A SUIT STARTED
Effort to Knock Out Lighting
Contract.
John B. Meagher Asks for an InjunC.
tion That Would Defeat the
Street Car Line.

Papers were served on Mayor Peter
sen, Recorder Williams and the alder
men. late Wednesday an action
brought bv John B. Meagher to secure
an injunction restraining the city
from carrying out a contract with the
Mankato and st. Peter Railway and
Lighting Co. to light the streets.
The ground alleged in the com
plant, upon which an Injunction is
sought, is that the city proposes to en-
ter into a contract whereby it will
pay an excessive price for lighting the
streets, in order to give bonus for a
street. railway. The contract is claim
ed tosbe bonus of 500, 900 a year in
another form.
@'T The case will come on for trial al
the June term, and upon the out.
come of the trial will depend the
granting of the injunction asked for.
Mr.. Meagher brings the suit as 8
''tax payer but it is understood that
he is heavy holder of stock of the
Mankato Gas and Electric Light Co.
which now has and for years has ha6
the street lighting contract. :
Pau & Pau are Mr.. Meagher's at
| torneys.
The city will probably fight thil
action strenuously, for if the lighting
contract should be knocked out i
would end Mankato's prospects for {
street railway line.
Some time ago, when there was tall
of an injunction, Judge Severance
looked up the law and thought ther,
was no ground for one.
The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1902-05-16

The committee collecting the sub
scriptions for the street railway stock
seems to be meeting with good sue
cess, and last night nearly one-half of
the $50, OOO- was in the banks. There
ought to be no difficulty in having it
all in before Saturday night. NO
one had refused to pay their subscrip-
ton and it is not probable that any
trouble in that line will be met with.
Every one is interested in securing
the line for the city and recognize
that il is only in the ful6llment of
their part that this is made possible.
Tonight ought to see the collections
near the $40, 900 mark, and it would
be most encouraging feature, if the
subscribers would respond so that they
would pass it. Every man should be
ready to meet the committee so as not
to necessitate a second visit as the
time is growing short in which to
close up the work.

HELP THE SUFFERERS.
Postmasters Authorized to Receipt
for all Contributions rendered.

President Roosevelt has appointed a
committee to receive funds for the re-
lief of the sufferers from the recent
catastrophe in Martinique and st.
Vincent and has directed that all
postmasters to act as agents for the
collection of contributions and to for
ward the same. In accordance with
this, Postmaster Hunt states that all
citizens of Mankato who desire to
contribute to this relief fund, will
have their offerings receipted for and
forwarded. Those wishing to make
contributions are requested to call at
the registery window in the P. O.
lobby.
The need for relief funds is great,
as the horrors of the disaster grow
greater every day as the details are
more fully learned, and thousands are
left destitute and suffering, not only
from want of clothing and food, but
in many instances from injuries re-
ceived as we'll.

typhoid fever and my strength was 80

never be sound, healthy man again.
My appetite was poor and my nerves

not help me at all.
"Things were going from bad to worse
when one day CHANGED to read a state
ment of man who had been cured Of
trouble similar to mine by the use of DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People. It
encouraged me to try them. By the
time had used the first box I felt de-
cided improvement and kept on taking
them until / had used six boxes. By
that time was restored to perfect health.
"I consider DIR. Williams Pink Pills
the best remedy made for troubles like
mine and am always glad to recommend
them"
The after-effects of fevers and other
acute diseases are frequently worse than
the ailment itself and the utmost care Ia
required during this stage in order that
permanent evils do not result. The sys-

the disease; the blood is impoverished
and the nerves weakened. Vitality u

the wasted tissues, the nerves need Q

as no other medicine will. They are an

improvements which seem sure to

The political writer on the Mime
spolis Journal who has been looking
over Duluth for the past few days,
says that it is stated that there is no
opposition in Duluth to Gov. Van
SAINT. There was a little soreness
over some of his appointments and
some did not like the extra session,
but this has all passed away, and the
governor is regarded as the strongest
candidate the Republicans could put
up. 1t seems to be case of jumping
on to the band wagon. By the time
the convention is held, every fellow
that mas ever held grudge against
our genial governor for any political
cause whatever, will be swearing
that the report of his opposition was
all mistake and that he has been for
Van SAINT all the time.

City Fathers Not Pleased With Con.
ditiOn of NicOIIet House

Aids. Heinze, Wilcox, Leonard and
Taylor inspected the Nicollet House
building on Front street Wednesday.
They were accompanied by W. L.
Hackney of St. Paul, one of the own
ers The building was found to be in
bad condition. It was built of native
lumber, which has sprung badly, and
the brick veneering is cracked and
threatens to collapse in places. The
aldermen did out think that the build
ing was worth making any repairs on it.
Several contractors are said to have
declared it to be in dangerous con-
dition. 1t is braced by iron rods.
The aldermen reported the matter
to the mayor, and some action will
probably be taken Friday night, look
ing to the tearing down of the build
ing.
Mr.. Hackney had the work of re-
papering the rooms cease until after
the council has taken some action on
the matter.
The building is three story brick
structure, but has not been used as a
hotel for some years..

Senator Bailey of Texas is being put
forward by the Democrats of his state,
as candidate for the presidency. This
is proper. 1t would seem to be strictly
in accordance with the correct mode
for the Democrats to take their presi-
Dental candidate from the section of
the COUNTRY that furnishes him the
votes. And at this late date after the

WILL MAKE BUTTER.

From Kansas City comes the infor-
nation that the big meat packers
propose to go into the manufacture of
butter as a result of the oleomargarine
law. 1t is said they are already max
ing preparations to go into its manu-
facture on an extensive scale.
They figure that with their enor-
NOUS capital, they can do bust
ness on large scale, and that while
they will be able to pay the farmer
more for his cream, they will also be
able to put the product on the market
at a lower price than is the case with
the smaller creameries. Undoubtedly
this is true, but will they2 If they
did it would be benefit both to the
producer and the consumer and be
carrying out in full the principle in
volved in the combining of capital in
large aggregations. But they GER
tsinly have not followed out this
principle in the handling of meat
products. While the farmer would be
quite likely to sell his cream where
he can get the most for it, still we be.
Iieve that with the creamery business
practically in his own hands as it il
at present, he will be loath to sur,
render it to others, especially if be
studies the situation a little. There
is no doubt but what the packers will
be able to get large amount Of
cream if they set out, and so exert
quite an influence in the matter Of
dairy products, but it does not looA
as though they would find it as easy
field to capture, as they have founo
that of meat products.
