SATCHEL STOLEN.
1t Is Subsequently Recovered Back of
Milwaukee Depot.

From tuesdays Daily.
A satchel was stolen from the wait
ing room of the union depot last night.
1t was the property of Ed. Beales, for
formerly in the employ of Rosenberger
& Currier, and contained a quantity of
wearing apparel and other articles.
The satchel, or rather dress suit case,
was found this morning by James Dona-
hue, brother of Chief Donahue, in a de-
preston of the ground back of the Mil
waukee passenger depot. The lock had
been broken, but it is not known whether
any of the contents were stolen, as Mr..
Beales took the night train out of the
city after reporting his loss at the de-
pot.
The party who stole the satchel turn
ed the lights in the waiting room out
as he did so. The place where it was
found is the same place where others
nave been found that have been lost.

NEW EQUIP MENT.
1t Is Proposed to Make Mankato Best
Lighted City in Northwest.
From Fridays Daily.


President Pattersoa of the Mankato
Gas and Electric Light company said to-
day that the council and the people will
never regret giving his company the con
tract for lighting the streets, when they
see what kind of service it proposes to
give the city. Mr.. Patterson sent out a
dozen letters this forenoon to various
electrical houses asking figures on the
additional electrical equipment needed to
carry out the contract. 1t is proposed
to purchase l50 new inclosed arc lights,
as some of the aldermen believe that l35
of these will be needed at the beginning
of the contract. 1t is proposed to make
Mankato one of the best lighted cities i'm
the northwest, instead of one of the
poorest.
The reduction in the price of gas and
electricity to private consumers will 90
into effect when the street lighting COM
mences, but if the company should be
able to enter upon its lighting contract in
December, the new rates to private con-
sumers will begin December lst. Sixty
days is too short a time for the mpa
to get equipment to enter upon the new
contract, but it hopes to get ready to
take up the work some time in December.
There has been some talk. of an in
junction to prevent the city from enter
ing upon the contract, but this seems
to be based on nothing definite. The
members of the company and their attor-
neys do not show any sign that they are
at all worried by this talk, and they say
that if proceedings were started, it
would simply mean delay in the begin
ming of the contract, which would RUN for
ten years after it began, whenever THAT
should be. A little delay of this kind
would enable the company to get its
new equipment in place, and as Deem
Der is the month when the heaviest load
is on the machines, the company would
not be averse to a delay until later in
the winter.

FINE STREET. PAVING.
La Crosse Making Extensive Improve
ments on Its Thoroughfares.
From TUESDAYS Daily.


William Robinson, quarry Inspector for
the Chicago & North-Wes railroad,
is home from a trip TO La Crosse, where
he has been attending the interstate
fair. Mr.. Robinson is greatly pleased
with the paving that has been done in
the Wisconsin town during the past ten
years. The streets in the business dis
trict are paved with brick while those
in the residence portion of the town are
macadamized. The brick paving costs
the property owners So per square yard
including the curbing and guttering. The
cost of the matchmaking is $l.6O per
square yard. The brick has a concrete
foundation. The brick paving is certain
ly fine and wears well. La Crosse is en-
gagged in matchmaking all its residence
streets. The matchmaking has a crush
ed granite surface and makes an elegant
street.

DIFFICULT OPERATION.
Can Bright's Disease Be Cured ?--'
Some Cases Can.
Eror, Erido wa Daily

Miss Mary Krammer of Algona, Iowa,
who has been a long sufferer from
Brights' disease and who about three
months ago submitted to~an operation
upon both kidneys with the hope of OBJ
tanning relief, left today for her home.
The operation was performed at st.
Joseph's hospital by one of the local
surgeons-for the first time in this city,
possibly in this state. The patient, al
though in a bad condition recovered
from the operation very satisfactorily.
There has been considerable improve
ment but it is as yet too early to state
whether a complete recovery will take
place. This new form of treatment for
an otherwise incurable condition was
first devised and practiced by Prof.
Edebohls, New York city, and a number
of cures are reported.

Business Men Oppose Paying Out More
Money for Good Roads.
Claim That Tbs City Pays Halt Of
the E penses Now.
Liberal Ones Would Have to Stand
Burden OF Improvement.
What Is TO Be Done Is the Question
Asked BY Many.
From Tuesdays Daily.

But a brief meeting of the board of
trade was held last evening, the atten-
dance being very small, many of the
members having engagements elsewhere.
c. H. Saulpaugh reported on the DR..
j. w. Andrews plan of forming a good
roads association, stating that the COM
mittee had interviewed a large number
of the business men, who expressed them
selves as opposed to taking one dollar
shares. The business men say that as
this city already pays about one-half of
the tax of the entire county it is entitl-
ed to an expenditure of a goodly sum of
money for the improvement of the roads
leading into the city. Should the bust
ness men pay at the rate of $3.50 per
mile for highway construction this would
bring their portion up to about so per
cent. Another thing, the liberal mer-
chant would have to stand the expense.
He would buy the shares while the mer-
chant who never contributes anything
for the benefit of the town would reap
the reward. The committee felt that un-
der these circumstances the Andrews plan
could not be recommended. Some plan
should be devised under which the roads
leading into Mankato could be improved.
Mr.. S~aulpaugh stated that the city
council has authorized the board of pub
lie works to proceed with the improve
ment of the Eagle Lake road as far as
the city limits. The county commission
ers have appropriated $500 for the pur-
pose of making improvements beyond
that point. The road will be graveled.
The farmers living along the Pohl road
held a mass meeting last spring to talk
up the matter of improving that high
way, but no definite action was taken.
Mr.. ~Saulpaugh was of the opinion that a
committee should be appointed to inter-
est the farmers on that road to make the
desired improvement.
President Andrews suggested that the
present committee continue its labors,
and this will be done.
A communication from the interstate
commerce convention relating to amend
ments to the present inter state com
merce law, was referred to the committee
on legislation.
Another communication from the ma
tionaI board of trade regarding certain
legislation that it is designed to bring be-
fore congress, was received and filed.

NARROW ESCAPE.
Automobile Is Run Into BY a Hand
Car.
From Mondays Daily.

Ernest Rosenberger and Martin Farmer
had a narrow escape from a serious acct
dent Saturday afternoon, while return
ing from Eagle Lake with an automo-
bile. They had started for home at about
five o'clock, and the sun was shining in
their eyes to such an extent that as they
went along the road to the Chicago &
North Western crossing they did not no
tice a handcar coming down the track
toward the village. They did not see it
until they were on the crossing. The
hand ear struck the front wheels of the
automobile and was thrown from the
track. 1t contained six men, two of
whom were thrown off, but none of them
were injured.
Messrs. R~osenberger and Farmer were
thrown out, but the automobile was
badly damaged. The front wheels were
smashed, the axel bent and the spring
broken. The machine was left there, and
Mr.. Rosenberger went after it this af-
t%ernoon.
The hand car was going at a rapid gait,
and the men upon it gave no signal, and
for this reason Rosenberger & Currier
| will put in a claim to the railroad COM
pany for the damage to their vehicle.

An Exposure.

~ Z. Hail. which was one of tho mos+
side-splitting affairs ever pulled off in
Montpelier.
Inc degree of the Daughters Of Hilar
10 Jocundi was given to plodding nil
grim OF the genus tramp order and he
was almost overawed by it's awful pro-
1un1ity and sublime simplicity.
The Flooding pilgrim genus tramp)
thought he had soft snap when he
saw SO many finely caparisoned young
ladies marching like an army with ban
ners but before he got through with
the exquisite torture imposed by this
sublime degree, he prayed to Allah
that he might be transferred from this
gorgeous pageant to his ample box car
or pose as brake. beam tourist.
The Flooding pilgrim genus tramp
had the appearance of being underfed
but overdressed and his whole makeup
suggested the idea that he was always
looking for work but praying to Vishnu
Cndl He would never ind it.
The first serious objection to this
mode Of procedure was manifested by
the plodding pilgrim genus tramp
when he was required to pose as Mary's
little lamb and was being led around
the hall by Primas Politicus with a
shepherds crook about his neck.
This part of the military service was
seriously objected to by his nibs, the
tramp, which caused him to buck and
plunge and become wild and wooley,
when Primas Ioliticus with dextrous
toss caught him around the neck with
her lariat and snubbed him up to the
hitching post to receive the brand of
Hilario Jocundi
The next and most serious ordeal the
pilgrim had to encounter was when the
Bogy Bamboozler enticed him into a
dark corner and ground his nose fat to
make him look pugnacious, giving his
head the appearance of an overgrown
sN eet potato.
When the pilgrim was presented to
Secunda Raj for instruction in the de-
sirable qualification of thrift, he was up
against the real thing, for thrift had
never entered into his composition, and
soap was as objectional to his anatomy
as water is TO Kentucky colonel.
When Secunda Raj had performed
her little stunt, the plodding pilgrim
seemed very much exhausted and the
perspiration exuded from every pore of
his old clothes.
The pilgrim had at this stage of the
game passed nearly all tho chairs with
out being allowed to sit down in one of
'em and was now presented to the
Medico Examicus for physical examin-
alton. This was one of the most SAN
guine and bloodcurdling ordeals since
the Spanish bull fights or 9elzabub
DWELLING birthstone to recalcitrant un-
believers.
The Medico Examicus wolloped his
tongue around with pair of red-hot
tongs; jabhed HIM under the seventh
rib with dull dase knife; brought him
a solar plexus on the pinnacle of the left
law. and then proceeded to inform the
Daughters of Bilario Jocundi that she
had discovered no traces of microbes.
bed bugs or snakes in his boots, when
he was led to the chair of the Royal
Arch Raj Metaz for final instruction.
