BAD EARIBAULT TAN.
Gets Eighty-Five Days on a Serious
OffenSe.

r. w. Sovey, claiming to be a brick
mason and Faribault man, was ar
rested Monday on the charge of
indecent exposure of person, on COM
plant of Lizzie Feldbusch, thirteen
year old pupil of the German Luther
an school. He pleaded not guilty and
claimed never to have before seen
Lizzie or the other girls who confront
ed him as witnesses. A number of
Lutheran school girls, ranging in age
from nine to fifteen years, were pre-
sent in the court room, and
Amelia Schroeder, Lizzie Feldbusch
aud Lydia Deuber were sworn as
witnesses. They claimed that Sovery
made the exposure of his person in
front of the school house this noon
and that he made indecent proposals
to another older girl.
The court found Sovey guilty and
fined him S75 and costs, in default of
which he went to Jail for eighty-five
days. The police claim that Sovey
committed similar offenses several
times before during the last.year. He
will probably be rearrested on his re-
lease,

ried, and the committee consists of
Mr.. Klein, o. w. Schmidt and A. j.
Busch.
w. M. Farr presented circular to
be read, saying that it was being en-
closed in letters sent out from
Winona. The circular calls attention
to spring fair to be held there May
Goth and 9th. The farmers will
make fancy stock exhibit and
buyers will be present. The manu-
featuring establishments of Winona
would also make an exhibit of their
products. Mr.. Farr thought that
something on this line would be well
for Mankato.
M. G. Willard moved that a COM
mittee with Mr.. Farr as chairman be
appointed to promote the scheme.
This was carried, and the chair
appointed Mr.. Farr, John Nyquist
and E. f. Soaring as such committee.

ANENT the opposition of some of
the New Englanders in congress, to
some of the schedules in the tariff
bill which are little more favorable
to the west than has previously been
the case, ex-senator Blair hits the
nail on the head when he says that
New England wants prosperity more
than any particular favoritism in the
tariff bill. "Let them" continued
Mr.. Blair, "make a stariff law that
will restore prosperity to the west
and the south, and New England will
look out for herself" That is the
true ring in regard to the tariff ques-
tion, and surveys it in broadmind-
ed way. The tariff law in itself alone
will not bring prosperity, but it
brings about conditions that allows
business to operate advantageously
causing prosperity to follow. If Ger.
tain portions of the country prosper.
other portions are bound to feel the
result to a greater or less extent, and
especially is this true of the east if
the west is prosperous.

know that he will rebuild.
Mr.. Wiltgen is already doing bust
ness, using his large barn at his
residence, having secured more
horses, and orders left at Dick
Hammett's office, next to Young &
Monson's store, will receive prompt

pairing plans for the new building.
Mr.. Wiltgen desires to purchase
several spans Of driving horses,
weighing about 1900 pounds. He will

STABBING ARRAY.
Henry Thomas and Henry Whalen
Badly Cut Up.
Row On North Front Street Satur-
day Night.

A stabbing affair occurred about
midnight on North Front street Sat-
urday night, in which two men were
somewhat injured, but not seriously.
By eye witness we are informed that
Thomas had been drinking heavily
during the evening and was
much intoxicated. He had been
ordered out of Kleinschmidt's saloon,
but returned. On going out again, he
was followed out by Henry and three
companions.
Whalen seemed to be.the aggressor,
and his companions seemed to be urg-
ing him on. Thomas drew pocket
knife to defend himself and slashed
Whalen on the neck. In the meele,
Thomas was cut in the left wrist and
right elbow. At this juncture the
police were called for and on Officer
Kelley's approach the others ran away,
leaving Thomas, who was locked up.
In municipal court Monday fore
noon, Thomas pleaded guilty to the
charge of being drunk, and paid fine
of 1885. He Immediately proceeded
to secure a warrant for Henry Whalen,
on the charge of assault. Whalen
lives in West Mankato and could not
be found today. The sidewalk where
the trouble occurred is saturated with
blood, showing the encounter to have
been desperate one. Bad blood is
said to have existed between the
parties for some time.

HENRY CLEws says that the move
ment in gold abroad has reacted to
more moderate dimensions, and that
the shipments for the past week have
been much less than expected. The
imports of foreign merchandise con-
tinues large. These large imports, he
says, would naturally tend to bring
about shipments of gold. The pros
poets of cereal crops are beginning to
attract attention, but as yet, as a
matter of course, the reports are very
unsatisfactory.

THE Revieoo of Saturday evening
calls attention to the necessity of hav.
ing certain dilapidated and unused
structures in the alleys adjacent to
the most valuable business property
in the city removed. This is a timely
suggestion that ought to receive the
serious consideration of every pro.
perty owner in the heart of the city.
The continuation of such structures
is standing menace to valuable pro.
perty along our business streets, and
all danger from this source in case of
conflagration ought to be reduced to
the smallest possible extent by their
removal. We understand that Mr..
Dougherty will start the movement
in this direction by removing the old
barn in the rear ofPond & Jurgensen's
place of business, and that Mrs. Burt
may remove the old building in the
rear of the Mankato House block.
This is a good beginning, and it
should be followed up by others un-
til all the old shacks and buildings,
that are a standing menace to the
safety Of property are obliterated. If
the work is not properly followed up,
then as the RevaeaC says, the ''authori-
ties entrusted with the public welfare
should act promptly and vigorously. u

CHANGE OF TIME.

A change of time went into effect
on the Milwaukee road today. The
evening train now arrives at 1850 p.
M, instead of 500 p. M, and the eve
ming train leaves at 500 p. m. instead
of 1905 p. m. The change in the latter
is made in order to make connections
with the Omaha train from the twin
cities, so that people living along the
line and returning from the twin
cities can reach their homes the
same night. This will prove great
convenience.

Green Hallock wrote the following in
dictment against the nations o.
Europe because of their attitude
toward Greece, and it seems to apply
with equal force regardingstheir at
titude today:
The age of bargaining, said Burke,
Has come today the turbaned Turk,
(Sleep, Richard of the lion heart!
Sleep on, nor from your cerements start)
Is Englands friend and fast ally;
The Moslem tramples on the Greek,
And on the cross and alter stone,
And Christendom looks tamely on,
And hears the Christian maiden shrek,
And sees the Christian father die;
And not saber blow is given
For Greece and fame, for faith and heaven,
By Europes craven chivalry.

THE SEALING SEASON.
Mr.. Lansing in Argument At Halifax, Goes
MinuteIy Into the Subject.

Halifax, N. S., SPIT. 14.-Mr. Lansing
continuing his address, today, con-
sldered the proposition made by the
British brief as to the length of sea-
san for sealing and it's effects on the
computation of estimated catch. He
Joined issue with the contention Of the
british representatives that the sea-
son lasted from the time a vessel en-
tered the sea until she left. The state
ment of the United States is that it
only lasts from the first to the last
lowering day. Then the weather dur
ing the season would have a great eff
rect on the computation of prospective
catch. The time having to be con-
sldered there was no definite basis on
which to work in estimating the catch.
Another argument refuted by Mr..
Lansing was the claim that canoes
were better than boats. This he con-
tradicted and showed that in only one
case was this SO. He spoke of the SUI
perstition of the Indian hunters and
claimed that it was for that reason and
not that they were frightened by the
cruisers that the Indians refused to work
and compelled the vessels to leave the
sea. When the Indians made up their
minds to leave money not induce them
to remain.
Entering upon a discussion Of the
contingencies which effect the specula-
tlon OF seal hunting Mr.. Lansing called
the attention Of the court to the cir
cumstances which alter the situation
such as the smallness of vessels, the
perils OF the voyage. the skill of the
masters and crews, the unreliability of
lndlan hunters, the inclemency of the
weather and the prevalency of fogs and
rains the condition Of the animals ana
the uncertainty Of finding seals. All
these contingencies it was commended
by the United States make impossihle
any method or computing just esti-
mated catch

1t will be remembered that this team,
last year. starting in the middle of the
season. had to take what players it
could get at first and finished in fourth
place. winning more games than it lost:
also that the Coliseum was the arena
OF some of the most exciting and closest
games during the whole season. This
year team will be secured that will
use every possible means, that is honor
able. to land in first place, and when
Gardiner starts out with such an idea,
and with the backing 1t now has, it IL
pretty sure to land in that vicinity.
