owners, as the street requires scarcely
any grading. His idea is to have a
roadway thirty four feet wide and
-boulevards thirteen feet wide on each
side. The outer lfhe of the side
walks would be- ten feet from the

handsome street, and the property
owners would 5rnake no mistake by
putting their names on the petition.

be time enoughito do the work this
fall if the petition is circulated at

SOME CHANGES.
New Teachers at the Normal School
This Fall.
State Normal Board Will Meet in
rlankato.

The attendance at the Normal
school this month is slightly greater
than during July and August. The
fall term begins Oct. 1st, and a large
increase is expected at that time.
Several changes have taken place in
the faculty. Prof. Fred L. Holtz, who
has had charge of the work in physics
and chemistry for several years, will
take his departure tomorrow on a
years leave of absence, which he will
spend in Germany, perfecting his edu-
cation in the sciences. He will first 60
to Elbridge, New York, and from
there to New York City, and will sail
Sept. 25th on the Veendam for Ger
many. He will spend six months at
the university of Berlin, and three
months at Munich, and will return to
Mankato in time to resume his duties
at the Normal Sept. 1st, 1898. He is
bright and ambitious young in
sUructor, and his many friends will
wish him pleasant year.
Prof. Peter Yader, accompanied by
his wife, arrived Tuesday from In
diana, and will take up Prof. Holtz's
work during the coming year. He is
a graduate of the Terra Haute, Ind,
Normal school and of the Indiana
university, and has done work at the
Chicago university. He comes well
recommended.
Miss Minnie Guernsey has resigned
as member OF the faculty and will
take her departure for Duluth Oct.
1st. She has oeen assistant in the
grammar department. for several
years and has done good work, and
her friends will regret her departure.
Miss Grace Clark will succeed Miss
Guernsey as assistant in the grammar
apartment. She is graduate of the
Normal and has had experience in
teaching, and will no doubt fill the
vacancy with satisfaction.
Miss Durrah has not yet arrived.
Miss Daisy Sheehan has returned
and taken up her work as assistant in
the intermediate department.
Harry Orsborn will continue his
work as assistant in geography and
mathematics. He has been giving
field lessons at South Bend and along
the lie Sueur river.
Carl J. Ulrich will also continue his
work as assistant in biology and
chemistry.
The new books for the general Ii
brary, some $50 volumes, have arrived
and are being classified by the libra
rian, Miss Alice Farr. The books cost
between 5000 and 800.
Mr.. Haigh, assisted by Mr.. Wildes,
has been collecting specimens for the
school from the neighboring lakes dur
ing the summer and has made some
extensive additions to the supply.
The state normal board has adopted
the plan of holding it's meetings at
each of the schools in turn instead of
at St. Paul, and the expense of each
meeting will fall upon the school
where it is held instead of upon the
four collectively. The next meeting
is to be held at Winona, and Mankato
will afterwards come in for it's turn.
In this way, the board can observe
the needs of the schools and the
quality of work being done, to better
ADVANTAGE.

SOCIAL ANARCHY.

Debs' social Democracy seems TO DE
largely a hotbed of anarchy. and could
be more aptly called social anarchy.
At a meeting of one of the bodies OF
that order in Chicago few days ago,
the rankest kind of anarchistic doc:
trine was put forth, as result OF COM
ment on the shooting by the deputy
sheriff's in Pennsylvania last week.
No one denies the right OF an assem-
blage to criticise or condemn the &C
tion of the Pennsylvania sheriff, but
to follow it up with anarchistic moutn-
ings, is going little too far. 1t is
not surprising, however, that sucn
rank anarchy should crop out in that
organization, as has been exhibited,
when one considers the bold state
ments that Debs has recently made
regarding anarchy, and his laudatlon
of the five anarchists who were hung
in Chicago, and declaring the day
would come when they will be looked
upon as heroes. The Chicago adjunct
declared that the torch and the sword
ought to be applied, and that million
aires should be killed without mercy,
These radical utterances together
with those of Debs, will have the eff
feet, however, of arresting the growth
of that body among the more con-
sentative workingmen, who have no
desire to mix up with anarchy, and
condemn it wherever it shows its
poisonous head.

baby be changed to carmine. Green
is believed to be more popular
color.

Health Officer Hielscher was
called last evening to attend case
of scarlet fever at 1924 North Fifth
street, it being an eight year old boy
in the family of Anton Kohl. The
case is light one. the house has
been quarantined, and it is not
thought that there is any danger
from it's spreading. The boy has been
attending the German Catholic school.
The case may have been caused by
the cases in North Mankato. There
are no other cases of contagion in the
city, which is an excellent showing.

growth.
