LETTER FROM THE KING.
Blue Earth Lady Receives EpistIe
From His Royal Hiqhness.
From Thursdays Daily.


One of Blue Earth's prominent citi-
zens last week received a letter from
King Edward of England, in which he
thanked the lady for sending him clip
ping regarding Mrs. Margaret Wilson
Davies, who died at her home at Lake
Crystal, something over year ago. Mrs.
Davies, when a little girl had upon one
occasion been a playmate of the late
Queen Victoria, and afterwards they
corresponded with each other and ocas-
sionally met. The letter, with the name
to whom it was addressed omitted owing
to modesty, reads as follows: "Buck-
ingham Palace. The private secretary is
commanded by the King to thank Mrs.
=. for her letter of the oath
ultimo and to return the enclosed news
paper cutting. (Dated) % April, 1903"
On the back of the envelope was pretty
purple seal, with the words, "Privy Purse
Office, Buckingham Palace" 1t is not
many who can say they have had pri-
vate correspondence with the king of
England.-Blue Earth Register.

Havemeyer's Debating Class.

John c. Havemeyer, the Yonkers man
who questions the right of men to strike
and who sought joint debate with
trade unionists on the subject has had
his wish gratified. At a conference be-
tween Mr.. Havemeyer and the represen-
tative of the local branch of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, the details in
reference to the public discussion of Ia
Dor questions was arranged.
Mr.. Havemeyer says he does not pro-
pose to be drawn into a discussion with
any single labor union. The questions
TO be determined are:
First. Shall employers be permitted
to conduct a lewful business in lawful
delegates from irresponsible and lawless
unions?
Second. Shall employees who refuse
to join labor union be permitted to
earn support for themselves and family
by honest labor?
These questions will be divided into
about twenty subdivisions.
Owing to what he considers misun-
Outstanding of his invitation, Mr.. Have
meyer has sent reply to the letter of
the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Join
ers, of Yonkers, saying they have mis-
taken the character of his invitation in
two respects. He says:
''In the first place, l did not propose
a debate or discussion. The meeting is
solely that the trades unions of Yonkers
may have an opportunity of presenting
their side of the question. in the sec
end place the invitation is to all of the
unions and not to any single one which
may be disposed to accept.
Il do not wish to be technical, and will
say that if the carpenters, masons and
plumbers were to accept | should be sat
and prevent delay, permit me to make a
more definite statement regarding the
proposed meeting;
First, it will be presided over by men
of undoubted character and fairness, sub
ject, if desired, to the approval of COM
mittee of unions. Second, there would
be the same freedom as at a political or
other meeting"

Health Officer Should Act.

To the Editor: l have read in your
paper from time to time of the work the
Civic Improvement League is doing in it's
efforts to improve the appearance of the
city. Now, while l am in sympathy
with the work and fully appreciate the
improvements so far made, cannot help
thinking that they are overlooking a
most important point. l think that
while they are petitioning the mayor and
council to enforce the ordinance relating
to dogs and things of that sort, they
should also ask that the property owners
be compelled to put city water in their
houses and make sewer connections,
when there is an opportunity to do so.
What does it avail us. to have we'll
kept lawn, and beds of lovely flowers
when the water that keeps them alive
land which we ourselves are compelled
to drink is drawn from a well that is
within ten feet of an clubhouse, and the
fragrance of the flowers is drowned by
the affluvia that arises from a score of
such buildings?
This condition exists in Mankato to-
day, not only on the outskirts, but in
the very heart of the city, and in localir

Character Building.

Character building. What is it How
is it done? The answers to these ques-
tions can be found in the following from
The Well Spring. 1t is something that
every boy should read and profit by:
at is precept upon precept, precept up
on precept; line upon line, line upon line;
here a little, and there little. Charac-
, ter is no sudden growth A person is not
one thing today and another thing to-
morrow. One is what he is today be-
cause of a long succession of yesterdays.
He is today what he was yesterday, only
a little more so; tomorrow he will be
somewhat more confirmed in being what
he is today. That is almost the invari-
able rule. At times a mans character
seems to be changed by some great ca
lamity or some extraordinary tempta-
ton, but in all probability it is only the
real nature that at last has shown itself.
"From the early youth one has been
striving to be scrupulously honest. To
him the property of another is sacred,
no matter of how little value it may be.
He would no sooner appropriate post
age stamp from another than he would
take fve-dollar bill Even while
boy the neighbors came to know him as
absolutely trustworthy. His trustworth-
mess began in little things. 1t was be-
cause he was seen to be reliable with re-
lation to them that those about him
trusted him yet further. Finally the
| time came in his manhood when the
people of his town wanted someone of
unimpeachable integrity with whom they
could trust great sums of money, and
they all chose him. He had not become
strictly upright all at once; his charac-
ter was the growth of years. 1t was
|precept upon presept, etc.
"Here is another who begins by doing
his duty unfinchingly, though it may be
full of terrors for him. 1t may be moth
ling more than going through piece of
woods on dark nights, the only dangers
in it being the unreal ones with which he
has filled it. He fights his fear there
and in other cases. He stands between
his little brothers and bigger, bullying
boys, though his heart is quaking with
in him. Whenever there is a demand
for courage he responds, and stays to
the end In time his fear disappears /;
in danger he is cool and collected. Some
day he plunges into whirlpool or dashes
into burning building where no one else
dares venture, and saves a life. Then he
lis lauded by everyone as hero. The
Emergency did not make him hero. He
was one long before; it simply gave
him the opportunity to show his mettle.
1t was little by little, here a little and
there little, that he acquired that self
&C mmand, presence of mind, quickness of
thought and supreme daring.
'Whatever you wish to be you must
begin to be now. You cannot become
great in anything by a single strenuous
lexertion. 1t will be by little efforts con-
stantly kept up that you will advance to
greater things. Don't you see how sui
cidal it is to put off beginning?"

to a location which would be less dam
gerous? There is constantly stored
enough oil at the place to do an immense
amount of harm in case of fire. The oil
house and tanks are close to the railroad
tracks and the recent Minneapolis trag-
edy, which was presumably caused by a
spark from locomotive, might easily be
repeated here. Such quantity of dan
perous combustibles should never be per-
mitted to endanger life and property, as
it certainly does in this instance. 1t is
understood that the Standard Oil COM
pany has realized the danger of the
present location of its local oil supply
and has for some years considered NOV
ing it back of the bluff. But Red Wing
is small speck on the map of the oil
trust, and has been and is likely to be
forgotten in this matter unless the city
gives emphatic notice to move.-Red
Wing Republican.
This is precaution that might be
taken in Mankato. The recent terrible
explosion in Minneapolis is warning
that too much care cannot be exercised in
the matter of locating oil tanks.
