ONE MILLION DOLLARS.
This Will be the Capitalization of the
New Street Railway Company.

The new company which is expected
to take over the franch Use of the Man.
kato Electric Street Railway, Light
and Power Co. today proposes to in
crease the capital stock to 81, 900, 900.
Extensions will be financed separately
and operated by the company, the
same as the Mankato q New Ulm road
was constructed by its own bonds and
is operated as part of the North
Western system.
The prospectus calls for an extern
sion of the line to st. Paul, and the
route is believed to lie through LIE
Sueur Center, taking in Lake Wash
ington on the way. Another extension
will run through Eagle Lake and St.
Clair to Alma City, the same as pro-
posed by the old company.
The new company will surely erect
an electric lighting plant and must
construct three miles of street railway
by July LIST. 1t has plenty of fin ancial
backing, so it is reliably stated.
Secretary Wilhartz, of the old COM
pany, is expected to arrive home to-
night. 1t is limited that he took with
him the resignation of all of the old
directors, to facilitate the transfer OF
the company to the new hands, which
was expected to be accomplished to-

REAPPORTIONMENT
The Lower Part of the City
Would Gain.
The Present Ward Lines do Not
Give that Section Fair Repre-
SentatiOn i'm the Council.

The proposition adopted by the char
ter commission looking to the division
of the city into seven wards would re-
suit in some radical changes in ward
lines. 1t is proposed to leave the Sixth
ward as it is at present, and to make
six wards out of the other five The
population of the city by wards is as
follows: First 1854, Second 2,O52,
Third 1,572, Fourth 1,7S7, Fifth
2, 1O6, Sixth 997.
Since the last reapportionment, the
main growth of the city has been in
the First, Second and Fifth wards.
Leaving the Sixth ward out of &C
count, the average population of the
other wards is 1890, and with seven
wards it would be reduced to 1900.
Under the present arrangement. the
three lower WARDS with a population
of 5,709 have no more representation
in the council than the three upper
wards with A, 800 population. With
seven wards, the present lower three
wards would have four aldermen by
taking in 700 population on the north
half of the Fourth ward. In politics
The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1901-01-25

the three lower wards would be solidly
Democratic, the three upper wards
solidly Republican, and the middle
ware. about standoff with the chances
perhaps slightly favorable to the Re-
publicans. But as the aldermen are
never elected on political issues this
would cut no figure The alderman
from the middle ward would have no
leanings toward either end of the city,
but would naturally favor the best in
terests of both. The old feeling be-
tween upper and lower town has dur
ing recent years given place to one of
great friendship, and both have had
full share of public ssimprovements-in
fact, all that they have asked for.
Water mains have been extended to
Dukes addition and West Mankato,
sewers constructed wherever petitioned
for, and streets graded There is no
local interest at either end of the city
that has not been carefully attended
to-
The time is nearly at hand when the
three larger wards will have to be
broken into two precincts each, under
the state law which requires that pre-
cincts shall not have more than 400
voters. 1t would be much less expen-
sive at election time to have seven
voting places than nine, and the re-
apportionment would do for great
many years.
1t would seem that the lower part of
the city should be much more in favor
of the reapportionment into seven
wards than the upper part, which now
has as many aldermen with 819 less
population.

Now that Mr.. Mcconnell has been
appointed and confirmed as dairy and
food commissioner, it may be entirely
proper to say. for the information of
one or two st. Paul newspapers, that
the opposition to McConnell's appoint
ment did not arise from anything con-
nected with the Mankato postoffice.
The offense charged against him was
of somewhat recent occurrence, and of
nature that made good many work
ing Republicans feel that his selection
was hardly in line with political
merit. However, the governor evil
IDENTIFY felt that his record in the de-
partment more than overbalanced the
objections bro ught by those who op-
posed him and the friends of the gov
ernor will acquiesce in Mr.. Mcconnell s
appointment without personally ap-
proving of the appointee.

SCATTERS SMALLPOX.
A Reputable Physician at Appleton, Wis.
INDUCES in a Queer Freak.

A special to the Minneapolis Times
this morning from Appleton, Wis.,,
says:
"a reputable physician of this city
has created CONSERVATION among the
citizens by his rash act in exposing
persons to smallpox.
"After gaining admission in secret
manner to a very pronounced case of
smallpox, DR.. M. J. Rodermund broke
the pustules that had formed on the
patient and rubbed the virus over his
own face, neck and arms. Then he
mingled with people of his acquaint-
ance without washing the germs from
his body.
"Those who were exposed were
badly frightened. The Doctors child
rem have been excluded from the pub
lie schools and his son sent away from
college. DR.. Rodermund is tine author
of a book entitled 'Murderous Fads in
the Practice of Medicine, in which
he contends that no contagious diseases
exist, that vaccination is wrong and
dangerous, and that germs do not
cause disease.
So B. Wingate, state health officer,
will come in tonight to take charge
of the case. Dr. Rodermund is en-
phatic in his statement that he will
never be quarantined while alive

AT EAU CLAIRE.
Henry Nelson Believed to Have
Been Located.
Some Queer Things He Did Before De.
parting Are Just Coming
to Light.

A telegram has been received from
the chief of police at Eau Claire, Wis,
stating that Henry Nelson, the Stand
ard Brewing Co. g missing shipping
clerk, has been there and is expected
to return as he has relatives there. He
has been instructed to arrest Nelson
and hold him for an officer with re-
QUESTION papers.
John S. Kiesel, the Northwestern
representative of the Cincinnati
Chemical Co., who was taken from a
train by mistake by deputy
sheriff at st. Cloud Tues
day morning, who mistook him
for Nelson, as related by the Free
Press yesterday, is known to the drug
gists of Mankato, as he makes this city
at regular intervals They say that he
closely resembles Nelson in appear
ance. The officers of the brewery
company expected that Nelson would
go to ST. Cloud, where he is said to
have lady friend, and they instructed
the officers there that if he was not
already there he would probably ar
rive on the Great Northern train, &C
compa MED by woman. A deputy
sheriff who met the train thought that
Mr.. Kiesel must be the man, but local
druggists soon identified him and he
was promptly released. He was &C
companied by his wife.
Nelson has wife and five children
in a Southern Minnesota town.
There is evidence tending to show that
he had planned his departure some
days ahead He had the handling Of
no money at the brewery, but was
frequently sent to the banks with
large amounts The evening before
he departed he presented Mrs. Him
melm an with handsome purse, say
ing that he wished to give it to her on
account of the kindness which had
been shown him at the hotel. After he
had gone, it developed that he pro-
cured it of Geo. Lang and had not paid
for it. Mrs. Zimmerman promptly re-
turned it to Mr.. Lang as the rightful
owner
The day before his departure, Mel
son procured two boxes of cigars at
Zimmerman cigar store and had them
charged to the brewery company. Mr..
Zimmerman was aware that the COM
pany always sent an order when it
made purchases, but Nelson explained
that just as he was leaving the Office
member of the company had called
to him to bring the cigars. This sat
isfied Mr. Zimmerman and he let Mel
son have them. Nelson took the cigars
to the Athletic club in the evening
and passed them out among the mem
bers
A couple of weeks ago, Nelson pro-
cured So bottle of perfumery at
drug store and asked to have it charg
ed to the brewery company This the
druggist declined to do, and it was
charged to Nelson personally and the
account is still standing against him.

and directed that the flag upon the
capitol be placed at half mast as a
token of respect to the dead.
Senator J. H. Smith of Becker
county had bill read appropriating
$40, 600 for the purpose of seed grain
loans to farmers whose crops were de-
stroyed by the drouth of 1900.
Albert Berg presented bill which
requires that the name of every
notary public be on his Off
cial seal. The object of this is to
IDENTIFY the name of the notary, as
many of them write such miserable
hands that not even hieroglyphic ex-
pert can make out the signature. This
is the rule in many states and would
save a great deal of expense and doubt
and litigation, as Mr.. Berg pointed
out in his last report as secretary of
state.
The refusal of the house to concur
in the action of the senate, placing
fourteen instead of seven senators on
the joint reapportionment committee,
resulted in the appointment yesterday
of joint conference committee.
Three representatives were appointed
to the committee Tuesday and the SEN
ate conference appointed yesterday are
Senators Somerville. Daugherty and
Grindeland. The senate representa-
ton will stand firm for equal represen-
tation on the joint committee and it
is improbable that the conference
committee will adjust the reapportion-
ment membership unless the house re-
cedes from its present position.
