WANT MORE TIME.
Owners of Street Car Offices Willing
tn Move Them

TO Move mem.
Geo. Atchison and W. r. Hammett,
who have their offices in former street
cars. that have been ordered removed
from the fire limits by Wednesday after
noon, are perfectly willing to move
them in compliance viii the councils
action. They do not want to be
hurried, however If given a reason
able time, they expect to find Office
rooms that will be suitable and con-
veniently located.
Both gentlemen have been looking
about for some time for other loca-
tions, but thus far have failed to find
any satisfactory places.
Whether the police will undertake
to move the street cars at the expira-
tion of the forty eight hours allowed
by the council remains to be seen.
Some Of the business men are oppos-
ed to the leaving of the street cars on
Front street, and it was they whom
Jay Henry Long represented at the
council meeting Monday afternoon.
Mayor Petersen expressed the feel
in of a good many business men, when
he said at the council meeting Mon
day that in most cities there are
streets designated where drays and
hacks shall have their headquarters,
and that this ought to be done in
Mankato. They ought not to be allow
ed to congregate in front of business
houses, he said, as that was not the
proper place for them. Some side
street, centrally located, should be
selected for their headquarters.

A RUG FACTORY
Chance to Get One Located in
MankatO.
Proprietor of the Faribauit Factory
Visits the City and Makes an
Offer.

Wendell P. Dish of Faribault, prin-
cipal proprietor of the Faribault Rug
Co., was in Mankato Tuesday, and con-
ferred with several of our citizens in
regard to starting similar factory
in Msnkato, only on larger scale.
Mr. Dish started a factory at Hast
ings, and last November he started
one at Faribault, A month after it
was started, it burned to the ground
through defective stovepipe. It was
started up again, and now employs
twenty-three hands, besides seven men
on the road. 1t is unable to keep up
with the orders on the day shift, and
beginning Monday the factory will
run day and night, with two crews
of employees. Mr.. Dish states that
there is plenty of business for large
factory in Mankato. What he wants
is suitable building to rent. He
prefers a large one story building
with sky lights, but a two story
building would do. He will probably
ask for no local aid, if a suitable
building can be secured at not too
high rental.
The business of the factory is to
take old carpets and make them into
rugs. Landlord Snyder and other
residents of the city have had this
work done, and the rugs are Of high
grade and speak for themselves. The
men on the road go out over this and
adjoining states. The cost Of the
machinery for factory is about
So, 900, and it can be installed in a
very short time.
Mr.. Dish states that a factory in
Mankato could work into carpet weav-
ing, as he understands how to make
Brussels ingram and kinds of carpets.
He has an expert carpet maker on
his way from Holland now. In time,
large and important industry could
be built up.
Mr. Dish had a talk with J. B.
Richards, secretary of the Merchants
! Protective association, this afternoon,
and desired that the matter be brought
before the association at its meeting
tonight, in order that it may take
steps to find him suitable location
When one is found, he will come to
Mankato again. He did not have
time to remain over to the meeting
tonight.
Mr.. Dish seems to be hustler, and
would make a valuable addition to
the city if he can be persuaded to
locate here. Such factory as he pro-
poses would add to our commercial in
terests, as the receipts would practi-
caIly all come from outside of the city
and would be expended mainly for
labor.

KITCHENER STILL SILENT

British Commander Has Sent No
Word of the Negotiations-War
Secretary Announces in House of
Commons That SchaIkburger Had
Asked Permission to See Steyn
Regarding Peace Proposals.
London, March 25.-The Daily
Chronicle asserts that an armistice
has been arranged pending the dura-
ton of Schalkburger's mission to Gen
eral Dewet and that offensive opera
lions against Dewet, Delarey and
Botha will be suspended. The three
generals have agreed to observe the
armistice honorably until the return
of the ENJOYS to the Boer lines.
1t is believed, continues The Daily
Chronicle, that the ENJOYS, after &C,
quainting Botha with the result OF
their mission, will again confer with
Lord Kitchener, although no arrange
ment for the second conference has
actually been made.
In his dispatch from Pretoria Lord
Kitchener gives his weekly total OF
captures, etc, but does not mention
the Schalkburger incident.
The Associated Press has good rea
son to believe that Lord Kitchener in
his interview with Schalkburgel
agreed to withdraw the Punishment
proclamation issued in September, il
General DeWet and the other BOel
leaders surrendered.
In the house of commons the wal
secretary, Mr.. BrOderick, announced
that a fortnight ago Mr. Schalkbur
ger intimated to Lord Kitchener his
desire to be granted a safe conduct
through the British lines and back
in order to see Mr.. Steyn with refer
ence to the possibility of peace pro

RIVER CHANGED ITS COURSE.
Suit Over Forty Acres of Valuable
Land Decided.


Kansas City, March 25.-In a suit
for the possession Of 40 acres of accre-
alton land, lying south of the Missouri
river in Kansas City, Kan, valued at
100000, S. K. Howe, an old fisherman,
was given a verdict against the Ar
mour Packing company and the Chi
cago Great Western Railway company
Many years ago Howe located on an
island in the Missouri river, just oppo-
site the Armour packing plant. In 1894
the Missouri river changed it's course
and the land, which was originally an
island, became part of the main
land. AS an island, the property was
practically worthless, but when it be-
came part of the mainland it adjoined
the land of the Armour Packing COM
pany and it's value was great. The
accreations became greater, and the
trestle over which the Chicago Great
Western enters Kansas City was built
on a part of the new land. In 1895 the
Armour Packing company brought pro-
ceedings to eject Howe, who insisted
that the property was his by settlers
right. The case was brought originally
in a justice court, where Howe was
given a decision. The supreme court
remanded the case back to the dis,
trict court upon showing that the
original proceedings had not been be-
gun in the proper way.

EMPEROR WILLIAM DISCOVERS
American Buckwheat Cakes aud Sends His
Chef to Learn to Make This Delicious
Breakfast Dish

From the New York Herald
That good old American buckwheat
cakes, with maple syrup, can tickle
an Imperial palate is the latest discov-
cry made by William II, of Germany,
The Emperor learned the appetizing
qualities of American cookery during
a visit to the new Hamburg American
yacht Princess Victoria Louise, for
the occasion, the noted chef of the
crack steamer Deutschland, Herr
Farhenheim, had been transferred.
An American breakfast was prepar-
ed for the emperor, which he liked so
we'll that he stayed for another. His
Majesty especially praised the buck
wheat cakes, which he declared had
proven extremely pslatable, and finally
sent his own chef to the Deutschland,
where he took a two days course in
American cookery, during which
and Deutschland chef says, he was
taught how to make American buck
wheat cakes and other typical Amer
lean dishes.
The American buckwheat cake as
served on the Deutschland, and which
is to be hereafter a part of Emperor
Williams menu, is made in the fol-
lowing manner: Two cups of buck
wheat, one cup of wheat -four, two
tablespoons of Royal baking powder,
one half teaspoonful of salt, all sifted

VERDICT OF $4,000.
p. r. McLaurin Wins Suit Against
the Cuba Company.

New York, March 25.-Peter F. Nc
Laurin of Mount Vernon, n. Y, in the
supreme court of Westchester county,
obtained verdict of $4,000 against
the Cuba company. The corporation
has capital of $S,000,0O0. The stock
is said to be wholly held by William Q.
Whitney, Oliver Hartman, ]. P. Nor
gan, Levi P. Morton and Sir William
Van Horne of Montreal.
McLaurin's stroy was that the COM
pany, through Sir William Van Horne,
had engaged him to further it's bust
ness in Cuba and for his services he
was to receive the sum of $4,000 a
year and one share of stock in the com
pany. When he had finished his work
the company discharged him, paying
him what salary was due, but did not
heed his demand for the share Of
stock.
To save the appearance in court OF
the various stockholders in the COM
pany it was admitted by them that the
share of stock in dispute was worth
$4,000.
