NEW BLOCK SYSTEM.
Goes lato Effect on the Omaha Road
Tomorrow.

The new block system went into effect
on the Omaha railroad Sunday. The
inauguration of the new system
will result in the employment of
20 new operators on this division, there
being one for each block and the blocks
are several miles long. By the system,
two trains are not on the same block at
the same time, going either way, and
thus it is impossible for collision of
any kind to occur.
The Omaha company has issued new
code of rules and regulations to govern
the telegraph block system, the auto
matte block system and interlocking.
According to the system in use, there is a
double arm semaphene that is worked in
connection with levers in the operators
office.
The automatic electric block is work
ed by track circuit, and interlocking is
worked from the lower. A new soma
phone has been placed in front of the
union depot, for use in the system. A
new operator will be placed atBradley's
crossing and one at Car line station,
Two new operators are to be sta
toned at st. Peter, and through bust
ness will be sent over he msin track
instead of stopping at the depot,

when called upon, and performed the
duties of janitor and poundmaster. The
amount which he received from all of
these combined to make respectable
salary.
AT present, the city is paying SO a
month for poundmaster service and
getting nothing in return, as the pound
master has had nothing to do. This
could Just as we'll be saved, and more
efficient work would be done if the
poundmaster received fees instead of
stated salary. If good man was to be
appointed police constable, he could re-
ceive the $25 a month which the CITY
now pays for janitor service, and by the
fees received from serving civil papers
and attending to the pound he would
have an income of $50 or $40 a month,
and the city would gain one police
officer and save so month We sub
NIT this to the charter commission for
its consideration.

MINNESOTA BUTTER.
1t Scores the Highest Average at the
Sioux Falls Meeting.

l.. r Hobart, of Oak Lawn creamery.
at Kerns postoffice, in Nicollet county,
returned Friday from Sioux Falls,
where he has been attending the Ma
tional Buttermakers convention. He
states that there was large attendance
of creamery men, and most profitable
time was had He had tub of butter
present and received score of go The
highest score was 81 and carried off by
an Iowa party. The second prize was
won by O P. Jensen, of Wells, Mimi,
the score being $751; Mr.. Hobart says
that the jndging of the butter was very
strict, and that the buttermakers feel
that the scores given represent the true
standing of the butter on exhibition.
Out of over $50 exhibits only about 40
scored above SO. Minnesota had 1859 en-
tries, and the average score was S9.2
This was the highest average and gave
the state the prize banner for butter
Illinois with 40 entries, came next with
an average of SS1. Iowa third, with
10 entries, average score S7.9 Several
other states were reprt scented, standing
lower in the average. The Minnesota
representatives of course were feeling
very fine over their victory in produc-
ing the best butter. The record the
state made at Omaha last year was well
sustained.

ANOTHER PARK.
Health Officer Hielscher Offers Sug.
gestiOn.

Health Officer Hielscher believes that
MankatO should haYe another park, To-
Gated in the center of the city where
our people can rest and enjoy the shade
of trees and the sight and perfume of
flower beds He suggests that the land
formerly used by the Omaha road for
depot and sidetrack purposes, along
Fourth street, near Plum and Washing
ton, would be good location. 1t is
centrally located and lies in front of the
new hospital. 1t is about the only
ground available in the center of the
city, sufficiently large for park purposes,
and he believes that unless the city Sc
cures it soon there will be no chance
left. The city's parks are all out on the
outskirts, at a tiresome distance for
many to walk, and poor people cannot
afford to ride
This is thought that is worthy of
consideration. If the land can be Sc
cured from the Omaha road by pur-
chase or rental, it would require but
few hundred dollars to make it into
pretty park, with trees, walks and
flower beds

WHEAT GOES UP.

The local wheat market has respond
ed to the excitement in Chicago and
other places, and is on the jump The
advance within week has been six
cents Several days ago wheat advanced
two cents, it advanced two cents more
Friday, and two cents again Saturday.
The cry OF the spectators at Chicago is
for the dollar mark With the vast ex-
portations that have been made, it seems
as though higher prices must rule.

SUGAR FACTORY.
Ex-senator Kellar Writes on
this Subject.
A Factory Can be Built Here Cheaper
than at St. Louis Park, and Oper.
ated More Chesply.

Ed. Schumacher recently wrote to
Ex-senator Henry Kellar at Sank Cen
ter, MINI, asking him whether he
could come to Mankato and give anoth-
er address on the subject of beet SUI
gar factory. In reply, he says:
''In regard to the sugar factory, l
have done all could, and spent my own
money and lots of it for the state of
Minnesota. 1 do not believe it is very
profitable for me to run around the
country, pay my own expenses, and get
no thanks for it see by the CONNER
cial Report that Winthrop has incorpo-
rated sugar factory, and I have no
doubt but that they will make success
of it
"All of the country surrounding you
in the southern part of the state is abso-
lutely in the sugar belt. If you can
raise 100000, l can show you where to
get the rest, and would be pleased to adj
wise you and give you the benefit of my
experience free gratis, and can show
you where you can save at least $4,000
over the factory which was built at
Minneapolis, and you can make sugar
for half cent per pound cheaper Of
course, the second factory is always
built more economical than the first I
will go to Mankato and go before your
board of trade or citizens meeting, es-
pecially your capitalists, and will an
swer any questions to show how to alb
solut ely make success of it, but can
not leave my business and pay my own
expenses, as l have no more free trans
portation
''St. Cloud is going to incorporate
next week."
1t will be seen from this that there
are two things for our people to do be
fore sugar factory can be erected.
One is to secure pledges of enough land
to be planted to beets to keep the fac
tory in profitable operation. The other
is to subscribe to 5000, 900 of the capital
stock. Will these be done? Now is
the time to speak out.

ON TO NEW ULM.
Rumored Intention of the Mime
apolis & St. Louis.
Said TO Have Surveying Party Now at
Work Between Mankato and
New UIm.

There were rumors in the air today,
flying thick and fast, that the Minneap-
oils & st Louis proposes to push on to
New Ulm from this place by a route on
the other side of the Minnesota river
A prominent local railroad official, when
seen by reporter today, said that he
had heard these reports, and that he
had also heard that there is surveying
party out working from New Ulm to-
ward Mankato, locating route
Agent Barr, when seen. said that he
had no information on the subject, but
thought that it would be very natural
move on the part of his road to extend
to New Ulm, as that would be the
means of making a through route to
Chicago that would save 100 to 100
miles from WATERFOWL, S. D.
General Manager L R Day, of the
M & st L road returned yesterday
from New York, where he attended a
conference of representatives of the
leading interests in the property, which
has authorized the issue of S25, 600 600
in new bonds. It is assumed that one
of the principal objects of the issue is to
provide for the new line to Omaha.
which will run in southerly direction
from New Ulm, crossing the Omaha near
st. James or Madelia, thence to Spirit
Lake, a distance of about $50 miles.
Mr.. Day is reported to have anncunc
ed yesterday that the company intends
to project line to Omaha. For some
time there have been rumors of such a
projec', butno official confirmation of
them could be secured. If this line is
constructed, the road would naturall,
want to extend from this CITY to con
meet with it.
The move to have the Minnesota riv-
er declared unnavigable, if it succeeds
will considerably reduce the expense Of
bridging the river, as no draw will have
to be provided. The M. & st L. would
cross the river below the
city, and come up through North Man.

the bridge. This has been talked of in
the past, and is no new idea. The loo,
papers were full of it several years ago.
when the last effort to have the G. q
N. w and M. & s.. L extend to New
Ulm was made tt was then generally
thought that whenever one line made
the move the other would quickly fol-
low suit. -shNsisN- y &s4S sasF.. }h,a

lance of fourteen miles to inform the
sheriff at st James that Bleedhorn had
been seen on the road near his place on

circulars through that part of the state,
describing the rig, in the hope that
Bleedhorn had left it somewhere. No

Friday. The services were con
Quoted by Rev Lee w Beattie, pastor
OF the Presbyterian church, of which
denomination Mrs Patterson was a de-
voted member, and the music was rem
dered by the choir of that church also.
The remarks of Rev Mr.. Beattie were
most touching. He referred to the
great love born by the mother for her
children, and the self-sacrifcing nature
always exemplifed by deceased. The
pastors remarks caused tears to come
to all eyes, and everyone present felt,
and felt deeply, that good and pure
life. had gone out and home bereft of
one whose chair could never be filed.
During the morning hours friends of
the family were permitted sto take a
farewell look upon the face of the de-
ceased. The casket had place in the
parlor, and as the still form Law
upon its rich folds of silver gray, a
sweet sleep, and not death, seemed to
impress one. The casket was what is
known as couch casket, and is the only
one of the kind ever used in this CITY.
It's sides drop down and leaves the form
fully exposed to view, giving it the APP
pearance of a richly draped couch
Never in life did Mrs. Patterson look
more like her real self, and it was GER
tainly source of much consolation to
children and husband to feel that their
loved one had fallen asleep in such per-
feet composure.
The two sons and two sons ,in-law
performed the offices of pail bearers,
and it was most solemn moment, as
pathetic as it was solemn to witness
the loving children pay their last earthly
homage to a mothers devotion by ten
derby laying her inanimate form away
where it shall ever repose in rest.
The floral offerings were many and

sisted of large lunches of English

ceased were: Mr. and Mrs Fletcher,
