for starting when the fall rains come, and the trash of the old sod will fur nish some winter protection to the new plants. If some stable manure can be spared for a light top dressing it will pay well in making a sod that will choke out the weeds. We expect
 too much of our pastures, and help them too little. If the bare spots were given some seed in bad years, and some fertilizers were added after a light scratching of the surface, weeds would be kept under control, more

In September, no matter if the weather is dry, a grain drill, with sharp hoes, should be run over all thin patches in the pasture, dis tributing onefourth to one-third of bushel of timothy seed an acre in connection with 200 pounds an acre of high-grade acid phosphate. The drill-hoes will put the thin sod so that
 some of the seed will find fresh soil

Renewing Old Pastures.

The severe drought has been hard on pastures, both on account of lack of moisture and on account of over stocking. The sod is killed out in places, and weeds will come in. A great deal of our natural pasture land should not be broken except when a new seeding becomes abso- lutely necessary, and the lifetime of these pastures could be prolonged by some attention right now. The best way to control weeds is to crowd

through the papers. Ma son City,
Iowa, has a section in it's charter which
imposes heavy license fee upon men
who come in with stock of goods to
pour on the market but who leave be-
fore they can be taxed. Whether this
is constitutional or not, the bankrupt
stock men do not care to take the time
and money necessary to fight it, and so
leave Mason City alone. The man
who last summer flooded the Mankato
market with shoes went from here to
Mason City. He was shown the char
ter provision and he moved on to
Cedar Rapids without unpacking his
goods, and had big sale there. These
men do not pay taxes or help Import
the communities where they do bust
ness, and deserve nothing of them.
They injure the business of those who
are standing by the town, and should
be required to pay a heavy license.
Whether the license is legal or illegal,
it accomplishes the same purpose, for
it causes this class of men to seek
other localities. If the charter COM
mission will do this, all the merchants
will turn out and work for the new
charter and it will mean hundreds of
votes -

REMEMBERED AS AN AUTHOR.

The Minneapolis Times speaking of
the late Ignatius Donnelly, who was
one of Minnesota s most conspicuous
sons says:
''More stability of purpose, fixed
ness of conviction, and suavity of rea-
soning would have made Ignatius
Donnelly one of the most foremost
men in current American politics.
When in politics he was noteworthy
figure and for many years, in fact up
to his death, his influence in public
affairs was palpable, if not potential.
1t is not as the politician, however,
not as the Republican, the Democrat,
the Fusionist, the Populist, or the
Mid-roader, that Ignatius Donnelly
will be remembered when he has been
a matter of memory for score of
years. He was the author of cat
lantis, - and such authorship is his
best and most enduring bid for fame.
While his theory in regard to the
authorship of plays attributed to
Shakespeare gained little acceptance,
and his cryptogrammic cipher attract
ed more scorn than sympathy, yet his
insistence upon the Baconian theory of
authorship, of itself induced study,
not only of Shakespeare works, but
of his life, and in this regard was of
advantage.

SUPERINTENDENT WILL ACT.
Young Fellows Who Broke Into High
School Building TO be Punished.

Superintendent Uline feels that the
school board will back him up in pun
ishing the young men who have broken
into the high school building and
thrown the books around The talk
which Capt. Keysor gave at the meet
ing of the board last night has encour-
aged him in this belief, and he will
proceed as soon as school opens Mon
day. He has traced the ringleadership
down to three parties, one of whom is
already under suspension for another
breach of discipline. Mr.. Uline states
that with the bad influence of these
three young fellows, whose names he
does not disclose, out of the school
there will arise no more trouble in the
future, as the balance of the students
are earnest and well behaved and de-
sirous of improving the splendid op-
portunities which the city has afforded
them.
The school unfortunately does not
have record of supporting the super
intendent in matters of discipline,
which fact has discredited the Man
kato schools over the state, but in this
instance it may have backbone enough
to do so.

DYING OF POISON
A NicoIlet County Family Al
fIicted with TriChinae.
Ate Smoked Sausage That Had Not Been
Cooked -Father and Daughter
Are Dead.

A st. Peter special to this mornings
Pion eer Press says:
San entire family FAMED Ferbe-
cook, in the town of New Sweden,
Nicollet county, are said to be dying
from trichinae poison. The father and
elder daughter have died, the former
on Monday night and the latter last
Saturday.
"There are eleven members of the
family, and the surviving nine are all
afflicted with the malady and physi-
clans have abandoned all hope of their
recovery. A physician was summoned
from Nicollet couple of weeks ago,
and, believing it to be a contagious
disease, had the home quarantined,
preventing the neighbors from visiting
the place or rendering them any assist
ance, and for ten days the sick in
mates of the home endured the un-
happy situation.
"Neighbors, however, interested
them selves and notified other physiS
clans and the state board of health,
and there is no want of attention now,
but it comes too late, as the physi-
clans state that all members of the
family are beyond recovery and will
surely die.
''The disease was contracted through
eating sausage which had only been
smoked.
DR.. w. A. Beach, of this city. is the
attending physician and states that he
is not sure that more than three of the
family will recover. The family was
quarantined for small pox when he
took the case.
The case is one of such interest and
novelty that Dr. Bracken, while in
the city today, sought DR.. Beach and
secured the facts in the case

CASES ARE RECOVERING.
DR.. Bracken, Secretary of the State
Board of Health Makes Suggestions


The three sick children of V A.
Smith are recovering nicely. DR.. H.
M. Bracken, of Minneapolis, secretary
of the state board of health, arrived
in Mankato last evening and left this
forenoon. He visited the Smith child
rem and confirmed the diagnosis of the
attending physician and Health Officer
Holbrook that the disease from which
they are suffering is small pox in a
very mild form. He expressed the
opinion that there is no cause to fear
spread of the disease, as the steps
taken will result in its being stamped
out He suggested that the city should
have pest house in order to be ready
for whatever might turn up in the
future, and also suggested that the
school board require all scholars to be
vaccinated. This latter it has al
ready done.
DR.. Bracken looked over the cases of
illness in West Mankato and pro-
nounced the trouble to be a coontagi-
onus inflammation and eruption of the
skin, but harmless in it's effects. There
are fifteen or twenty of these cases
and few cases of chicken pox in the
city.
Mr.. Bracken states that small pox
should not create panic. If properly
handled, it is less difficult to control
than diph liberia. 1t exists at present
in forty villages, towns and cities of
the state and more than thirty country
districts, and is also in n eighboring
states. The general type of the disease
within the past few years has been
mild, and only about one death to
fifty cases has occurred. The present
outbreak originated in Cuba and came
to the southern states before the recent
war and spread north, east and west

a mild form in number of communi-
ties in the state. With it all around
US, Mankato would be fortunate if it
escaped without mum Der of cases.
He asked whether it would not be
wise to require all of the children en-
tering the public schools after the holt
days to produce certificates of vaccina-
ton before being allowed to enter.
There were only few who had not
been vaccinated.
Capt. Keysor said that he was in
favor of such move There is some
opposition in West Mankato to vac
cination, but the board could not
jeopardize the whole community for
the sake of pleasing few cranks. 1t
would strengthen the superintendent
to have the board act. He moved that
the pupils must present certificates of
vaccination before being admitted to
the school again after the holiday
vacation.
Mr.. Wilson said that he doubted
whether the board could require this
unless there were enough cases in the
city to make it necessary, which there
were not.
President Davis said that the ques-
tion was whether the board was going
to wait until there was epidemic be-
fore it acted
Mr.. Wilson said that the board could
request the certificates A case of this
kind had come up in the district court
at Anoka and the court held that the
certificates must be produced, but said
that he should not have held so unless
there had been number of cases in
the city.
Mr.. Comstock was asked his opinion
and said that public necessity almost
demands this action in view of the
small pox being so prevalent all around
us in the state.
President Davis said that he had
an anxiety to employ every precaution,
SO that there might be no danger of
an epidemic that would compel the
closing of the schools. $50
The motion was carried unani-
mously.

proposition to. the school board on
behalf of the Citizens Telephone CO.
that five phones would be furnished
FOR S1l11 q year zss'---.-.
= a motion by Capt: Keysor 60 accept
the proposition was lost because the
five year contract for the three phones
at present used was not cancelled.
After some discussion, Mr. Comstock
moved that 1T was the sense of the
board that Mr.. Wizards proposition be
accepted in case all previous contracts
are cancelled. This was carried with
not opposition. It means that all of
the school buildings in the city will be
connected by telephone.
On motion of Mr.. Wilson, the salary
of Miss Schildknecht for the balance
of the year was raised So month.
The following amendment to rule
was adopted - -

COMMITTEE MEETS
Charter Amendments Talked
Over Last Night.
Proposition to Have Seven Wards, and
One TO Drop the President of
the B. of p. w

The judiciary committee of the char
ter commission held a meeting last
evening and had an exchange of views.
The charter was talked over in a gen.
eral way, but nothing more was done,
and another meeting will be held Sat
urday evening.
A new point was raised at the meet
ing of the committee, and that was
whether the city ought to be redis-
tricted into seven wards in order to
have seven aldermen without having
one at large. This was favored by some
and one alderman at large was advo-
Gated by others, while still others
favored leaving the matter as it is
now. 1t was urged in opposition to
seven wards that it would raise poll
tical issue that would endanger the
charter, and would increase the cost of
elections, and put good many people
at sea on the ward boundaries which
are now established in peoples minds.
Another thing that was discussed
was how to simplify the board of pub
lie works, and a plan was suggested
which would result in dropping out
the president of the board of public
works and having his duties perform
ed by the city treasurer, whose salary
would be increased. There would be
a net saving of $400 to 500 annually,
according to those who advocate this
plan. 1t is proposed to take the asses
sor from the board, which would be
composed of the city treasurer and
city engineer.
There are those on the committee
who are in favor of electing all of the
city officials, including the assessor
and city attorney, by vote of the
people.
A division may arise in the COM
mittee on the proposition to have a one
man power, it is rumored, as some do
not favor charging the power of the
mayor. The committee is disposed to
leave the council its present powers.
There is one thing which all of the
members of the committee are agreed
upon, and that is that the central idea
to run through new charter shall be
economy without sacrificing efficiency
1t is proposed to make the city govern
ment as simple as possible and as in
expensive as it may be made.
One of the retail merchanst today
called the reporter in and said:
''When you write something about the
new charter there is one thing that 1
would like to have brought before the
charter commission. There are no re-
tail merchants on the commission, al
though about every other profession
is represented, and there is no other
way to get our interests brought to
the attention of the commission than
