BOARD OF TRADE.
Several Matters Occupy Its Attention
Monday Morning.

Mayor Currier was present at the
board of trade Monday morning and re-
ported what was done before the state
railroad and warehouse commission re-
garding the reduction of rates to the
smaller and interior towns of the state
and especially to Mankato. Messrs
Currier and Patterson were the only
members of the committee appointed
by the board of trade who attended the
meeting before the commission.
There was no meeting on May 18th, but
on May 23d full hearing was had and
Messrs. Currier and Patterson present.
ed fully the case of Mankato. The COM
mission has taken the matter under adj
visement until June 26th Mr. Currier
said he felt that the decision of the
board would be favorable to the in
terests of Mankato, bur the probability
is, he said, that if rates are reduced, the
roads will fight the matter in the
courts,
There was some railroad discussion,
as result of which the secretary was
instructed to enter into correspondence
with the proposed Fargo & Northwest.
ern and see what its intentions are.
Mr.. Williams appeared before the
board in the interest of his Touring
mill, which he wishes to rebuild
through stock company. The matter
was referred to the committee on
manufactures to give Mr. Williams
such assistance as may be necessary to
organize stock company.
w. A. Funk was elected director of
the board to fill vacancy.

AN ADDITIONAL CARRIER.
MankatO's Free Delivery Service Will be
Improved.

The constantly increasing postal
business of the Mankato office has
reached such a point as to make an ad-
ditional carrier necessary in order to
meet the demands of the public. The
incoming mails are especially heavy,
and it not infrequently happens that
several blocks on some of the carrier
routes are not served on the second or
afternoon trip. Besides these omis-
sions, which are very annoying to the
public and equally disagreeable to the
local postoffice. there is constant de.
mand made by parties residing outside
the present carrier district for extern
sion of the service,
On his recent visit to Mankato,
the attention of Congressman McCleary
was called to the pressing needs for an
improvement of the free delivery SER
vice by the addition of another carrier.
and heunhesitatingly promised that the
matter should receive his best efforts to
that end. How we'll he has succeeded
is Hsul.d IN tbs information of tela-
gram that a new carrier will be APP
pointed and an extension of the free de-
livery service inaugurated October 1st.
This will certainly be good news to our
people, and furnishes fresh evidence, if
any were needed. that Mr.. McCleary
is ready at any and all times to serve
his constituency to the utmost.
Under the present carrier arrange
ment, many of the professional offices
cannot be served with more than two
daily deliveries. 1t is confidently ex-
pected that with an additional carrier,
an extra delivery can be made to most
OF these.
The past two years have witnessed
some very pleasing additions to the
public building, and to the postal SER
vice in thi city. An additional clerk
has been added to the force which
obviates the nuisance so long suffered
by the public of having the general de-
ClO6cu Ill tAC VI UhO odJ
for an hour or more while the distribu-
ton of mail was going on. A new can
ceiling machine has been added which
is of great convenience and facilitates
the work of the Office very much. Re-
volving doors have taken the place of
those finger smashing things that never
should have been put up. Two fine
jury rooms have been constructed in
the attic building, and an order has
been received for the painting and
vanishing of the wood work
and painting of the walls and
ceiling in color effect of the
ground floor or postoffice department of
the building. Credit for all of these
improvements and additions are due to
Congressman McCleary's watchful in
terest after the welfare of the people of
his home city, and it cannot be disput-
ed that the public appreciate his sue
cess in making the postal service of
Mankato equal, if not superior, to any
city in Minnesota.

ANOTHER RAILROAD.

A. Fl Denniston, of Foxhome, Mimi ,
is spending few days in the city. He
states that the Fargo, Duluth & North
western road is to be built to the 500
line, striking it at a point two miles
west of Wendall, this summer Next
year 1T may be extended to Mankato,
and then from Fargo to Duluth and
thence west He does not think that
the 500 road is back of the enterprise,
but thinks that it is Independent. The
road is not seeking bonuses, but does
ask for right of way. The road would
be of much benefit to Mankato, as it
would open up large western market.

The Put.It.Offs.

My friends, have you heard of the town of Yawn
On the banks of the River Slow,
Where blooms the Wait-a while flower fair
Where the Sometime-or- other scents
the air
And the soft Go-easys grow?
1t lies in the valley of What's-the-use,
In the province of Letter-slide;
That tired feeling is native there,
It's the home of the istless I-don't-c
Where the Put-it-offs abide.
The Put-it-otfs smile when asked to Insure,
And say they will do it tomorrow,
And so they delay from day unto day,
Till death cycles up and takes them away,
And their families beg, steal or borrow.

THE ECLIPSE.

The partial eclipse of the sun Monday
morning was distinctly visible. even to
the naked eye, for thin clouds some
times partially obscured the sun. The
maximum was reached at about 7:50 a.
m, when nearly one-third of the sun
was obscured, the lower right hand
corner being gone The eclipse was
sufficient to give the atmosphere Pc
culiar darkened appearance.

ON THE WANE.
Interest in Wrestling is Fast
Disappearing.
Rooney Badly Outclasses DeScheller al
Every Point and Wins With.
out Any Difficulty.

1t is doubtful whether any more
wrestling matches will be pulled off in
Mankato for some time to come. In
terest in the sport is on the rapid de-
cline, and it is questionable whether a
corporals guard could be gotten to
witness another match in the near
future. The cause for this is partly
due to general impression, whether
right or wrong it matters not, that the
last two or three matches have not
been son the square," The attendance
at the match Friday night was not one.
quarter as large as at the previous
match, and good deal of dissatlsfac-
ton was expressed after it was over.
Berthold De Scheller was clearly
outclassed at every point by John j.
Rooney. He weighed 1859 pounds. and
Rooney must have weighed nearly 4O
pounds more. In order to render the
match more interesting, Rooney allow
ed De- Scheller to slip out of his grasp
several times when it seemed possible
to have ended the bout.
Before the match, George D. Albert,
''the Terrible Turk" and Arthur
Hughes gave fine exhibition in turn
ing.
When the wrestlers came upon the
mat, the master of ceremonies, J. E.
Reynolds, made the customary state
| ment and introduced the two contest
ants and the referee. Gustav Gersten-
hauer. He stated that Chas. E. Wise
had been selected as official time
keeper, Mr.. Hall time keeper for
Rooney, and Chas. Wagon time keeper
| for De Scheller. Thos. Rooney acted
as second for his brother, and Mr.. Roscoe
for De Scheller.
The first bout opened at s25 p. M,
with both men in good condition.
| Neither one held back. but got down
to business promptly. De Scheller
proved himself to be agile and scien
tific, but did not have the strength or
weight of his opponent. Rooney won
the bout with full Nelson in fifteen
and half minutes
The second bout began at $3.50 p. m.,
and lasted nine minutes, when De
Scheller won with leg and arm lock.
During the intermission between the
second, and third bouts, Robt. Faul k
ner was called to the stage He said
that he had come to Mankato with his
partner, James Edwards. who was to
wrestle Suter at New Ulm Sunday
night. Learning of the Rooney-De
Scheller match, he had concluded to
remain over and witness it. He was
was glad to see that he had so many
friends in Mankato, and thanked them
one and all.
Mr.. Edwards was next called for and
responded. He said that it was his first
visit to Mankato and that he was much
taken up with it. He was here to meet
any $40 pound man in the country for
any amount of money, and referred to
his match with Suter at New Ulm to-
morrow night.
Thos McGarry, Rooney's father-in-
law, was called for, but did not re.
spond.
MI. Reynolds announced that Rooney
was going to wrestle Beck Olson at
Copenhagen June 2Sth for the cham
pionship of the world.
The third bout opened at 1919 p m,
and Rooney won it in four minutes
with crotch and head hold.

Mark Hanna, chairman of the Re-
publican National COMMITTEE has said
in public speeches time and again that
there are no trusts.
Senator William j. SeweIl, of New.
Jersey, has reiterated Chairman Han
mas statement from the public ros-
trum.
Senator William p. Frye, of Maine,
III speech made in Camden on ION
day night, declared that there are no
trusts, going further than either Han
ma or Sewell by asserting that the
Sherman antitrust law had killed all
the trusts.
BY way of refutation of this triple
Republican declaration that there are
no trusts The Times presents in detail
this morning a list of 1913 corporations
chartered in New Jersey alone-the
State represented by Senator Seweu
in the United States Senate-since
March 4, 1897, when President McKin-
ley first took the oath of office.
None of these corporations call
themselves trusts. One hundred and
twenty of the one hundred and TWEEN
ty-thrce have capitalization of ten
millions or upwards. Many of them
represent the consolidation of numer-
Gus smaller corporations into one;
the consolidation being made for ,Ae
sole purpose of controlling the bust
ness in which the smaller corpora
tions were formerly engaged.
The total capitalization of the one
hundred and twenty-threc New Jersey
trusts reaches the enormous sum OF
three billion six hundred and twenty
two million twenty-five thousand dol
lars.
The rate Of growth Of these trust ag-
eregations with New Jersey charters
