BURNED TO THE GROUND.
A Residence ia the North Part of the
City DESTROYED.

A dwelling at the corner of Vine
and Oak streets, in the north part of
the city, burned at about nine o'clock
last night 1t belonged to the estate
Of the late o. R. Mather and was oc-
cupied by Chas. J. Peterson and
family. The family was absent at the
time the fire started and it is not
known definitely what caused the fir e
unless it was Goals falling onto the
floor from the stove. Neighbors dis
covered the fire and turned in still
alarm from the Great Western depot,
but the flames had so great Roadway
and the wind was blowing SO stron gly
that the fremen turned their attention
to saving adjacent property.
Mr.. Peterson and family lost all of
their household goods, but saved some
clothing The loss on building will
probably be $500, with no insurance.
Had Mrs. Peterson left her two babies
in the house when she went out last
evening, as she had at first intended,
they would probably have persisted
for the childrens' bed was on fire
when the house was entered.

TT is GOVERNOR VAN SAINT.

Returns of sufficient defniteness have
been received to point conclusively to
the election of Capt. S. R. Van SAINT
for governor. 1t was battle royal
Nothing like it has ever been known
in the history of Minnesota politics.
Governor Lind has shown himself pos
sessed of wonderful vote getting quail
ties, and he is to be congratulated even
in defeat. No other man in the state
could have stood for election on the
opposition ticket for governor against
Capt. Van SAINT and come within
twenty-five thousand votes of election.
His defeat by what promises to be not
more than five thousand votes, with
Mckinley carrying the state by over
sixty thousand, is tribute to John
Lind's popularity that must cause the
governor to feel jubilant even if forced
to retire to private life. The great
difference between Van SAINTS vote
and that of President Mckinley can
not be charged to the formers unpop-
nlarlty, but rather to Governor Lind's
strong hold upon the affections of the
people.
While the Democrats had splendid
state organization they could not stand
up against the giants of the Republi-
can organization-Bixby and Master
man. To the credit of these two gen.
tlemen, aided of course by strong ar
ray of men that composed the Repub-
lican state central committee, is due
the splendid victory snatched from a
determined and desperate opposition.
Mr.. Bixby has been the guiding spirit in
several hard-faught battles in this
state, but he has never lost a contest
When the Democrats came within two
thousand votes of defeating McGill for
governor Mr.. Bixby was a member
of the state committee, and four years
ago when Mr.. Lind came within three
thousand of defeating Governor
Clough, he managed the fight. This
years contest proves Tams practically
invincibIe in political battle
The fight on governorship was too
close for comfort, and while the Re-
publican candidate has safe majority,
its closeness has caused heart palpita-
ton among the victors to a remarkable
degree, with threatened. heart failure
in several instances. - But "a miss is
as good as mile, " and the Republi-
cans are therefore happy and content
with small majority.

Davis voting Eyes, and Messrs.
Keysor and Comstock voting'sno It
was also agreed to ask all of the ply
sicians in the city to cooperate.
Capt Keysor introduced five year
contract with the Citizens Telephone
Co. for the use of five telephones in
the school buildings at 800 year for
the lot. He moved that it be approved.
Mr.. Wilson objected to tying the
district up for five years, as the sue
cessors of the present board may not
want to keep the telephones. The
board could afford to pay more for an
indefinite period than for five years
as proposed.
President Davis said that he had the
same objection as Mr.. Wilson. He
did not like the five years clause.
The motion was defeated, four to
two, Messrs. Keysor and Webster being
the only ones favoring it.
Mr.. Comstock moved that the secre-
tary be authorized to contract for the
phones for one year on the same
terms.
1t developed that two of the phones
now in are unler contract for five
years, and Mr.. Comstock withdrew
his motion.
Capt. Keysor moved that the three
phones now in be taken out, but
this received no second.
The bills were allowed.
Secretary Brewster stated that H
P. Christensen had lost an order for
$26 for insurance premium on school
buildings and desired a duplicate.
This was ordered issued, on motion of
Mr.. Comstock.
Capt. Keysor moved that the city
authorities be ordered to move the
Byron street hose house off of the
Pleasant Grove school grounds, and if
they do not that rent be charged for
the ground while it remains there
He said that ne notified the authorities
two months ago to move the building
and that they had promised TO do so
within week, but that they had not
done so yet. He, favored charging S.
or $40 a month rent, in order to get
back some of the water rent being
paid the city.
The motion was carried and the
board adjourned

MADISON LAKE.

Madison Lake. Nov. mo tele-
graphic election returns were received
here Tuesday night owing to the in
ability of the station agent and the
people to agree upon price. The re-
ports by telephone were very unsatis-
factory, and would be practically
valueless in close election. But the
heavy vote for Mckinley was an
nounced in general terms by telephone,
and the Republicans went to bed
feeling pretty cheerful. The papers
today confirm the reports of last
night, and, while not burning red fire
or emitting ear-splitting yells, the Re-
publicans are rejoicing quietly over
the old time victory.
Madison Lake village lost many Re-
publican votes by death and removal
since 1898. Yet they increased their
vote over that of '9S, and feel well
satisfied with the result. The in
crease of the Republican vote in James
town is one of the gratifying features
of the campaign. Sixteen votes were
the most the Republicans ever polled
in Jamestown until prosperity brought
out 81 for Mckinley this year.
w. R. Thompson was twelve votes
ahead of Freeman at the close of the
canvass of the mems ballots, but at

M'CLEARY'S VICTORY,

Congressman McCleary has won a
most notable victory OF course he
had cinch on the district from the
first. This was known by everybody
and so admitted. His opponents said
they had no hope of defeating him,
but they did hope to cut down his
plurality by several thousand. And
even many Of his own party were of
the belief that he could not come up
with some of his past pluralities and
that if he reached 5, 900 or 6, 900 to the
good, it would be all that he could
expect. But these results sweep away all
expectations. AS will be seen by the
figures published in another column
the district with three counties miss
ing, Mr.. McCleary has plurality of
8, 622. His plurality in the three
counties from W hich the vote of each
could not be obtained aggregate 2, $50,
which brings his total plurality up
to II, 58S. This may be cut down
somewhat by the official figures, and
it may not, but it is hardly prob
able that it will go below II, OOO
This is indeed a victory, of
which Mr.. McCleary may well be
proud. 1t is a splendid endorsement
of Mr.. McCleary's able work in con-
gress and the faithful manner in which
he has looked after the various inter
ests of his constituents. It marks well
the intelligence of the people and their
desire to uphold the efforts of Presi-
dent Mckinley in his work for the
nation.
On all the great questions which
have come before congress, Mr. Nc
Cleary has invariably been upon the
side of the people and strongly and
eloquently advocated their cause and
voted in their behalf and the result of
last Tuesday proves most emp hatically
that the great common people whom
Lincoln loved are not ungrateful to a
man when he stands steadfast to their
interests.

PUPILS HEALTH.
Doctors Will Examine the SChOI-

School Board Accepts an Important Pro-
position Coming From the
Normal School,

The regular meeting of the school
board last night was brief one, but
there was time enough for the trans
action of considerable business. All
of the members were present except
Messrs. Fletcher and Coughlan.
Prof. Partridge, of the normal
school, appeared before the board and
asked that the city schools cooperate
with the normal school in having the
pupils given free physical examina-
ton once year, in order to discover
whether they are suffering from any
disease that ought to be treated, for
the protection of both themselves and
the other pupils. The plan is to first
send out a circular to the parents,
outlining the plan and object of the
move, allowing them to decide
whether they will permit their child
rem to be examined. When permission
is given, the examination will be
made free of expense and if the pupil
eeds medical attention the parents
will be so notified. Prof. Partridge
said that the normal school stands
ready to inaugurate the move, but
does not desire to go into it without
the cooperation of the city schools.
He had talked the matter over with
some of the local physicians and some
of them had held meeting to con-
slider it and had decided to assist with
out expense His idea was to ask all
of the physicians in the city to CO.
operate.
DR.. Webster stated that the object
sought by this move was good one.
The need of it is known to physicians,
although it was not the physicians
who proposed it. The physicians
were willing to give their time with
out compensation. He hoped that all
of the profession would be asked to
cooperate.
Mr. Wilson, after some further dis
cussion, moved that it was the sense
of the board that the city schools Co
operate with the normal in the physi-
cal examination of pupils at their OPP
tion, and that the superintendent be
authorized to carry this out.
Mr. Comstock said that it was a
matter of grave Importance, and
would be such a great innovation
that parents might misunderstood it.
He believed in the purpose of the
movement, but did not know whether
it would be wise to put it into force
at once.
Supt. Uline said that circulars would
be sent to the parents first, explaining
the matter.
President Davis said that he did not
see why there should be friction. There
would be some little criticism, as there
always is about every new move, but
that need not brighten the board
Supt Uline said that he considered
that about one parent out of four or
FIVE woul respon | and give their con-
sent to havin; their children ex-
amined. Where children were sick,
almost all would avail themselves of
the opportunity of having free ex-
animation.
The motion was carried, Mrs Smith
and Messrs. Webster, Wilson and
The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1900-11-09

The above are the figures as gathered
from an unofficial source but the most
of them are practically correct. With
the figures from three counties miss
ing, Mr.. McCleary has plurality of
8,622. In Faribault county Mr.. Nc
Cleary has about 1000 plurality, in
Murray about $50, and in Watonwan
6OO These bring his plurality up to
H., $50, which exceeds by over 5000
the highest plurality he ever received
and probably leads that of any other
district in the state. From present
information Mr.. McCleary has car
ried every county in the district and
is glory enough for one year.

And now they are getting off the
same old gag that the solid South
won't hang together in 1904 With the
negro vote eliminated by their con-
stitutional amendments, it must be
only question of time when theSouth
will break up politically. But it is
not likely to do so at once. Prejudice
is hard thing to get over, and it will
take some years for it to wear off.
Time is the healer of all things, but it
will take more than four years to over
come the political feeling that exists
through the South toward the North.
But a good start has been made in
keeping West Virginia and Maryland.
