WE notice that the Democrats, of
which every Evening" is a pro-
fessed representative did not com
plain of the political methods of
John D. Hawkins when he helped
R. R. Kenney and other Demo
cratic freebooters in stealing the
State in 1896. It was in no hurry
to put that crowd in Jail for the
worst theft that was ever commit
ted in this State. 1t was his act,
as much as any other one man S
that kept the rotten old Democracy
in power during the last few years
of its reign, and if there is ANYBODY
who ought to fall on his neck, weep
over his misfortunes, and feast him,
it is the Democrats of the every
Evening" order. He belongs to
them. Their protested hatred OF
him now is no proof of virtue. Ha-
tired is murder. 1t is the consum-
mate height of human depravity
To forgive is God-like-is virtue
of the very highest order. The
suggestion of Every Evening a:
to the quality of Union Republican
ism, is highly complimentary

needed. If it has been complied with,
any action of the council now could
not abrogate it.
Mr.. Andrews is in hopes that the
old company has secured the money to
enable it to go on with the construc-
ton of the road, as he considers this
the most favorable proposition that
the city could receive. The city line
would cover the city we'll, and sub
urban lines are included in the general
scheme. If the present company can
be assisted in any manner to build the
line, he is willing to lend helping
hand, and will throw no obstacle in
the way OF it.
Whether the construction company
has been able to float the bonds or not
is largely a matter of conjecture, as
no open statements can be secured on
the subject. If arrangements have all
been made, it would seem that it was
time for the company to take the pub
lie into its confidence and end the
uncertainty.

IMMENSE AVALANCHE.
Big Pile of Dirt and Rock in Wisconsin
Lets Go,

A special from Baraboo, Wis, to
this mornings Pioneer Press says:
With a rush and a roar vast masses
of rock, dirt and debris on top of East
Morentom, few miles distant from
Baraboo, parted from the huge pile last
night and crashed down into the valley
below, carrying along trees, boulders
and cliffs that CHANGED to be in its
path. The rumbling and crashing of
the sliding mass could be heard for
miles. Guests at the Cliff house awak-
ened by the uproar, rushed from their
rooms in fright. People on the lake
who saw the remarkable sight say that
it was awe-inspiring. The friction
caused by the crashing mass of stone
made streak of blazing light that
resembled the path of meteor through
the heavens. The entire country side
was aroused, and today the path of the
falling mass was the center of great
interest No lives were lost and no
property was destroyed.

AT THE FAIR.
Minnesota Shows Some Fine Vegetables
ia Spite of Hot Weather.

st. Paul Pioneer Press:
The class vegetable department at
the agricultural building presents. &C
cording to the statement of Prof. James
Atkinson of Ames Iowa, who again is
judge of the agricultural exhibits, and
array that cannot be equaled by any
state in the West.
The collections of fifteen varieties of
garden and field vegetables are per-
haps the most interesting because of
the remarkably close scoring and the
fact that so many sections of the state
are we'll represented. The new build
ing affords far better advantages for
display, and Prof. Atkinson finished
the awards in the collections depart :
ment early yesterday. morning.
The exhibits of potatoes and onions
are especially gratifying. The pota-
toes are large and of a very fine
quality, which means a fine profit for
the Minnesota farmer who has potatoes
this year because of the crop failure in
those states that have for years virtu-
ally controlled..the winter market.
The exhibits of grasses and forage
plants are unusually large and the
grasses are of finer quality than ever
before shown in Minnesota. The red
clover exhibits are surprisingly fine,
and the forage tracts in the northern
part of the state are represented by
exhibits that have proved surprises to
the farmers from the southern tiers of
counties One northern exhibitor shows
second growth clover four feet in
height and Beltrami country farm
contributes a sheaf of buckwheat seven
feet and four inches high.
Judge Atkinson will commence to-
day the inspection of the twelve mag
niticent county exhibits. This year
every one of the county exhibits is in
charge of a bona fde farmer repre-
senting his county, and as result
some of the northern counties entered
last year will make much better show
ings in the final score. The exhibitors
have spared neither pains nor money
to make their shows the very best their
respective counties could produce and
the spirit of friendly rivalry runs high.

G. Correll of East Mankato brought
a number of ears of fine corn intoSour

that with little selecting he could
pick much better ones.
The Fairmont will suit has been set
tied after much litigation. Mrs. Emma
L. Ward gains 81, 500 by the terms of
the settlement, and secures one-half of
the estate that the fight was over.
The other two claimants each take
one-fourth. Each party pays his own
costs and attorneys fees.
The members of the North Mankato
council and the school board have
agreed upon terms of the lease of a
room in the village hall forsschool pur-
poses, and the board has taken pos

the council went hunting that no
meeting was held Saturday night.

chased lot sixteen, block eight, from
Miss Agnes Meagher for 81, 900. This

SMALL POX> BILL.
County Board Returns One to
Lake Crystal.
The Villsge Advised to Send Its Claim
For 1888 to the State Board of
Health for Payment.

The county board has decided not to
pay a bill for 1888 presented TO it from
Lake Crystal. The bill covers the ex-
pense of the small pox epidemic there
a year ago. The bill was ordered re-
turned to Lake Crystal with the advice
that it be sent to the state board of
health, which has fund available for
the payment of such bills.
The board voted to award to the
lowest bidder, the American Bridge
Co. of Minneapolis, the contract for
placing a steel beam bridge over Bull
Run creek in Medo. The contract
price is 1904.
The petition that a road be opened
up from Lyra to Vernon Center was
granted.
Hugh 81. Edwards of Judson and
Henry Schultz of Lime township were
granted auctioneer's licenses.
The petition for an overhead bridge
over the Milwaukee track in Rapidan

Several applications for abatement
of taxes were considered.
The petition to have the Chas Graf
road covered with a layer of broken
stone in the low part was laid over
until the next meeting.
The county surveyor presented an
estimate of the cost of improving the
South Bend road according to the re-
port of the committee at the last meet
ing. 1t will not be made public, as
bids will be received on the work dur
ing the winter. The improvement was
laid over until next spring, as there is
no money in the fund at present with
which to do it, and several other i'm
provements have been ordered ahead of
it. 1t is hoped that the work will be
done next spring, as the improvement
is very desirable one.
The board adjourned this afternoon,
and one or two of the members will
take in the state fair tomorrow.

NOBLE WOMAN is DEAD.
Isabella Th0burn Passes Away in Luck
now India.

New York, Sept. 3.-S. L. Baldwin,
recording secretary of the Missionary
society of the Methodist Episcopal
church, today received cablegram
from Lucknow, India, announces the
death of Miss Isabella Thoburn, presi-
dent of the college for women and
girls at Lucknow.
The cablegram was dated Sept. 1,
and was very brief. 1t merely an
nounced that Miss Thorburn had died
of cholera.
Miss Thoburn was sister of Bishop
J. NJ. Thoburn, who, with his wife, is
now recuperating at Lake Bluff, Ill.
He recently returned from India,
where he labored for years as a mis-
sionary bishop. Miss Thoburn was
the first missionary sent out by the
Woman's Missionary Society of the
Methodist Episcopal church. She went
to India in 1859, and has been there
practically continuously for the thirty
two years since. She was home for a
brief period short time ago and re-
turned to her work about year ago.
1T is uncertain just when Miss
Thorburn's death occurred" said Sec
rotary Baldwin. "But owing to the
difference in time we think it took
place on the day the cablegram was
sent Sept. 1.

PLACING STAKES.
Progress on Street Car Line is
Slow.
Engineer Budd Puts in His Time on
Streets, But Does Not Consult
PlatS.

Work on the street railway line is
not proceeding very rapidly. Engi-
neer Budd has set some grade stakes
on May street from Fourth to Sixth
and up Sixth street, perhaps distance
of half mile in all The cut and
fill are indicated on these stakes. They
do not follow the streets in all in
stances, but cut across one potato
patch and through mans dooryard
within few feet of his house.
Mr.. Budd is at present working along
Fifth street, and is marking out
curves where the line is to go around
corners.
1t is a curious fact that Mr. Budd
has not called upon the city engineer
for any plats showing the monuments
that determine the center lines of the
streets. This would be done, it would
seem, if any serious move was on foot.
Thus far no earth has been turned,
although it is reported that scraper
was borrowed from one of the stone
quarries.
Very little information of tangible
character can be obtained from the To-
cal representatives of the company. 1t
was reported yesterday that Secretary
Wilhartz had received telegram from
the construction company saying that
the necessary money had been secured
ny,l hI 70 6ror 4
He could not be found, but A. E.
Clark, the legal representative of the
Mankato Electric Street Railway,
Light and Power Co., said that he had
neither seen nor heard of such tele-
gram. He did not care to talk much
about what was to be done in the way
of actual construction.
The work that has thus far been done
by the company does not represent
much of an expenditure, and attorneys
say that it does not amount to sub
stantial compliance with the terms of
the franchise unless followed by work
of much greater scope and magnitude
in the near future.
The suggestion has been made and
discussed on the streets that the coun-
Gil at its meeting Friday night take
action to cancel the franchise. G. N.
Andrews, chairman of the board of
trade special committee, states that
such action would not cut any figure.
If the franchise has not been substan
TALLY complied with, it has already
lapsed and no action of the council is

A FAMILY'S TROUBLES.
Barn Burns AID Father and Two Sons
Injured.

''It never rains but what it pours, -
is an adage that the York family, liv-
ing near Bradley's crossing, has learn
ed to believe. Two or three days ago
James York's barn burned down. He
was burned about the face in trying to
save the contents, and his son, James
Henry York, was badly burned on
one of his hands. A few hours later,
another son, Frank York, while cut
ting corn, slashed one of his feet, cut
ting the tendons on three toes. He
was removed to st. Joseph's hospital,
and it is expected that the severed ten
dons will grow together again. DIR.
Webster attended to the injuries of the
various members of the family.
