WON'T LAY DOWN.
Citizens Phone Company to
Enter Lake Crystal.
Directors Leave the Matter in the
Hands of Their Attorney to Take
Proper Action.

The directors of the Mankato Citizens
Telephone Co. at their meeting Tues
day night talked over the Lake Crystal
occurrence, where the company's poles
were dug up Monday night and the
holes filled up. The village authorities
are opposed to the company entering
the villa ge.
The directors are inclined to bring
an action to compel the village coun-
Gil to grant it franchise for the con-
struction and operation of a local ex-
change and of toll and farmers lines,
in view of the manner in which it has
been treated. The matter was placed
in the hands of the company's attor-
ney, W A. Funk, who was given full
power to take the necessary steps to Sc
cure the company's admittance to the
village.
The new local exchange at Lake
| Crystal is not inclined to con- c. with
the Mankato company's lines nd it
is for this reason that the company has
decided to put in an exchange of it's
own. A number of the residents of
the village have signiied a preference
for the Citizens company, owing to
the fact that it is connected up with
nearly the entire county.
| Mr.. Funk will probably ask the court
for restraining order, to prevent the
village authorities from interfering
| with it's construction work pending the
outcome Of the litigation.
The Citizens company has reached
Vernon Center with its lines and has
phone set up there. Negotiations
are on foot looking to its connecting
up with the farmers line that is
building into Vernon Center from the
other direction. 1t is thought that
these will shortly have a favorable
termination.

FALSE REPRESENTATIONS.

Word comes to this office from sew
eral of the projected rural mail, routes
that agents of the Minneapolis Times
are going through the country solicit
ing subscriptions to that paper and
where it is necessary to secure far
mer's name and other arguments fail
they assert that if the aforesaid far
mer does not take the Times and a
mail box the route will not be estab-
lished By this means they get good
many farmers to subscribe for the
paper that they would not get other
wise, as every farmer is interested in
securing route.
Let it be known by all the farmers
that the government, and not the
Times representatives, is establishing
these rural routes, and any and FALL
representations made by newspaper
agents about their 'infooence" inject
ting them through is the merest rot.
1t is sort of confidence game.

The Hastings Gazette is trying to
make itself believe that if the money
that has been spent on the normal
schools of the state, since they started,
had been divided among the high
schools of the state, there would be
much more to show for it. All OF
which goes to show that the Hastings
Gazette man does not know as much
about the subject he is attempting to
discuss as he might. The high schools
of the state are doing splendid work
in their line, but that work is not the
training of teachers. 1t is giving to
the youth of the state as fully as pos
sible a practical education. In this
respect it is becoming more efficient
each year. But it cannot for obvious
reasons indulge in specialties and the
training of teacher is special fea-
ture, which the state has wisely re-
served TO the normal schools. The high
schools and the common schools of
Minnesota have been placed in the
high position they maintain today,
through the aid of the normal schools
of the state, which have helped to fit
scores. O. teachers who have gone out
to do goud work. And because of this
wise provision the state of MINES ota
has more to show for its money spent
upon it's public schools than would
otherwise be the case.

GREYHOUNDS.
They are the FIeetest of all Four Foot.
ed Animals.


Comparatively few people realize of
what remarkable speed dogs are cap
able. Some remarkable statistics in
regard to this have been gathered by
NJ. Dusolier, a French scientist.
After pointing out the marvellous
endurance shown by little fox terriers
who follow their masters patiently for
hours while the latter are riding on
bicycles or in carriages, he says that
even greater endurance is shown by
certain wild animals that are akin to
dogs.
Thus the wolf can run between so
and 90 miles in one night, and an arc
tic fox can do quite as well, if not
better
Nansen met one of these foxes on
the ice at a point more than 20 miles
west of the Sannikow territory, which
is 4SO miles from the Asiatic coast.
Eskimo and Siberian dogs can travel
40 miles on the ice in five hours, and
there is one case on record in which a
team of Eskimo dogs travelled 915
miles in % minutes.
According to NJ. Dusolier, the speed
of the shepherd dogs and those used in
hunting ranges from 10 to 10 yards a
second. English settlers and pointers
hunt at the rate of 10 to 10 miles an
hour, and they can maintain this speed
for at least two hours
Foxhounds are extraordinarily swift
as is proved by the fact that dog of
this breed once beat a thoroughbred
horse, covering four miles in 61s min
utes, which was at the rate of nearly
IS yards a second.
Greyhounds are the swiftest of all
four footed creatures, and their speed
may be regarded as equal to that of
carrier pigeons. English greyhounds,
which are carefully selected and which
are used for coursing, are able to cover
at full gaIlop space between 10 and
% yards every second
How great an achievement this is
may be judged from the fact that
thoroughbred horse rarely if ever ex-
ceeds 10 yards. Moreover, it is said
that hare at its greatest speed never
goes faster than at the rate of 1S
yards
These interesting statistics are ex-
citing much comment among sports
men and other lovers of dogs, and the
opinion is unanimous that NJ. Dusolier
has fully proved the right of the grey
hound to rank as the swiftest of the
quadrupeds Express engines only

DOUGLAS WILL TAKE HOLD q

Attorney General Douglas returned
to st. Paul Monday night and at once
announced his determination of taking
hold of the fight with Governor Van
SAINT in his opposition to railway con-
solidation and Will do what he can to
prevent it. AS to the governors posi-
ton he is as strong as ever in his de-
termination to defeat the scheme OF
the railway magnates if possible. II
is now the growing opinion that if it
is prevented it must be under existing
laws, and that any legislation which
might be enacted by the legislature at
this time, wouId uOC.. be effective in
this..particular- case, OF the Northern
Securities. company. But the governor
has decided to. call the legislature to-
gether to appropriate funds for the re-
taining-of eminent counsel, to assist
the attorney general in the contest. He
has further announced. that should the
legislature refuse to appropriate. funds
for that purpose, 5. he will use his own
private means for that purpose. But
thissswiIl never. be allowed by thespeo-
pie. Should the legislature refuse tc
literally respond to the governors re-
quest, it would raise such a hurrah
among the people as would result in
retiring to private life for all time
those who voted to defeat it. The peo-
pie are standing with their governor,
and we have no fears but what the
legislature will be there solidly when
it is called together.

A WORD OF CAUTION.

Some mischievious boys are in the
habit of throwing stones and clubs at
street letter boxes, thereby laying
themselves liable to severe punishment
for injuring government property.
This morning box on Minnesota
street was found broken and rendered
useless for service. A word of caution
and severe reprimand from parents
may save their boys from trouble.
Uncle Sam will not tolerate deface-
ment or damage to government pro-
perty, and he is relentless in his pun
ishment of wrong doors. A watch is
out for the boys who are misusing
these boxes and they will surely be
caught if they persist in their
deviltry.

NO BoMsARDMENT OF COLON

dent Last Year at Panama.
Washington, Nov. 26.-It is pretty
well understood here that there is to
be no bombardment of Colon by either
side. While Commander McCrea was
given wide discretionary powers and
nothing was said to him about stop
ping the bombardment directly, never
theless the state department estab-
hshed a precedent in these matters
last year when it instructed Mr.. Gud-
ger to warn some insurgents at Pan
anna that they would not be allowed
to lombard that port. If the govern
ment troops on the Pinzon should per-
sist in their purpose it is said that the
commanders Of the various warships
at Colon would require that ample
time be allowed for the withdrawal
from the town of all foreigners, and
the attacking force, to escape re-
straint, would be obliged to direct
their bombardment with such rare pre-
cision as to destroy the insurgent de-
lenses without harming the railroad
property, and even without endanger-
Ing the passage of trains, conditions
probably not to be met.
bled Captain Perry of the Iowa to as
sumo full command Of all the United
States naval forces on both sides of
the isthmus in order to insure har-
monious operations.
Late advices, while showing the sit
uation on the isthmus to be still un-
settled, contain the information that
free transit by way of the railroad has
been re-established. These advices
came in a dispatch received by Secre-
tary Long from Captain Perry Of the
Iowa, who had made trip across the
isthmus from Panama to Colon, from
which place he sent telegram, an ex-
tract of which the secretary made pub
lie as follows:
Captain Perry reports that free
transit across the isthmus Is restored
and that he returns to Panama during
the afternoon. The captain will leave
a guard on each passenger train for
the present" :
The purpose of the guard pre-
sumably is to prevent interruption to
the free passage of trains by insur-
gents congregated along the line Of
the road
