From the Union:

corn, and with the exception of few
high nolls in the field and along one
side near the timber, the stand is as

going down into the cellar at her
home, made mis-step, thinking she
was at the bottom when she was not
within one step of it, and was SO Sc
verely shaken up she has been confined

A corn cutter belonging to Fred and
Henry Fuller, housed in the old Hill
residence, on the farm, was burned up
with the building, one day last week.
1t is presumed the fire was acciden-

RED HOT INTERVIEW.
President Fisk Tells Why the Auction
GERS Assn Was Organized Yesterday.

President F. S. Fisk of the Mime,
sofa State Auctioneers' association,
| which was organized in the city Tues
day, and an account of which was
published by the Free Press, was asked
by reporter what the organization
of auctioneers was started for, and re-
piled:
every illiterate, brassy, egotistical,
ignoramus can't jump in and go to
practicing law, prescribing for the
sick, carpentering or patching teeth,
fitting glasses or even administering
| to the sickness and disease of the poor
dumb beast, without laying him
self liable to criminal prosecution.
All these caliings or professions have
their state associations, and legisla-
tive enactments for their protection.
And we propose to show that auc-
pioneering amounts to good deal
more than nothing and even some
thing over. We do not of course pro-
pose that every auctioneer shall be
able to conjugate the Greek verbs, to
have mastered analytical geometry,
differential and intregal calculus, or to
be masters of all the mental sciences.
But what we do purpose is that no in
experienced ignoramus, scarcely able
to read and write, whose knowledge
of human nature and of the value and
worth of livestock, machinery and
merchandise is something like David
Crockett's latin was, shall jump in
and Cry sales at So day because his
chief stock in trade happens to be
coarse loud mouth and an over pro-
duction of brass. We think the edu-
Gated, experienced and skillful auc-
tioneer should receive at least three per
cent commission on his sales. We
favor state license, and believe that no
candidate should be granted such Ii
cense until he has served at least two
years apprenticeship under some Ii
censed and general auctioneer and
passed satisfactory examination be-
fore an examining board of at least
three members of the State Auctioneers'
association, which board shall be ap-
pointed for that purpose by the COVER
nor of the state. The auctioneer
comes in contact with more people
than the lawyer, doctor and preacher
all together, and why shouldn't he be
a gentleman and a scholar? 1t requires
as much tact and skill to han die a
crowd of 800 to 1000 people at an auc-
tion, and to make a clean, successful
sale, as it does to try a law suit. I'm
like the old man telling his son that
honesty was the best policy. 1 have
tried both and know what I am talk
ing about"

MAGIC ARRESTED.
Ed. Andrews Gives Strong Testimony
Against Him.


Antonio Maggie, the musician and
alleged anarchist and former member
of the Andrews Opera Co., who is said
to have predicted the assassination of
President Mckinley, has been arrested
at Santa Rita, mining camp near Sill
yer City, N. NJ, on instructions from
Washington. Maggie has been play
ing a piano in saloon at Santa Rita.
He is said to have frequently made
the prediction that the president would
be killed before Oct. 1. He is quoted
as saying that Emperor William of
Germany will be the next ruler assas-
sinated.
Ed. Andrews, manager of the An
drews Opera company, with which
Antonio Maggie was formerly engaged
as cornetist, was interviewed in Kan
sas City yesterday.
''Several members of our company, !"
said Mr.. Andrews, "were in the habit
of discussing economic and social
questions, and Tony cut in with his
anarchistic doctrines. Maggie said no
man hads.a right to rule another, and
one. day said the..blood of every soldier
killed in the Philippines was on Presi-
dent McKinley's hands and the only
way the common people could assert
their rights was by assassination.
Early last February he told me dis
tinctly to watch for an important
event before October. He assured US
that President Mckinley would be
killed before that month came"
Maggie left the company at Silver
City, n. M, Mr.. Andrews said, be-
cause his sympathies were enlisted
with an anarchist prisoner there.

NO RELIEF.
State Board of Equalization Can
Give None.
Attorney General Thinks 1t Strange thai
Local Officials Assess Building and
Loan Assn So Heavily.

Thomas Hughes returned Tuesday
from ST. Paul. where he read paper
before a meeting of the State Histori
cal society on the treaty of the Ira
verse de Sioux. - This paper, (which
is an interesting one and shows care
full research, is published elsewhere.ir
this issue. ,,---Ex Gov. :. Ramsey, zee n
Sanborn and others WARMLY congratu
lated him upon the paper, which was
listened to with interest by all. -, -
Mr.. Hughes talked informally with
members of the state board of equaliz-
alton in regard to- the assessment, Of
the aMankatos Mutual Building and
Loan association. He was convinced
that the board could not help the asso-
cation, for the reason that lit ..hasss..ne
power to .lower assessments. q 1t Can
raise other associations, but cannot
lower this one. s---.---
Attorney General Douglas told Mr..
Hughes that he thought that the coun-
ty board of equalization would sashave
helped out the local building and loan
association. Heslooked.upon..i it as be-
ing singular that it did not put, sthe
assessment quite low, as such an asso-
citation is generally considered. Ito be
avery good thing for the place where
it is located. Usually the associations
do not encounter the trouble that 1.-THE
Mankato one has at the hands of its
home officials.
Mr.. Hughes is convinced that the
only way to obtain relief is through
the courts, and thinks that the courts
will hold that the law does not apply
to an association which carries on
business in the way that the local as
ISOLATION does. He has doubts whether
the courts would require any tax what
ever to be collected from it.
Some of the members of the associ
alton are in favor of recognizing as a
savings bank, so as to be on an equal
footing with other loaning institu-
tions, Another suggestion has been made
that it move its headquarters to North
Mankato There are some features of
the savings bank law that do not COM
mend themselves to some of the mem
bers, and it may be that the associa-
ton will wind up its affairs, which
would be a very unfortunate thing for
the city and hold back its growth. -

LADIES WILL HELP.
Plans for the Winter Talked Over by Y
N. c. A. Auxiliary.

ioh ioA WV W
M. c. A. Auxiliary.
The ladies' auxiliary of the Y. M.
G. A. held largely attended meeting
Tuesday afternoon, and listen ed to a
half hours talk by Secretary Gran,
who unfolded plan whereby he
thought that the ladies could be of
material assistance to the work of the
association during the winter.
Among other things, Mr.. Gran sug-
gested that one of the ladies each
month open her home for an hour or
two in the afternoon to the younger
boys. He thought that this would add
dignity to the boys work and would
make them feel that people are inter-
ested in them. This was given favor
able attention, but no action was
taken.
Other suggestions by Mr.. Gran were
acted upon favorably. They were that
the ladies fit up the additional room
that has just been leased, to be used
by the younger boys; that they make
a number of minor improvements in
the other rooms, at little expense but
adding much to their attracti veness,
such as covering the chairs, oiling the
pictures, putting on new paper, etc !;
that they procure new newspaper files,
etc.
The ladies voted to continue their
subscription to all of the magazines
and periodicals now being taken for
the reading room, and to subscribe for
four others, the Youths Companion,
st. Nicholas, American Boy and one
other. The reading room compares
favorably with those of the Y. M G.
A. in the larger cities, in the periodi-
calls taken
The ladies also decided to hold fire.
quent socials and suppers during the
winter. They will lend their earnest
assistance to the work of the associa-
ton, which will be great help to it.
