Ghr Messenger.
THE EDUCATIONAL QUESTION.

The Messenger stands faithful and
resolute for better, more general and
higher education. 1t recognizes and is
proud of what North Carolina has
done fer an undre in behalf OF
education. It believes firmly and
broadly in a system Of education that
builds a bottom or foundation and
rises to grand combination. 1t Is true
friend OF the common or fundamental
schools Of the Ctate system. 1t De
Heves in the intermediate schools now
being operated so successfully and ben
eficfalIy by the state. It has a high,
unfaItering friendship and admiration
the exalted cap-stone IN the grand sys-
tenn OF state education. It would max
provision for every child In North
Carolina to be educated so far as the
primary system extends. but it has no
regard for or tolerance of the PROPOSE
the state to send their children wheth-
er they so elect or no. It does not be-
lieve in fanaticism, a disregard of fun
damental principles, OF that disquiet-
ing, dangerous system of Paul Pry-
ism which is SO popular with inchoate
statesmen, cock-sure editors OF a GER
tain beguileful and ~patronizing stripe.
and teachers who are ever swift to
initiate the north and. to import "isms''
and other decayed drift-wood from
streams in other parts long, muddy
and pestiferous. Every sober citizen
and student of history who does not
fall in with the rushing crowd of in
aovators and imitators is classed with
the defunct and placed among the fos-
sis. This is the very sort Of half-in-
formed theorisms who laugh at the
great fundamentals or government,
point the finger of derision at the
greatest American statesmen, and Ia
ment that all men of the present are
not as wise as they are.
The Messenger does not favor e1-
fravagance or oppression in taxation
Tt believes that as much appropriation
should be made for the state system of
education as can be done in wisdom
and with due reference to economy in
expenditure. Whether the state can
afford to expend a quarter of a million
additional or no, as is proposed, for
public education is what the Messenger
can not determine. 1t is opposed to
increasing the present taxation If it cam
be avoided with judgment. Taxes are
a perennial curse and blasts like the
mildew. If it can be done without OPP
pressing the present burden-bearers
more than they are now bearing, then
make the appropriation as high as is
proper, and let q movement for high
er, better, broader, surer education be
made.
The Raleigh News and Observer sees
its way to raise $3.50, 900 for education
above what is now paid, in this wise:
by a re-assessment Of property by
a system that would be more effective;
imposing a privilege or franchise tax
upon all q~uasi-public corporations,
such as telegraph, express, telephone,
steamboat and railroad companies; in
creas the corporation tax; fix a tax
on collateral inheritance: and instruct
the finance committee to follow the ex-
amples of New York, Illinois, Massa-
,chusetts and other states where the
privilege and franchise taxes are grow
ing SO steadily that it is believed in a
few years all direct taxes for state
can be abolished"

HON r. FOLKS.

There is a difference of opinion
among the legislators as to whether
it is constitutional or no to d to the
present salary of the governor. 1t is
not constitutional it is clear it should
not be lone for nc good democrat can
favor an unconstitutional act. A dem
ocrat should be honest. just and bold
for the right only. If the legislature
has power to increase the governors
salary it should be done. Governor
Carr spent even more h a Governor
Russell. The former expended $4,000
and the latter s23. 900. A beggarly $4,000
will necessitate the now incumbent to
pinch and scout at every turn. for he
can not keep house otherwise as gov
ernor with the sum proposed. In case
he is forced to get along on s., 1000 let
him board in a comfortable house or
let the democrats of means hand round
the hat for a subscription.

JOHNS OFFENSe.

The ST. Paul Globe throws light on
the charge against Henry G. John,
who was arrested at Garden City. II
says:
Deputy Sheriff George F. Kroeger
arrived in the city last evening, hav-
ing in custody Harry G. John, the man
who is charged with committing an
indecent assault upon Bertha, the thir-
teen-year-old daughter of Mrs. Anna
Schwartz, of this city,
John, who was formerly a book
keeper in Minneapolis, asserts his in
nocence and refuses to discuss the.mat-
ter. He is about forty eight years of
age, has wife and child, but had
lived apart from his family for some
time. In order to accomplish his base
designs, he is said to have placed his
young victim under the influence OF
chloroform.
When the child recovered her senses,
she says, John threatened to kill heI
if she communicated with any one
about the crime.
1t was some time afterwards, not un-
til John had left the city, that the girl
informed her mother of what had hap.

OLD RESIDENT GONE.
David ]. Williams of Cambria Passes
Away at Rochester.

David J. Williams, we'll known
and prosperous farmer OF Cambria,
died at Rochester Sunday after I'M
dergoing an operation for kidney
trouble, from which he had been a suf-
erer for several years. The remains were
taken to his home today for burial
The deceased was born at Llanddewi
Brief, Cardiganshire, Nov. I'd, 1898,
and emigrated to Ohio in June, 1851.
In July, 1855, he came to Blue Earth
county and settled at Cambria. He
was married Sept. 23d, 1868, to Jane
Fregoning of La Sale, Ill. He was a
member of Horeb G. M. church, and
was kind hearted, generous and public
spirited. He is survived by his wife,
one son, Daniel L., and two daughters,
Winnie and Mary Ellen. His death
will cause general regret.
Mr.. Williams had gone to Rochester
Friday and was operated upon Satur-
day. His death occurred at seven
o'clock Sunday evening. His son and
DR.. Jno. Williams of Lake Crystal were
with him at the time of his death.
The funeral was held Wednesday,
from the house.

NO NEW DEVELOPMENTS.
Funeral of John WideII Largely
Attended.

The funeral services over the re.
mains of the late John Widell were
held Sunday afternoon at
the Swedish Lutheran church
on Main street and were conducted by
Rev. Mr.. Erickson, the pastor. The
attendance was large and the floral
offerings were numerous and very
beautiful. The remains were laid at
rest in the new Swedish cemetery.
The inquest will commence at nine
o'clock tomorrow forenoon at John
Klein & Co. 8 undertaking rooms.
There have been no new develop
ments since Saturday. Several rumors
have been run down and proved to be
groundless.
Opinion is still divided as to whether
the death was due to accident or was
the result of an assault.
Those who were in the Arcade saloon
at II 80 p. m. Friday, when Mr..
Widell was last seen, say that he then
had the slight cuts that were found on
the left side of his face. The cut I'M
der the chin is still unaccounted for.
The clothing shows that Mr.. Widell
must have crawled about in the grass,
and the coroner has found what seems
to be a pool of blood ten feet south Of
the area where the body was found.

FOUR CHANGES.
Library Board Election Was
Well Attended.
The New Members of the Board Are E.
D. WiImot, Miss Iceberg, Gust
WideIl and Mrs. Baker.

The library board election Saturday
night was conducted within the hour
prescribed by law. Everybody who
was present at 80 p. m. had voted be-
fore s 80 p. m. and the polls were
closed then, although some who had ar
rived after 7 80 p. m. did not have an
opportunity to vote. The voting was
done rapidly, by ballot, 37S being cast
in all, which is as many as are cast all
day in a precinct in a general election.
A crowd was on hand at the muni-
cipal court room at 7 80 p. m, and W.
n. Plymat called the meeting to order
and nominal ed Henry Zimmerman Jr.
for chairman. Mr. Zimmerman was
elected by acciamation, and Dr. j. W.
Andrews was elected assistant chair
man, and A. J. Veigel clerk. These
three constituted the judges and the
balloting was proceeded with without
loss of time. One-third of those voting
were ladies.
The following is the result of the
election:
For one year-E. L. Patterson 273,
Oscar Bierbauer 233, E. D. Wilmot
21O, Geo. Weideman 2O6, Jno. G. Noe
17S.
For two years-Dr. NJ. B. Wood 372.
Miss Amelia II. Iceberg 216, Father
Daniel Hughes 212, A. O. Eberhart
165, Prof. W. E. REIN lat.
For three years-John G. Thro 373,
Gust Widell 226, Mrs. J. 81. Baker 223,
W. D. Willard loo, Father Hughes
15S.
The three persons receiving the high
est number of votes for each term were
declared elected, as follows: E. L.
Patterson, Oscar Bierbauer and E. D.
Wilmot for one year; DR.. M. B. Wood,
Miss Iceberg and Father Hughes for
two years John G. Thro, Gust Widell
and Mrs. Baker for three years.
The members of the present board
Eberhart., Prof W. E. Riem and w.
D. Willard.
1t is considered doubtful whether any
effort will be made to contest the cleo
ton, as the fact that the members of
the old board went into the election as
candidates may act as waver of any
claim on their part to still be the legal
board. Aside from this technical
point, there seems to be no disposition
anywhere to make trouble for the new
board.
President Wood of the old board will
probably call the new board together
in day or two to organize.
The new board will undoubtedly take
up the work in regard to the public
library building where the old board
has laid it down, carrying out the
thoughts that directed the old board.

CARNIVAL ENDS.
MankatO's Big Week Passes
Into History.
The BOstock.Ferari Shows Pack up and
and Depart.-.The Elks Come Out
Little Ahead.

The Elks' carnival is thing of the
past, and Mankato has settled down tc
it's usual routine. The carnival, with
its glamour and gaiety, will long be
remembered. The Bostock-Ferari
Carnival Co. packed up its belongings,
loaded it's special train, and departed
at seven o'clock Sunday morning. The
work of taking down the tents and
paraphernalia and loading them on
the cars took up all of Saturday night
after the closing performances.
Another large crowd was out Satur-
day evening, taking their final trip
"down the line" listening to the
music, seeing the shows and patroniz-
ing the refreshment stands. A great
many found pleasure in throwing con-
fetti, and Front street was literally
sprinkled with the bits of colored
paper. People as rule took it good
naturally. but occasionally the famili-
arity was resented. One large lady
was besprinkled in the face with q
handful of the paper by a man who
was stranger to her, and she prompt.
ly let him feel hers6st.on his face, and
it fell upon him like sledge hammer
blow. The spectators were inclined
to take the woman's part.
Front street was again roped off from
Jackson to Mulberry, and again some
people who were driving objected .tc
being kept out of the most interesting
part of the city.
The Elks have not yet figured uI
their receipts and expenditures, but
expect to come out little ahead or
the carnival. The crowds were not al
large as expected, but yet the various
committees feel we'll satisfied.
The police are deserving of great
credit for their work in protecting the
people. Very few pockets were picked
or robberies committed.
Chief Bowen received message Mon
day morning from Private Detective G.
W. W. Dow, saying that two confidence
men who were in Mankato last weel
are in Jail at Worthington on tn,
charge of stealing money by means O
the short change racket. One is tai
and gave the name of Cleveland, anC
the other is short and gave the name O
J. c. Cottrell. The detective make
inquiries about their baggage.
The various stands that were in tn,
streets were torn down and removed
and the decorations taken down
No rain fell during the week to injur,
