WITHDRAW APPLICATIONS.
City Attorney Pau on the Liquor
License Applications.

City Attorney Pau was asked this
morning as to the legality to the pro-
posed action of the council to grant
new liquor licenses under the $500
rate. He stated that the city has
now probably received such official
notice of the population under the
last census that any.licenses hereafter
granted must be under the 81, 900 rate.
The fact that applications have been
received does not effect the case, as
they cannot be looked upon as por-
tion of the process of granting the
license under the old rate. The
granting of the new licenses would
require the payment of 200 each if
the licenses were taken out. 1t would
be question which the courts
would have TO determine whether the
granting of the applications would
not cancel the present licenses, and
force the applicants to pay 81, 900 each
in order to continue in business. In
view of this, he expects that the
saloon keepers will withdraw their
applications for licenses before Fri
day night, and that no further action
will be necessary. He didn't think
that he would ever be called upon to
give an opinion on the subject to the
council, as there would be no longer
any occasion for action.

SALvATIONlSTS AND BLOO1ERS

Mankato has passed an ordinance in
regard to- nuisances, and the question
now arises, and has caused some dis
cussiOn, as to how far it's provisions
would reach. Among other things
the ordinance forbids any person to
appear in the streets or public places
in dress not belonging to his or her
sex. At late meeting of the council
the aldermen got into a discussion as
to whether it would be unlawful, I'M
der this ordinance, for lady bicycle
riders or eQuestrians, to appear on the
streets in boomers. The matter was
referred to City Attorney Pau who
decided that it would be point for
the jury to consider. Now, in law. a
nuisance is anything that produces in
convenience, damage, annOys or gives
trouble and veXation, and very easy
solution Of the matter would seem to
be this: If Mankato aldermen are an
nOyed and troubled by the appearance
OF ladies on the streets clothed in
boomers, then let them decide that
the ordinance applies in the case and
insist upon rigid enforcement of it's
provision. Another weighty question
with which the MankatO councilmen
are wrestling just now is, will the
nuisance ordinance passed by them.

The Mankato Base Ball Association
held meeting yesterday and recon-
sidered its determination not to join
league, and voted to go into one now
being formed. The cities which are
to compose this league are Omaha,
Council Bluffs, Lincoln, Sioux City,
Mankato, Winona and Lacrosse. The
initiative toward forming this league
has been taken at Sioux City, and
during his recent visit there Capt.
Messerly had conversation with the
projectors, and the action yesterday
was the result. There is thought to
be little doubt but that this league
will be formed, and if it is then Man
kato is sure to have series of big
games during the coming season. This
city will be the smallest in the
league, and therefore there will be
nothing to lose, as larger gate receipts
are to be expected in all of the other
cities, although Mankato is good
No guarantees are required, and the
games will be played on percentages.
Ii Mankato's club sho d little
better than the other clubs the local
company will secure the largest share
of the receipts everywhere that games
are played. The season opens May
1st, and the Mankato club is COM
plete with the exception of one or
two players. A meeting of represen-
tatives of the several cities will be
held later.
Nothing has yet been done about
securing new ball park.
The new articles of Incorporation
have been completed by Attorney
Comstock and were approved yester-
day, and will be filed with the secre-
tary of state as soon as all of the sig
natures are received. The name of
the association is to be the Mankato
Base Ball Association, and its purpose
will be to maintain base ball clubs
and other organizations for athletic
games.t to purchase or lease real estate,
hire players, and acquire and main
tain race courses, and conduct trot-
ting and running races. The capital
stock is to be $4,000, divided into
shares'of $40 each, and the limit of
Indebtedness is placed at ST, 500. The
organization is to commence Feb.

Mankato Plumbing Company: Our
city should by all means have an cleo

to pay a small additional price for
street lights. A good electric car line
well operated will be of great benefit
to MankatO; will advance the price of
property in the suburbs of the city,
and will be the means of many homes

M. B. Wood: The city of Mankato
might 60 farther and fare worse than
to put in an electric railway on the
terms you suggest. personally would
be in favor of it. The people have
submitted to the payment of several
sums without rebellion, for purposes
which were very meagre in results.

were paid they promised great bene-

ITS CHARTER ATTACKED.
Sensational Demurrer Filed in the South

Sensational Demurrer Filed in the South
ern Pacific Case.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 2l.--Attorney
General Fitzgerald has filed a sensa-
tional demurrer in the United States
circuit court in the case of the South
ern Pacific company against the board
of railroad commissioners of California.
The document raises points of vital in
terest to the Southern Pacific company
as the attorney general attacks the va
lidity of the railroad company's charter
and denies its right to operate its
branch roads in this state. The orig
inal suit was brought to enjoin the
railroad commission from enforcing its
schedule of freights reducing grain
rates per cent. In the preliminary
decision rendered by Judge McKenna
these grain rates were declared to be
unreasonable and the temporary in
junction granted when the suit insti-
tuted was ordered to continue until the
case was tried on its merits.
