ers being present. Most of the Supts.
were on leave of absence of two weeks
or more AMI so pay extensive visits to
various parts of the south. Minneso-
ia had a good delegation headed by
State Supt. Pendergast, and secured
the Presidency in Supt. Gilbert, of
ST. Paul.
Everywhere were found men and
bodies of men from the north who are
making their homes in most every
state to the evident advantages of
their health and with promise of
prosperity. Land which will raise
most anything is woefully cheap, the
cost of living well is very small, the
climate and soil are in general favora-
bic, while the opportunities for
school, society, church and business
vary with the community. In Flori-
da, now started in it's spring growth,
visitors meet the balm Of spring time
in summer garb, many invalids are
recuperating under the southern sun
Speed the day when we shall know
the southland better, for its future
greatness is assured. From the curse
of slavery, war, shiftless and ignorant
labor and the degradation put upon
labor, the New South will come forth
resurrected bye and bye.

MANKATO COUNCIL INSPECTED
Grand Council Officers and Other
Visitors Present Last Night.

Mankato Council No. 1920, Royal
Arcanum, held an important meeting
Tuesday, it being the date set for
the annual visit of officers of the
grand council of Minnesota. The fol-
lowing visitors were present: Grand
Secretary E. j. Davenport, Regent
Mckinney, of Minnehaha council,
Messrs. Hall and Stanford, all of Min
neapolis, Regent W. W. Cooley, of
Minneopa lodge, ST. Paul, and Dis
trict Deputy Quiggle, of Lake Crys-
tai.
A candidate was given the degrees,
the visiting brothers doing the work
with much impressiveness.
Refreshments were served later,
and couple of hours were devoted 10
a social session, during which Mr..
Cooley entertained his hearers with
some fine selections. He is an excel
lent elocutionist, and possessed of a
wonderful memory, which probably
stands him in good stead as chief of
the Theil Detective Agency.
The evening passed off very pleas
antly, and the visit from the stran-
gers was enjoyed by all.

IN the senate yesterday, motion
to take up the tariff bill was defeated
by vote of 80 to %, five silver Repub-
licans voting with the Democrats and
Populists. Doubtless this ends the
matter before that body. Senator Sher-
man severely criticised the inaction of
congress, saying it was crime against
the country and civilization. The
silver monometallists have fully de-
monstrated that it is rule or ruin
with them, and the country should
know where to place the RESPONSE
bility. The vote disposes most
thoroughly of the assertion which the
Democrats have put forth, that the
Republicans controlled the senate and
that they effected combination with
the Populists for that purpose. No
such combination was ever made, and
the Republicans will not control that
body until March 4th, 1897.

OUT at Mitchell, S. D., the citizens
tried to buy out paper, which il is
said had been abusing some of the
people of that CITY, and hurting the
name and business of the city. Fail
ing to do this, they cleaned the office
out, burning the fixtures and melting
the type, after having deposited the
price of the office with an outside
party. An effective way surely, but
one not promotive to the best ideas of
law and order in a community.

A FINE DISPLAY.

The display of eighteen pictures
which j. R, Snow made at the photo
grapher's convention at ST.. Paul last
week is attracting much attention in
Lamm & Morehart's show window.
1t is fine collection.
The work is what is known as pla-
tino work, and is an advanced stage of
the photographers art. The photo
graphs are those of Mankato people,
some representing groups in Greek
posing, and others busts, full lengths,
etc. In fact, the variety covers
pretty nearly all styles of pictures
taken in modern photograph CALLER
les, and Mr.. Snow has reason to be
proud of the exhibit, which won much
praise at the convention.

The aldermen have agreed inform
ally today to accept the proposition of
l.. e. Watkins, of Boston, to light the
city, do commercial lighting, furnish
power, and construct and operate a
street railway system. This will be
telegraphed to Mr.. Watkins late this
afternoon or this evening. The alder
men have been feeling the pulse of
the people and find it to be decidedly
in favor of prompt action in accept
ing the proposition.
Aid. Andrews was out of the city
today, but was expected home at 400
p. M, and with his consent the dis
patch will be sent, as the other alder
men are agreed. Mr.. Watkins will
also be asked to come to Mankato and
complete the details, such as furnish
ing the bonds, etc.
There has been some question as to
who Mr.. Watkins is, but Engineer
Haynes states that he must be re-
putable business man, or the Engineer
ang Neacs would not be carrying his ad-
vertisement, which it does. Mr..
Watkins advertises the "Walkins

SECRETARY CARLISLE says he would
like to see a senator elected from
Kentucky, who is in accord with
Democratic principles as declared by
the constitutional authorities of the
party, state and national. This is all
right for Mr.. Carlisle. But it is get
ting difficult to tell just what the de-
clared principles of the Democratic
party are. If Senator Blackburn is
not now in accord with the declared
principles of his party whatever they
may be, he may be nearerin accord with
them next July than is Mr.. Carlisle.
Democratic principles, like the rear
of mule, are ticklish things to deal
with.

The people who go from. the country as del
gates to the convention at Minneapolis On the
oath of March will probably find that they have
no business there, that the slate made by the
wire pullers will go through-Buffalo Journal
AS the majority of the delegates
are from the country, they ought to
be able to run things independent of
the alleged slate if they wish to.
The convention is large one, which
will make it thoroughly representa-
tive in character. 1t should be the
same in it's work, and "the people
who go there from the country"
should see that it is.

BOUND OVER.
Joseph F. orlando Valves a Pre-
Iiminary Examination.

The hearing in the gambling charge
against Joseph f. orlando came up
in the municipal court Wednesday
The defendants attorney, Byron
Hughes, moved that an adjournment
of eight or ten days be had, to allow
certain witnesses to be secured. The
defense did not show that it had en-
deavored to secure the presence of
these witnesses today, and the court
denied the motion. The state was
ready to proceed, and the defendant
waived the preliminary examination
and was bound over to the grand jury.
His bond was placed at $500, and
was signed by Geo. Peter Hoerr as
surety. Fourteen witnesses for the
state drew their SLIP each.

Two Milwaukee Road Engineers at
Work Running Lines.

In accordance with the promise Of
the Milwaukee road, two engineers
arrived from z Minneapolis, ia j..
Hankinson and Fred A. Randall, and
began this afternoon to run lines to
find out whether the road can enter
the proposed new union depot. They
came here with the expectation that
one days work would be sufficient. but
find that they have three or four days
work before them, so Mr. Randall
states. They have nothing definite
enough this afternoon to form ajudg-
ment as to the practicability of the
scheme.

BARN DESTROYED.

The fire department was called out
at 2:45 o'clock Wednesday by "a fire
on Madison avenue, between Fifth
and Sixth streets, although the alarm
was sent in from box 25. The barn
was nearly consumed before the alarm
was sent in, and burned to the
ground. The loss is small as the
building was not valuable. Cause of
fire unknown.
