The committee on freight rates re-
ported progress, but asked for more
time, which was granted.
A committee was appointed to con-
fer with the Juvenile band to arrange
so that the band and association do
not meet on the same night.
The bylaws were amended, so as to
provide for two meetings a month in
stead of one, to be held on the second
and fourth Tuesdays of each month.
President Pond was authorized to
appoint a committee of ten to act in

Ben 7. Monson reported that the Re-

next year in Mankato. He said that
it would bring 500 business men and
their families and others to the city,
and that the Merchants Protective
association should give them cordial
welcome and carriage ride around
the city. There would be no hat pass
ed around for money, unless among
those specially interested. All that
was asked was that the city and the
merchants in particular give the visit
ors a hearty welcome.

WANTS AN ACCOUNTING.
A Son Brings Suit Against His Par
ents For a Large Sum.

The case of VIM. j. Smith VS.. James,
Ellen and Fannie NJ. Smith was tried
before Judge Cray Tuesday, and trial
will probably occupy another day.
w. L. Comstock and Judge Buck are
the plaintiffs attorneys, and W. r.
Geddes and Pau & Pau represent
the defendants. The plaintiff sues to
recover 81, 800 for services and expenses
in conducting his fathers farm for
period of years, and the action is
really one to secure an accounting
He alleges that his parents agreed to
give him the eighty acre farm in
Jamestown in case he would conduct
it and support them during the re-
mainder of their lives. He entered
upon the performance OF this agree
ment in 1892, and built new house.
When it got reported that he was about
to get married, trouble arose between
him and his parents, and the latter
decided the farm to their daughter,
Fannie, for an alleged consideration
of 81, 900.
The plaintiff seeks to have his sister
restrained from selling the place and
to have his claim allowed and made
a prior lien on the property to his
sisters deed. The plaintiff was ON
the witness stand the greater part of
the day. ~a..
The defendants deny most OF the
allegations in the complaint.

PAVING FAVORED
Many Broad Street Residents
.-. ..~~ Want 1t. 80 .
Board of Public Works Will Recon-
mend that BouIevards be
Added to Park System.

While some of the property owners
on Broad street are opposed to paving
that street, others are heartily in
favor of it and have 80 informed mem
bers of the street committee. Some
of these property owners also favor
turning the boulevards over to the
park superintendent, who shall have
general supervision of them, plant
all trees and keep the grass moved.
This would secure uniformity and
make most beautiful street. The board
of public works will probably couple
a recommendation of this kind to its
report on the Broad street paving mat
ter, and it ought to be adopted by the
council. Broad street can be made
one of the most beautiful streets in
the state, and it will be if the alder
men maintain their present attitude.
John B. Meagher of st. Paul was
in the city Tuesday on his way west,
and stated that asphalt is the best
paving for Mankato to adopt if it
wants a good, handsome durable, pave
ment, with smooth surface. In the
cities holes are chopped into the pave
ment for conduits and connections,
and the repair wagon comes and makes
such perfect repairs that person
would not know that the pavement
had been opened.

THE IRVING CORNER.
Standard Brewing Co. Said to Be
coYetinG 1t. -

There is a rumor that the Standard
Brewing Co. is endeavoring to get hold
of VIM. Irving's corner, at Front and
Jackson streets Inquiry of the officers
of the company Tuesday did not
bring out much information. 1t ap-
pears that negotiations have been in
progress, but that as yet the property
has Lot changed hands.
1t is understood that in case the
Standard Brewing Co. should acquire
this property it would improve it, and
use it for purposes connected with the
brewery. Plans formulated some time
ago contemplated making part of the
building two stories high. There is
no doubt but that the company would
improve the property in a permanent
and attractive manner.
With the new union depot of the
Milwaukee and Great Western roads
loca ted at the foot of Jackson street,
the Irving corner would be very de-
sirable location for the brewing COM
pany.

TALK OVER LIGHTS
Merchants Again Declare For
a City Plant.
Electric Railway and Other Matters
Considered Last Night.---Meeting
Every Two Weeks.

The Merchants Protective associa-
tion held meeting Tuesday and de-
voted good deal of time to the con-
sideration of the lighting question.
The committee on lighting made a
report favorable to municipal lighting.
Among the points discussed was
the one that no private corporation
could compete with municipality in
the matter of lighting, for number
of reasons, one being that a municipal
plant is free from taxation, while
private company has to pay taxes on
all of it's property. 1t was claimed
that the same power could be used to
operate the pump in the day time and
the lighting plant at night, but in the
case of Mankato the pump goes day
and night.
Letters from number of cities and
towns were received, where good
light is furnished by municipal plants
and the charges to consumers are con-
siderably less than private companies
in other places charge, and the expense
of street lighting is about half what
private companies charge for poorer
service. The report of the committee
was accepted and the committee con-
tinued.
! In the discussion that followed, the
feeling was expressed that the city
is taking step forward in growth
and prosperity, and that the lighting
problem should be solved at once.
! The question was raised as to how
the city can get the money to build
plant, but some of the speakers
thought that way would be found to
secure the money.
| It was stated that the money paid
! to the local company by private con-
sumers is more than ten times the
amount paid by the city for street
! lighting.
The following resolution was adopt
ed:
"Resolved, That it is the sense OF
this association that the city of Man
kato install municipal lighting plant
at once with sufficient power to fur
nish good light for the streets and
public buildings and for commercial
! lighting, and that the profits of com
| mercial lighting be used to pay the
cost of the plant and the expenses OF
operation as rapidly as consistent with
reasonable charges to the patrons.
The vote was taken by calling the
roll and resulted, in favor of the reso'
luton sixty one, against the resolution
none, one man present not voting
The discussion drifted upon the sub
iect of an electric street railway, and II
was suggested andgenerally agreed upon
that such a road would be worth CIV
ing lighting contract to at pretty
fair figure in order to secure. 1t was
thought that an electric railway should
connect with other towns, to bring IN

W. A. Funk Wants Specific Perfor-

The case of W. A. Funk against

company was tried before Judge Otis
in the district court at st. Paul Tues
day. The plaintiff asks for specific per-
Torrance of an alleged contract to sell
10, 600 acres of Aitkin county land, or
in lieu of that, he asks 1874, 900 alleged
damages. Mr.. Funk alleges that there
was a contract between himself and
the defendants whereby he was to pur-
chase the land in Aitkin county. The
company denies his claim, and has
sold the land to others.

new DEPOT LOCATED,
1t Will Be at the Foot of Jackson
Street,

Division Superintendent Defoe of
the Chicago Great Western road was
in Mankato Tuesday afternoon look
ing over the company's property. AS
result of his visit it was definitely
decided where the union depot of the
g. q. W. and Milwaukee roads will
be located.
The Free Press learns that the site
decided upon is at the foot of jackson
street, where J. H. Michel's barn
and residence formerly stood. A hand
some depot will be erected there.
Just where the Milwaukee freight
house will be located is not known,
but it is said that it will be moved.
The G. q. w. road will also locate
its freight house in the vicinity of the
new union depot, but just where is
not known.
The location chosen for the passen-
ger depot could hardly be more central
and will give general satisfaction.
