friday. One of
the most interesting exercises was
talk by Judge Severance on the Cruel
tixion from legal standpoint. In
his able way the Judge spoke at
length of the conditions under which
Christ lived, the laws relating to
punishment and the system of coun-
ting dates. He gave in some detail
the whole history of Christ's life, ex-
planning that the course of His cruel
tiXion was not so much His religious
belief as the fact that He cleansed
the temple of gamblers during the
Passover. He explained also that
Jesus was at this time one of the
most popular men in Jerusalem be-
cause he drove the gamblers from the
temple. The Jews brought all man.
ner OF charges against him and finally
tried him for blasphemy, basing their
charge not on real facts but on that
of religious belief. The Judge showed
by his address that he was.a thorough
student of the Bible and we'll able to
speak on the subject he had chosen
He spoke in the very highest degree
of the character of Jesus and advised
his hearers that no matter Of what
belief, or whether any, they could not
choose better character to follow if
they wished to make of themselves
good men and women.
The members of the Literary socie-
ty were SO well pleased with the ad-
dress that they extended to the Judge
a vote of thanks. 1t can be said that
the entertainments and everything
connected with the Literary society
this year have been of very high Or
der, and the worth of the society is
being felt in the school
