A BAD MESS.
Police Order Number of Strangers to
Leave the City.


A couple of weeks ago the Lake
Crystal marshal came to Mankato and
arrested colored man at the request
of a man named Wood, who claimed
that the fellow had stolen a team of
horses from him. The marshal took
his prisoner to Lake Crystal and held
him for two days for Wood, who did
not put in an appearance after being
notified to do so. The prisoner was
then released
On Tuesday, Wood came to the city
with a man named Brady, who also
had another man and woman in his
party, besides eight horses and six
dogs. Last evening the negro and the
white woman who was with him two
weeks ago, and man called Uncle
Jack, drove into the city from New
Ulm. Wood at once wanted the negro
arrested, and the night police locked
him up. The negro offered to give
back to Wood the wagon and harness,
but claimed that the team was his.
This morning Chief Bowen ordered
all of the parties to leave the city on
the ground that they are disreput-
able lot.

to beautify the grounds in every way
to the extent of the resources available.
New cement walks had been laid.
Those who were so anxious to have
the grounds put in proper shape
should be added to the committee.
President Davis said that there was
no intention to reflect on the commit
tee in this resolution.
Mr.. Fletcher asked whether it would
be possible to have nice turf in front
of the buildings, and Capt. Keysor
said that it would be possible by clos
ing the schools. He said that the child
rem could not be kept off of the sod.
Supt. Uline said that the pupils
could be kept off.
Mr.. Fletcher said that he enjoyed
more seeing the children run unre-
stricted than seeing a grass plat 1t
would be impossible to have grass
plats without restricting the children
more than they ought to be.
He moved TO lay the resolution on the
table. There was no second to this,
but President Davis ordered it laid
on the table without the formality Of
a vote.
The bills were allowed and the
board adjourned.

TELEPHONE MATTERS.
Lake Crystal Considering Question of
Local Exchange.
Lake Crystal Union

Lake Crystal Union:
G. T. Monson of Mankato was up
Thursday in the interest of the Citi-
zens' Telephone Co. of that city of
which he is member. Mr. M was
here for the purpose of finding out just
how the land lays, whether we are 60
ing to have them put in our telephone
system for us, or whether we are GO
ing to do so ourselves. He was ready
to show our people, those who will
take stock in the company, that there
is big money in the investment, and
he would guarantee at the end of six
months if one did not wish to renal n
in the company any longer that all the
money he had invested in the plant
would be paid back with a good rate
of interest. The committee is wait
ing to consult with Mr.. Graft, and
this gentleman will not be home for
about ten days. If either Mr. Graft or
our citizens do not put in the plant,
the Mankato Co. will be given the pre-
ference this seems to be the sentiment
of the majority of our people.
A daughter arrived this morning at
the home of Geo. G. Baker. 4O3 North

From the Argus:
Miss Ruth Jones of Mapleton. who
will teach next year in the primary
department of our public schools, is a
member of the Mankato normal grad
uating class of this year.
Misses Hattie Gayer and Julia
Schramskey visited Mrs. Schramskey
at Mankato hospital Sunday. The lat
ter who recently endured the ordeal of
an operation is improving and will
be at home the latter part of the week.
F. D. Seaman reports wheat stooling
out in fine shape on his farm He says
the outlook is very aattering. On the
contrary Jas. Cummins reports the
crop in bad shape at Smiths Mills,
very thin. But on the whole it is all
right we believe with here and there
an exception.
Mr.. Jacob Peterson of Medic will
have sale of his farming utensils
and stock on May goth for the purpose
of leaving for his native land. He
will return to Norway-swith his family
to remain permanently. 1t seems he
tired of America and longs for his
native heath.
We regret to learn tn at there is a
prospect of GAINESVILLE losing the local
passenger from Waseca to Tracy. The
business between Waseca and Mankato
will not justify the continuance of the
train. We know of no method to in
crease the business between these two
points or it would be Immediately
brought into use. If this train goes
GAINESVILLE will lose its best service. 1t
really ought to be patronized instead
of the noon train.

NARROWER DRIYEWAYS.
The Sentiment in Favor of Them Con.
Times to Grow

Aid. Taylor is one of those who be-
lieve in boulevards and narrow drive
ways and then paving them or at least
mac adamizing them. While in st.
Paul the other day he took drive in
to the best residence section and there
saw that very narrow driveways with
pretty poulevards are the rule. The
cutters are scooped out in such a way
that very little of the curbing shows.
Mr.. Taylor is in favor of boulevard
ing Broad street after the plan fol-
lowed at the south end, which is by
far the handsomest part of the street
in the opinion of great many peo-
pie. The cost of improving so wide a
driveway as Broad street now has
would be very heavy upon the property
owners, but if narrowed down as the
present tendency is lin all progressive
cities, the expense would not be great
and beautiful avenue with a fine
driveway would be the result.
1t is said that those residents on
Fourth street north of Jackson who de-
feated the proposed boulevarding Of
that street now see their mistake and
would be very glad if the city had or
dered the street improved as it should
have been, instead of giving in to the
DIRECTORS
The South Second street improve
ment would have been less expensive
to the property owners if the grass
plats had been widened little.

A Personal Statement.

Clark, S. Dakota, May list, 1901.
I came to Clark county from Illinois
with an old plug team and $50 in
money. Have had no help from any
one since that time, and now 1 find 1
have $50 acres of as good land as there
is in South Dakota, good, we'll built
house and barns, eleven head of good
horses and colts and twenty-five head
of cattle. Besides this, have bought
and paid for in cash, house and lot
in Clinton, Iowa, worth 81, 500, and a
third interest in store building in
Morrison, ILL.,, worth 81, 500. All this
I have bought and paid for from my
land here. Have always had crop
here and never had failure. 1 can
raise horses and cattle cheaper and
better than in any country 1 ever was
in, and have averaged, year in and
year out, better than the average ILL
nois farmer that l know of. This
country has lots of young prosperous
fellows in it whom 1 know personally
were no better equipped than was,
and many of them not so we'll, who
can make statement just as good as 1
can. AS for healthfulness, this country
is one hard to beat, we can thankfully
say. S. P. STAPLETON.

at Waseca Thursday night supposing
it would stop at GAINESVILLE. But it did
not and he went through to Man
