Wilson Warns Up.

Mr. Wilson said that it was not ne
cessary to go into personalities to answer
what had been said 1t was not neces-
sary to refer to the habit of members
WHO sit in the back END of saloons and
play cards. 1t was not necessary to so be-
little the dignity of members of the
board, He had not brought up the re
strictive provision'of the charter to at
tack anyone. In looking over the
records of the board he had discovered
that on May Goth, 1891, Mr. Keysor had
been authorized to superintend che con-
struction of the high school building
two hours day at forty cents an hour.
One hundred and fifteel days later he
had received s$106 80 under his con
tract, when it was not possible to spell
out that he was entitled to more than
$50, when the fifteen Sundays are
taken out. He had been pressed to the
wall to show that the presenting of
bills by members had already led
to abuses, and heshad nothing to say
but call attention to the records.
Mr. Fletcher said that instead of try
ing to hlacken'characte it was not the
amount but the practice which had
eeen criticised In regard to the safety
deposit vault, he had not benefited a
nickle. 1t the past the board has lost
by the practice complained of. A mem
Der of the board was not to be blamed if
he took advantage of his opportunity.
The abuse of the opportunity had once
called the integrity of the board in to
question. The members ought to vote
on bills entirely free from influences
such as exist when the bills come from
other members The board does not
like to vote against members Mr.
Fletcher said that he had never put in a
bill to the board He had been asked
to do things for the district but had re-
fused. The board had once let large
contract TO one of its members and lost
by it. The practice is wrong. Some
time we haye got to stop it, and now is
good time.
Mr.. Wilson said that he would pay
Capt Keysor's bill if he would never
put in another bill to the board.
Capt. Keysor replied that Mr. Wilson
had better pay his. taxes first.
Mr.. Wilson replied that he had nc
delinquent taxes He was tax payer
of the community and would give Mr..
Keysor $25 if he would pay his (Wll
sons taxes for this year.
On motion of Mr. Fletcher, the com
mittee on property and expense was
given power to act in regard to the
waste water from the boiler running
over the Hickory street sidewalk. q

Those who were at the Welsh c.. M.

and everyone was more than pleased.
Her rendition of ''Sss Echo" and Com

If she ever returns to Mankato, she
should appear at the opera house, and
will be assured large house.

How does this sound to you,
coming as it does, from the London
Times. And do you think it was
the sentiment of that paper year
ago? mo government or people
have devoted themselves with great
er ardor to the study of the theory
of arbitration than the government
and people of the United States.
The Americans not only possess
great lawyers, but are a community
in which knowledge of legal prin-
ciples is more wide spread than in
any other. American jurists have
done much to mold the doctrines of
international law in the past, and
in their treatment of large questions
they have often displayed luminous
insight, firm grasp of fundamental
principles, and a solid erudition not
surpassed by the legal writers of
any modern state.

TODAY'S NEWS.

The arrival of transports late last
evening enables the Advertiser to print
the worlds news up to the Goth Of No
vember. Our readers will find the sum
mary as complete as they could wish.
Naturally the leading topic in the for
eign kilograms is the South African
war. 1t appears from such details as
are at hand that the British are getting
on better on in Natal, Lord Methuen's
victory having been complete enough
to check the advance and dampen the
spirits of the Beers. Ladysmith and
Kimberley are safe and there are signs
that Colonel Baden-Poweu has made a
sortie from Mafeking and is harassing
an enemy who but lately thought to
capture him.
The American campaign in the
Philippines has developed important
results. True, Aguinaldo is yet
a, large, but he is unable to
make organized resistance to the
advance of General Otis flying
columns. The capture of his cartridgo
factory, his ammunition stores and
many of his modern guns is a blow
from which the Tagals will not easily
recover Any mail may bring the news
that the rebel chief has either been
captured or has asked for terms.
The minor news of the world, which
is published in detail, speaks for itself.
