IF. NJ. CURRIER.

When asked whether he would &C.
cept the nomination from either Re-
publican or Democratic convention,
Mayor Currier replied:
Il would not accept it from either of
those conventions if it was to be prof
fered to me as party man. do not
belong to any party. When the Popu-
list party died natural death it left
me without party.
II consider that the time has come
to make plain my ideas on the subject
of the mayoralty. If 1 waited until after
the party conventions were held and
then came out, it might be said that
l did it in order to create disturb
ance. This is not my idea in coming
out. If the voters of Mankato prefer
to elect some one else mayor, l shall
give him my good wishes. There are
plenty Of good men in Mankato."
Mayor Curriers' decision to allow
his name to be used again will not be
a surprise, but it will be gratifying
to those who have advocated his re-
election. Having no party to place him
in nomination, and the two old parties
undoubtedly being determined to put
up candidates of their own, his name
will probably go on the ticket in the
same manner that it did two years ago
by petition. 1t will not be difficult
matter to secure the necessary 200
names.
Mr.. Curriers' statement today with
out doubt ensures a three cornered con-
test for mayor, and it behooves the
Republican and Democratic parties to
put up their very best men if they
hope for success. Should either party
nominate a weak man it would al
most surely result in Mr.. Curriers' re-
election, for he will have more sup
port from both parties in any event
than the politicians dream of, to judge
from conversations had with large
number of representative citizens of
all classes during the past few weeks.
The Democratic city committee held
a meeting last week and authorized
Chairman Flittie and Secretary Daley
to call the convention. These gentle
men will probably act Immediately
after the Republican convention has
been called, which will be done at the
meeting of the city committee tonight

1t seems that Minnesota took about
the whole cheese in the recent butter
exhibit at st. Paul after all.

The farmers of the United States re-
ceived S1S9, 600, 600 more for their crops
in 1900 than they did in 1899, and
thanks to the Republican party every
dollar Of it was worth full 100 cents.

TAPPEY GOES OVER
Pleads the Second
! Indictment.
lie is Sentenced to saltwater
for a Year and Eight Months
for Cottage Breakin

/ Elmer Tappey of Madison Lake was
arraigned before Judge Cray Tuesday
on second Indictment, charging
him with grand larceny in the second
degree for stealing bedding, food, ETC.. :,
from the Uneeda Rest cottage at Point
Pleasant, owned by Mesdames :Sher-
man and Lille Baker and Miss Minnie
! Van Blarcum. He entered plea of
guilty and was Immediately sentenced
| When the court asked Tappey what
he had to say why sentence should not
be passed upon him, he replied that
ne had simply held lantern while
Frank Dolliver did the house break
! ing. Judge Cray then sentenced Tap
pey to serve at hard labor in the Still
water penitentiary for one year and
eight months. Sheriff Gerlich will
take him to Saltwater Thursday morn
ing.
Tappey would probably not have
pleaded guilty had he not been advised
to DO: 50 by several of his friends from
Madison Lake He was told what evil
dence the state had against him and
he saw that the zig was up" and
chose the wisest course. Constable
Hanchett came in today with more
witnesses for the state, arriving from
Madison Lake with them after Tappey
had pleaded guilty.
1t is known that two other parties,
one young farmer and the other
resident of the village, were members
of the gang who did the breaking in
on the Point. While they will prob
ably not be arrested at present, they
will have to walk the straight and
narrow path in the future or they will
be locked up without much ceremony
and sent to join Dolliver and Tappey.
The Indictment upon which Tappey
was arraigned yesterday was continued
until the next term. This charges
him with stealing from the Patterson
cottage. Two other indictments
against Hill WERE ulSlulSSCu
The trial of the divorce case of Mary
Ann Lettus VS.. Michael Lettus was
completed late Tuesday afternoon.
The witnesses for the plaintiff were
herself, John Limberg, and Misses
Ethel Coleson and--Stella and Katie
Murtaugh. Those for the defendant
were himself and mother, Mr.. Cold
we'll, and Officer James Morrow.
The charge in the complaint is cruel
and inhuman treatment and habitual
drunkenness The defense offered
testimony to the effect that the plain
tiff took drink whenever anybody
else had any and that she was under
the influence of liquor three times.
Evidence of an unprintable character
was also introduced.
The fight is mainly over the six
small children.

A SECOND TERM.
Mayor Currier Will Not Refuse
One.
He States That it is Up to the People TO
Decide as to His Candidacy
for Reelection.

Mayor Currier has decided that the
time has come to make known his feel
ings in regard to the mayoralty. He
has been urged by many leading citi-
zens in both parties to stand for sec
ond term, but he has up to date given
them no definite answer. Having re-
fected over the matter carefully, he
has now made up his mind to become
candidate again in case it is the
wish of the people-or a considerable
section of them. He will not make a
fight or spend money to be elected, but
if the people want him to be mayor
for another two years he will not re-
fuse.
Mayor Currier handed the following
communication to the daily papers to-
day:
ITO My Fellow Citizens: Two years
ago 1 promised the people of Mankato
that if 1 was elected mayor, that 1
would enforce the laws of the state and
the ordinances of the city to the best
Of my ability furthermore that so far
as could control matters, city affairs
should be conducted upon business
principles and with due regard to
economy. Whether or not have full
filled my pledges is not for me to say.
1 have been urged by some of my
friends to be a candidate for reelec-
ton, and it is now up to the people to
say whether they wish me to be can
didate or not. My purpose is not to
make any fight or to spend any money
to be elected, but if the citizens of
Mankato want me to serve another
term, will accept the honor and do
the best 1 can for the city.
Respectfully,

kOHALA WATER SCHEME
THE JONES LICENSE TO BE
RESTRICTED.
Executive Council Decides to Cut out
cussion Next Monday.

The Executive Council yesterday de-
Cided to eXclud the Puukapu sources
of water supply from the license for
Col. j. w. Jones, which has been under
discussion for some time. This will
practically confine the application to
the districts between Waipio and HO-
nOkane valleys.
Col. Jones was asked to state who
was behind in the big project. His re-
ply was that there was sufficient CAPT
tai to guarantee rapid carrying out of
the plans. About $500 had already
been spent in surveys.
The applicants finally agreed to
amend their license as drawn up a
week ago, to leave out Puukapu and
upper Kawaihae districts. Copies of
the proposed new license go forward
on todays mail, and it is hoped that
Hawaii business men will be heard
from on the subject in time for the
executives meeting next Monday, when
final action may be taken 1t is prac-
tically certain that a license will be
granted, though the details have not
been settled upon.
During the discussion the fact was
developed that the Bishop estate is
making engineers surveys in WaipiO
valley for the purpose of supplying
Hamakua from that source.
The meeting was attended by a num-
Der of those principally interested in
the big project. In addition to the
members of the council there were: j.
w. Jones and lis attorneys, Ballou q
McClanahan; f. NJ. Swanzy, of T. H.
Davies & CO.. with e. A. Mott-Smith
as counsel: j. b. Atherton and f. S.

ment, who was present on account of
his technical knowledge Of the entire
district in question.

was being reported in the East that there

Gov. Van SAINT state officials and mem

about 100 were the guests of the Com
mercial club last night and for their en-
tertainment royal programme was pro-
vlded, abounding throughout in local hits
which were accepted with laughter and
good humor from the governor down.
This ''joshing'' feature was entrusted to
Al Flournoy and when after success

guess that the legislators had all voted
for the pardon bill because they all ex-
pected to feel Younger the ana1ence
exploded in paroXysm OF uncomfortable
merriment.
President H. A. Boardman opened the
proceedings with a few appropriate re-
marks relative to the good feeling enter
tanned by the Commercial club toward

programme on the eXpectant lawmak-

ed the novices and postulants before him
to remember that giving food and drink
TO the needy or instruction to the 1gnor-

h~nself. A choir of nuns in the loft at
the rear of the chapel sang at intervals
throughout the service
The thirteen novices at the beginning of
the service wore elaborate bridal Co.'S
tunes of white, with long white wells and
carried bridal bouquets. They were led
by the mother of the postulants, the
superioress of the convent who present
ed them to the archbishop. Ten little
girls in fairy-like costumes of white null
and flowers attended the postulants. Aft
er expressing their desire to enter the
s1sterhood and assume the vesture of the
ordfr, the thirteen noviceS were dismiss
st~ to change their bridal gowns for the
somber habits. During their absence
from the chapel the twenty postulants
who had completed the term of their
novitiate repeated annual vows. The
novices then returned and each was given
her church name
