National Ment Inapector.

The meat inspection service of the
national government has grown to
proportions commensurate with the
live stock industry. 1t is now main
tanned in 81 cities and at 156 abattoirs.
Nearly 37,000,000 animals were in
spected at time of slaughter. This is
an increase over the preceding year of
9 cities, s abattoirs and 100000 an
imals. Although in the aggregate a
large number of carcasses were con-
demned, the percentage has been ex-
tremely small. In nearly $780, 600 cat
tie inspected the condemned carcasses
amounted to only about one-fourth OF
l per cent; in 6,500000 sheep it was
about one-tenth of l per cent, and in
"a, 250, 900 hogs it was but one-third OF
1 per cent. The larger part of the In
spected meat, as might be anticipated,
went into interstate commerce and was
consumed in the United States, but
there were exported under department
certificates 452,S3O pounds of beef,
S94,64S pounds of mutton, and 2S1, ,144,-
93S pounds of pork. The microscopic
inspection of pork was maintained
during the year, but owing to the COM
paratively high prices in this country
there was a considerable decrease of
exports in this line of products, but
35,942, ,404 pounds having been certified
for countries requiring such inspec-
ton.

TEACHER SECURED
Manual Training Department
Has a Head
Enrolment in the Schools is lncreaS-
ing--Teachers Should Attend
the N. E.A.

The school board last night elected a
teacher of manual training. Ernest B.
Pierce of st. Paul secured the posi-
tion at salary of $40 month. He
is brother Of Mrs. Marietta Pierce
johnson, a former teacher in the nor
NAL school, and is a graduate of the
normal school and also of the me-
chanic's arts high school at st. Paul,
and has attended the state university
two years Besides manual training,
he will probably teach commercial
bookkeeping.
Mr.. Fletcher wanted to know where
the duties of the board end and where
those of the parent begin. The schools
cannot be run as they are in city
having ten times the population. He
suggested that some one move that the
scholars, when they graduate, be
given 81, 500 or So, 900 each to COM
mence business with. He thought that
if they were to be educated to do bust
ness, they ought to be taught to keep
proper set of books.
The committee on property and ex-
pense was authorized to purchase the
necessary manual training supplies.
The absent members of the board
were Messrs. Davis, Coughlan and
Keysor.
Mhen the minutes of the last meet
ing were read, Mr. Davies said that
he desired to record his vote for man
ual training. although he could not
attend the meeting when action was
taken

Appendicitis is of such common
occurrence that we have all lost friends
and acauaintances from that disease.
So closely has the surgeons knife be-
come identified with appendicitis that
people have been led to believe that
thereis no cure without an operation.
1t is strange that there should be
medicine for every silment under the
sun except appendicitis. Yet such
was the case until very recently, when
DR.. Conrad Adler of Berlin, Germany,
perfected a medicine for the preven-
tien and cure of this disease. Never
was there medicine introduced in
Germany that met with such univer-
sal appreciation as was this new dis
covery called DR.. Adler's Treatment
for Appendicitis. It's introduction
here in Amreica will no doubt meet
with the same deserved success. We
have secured the agency for this rem
edy for the state of Minnesota. A
large bottle of the treatment will be
sent by express prepaid for one dollar:

"REPUDIATION'S LATEST DIS
GUISE."
A goodly number of Mankato people
received yesterday sample copies of
The Bond Buyer, a weak financial
publication printed In New York,
which contained marked article un-
der the caption used in this article
that cannot be allowed to pass without
comment. We reproduce the The
Bond Buyers terrible expose" in
full and as follows:
The officials of Mankato, Minnesota,
a town of 10000 people by the last
census, evidently think that repudia-
tion of franchises is good way of
building up city. Already supplied
with an extensive gas and electric
light plant costing over 5000, OGO, they
propose to give it no chance for com
peting for the public lighting. but at
secret meeting of the council they
offered the lighting to a projected street
railway enterprise which proposes to
light the town for ten years, charging
about So, 0Q0 more per annum than the
old company and giving the city only
about rs per cent efficiency of the
present light.
The legal firm of Pfau & Pfau, of
Mankato, has brought injunction pro-
ceedings at the instance of John B.
Meagher of st Paul who represents
the eastern bondholders of the existing
company. As the interests back OF
Mr.. Meagher are determined to have
the opportunity of bidding on equa
terms with any outside company fo'
the municipal lighting, long ant
bitter fight is in store both for Manka
to and the local company. Whethel
the officials attempt to carry out theil
proposed contract with the street rail
road company or establish purely
municipal lighting plant, Mr.. Meaghel
will not abandon his proceedings tC

not believe that these small towns

will be total loss of credit in the i'm
mediate future.
The article reads very much as
though it was inspired by Interested
parties at "this end of the line who
are undoubtedly leaving no brick un-
thrown that will aid in defeating the
sale of bonds necessary to give this
city lighting plant and an electric
railway.
The article referred to is intended to
convey to men who have money to in
vest in securities that the action of
our city council is one of reputation;
that it did its work mysteriously secret
and in a manner dishonest and dis
honorable. Such an uncalled for and
wholly groundless indictment is a
serious reflection not alone upon the
men composing our city council but
equally 80 upon the great mass of
Mankauo citizens. The statements
made in The Bond Buyer-or some of
them at least-are glaringly errone-
GUS. For instance it says that the
present electric light and gas plant
cost over 5000, 600. 1t probably cost
the bond holders that sum, but it's
construction cost less than half the
amount. The statement that the con-
tract with the new company will cost
the city $5, 900 more for city lighting
per annum than the old company is
getting and that only about 70 per
cent of the present efficiency of lights
will be had is both misleading and
false. The price per arc light and
for incandescents is exactly the same
as that now paid by the city, while
on the point of efficiency the new
company agrees to give better lights
than the old company is furnishing.
The New York publication further
libels our city when its says that the
| lighting contract was made to the pro-
jected company at secret meeting OF
the council. The complete terms of
all matters connected with the pro-
jected electric railway and lightin
contract was published in all the city
papers, and whatever the council did
was fully and heartily endorsed by sc
per cent of the people who live here
and pay taxes. There is no repudia'
tion of franchise, in what the city hai
done, neither has the council acted
dishonorable in any particular, anC
the information furnished The BOND
BUYER is a gratuitous insult to a com
munity that does its business openly
and above board, pays its debts as il
contracts to, and denies the right o
any individual, corporation or concerr
to dictate it's form of municipal gov
ernment or to usurp its right to con
: tract with whomsoever it may pleas
for lights, or other necessary commod
,, ities D--s
Whatever the outcome may be be
tween city and the : :.Mankato 8 st
Peter Railway and ighting--company
there is no guess workssabout the in
stallation of lighting plant that vii
, sueercede the present company. In
circulation of such libelous stuff as
contained in the article copied fror
