AN EARLY START.
Arrangements For Next Falls
Big Meeting.
Catholic Benevolent Societies of the
State to Bring 1000 to 5000
People to Mankato.

Geo. N. Gerlach of ST. Paul, super
intendent of buildings and meulber
of the board of school inspectors, was
in the city over Sunday. He is presi-
dent of the Catholic Benevolent society
of the state, and the object of his
visit was to confer with the officers
of the local society in regard to making
arrangements for the annual state con-
vention, which is to be held in Man
kato this year.
The date for the state convention is
Sept. 80 and 80 and Oct. 1, and
President Gerlcah estimates that there
will be an attendance of 1000 to s, 600
members from outside of the city. 1t
is expected to make this meeting the
largest ever held in the state. The
convention was held in Mankato about
a dozen years ago, and was big event,
but the meeting this year is expected
to eclipse it in every way.
The officers of the local society will
hold a meeting Wednesday night to
do the preliminary work, and the COM
mittees will be appointed at that time.
President Gerlach gave the officers
some valuable pointers in regard to
advertising the meeting, etc.

GREATER MANkAT0
North Side Residents Want to
Be Annexed.
Agitation Started Looking to Getting
North Mankato Detached From
NicoIIet County.

The people of North Mankato are
agitating annexation to Mankato.
There is talk of getting out a petition
to have the question placed on the
ballot at the village election March
18th to be voted upon, to secure an ex-
preston of opinion.
A we'll known resident of the north
side was making inquiries in this city
today ais to the proper steps to be taken
to bring about annexation. He said
that two thirds of the people of North
Mankato are in favor of making that
village a part of Mankato city. He
said that this would settle all their
troubles The most of the voters there
make their living in Mankato anyway,
and their interests lie with the city.
The question of annexation has been
agitated several times. Nicollet county
will have to give its consent to part
ing with some of it's territory, and an
act of the legislature may be required.
The people of Mankato have always
locked favorably upon the matter, but
have ceased agitating it since the time
when the population of the village was
no longer needed to swell the city's
population above the 10000 mark.
Probably no opposition would be offer
ed to taking the village under the
municipal wing, although the expen-
ditures for public improvements there
would probably exceed the tax receipts.
