AN UNEXPECTED DEATH.
o. L. Steenberg Dies at His home of
Throat Trouble.

0. L. Steenberg died at his home at
500 s Front street, Monday morning at
200 O'Clock. He was 40 years of age,
and came to this country from Chris
tiana, Norway, with his parents about
1870, and came to Mankato about 1891,
when he bought an interest in business
with A. J. Anderson of this city, and
about year ago became the sole pro-
prietor. He was married about six
years ago to Miss Cora J. Swartz,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. J. M. Swartz,
of Eagle Lake. He leaves mother re-
siding in Vernon County and four
sisters and four brothers, among them
being our well known travelling sales.

funeral has not as yet been set, but will
be announced in tomorrow's paper.
Mr.. Steenberg was taken ill couple
of weeks ago with an obstinate and
peculiar throat difficulty. The attend
ing physician called in several doctors
who were attending the medical con-
vention for consultation. Mr.. Steen-
berg was well liked by all who knew
him.

Miscellaneous Matters.

City Recorder Williams reported that
CALVIN Smith had paid S56.23 to the
city. the amount of his shortage,
This leaves only w. 81. Shepard yet to
make up his deficiency. 1t was decided
to give Mr. Shepard a little further
time.
President Porter reported that the
water pipe for proposed extensions of
the mains had been purchased at 500 80
per ton f. o. b. cars in Mankato, and
the report was accepted.
Aid. Jordan moved that the city at
torney be directed to serve notice on
the Omaha road to open Gibbon street
and widen the other street crossings in
West Mankato, and if this is not done
to commence suit. This was carried.
The mayor asked the committee on
claims and accounts to examine the
books and accounts of the city officials
and report at the next meeting. This
was in response to suggestion from
the city recorder.
The board of public works made a
requisition for 1915 for street work and
S75 for water works repairs. Granted.
The board of public works reported
the following addition to the present
plans and specifications relating to the
construction of stone sidewalks:

PARTLY FILLED UP.
This Has Caused the Loss of Flow oil
one Artesian Well.

The work of repairing the big mill
we'll brought out new phase of the
ma tier Saturday. 1t developed that
the lower hundred feet of the we'll was
filled with sand and gravel, thus shut
ting off the flow of water from the
lower vein. The force of the water
flowing out of the we'll was insufficient
to raise it and the sand pump was put at
work and brought out quantity of
gravel Since then, the flow of the we'll
has been sufficient to bring large
quantity of fine white sand to the sur
face as the pick it applied in loosening
it at the bottom. The we'll has thus
already been cleaned out good many
feet and the flow of water has already
increased. The we'll is to be cleaned to
the bottom.
1t begins to look as though the loss
in the flow of the we'll was due to the
filling up of the bottom, thus cutting
off part of the supply of the water.
The sand is brought in by the wearing
away of rocks, and the gravel comes
from the first stratum, about ninety
five feet below the surface of the
ground. When the well has been
cleaned to the bottom, the inside pipe
will be taken up and put down little
lower, so as to prevent any more gravel
getting into the we'll.

Will Not illuminate.

The committee on lighting reported
unfavorably upon the request that the
council illuminate the streets on the
the night of July Fourth, for the rea-
son that the days at that time of
the year are long and the 'city would
not be warranted in expanding $500 to
$500 for Illuminating purposes. The
report was adopted without debate.
The sewer committee reported an
estimate of the cost of the Fulton street
sewer at S1,168. The rate of assess
ment is estimated at Sc cents per foot
on each side of the street, aside from
house connections. The number of
feet to be assessed is 1880. The COM
mittee was given futher time.
The committee on ordinances report
ed favorably upon petition to pro-
hibit the herding of cattle and horses
and their running at large in West
Mankato west of Sibley street and
north of the old right of way of the
Omaha road
Aid. Jordan said that the herd boys
bring cattle there to herd and then go
off to the river to swim, leaving the
cattle to go where they want to.
City Attorney Daley said that the
ordinance prohibiting cattle running at
large covers the Sixth ward, and it is
only necessary to enforce the ordinance.
The committee took until the next
meeting to look into the matter
further. The West Mankato residents
want their own cattle to run at large,
but object to cattle being brought
there from other parts of the city.

moved that the board of public works

commended by the committee. and this
was carried
The committee on ways and means
was requested to continue its investiga-
tions in regard to coal for the fire sta
ton and city hall.

Busy Council Meeting.

The council held a busy sesslontrlday
evening and pushed along its work in a
commendable manner. Mayor Currier
was in the chair and all of the alder.
men were present
The complaints that have been made
/ regarding the conduct of Chief Bruels
and Officer Thilgen at the South Front
street shooting affair were formally
brought to the attention of the council
by the mayor. and the council will as
sist him in investigating the matter.
The two officers claim to be able to sat
isfactorily explain their conduct, and
in doing so it would not be surprising
if reflections were cast upon the con-
duct of other parties who were present.
It was late in the session when Mayor
Currier called attention to the Keene-
Lobdell shooting affair, and said that
there had been a good of talk among
the people rejecting upon the conduct
of the police. He had been talked to
by many people. Chief Bruels would
like to have an investigation, and he
had concluded to appoint special COM
mittee to investigate and report at the
next meeting in case the police were
found to be censurable. He named Aids.
Never, Weed and Leonard as COM
mittee.
Aid. Weed declined to serve on the
committee. He said that the charter
makes the mayor alone responsible in
cases of this kind. While the COM
mittee was about it. it might investi-
gate the mayor.
Aid. Jordan suggested that the COM
mittee ought to investigate the conduct
of several attorneys at the time of the
occurrence.
Aid. Meyer said that he had heard
several stories about the matter and
would like to get the right of it.
The mayor refused to let Aid. Weed
off, saying that he was simply calling
upon the aldermen to assist him in the
matter, and thought they would not re-
fuse.
Aid. Weed said that he would con-
tinue to refuse to serve.

Dog Catcher Criticised.

Aid Jordan asked what authority
Dog Catcher Beetsch has.
City Attorney Daley said that he was
appointed special policeman by the
mayor.
Aid. Jordan wanted to know whether
he has authority to catch dogs on PEG,
pies porches or in their kitchens.
Beech and dummy had gone on Mrs
Webbers porch and carried off little
dog which the children were playing
with. There is going to be trouble
about this, he said.
City Attorney Daley said that the
dog catcher has no right to trespass on
private property.
Aid. Taylor said that he had heard
complaints along this line.
City Recorder Williams said that
Beetsch denies having trespassed on
private property.
Mayor Currier said that he had ap.
pointed dog catcher at the request of
Chief Bruels, under whose directions he
works. He has instructions not to
tresspass on private property or to take
farmers dogs temporarily in the city.
The mayor promised to give Beetsch
further instructions.
Chief Bruels was called in and said
that Beetsch denies the various COM
plants. He said he would discharge
Beetsch if he does not perform his
duties right.
Park Supt. Blake said that Beetsch
had called the Webber dog off the
premises and then caught it.

ADMITS ITS EXISTENCE.

San Francisco Board of Health Says the
- Bubonic Plague Is There. II
SAN FRANCISCO, May 21.-The board
of health has adopted resolution de-
claring that bubonic plague exists in
San Francisco. The health authorities
say that while there are no living cases
here, there have been six deaths during
the past three months and they have de-
cided to take precautions against the
development and spread of the disease.
The resolution reads as follows:
Resolved, That it is the sense of this
board that bubonic plague exists in the
city and county Of San Francisco and
that all necessary steps already taken
for the prevention of its spread be con-
tinued together with such additional
measures as may be required"
The members of the board of health
say that there is absolutely no danger
of the development or the spread of the
disease at San Francisco.

All MongolianS Leaving the
City Must Submit to the
Treatment.
THEY ARE OPPOSED TO 1T
Both Chinese and Japanese
Retain Counsel to Contest
the Matter.
Say They Would Rather Die
From the PeStilence Than
Be Poisoned.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 21.-There are
no new developments in the plague sit
uation. No new cases have been dis
covered and the situation remains prac-
tically unchanged. This announce
ment has been made by the board of
health.
The incubation of Chinese and JAP
anese is quietly going on. From un-
official sources it is learned that JAP
anese and IL Chinese were inoculated
with haffkine Saturday and rs Japan
anese and 90 Chinese Sunday. At all
the exits of the city doctors are stationed
and unless a Chinese or japanese can
exhibit certificate of incubation he is
not permitted to pass the city limits.
The declaration of the board of health
that the plague exists in the Chinese
quarters of the city has produced no
alarm outside of the detention. The
chief feature of the situation lies in the
opposition Of the Chinese and Japan
csc to the incubation.
The situation of the board of health
is that the circumstances do not war;
rant the
Quarantining of the Chinese,
nor compelling theY to submit to in
oculation so long as they remain in the
city. Only those trying to leave the
city are required to be inoculated.
The Chinese and japanese as a whole
are opposed to incubation. They have
retained counsel to contest the matter
in the courts should the board resort to
| forcible measures.
The Chinese consul general stated
| that he would take no action until he is
more surely informed as to the plans of
the board of health, or until some de-
velopments in the situation requires
him to take action.
Business is suspended in the Chinese
quarter and knots of Chinese stand on
the streets discussing the situation, and
expressing their determination not to
submit to incubation. They say they
would rather die from the plague than
| poison.
