NEW TAILOR SHOP.

Mr.. A. Madison, who for years has
been connected with the merchant
tailoring department of Pond & Jor-
gensen, has severed his connection
with that firm, and will next week
open a merchant tailoring establish
ment in the building opposite the
Mankato Candy & Cracker Co.'S fac
tory.
Mr.. Madison is well known to the
trade in Mankato and the surround
ing territory, having been resident
here for more than twenty years, and
during all these years has engaged
in the tailoring business. He is a
first-class cutter, and will superin-
tend this branch of his business per-
sonally.
He has selected a complete stock
of the latest patterns in suitings, and
says he will be in position to give
his patrons the benefit of the lowest
possible cash prices.

VOTE FOR THE MINNIE sofa UNI
VERSITY.

Papers are being circulated in the
city for signatures under the follow
ing heading, which explains itself:
The LOdge-Davis Machine Tool Co.,
of Cincinnati, Ohio, propose to pre-.
sent the Tool-Room Lathe exhibited
by them at the Worlds Fair value
81, 500 to the Technical School re-
ceiving the greatest number of votes.
1t costs nothing to vote and any male
in the United States over Is is en-
titled to vote.
The names are to be secured pre-
vious to Feb. %. Guy Currier, Robert
Man, Maurice Evans, Thomas Davis
and others will circulate the papers,
and it is to be hoped that everyone
will take pains to see that their name
is on the list, and so help Minnesota
secure the lathe if possible.

THE POWERS IMPERSONATION.
The Citizens Lecture Course Sue
CeSsfully Closed.

The final entertainment on the citi-
zens' course was given Friday night
at Normal hall to large audience.
Leland L. Powers, the famous imper-
senator, pleased everybody by the
high character of his work. 1t was
an evening with Dickens great story
of david Copperfeld," and the
characters of Micawber, Uriah Heep,
Peggety, Miss Trotwood, Mrs. Micaw-
Der, Copperfeld, Steerforth and Ham
were all admirably taken and repro
duced. The two most successful i'm
presentations were those of the tumble,
cringing, snakelike Uriah, and the
open, frank .Micawber, who was the
perpetual prey and companion of
misfortune. The facial adaptations to
the characters portrayed are strong
point with Mr.. Powers, while the
range of his voice and it's scope and
power are simply wonderful.
The entertainment closed with an
amusing after-piece representing the
conflict of thought of a young man
who was making up his mind to pro-
pose to a young lady. The rising of
doubts alternating with the exstacie s
of imagination gave Mr.. Powers an
opportunity to appear at his best.
The citizens committee is planning
to give another course of six enter
tainments next season, equal in every
respect to those given this season, the
price for the course tickets to be 81. so
each. Those who were present last
night were given cards to fill out and
return, stating the number of these
tickets which the signers are willing
to take. Upon the result of this can
vass will doubtless largely depend
the decision Of the committee in re-
gard to this proposed course. The
course this winter has been an excel
lent one, and there are few who be-
grudge the money or time spent.
The committee ought to receive the
support of our citizens in procuring
course of high class entertainments
which are at once pleasure, a recrea-
tiOn and an education.

FOR WEST POINT.
Fridays Contest NarrOws Down from
Twelve to Three.


The mental examination of candi :
dates for appointment to the vacant
cadetship at West Point took place
Friday in room at the Normal school.
The physical examination was con-
Quoted yesterday by DR.. E. j. Davis,
and twelve young men were required
to strip one after another and be in
spected and pounded and tested as to
their physical condition. One was
found to have depression over one
chest and was rejected. Another had
skin disease which can be cured.
and third had front tooth broken
by accident, and both were allowed
to take the mental examination. One
other candidate had written to DR..
Davis, describing his condition and
was advised not to try the eXamin-
alton.
The following eleven reported this
morning at the Normal: VIM. J.
Mountain. Good Thunder, aged 49,;
Adolph G. Peterson, ST. Peter, 20;
John f. Peterson, Watson, Chippewa
county, 10; Royal G. Bennett, South
Bend, 20; Ralph p. Yates Jr., New
Ulm, 10; Chas. R. Cooley, Madelia,
IS; Reuben McGregor, Window, 20;
John Current, Brown county, II;
John E. Flynn, Good Thunder, 20:
Adam B. largo, Luverne, II: Paul
Collaqhan, Springfield, 20.
Prof. J. e. Gilman, of Winnebago
City, and Attorney Frank Clague, of
Lamberton, the other two examiners,
propounded sets of questions in the
different branches of common school
education to the applicants, to test
their learning, and the contest has
practically narrowed down to three.
One withdraw this noon, and only
nine are taking the examination.
None of the examiners know who the
three are, for each is entered in the
contest by a symbal instead of a
name, and the papers bear only that
blind signature. When the papers
have all been marked, the signatures
will be compared with the CIPHER,
and the names of the winners thus
ascertained. Thus the examiners can
show no possible favoritism, even if
they cared to, and all have equal
chances.
1t is expected that the eXamina-
tion will be completed at five o'clock
this afternoon, when the brightest
will be recommended for appointment
as cadet, and the next highest as al
ternate. The two who were sent year
ago both failed to pass the required
examinations at West Point, but the
three highest today have passed in
excellent shape.

If fly drops into a beer glass, says
German paper, one who has made a
study of national characteristics can
easily tell the drinkers nationality by
his action. A Spaniard pays for the
beer, leaves it on the table, and goes
away without saying word. A
Frenchman will do the same, except
that he will swear while he goes. An
Englishman spills the beer and orders
another glass. A German carefully
fishes out the fly and finishes drink
ing his beer as if nothing had hap
pened. A Russian drinks the beer
with the fly. A Chinaman fishes out
the fly, swallows it and then throws
away the beer.

YESTERDAYS CONFERENCE.
FAVORABLE RESULTS MAY FOL-
LOW THE MEETING.
If the Change is Not Too Expensive,
the Milwaukee Road Will Enter
the New Union Depot-Surveys to
be Made and Decision Reached in
Two WeekS-The Omaha'S ImpOr-
tant improvements

The conference between the rail-
road officials and the Board of
Trade committee at St. Paul Fri
day afternoon lasted about two hours.
and the committee returned to the
city last night. President Hughitt.
OF the Chicago & Northwestern road,
General Manager Winter, of the
Omaha, and Assistant General Sun
erintendent Williams, of the Milwau-
kee road, were present. The matter
was gone over thoroughly and the
Chicago & Northwestern officials
seemed willing that other roads
should use the new depot upon the
payment of a fair percentage on the
| cost of construction and maintenance.
as is usual in such cases.
Mr.. Williams promised that his
road would give the matter imme-
date consideration, and would have
the ground gone over by surveyors as
soon as possible and an estimate on
the cost OF the work prepared. It
was thought that the road will find
it quite expensive, as new track
would have to be laid, commencing in
West Mankato, in order to come in on
the river side of the depot. The
Omaha road is not willing that the
Milwaukee shall use it's tracks for any
distance, as such an arrangement
might interfere with the switching
along Cummings addition. The
present track of the Milwaukee can
not be utilized, and the purchase of
additional ground necessary for new
track might prove expensive. Still,
the Milwaukee officials would investi-
gate the matter thoroughly. The
roads passenger traffic is not great.
its depot is we'll located, and it would
not care to go to great expense This
was the substance of the position
taken by the Milwaukee representa-
tive.
During the course of the talk, Mr..
Hughitt stated that the improve
ments which have been begun in this
city would be more extensive even
than'had been promised, and that the
people of Mankato would be well
satisfied. The improvement was a
necessary one, and the road was not
begrudging the amount spent upon it.
Mr.. Winter spoke as though the i'm
provement might be completed the
present year.

Another Account

The conference was opened by a
statement by Mr.. Hughitt of what
his roads would do. He said that the
Chicago & Northwestern and the
Omaha roads were going to build
fine depot together for their own use,
and that it would be large and roomy.
There would be ample space for the
other roads to come in if they wanted
to, and they would be welcome to do
so upon reasonable terms.
The committee then asked Mr..
Williams what he had to say. He
spoke of the light passenger travel
out of this city over his road, and
said that his company would not feel
like going to any great expense in
order to get into the union depot.
1t would, however, go to reasonable
expense to do so, and would have
the surveys and estimates prepared
at once, to be completed within two
weeks. 1t would then be in the posi-
tion to say definitely whether it
would go into the union depot or not.
Mr. Williams gave the committee to
understand that only the matter of
expense stands in the way of his road
going into the depot, and that if the
cost is any reasonable amount, 1t will
do so.
When the conference ended it was
with the pleasantest feelings between
the officials of the two systems of
road. Mr.. Williams was to have a
private talk on the subject with
Me>sers Hughitt and Winter.
During the conference no reference
was made to the location of the union
depot. as it was thought best to confine
the talk only to the one subject.
Chairman Andrews feels somewhat
encouraged over the present status of
the matter, and believes that the Mil
waukee road will find that the cost
will not be as great as seemed to be
feared. He believes that the road
can secure right of way over streets
and alleys for new track without
any difficulty, and buy the needed
private property at reasonable
price.

PRIr1ARY ELECTIONS.
Which Will Replace the Caucus Sys-
tenn Hereafter.

The last legislature, as the major
ity of our readers no doubt know,
passed primary election law which
applies to all the cities in the state.
But just what this law provides very
few can tell. 1t is none too early
now to commence considering the
principal points of the new system,
preliminary to the holding of the po-
litical conventions which will follow
through the year. So we here pre-
sent the details of the law and re-
commend to our readers a careful
perusal of it:
A primary election within the
meaning of this act is an election
held in any county or city in the
state of Minnesota by any political
party to elect delegates to political
conventions.
When any political party desires
to hold primary election in any
county or city it shall be the duty of
the duly authorized committee Of
such political party for such county
or city to publish a notice once
week for at least two consecutive
weeks, the first publication of which
shall be at least twenty days previous
to the day appointed that such pri-
mary election will be held, Said no.
tice shall be published In a newspa-
per of general circulation printed and
published in the county in which the
primary election is to be held. The
notice shall give the date when the
primary election will be held, the
number of delegates each election
district is entitled to in convention,
the purpose for which the election is
called and the offices for which candi-
dates are to be nominated in conven-
tion. At least six days before the
primary election is held in any cleo
tion district or precinct the duly au.
thorized committee of the political
party holding said primary election
shall cause proper notices to be pos
ted in three public places in said pre-
cinct, giving the time and place of
holding the said primary election in
said precinct.
None but regular qualified voters
shall be allowed to take part in any
primary election, and it shall be un-
lawful for any person not affiliated at
the last general election with the DO
litical party holding the primary cleo
tion, or for any person who has not
resided for at least thirty days in
the election district where the pri-
mary election is held, to vote or take
part in the primary election.
Such primary election shall be
be held between 2 and o'clock D. M,
at an hour to be fixed by the COM
mittee calling the same, and shall
be held open not less than one hour.
All primary elections of a political
party for each city or county held in
the different election districts of the
city or county for the purpose of cleo
ting delegates to the same political
convention shall be held on the
same day and at the same hour.
When the hour for holding a primary
election in any election district has
arrived, the primary shall be called to
order by the chairman or secretary of
the precinct committee, or in their
absence by some other qualified
voter OF the party holding such
! primary election, and the qualified

TRADED PROPERTY.

An important exchange of real
estate has taken place at Mapleton
since the fire. James Mclaughlin
transfers to Chas. Dietz two lots and
their buildings on the side of the
street opposite the burned district
and block further from the depot,
and takes in exchange the two lots
where Mr.. Dietz' buildings stood be-
fore the fire. Mr. Dietz also gets
500 in money. This exchange would
indicate that Mr.. Mclaughlin in
tends to build on his new location.

A LIVIlER MARKET.

Since the advent of an independent
buyer on the market, more hogs have
come in, and the farmers are getting
the benefit of the higher prices as a
result of the competition. Mankato is
again the leading stock market of
Southern Minnesota, and the farmers
who bring in their product will have
an ample choice of purchasers, between
the several buyers for shipment and
the butchers.

The bicycle season will soon open
in Mankato and vicinity. There
are few rules which the
eyclist should observe .when riding,
and which may prevent an accident.
The rider should never gaze at his
feet when riding, for the reason that
he hardly appreciates, the rate of
speed at which he is going, and would
not unlikely run into some obstruc-
tion before he knew it, and perhaps
receive serious injury. 1t is proper
when passing team, foot passenger,
or any one whom he might meet on
the road, always keep to the right; or
if they are going the same way you
are pass them on the left. 1t is no
more than right when meeting a
horse that appears to be frightened
that the lice should dismount.
These few courtesles are appreciated
by every one, and will not only gain
respect for wheelmen, but will make
the sport more popular than ever.
An editor who died of starvation
was being escorted to heaven by an
angel who had been sent out for that
purpose. "May l look at the other
place before we ascend to eternal
happiness ?" Certainly" said the
angel. So they went Glow and
skirmished around, taking in the
sights. The angel lost sight of the
editor and went around hades to hunt
him up. He found him sitting by a
furnace tanning himself and gazing
with rapture on lot of people in the
fire. There was a sign on the fur
mace which said: Delinquent Sub
scribers." "Come," said the angel,
"we must be going" "You go on"
said the editor, "I'm not coming.
