every day to shop, attend the thea
tire, ball games, visit, and for this and
that other reason. People would go
to St. Peter from Mankato for the
same purposes, and Kasota people
would go to both places. Farmers
near here wanting to go to st. Peter
would leave their teams at MankatO
stables, and those near st. Peter or
KasOta would do the same there, so
that the livery business would not be
effected. At least, such was the eX-
perience in the Iowa town referred to
by Prof. Shepardson.
We venture the prediction that the
cars would be well patrOnized if eight
or ten trips a day were made, the last
one after the evening entertainments.
Cars would be chartered by parties,
and bicycle parties would find them a
great convenience.
We offer these suggestions as worth
consideration, as the next great i'm
provement in Mankato should be the
establishment of electric cars, if pos
sible. Arrangements for an electric
line at Albert Lea are being made,
and Mankato cannot afford to be be-
hind her neighbOrs.

HOG CHOLERA.
DIR. Price Makes an Investigation in
=, Faribault County.

DR.. Richard Price, of ST. Paul, was
sent by order of Gov. Clough to inyes-
tigate the outbreak of disease among
the hogs in the neighborhood of Blue
Earth City. He found both hog chol-
era and swine plague existing. Six
farmers have lost 316 hogs, leaving on
ly 33 live ones, and some of these were
in dying condition. The farmers in
that district are all wealthy and in
telligent men, and have always eXer-
cised the greatest caution in purchas-
ing hogs only from healthy droves.
Last year Iowa suffered failure in
the corn crop and the farmers had to
sell most of their hogs, but as disease
was prevalent no purchasers could be
found. To overcome this difficulty
some crafty dealer bought these hogs
at his own figure and shipped to Sioux
City and there sold them as Dakota
hogs at very reasonable figure and
they consequently found ready sale.
Some of these found their way to
Faribault and adjoining counties
where fatalities occurred last fall, but
no one attributed it to an epiZootic.
This spring more hogs sickened and
this fall as many as twenty-eight
were buried on one farm in one day.
This being reported to the COVER
nor, he ordered DR.. Price to investi-
gate. The latter thinks it can be
easily stamped out, as every farmer
who has suffered is only too willing to
have the few remaining slaughtered
so that he can disinfect his premises
and be able with comparative safety
to purchase fresh hogs in the spring
to which to feed his corn crop with
advantage. The latter crop is enor-
nous as nearly all the farmers expect
ed to fatten hogs with this winter.
DIR. Copper, health commissioner for
Blue Earth City, consulted with DR..
Price regarding the ACCESSIBILITY of
allowing show hogs to be brought to
their county fair and it was decided
to advise all such to stay away-as
the danger from cOntagion at the
present moment was too great

ELECTRIC STREET RAILWAY.
Prof. Shepardson Offers Some Ideas
on the Subject.

Prof. Shepardson was asked while
in Mankato, by a FREE PRESS re-
porter, whether he knew of any rea
son why an electric street railway
would not be profitable in this city.
He said that they had sometimes
proved profitable in cities of the size
of Mankato, and cited as an instance
the town which was formerly his home,
another town seven miles away and
has always done large business.
Formerly an omnibus making one trip
day connected the two places, and
had very few passengers. When the
electric cars were put on, the travel
necessitated the making of ten
trips day, often with trailers.
Speaking of the troubles of the lines
at Winona, St. Cloud and Mitchell S.
D., Prof. Shepardson stated that an
electric journal has been Investigate
ing them, and gives as the reason the
great over-captalization, and lack of
business methods IN putting in the
plants. Mitchell has 2,0CO population,
and ST. Cloud is not as large as Man
kato. Wherever plants have been
put in economically, and conducted as
a business investment, they are pay
ing, and only one-half the receipts are
required to meet the running ex-
penses. In regard to Mankato, he
said that like any other place much
would depend upon the local condi-
tions. He thought that the people
would soon become accustomed to rid
ing in electric cars and patronize them
well, where horse cars would have no
business. He thought that the best
way would be to run the line out to
some adjoining town where a good in
terurban business might follow.
Following up this line of thought,
why would not line running between
Mankato and ST. Peter pay? It seems
as though great deal of business
ought to go over such line. Numbers
lof people would come to Mankato

SAID BY PROF. SHEPARDSON.
He Gives Some information Regard
ing the Electric Plant.

Before returning to Minneapolis,
Prof. Shepardson made some explana-
lions regarding the electric lighting
plant which it is proposed to locate in
this city, to the FREE PRESS, sub
stantially as follows:
The bids will be on four different
kinds of plants. One will be on
plant with one machine to run both
arc and incandescenG lights: the sec
ond on two machines, one to operate
each kind Of light; one on double
engine and one of a single engine,
either to go with either Of light ma
chimes. The council can make its Sc
lection after the bids are in. The
double engine with separate machines
for arc and incandescent lights
would be preferable to either of the
other combinations. 1t is believed
that the lowest possible bid will be
S13, 900, and from that up to $4,000,
according to the engines and ma
chimes.
Prof. Shepardson has another plan
which would bring the cost Of the
plant to within the $4,000 voted, and
that is simply to put in plant for
arc lights alone, and to continue to
contract with the present company
for incandescent lights. When the
city was able, it could put in machin-
cry to supply incandescent lights.
This will probably not be looked up
on with favor by the council.
Prof. Shepardson states that there
will be very little danger of a dyna'
mo burning out, under his plans, as
he has provided for an unusually
large number of lightning arresters.
The machinery will be better pro-
tected in this respect than the Min
neapolis plant. lightning is about the
only danger to be feared for dyna-
mos.
A thirty candle power incandescent
light costs one-fourth or One-tifth
as much as an arc light to produce,
and the same proportion applies to
incandescents of other candle power.
The cost of producing the arc lights
per year is estimated at 500, and
from thirty to fortyper cent. of this is
charged to fuel, an equal amount to
labor, and the balance to fixed
charges, interest, depreciation, sup
plies, etc. The plan of running one
half the lights only half the night is a
weak point, as Prof. Shepardson
states that such lights will cost $50 a
year. The main saving is on fuel.
From midnight until morning the
cost of running these lights will be
only SIS year, or few hundred dol
lars in the aggregate.
Were there to be a separate plant,
requiring another engineer and other
additional expenditures, the cost of
each lamp would be 800 to 800, said
Prof. Shepardson. In such cases he
was inclined to think that the lights
would cost as much as private cor
porations would charge, but in Man
kato, owing to the plant being in the
pumping station and no additional
engineer required, he thought that
there might be a saving.

Special fund. ...................S 5000
Current fund

The amount of the one mill state
tax, SS.SS9.19, taken. from the total of
the current fund, would leave S15,
567.S1 necessary to be raised by levy,
aside from the special fund, and this
would leave nothing for additions to
buildings or emergencies.
The board decided to make the levy
for the special fund $1,000 and an even
$4,000 for the current fund. The adj
ditional teachers increase the item of
salaries about $1,000, and the levy is
$4,000 greater than last year to meet
this and other expenses. The levy
provides for the payment of the last
of the $4,000 bonds, so that hereafter
that item will not appear.
After the allowing of bills, the
board adjourned.

PUBLIC SCHOOL ITEMS.

The High school literary last eve
ming was success in every particu,
lar. The program was good in quality
and variety, the audience filled the
room and all were pleased.
The Mankato High school made a
good record last year. In the state
examinations it had more papers pass
the state board than any other high
school and the per cent made still
better average.
Many visitors were seen in the
schools. They are most cordially well
come in every grade.

FORESTERS OF AMERICA.

The supreme convention of the
Ancient Order of Foresters Of Ameri-
ca, was held in the Army and Navy
hall, Cleveland, Ohio, last week. Su
preme Chief Ranger, Lewis Thorne of
Los Angeles, Cal, presiding. His
Honor, the mayor, Robert e. McKis-
son in extending hearty welcome to
the 120 delegates made a stirring ad-
dress on the noble objects of the Or
der, complimenting them on the
splendid increase in membership.
Various committees having been
appointed two years ago to work on
ritual, regalia and endowment, they
each had made an exhaustive study
and reported.
The question of the retention
of the whole of the name
of their order or shortening it
has been under consideration for a
few years, and it being felt that the
present was an Opportune time to
make a change, it was passed with
be the "Foresters of America"
The report of the ritual committee
was adopted giving the order the $500
prize ritual for two degrees of most
elaborate and interesting ceremony.
The regalia committees report was
also adopted and assures the order of
a beautiful and chaste design selected
from large number of samples and
is decided improvement upon any
now in use.
The most important, however, was
the report introducing the amend
ments into the endowment assurance
laws. The rates have been re-adjust-
ed and with the alterations adopted
will place it upon the top of fraternal
order assurance, although being still
optional for use, the face value of it's
policies will not only be payable at
death, but at the age of expectancy
of life can be taken in cash, or with
paid up policy.
The hard work of the delegates was
varied by some little sight seeing and
enjoying trip on the lake in the
''City of the Straits.'
Various alterations and amend
ments of the general laws were made,
and the time appointed for the next
session, the fourth Tuesday in August
1897.
Among those present were John
Moonan, of Waseca, the Grand Chief
Ranger of Minnesota and Joseph
Reycraft of Minneapolis, the repre-
sentative.
Officers for the ensuing term are:
Lawrence J. Smith, of Mass, Su-
preme Chief Ranger; Thos. J. Ford,
