A SUMMARY OF KANSAS EVENTS.
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
The thinner Law Knocked Out.


By recent decision of the state SUI
preme court, the thinner law, impos-
ing tax of ten per cent. on the pre-
miums of all insurance contracts writ
ten on Kansas property by companies
not authorized to do business in the
state, was declared unconstitutional.
The decision was rendered in the ha-
beas corpus proceedings brought by
Thomas Page, a Topeka miller, who
refused to pay the tax. The object of
the law was to compel all insurance
companies to take out license to do
business in the state by taxing their
business to death as long as they re-
fused to come in. This decision rem
p ders the state insurance superintendent
powerless to prevent ''undergrC und"
insurance. The court holds that since
the contracts are made outside of the
state they are good within the state,
and even if the companies are not au-
thorized to do business in the state
their policies can be enforced. The
pohcyholders, however, must go out
side of the state to sue.

small one, having an assessed valuation
of but $45, 900, and the fifteen mill levy
has hitherto allowed the district to pay
one teacher $50 a month and ano6 her
teacher $50 month, and the school is
in excellent condition.
There are but two things to be done
now, if the school year is not to be
shortened. One is to increase the size
of the district. and the other is to secure
special act to allow the district to con-
tinue to levy fifteen mills, if the legisla-
ture can pass special legislation of this
kind. The people are willing to sup
port their school, and it would seem
that they ought to be allowed to do so,
the same as an independent district.
County Superintendent Freeman has
returned from his first week of visiting
the county schools, and reports that
he has found everything to be generally
satisfactory and in good condition, and
he expresses himself as well pleased
with the work that is being done. A
large number of the students will take
the county examination the middle of
February.

A FIRE ENGINE.
Steps Being Taken Looking to the Pur-
chase of One. vr.F.

t
The last order which the city has put
in for ny drants calls for the kind that
has two attachments for ordinary hose
and one for steamer hese.-The city al
ready has several of these hydrauts in,
and will probably put in no other here
after. The attachment for steamer
hose is larger than for the OF binary hose
now in use. ~ So a ~ .ea1ssaa
Chief Phillips, in speaking. of the
matter today, said that it will be but a
few years when the city will want to
buy fire engi g, and it is in anticipa-
ton of this that the new hydrants are
being purchased, An engine or.steamer
will throw stream of water higher
than the gravity pressure now used,
even in the lowest parts of the city,
while it would be of great value higher
up and in the outskirts of the city.
Probably when the time comes to get
an engine North .Mankato will be will
ling topay portion of the cost, for its
use in case OF fire. The same is probab-
ly true if the city should decide to buy
a double tank chemical engine of large
size. Now that the village has been in
corpofated, II is in a position to take
measures for protection from fire,

Mr.. LILLY WRITES.
Former Mankato Man, Now in Southern
California. ..s.

Mr.. Thos A. Sherk has received a
letter from Mr. John Lilly, who was
deputy county auditor of Blue Earth
county for many years, and which will
be of interest to his many old friends in
this section. The reference to Ellwood
is about his son, who was for several
years city engineer of Mankato. The
letter is as follows: s
CORONA, CAL Jan. End, 1899.
Dear Thomas: Perhaps you will
wonder at my writing to you, rut in
asmuch as we have had quite a rain
and as l can't do much else you must
excuse me. This is the second time we
had rain in or months About the
first of December we had quite snow
storm, the ground was covered with a
mantel of the beautiful for the space of
2 hours, and it began to look very much
like Minnesota, but it all disappeared
without any frost in our vicinity, We
have had quite few northerners or
Santa Anna, as they are call d, which
blew few oranges off the trees Our
orange crop is only an average one. We
only picked ia boxes for the holiday
trade. We will begin picking again in
a few DAYS We got about $3.50 per
box, delivered at depot. We picked AZ
boxes of lemons last week and still
have a lot to pick. There hav Re en-
three large packing houses built he g
within few months and our hotel has
b en- moved a little to make room for a
brick block to be built at once. There
has been considerable building done
here lately, even we put up big barn
which we ought to have filled with hay
this year but did not. Hay is worth
S22 ton at present, but few more
showers will tend to lower the price. ]
forgot to state we took dinner on
Christmas day at the hotel, which has
been renovated throughout, and on
New Years we had Ellwood's family
for dinner You would be surprised to
see Ellwood He is so fat he can't but
ton his coat He has so many offices
| don't know what will become of him.
He is now city engineer, superintendent
| of streets, superintendent of water
company, and he has gone to Riverside
today to commence his duties as super
visor for this district, and he may be
! elected chair nan of the board, l don't
suppose he would have time to write
you. His family, comprising wife and
two boys, are well He is still in the
lumber business. We old folk do the
| work on the ranch. I can follow the
cultivator all day and don't get very
tired. Mrs. L picks lemons and
oranges We had visit from Mr. and
Mrs Strunk not long ago. but have moi
seen Mr.. Tuttle's folks for over year
Mr.. Noble is at San Diego. We DOM
hear anything about our Mankato folks
except what we read in the paper.

NOT CANDIDATES.
Five Of the Aldermen Not up for
Reelection.
Aids. fflmmelman, Petersen, Bradley,
Fowler and Fritz Have Had
- Enough of II.

Ii the present attitude of the alder
men on the subject of reelection holds
good until the spring election, there
will be many new faces in the next
council.
Aid Zimmerman stated Saturday to
Free Press reporter that he would not
be candidate for reelection in the
Third ward under any circumstances.
He said that he could not afford to lose
the time from his business necessary to
discharge his duties to the city, and was
satisfied with his experience in the
council -.-~a
Aid. Petersen gave it out cold last
night that he would not come up for re-
election in the Second ward, for the
same reason as given by Aid. Himmel-
man.. $50 s
AID Fowler, of the Sixth ward, told
Free Press reporter some time ago
that this would be his last term in the
council.
Aid. Bradley is said to have told a
fellow alderman within a day or two
that he would not think of accepting
denomination in the Fifth ward.
Aid. Fritz stated today that he would
probably not be a candidate for reelec-
ton in the Fourth ward.
Aid. Adams was non-committal when
asked today as to his position, but said
that he had been promised some very
strong support in case he wanted re-
election. His talk left the impression
that he Will probably be candidate.
Aid. Peterson is being strongly talked
of among the Democrats as likely
candidate for mayor, and there is reas-
on to believe that he would accept a
nomination if he saw his way clear to
an election. He is quoted as having
said recently that he would not be a
| candidate.
tits understood that Mayor Pau does
not desire denomination, but it is be-
leved that under some circumstances
he might be induced to accept.
| Among the Republicans, Gus Widell,
w. E Young and Ed Bradley are most
frequently mentioned.

TURNED OVER.
Linseed Oil Mill Belongs to New
Owners.
Talk of Using it as the Location for
Beet Sugar Factory, if One is
.-..- Started.

Manager w. D, Willard has received
word from the National Linseed Oil
Co. that the plant in this city is now
the property of the American Linseed
Oil Co, which is the trust recently
formed t. succeed the National com
pany No word has been received from
the American company yet, but there
is no probability of the Mankato plant
being operated, and it is probably
closed permanently There is not the
amount of fiaxseed raised in this sect on
of the state that there was formerly,
and the purchases of an entire line of
elevators do not equal what formerly
was received at single point.
Manager Willard buys and ships fax
seed and bri gs in oil cake from st, Paul
and sells it to the farmers. The de-
mand for oil cake is very good, al
though the freight rate is added to the
old price. ~
Thelsuggestion has heen made that
the oil mill with it's 'ad jacent buildings
would make an excellent location for a
beet sugar factory, The buildings
could be remodeled to meet the sneces-
stiles of a beet sugar factory, and the
necessary machinery put in, The side
tracks are there and the load and un-
load facilities are very convenient,
ThereIis no question but that the plant
could be bought at a very reasonable
figure. $500
By the way if anything is to be done
toward getting beet sugar
factory, now is the time to act. Last
year nothing was done toward getting
land pledged to beets until the wheat
had been sown,I and the only land that
was secured was a few acres that had
been reserved for corn, Nothing has
been heard from the former advocates
of beet-sugar factory for some time
Are they sleeping or have they come to
the conclusion that the, industry does
not pay or that the obstacles to getting
ne are insurmountable?

ELECTRIC STREET CARS.
A New Proposal That Seems to Have
Merit. III.

Architect Pass returned Saturday
from Boone, Iowa, where he went on
business connected with plans for a
Jail. He is enthusiastic over an cleo
trio street car line at that place. Boone
has about the same population as Man
kato, and it's street car line is a mile
and a half long, without loops. One
car is run every twenty minutes, except
that during the afternoon on pleasant
days another car is run to accommodate
shoppers. The trips are then ten min
utes apart Mr.. Pass was assured
by director of the company and
Others that the yearly profits of the
company are twenty per cent. Mr. Pass
took ten or twelve trips on the cars and
the smallest number of people which he
saw in any car was five, while the num-
Der ranged as high as thirteen.
Mr. Pass believes that an electric line
in Mankato, running from the park to
Dukes addition, three miles long, with
two cars running every twenty min
utes, would be profitable investment.
This line could run from the gate of the
park at the foot Of Sibley mound, by
way of Mound avenue, orr to the main
entrance gate. 1t could runthe length
of Front street, and after going up the
hill on North -Front1street could go out
on the St Peter road to a point nearly
opposite Tourtellotte hospital, and
thence across to Dukes addition
There is tile doubt thatelectric cars,
making good rate of speed and regu-
lar trips, would pay in Mankato, and it
might prove better Investment then
there is in Mankato today. By operat-
ing only two cars, and having a couple
of more in reserve for extra occasions,
the expense would not be great, and
the wants of the people would be met.
There is enough money lying idle in the
banks today to build and equip half a
dozen street Car lines.
