ENCAMPMENT SEASON.
The Militia Company will go to Lake
City in June.

The encampment season will open at
Lake City on June 9 when the Third
regiment, Colonel G. A. Van Duzee
commanding, will bivouac and break
on the 18th. The Second regisment,
Colonel Joseph Bobleter commanding,
will assemble on June 10 and break
on June 90. There will then be a lapse
until July when the First regiment,
Colonel Charles McC. Reeve command
ing, and the First battalion of artil-
lery, Major George @. Lambert COM
manding, will enter camp and remain
until July 16, when the season will
end.
The scheme for holding the annual
inspection at camp this year instead
of at the armories will compel a larger
attendance than in the past. 1t is
necessary for a company to have
present for inspection at least the
minimum strength, which is forty
six officers and men, or show reason
why it should not be mustered out.
Each man present at annual inspec,
ton is credited with $12, in addition
to his camp pay, and each man draw
ing inspection money must have been
in camp at least five days. This is
proviso that the officers never had to
contend with before, and it will narur
ally cause them. to use every .E infiuenCe
possible to get the men to attend
camp. There will be no printed pro,
gram of inspection this year, and each
officer will be judged solely on hi

NOT SATISFIED.
Merchants Committee Want Rail-
way Ordinance Amended.

Editor Free Press am very sorry
to be obliged to state it but the Elec-
trio Railway Company's proposed
amended acceptance to the city fran
chise will not fill the bill in any event
and has no force and effect whatever
as a matter of law. The franchise
is an ordinance and as such is law
and any statement or construction that
the Mankato and ST. Peter Railway
and Lighting Company may put upon
it, even if it was fled with the clerk
of the supreme court, would not
amend this ordinance. The franchise
can only be amended by another ordi-
ance by the body that passed it,
namely the common council, and the
only power to interpret or construe
it's provisions is the court of the state !;
and even if this conditional accept
ance, which is printed in your paper
of last evening. has any force and
effect it only says that the franchise
shall not be construed as requiring
the city to contract with the same
company for the second ten years, or
as preventing the city after ten years
from establishing a plant of its own,
and still there remains that ordinance
and law which prohibits any other
such company from doing business in
the city and there would therefore be
no other company to contract with !;
and the ordinance remains in effect
prohibiting the city from establishing
a plant of it's own, and if this COM
pany has contracted not to object any
other tax payer could object and it
would be reasonably easy to find one
to make an objection and still there
remains on record the franchise pro-
hibiting any other company from es-
tablishing heating plants and this
business is going to be quite feature
in all cities in the next ten and
twenty years ;and still remains thereon
the record the law prohibiting any
other long distance electric line from
coming into the city and st. Peter and
Lake Crystal will get all such roads
as are built through this territory in
the next twenty years. I presume
Mr.. Clark advised the directors at
their meeting that this amended &C
ceptance would fill the bill and the
rest of the board are therefore inne-
cent in the matter, and If any one
thought that such suggestion would
lobviate the necessity of meeting OF
the council tonight and positive &C.
tion upon the suggestion he is mis-
taken.
| It is probably true that this fran
chise cannot be amended without the
company's consent, but the public Ii
going to uphold City Recorder Will
liams in refusing to sign the lighting
contract until the public is Satisfied
that their rights are protected.
Let the railroad authorities b.
present at the meeting tonight ani
let this matter be discussed fully ''ant
fairly, and let them honestly consen
to the few amendments which ar
3 absolutely necessary and this agitation
will then cease. No capitalists will
? ever put their money in this roat
when 80 large majority of the peopl
are opposed to existing conditions o
