WANTS A PARDONING BOARD.
Governor Tyler has been given more
worry by the consideration Of applications
for pardon than by all other gubernatcIiai
duties combined. lie has frequently eX-
pressed desire for the creation OF
pardoning board with which he could d.
vide authority. The following letter TO the
editor Of the Fred ricksburg Free Lance
expresses his views on the subject:

THE NEXT PICNIC.
Wo0dmen are Likely to 90 to Whine.
bag0 City.

The local members of the Modern
Woodmen have concluded not to under
take to have the annual picnic come to
this city again next summer. The
lodge was out some money on last sea
sons picnic, which would have been a
greater success than it was had it not
been for the continuous rains and wash
outs 1t is an expensive matter to han
die the picnic, and as the business men
must be depended upon for the funds,
it is thought best not to ask them to
donate again.
1t is thought that the picnic will be
held at Winnehago City next summer
Mankato will probably vote to hold it
there. Owatonna wanted the picnic
last summer, but is understood not tc
desire it for next summer. The picnic
association meets in February to decide
upon place for holding the next picnic
and thus far no candidates have beer
heard from aside from Winnebago City

A $3.50 LOSS.
Andrew Linder's Residence Damaged by
Fire.

Andrew Linder's residence. at No.
211 Fulton street, was damaged by fire
Tuesday. M. Under and his little
boy were alone in the house, at about
eight o'clock, sitting in the library
when they smelled smoke. Mr.. Linder
went through the next two rooms, and
when he opened the kitchen door he
was confronted with big burst of
flames, He hastily closed the door to
prevent draft and turned in an alarm
from box AZ, which was near by. The
fire department responded promptly
and succeeded in extinguishing the
flames by means of chemicals, after a
hard fight The fire had worked into
the walls and ceiling, and it was neces-
sary to chop several holes.
No water was turned on and report
spread that the MIGRANTS ere frozen.
Engineer Thompson and Fred Day
cried the MIGRANTS this morning and
found that they are not frozen. Mr..
Thompson states that in cold weather
the iron contracts and the hydrant caps
unscrew much harder than in summer,
which probably accounts for the report
last night that the hydrants were
frozen up
Mr.. Under estimates the darage to
his dwelling and it's contents at $3.50
fully covered by insurance The
kitchen was badly burned and the new
walls in the adjoining rooms were
smoked. 1t is not known how the fire
started, but Mr.. Under was heating
some water on gasoline stove, and the
gasoline may have run over and caught
fire.

THE ST. PETER AFFAIR.

The ST. Peter Tribune gives the fol-
lowing account of the trouble in that
city which led to the arrest of four
young men in this city Tuesday:
Sunday evening about six o'clock,
four drunken bummers from Mankato
drove south on Minnesota avenue, driv-
ing as fast as the horses could go and
yelling like Camanche savages. Frank
Lundgren and Peter Swenson, of
Oshawa, were driving a one horse rig
Just ahead of them. and hearing them
coming undertook to reach the cross
street at Joseph Engesser's to get out
of their way, but failed to do SO before
the 'bums" were onto them. AS the
drunken crowd reached the side of the
young mems buggy. they struck the
horse with a whip which caused him to
run away, At Engesser's corner the
horse dashed against telephone pole
smashing the buggy and throwing the
young men to the frozen ground injur-
ed them severely. Decessitating the at
tention of a physician. The horse,
having broken loose from the buggy.
was caught back of the college, The
drunken rowdies drove on towards
Mankato, making no investigation of
the results of their deviltry. The
young men swore out warrants for
their sarrest, and yesterday Marshal
Thavis went to Mankato to arrest and
bring the guilty party to st. Peter for a
hearing.

in o. w. Schmidt's harness store, re-
ceived telegram Sunday announcing

ton, S. D., about six weeks ago, having
it is said, embezzlsd somewhere from
S22, 900 to $50, 900 from the county

where he committed suicide by jump
ing into the Mississippi river. His
body was found Saturday by deck
hands on a ferry boat, who saw
lit floating near the shore. 1t
was the body of mao about 81 years
of age, we'll clad, and had been in the
water apparently only short time
The only thing which served to identify
the man was a silver card case found in
one of che pockets. Engraved on this
was the name and address: "a. W.
Peterson, Yankton, s, D." The body
was removed to the morgue.
The deceased was a half brother OF
Mrs. Gilbert Gutterson, of Lake Crys-
tai He resided at that place for four
or five years. Thiswas eighteen OF
twenty years ago, and helearned the
harness trade of VIM. Seeger He Wis

as it implied doubt as to the di-
vinity OF Christ, and could not be
termed strictly orthodox.
Dr. Lancaster believes in the ex-
istence OF an undereloped frontal
lobe Of the brain, and marvellous
things are to happen IN this old
world OF ours when its full powers
are brought into use. The idea
was a new one 10 a majority OF
the audience. very few of them be
ing aware of being possessed OF
any undeveloped brain matter.
In some cultured circles, however,
it is claimed that the idea is not
new, and it has long been one OF
the principal ,ene,s OF their faith.
They believe in the existence OF
the surplus brain matter. all they
lack is the inspiration.
