CITY OWES $500.
Gen. Pope would have the Council pay
this to the County.

The county board convened Tuesday
afternoon. Gen. E. M. Pope, state
public examiner, was present and had
talk with the members in regard to
the charges made by sheriffs for the
board of prisoners. Since the last
meeting, he has had the Jail register
gone over by employees of his Office and
he finds that the city owes the county
about $500 for board of prisoners since
1894. This and other matters were
talked over.
Gen. Pope also explained bill from
the Pioneer Press Co. for making a Jail
record, which he had himself ordered
without the authority of the county
board. From expressions of members,
there is some question whether this bill
will be allowed. Local offices had nc
opportunity to bid on this record.
The session will continue two more
days.

A. D. T. SERVICE.
MankatO Will Have It Next
Spring.
Western Union Telegraph Co. Preparing
to Take New Office Quarters
in q few Weeks.

The Western Union Telegraph Co. is
preparing to make some changes and
betterments in its service in this city.
1t is proposed to move the office from
its present location over the First
National bank, where it has been for
over twenty years, to the room on the
first floor in the rear of the bank. This
will be much more convenient place
for the patrons of the office, and it will
be warmer in winter. An Office as
much patronized as this is ought to be
located on the ground floor. The Office
will be moved about Jan. 1st.
Another important innovation will
be the adoption next spring of the A.
d. T. service. This was adopted in the
twin cities two or three years ago with
much success. The plan is to have
messengers call for all kilograms where
twenty messages month are sent. In
other words, any business house or of
flee building which sends as many as
twenty messages month will be con-
nected up with the American District
Telegraph service and whenever mes.
sage is desired to be sent button will
be touched and an electric bell will
ring at the telegraph Office, and mes
senger boy will at once go to the place
and take the message to the telegraph
office, where it will be sent. This will
save many steps on the part of the busi-
ness men and their employees and will
facilitate business. The company
| finds that this convenience brings it
enough more business to pay for the
service, as often times a man will not
send message if he has to walk to the
telegraph Office when he is busy.

MISSION OF THE FAMILY.

Rev. Geo. III. Davis read very inter
esting paper Monday, before the
Social Science club on the Evolution
and Mission of the Family" He spoke
of the Importance of the family, follow
ed its upward growth, depicted some
of the evils that are working to its
downfall, and showed that on the puri-
ty of the family life rests the safety of
the nation. A general discussion fol-
lowed in which the Divorce evil and its
effect upon family life was discussed to
considerable extent, and the need of
federal marriage and divorce laws
pointed out.
The next meeting of the club will be
held on Tuesday evening, Dec 18th,
when S. D. Works will read paper on

THE NEW HOSPITAL
City Officials Inspect the Fine
Structure.
The Council Will Be Asked to Grant the
Free Use of City Water For
Time.

Monday afternoon the members of
the city council and board of public
works, the mayor and representatives
of the daily press were invited to in.
spect the new st. Joseph's hospital,
which they did under the guidance of
Leo S. Lamm and DR.. J. w. Andrews.
The party was received at the new
building by Sister Virginia, who is at
the head of the nineteen Sisters of the
Sorrowful Mother whose kindly SER
vice are devoted to the two hospitals
in this city. This Sister is now the
only one here of those who came three
years ago to take charge of Tourtellotte
hospital. She is an exceedingly pleas.
ant lady and exerts an influence for
good all around her. Rev. Father
Suter also welcomed the visitors, and
John Klein assisted in showing them
through the building.
The interior finish and equipment of
the building was revelation to those

whether there is better equipped hos
pital of it's size in the country. No ex-
pense, apparently. has been spared to
make it what it ought to be. A full
description of the building will ap-
pear in these columns tomorrow.
The Sisters intend to ask the city to
donate for time what water is used
in the building. They have been at
large expense and have prepared a
splendid hospital, and until it becomes
self sustaining they feel that the city
can afford to allow them what water
they use free of cost. They point to
the fact that this encouragement was
extended to the Saulpaugh hotel for a
time, and believe that their institution
is no less deserving.
The aldermen and the visitors were
most favorably impressed with the
building and if the council can see
it's way clear to grant the request that
will be made it will undoubtedly do

Mr., Roberts, the gentleman from
Utah." was yesterday denied the privi-
lege of being sworn in as member of
the Fifty-sixth congress. The main
points of protest are that Roberts is not
a citizen, since ''at all times after 1888
he was and now is a bigamist and
polygamist," contrary to the law; that
he has been prosecuted and punished
for unlawful cohabitation with more
than one woman" that he was born of
British parents within the British realm,
and has never renounced his allegiance
to Queen Victoria With these facts
set forth, backed by petitions said to
contain fully 1000, 600 names protesting
against the seating of the Utah mem
Der, it is pretty safe to predict that Mr..
Roberts will never become, in fact, a
member of the present congress, And
he ought not to. His case has been re.
ferred to special committee for in.
vestigation, and his fate will be deter.
mined very early in the session.

Roberts Case q Drawing Card at the

! WASHINGTON, Dec. 5. - Enormous
crowds witnessed the opening scenes in
the house. The principal interest GEN.
Mr. Roberts, Mormon member from
Utah. Those who anticipated a sensa-
tional denouement were disappointed.
The programme outlined by the Re-
publican leaders at their conference on
Thursday night was practically carried
out. The objection to the administra-
ton of the oath to Mr.. Roberts was en-
tered by Mr.. Tayler of Ohio as pre-
dicted and he stepped aside without
protest except to ask if by doing so he
waived any of his rights. To this the
speaker responded in the negative. Mr..
Tayler offered his resolution to
Refer to a Special Committee,

Grafton of the resolution was post
poned.

features went off without hitch. The
only other feature out of the ordinary
was the adoption of the Reed rules for

knew it was futile to more than protest
against the adoption of these rules after
the Republicans had decided upon this
course in caucus and the debate upon
the resolution to adopt them was very
brief. They were adopted by strict

The anti expansionists have been de-
claring all the time that the German.
Americans would be found against ex-
pansion, and that they would leave the
Republican party almost in body.
This prediction was not borne out in
the recent election in Iowa, and it is
not borne out by inquiries in Wiscon-
sin. The editor of the Herold, pub
lished at Milwaukee, sent out a list of
questions to representative Republican
German-Americans throughout Wis
consin as to their views upon the mat
ter Of expansion and what should be
done with the Philippines, and the
large majority of those who have re.
piled favor the retention of the Philip
pines by this country. The German
Americans are progressive people,
and they are as quick to note the ad-
vantages that will come from a foot
hold in the Orient, as anyone. Out of
over one hundred answers received by
the Herold, only ten were in favor of
dropping the Philippines outright and
recalling our troops. This is a pretty
good illustration as to where the Ger
man-Americans stand. Unlike Mr..
Atkinson and some of his followers,
they are not scared at their shadow,
