Praying For Peace.

News and Courier: Enoree Pres
bytery, during its late meeting at
Wexford, S. c., in response to an over
ture from one of its church sessions,
spent half hour in devotional exer-
ciscs, praying specially for peace. Not
IL bclligcrent word was heard upon the
floor of the presbytery; but many a
heartfelt petition went up 10 the Prince
of Peace to allay the evil passions of
men and save our country from the
awful horrors of war with which it is
now threatened.

- Senator Tillman has gotten next to
the Columbia State on the Cuban ques-
ton. The State undertakes to compli-
ment his position. But Editor Gonzales
is right. Whether newspaper likes a
politician or not, if he merits credit, in
its opinion, it should give it to him.

- Somebody has suggested the idea of
establishing a shipbuilding plant in
Charleston, and The News and Courier
says the people are interested. Shipbuild-

for Charleston, and about the only reason
we can see why they don't build ships
there, is because they don't.

MIR. l.. M. BurrlS explained tne oDJec'
of the meeting to be to provide for the
holding of county convention OH the
first Monday in May, for the purpose OF
recognizing the party and electing dele
gates to the state Democratic convention,
etc.
Upon motion of Mr.. r. 4. Gwinn, it
was resolved that the precinct meetings
for the purpose of re-organizing the clubs
and electing delegates to the county con-
vention, be held at the various precincts
on Saturday preceding the first Monday
in May, between the hours of 2 p. III. and

provides for representation of the pre-
cnct clubs in the county convention on a
basis of one member for each 25 votes, or
majority fraction thereof, cast in the pre-.
ceding first primary election Of general
election year, and, upon motion, Messrs.

Gwinn were appointed a committee to ap-
portion representation of the various pre-
cincts in accordance with the vote cast at
the first primary in 1886. After carefully

GREAT GRUMBLERS.
Grumbling will cease if Mankato People
follow this Citizens Advice.

When the kidneys are sick they
grumble. You hear them clear
through the back. You feel them
clear through the body. They grum-
BILE when over taxed. Know how the
kidneys grumble? It's q strange
thing; your back will tell you. Back.
ache is the first grumbling warning.
The kidneys give it and if you heed it
not, look out for trouble, it will sure
ly come. Urinary trouble, kidney
trouble and many miseries. Doan's
Kidney Pills are made for kidneys
only. They cure every form of kid
ney i'll. The experience of Mankato
people proves this. Here's a case in
point.
Mrs. Fred Heinze of 227 Second St.,
says: Il suffered greatly from back
ache, had it badly at night which dis
turbed my rest and made me tired

A MASS MEETING.
1t Will Be Held When News. Of Santiago's
Fall Comes.

In the early days Of the scity the
ladies of Mankato raised for the pur-
chase of a bell, s.which when secured
was placed in position near where The
Saulpaugh now stands, for the pur-
pose Of giving the alarm Fin case Of
Indian news. The ladies offered the
bell to the church organization that
should first complete church with a
tower for it's reception, and the Pres
byterians being the first $50 to do, it
was given to them. The bell is now
in the basement of the Presbyterian
church. 1t is proposed sthat when
the news of the fall of Santiago comes
to put the bell upon dray and take
it through the city ringing it, and
close up with mass meeting at the
Presbyterian church at which there
will be speaking appropriate to the
occasion. There was vent to patriot
ism last evening in the way of fire.
works over the news that came, which
was all right and in perfect keeping
with the day. 1t is felt by many
that there should also be some notice
Of the event which will keep we'll in
mind the object of the war, and re-
membrance of the brave boys who
have fallen in the struggle before
Santiago's trenches, and it is with
this in mind that those who have
proposed the mass meeting are act
ing. The meeting will be held on the
evening of the day that the news of
Santisgo's fall comes.

THRESHERS MEET.
Men Who Run Big Machines Gel
Together,

The Blue Earth county threshers
union held it's annual meeting at the
city hall Tuesday afternoon, and
chose the following officers:
President-Henry Schultz, Man.
kato.
Vice President-August heller,
Mapleton.
Secretary - Chauncey Sellers,
Mapleton.
Treasurer - Alfonso Frederick,
MankatO.
The prices for threshing agreed up
on at the Mapleton conference with
representative farmers from each
town were adopted without change,
and succotash was added, at three
cents bushel with crew and two
and half cents without crew. The
Free Press Press has already publish.
ed this list.
1t is said by members of the union
that outsiders are trying to make the
farmers think that extreme prices
have been agreed upon, but they say
that this is not so. The prices
adopted were first agreed upon at a
meeting of farmers, and are about the
average price usually charged. The
threshers expect to have to pay more
for labor than for several years, as
owing to the scarcity farm hands are
already demanding S45 month. The
members of the union will stand to
their prices or else decline to do any
threshing, as they say that there is
no money in smaller prices. They
believe that the threshing machine
companies should aid them, which
they are not doing, they say.

ORGANIZE A BATTALION.
Military Companies Will Offer Their
Services Direct to War Dept.

Capt. Comstock's military company
held a meeting Tuesday to decide
upon the future, and concluded unan-
imously to maintain it's organization
and drill every Monday night.
1t was also decided to organize q
battalion and possibly a regiment in
this and adjoining counties and offer
it's services direct to the war depart
ment, without regard to any call for
troops. This step is rendered neces.
sary by the stand taken by Gov.
Clough. 1t is proposed that COM
panies from Mankato, St. Peter,
Madelia, Lake Crystal, Mapleton,
Garden City and Vernon, and possibly
Wells shall be taken in, and CORES
pondence to this end will be begun
by Capt. Comstock at once. These
outside towns have. partial organiza-
tions. 1t is not probable that the
general organization Can be affected
in time for the present call.

PASSED THROUGH MANKATO.
Luverne and Worthington Military Com.
panies 20 to St. Paul.

The Luverne and Worthington mill
tary companies passed through Man
kato at 11:50 o'clock Tuesday on
a special train, bound for the rendez.
vous at st. Paul. They will form a
part of the Fifteenth Minnesota.
There were about $50 men in the de.
tachment, and they piled out of the
cars during .the stop of two minutes
and cheered. AS it was not known
when they would pass through, very
few people were at the depot. The
officers had been asked whether they
wanted dinner prepared for the troops
here, but they said they did not. The
train was composed of six coaches.
Small towns all around Mankato
have been allowed to send companies,
but Mankato must wait because the
governor 'has it in" for the city. 1t
is safe to predict that no such discrim.
ination will be shown when William
Henry Eustis is governor.

THREE WILLS.
Material For a Contest in Pro.
bate Court.
Abial c. Woods Large Estate Goes to
Three Heirs, But in What
Proportion.

Three wills made by the late Abial
@. Wood, who died at Good Thunder
last week, have been brought to light,
and there is material for first class
contest If the parties interested con-
clude to enter into one.
Early Tuesday morning, w. w.
Plymat filed q will which he drew up
for Mr.. Wood. and which was dated
June 9th, 1894. This will leaves to
the two daughters, Mrs. Mary E. Bar.
ney and Mrs. Emma j. Mills, of this
city, $4,000 each, and to the grand
daughter. Valrah Wood, of st. Paul,
the balance of the estate. which Mr..
Wood estimated to amount to about
100000 as her share. Lysander Cook
was named as executor.
During the afternoon, Mr.. Plymat,
returned and filed another will which
he had in his custody, and which was
dated Dec. 18th, 1893. This will diYid-
ed the property equally between Mr..
Woods two daughters and his grand
daughter, giving each $4,000. Mrs.
Barney was named as executrix.
Yesterday afternoon, Attorneys
Pfau and Cray, appearing for Mrs.
Barney and Mrs. Mills, filed will
dated March 2lst, 1890. This will
left to Mr.. Woods granddaughter
but$3OO and divided the balance Of the
estate equally between his two
daughters. Mrs. Barney and Mrs.
Mills are named as executives.
Judge Wilson set the hearing on
all three wills for July 3Oth at 200 p.
m.
A matter that is apt to complicate
the case is the fact that a guardian
was appointed for Mr.. Wood in May,
1894, which was previous to the date
Of the last will, and the claim might
be made that he was not qualified to
make will after that date, although
it is said that he transacted consider.
able business afterwards.
Judge Wilson was petitioned yes
terday afternoon by Mrs. Mills to ap-
point Mrs. Barney special admins
traitor to look after some Of the per-
sonal property. The petition was
granted, and the bond was placed at
$4,000, which had not been furnished
up to 2:30 p. m. today, but which will
undoubtedly be forthcoming.

Henry Schultz states that he is in
the race for the Democratic nomina.
tion for sheriff, no matter what re-
ports may have been circulated to the
contrary. He says that he will be in
the field until the last. Mr.. Schultz
would make strong candidate, if
nominated.
1t is understood that w. J. Glenn
does not seek the nomination this
year. Deighton Little is the only other
name mentioned, but has not yet
announced his candidacy.
Robt. S. Hughes. Republican
candidate for sheriff, was in the city
today and remarked that If the other
candidates are doing as little work as
he is, little is being done in the polit-
ical line

COUNTY CONVENTION.
Early and Late Conventions Have Ad.
vocates Among Republican Candidates.

Now that the other conventions are
out of the way, the Republican candi-
dates for county offices are beginning
to talk over the question ofthe county
nominating convention. Some are
advocating holding it as early as the
middle Of August. while others per-
fer to have it as late as the middle Of
September. Those VIII favor an
early convention say that they
want to know what to expect and
would like to have the mat
ter decided early. Those who perfer
a later date say that short campaign
is less expensive and just as success
full, if not more so. The county COM
mittee has not yet been called to-
gether, and it is not knowni.what q
majority of its members favor, but
they will doubtless follow the wishes
of the majority of the candidates.

this was no doubt the cause of delay
in removing the material
Engineer Thompson said that the
board Of public works and the COM
pany's officers have been discussing
the matter for six weeks, and finally
President Macbeth has agreed to re-
build the Hickory street walk, move
the piles in to one-third of the street,
and give bond to indemnify the city
in case Of accident.
Aid. Bradley did not think this sat-
isfactory, and said that the public
has some rights there. There are no
signs of building, and the rubbish
may remain there all winter. He
moved that the company be allowed
fifteen days in which to arrange for
rebuilding, otherwise that the rub
bish be removed. This was carried.
Aid. Fritz brought up the matter
of delay in building sidewalk along
John N. Halls property on Fourth
street, between Lincoln and Liberty
streets. The others along there had
built walks as ordered by the council
some time ago.
The matter Of locating the watering
trough at the corner of Sixth or Sew
enth and franklin streets was refer
red to the street committee.
The matter of extending the water
mains on Locke and Bradley streets
was referred to the waterworks COM
mittee. 81
Aid. Zimmerman said that when
the water bonds were submitted to a
vote the fifth ward had defeated them
by it's heavy adverse vote, but that
the first petition for more mains come
from that ward. This was why the
council did not grant this extension
some time ago.
The city'recorder was authorized to
take up notes that are due as far as
there are funds in the treasury.
The bills were allowed, including
ever 500 for street work for two
weeks.
CUT DOWN EXPENSES.
Mayor Pau said that he had sug-
gested to the board of public works
that halt must be called on street
work, or the city would be bankrupt.
He asked the council to assist. Only
such work as is absolutely necessary
should be done. This is good time
of the year to cutsdown the street ex-
penses.
Aid. Fowler spoke of the bill for S2S
for police helmets, which was included
in the bills. He did not know that
the city was paying for the helmets.
Mayor Pau said that he had ap-
pointed Fred Heinze health inspector
to succeed Mr.. Boeckler, resigned
The appointment was confirmed.
! Aid. Peterson said that the work of
repairing Front street should not be
stopped, now that it had progressed
to his end.
Mayor Pau said that the street
force should be reduced, and take up
one piece of work after another, as re-
quired.
l. Aid. Bradley said that not one sew
er connection in twenty made by the
plumbers is inspected By the city Of
ficials, as required by law. There is
liable to be lots Of poor work. He
moved that City Engineer Thompson
be allowed S25 a month for four
months to employ help in his office to
do this. Other officers have been al.
lowed extra pay. There was no sec.
ond to the motion, and Aid. Fowler
moved that the engineer be authoriz.
ed to procure help if needed. There
was no second to this, and the council
adjourned.
