REPORT YOUR NAMES,

The question of asking for recount
of the census of Mankato has been
taken hold of in earnest, and every
effort will be made to secure the con-
sent of the authorities to this end.
That there have been many omissions
of residents in the various wards is
proven beyond doubt, and the only
way left to get such parties on the
enumerator's list is to make a recount
of the city. The committee appoint
ed by the citizens meeting held ses-
sion at the board of trade rooms last
evening, and through system of
procedure was arranged. 1t is es-
pecially requested that parties know
ing to the omission Of their own
names from the census rolls or the
names of any other parties, report the
fact to James Shoemaker, or any mem
Der of the committee, or leave them at
the Free Press or Review office.
1t is hoped that every citizen of
Mankato will take personal interest in
this matter, as it is all important that
our city be credited with every name
it is Justly entitled to.

SURPLUS OF S3l5.
The Modern W0Odman Picnic q Finan-
cial Success.

The committee of arrangements for
the Modern Woodmen picnic present
ed a financial report at the meeting
of the camp Tuesday night. Its re-
port was very gratifying, showing
that all of the bills had been paid and
that 1915 remained This amount a
little more than offsets what the coun
Gil lost on last years picnic, and is
much greater than the members ex-
pected. The camp thanked the COM
mittee for it's faithful work and dis
charged it. The camp desired the
members of the committee to accept
some remuneration for the time spent
but they refused to take any money.
1t was voted to lay the 1915 aside as
a special fund for building purposes,
and to add to it from time to time.
This fund is not to be drawn upon for
any other purpose. The camp hopes to
eventually put up a building of its
own,

The Twin City's Greatest Daily.

Among the exchanges which come
to our editorial table none takes the
place of the Minneapolis Tribune. It
is without question the representative
daily of the northwest Not alone is
it the. paper of largest known circula-
tion west of Chicago, but its standing
among the best class of readers-the
actual leaders of thought and senti-
ment throughout the northwest is alb
solutely unique.
The Tribune is, first of all Repub-
lican newspaper. 1t is not party or
gan, or the instrument of any person
or clique There is no attempt to
manufacture sentiment through it's
columns for one man or against anoth-
er. At the same time it's editorial
page presents a character for strength
and virility seldom found
In so far as an outsider can Judge,
it seems to be the belief of the man
agement of The Tribune that while
the Republican party and Republicans
may not always be right, they are SO
much more likely to be right than
their Populistic and Democratic op-
ponents that the rule may as well be
made general and the Republican
CdllSO SuppOl UOu CNOly UlIlO.
But the Tribune is valuable for other
reasons, even more than because it is
practically the only consistent Repub-
lican daily in the Twin Cities. The
Tribune is primarily a newspaper. 1t
is the quality which gives it the large
circulation and the influence among
the newspaper readers. The foreign
war service, including the summary
from London cabled every day, has en-
abled Tribune readers to get the drift
of the Boer- English war up to the very
hour of going to press. So with the
Philippine war news, general national
politics from Washington and the news
of the Northwest. All the news is
well edited, making it easy to gather
from hasty glance at The Tribune
the days doings of the world.
The Sunday Tribune is veritable
libary volume each week. 1t is a long
Sundays job to read it through, but
it's variety is so great and its interest
ing composition of such character
that every member of the family
wants turn at what is justly called

WINDOW FIRE.
Part of the Town Wiped Out
Saturday.
M 10 Gates, Formerly of This City, is One
of The Sufferers. -Pour Neighbor.
log Towns Send Help.

Window had big fire Saturday that
threatened to wipe the town off the
map. The fire started in the central
part of the community, on the north
side of the park, and heavy north
west wind famed on the flames.
Neighboring towns were appealed to
for aid, and Worthington, Heron Lake,
Luverne and ST. James sent their fire
companies. The flames were gotten
under control at about 2 80 p. m.
Only one man was injured, John
Bila, who was caught under a falling
building and seriously, possibly fatally
hurt.
Among those who suffered from the
fire was Milo D. Gatas, former resi-
dent of Mankato, who has been en-
gagged in the hardware business at
Window for several years His store
and residence burned, but the goods
were mostly saved.
The fire started in barn back of
Quevli's drug store, and is supposed to
have been set by someone.
Mr.. Quevli's drug, grocery and dry
goods stores were burned, and his
stock is a total loss In half of the
drug store was a jewelry store owned
by A. G. Cone.
The business block owned by Rob
inson & Robinson. with offices up stairs
and dry goods and grocery stores down
stairs, is gone, only the walls remain
ing. The goods were saved.
The residence owned by Mr.. Tilford
and occupied by Mr.. Cone is gone,
Several barns also were burned.
There was some insurance on all of
the property destroyed, but just how
much could not be ascertained that
afternoon.

Auto, SERVICE
1t lsN-ooked Upon With Favor
By the Board of Trade.
Move to Agi'ate the Building of Cheaper
Modern HOuses,-SpecisI Meeting
Tuesday TO Meet Capt. Reed.

AT the board of trade Monday
communication was received from
the La Crosse jobbers and commercial
union regarding the draft of new
bill it has authorized to be framed in
place of the Cullom bill. which it
states that the senate committee has
decided to report adversely upon The
union also suggested that meeting of
the board of trade and kindred bodies
OF the northwest at an early date, in
relation to this matter, and suggested
La Crosse as a good place for such
meeting. The communication was re-
ferred to committee on manufactures.
President Shoemaker stated that
Mayor Currier had received tele-
phone dispatch from Capt Reed, of
Glencoe, stating that he would be in
the city Tuesday, and would
like to meet our citizens. President
Shoemaker suggested that meeting
OF the board of trade and citizens be
held at one O'Clock for the purpose of
meeting him and seeing what he has
to say about railroad matters.
The census matter coming up the Sec
rotary was instructed to invite Con-
gresham McCleary to attend the next
meeting of the board and talk over the
census matter with the board
DR.. Andrews called attention to the
fact that there is lack of small,
modern houses, at moderate rent, and
hoped that the board could do some
thing to encourage the building of such
houses.
D. G. Davies was present and was
invited to address the board as to his
experience in this matter He stated
that he had large number of calls for
houses from five to seven rooms. Said
he had had more applications for such
houses than he could supply and knew
that large number of families were
prevented from coming here because
they could not get modern houses at
moderate rent.
DR.. Andrews further called attention
to the fact that that central portion of
the city is pretty well built up AMI
that we must now look to the outly-
ing districts, but that in order to do
this some means of rapid transit must
be provided. MankatO he said,
ought to have an electric car line.
This has been talked Of but nothing
has become of it as yet, and he was
afraid nothing would, as it meant
large expense. But he believed that the
same objects could be obtained at
fraction of the expense through the use
of the automobile, and favored the
formation of a company for that pur-
pose. He thought company with
capital of so, 600 could be formed,
which would handle a service for the
city in good shape. This idea seemed
to meet favor with members of the
board. The doctor moved that the
chair appoint a committee of five real
estate men, or men interested in that
line, to look into and agitate the mat
ter Of the erection Of modern houses
to meet the demand, also the matter
of rapid transit with the automobile
in view The motion was adopted and
President Shoemaker appointed as such
committee, Dr. j. W. Andrews, Geo.
M. Palmer, D. G. Davis, ". P. Coffin
and Jno. n Hall.
A E. Clark was elected director of
the board and the board adjourned.

THE CROPS FINE.
Blue Earth County Will Harvest Big
Average This Year.

A drive to Lake Crystal Sunday
revealed the fact that the crops along
the entire distance are in first class
condition and promise large yield
Wheat is splendid stand and is some
what better than the average. 1t is
thick, with heads of good size, and has
plenty of straw. Barley and oats are
nearly ripe and some fields will be
ready to cut in less than week. Corn
is forging ahead rapidly and most of
the fields are very promising. Oc-
casionally one is found that was plant
ed late or that has come up unevenly.
A second crop of hay is an assured
fact
The same report of excellent crops
comes from all other parts of the
county, and our farmers are bound to
be right in it next fall with the higher
range of prices. The present cool
weather is the very thing that wheat
needs and will do corn no harm as it
will give the stalks time to strengthen
