MANKATO SHOULD AWAKE.
Other Cities of the State are Securing
New Factories.

Almost every day the papers speak
of some new factory secured by some
one of the smaller Minnesota towns.
Winona has just secured two new fac
tories, one of which is a large concern
to be brought from elsewhere. Duluth
is to have match factory that it is
hoped will eventually employ 800
hands. Several smaller cities of the
state have secured or organized manu-
featuring concerns during the past
week or two.
What is Mankato doing2 Factories
are what this city needs to build it up
in population and wealth. New fac
tories, to employ ten to hundred men
each, are wanted. Who will set the
ball rolling to get them? The board
of trade is coming to be looked upon
as a sepulcher of proposals from fac
tories. Who else will act2

SEVENTEEN WIVES
Has this Nan who Was Sent to Peasants
County Poorh0use by the Sew
teenih.

George Washington Anderson, The
confessed husband Of seventeen wives,
most OF whom are still living, has just
been sent BY the seventeenth to the
Peasants County Poorhouse at st.
Marys, while she attempts to recover
a little Of the wealth that she gave up
to marry him and sues for divorce.
The old man was 6S years old and
his bride was II when they eloped to
ParkerSburg last month and were
married. They had known each other
only two days, but she accepted HIM as
soon as he proposed.
When be proposed to Der he repre-
sented that he was drawing pension.
She was also receiving Il pension, but
as be was drawing support from the
government she Willingly gave up hers
for him. After the honeymoon was
over, the old man became i'll, and the
wife's devotion to him was remark
able
But as time wore on she began to
suspect that he was not all he repre-
sented himself TO be. The time to fiji
out vouchers for his pension came and
went, and he neglected to attend to
his. She began a search through his
pockets after the papers, and the first
thing she found was his written con-
fession that he had been sixteen times
married before he saw her.
To the prosecuting attorney the old
man told the same story he had told
his wife, and it is generally credited
in St. Mays. The old man has not
yet diyulged his history and the names
of his other wives.

The New Corporation Law.
Charleston Gazette.


Secretary of State Dawson was in
high good hamor to-day. He says
he has begun 20 reap the harvest of
the new corporation law Of the State
At ten o'clock this morning be had
taken in S2,124 for corporation Ii.
cense taxes. One company was
made to pay $1,000, which under
the old law would have paid but
500 He told the Gazette that in
the month Of March, 1900, he coll
lected but 5000, but that under the
new law the State would be richer
by several thousands OF dollars. He
says the State will lose but few cor
porations and they will be of small
class usually organized for the pur
pose of the promotion of schemes.
These companies will now be com
PEELED to 60 to the Dakotas, which
States have laws like the old West
Virginia laws He thinks the State
will be better off under the new law
by at least $4,000 than it could
have been under the old one. The
Auditors office is kept very busy
looking after the license taxes of
companies organized under the new
laws The taxes are increased very
greatly and very few have failed to
