As II to emphasize the versatility of
this great country In respect to
weather as well az everything else,
the elements have been dancing a
winter fandango 10 the southwest at
the very day and hour OF almost tor
rid heat in the balance of the Union.
Frightful billiards have been raging
during last week In Colorado and New
Mexico. Cripple Creek Is showed
under; drifts of snow are 20 feet high:
trains in New Mexico were delayed "a
hours by the mountains of snow
which have filed up the tunnels; the
cold has been dreadful and 1t Is feared
that hunting parties, who left for the
mountains before the storm, have
persisted. At Pueblo the cars we're
blown from the track, and piled up In
the ditchea At Lander, In Wyoming,
there was q mudsterm following the
snow storm, and, as II that were not
enough variety, there was first a
storm of red mud, and then q storm
of black mud.

The advocates of free coinage Of sil :
yer cite Mexico as an example of pros.
perity under free coinage ofthe white
metal. It Is we'll known and &C.
knowledged fact that the money of
the United States ia worth In Mexico
from 81. 80 to S1.9O In Mexican mon
|ey. As Mexico adJoins the
United States, the result of adopt
ing free coinage In the United States
must have one of two results, either
to depreciate our money to the level
of Mexico or raise the money Of the
latter to the value Of the United
states currency either of which we
consider objectional. II the United
States circulation was not depreciat-
ed, the passage of . free coinage act
would be offering premium on every
silver dollar OF Mexico Of about doub-
lie It's value and our country would be
flooded with Mexican silver. II the
circulating medium Of the United
State was reduced to the level Of
Mexico 1t would destroy about one
half Of it, purchasing power. In
Mexico there are two prices for near
ly everything. A sister Of a gentle
man residing in ST. Ignace. who re-
sides In Monterey, Mexico writes
him that when they 70 to purchase
an article they can buy It for about
one half the regular price in Mexican
silver II they will pay In gold. Here
in the United States q silver dollar
is as good as gold dollar, and will
buy just as much at any time and In
any place. This is the Republican
doctrine, 70 keep every dollar, wheth

The death of Ex-Governor Jerome
recalls the fact that the editor of the
AVALANCHE, who was then editor Of
the louisville INDEPENDENT, was the
first one to name him as a candidate
for the Office to which he was tri-
umphantly elected. The INDEPEND-
ENT had presented the name of e. o.
Grosvenor for the position, In a long
editorial without his knowledge. Mr..
Grosvenor being at the time visiting
jnBoston. On his return he was over
whelmed with congratulations and
offers of support from every section OF
the state, but he positively declined
to allow his name to be presented, as
his health at the time was In pre-
carious condition, and in conversation
suggested his life loug friend, Je-
rome, as desirable candidate, which
we accepted, and at once forwarded
proof slips Of our editorial in his be.
half to the Sag ina~ papers, which at
once expOused his cause.
The entire state of Michigan will
mourn the death of Ex-Governor Da-
vid b Jerome, which occurred at
Watkins Glenn, N. Y, last Friday.

impressive ever held In the state.

SCHOOL BOARD MEETING.
Several rlatters Under Consideration
Friday Night.

The school board met Friday and
passed upon the. usual monthly
routine.
1t was voted to receive bids for
furnishing the schools with 100 cords
of hard wood and ITO cords of soft
wood.
The committee on schools recon-
mended that no seventh grade be ad-
ded to the West Mankato school. but
that the scholars promoted to that
grade attend the Pleasant Grove
school. This was adopted.
DR.. Davis stated his criticisms Of
the physiology now in use, as already
published in these columns. The
book was behind the times in some Of
rs teachings. About fifty books will
be used the present year. No action
was taken, but it was the general
opinion that a change should be made
if it did not cause a hardship to the
scholars.
The committee on property and eX-
pense was authorized to purchase
supplies.
Supt. Kenaston announced the ap-
pointment of Miss Belle Goodwin as
substitute for Miss Nellie Mills dur
ing the latter's sickness.
The matter of having a holiday on
Sept. 18th when the Wild West will
exhibit here, was left with Supt.
Kenaston.
Supt. Kenaston advocated the
adoption of the vertical system of
penmanship in the schools, and the
board decided to adopt the system for
the present year, at least.
Among the bills allowed was one
for S11.50 from the New York bank
which has been paying the interest
coupons on bonds, for it's services.

MANKATO FANS WENT WILD.

1t is dangerous for the regulations
of professional baseball teams to go
monkeying with some ofsthe country
mines, who play ball for glory. The
disastrous defeat of the Minneapolis
boys by the Morris team three weeks
ago should have taught the Western
league teams that the gopher anna
teurs are not to be trifled with, but
nevertheless the Detroit tigers stop
ped of at Mankato yesterday to have
some fun with the home nine. They
had it in plenty, but they got it
where theuchicken got the ak. The
tigers played desperately, but were
defeated by score of tot.

going to Milwaukee, tarried in Vino

THE TRAIN WILL STAY.

A passing rumor published in a
local sheet a few days ago stated
that the train which the Milwaukee
people put on short time ago, arriv-
ing here at 4 p. m. and departing at 7
p. m. would be taken off. There was
no foundation for it whatever.
Agent Moore had talk with officials
who were here last evening, and they
stated that they had not thought of
such thing, and the fact that a
change of time has been made and
the train not touched shows that
nothing of the kind was intended.
The officials of that road recognize
the Importance of that train to Man
kato and manifest a willingness to
do anything possible for the accom-
mediation of the general public here,
and an unwaTranted publication of
that kind is an act Of injustice to
them.

SMITH DIVORCE TRIAL.

The trial of the divorce case of Ella
E. Smith VS.. Ozias P. Smith was be-
gun before Judge Severance Friday
noon, and is expected to occupy several
days. Thos. Hughes and A. R. Pau
appear for the plaintiff, and Lorin
Cray and H. L. Schmitt for the de-
PENDANT. The ground for the action
is alleged to be cruel and inhuman
treatment. 1t is alleged that the de-
PENDANT, though worth $4,000, has
caused the plaintiff to do kinds of
farm work usually done by men, and
has been abusive toward her. 1t is
said that the defense will spring some
sensational evidence.
