NOTES FROM NEFF'S UNION.

While in Mankato last Thursday
Ben. Pay invited us into his candy
factory. 1t had slipped our mind that
Benz. had quit the livery business,
and so we accepted the invitation to
call and inspect the Pay & Son candy
factory, and called twice bat he was
not in. Ben. informed as that his
great grand father and his father were
candy makers, and his relatives were
g eatly surprised at his going into the
livery business many years ago. The
descendants of candy manufacturers
are like the offsprings of other trades
men and professionals, they will
naturally drift back into the business,
even if they say they won't. The
quality of the goods manufactured by
the Pay firm is excellent. Ben. left
with his stenographer sample box of
several varieties of their chocolate
goods, which she handed us on our
second visit to the place. and on in
spection we found the samples very
nice and sweet. MIR, Pay is one of the
old citizens of Mankato. and we are
glad to note he is prospecting.
Miss Lillian Grace Gardner and
DR. F. Eugene Vroomsn, of Ogilive
were married at the latter's home
near Lake Crystal yesterday afternoon.

Richard Williams received letter
a few days ago from Ed. Hamlin in
California. Among the other things
he mentioned is that George Rohi l.
son made 5000 off from $2. 600 ranch
this year. Also that S. T. Merrill has
rented his place and moved into
town. There was story in circula-
ton that Ed. and family talked, of re-
turning 10 Minnesota he says there
is no truth in this. The women folks
contemplate a visit to their old home
but not to stay any length of time.
All wish to be remembered to the old
friends here.
T. Reese and family have removed
to Mankato, where they will make
their future home. Mr.. Reese has
been a resident of this place for a
great number of years. H. was one
of Lake Crystal early business men,
and filled several important positions;
at one time he was on the board of |
county commissioners also served on !

sc hool board Oar citizens are sorry
to lose these people, but our loss is
Mankato's gain.

CONCENTRATION OF RAILROADS.
These are large figures.

These are large figures.
Between the end Of the fiscal year
and today, by the concentration of the
railroads of the country. nearly $54O, )
600, 600 Of stock has been withdrawn
from the market and replaced by
bonds. which have been absorbed by
the trust companies, Il anks sand con-
servatiye investors. During the same
time the stocks of other railroads have
been absorbed and gathered into few
hands with a view of retiring them
with bonds as the acquired systems
are merged into larger systems. The
capital stocks of those additional
roads aggregate $426. 3l5, $50 with
mileage of 9,02S as against mileage
Of z7,Sl5 for roads whose stock has
been completely retired. Before the
present fiscal year ends 1865. 400. 900 of
railroad stocks will be Withdrawn
from the market and in their place
new bonds will be issued. The COM
bined mileage which will in this way
be concentrated under the control of
half dozen men is 81, $50. There is
every indication that within few
years ell the railroads of the United
States will be controlled by five or
six men and operated by half dozen
powerful syndicates.

FROM OTHER SANCTUMS.


One New York antomobilist has
been sentenced 10 a years jmprisou-
ment by Connecticut jury for caus-
ing the death of man who was driv-
ing horse along the road. If it was
clearly the fault of the chauffeur there
could be no objection to the verdict,
but the evidence as reported in the
press shows that the sytomobilist
used due care, while the driver veered
to his left and contributed to the acct
dent. In another case an automobiles
has been adjndged deserving Of six
months imprisonment for collidipg
with street Car, causing an accident
in which several persons were in
jnred Automobiles as we'll as Pc
destrians and drivers of horses will
welcome the punishment of reckless
scorchers. but courts and juries should
not be swayed by prejudice in such
cases. The mere fact that there has
been an accident should not be taken
as proof conclusive that the chauffeur
is to blame. Minneapolis Times.

MET ON POHL ROAD.
Farmers anG County Commissioners
Confer on Its Improvement.

A meeting of the farmers interested
in the improvement of the Pohl road
was held yesterday afternoon at Frank
Pohl's farm, and County Commits
sioners Bruels, Borchert Paddock and
Epson We're present. The meeting was
largely attended, and was held at a
good time. as the recent rains have left
the road in very bad condition. It is
one of the most impossible roads in
the county, yet nothing has ever been
done to improve it bsyon scraping
the mud up in the center of the road
once or twice a year. A large section
of country uses this read, and it
ought to be improved in a permanent
manner.
Those present at the meeting were
all strongly in favor of improving the
road. The comm issioners were taken
along the entire length of the road.
They expressed themselves to the effect
that the road badly needs improving.
They will take the ma tier up at their
meeting next week, and hope that
the authorities of Markato township
Will cooperate with them.
