ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE ON FILING Pc
Triton TO MORTGAGE LAND.

- Earth.-ss. In Probate Court
In the matter of the Estate of Andrew l..
Hustoft, deceased.
On reading and filing the petition of Peter
Ellingson, administrator of said es tate, setting
forth the amount of personal estate that has
come into his. hands, the. disposition thereof.
and how much remains undisposed of:

OF the tracts OF land OF said deceased which i

cense be to him granted to mortgage the tracts
of land so described,
And it appearing by said petition that the
personal estate of said Andrew L.. Hustoft de-
ceased is insufficient to pay his debts, with the
charges of administration and to pay any taxes.
assessments or other charges which are an
existing lien upon his estate or to pay for any
improvements which are necessary for the pre-
servation of his real estate or any part thereof
1t is therefore ordered, That all persons in.
on Saturday the 18th day of April A. D. 1902.
at 10 o'clock A. NJ. at the Probate Office in the
court house in Mankato in said County, then
license should not be granted to said administra

MUST REFUND TAX.
Two Thousand or More People Will
Receive Back the Dou Tax.

The law repeating the dog tax has
furnished the county officials with
plenty of work.
The law passed year ago provided
that a tax of 81 should be levied on all
male dogs and tax of IS on females.
The money collected was to be used in
paying for sheep destroyed by dogs,
and whatever was left was to 60 into
the county road and bridge fund.
Chapter 81 of the laws passed at the
special session repeats this law, rela-
ting in a preamble that the attorney
general holds it unconstitutional for
the reason that the tax is arbitrary
and unequal, and then goes on to pro-
vide that the taxes already collected
shall be returned to those who have
paid them, except in counties where
claims for damages for sheep destroy
ed have been filed. In such counties
the amount of the claims shall be de-
Quoted from the total amount collect
ed, and the remainder shall be return
ed pro rata to those who have paid.
The total dog tax paid in the county
is So, 1877. This means that the audi
tor will have to return the tax to more
than 2, 600 people.
The idea of the Legislature appears
to have been that it was unconstitu-
tional to levy an arbitrary tax of 81
unless the dogs of the county have
destroyed sheep to the value of 81 a
dog during the past year. In counties
where no sheep were destroyed the
constitution seems to prohibit the tax
altogether.
In this county it will cost $40 in
postage and keep several clerks EN-
ployed to send out the orders.

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER,

The following..market letter is fur
nished by Edwards, Wood & Co., grain
commission merchants, 8 Chamber of
Commerce. Minneapolis, 80 Board of
Trade, Duluth.
Mar. 19.-Minneapolis May and
July wheat closed today at 715sc and
72Bc respectively compared with 1890
and 741sc one week ago. Today May
wheat touched 711sc twice, which is
the lowest point for that option since
November 9Th, 1901. Wheat declined
steadily all of last week until on Fri
day on the good rains in the south
west On Friday, Saturday and Mon
day the cold wave stopped the decline
and caused an advance, the high point
being 1890, at which wheat sold Mon
day morning, since then wheat has
steadily declined its net decline today
amounting to one per cent. 1t is re-
markable the way the trade has ignor-
ed damage reports from the winter
wheat country. There is no question
that wheat was severely frozen during
the late cold wave and some of the
damage reports received today and
yesterday are as bad az any yet re-
ceived, but the weather map shows
much milder- weather everywhere with
rains promised in Kansas and other
winter wheat states and the trade sold
wheat paying no attention to damage
reports The news lis not by any
means sall bearish. Bradstreet's re-
ports show decrease in the world 8
visible supply of 81 million bushels
compared with decrease of 75O, 900
bushels for 1.-The same week last year.
Primary receipts continue very much
smaller than for the same period last
year, the difference amounting to over
half million bushels for three days
this..week. The domestic. visible sup
ply decreased 11s, 600 bushels. There
is an excellent demand for cash wheat
at Minneapolis, No. 1 -northern selling
at from to ~ cents per bushel over
the May option. Manitoba wheat has
advanced as compared with American
the difference at New York being
now ~ cents as compared with 9
cents. Wheat looks very soft today,
and it may go lower, but it has a
good break and we think a reaction
! is due.

OPTION SECURED
Stock Food Men May Take
Long Corner.
Factory to Be Moved to Mankato Next
Week..--Steps Taken to Increase
Business.

d. W. DeVaux and L. Wagner of
the World Stock Food Co. of Sleepy
Eye have spent the day in the city
looking for building that will be a
suitable location for their factory.
After looking over the few vacant
buildings in the city they decided
that the J. q. Long building at the
corner of Second and Walnut streets is
the best suited for their business, and
they secured an option on it's lease un-
til Saturday.
Both gentlemen were accompanied
by their wives, and part of their time
was devoted to house hunting. Mr..
DeVaux practically decided to take
one of A. C. Benefits houses. Houses
to rent are as scarce as vacant store
buildings.
The two gentlemen stated that they
desired to move their factory to Man
kato 80 as to begin operating here next
week, but they hardly thought, now,
that they would be able to do this.
They expect that the business will in
crease until fifteen or twenty men are
employed in the factory. At present
four men are employed and 10000
pounds of food is turned out daily and
shipped all over the country. Three
men are employed in the Office and
four on tho road
New Ulm tried to get this factory
and offered to donate nine months rent
of large vacant factory building and
to pay the expenses of moving.
The Merchants Protective association
will pay the expense of moving the
factory to Mankato, and will see that
$500 of stock of the company. is taken
in the city The stock has not yet
been placed, but the committee has
guaranteed it.
1t is rumored that the Messrs. Pay
have under consideration a proposition
to go in with this company in the
manufacture of stock food, and use
their present Livery barn for stock
purposes.

H. E. SWAN RESIGNS.
Will Take Up His Permanent Resi-
dence in California.

The announcement was given out
yesterday afternoon that 81. E. Swan
had resigned his position as cashier
Of the National Citizens bank, to
take effect April LIST. The resignation
was rendered to the directors at their
meeting on Monday, but has not yet
been acted upon. and they will proba-
bly, be in no haste to select successor
to Mr.. Swan.
Mr.. Swans resignation comes as a
surprise and will be accepted with
regret. He expects to depart for
southern California early in April,
where he has accepted the position of
cashier of the First National bank at
Ontario, on April 18th. This bank
will on that date succeed to the bust
ness of the Ontario State bank. The
new bank is strong one, with a capt.
tai stock of 500, 900.
Mr.. Swans relations with the Off
GERS and directors of the National
Citizens bank, official and personal,
have been of most congenial nature.
He began at the foot of the ladder
nearly twenty years ago and assembled
step By step through merit. He is a
son of the late j. B. Swan, and pos.
sesses the confidence of the entire
community. He was Influenced to his
determination to leave the bank and
Mankato by his interests at Ontario,
which increasingly demand his
presence there. He owns fine and
profitable ranch at Ontario, which il
also the home of his wife's parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. B. Tuttle, former resi-
dents of Mankato. Mrs. Swan and
daughter are obliged to spend the win
tiers in a warm climate, owing to the
latter's health. Taking everything in
to consideration, especially as the
desirable opening occurred in the On
tario bank, he concluded that it would
be the part of wisdom to take up his
residence at Ontario.
Ontario is thriving city in the Sar
Gabriel valley, in the heart Of one Of
the best fruit districts in the golden
state. 1t would be difficult to find 9
place excelling it in beauty or climate.
A number Of Mankato families are
located throughout the valley, which
includes such cities as Los Angeles
Riverside, Pasadena Pomona, ETC.
The best wishes of all will accompany
Mr.. Swan and family, although gen
eral regret will be felt at their per
manent departure.

EFFORTS HANDICAPPED
D. G. Robinson's Anti-van SAINT Cam
paiqn Touched Up.

The political writer of the. Mime
apolis Journal had the following to say
in last evenings issue regarding
Mankato mans efforts to down Van
SAINT:
The anti-Van SAINT campaign is still
confined to "bushwhacking," and
from present indications, will not get
beyond that stage. All efforts to get
out an opposition candidate have fail
ed, and it is predicted that the COVER
nor will be renominated by acclama-
ton. This does not mean that the OPP
position has quit. 1t is still quietly at
work, bat unless it has victory assur-
ed, its hand will never appear.
There has not been much active
work done since January, when D. G.
Robinson of Mankato toured the
southern counties. He went to size
up sentiment, and evidently he did
not get much encouragement. The
only results from his trip have been
some newspaper attacks on the COVER
nor, evidently as the result of inter
views between Mr.. Robinson and the
editorial management. For the most
part, Mr.. Robinson found himself in
an enemy's country. His efforts were
handicapped by the knowledge that
he was a defeated candidate for in
surance commissioner, and had a
grudge to work out. From all accounts
he did not travel on his own response,
bility. but had good backing.
Since the Robinson trip there has
been much activity. Work against
the governor will not cease until the
convention meets, but it is bound tt
be Ineffective

town, or are we to sink into a Grip
Van Wrinkle sleep2" It would be an
everlasting shame to Mankato, If we
failed to meet the very moderate re-
auirements to make this enterprise a
success. Shall we be content to accept
the gibes of our neighboring cities if
we fail in this and go into seclusion,
or shall we "brace up and be some
body3" This is the last opportunity
we will have. Do nhot look at the
slight "irst cost" Look at the future
returns. Do not let your enthusiasm
for Mankato "6zzle out when you
are asked to unloosen your purse

in the broad, liberal spirit it deserves.
If there are those among us whose
instincts are not of the Hliberal"
variety, then put it on purely selfish
basis and look to the future and the
benefits you will derive from this in
vestment. We owe something to the
