DIRECTORS ELECTED.
The Commercial Club Elects Five of
These.

The adjourned meeting of the Man
kato Commercial club Monday was
presided over by President Web
ster, in the absence of President Allie
man. After the minutes had been
approved, the point was raised again
that the meeting was not competent
to vote on directors, as there were no
legal members, the constitution not
having been signed. The chair ruled
that under provision of the consti-
tuition made to cover this case, the
point was not we'll taken.
W. L. Comstock then moved that
the club proceed to elect five directors,
to hold until the next annual meet
| ing, and that not more than twenty
names be placed in nomination from
which to make the selection. This
was carried, and the chair appointed
Jno. B. Meagher and Burt Robbins
tellers. 4aaa ROO 81 a9Eo

suited ia the election of E. G.. Bur-

lowing resolution, which was unani-
mously adopted: JLHIAlDE0H

factethat Prof A. f. Bechdolt, a

to manage the schools.
The first business of the evening
was the allowance of three trifing

In addition to the story which the
FREE PRESS gave last evening in the
telegram from Minneapolis regarding
Sheriff Babcock's statement of Will
sons sojourn in Anamosa, Iowa, we
CLEAN the following from the sheriff's
interview in the Pioneer Press: "In
Anamosa Curtis married Lottie Ar
mold August 18th last. He was then
proprietor of the Anamosa Cal, and
she is the daughter of former dep
uty sheriff. When Curtis left Ana
mosa he owed nearly everybody in
town, and when he gets back he will
probably be called upon to answer to
charges of obtaining money by false
pretenses. In one case it is alleged
that he secured piano from a dealer
without paying a cent on it, and then
mortgaged the instrument % -t'Hto1
The Pioneer Press also adds:
whether or not the matrimonial
speculations of the would-be news
paper man are as extensive as said,
there is increasing evidence of his
alleged financial crookedness. Shortly
after the sheriff and his prisoner had
taken the train from this city there
was caller at the central station in
the person of D. H. Bell, editor of a
paper at Loyal, Mimi. He came to
the city purposely to see the alleged
bigamist, who, he stated, worked for
him short time several months ago.
and when he departed, left as re-
hinder of his visit a number of I'M
paid bills" -
The same paper also contains the
following dispatch from Mapleton,
this county: "W, c. Wilson, the man
arrested in Minneapolis as r. G. Cur
It's, on the charge of bigamy, made
Mapleton a short visit previous to his
connection with the Mankato .Korning
Neaos. When he made his appearance
into town he claimed to have walked
from Wells, Mimi, was hungry, tired
and footsore and without money.
Being a newspaper man and practical
printer, he applied at the Enterprise
office for work, which was given him
for short period, and to this end his
recent venture into the newspaper
business at Mankato caused consider
able comment regarding his financial
backing. Before leaving town he
gave a talk relative to- Holy Land
travels to the Christian Endeavor So
[ciety and Sunday school. His story
differed from that given in Mankato,
in which he claims to have been a cor
respondent for a syndicate of news
papers. In other words, he went
along as. the private secretary and
companion of German gentleman of
the south who had received a legacy
in Europe. He claimed that while in
that land, after the legacy matter
had been settled, his German friend
fell between the cars and received in
juries which resulted in his death
shortly after. In talking with a
Mapleton barber, he said that women
were his only trouble, and told story
of how he was spoiled when but a
mere boy"

Rev. j. D. BOtIxin Says He VIII Organize
Them In Shawnee County.
Rev. ]. D. Botkin, who is now state
commander of the Industrial Legion,
and is devoting his time to lecturing in
the interest of that organization, spent
last night and this morning in Topeka,
the guest of his brother Tom, who is a
clerk in the office of the secretary of
state.
Rev. Mr.. Botkin is this week lecturing
and organizing the Industrial Legion in
Usage city, and tonight he will speak
at a school house about ten miles from
Burlingams.
In conversation with a STATE JOURNAL
reporter about his organization, Mr..
Botkin said: "Many people have mis-
taken idea about this organization.
When the Industrial Legion was first
organized at Memphis in 1891 it was
brought into existence as a secret society
and Paul Vandervoort, ex- commander
in chief of the g. A. R., although he was
not present, was elected national COM
mander.
"Vandervoort when notified of his cleo
ton INN ediately replied that he would
not accept an office or become a member
of any secret political organization and
from that time to this there has not been
any secret work in the order.
"The Industrial Legion is to the Popu-
list party what the Republican League is
to the Republican party. Our meetings
are all open but as the political club of
any party must be, we try and not let the
opposition know all our plans until we
are ready to carry them out

Rev. Mr.. Botkin says he expects to or
ganize the Industrial Legion in Shawnee
county but he has not yet made any ar
engagements to commence work here.
