The Contractors Weekly Bulletin,
published at Chicago and dated July
18th, contains the following in the
most conspicuous place in the paper
NOTES OF INTEREST.
Chicago contractors are commenting
unfsvorsbly upon the action of the
new Msnkato Electric Light & Rail-
way company in cancelling contract
with James q. Collins, for the con-
struction of an electric railway and
lighting plant in Mankato. MINI. 1t
appears that the company took UNI
bragg at Mr.. Collins because he hest
tated TO incur the expense of shipping
a construction plant to Mankato, until
he could be protected and secured by
the issuance of the construction bonds,
to be provided for his payment. 1t
seems that the company wished Mr..
Collins to go ahead with construction
regardless of the bond issue and thus
take chances on eventual payment
To this he demurred and the arbitrary
cancellation of his contract followed.
1t is rumored also that other and
stronger influences inspired the action
of the company, which is said to have
really resulted from an ingenious, and
now apparently successful, plan to
prevent the construction of a lighting
pant in Mankato this year. This plan
is said to have been conceived and
executed by people, acting in the in
terest of Chicago bond holders, to the
detriment of the people of Mankato

favorabIy on the Way Collins Was
Turned Down.

In view Of the fact that J. q. Col
Inns is still willing to proceed with
the construction Of street railway
and lighting plant in this city, the
following letter will be of interest.
Chicago. July 8, 1902. W. L.
Hixon, Mankato, Mimi. Dear Sir:
understand that your board of direc-
tors Of the Mankato-St. Peter Rail-
way and Lighting company have can
celled their contract with Mr.. Collins.
81 am sorry to hear of this action
by your board and also fear that
they are doing the wrong thing in
trying to cancel Mr.. Collins contract,
as far as am informed of the condi-
tions Of the contract between Mr..
Collins and the railway company, he
has complied with the conditions re-
Quired of him. I accompanied Mr..
Collins to Msnksto, as you well know,
for the purpose of taking the contract
for the grading. bridging, ties and
iron for the work. I was prepared to
tice, to begin work as soon as the
company would issue their securities
to warrant it. AS Mr.. Collins obligated
himself to me to carry on this work
made full investigation of the work
I was to do and arrangements were
made between Mr.. Collins and my
company to go ahead with my part of
the construction as soon as the COM |
pany would comply with their part of
the contract.
''If the directors of the company are
In good faith land want to get their
road built they should at once recon
slider their action and take the matter
up with Mr.. Collins In an honorable
way.
"Mr. Collins connections, believe,
enable him to be as strong as any
firm in this line of business, and as
able to carry out any deal he under
takes. Mr.. Collins reputation as a
fnancier in this line of business Is
unquestionsble. 1t is my opinion that
If your board Of directors do not let
Mr.. Collins continue his work you
will not get your road built as other
contractors or firms will
hardly consider the proposition after
the action taken by your board
Of directors concerning the Collins
contract.
1.-THE above is my personal opinion.
1 do not know. that Mr.. Collins would
continue the work. If he does I am
willing to go ahead with my part Of
the undertaking.
81 have just returned from Cleve-
land, Ohio. On my arrival at my
Office found a note from Collins in
me of the action taken by the
board of directors.
81 wish to thank you and your COL
leagues for courtesies extended to me
while at Mankato.
"Yours respectfully,
"W. D. POUND"

Up to today nothingh as been done
regarding the consolidation of the sew
eral general agencies in Mankato, and
from inquiries nothing has been
heard from the combine by the gen.
eral agents. 1t is predicted, however,
that the general agencies here will be
consolidated under one head. This is
a detail that will have to be worked
out. No doubt the consolidation will
result in the erection in Manksto of
q large structure to be used as head

Prevalency of Kidney Trouble.

SO prevalent and deceptive is kidney
trouble that it very often becomes well
advanced before it is even suspected,
therefore, it behooves all to be on the
lookout. Should you be i'll, or not feel
ing well, it would be wise to first pay
attention to the kidneys and ascertain if
they are the cause of your trouble. a
simple method of finding out If your kid
neys are at fault has often been called
to the attention of our readers through
DR.. Kilmcr's Swamp-Root advertising.in
the columns of this paper, and it is now
repeated for the benefit of those who
may be interested, viz: "Fill q bottle
with urine and set aside for twenty-four
hours or so, and if it shows a brick dust
sediment or cloudy appearance, or if the
urine is scanty or profuse, or if it is
found necessary to go often through the
day, or get up many times during the
night, you may be snre your kidneys
need attention.
After careful inquiry we find DR.. Kill

successful in the quick relief and cure of
the disease for which it is recommended.
There is hardly drug store in the land
that does net keep, and highly recon-

The Jeff Davis Monument.

The Keowee Courier is in receipt of
the following from the headquarters of
the South Carolina Division of the
United Confederate Veterans signed by
G. Irvine Walker, general in command,
and attested by James G. Holmes, chief
of staff:
/. The attention of the commands of
this division is earnestly invited to the
eloquent appeal in General Order No.
263, issued by our beloved commander,
General John b. Gordon. In this order
he asks the aid of every Confederate
veteran to assis the noble women of tie
Confederacy in the holy work they have
undertaken, of erecting monument to
our martyred chieftain, jefferson Davis
Words are not needed to stir in every
Confederate heart a full sense of his
individual, and our collective, duty to
pay this tribute to our leader, though the
cause for which he sacrificed o much is
the Lost Cause" His devoted widow
survives him, and she is looking to the
reunion with her husband, our chief
When she goes to join her husband on
the further shore let her be able to tell
him that his people, loyal to his memory,
appreciative of his matchess devotion to
their cause, have completed this tribute
to him, and through him, to the cause
we all loved and for which, with noble
manhood he suffered, even to the igno-
miny of having his feeble limbs shackled.
The monument to our leader, Jefferson
Davis, is also one to the cause he led. 1t
is a tribute not only to one great man.
but TO the thousands of heroes who gave
their lives, their all, for the noblest cause
that has ever nerved the strong arms of
patriots-who upheld it with such mag
nifcent devotion.
IL. Your division commander calls
attention to General Gordon's request
for each camp of the u. G. V. to yolun.
tarily contribute 81 for each member of
the camp. 1t is unfortunate that some
of our comrades cannot contribute this
81. To supply this let there be some
organized effort of the camp. Some
species of entertainment be devised by
which an amount could be raised to
enable each camp to contribute 81 for
each comrade of the camp.
III. All amounts contributed i'm South
Carolina should go through the lady who
has our State for her field work, that the
State may have full credit for the work
of her people. Contributions may be
sent to Mrs. Alice A. G. Palmer, Charles
ton, s. O., representing tho Confederate
Southern Memorial associations, com
posed of the noble band of women who
have since 1865 zealously cared for the
graves of our sacred dead, or to Mrs.
Augustine Y. Smytho, Charleston, IS. O.,
representing the Daughters of the Con-
federacy, an organization which is so
grandly working to perpetuate the gloii-
GUS memories OF our cause, to chronicle
the heroism of our fallen comrades.

TAKE NO SUBSTITUTE

The latest Indictment against the
trusts is brought by a New York
divine, who declares that they are
responsible for the decrease in the
number of marriages in this country,
since they have increased the cost of
living so as to make it impossible for
the average young man, working on
salary, to support a wife and
family. There is more truth than
poetry in this.
