CAN BREAK THE TIE.
Judge Severance Holds That the
Mayor Can Do This,

Since the last meeting Of the coun-
Gil the question Of the mayors power
to cast the deciding vote in case Of a
| tie in the election Of officers has been
| discussed on the street more or less.
The mayor has that power whenever
there is tie on any other question.
| The charter reads that the mayor
shall in all cases Of tie cast the de-
Gliding vote. 1t also prescribes that
the vice president of the council shall
be elected by ballot, but does not say
how the city attorney shall be elect
ed. Mayor Pfau has hitherto held
that the mayor could not vote On the
election of officers. He has held in
the first place, that when the vote is
by ballot the result cannot be known
until after the ballot has been closed
and the result declared, in which case
the mayors is not secret vote,
as contemplated by the charter.
Attorney Brown, of Winona, counsel
for the Chicago & Northwestern road,
who is trying a case in the United
States court, combats Mr.. Pfau's
theory. He says that the same argu-
ment applies to viva vOce vote, in
regard to the vote being closed before
it can be known whether there is a
tie.
Judge Severance was asked in re-
gard to the matter and said that
after having read the charter pro-
visions he was clearly of the opinion
that it is the mayors duty to cast the
deciding vote.
Mayor Pau has been looking the
matter up and has found several cases
where the courts have held against
the position which he has taken, al
though the cases are not exactly SIM
liar. 1t is likely that the mayor will
be convinced by Saturday night
that he has the deciding vote to
cast.
In case the council should again
vote three and three and A. r. Pfau
Jr. should receive three votes, it is
the general opinion that the mayor
will decide the vote in favor Of his
son. 1t may be, however, that there
will be no tie. Should one alderman
break loose from the two candidates
who have been voted for, there would
be no tie, for the mere fact of one
candidate receiving three votes does
not make tie. If three men are vot-
ed for there can be no tie.
The mayor will undoubtedly have
some appointments to make next Sat-
urday night.

EX-PRESIDENT CLEVELAND ia his
speech before the Reform Club in
New York the other night said that
in taking hold of tariff revision at
once and framing a protective tariff
the Republicans have broken faith
with the country. Mr.. Cleveland can
hardly find anything upon which to
base this assertion. If he will turn to
the Republican platform adopted at
ST. Louis, he will find the tariff to be
one of the principle questions put
forth. If he will look over the cam
paign, he will note that the Republic
cans while taking the strong and en-
phatic stand they did on the money
question, did not in the least recede
from their position on the tariff
question, and openly asserted that if
they won, the first work to be done
was the framing of bill that would
provide sufficient revenue to meet the
needs Of the government and give
proper protection to our industries.
This being the case, Mr. Cleveland
cannot consistently say that the
Republicans are breaking faith with
the people. On the other hand they
are strictly carrying out the pledges
made.

SUGAR BEET FACTORY.
What Senator Keller Promised at
WlnOna.

Senator Keller addressed a
meeting Of $50 farmers at Wi
mona last Friday evening and work
ed them up to an enthusiasts
tic pitch with his statements of the
profits to be derived from sugar beet
culture. When he asked how many
would plant beet seed this season,
nearly all stood up. He assured his
hearers that if they would promise to
raise 1,2O0 acres of beets this year, he
would agree to bring two men on the
scene who would put up factory that
would employ $50 men.
Wlnona, he said, was right in the
center of district one hundred miles
square, that was capable Of producing
the finest sugar beets in the country.
The two capitalists that are willing
to make the venture in Winona, he
said, would be in that city within a
week, prepared to talk business. He
thought there would be not less than
three factories erected in the state
this year. The Winona factory pro-
ject is to use the Winona harvester
works for the sugar mill. Senator
Keller said his Chicago men would
furnish half the capital, the present
owners Of the works whould be
expected to take capital for the value
of their plant and the rest would be
raised by subscription.

A probably fatal accident occurred
at ten o'clock Monday forenoon at the
rear of Pond & Jorgenson's store. A
one-stOry addition has been built on
the rear of the building, and the tar
and gravel roof is being put on by the
Mankato Hardware company. A two
by-foura projected over the rear of the
roof, and by means of pulley and rope
the tar and gravel was hoisted to the
roof. At the time mentioned,a young
man was standing on the ground en-
gagged in pulling up bucket of gravel
by means of the pulley. When he had
the bucket nearly to the roof, August
L. Meier, member of the Hardware
company, reachedsover the edge for the
bucket, placing one hand on the two
bY-four TO brace himself. AS he took
hold Of the bucket, the rope gave way,
and he was obliged to throw his
weight on the two-by-four, which
split off and fell. Mr.. Meier fell head
first at an angle from the building,
striking with his head on the edge Of
the area wall and then falling in a
heap in the area. The fall was nearly
sixteen feet, and the force was sutfi-
cient TO break in the skull over the
right eye of the unfortunate man.
The pressure on the brain caused a
paralysis Of the left side.
Meier was carried to DR.. Warmers
office in an unconscious condition, and
his sutferings were relieved as much
as possible. DR.. Warner pronounced
the wound very serious one, and
would not predict the outcome.
Mr.. Meier is a young man about
twenty-five years old, muscular in
build. He was born in Switzerland.
A sad feature of The occurrence is the
fact that Meier was married last
November to MissAnna Siberia sister
of Albert SLIDER, of J & D. Richards
store. They were residing with Mrs.
Meters parents. Mrs. Meier was
nearly Frustrated by the fearful in.
jury which her husband sustained,
Mr.. Meier had been unusually
nervous all the morning, so the other
workmen say, and was impatient to
have the work progress faster. He
has been a hard working man, and
had promising future before him.
His parents and other relatives reside
in Switzerland.
Meier was subsequently removed to
Mr.. Silber's residence, and Drs. War
ner and Harrington trepanned his
skull. Particles of brain oozed up, and
bloody water runs from his
right ear. The chances are de-
cidedly against Meters recovery
on account of the conclusion
and laceration of the brain. Should
he survive two days, it is feared that
Inflammation will set in, which would
make his case desperate. He has
been able to answer few questions.

REVIEWING the business situation
for the past week Henry Clews says:
"The prospects of the general bust
ness of the county are steadily i'm
proving. The tariff is not viewed
with the dissatisfaction in the COM
mercial community that is expressed
in some other circles. The senate is
showing more desire to reach an early
conclusion upon it; and when the bill
is enacted the last important obstacle
to trade will be removed and business
will revive in spite of all theoretic diff
ferences about lates Of duty. The eX-
port trade remains active, the ship
ments for March having exceeded
those for the same month of any year
in the history Of the country. Con-
tracts have been made for shipping
large amounts of produce so soon as
canal navigation opens: SO that the
activity of this branch of trade is
likely to be continued. The light
stocks of wheat in Europe and the ex-
pected failure of the French and Rus
sian crops are factors in favor of full
prices for wheat: which would bene-
fit this country, especially should the
weather conduce to some recovery of
our wheat crop prospects. Taken as
a whole, the aspects Of the present
outlook appear, to my view, very
favorable TO steady improvement in
the market for securities, and we re-
gard the prospects of buyers as being
more promising than those of sellers"

WOLF BOUNTIES REDUCED
County Auditor Gunders Receives
Instructions on This Subject.
The County Board riust Authorize
the Payment of Bounties.

County Auditor Gunders has receiv-
ed from State Auditor Dunn copy Of
the bill reducing the bounty 10 be
paid on female wolves from SIS to S.
and on cubs from S. to 81, and repeal
ing the law requiring the certificates
Of the town boards where the wolves
were secured. The auditor is again
made the judge of wolf carcasses. The
new law also requires that the entire
carcaSseS Of the wolves be turned over
TO the county auditors, instead of the
scalps or heads. Auditor Dunn also
encloses letter OF Instructions re-
garding the bounty law, in which he
says:
'The main changes are:
''First. Your county commissioners
must adopt resolution to pay
bounty on wolves. If your county
commissioners have not adopted such
resolutions pay no bounty until that
is done.
OeCOuu. uG SuUlIS CdICdSS IuuSu
be presented to you.
Third. Bounty on any full grown
wolf killed during the months from
January to May is five dollars, at any
other time of the year three dollars,
on a cub at all times of the year two
dollars"
The state pays two-thirds Of the
bounty and the county one-third. In
order to allow Blue Earth county
hunters an equal chance with the
farmers boys of other counties, the
county board should at it's next meet
ing pass the necessary resolution to
authorize the payment of the bounty.
During the past two weeks three
farmers have come in with wolf
filters and been refused the. bounty.
A Mcpherson farmer brought in seven
cubs, Garden City man five,
and Cambria man two.
The reduction in the bounty will
take away the inducement for wolf
farming, which has undoubtedly been
carried on in many counties.

A CERTAIN EMIGRATION BILL.

The German government has
long looked with something of
displeasure upon the large stream of
emigration from that country to the
United States, and has at various
times undertaken to discourage
it, but without any permanent sue
cess. This stream of emigration has
taken in it some of the best blood of
the masses of the empire. The at
tempt has been made to divert it to
the German colonies, especially those
in Africa, but this has been impos-
sible, because of their provision for
universal military service, and one OF
the chief of the many reasons for
emigration has been to escape mill
tary service. Recognizing it failure
along this line the government has
taken new line, and now has pend
ing in the reichstag an emigration
bill that has for it's design the turning
of the German emigration from this
country to their own colonies. In
fact, says the New York Mail and Er-
press, the new bill contemplates
something more. 1t aims at the
founding of German colonies of an
agricultural and industrial character
in South and Central American
countries, where the autonomous and
uniform makeup of such colonies will
not be interfered with politically.
This policy was recently Endorsed, it is
said, by five out of the six members
present at Cabinet meeting; and
there is consequently great boom in
colonization societies.
"The object of the new plan, ap-
parently, is twofold. The German
governments sentiments toward us
have long been the reverse of friendly.
We have absorbed so much of her
young blood that the effect on the
army has been noticeable. This the
Kaiser resents, as he reSents the
greater measure of prosperity which
falls to the thrifty German under our
system of government. He is anxious
to found these colonies because their
population would still maintain their
allegiance to the crown, and every
man could be drafted for the army
reserve in case of need. He is also de-
sirous of expressing in every possible
way his displeasure at our protective
tariff policy.
"We can afford to view the main
purpose of this emigration bill with
equanimity. The poorer classes of
army-ridden Germany are in close
touch with their relatives in the
United States. They are familiar
with the opportunities here, and the
ACHIEVEMENTS of their fellow country
men under Republican institutions.
They realize that the German is
second to no allen in his power of as
similating American ideas and GUS
toms. The census Of 1890 showed
that there were at that time in this
country 2,7S4,S94 persons of German
birth-three times the English-born
strength and one-third more than our
population from Ireland.
''The more intelligent German is
not likely to be hoodwinked into lend
ing himself to the Kaiser's scheme,
and developing territory in countries
where all the conditions of life are at

PLEASING ENTERTAINMENT.
Given BY Young Girls of the Penn

highly enjoyable entertainment
was held last evening in the lecture
room of the Penn Avenue Baptist
church under the auspices of II. A.
Benson's class of young ladies of the
Sabbath school. There are seventeen
girls in the class, all of whom are
about 16 years of age, and the manner
in which they entertained the unusu-
ally large number of people present
would have reflected credit upon young
women of much more mature age
After the rendition of programme,
including a piano duet by Miss Aida
Atkinson and Miss Edna Judd, recita-
tions by Miss Rebecca Finberg, a vio-
lin solo by Walter Gouger, a recitation
by Miss Maud Estelle and a contralto
solo by Margaret Jones, the girls of the
class went through an exercise en-
titled the "Shepherdess Drill" The
participants were attired in empire
gowns, and as they executed the vari-
Gus movements with precision and har-
mony, in a large space that had been
left clear in the center of the floor, the
effect was beautiful.
Miss Eva Short acted as drill mas
ter and Miss Grace Rose as pianist.
After the drill refreshments were
served by the young ladies.
