lytic Attack.
VIM. Fraumberg, cashier and book
keeper of the Mankato Candy and
Cracker Co., died rather suddenly Sat-
urday evening at about 6 o'clock at
his room in the Mankato House block.
On Tuesday, while transacting bust
ness in the office he suddenly fell over
backwards as he was going to the safe
and struck his head. He completed
his work and started for his room, but
suffered another stroke in front of
the Glass Block and fell down, and
from there was assisted to his room.
He gradually grew worse until death
occurred.
Mr.. Fraumberg's home was at Cam
bridge City, Ind, where his father
lives, but he came to Mankato June
1st from St. Joseph, Mo-, where he
held similar position with E. V
Riley as he did in Mankato. He was
an efficient employe and was well
liked. He was about thirty-foul
years of age and unmarried. He was

NEW nACHlNERY.
MankatO Gas and Electric Light Co.
Negotiating for 1t.

r. E. Brown returned Saturday af-
ternoon from trip to the twin cities
and Sparta, Wis. While in the twins
he arranged for the purchase for the
Mankato Gas and Electric Light Co.,
subject to its confirmation, of some
extensive new machinery with which
to supply commercial lighting and
power for commercial purposes. He
secured 125 kilo watt machine with
full equipments, which will cost
about $4,000. This machine will have
capacity of 5000 incandescent lights
of sixteen candle power, and can fur
nish both lights and power, one-half
of its capacity going into each, if
desired.
This addition to the plant will put
the company into position to furnish
lights and power anywhere in the
city, which it cannot do now, and is
made necessary by the increasing de-
mand for electricity.

RECEPTION AT EAGLE LAKE.
Given i'm Honor of Mr.. and Mrs. A
b, Ewing.

Mr.. and Mrs. j. A. Ewing thew
their fine residence at Eagle Lake
open Saturday to the numerous
friends who desired to pay their re-
respects to their brother, Albert B.
Ewing and the latter's bride, who are
their guests for ten days. The recep-
tion was a very successful affair, and
the house was more than filled, several
from Mankato being among those
present. The Eagle Lake cornet band,
comparatively new organization, was
present and played several selections
in a highly creditable manner, prov
ing to be one of the best bands in the
county.
During the course of the evening,
Elder Cook took a stand opposite the
newly married couple and with some
well chosen remarks, in which humor
and good advice were mingled, pre-
sented them with a silver tea set,
carving set and toilet set, as me-
mento of esteem from those present.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Ewing expressed
their thanks. Refreshments were
then served.
During the evening the bride, who
is highly accomplished musician,
rendered several vocal selections with
piano accompaniment. proving her
ability. She has had charge of the
choir of the United Brethren church
of Saltwater for several years, besides
the musical work at the prison. Mr..
and Mrs. Ewing may conclude to move
to Mankato next spring, which their
friends here certainly hope they will

THE WHEAT MARKET.
Farmers Could Affect the Price by
Holding Their Wheat.

The great question among the
farmers of this vicinity now is, "Will
it pay to hold our wheat until spring?'
The correct solution to this problem
would be worth millions, and it is
causing a good deal of discussion.
The local buyers of wheat declined
to give any advice on the subject,
when seen this morning. Said r. d.
Hubbard:
"If / were to give the farmers any
advice in this matter, and the result
should not turn out exactly as l pre-
dicted, they would find fault with
what 1 said. A prominent miller in
the state has been making predictions,
and they have generally proved
wrong. will say this however, that
believe it to be the part of wisdom
for each farmer to have his bin full.
The farmers of Minnesota and the
Dakotas are rushing their wheat to
market, and depressing the price. l
believe that they have it in their
power to affect the price of wheat
five cents bushel if they will cease
throwing it on the market, for these
three states are looked to for good
wheat this year. That raised
in the states south of US cannot COM
pare in quality with our product.
Wheat ought to be fifteen cents
higher in the spring than it is now,
but whether it will is question l
would not care to 60 on record on. The
farmers can hold their wheat in their
own bins until spring for cost of but
one or two cents, including shrinkage
from all causes, or they can have it
stored in elevators for half cent a
month. The latter is the wisest
plan, for it is then ready for instant
delivery, and any temporary bulge in
the market can be taken advantage
of. When the farmer has to haul in
his wheat, he often cannot do so be-
fore another drop occurs"
ID. A. Little was found at Cargill
Bros. elevator, and said: cit is best
not to give any advice on the ques-
tion of holding wheat, for the outcome
is too uncertain, and an unsuccessful
prophet will be blamed. The re-
ceipts of wheat at Minneapolis are
very large, but the farmers in this
section of the state are not market
ing any more than is usual, owing to
the diversity of their crops, and the
fact that they are generally busy at
home. Everything is low, but let
there be an advance in any one pro-
duct and the effect would be seen on
our streets Immediately. If potatoes
were being shipped anywhere and
were bringing fair price, Front street
would hardly be able to hold the
teams, as the county is overlooking
with potatoes. One man offered to
sell 1000 bushels at ten cents a
bushel, and even as low as eight cents
has been taken.
"The produce that is being market
ed is brought in by farmers who need
a little money, and in the sections
where nothing but wheat is raised
there is nothing else to market, which
accounts for the large receipts north
of here. What is needed there is
more diversified farming"

CHICAGO, Oct. IL, '95.
MESSRS. EARSON, LEACH & Co.,
City.
GENTLEMEN:-In these MankatO,
Mimi, electric light bonds we have
examined the submitted papers and
note:
1st, The most serious trouble
arises from the city having adopted
the provisions of chapter 2O4 of the
1913 laws. There is no proof of the full
compliance with the provisions of that
act, for it's adoption, by filing with
the secretary of state the statement
provided by section of that act. 1t
appears, however, that, by the pro-
visions of ordinance No. SO passed May
18th last, the city has adopted such
act. Assuming that said adoption
was completed by filing the state
ment with the secretary of state, we
are of the opinion that, under
section of that act, the city is
limited to debt of five per cent, eX-
cept that it may incur an additional
five per cent, provided such additional
debt is authorized under section 3 of
that act, which requires it to be au-
thOriZed by twO-third votes of the le-
gal voters voting on the question of
issuing bonds Hereunder. While it is
true that said act confers additional
powers on cities adopting the same, it
expressly provides in section 5 that all
laws in such cities in conflict there
with shall no longer be applicable.
From an examination of the pro-
visions OF the act, we think that the
act Of 81 amending the city'S charter
and authorizing the bonds in question
remains in force but expressly sub
ject to the debt limit provision of the
act Of IS, which the city has seen fit
to adopt, and if bonds are to be issued
under the 81 amendment in excess of
the five cent limit, two thirds ma
jority of the electors voting thereon
is required to authorize the issue. Un-
der this view, the issue is not proper
ly authorized, not having received a
two thirds majority and being in ex-
cess Of the five per cent limit. If the
city had postponed the adoption of
the act of '93 until it had issued these
bonds under the '9l amendment,
these objections would not have
arisen.
There are also some other objections
to the papers as submitted, but which
it will not be necessary to consider in
detail, if the city has adopted the 1913
act and SO bound itself by it's debt
limit provisions.
End. The assessed valuation given
purports to be that of 1895 and is not
exact. The 1894 assessment would
probably apply until the 1895 is equal
lied, as the latter cannot be used I'M
til that time. The date of the bonds
is not given.
3rd. The city authorities have not
been able to furnish a copy of the
election notice, and the papers show
only the substance of such notice.
Yours etc,

The following is the correspondence
received from Farson, Leach & Co.,
to whom the electric light bonds
were awarded, in which they decline
to take the bonds, and explaining the
reasons therefor. The firm sent to
Recorder Smith for copies of all the
proceedings connected with the issue
ing of the bonds, to ascertain whether
the issue would be legal, and in this
they followed out their usual custom
in buying bonds of different cities. 1t
is not infrequent that legal obstacles
to the legality of bonds are found,
making it necessary to refuse them,
and such was found to be the case
with these bonds, as we have hereto
fore stated. The fact that these OBJ
jectiOns were found does not detract
from the credit of the city, and if
Farson, Leach & Co.'s attorneys are
right, it is well that the objections
were raised at time when the credit
of the city and consequently the value
of all it's other bonds, could not be as
sailed in the money markets of the
country. The people of Mankato are
proud of the city's credit, and want
no questionable bonds fioated, to
eventually injure the city.
The letters are as follows:
CHICAGO, Oct. 16, 1895.
HON. EDGAR WEAVER, Mayor,
Mankato, MINI.
DEAR SIR:-In reply to your favor
of the 18th inst, we beg to say our
attorneys have just made report in
the matter of the Mankato electric
light bonds and we inclose same here
with.
You will note that they take the posi-
tion that if the city has adopted the
act of '93, they must decline to ap-
prove. Now, we understand that this
is the case, and, if so, as the bonds are
clearly in excess of the debt limit as
sumed thereby, We are unable to take
them. If, however, all of the provis-
ions of ordinance No 80, adopting said
act have not been complied with, it is
then probable that the bonds are all
right, as the other objections raised
by MesSrs. Burhans & Hill, given ia
second and third paragraphs of their
letter, do not seem at all important,
since the 1894 assessment can readily
be furnished and general statement
in regard to the election notice would
probably be considered sufficient. We
regret that these bonds must prob
ably be considered illegal,a las we should
have liked very much to have handled
| them.
Yours truly,
p. pro. FARsoN, LEACH s. Co.,
| j. e. BLUNT, JR., Cashier.
We hold the legal papers subject to
| your wish.

Saltwater Gazette:

Saltwater Gazette:
Mankato'S council has been over
come by streak of economy and now
the citizens all have lanterns strapped
to them nights. The city intended to
put in lighting plant of it's own but
the bonds issued were refused by the
company agreeing to take the same on
the ground that the election was
faulty. The people are kicking so
hard that it is possible that the coun-
Gil will rescind it's action and make a
contract with private company
Saltwater went without lights one
year but we cannot recommend it as a
good thing.
