One of the Attendants Proves to be q

There was warm time at dance in
Mankaso township Saturday night. &C
cording to all accounts. A string of
people with battered faces and bruised
bodies have been calling on County
Attorney Hughes since the affair
Those doing the complaining say that
the trouble was caused by a North
Mankato party, who came intoxicated
and wanted to whip everybody. He
struck right and left in the crowd, hit

and then went outside and took neck

OFFICERS ELECTED.
The Street Fair Association is Now Fully
Organized and Ready for Business.

At TIE meeting of the directors of
the Mankato harvest festival and
street fair association Tuesday at
the board of trade rooms, city hall, the
following officers were elected:
President-T. w. Hart.
First Vice PRESIDENT G. Thro.
Second ENTHUSIASTICALLY. M. b.
Wood.
Treasurer o. w. Schmidt.
Secretary--Dr. G.. Curryer,
A very stringent set of bylaws were
adopted under which the officers and
all committees will be obliged to work;
two of which we here introduce for the
satisfaction of those who are interested
in the welfare of this association:
Section 10 The members of this as
ISOLATION shall mot be assessed beyond
the amount Of their annual member
ship fee and shall not be holden for any
excuses beyond the amounts of money
paid into the treasury in membership
fees subscriptions and donations.
Sec. IL There shall be apportioned
to the several departments and commit
tees such amounts of money as may be
deemed necessary or expedient, not to
exceed the amount of money on hand
at the time of such apportionment, and
no department or committee shall ex-
ceed the amount assigned it; unless
such committee or department assumes
the extra expense and becomes person
ally liable for the same and indemnify
and save the association harmless there
from; as the association will on no &C
count; become liable for more than the
amount assigned such department or
committee.
1t will be thus seen that with the
constitution adopted at a former meet
ing and with set of bylaws equally
protective throughout, complete sue
cess can be made of the harvest festival
and 81 rect fair association; provided
the citizens are in sympathy with the
association and willing to lend help
ing hand from start to finish otherwise
it cannot be expected to be strong Or
ganization. The foundation is now
we'll laid and from the present constant
development should be encouraged by
everybody.
A regular meeting will be held on
Wednesday evening of this week of the
members of the association and it is
hoped that all will be present as the
various committees are to be selected,
and it is important that the right men
be selected for the different places.
With the enthusiasm already displayed,
the fair can be made hummer, and
all should keep shoulder to the wheel
and help push it along

The trade papers, says the st. Louis
Globe Democrat, are all enthusiastic
over the business situation. They say,
what every intelligent person knows to
be true, that trade was never more &C
tive in the United States than it is at
this moment. The outlook, too, is that
this activity will increase instead of
diminish. Bank clearances, railroad
earnings and production in all the lead
ing Industries are the highest figures
ever touched. Labor is more actively
employed than.-ever before and wages
has been advanced all along the line in
the past few months. 1t is no wonder
that the Bryanites are dissatisfied with
these conditions. In this period of
great industrial prosperity the calamity
party has no chance to delude the peo-
pie into giving it control of the govern
ment.

TO GRADE UP.
North Mankato Talking of Raising its
Main Street to Level of Front.

North Mankato council met Monday
evening and among other business gave
two ordinances their first reading.
One was No. IL relating to the licens-
ing of dogs, and the other, No. Ii, re-
garding the licensing of peddlers
Engineer Thompson was present with
a profile of the grade for Belgrade
avenue, for the council to consider. On
Wednesday afternoon the council and
the engineer will meet and look over all
the streets and alleys surveyed so as to
determine what grade will be neces-
sary. The matter of sewerage will also
have to be taken into consideration so
as to avoid any future change in the
grade, when sewer may be
put in. 1t is likely that the grade
established will be that of the high
water mark of 81, which will make it
about the height of Front street in
Mankato. This will necessltate con-
siderable filling but time will prove it
to be wise move.
There is much activity in the build
ing line on the north side this spring,
and some six or eight houses are now in
process of erection, and others will
probably be built during the summer

A 800 BARREL PLANT.
That Will be the Capacity of the Pro.
posed New Mill.

The talk of the street Tuesday
was about the new Touring mill, the
particulars of which the Free Press
gave Monday. Business men every
where were particularly we'll pleased
and expressed themselves as of the
opinion that it would prove of great
benefit to the city in many ways, 1t is
regarded that the projectors of the en-
terprise secured the property at a
bargain. The alterations will not have
to be very extensive, though possibly
another story may be added to the mill
proper. The capacity of the mill will
be 800 barrels daily. We were informed
this morning by gentleman who is
close to some of the parties interested,
that the new firm will probably pur.
chase flax for the Linseed Oil Co in
connection with handling the products
of that corporation. Should this prove
true, it will be an additional benefit to
the city and surrounding country
Mankato has always been a good wheat
market, and the addition of a new mill
will have the the tendency to make it
