SUING FOR ASSESSMENTS.
A Test Case to be Tried in the 1uni-
cipal Court.

On Friday the suit of the Mankato
& Northeastern railway company
against Geo. E. Keene will come up
in the municipal court for hearing on
a demurrer. The suit is one to re-
cover the fourth, fifth, sixth and
seventh assessments on 800 share of
stock in the Mankato & Northeastern
railway company. Seven assessments
of $40 each were levied on the stock,
and Mr.. Keene, in common with most
of the stockholders, did not pay all of
the assessments. He paid the first
three, and the company sues to collect
the other four.
The present case is test one, and
if the company wins, it will COM
mence actions to recover from the
other stockholders who are behind.
The outcome will be watched with
much interest. The company has
never begun the construction of the
road planned.

MAYOR WEAyER's PLAN.
He Would Have the Tramps Work in
a Stockade.


Mayor Weaver was in the city Monday
and had considerable to say on the
tramp question. He reiterated what
he told Chief Yates on the subject
yesterday, and said that he would
never consent to have the tramps put
at work on the streets. as he said that
they would not work there. He gave
his plan for dealing with the tramp
problem as follows:
''The council should have the old
pound removed to the city lot on Rock
street, where the well is, and there
erect strong stockade thirty feet
square and high enough to prevent
escape. The council can do this at it's
meeting tonight, and tomorrow morn
ing we will put the tramps at work.
l will appoint a muscular guard, who
will not be afraid Of the hobOs, and.
they will be set to pounding up hard
heads for use in street repairs. 1
would then have a large sign board
placed near the outskirts of the city
beside each railroad track, informing
tramps that all such will be promptly
sent to the stockade and put to work.
SIN this manner, the tramp problem
will be solved, and in two or three
weeks there will be no more of this
class of people on our streets. 1 will
never permit the tramps to be set at
work on the streets, however, as they
would not work and it would be USE
less expense to the city"

WHAT 10 TO MEANS.

There are great many people who
do not understand what is meant by
Is to l, and now that the Chicago con-
vention has declared in favor Of the
free coinage OF silver at that ratio,
they are anxious to know. The di-
rector Of the mint, Preston, is over
whelmed with letters from every Sec
tion of the country for an explanation
of it's meaning, and for the informa-
ton of all gives out the following:
Free and unlimited coinage Of
silver, as used in the Chicago plat
form, means that our minis will re-
ceive and coin into money or bars, free
of charge, all the silver of standard
fitness which may be presented, I'M
less by legislation the amount be
limited to American silver only. The
term, 16 to l, means that the pure
silver in the standard dollar weighs
about 16 times as much as the pure
gold in the gold dollar. A silver dol
lar now contains 9Th grains of silver,
while gold dollar contains 234 grains
of gold. At the time Of establishment
of the United States minis, congress
fixed the ratio between the silver and
gold to be used in the respective coins
as fifteen ounces Of silver to one of
gold. Later on, it was found that
this ratio placed too high value on
silver and the ratio was changed to 16
to l. At that time the French were
using ratio of Is! to l. At the
present time the value of silver in the
markets of the world is in the ratio of
gold; that is, one ounce of gold will
buy thirty ounces of silver.

THE Or1AHA ENJOINED.
Did Not Intend to Go on nr. Flet-
cker's lot, Anyway. sp

Tuesday Attorney B. G. Taylor,
F., representing L. G. M. Fletcher, made
. a motion before Judge Severance, and
procured an order to show cause, why
the court should not set aside the re-
port of the appraisers, and why a
temporary Injunction pending the
appeal from the order appointing
the commissioners should not be
made, restraining the Omaha road
from entering upon Mr.. FletCher's
land. Attorney Cray argued the
case on behalf of the railroad.
The ground for asking that the re-
port of the appraisers be set aside is
that the appeal which has been taken
stays all proceedings, and that the
appraisers had no right to file report
including the Fletcher property pend
| ing the appeal. 1t is not intended to
set aside the report, only in SO far as
it refers to Mr.. Fletcher's property.
The order is made returnable Satur-
day.at 400 D. NJ, when the matter will
be further argued.
From those in charge of the work
along the Omaha right of way we
learn that they had not intended
to enter upon Mr.. Fletcher's property
until after the appeal was settled,
and that they can get along very nice
ly without doing so. There is plenty
of other work to do before the appeal
will be heard.
Mr.. Fletcher states that the ap-
praised valuation of the two acres
which the road wants from his land
is very much lower than the price
paid for some other land, in proper
tion to location. He feels that he
has not been treated fairly in making
the award. He has done $4,000 worth
of street grading on the fiat and would
soon have had fine business street
| there.
Engineer Sawyer states that the
crossings in West Mankato will soon
be made, and will be good crossings.
All work is moving along smoothly,
and IT'S to 200 men are working.
A force of stone cutters are at work
near the present Omaha depot getting
stone ready for the new depot. They
have been at work for three weeks,
and still have large amount OF
rough stone to work upon.
The Omaha road is building side.
walk past it's property on Spring
street, above Fourth. The city is
grading for the walk, and is using the
dirt to fill in the street above. The
improvement will be good one.

Lake Crystal Items.

The funeral of L. O. Hunt occurred
Tuesday at 3 o'clock. He was
76 years of age and was one of the old
settlers, coming here in 1854 and built
the home from which the funeral
services were held. He was respected
by everyone who knew him; good
citizen and companionable man, in
short he attained life's great end: he
died an honest man. The services
were conducted by Rev. o. F. Jones,
an Episcopal minister. A large num-
Der of friends from the adjoining
country and Mankato attended.
Last evening Sunday at the Bap-
fist church, E. T. Cressy delivered a
lecture illustrated by stereoptican
views, of the life and crucifixion of
Christ. 1t was we'll attended and
very good; the lectures will be contin-
ued on Monday, Tuesday and Wednes
day evenings.

THE ROAD LEVY.
The County Board Preparing to Re
deem Bonds,

The county board Tuesday was
at work on the tax levy for the cur
rent year, and in order to help meet
the $4,000 of court house bonds which
fall due next year has decided to make
no levy for road and bridge purposes,
but to apply the $4,000 saved in this
way to the paying of bonds.
The board declared forfeited Robt.
Buttemer's contract for building a
culvert and grading the road at Fitz-
simmons ravine, and awarded
the contract to L. r.
Coughlan at the same figure
on condition the work be commenced
by July goth and completed by Sept.
1st.
The board of audit presented it's re-
port.
The committee on Gunthers'hill re-
ported that it had approved the
plans and contract for it's improve
ment.
Judge Shissler has concluded
that whenever tramps are arrested in
Mankato, they shall be sentenced to
hard labor on the streets. This is
about the quickest way to solve the
tramp nuisance problem.-AmbOq
Herald.
S. J. Wright has disposed of his
interest in the Mankato Fruit Com
mission company to the other mem
bers, who will continue the business
as heretofore. Mr. Wright has not
yet decided what business TO engage
in, but we hope that this move will
not take him from Mankato, where
he has won the esteem of all.
