him.
Before dinner he showed them a tar.

let right in the bullseye.
This he claimed to have shot at SOC
yards distance.
AS nobody believed him he offered to
bet b price Of an oyster supper on it,
and on one Of his guests accepting the
wager he produced two witnesses
whose veracity could not be doubted to
prove his assertion.
Since they both stated that be had
done what he claimed he won his bet.
During dinner the loser of the wager
inquired how the host had managed to
nre such an excellent shot.
The host answered.:

a distance Of 500 yards, and then I
painted the target round it."-Tit-Bits.

1T COSTS LESS TO LIVE.

The cost of living in the United
States today is less than it was in 1850.
General commodities, like breadstuffs,
sugar rice, salt, woolens and cotton
goods, ETC., are considerably cheaper
and better made now than 80 years
ago. All manufactured goods, with
hardly an exception, because of i'm
proved processes of manufacture, are
either much cheaper or much better.
The Minneapolis Brewing company,
which produces Golden Grain Belt
beer has put into improved quality all
the advantages of modern methods of
production. Their beer, 6rewed from
the purest barley, malt and hops, care
fully aged and bottled with perfect
cleanliness, is the most healthful of
modern beverages. Clear, sparkling
and delicious, it is an exceptionally
fine drink for family use. Order of

CEMENT SIDEWALKS.
1hsy Are the Best and Cheapest When
Properly Laid.

The action of the council in con-
demning so many poor board walks
has aroused much interest on the part
of property owners as to the walk they
must put down to accord with the de-
mands of the ordinance. 1t is not the
company or concern that makes the
most noise and prints the greatest
scare lines that does the best work.
We do not advertise in the newspapers
very much, because we contend that a
we'll constructed curb and well laid
walk is always a standing advertise
ment of our excellence as sidewalk
contractors. A majority of the walks
in. this city have the name of the Man
kato Sidewalk company impressed
therein and this fact shows that they
not only make the best walk, but also
that they have laid more of it in Man
kato, and of quality not equaled by
any one else We employ only expert
enced workmen-men who thoroughly
understand their businessman as a
sequence our curbing is all straight,
and the walk all firm and first class.
When you want new walk or curb
or both, it will be to your interest to
see us before letting the contract.
We have laid nearly as much side
walking outside of. Mankato-at this year
as we have inside, and have large
number of contracts yet to complete.

PROSPERITY EVERYWHERE.
What B. D. Psy Saw During His South
Dakota Trip.

B. D. Pay, who with his wife re-
turned Monday afternoon from a
months visit in South Dakota, was
never away from Mankato for so long
continuous period before since he
came here in the early days. The
veteran liveryman has stood fai thfully
by Mankato. and has seen it develop
into large and thriving city and his
business grow from small beginnings
until now he and his son, w. Fl.
Pay, have one of the best equipped
barns in the west, model of its kind,
and filled with pneumatic tired, rubber
tired and all the other latest advances
in the carriage builders art, pleasing
to the eye and comfortable for the oc-
cupants.
Mr.. Pay states that the crops in
South Dakota are looking perfect
From Mankato to Huron the ground is
covered with one solid mass of waving
grain fields, intermingled with ex-
panses of corn, fax, etc. 1t was a
wonder to the traveller how such a vast
amount of grain could ever be moved
if there were no railroads, as was the
case when he first came into the west.
Huron is the dividing point, where
grain growing gives way to stock
raising. Mr.. Pay was amazed at the
extent of the creamery industry. Little
stations would be seen surrounded
with milk wagons. There was an air
of prosperity noticeable everywhere.

SATISFYING CURIOSITY,
People Are Wondering What Was Buried
By Horse Traders.

Tuesday forenoon Chief Bowen and
Officer Bienapf went to Columbia
Park to Investigate report that two
graves were made there by band Of
horse traders who encamped there
three years ago. The officers found
two little mounds resembling graves.
One was five feet six inches long and
the other four feet six inches long. 1t
was decided not to open them to in
vestigate the contents until after
County Attorney Wilson returns from
Winona and can be consulted in re-
gard to the matter
Some curiosity has been aroused
among residents of that neighborhood
as to whether the graves contain the
bones of dogs, human beings, or no
bones at all. Probably they will be
opened after Mr.. Wilson s return. This
band of horse traders is said never to
have been seen since.

The value of agricultural exports
from the United States for the year
1900 reached 1914 GIG, $50. OF this
amount England took nearly one-half
or $500, 600, 600, and Germany 1884,
900, 000 With one exception the year
exports to Great Britain were the
largest on record In 1896 our total
agricultural exports were 1914, 39S, 264.
South America is the only section of
the country that shows decrease in
our farm exports. The decline has
been from $11, 236, 900 in 1895 to &c., :
400, 900 in 1900. The principal items
of agricultural export are broadstuffs

.EGov. yates of Illinois has announced
himself for Theodore Roosevelt for
president in 1904. He has just return
ed from the ssButfaIo EXPOSITION, and
says that both at the fair and on the
lakes he met many men from the west,
as we'll as from New York who are
representative of their localities, and
that he found among them strong
sentiment forming for Roosevelt The
fact that Gov. Yates would commit
himself to Roosevelt's candidacy at
this time is pretty good indication
that the undercrurent of public
opinion is setting in strongly at pres
ent for the vice president for first
place in 1904 1t would be one of the
strange freaks of politics if Roosevelt
should grow to occupy much the same
place in his party in 1904 that Nc
Kinley did in 1885, and should be
nominated with the same ease. There
is no doubt that today the west is
strong for the vice president for the
Republican standard bearer three years
hence, and his popularity does not
seem to die out in the least as some of
his political opponents were in hopes
would be the case when he was placed
on the vice presidential shelf last year
Today he is unquestionably the leader
in the race for 1904. What three years
will bring forth and what great
changes they will work politically is
hard to predict, but it is certainly a
fact that thus far politically Theodore
Roosevelt has been about as lucky in
his career as has William Mckinley.

1t has been suggested by some one
that if every farmer living in a sec
ton where gravel is, accessible would
make the patriotic effort to gravel just
30 rods of the public highway each
year independent of his regular road
work, what lot of good roads we
would have inside of ten years Every
man could thus work right in front of
his own premises. The suggestion is
worth considering.

WHY THIS DISCRIMINATION?

The railroads entering city can do
much toward securing crowd, or they
can stand as insurmountable obstacles
in keeping people at home. The
difference in conditions depends en-
tirely upon the disposition of these
great transportation corporations in
granting rates. 1t has, we are sorry
to say, been Mankato's misfortune to
be denied concessions in low fares that
are frequently granted to other cities
of less Importance and because Of this
handicap we are constantly being put
to disadvantage in securing people
from distance who would otherwise
be glad to come here and participate
in our festivities.
The refusal of the railroads to grant
the Elks' Carnival association better
than one and one third fare for the
round trip is as unjust as it is unfair.
Mankato has granted the various lines
of roads running into and through the
city valuable concessions, while the
citizens as individuals have always re-
sponded whenever aid was asked by
the roads to secure right of-way across
streets and though property belonging
to the municipality. No city Of its
size in the northwest has been more
willing to help the railroad people to
what they wanted than has Mankato,
and we do not believe that there is
city of its size and Importance that has
received less reciprocal consideration
from these same corporate interests.
Excursion trains are run from Man
kato to Saltwater and Red Wing and
return for a dollar and seventy-6ve
cents-less than a cent mile for the
round trip. New Ulm has several
times had excursions from the twin
cities for the same fare, and during
the summer the twin city business
men are able to have trains from vari
GUS parts of the state run there at a
cent mile rate for the round trip
and often at tariff even lower than
this.
Why this discrimination against
Mankato?
Two committees have.thus far failed
tosignite the spark of generosity of the
Railroads.&c. indeed there be spark
of generosity left for Mankato's inter
ests-to better effect that full fare
and third for carnival week. This
rate is equal to about 80 cents as
against one cent not infrequently
granted to smaller cities and for occa
sions of much less interest and import
ance than that which is to occur in
Mankato next week. 1t seems to us
that the railroads are standing in their
own light in this matter unless, in
deed, they are standing out because of
determination to discriminate
against us. And why they should
resort to such discrimination is not
clear in the fact of past favors extend
ed on the part of the city and her citi-
zens.
But despite the ungenerous action of
the transportation companies great
crowd will be here. The list of at
fractions is 80 great and varied as to
create desire on the part of thousands
of people from distance to come, and
come they will Thousands more
would come if the railroads would ex-
tend such assistance as they should. 1t
is possible they may do so even yet,
although frankness compels us to ex-.
press doubt on this point.
