titude with respect to annexation ana
the conduct Of the fire department last
Saturday afternoon have been mlsun-
derstood. He has not, he says Been
oDDosed to annexation. When the le-
cal proceedings were begun against
the additions some time ago. ne was
appo:ntsd to canvass his neignDorhood
to ascertain the sentiment. He found
majority opposed to annexation,
without a guaranty of munlclP2i M
movements. He merely joined the ma

name to the answer TO the petition Tor
annexation at the request Of ms
neiehbofs. because he was the earliest

Judge Street directed the couEt
records to show that Burt Harris had
been indicted and aTraignad. Harris
crime was the burglary OF two saloons
in one night few months ago. He
was so drunk that he plainly had no
knowledge of his whereabouts, or Ct

NEW FIRM.
MankatO Gets Another Whole.
)ljt
A Building to Be Erected on Front
Street for an Agricultural I'm.
plement Business.

Mankato is to have an important ad-
dition to its wholesale business in the
spring, involving the practical erection
of new building. A new firm will be
started, one of the members being
James Hickey, the popular CONNER
cial agent of a large Minneapolis house,
and it is rumored that the other mem
Der will be Chas Sohre, of Good Thun-
der. The firm will do wholesale bust
ness in agricultural implements.
The old building on South Front
street now occupied by Mrs Hickey as
a millinery store is to be rebuilt and
mace two full stories high and seventy
feet longer than it is at present. This
building will then be occupied by the
new firm, who will carry large stock.
rsankstois splendid location such
a business, owing to its central location
and the railroad facilities Both
Messrs. Hickey and Sohre have had
wide experience in the business, and
the firm will no doubt prove strong
one.

CHANGES PROBABLE.
Catholic Priests May be Promoted Soon,
if Reports are True.

The Mapleton Enterprise says that
Father Fox, of that place, was in
structed to prepare for change to take
place about the first of the year, and In
accordance with the request he has
been busy settling up the business of
the parish with view of turning 1t
if over to a successor, should one be
named. 1t is rumored that should a
change be made there, says the Enter
prise, that one will also be made at
Mankato and Father Prior, who has
been here for the past twelve to fifteen
years, will give way to a successor.
Minnesota Lake will also come in for
a new man to succeed the late Father
Matteson, Rev Fox having filled the
vacancy since the death of Rev.
Matteson.
Father Prior is worker and pulpit
oratar of more than ordinary ability,
and has built up his church in a very
satisfactory manner. That ne de
serves something good, if change is to
be made, is the general feeling of our
people, who will sincerely regret to lose
him. He is undoubtedly one OF the
most popular pastors ever stationed in
the city.

to prevent all the goods that had been

from being stolen. A number of things
were stolen, as it was. as some people
seemed to think that they were at liber-

caught one man with a can of syrup in
each pocket and another pocket filled
with nuts, and made the fellow. dis

articles, and one young girl was seen
running up the alley with big red box
of candy. Several men assisted the

property until it could be stored, but

goods were disgraceful

PHILLIPPI SOLD.
Minneapolis Ball Club Gets New
Players.
Clarence SauIpaugh Talks of Next Years
Base Ball Season and Changes
Made.

Clarence Saulpaugh, who has been
reelected treasurer of the Minneapolis
base ball company. looks forward to a
great revival of interest in base ball
next year. Last season was not pro-
fitable one, as the war took up the at
tention of the people, and the crowds
preferred to stand in front of the bulle-
tin boards than to patronize the ball
games.
The Minneapolis club has been
greatly strengthened by the purchase
of three crack players from the Ma
tional League. Harley Parker, a
pitcher, has been purchased from
Kansas City; Germany Smith, short
stop, has been purchased from st.
Louis; and Ed. Abbiticchio, a second
baseman, has been purchased from
Philadelphia. With these accessions,
the club is expected to stand up to the
top next year.
Phillippi, the former Mankato
pitcher, has been sold to Louisville,
for the National League. He has i'm
proved in his work right along, and his
loss will be regretted by friends of the
Minneapolis club.
Mr.. Saulpaugh, who represents the
Minneapolis company in the Western
League, states that a meeting will be
held late in February or early in March
to arrange the schedule for next year,
A meeting will also be held between
now and then to transact other
business.
The salaries of players will range
about the same for next year as the
past season, the limit not being
changed A reduction was made last
year from the year before, on account
of the falling off in business.
Mr.. Saulpaugh will spend the winter
in Mankato. He is highly pleased
with the improvements made in the
hotel by the new manager and lessee,
Mr.. Snyder.

some of their surplus at smaller rates of
interest than usual. Representatives of
eastern capital are sending money back
instead of loaning more of it. as nobody
wants it. Money that was formerly
eagerly grabbed for at seven and eight
per cent, now goes begging for six.
The merchants of Mankato have
reaped a golden harvest the past season
owing to the general abundance. With
the laboring men all employed at
steady jobs and farmers prospecting,
money has flowed through the chan.
nels OF trade more rapidly than for
years. Bills are discounted promptly,
and there is no longer talk of anybody
being ''shaky"
With such splendid record of pros
perity to look back upon the past year,
let us hope that the same may be the
case year from now, and that the
nineteenth century, which came in
amid the storm and upheaval of
NapOleonic wars and awakening in
stincts of liberty, may go out with such
peace and plenty as will make the close
of the century in sharp contrast with
its convHlsive opening.
