SPECIAL MEETING HELD.
More Seats Ordered for the North Man.
katO School Building.

The North Mankato school board held
a special meeting Tuesday to arrange
for increasing the seating capacity of
the building. The attendance is now
200, and the board voted to purchase
fourteen more seats. Last year the dis
trict received state aid on an enrolment
OF 1877. but it is thought the enrolment
this year will come up to 800.
The district will soon be called upon
to increase the size of the school build
ing. 1t is thought that it will become
necessary to rent room somewhere
next year for one of the classes, but it
is hoped to postpone building for two or
three years. by which time the finances
of the district will be in better shape.
There are So, 900 of school bonds that
fall due in four or five years, and a
sinking fund to take these up has al
ready been started When the building
is increased in size four rooms will pro
badly be added, but the upper ones will
not be finished off at once, At least,
this is the plan advocated by a member
of the board. There are three lots on
the school ground, making ample room
for the addition.

ARGUMENTS HEARD.
The Mandamus Proceeding Took One
Entire Day.

The mandamus case started by City
Attorney Daley against City Recorder
Williams was argued all day Tuesday
by Messrs. Daley and Comstock. Mr..
Daley maintained that the Mankato
charter is taken from the old st. Paul
charter with certain provisions drop
ped. II. held that the recorder is the
clerk of the council and must do as it
directs Mr.. Comstock held that the re-
corder is independent of the council and
that if he did as the council desires in
the cases in hand he would falsify
his records. He held that anyone could
prevent the transfer of funds by in
junction, He also took the ground that
mandamus proceedings are only a final
resort, when everything else has failed.
There are three courses open to the
council, the refunding of the floating
debt, issuing certificates of indebted
ness, and issuing bonds to the amount
of one-third of the levy in anticipation
of the collection of the taxes.
Judge Severance took the matter
under advisement.

GEN. POPE HERE.
He Talks in Regard to the
Library Matter.
Asserts That All of His Financial Trans.
actions With the City We're
Strictly Legal.

Gen. E. M. Pope, public examiner OF
Minnesota, arrived in the city Monday
night and will remain for day or two.
While here he will look up data in re-
gard to the $500 held in trust by him
for the public library and also investi-
gate the claim that w. II. Shepard
owes the city treasurer. He states that
if he finds that he owes anything for
interest on the $500 or if Mr.. Shepard
owes anything the claims will be paid.
In speaking of this matter, Gen. Pope
stated that it would have been just as
we'll and just as fair if they had
been notified of what the city claimed
and allowed an opportunity to have an
explanation go out at the same time
with the report. In his department of
the state administration, it is hisprac-
tice to take action on apparent discre-
pencies or wrongful acts only after the
parties interested have been given an
opportunity to be heard. and even then
no mention is ever made for publica.
ton.
Gen. Pope went on to say that all of
his financial transactions with the city
have been strictly legal and done open
and above board, with no effort to con-
ceal anything from the officials or the
public. His holding $500 for the public
library was not done in secret but in
public and was authorized and was
for the true interest of the library.
When the money was turned over to
President Wood in May last it was
turned over to the library fund because
it needed the money then as much as it
would at any other time. If it had not
been turned over then or if it had not
been held in reserve for such an emer-
gency the library would have had no
money to go on for several months, ow-
ing to the empty state of the treasury
and the strictness followed this year in
regard to not borrowing. In his letter
to DIR. Wood there was no suggestion of
the money being turned in as loan.
Gen. Pope has secured from DR., Wood
a certified copy of his letter to disprove
the talk that he attempted to loan the
money back to the city.
In regard to w. H. Donaldsons claim
to have discovered anything regarding
the accounting of the library that was
not correct, Gen. Pope states that the
experts examination and report simply
verified statements made by him to the
expert as to the situation, before he
had been employed by the city to make
the examination.
Gen. Pope explains the statement at
tributed to him in regard to caution
ing Mr. Donaldson not to go back of
''the red line" by saying that this talk
occurred at a private conference of the
mayor and aldermen at which he and
Mr.. Donaldson were present The only
talk had'was in regard to the investi.
cation of the books of the city recorder
and clerk of the municipal court. Gen.
Pope stated that he had examined
these books up to June, 1895, and that
the matter was closed up to that date
and that it would be useless to go fur
ther back. At the same time, he told

Young man, here are some of the signs
of your secret evil habit, and by which
the people know it, Dark circles under
your eyes, pimples on your face, hands,
cold and sweaty, quick palpitating heart,
stomach deranged, pains in back, you lack
decision, ambition and become weak, hes
itating and cowardly; dizzy feeling in the
head and loss Of memory. You are sus-
picious that every person who looks at
your haggard, dull, inexpensive face
knows your trouble, hence you avoid soci-
ETY. and live alone in solitude, brooding
over your evils. You acquired this habit
through your ignorance, and now that
knowledge has come to you, you are un-
able to break the iron chain of habit. Such
cases are more to be Ditied than con-
demned. Hundreds Of young men have
been helped out of this trouble, for it
can be cured. Dr. Reinhart is always
willing to lend a helping hand to such men.
He can cure you. Consult him, or write
him If you cannot call. Not a dollar need
be paid unless cured.
