MRS. BARNARD DEAD.
Follows Her Mother Soon After the
Latter's Death.

Mrs. Emma Barnard died at her
home on South Broad street at two
q. m. Friday of complication
of diseases. She had been ill for sew
eral weeks, but her case did not take
on serious aspect until after the re-
cent death of her mother, the late Mrs.
q. Paddock. Specialists were then
secured from the cities, and every
thing possible was done for the
sufferer. ..
Mrs, Barnard was forty-six years Of
age and leaves one daughter. Miss
Eva, and two brothers, Attorney Harry
Paddock of this city, and F. s. Pad
dock of Cortez, Nevada. Her husband,
who died some years ago, was engaged
in business at Vernon Center during
the latter period of his life. Since his
death, Mrs. Barnard had resided in
Mankato, in a home which she erected
next to her brothers.
The deceased was highly respected,
and her death causes general sorrow.
Following so closely after that of her
mother, tits doubly sad for members
of the family.
The funeral will occur from the
house at two o'clock Sunday after,
noon. ..... >.@e
Mrs. Barnard was an active member
of the Eastern Star.

CLAIMS HIS INNOCENCE.
Lake Crystal Man Brought to Mankato
For Trial.

Elmer Fowler was arrested Thurs
day at Lake Crystal on the charge Of

joining property. Near Clark street on
the westerly side there will be a fill
for some distance, causing damage to
adjoining property. and the street as
proposed will have an undesirable
angle in it, as shown by the accom-
panying profile. The cost of grading
and damages to be awarded to make
this apassable street will be somewhat
burdensome upon the property to be
assessed, and may result in litigation.
We are of the opinion that street
more desirable to the public, less ex-
pensive to lay out, grade and main
tain, and with less damages to be
awarded, and less expensive in the mat
ter of water mains and sewerage
may be opened, and made an outlet to
property in that vicinity. From these
facts we are unable to report the pro-
posed improvement necessary and pro-
per, but would recommend investiga-
ton as to the facts herein set forth,
and further consider the matter before
passing upon this report. We herewith
send plan of said Improvement and
an order for your adoption, if you
desire us to make the improvement.

The matter was laid over until the
next meeting to give the aldermen
time to look into the matter.

WILL BE IMPROVED
Then the Tax Bill Will Be
Enacted.
Senator Benedict Will Try to Secure
Favorable Legislation for the
Normal School.

Senator Benedict returned this fore
noon from st. Paul, the legislature
having taken a recess until Monday.
He expresses the belief that some kind
of tax bill will be passed, but not
until some of the obnoxious features of
the tax commissions bill have been,
eliminated. Among other changes, he
believes that the 800 exemption will,
be restored. The labor organizations
are demanding this.
Senator Benedict believes that the
session will continue three weeks
longer. There are a good many con-
fiicting interests at work, and senti-
ment has not crystalized very strongly
yet in the legislature.
1t is Senator Benedict's intention.
to introduce bill allowing the money
appropriated at the last session for Ii
brsry and school purposes at the Man
kato normal school to be used in build
ing heating plant. An appropriation
was made for heating plant, but the
bids were too high, and the board of
control ruled that money appropriated
for other purposes could not be used
for this. Senator Benedict believes
that he can secure the passage of a
measure that will result in making
$15. 900 or SIG, 900 available for heat
ing plant, so that it can be construct
ed during the present year. This
would be great advantage to the
school, and the next legislature would
no doubt make an appropriation for
additions to the library and for other
purposes.
Senator Benedict is considering the
advissbility of introducing a bill to
take the state normal schools out from
under the state board of control and
restore them to their former status,
thus making the state normal board
independent. He has consulted some
of the members who are interested,
but wants to seek the views Of others
who would be interested in such bill.

DEATH OF C. E. WARNER.
1t Occurred Yesterday Forenoon at
Billings, Mont.

Mrs. G. F. Warner received a tele-
gram late Sunday afternoon from
her husband, sent from Billings,
Mont, saying that their SON, Clayton
E., had died at 10 30 a. m. and that
he would leave Sunday night for Man
kato with the remains. He is expected
to arrive in Manksto at one o'clock to-
morrow afternoon, and until then no
arrangements will be made for the
funeral.
Some two or three months ago, Mr..
Warner submitted to an operation at
Billings, and had not fully recovered
from this. He was suffering from a
dilated artery. Whether he lived until
the arrival of his father is not known
The deceased was forty-four years of
age, and was single man. He was
born at Nunda, NY, and came TO
Mankato when he was about fourteen
wears of age. Twenty years ago he
went to Montana and engaged in the
cattle business for time He was en-
gagged in the drug business at Billings
for several years, the firm name being
Warner & Iceberg. He disposed of his
interest in the business some time ago,
and at the time of his death was city
marshal of Billings
The deceased was the only son of
DR.. and Mrs. c. F. Warner and had a
large number of friends in this city
as we'll as elsewhere. He was of an
even tempered, qniet disposition, and
won friends wherever he was. His
death causes sincere sorrow, and the
parents and sister will have the sym
dathy of all in their sudden and sad
bereavement.

Ordinance Violated.

Aid. Heinze said that building is
being constructed on North Front
street contrary to the fire limits ordi-
nance. Permits are sometimes granted
and the rules printed on the back are
not carried out. Wooden instead of
iron columns are being used in the
front of this building. He thought that
the ordinance ought to be enforced.
City Attorney Daley said that the
city had not been very successful in
prosecutions of this kind. The police
should see that the ordinance is en-
forced by arresting violators on the
spot, but they do not like to do this.
City Engineer Thompson favored
enforcing the ordinance on all persons
alike or else repeal it. Some conform
to the ordinance and others do not.
It was stated that the council had
granted citizen the right to build a
brick veneered residence within the
fire limits.
The board of public works was
authorized to purchase two carloads of
cast iron water pipe.
The bills were allowed, including
$50 to Anna G. Throdahl for extra
work in the treasurer's Office on the
special assessments two notes amount
ing to 5000 two certificates amounting
to $112. So; and street pay roll $156. 80,
waterworks repairs $44 80 and parks
1914 rs.
On motion of Aid. Heinze, the city
treasurer and city recorder were auth
orized to borrow $4,000 from the
waterworks fund and place it in the
current fund.
The council adjourned.
