DIED.-On the Doth inst. Mr..
Raymond McKenney from injuries
received in q gin about two
months ago. He suffered ex-
cruciating pain without a muir
mur and expressed a perfect will
lngness TO meet death. He spoke
so cheerfully Of death to his heart
broken mother and told her to look
on the bright side of death, as he
did. His remains we're inferred at
Union Grove Cemetery. We ex-
tend our sincere sympathy to the
lonely companion and bereaved
friends and relatives.
At the last meeting of the High
School Literary Society the fol-
lowing officers were elected: J.
Cliff Dyson, president; Lillian
Garrett, vice-president, and Mia
Henderson,, secretary.
Owing to the inclemency of the
weather, the society did not meet
as was intended on last Friday,
put VIII meet next Friday.
On account of the rainy weather
during the past week the school
has not been as large as usual.
The school is in hourishing con-
dition under the management Of
Prof J J. Greer and Miss Truth
Cousins. There are about $50 pu-
pills. enrolled.
Our principal had to go to the
Gate City last Saturday to pur-
chase some furniture for the
boarder that has recently stopped
with him for perhaps Is or 2
years.
Mr.. John Yale and grand
daughter, Miss .Soule, have re-
turned to their home near Mari
eta, after having been with us
several months. We regret to give
them up, but one of Marietta's
young men will be very much de-
lighted, as his Sunday rides will
be shortened about 20 miles. And
if his horse could express his
thoughts it would not be apt to
object very seriously.
The planning mill is without a
superintendent since the death of
Mr.. Weaver. Some one will be
employed to take his place at an
early date.
There are several boarders in our
village at present. We find that
the wonderful mineral quail
tiles of the different springs are
known throughout the country.
With the numerous mineral
springs, excellent public schools,
ample railroad accommodations,
the successful sanitarium and the
bright prospect of an extensive
iron foundry locating here, there
is no reason why Austell may not
be one of the leading towns of the
state in the near future.
We are glad to learn that DR.. f.

Judge Severance Speaks.

Judge Severance appeared for the
signers of the remonstrance and spoke
at some length. He said that the re-
included more. than eight
tenths of the property owners on Broad
street. He was present only for fair
play and justice. He first took up the
legal side of the question and read
tie charter provisions which give the
council power to make improvements.
The common council can by two
thirds vote, when the public necessity
requires it, order an improvement
without a petition from the property
owners. The speaker held that beauti-
flying the street is not public neces-
sity. Can anybody say that the public
necessity requires that Broad street be
paved2.. Broad street is the best and
most passable street in Mankato.
Another reason why the improvement
should not be ordered is because the
charter is not suficiently--liberal to the
property owners. The charter requires
that judgments must be taken where
TIE assessments are not paid. The
officials must proceed at once to make
the collections, or the assessments can
not be collected at all, Under judg-
ment, twelve per cent interest is
charged, which is morally usurious
and is an outrageous burden. Such
improvements should not be made un-
til the city has another charter. II
has been said by petulant persons that
those who are unable to pay their
assessments can sell out and move
away 1t is hard to be poor, but to be
twitted of it by others equally poor is
doubly hard. The demonstrators
present applauded several times during
the speakers remarks.
Rising again, Judge Severance said
that the assessment provision of the
charter contains an elipsis and means
nothing, as it does not say upon whom
or what the paving assessments should
be made.
The remonstrance was accepted and
placed on file, and the subject was
dropped until later in the evening.

Board Reports Favorably.

Under the head of reports of officers,
the board of public works presented
it's report in favor of the paving of
Broad street with asphalt from Lincoln
to Vine streets, the driveway to be
thirty feet wide, with curbing, gut
tering and boulevarding. The total
cost is estimated at $53, 3S4. The
board also reported:
tThe board would further recon-
mend and advise that provided this i'm
provement shall be made that the
boulevards on both sides for the whole
length of the improvement shall be
placed in charge and care of the park
commissioner, who shall at all times
keep the same properly moved and in
clean and neat condition. That the
said park commissioner shall at the
earliest time convenient with such
work plant trees of uniform growth in
the boulevards for the whole length
of said Improvement, the same to be
planted half way between the outer

PAVING ORDERED
Only One Negative Vote in the
Council.
Board of Public Works Will Secure
Bids.---0bjectors Present Their
Rem0nStranCe.

Another long step toward the paving
of Broad street with asphalt was taken
by the council Friday. The report
of the board Of public works favoring
the improvement was received and
adopted, and the paving was ordered
and the board directed to secure bids
and award the contract. Ali that re-
mains for the council - TO do now is to
approve the award OF the contract,
which will undoubtedly be done if the
bids are reasonable.
The following remonstrance against
the paving of the street was presented
early in the evening, signed by eighty
five Of the property owners:
"The undersigned property owners
on Broad street in the city of Mankato
respectively protest against any action
on the part of the authorities author
izing the paving of said street with
asphalt:
"First, because such pavement is
too expensive and would amount to a
confscation of some of the property
on said street;
"Second, because said street can be
made good street for the purpose for
which it is used with material which
is at hand in abundance
Third, because the taxes upon pro-
perty in the city of Mankato are so
high now as to be serious burden on
property owners;
"Fourth, because the energies of this
lcity had better first be directed to
bringing some enterprises here that
will employ labor and give the city
some substantial basis for thrift and
growth:
Fifth, because the great majority
of the property owners on Broad street
do not want any asphalt pavements
"Sixth, because the wishes of few
who are able to pay their proportion
of the expense of an asphalt pavement
should not override the wishes of the
great number who are not able to pay
such expense;
Seventh, because few who have
material to sell but own no property
in Mankato should not be allowed tt
dictate the policy of this city;
i Eighth, because there is now NJ
law permitting the owners of property
in this city to pay for local improve

LASTLY, your petitioners earnestly
protest against any Improvement O.

property is to be effected. -

men retired to consult with the city

THE COURT AND THE MERGER.

The Minneapolis Journal says that
according to the full text of the decision
of the supreme court in the matter of
the state of Minnesota against the
Northern Securities company, the
state of Minnesota is barred entirely
from taking any action against the
Northern Securities company, either
in federal or state courts. 1t is barred
in state courts because the court holds
that the Northern Securities company
is not within their jurisdiction.
Action is denied in the federal courts
on the ground that the Great Northern
Pacific companies are necessary parties
to the suit, and that their stockholders
must be represented in order to do
Justice. But should they be brought
into the case, it would not be a proper
case for the supreme court to consider.
The majority stockholders of these
roads are represented by the Northern
Securities company, but the court had
not the minority stockholders must al
so be protected and that to do this the
Northern Pacific and Great Northern
roads must be brought into the action.
The court also questions whether the
attorney general, the governor or even
the legislature can be conclusively
deemed to represent the public in
terests in such controversy, but it
makes no suggestion as to who can
conclusively represent the state. The
situation can only be changed and
cleared up by an act of congress which
will confer jurisdiction upon the fed
eral court in such cases.
While the decision probably stops
Gov. Van SAINT and Attorney General
Douglas from any further move, their
work thus far has been we'll done.
They have called public attention to
the matter. which has resulted in
President Roosevelt ordering action
taken against the merger under the
Sherman law. 1t is also probable
that the decision of the court will
result in congress taking action which
will confer jurisdiction upon the federal
courts In such cases. If Gov. Van SAINT
is unable by the finding of the court
to do more, he has already performed 6
great public service in calling public
attention to the needs of strict enforce
ment of existing laws. And in this h
is being ably seconded by the presi
dent.
