ANNUAL SCHOOL MEETINGS.
State Supt. Pendergast Issues a Circular
to County Superintendent.

W. W. Pendergast, state superin-
tendent of the state department of
public instruction, has issued the fol-
lowing circular for the information of
county and city superintendent of
schools:
The change in the date of holding
the annual school meeting in common
school districts from the third Satur-
day of July to the third Saturday of
June is causing considerable embar-
rassment to county superintendent
Of schools and district clerks, The
school year ends July 81, and it is for
the school year that clerks and county
superintendents are required by law
to make their annual reports. 1t is
evident that the district clerk who re-
tires from Office on the first Of July
cannot report the entire year, which
ends month later. 1t will, there.
fore, become necessary for the retir-
ing clerk to report for such part of the
school year as he has been in Office,
and for the new clerk to make sup
Elementary report, including July.
These two reports must be combined
by the county superintendent in his
annual report to the superintendent
of public instruction.

HOSPITAL SITE.
Heirs of inc. F. Meagher Will
Donate One.
Propose to Give Twenty Acres. i
a$25,ooo Memorial Hospital
is Built,

The heirs of the late Jno. f.
Meagher propose to donate a tract Of
land in East Mankato, containing
twenty acres, if the proposed new
hospital is erected thereon. Only two
provisions are made. the first being
that the hospital shall cost at least
$25, 900, and the second being that it
shall be known as "Meagher Hos
pital," as memorial to the
late Mr.. Meagher. 1T is necessary
that the proposition be accepted by
June 1st. The land will be conveyed to
the new owners when funds sufficient
to erect and complete the hospital are
at the command or within the reach
of the trustees of the society under
taking to erect the hospital. No
part of the land is to be conveyed
away.
The land which it is proposed to
donate is the west half of the south
west quarter of section eight, and
lies on the hill top east of Bierbauer's
brewery. The location is very beau
tiful one, with pure air and a COM
handing view. The land is worth
5000 an acre or more, and the offer is
a most liberal one. If others will
give as literally in proportion to their
wealth the committee will not be
long in raising the necessary funds.

HORSE BURNED UP.
Fred Roberts Barn the Latest Prey of
the Incendiary.

Incendiary fires have now become
so frequent in Mankato that they
cease to attract much attention. The
fire bug plies his match without much
apparent danger of detection, and is
as persistent as a June mosquito. No
one knows whose property will go
next. Success and exemption have
attended the incendiary thus far, and
it begins to look as though the city
will continue indefinitely to suffer
from his malignity until some one
discovers him in the act of applying
the torch and shoots him down as one
would a rabid dog. If every property
owner in Mankato would take this
firm resolve, the fire bug would cease
his operations through the danger in
CURED, the same as fires ceased after
the property owners became aroused
a couple of years ago. No coroner's
jury would think for one moment of
holding responsible any citizen who
would now take the law in his own
hand, provided he made no mistake.
1t is in making a mistake that the
danger lies, and unless the fire bug be
caught in the very act Of firing a
building, extreme measures cannot
be excused.
Fred Roberts barn on Walnut
street between Third and Fourth, was
destroyed Friday, involving a loss
of 500, with insurance of $3.50 on the
barn and 5000 on the contents. When
discovered the fire was under full
Roadway, and the entire interior of
the barn was a mass of flames. The
fire department responded promptly
to call sent in from No. 26 at LOS a.
M, and soon had the fire under con-
troll and saved adjoining property.
Mr.. Roberts, who is retired farmer,
lost his family horse, two carriages,
cutter, and some grain and hay.
Nothing was saved, as the fire had
too much Roadway.
Will Boegen was going by at 11:45
p. M, and noticed man in the alley.
He took seat on the steps Of the ad-
joining church to await developments,
but as nothing occurred he went
home. 1t may be that the man whom
he saw was the incendiary.

TO GRETNA GREEN.
Young Madelia Couple Married
at Hudson, Wis.
While They Were Gone on This
Jaunt, the Liveryman Was
Worrying About His Team.

The Madelia livery stable prOprie-
tor is worrying over team which he
hired to a stranger named York yes
terday. He telephoned to police
headquarters in:this city this ;morn-
ing, saying that York had said that
be was going to drive to Mankato,
but that he had not yet returned.
He described the team as a cream
colored one. The police visited the
various livery and feed barns but no
such team had been left anywhere.
York had young lady with him
when he left Madelia, so the livery
man said.
1t appears since the -tabove was
written that there is little romance
attached to thel case. HOfficer
Bienapfl found Mr.. York and the
young lady doing some trading at
Fred Kron's store during the fore
noon, land tapped him on the shoulder.
Both were badly frightened, from ap-
appearances. Mr.. York afterwards
explained the whole matter to the Of
ticers. He has been working near
Madelia and had fallen in love with
Miss Kimball, who is sister Of Mrs.
Frank Hotaling. of this city. 1t was
agreed that they should come to Man
kato and be married. Mr.. York pro-
CURED the livery team, paying for it
until Saturday night. When they ar
rived in this city it was learned that
the groom was not yet twenty-one
and that this stood in the way of his
procuring marriage license. Moth
ing daunted, the couple took the train
for St. Paul, and then went across to
Hudson, Wis, where no licenses are
required, and the nuptial knot was
tied there by an obliging clergyman.
They returned Sunday and went
out to the home of Mr.. York's par
ents, near Bradley's crossing. Mr..
York took good care of the team and
drove to town today with his wife,
making no effort to conceal the fact
of his having the team. Indeed, he
states that he telegraphed to the Ma
della liveryman in regard to it. The
weather was so bad that he decided
not to drive back to Madelia today.
Chief. Wagon telephoned the facts
to the livery man at Madelia, who re-
piled that he would be up on the first
train.
