WEBB M'NALL HEARD FROM.
Silver Republican "Party" Issues .
Burton Proclamation.

The first official docun ent to be pro-
mulgated from the headquarters of the
Silver Republican state central COM
mittee was issued today. The docu-
ment is in the nature of a letter from
Webb McNall, chairman, to d. o. Nc
Cray, secretary, and reads:

Burton can take the position that the
darned old hulk left him.
/ IF Bhfton had better record at
'hofne and abroad, 1 would advise you
as secretary of our grand Organization
to send him blank application to join
US. TO come In out of the wet, as IL
were. But 1t would make things more
difficult and bring upon my shoulders
a very Eeavy burden if he were one OF
us. AS it is now, when 1 am petitioned
to purge our n embership of corruption
and urge to better conduct, 1 simply
devote ell ny time to you, and If Bur-
to leave you out and work overtime on
him. I guess he is past redemption and
we had better let him alone.
1T is too bad that Burton is not in
line with the platform. Burton has al
ways claimed that he could switch as
quick as any platform. 1 think he has
been sinned against. He is the man
who made Roosevelt know it to be
true, for he has said 1t SO many, many
times, and Rosy does not seem to realize
the fact. The State Journal says that
Burton, of course, will make speeches
on his own account. So can you and l.

TROUBLE IN NEOSHO.
Republicans May Lose County
ON Account of Feud.

There is trouble brewing down in Ne
sosho county. In fact it is already brew
ed. Chanute claims that Erie has absorb
ed nearly all of the places on the Re
publican county ticket, and there is open
rebellion. AS Chanute casts about one
third of the vote of the entire county and
elects what Republicans secure county Of
fees. it is feared that the Republican tick
ct in Neosho county is doomed to defeat.
This is openly admitted by good many
Republicans from that section.
Among the candidates who may be de-
feated, according to reports from Chanute,
is ]. NJ. Nation, the Republican nominee
for the legislature who Is running for re-
election. If this is true 1t may cut off one
vote from Charles Curtis for United States
senator
There is considerable rivalry between
Chanute and Erie. Erie is the county
seat and feels important Chanute,
although Chanute has several times as
many inhabitants. 1t would look as
though Chanute could run the politics OF
the county, but the Erie Republicans are
workers and organizers, while the Cha
mute people are too busy with oil wells
and such things to plan political cam
paigns.
Chanute wanted the candidate for pro-
bate judge this year. 1t was supposed
that as long as Erie had the candidate for
thing else except the denomination of J.
NJ. Nation for the legislature. Chanute
supposed the rest of the candidates would
go to the country, several of them in the
vicinity of that town.
But instead of that the Erie contingent
organized and controlled the convention
They took three offices. including probate
judge, which Chanute wanted, and die
tated the balance. They compelled Cha
mute to take register of deeds and nomi-
mated a man for that place whom the
Chanute people did not care for especially

The next meeting will be held Feb.

One of our members recently visited

ing parlor meeting commemorative
of their fourth anniversary. Very
pretty souvenir programs were issued
to each guest. A fine program was
rendered and dainty refreshments
served. About forty ladies were pre-

THE SENATE'S ATTITUDE.

st. Paul, Feb. 11.-There is no
member of the senate tax committee
who is opposed to the adoption of the
tax code. On the other hand there is
no member of the committee who will
support the code in it's entirety, as
presented by the tax commission. The
fight for the committees report will
be led by Senator Young. while the
opposition will probably be headed by
Senator sheehan, although he him
self says that no program can be out
lined until the report is presented.

mittee last week, have a deeper inter

FUMIGATI0N CHARGES.
None Are Made Except Outside of the
City Limits.

....Health Officer Hielscher explains the
plan followed in making charges Efor
the fumigation of premises in case of
disease. He states that where private
residences in North Mankato or Man
kato township are fumigated, a charge
of $1.75 is made in each case, but
where a private residence or other
place within the city limits is fumi-
gated no charge is made.
The reason why a bill was sent to
the school district for the fumigation
of school rooms was because the school
district takes in property outside of
the city. If the limits of the district
were the same as the city, no charge
would be made. The health officer fol-
lowed the precedent established by the
board of public works in charging the
school district for water used in the
various school buildings.

A GOOD MEETING
Merchants Consider Matters of
Local Interest.
Report as to Municipal and Private
Lighting Plants. Steps For
Fourth Street Park.

The Merchants Protective associa-
ton held a meeting Tuesday night that
was attended by about hundred
members. Five new members joined,
including Aids. Taylor and Heinze,
who were present at the meeting.
J. 81. Long, for the committee on
fire insurance policy, presented copy
of the state policy of Michigan, which
he thought was better than the Min
nesota policy. In the Michigan policy,
the report of the appraisers in case of
loss is held only to be prima facie evil
dence of the amount of the loss instead
of conclusive and final" evidence, as
the Minnesota state policy provides.
1t was voted to recommend the
change to the state insurance commits
sioner, the matter being left in the
hands of the committee to do this.
The committee appointed to memoir
slize Congressman McCleary in regard
to securing a mail wagon reported that
it had done 80, but that it had as yet
received no answer. -.. '.
The committee on electric lights re-
ported that it had sent letters to sixty
towns and cities asking for informa-
ton as to the price charged for COM
mercial and street lighting, and that
it had received replies from eighteen
places in Minnesota, Wisconsin and
Iowa. OF these eighteen, half are
lighted by private companies and the
other half by plants belonging to the
municipalities. -.
Where there is municipal ownership
all are pleased with it, Prices fol-
commercial lighting average nearly the
same as charged in Mankato, but the
cost of street lighting is less. Where
private companies do the lighting, the
prices for both commercial and street
lighting are higher than in Manksto
in many places, while in few they
are lower.
The committee was continued, and
at the next regular meeting will re-
port the information received from
other points that were written to.
A discussion took place, that was
participated in by many, and all the
speakers favored the city putting in a
plant to do street and commercial
lighting, but most of them were op-
posed to a plant merely for street
lighting. ..%-
The railroad committee reported
that it had presented its views to the
council in regard to the granting Of
