To secure the above attendance over

The need of proper equipment for our
work in q new building of our own, is
made evident by the statistics given. If
we are to progress we must have it. Our
work will certainly retrogade if we do
not. We cannot continue to interest and
hold the young men to our purpose in the
present quarters. Our field in this city
has fairly been opened. Given the means,
what may be expected of us by our rec
ord of the past.
Before closing the report l desire to
present for your commentator the
faithful services of your board of direc-
tors, and especially its president, who has
nearly every day of the past year given
his best thought and time for serving the
interests of the organization. This can
well be said of the whole board, and is
an evidence of their Christian spirit
and desire to open the way for all
young men to the light of the world
and the opportunities it holds.
The report of the building committee
will not reveal to you the arduous labors
which have brought about the results
they report to you. Eternity only can
recompense them fully for their pains
taking efforts, which are wholly without
pecuniary reward. The newspapers have
encouraged the work editorially and
otherwise. The pastors of the various
churches have been glad at all times
to give their services. The state COM
mittee and its secretary, E. w. Peck, are
| to be- thanked for advice and direction.
and for their suggestiveness in extending
the work throughout the state.

should arise our praise to Him who still

Directors Elected.
Mr.. Sugden from the nominating COM
mittee, reported the following candi-
dates for directors for three years:
Lewis Davis, c. H. Cooper, N. B. Haynes,
chosen in place of Fl. y Kuhn, who did
not wish to serve. The above gentlemen
were elected unanimously. Rev. f. E.
r. Miller reported the following resolu-
tons:
Revolved, That we, the members of
the Young Mems Christian association
of Mankato, express to the members of
the Ladies' auxiliary our heartiest and
most sincere thanks and praise for their
generous and successful assistance and
cooperation in our work.
Resolved, That we extend to the
newspapers of this city our sincere
thanks for their practical support in Civ
ing us the liberal use of their space for
all the news and affairs Of the associa-
ton.
Resolved, That we heartily thank
Rev. George W. Davis for his faithful
and painstaking work with our Sun
day School Teachers Bible class.
Resolved, That we commend the hear
ty cooperation of the churches of the
city and their pastors, in all the work
Of the association.
Resolved, That. we heartily commend
the work of the president, W. d. Willard,
and the general secretary, A. C. Gran,
and the members Of the board of direc-
tors in their direction and care for
the interests Of the association.
Resolved, That these resolutions be

ing, donated by Miss Helen Gould, in
Brooklyn navy yard. The educational
feature of the association was spoken of
as having been very beneficial to large
number of young men. These things
are practical in Mankato. Mr.. Peck
sometimes thought that the people here
did not take as much pride in their
city as they should. Mankato is becom-
ing better known throughout the north
west as city of homes.
The Young Mems Christian association
is the right arm of the churches, declared
Mr. Peck. He was satisfied that the peo-
pie here would not be willing to go along
in the present cramped quarters. The
Manllato association ought to have and
must have building of its own. 1t
will be a building for the young men.
Nothing will stand so much for the
betterment of the young men. There are
not many towns left but what have their
own buildings. Last year Sl2,00o,000 was
given in the United States for the cree
ton of Y. M. C. A. buildings; the year
before $lO,OO0,0O0. The money was
given willingly. The building will not
belong to any church, but all denomina-
lions will have an interest in it. Mr..
Peck hoped that before the snow shall
fly again Mankato people will be given
the opportunity to point out to strangers
a fine Y M. A. A. building on some
prominent corner. Mr.. Peck said that
many people think of the money that is
expended to damn the souls of young
men, but don't think of the money ex-
pended to save them.
H. P. Goddard introduced.
President Willard then introduced Sec
rotary H. p Goddard of the Minneapolis
Y. M. C. A. Mr.. Goddard regarded the
Y. NJ c. A. as among the most magni-
ficent organizations of the world 1t is
the organization that develops the char
acter of the young men. This is pre-

of our nation counts it a privilege to
add his support by word or deed to fur
ther the cause. During his present trip
through the west conspicuous feature
has been his participation in defeating
numerous buildings, and the burning of
the mortgages on the association build
ing in San Francisco. When such sturdy
men as President Roosevelt and the lead
ing men in business and professional
life testify to their appreciation of the
work they make it possible to do even
greater things.
That appreciation is going to be ex-
pressed locally and is bound to come
after such magnificent results have been
accomplished by our association as re-
ports will show From the statistics
which l have compiled to give tonight
you might appreciate even further what
has been accomplished with the means
given us.
The increase in membership and atten-
dance in nearly every department of the
associations activities has been so great
as to make it most impossible to do
successful and effective work in any of
them, in the rented quarters we are now
in. There has been an increase in the
actual membership of over rs per cent
in the past year. The total membership
May /, 1903, is as follows: Seniors, full
and limited privilege, 1862; juniors, 81;
students, 43; total, 4G6. Students mem
berships issued during the year, le7.
The great increase in membership from
the young men Of our city is overwheln-
ing evidence that they are demanding
such advantages as the association has
to offer.
The attendance of these young men in
the various departments of the associa-
ton has been as follows:

emmently an age of young men. Young
and responsible positions and the asso-
citation has done much to develop their
characters. 1t should be the duty of all
right thinking men to give matter of
developing the character of young men
the thought that is due it. Mr.. Goddard
remarked in closing that it was up to the
people of Mankato to do something. The
building should be erected this summer.
President Willard Speaks.
President Willard stated that the
building committee has subscribed $l5,-
400. The committee has an option on the
Jensen corner, and that will undoubtedly
be the location of the building. Mr..
Willard went on to say that one sub
scription was for $4,000; one for $500;
two for 81 900 each; several for $500 and
others for 500. Many gentlemen have
not as yet decided what they will give.
He announced that the association has
on hand buttons bearing picture of the
building and these will be sold at five
cents each.
Many responded with subscriptions for
the yearly budget. Booklets containing a
picture of the proposed building and Civ
ing other information were distributed
among the audience.
President Willard announced that a
subscription of 5000, another of $50, and
one for s., the later from young man.
had been handed in during the meeting
The building committee is composed of
". d. Willard, George NJ Palmer, H. A
Patterson, George W. Sugden and A
c. Gran.
At the adjournment of the meeting
the ladies served refreshments. This
was a pleasant feature of the evening

citation work. Reference was made to the
railroadmen's great conventions and how
much good has been done by these
gatherings. At the recent railroadmen' S
convention delegates came from Russia,
Germany, France, Old Mexico and from
other foreign countries. 1t was to this
convention that President Roosevelt
made an address. There are over 600 col
lege associations, and the colored mems
section was not forgotten by Mr.. Peck.
Also the association of Indian young men
upon the frontier. The work among the
soldiers and sailors was spoken of. A
great deal of good has resulted from the

rival, to Saltwater. | have consulted
with Warden Wolfer, and he informs me
that there is no rule against his having
accepted the prisoner Saturday evening,
and that he would have done so if he had
been given the opportunity"
The News was first to give publicity
to the sensational incidents which are al
legged to have taken place in st. Paul
while Tanke was in charge of Sheriff
Forsyth. There are no new features
regarding the case, only the positive de-
claration of the governor that an investi-
cation will be made. He will call upon
the sheriffs to explain and if the officers
do not admit the charges the governor
viii appoint commission whose duty it
will be to make thorough inquiry.
Tanke is locked up in prison and he
will not be allowed to give statement
Of the affair until an official investigation
is under way. Sheriff Forsyth's state
ment to the press does not appear to be
very clear.
Warden Wolfer makes the statement
that the hour is never too late to receive
prisoner at the penitentiary.
Governor Van SAINT stated to a st.
Paul Globe reporter that inasmuch as
Sheriff Williams was only a guest of
Sheriff Forsyth he viii not be called upon
to explain his connection with the mat
ter, but Sheriffs Forsyth AMI Mcmillan
will be called upon the carpet. The gov
ernor stated that if the charges are true
the two officials will undoubtedly be re-
moved
1t is claimed that Sheriff Mcmillan
did not remain in st. Paul over night,
but that he was in Minneapolis, rejoin
ing Sheriff Forsyth Sunday morning.

TANKE'S TRIP TO PRISON
Twin City Newspapers Claim It Was
Filled With Incidents.
Sheriff Williams Makes Emphatic De.
NAL of Printed Stories.
From Tuesdays Daily.

From Tuesdays Daily.
1t is claimed by the twin city newspa-
pers that an official investigation is like
ly to be made by Governor Van SAINT of
the action of Sheriff Forsyth of st.
James in taking Frank Tanke, the con-
victed New Ulm murderer to Saltwater,
to serve life sentence in the peniten-
tiary for the murder of John Wellner.
His wife who was formerly Mrs. Tanke
is serving life sentence for her part of
the murder. Tanke was tried twice for
the murder of Wellner, and was finally
sentenced to life Imprisonment. 1t is
said that Forsythe gave the prisoner
many liberties and allowed him to in
dulge in intoxicating drinks and that
Tanke was feeling pretty good himself
1t is reported in the papers that Tanke
told a st. Paul business man whom he
met in one of the saloons that the
sheriff was filling him up so that he
would talk freely, but that the prisoner
remarked on the side that "he could
drink the bunch under the table"
Sheriff Forsyth is alleged to have re-
manned with the prisoner all night in
st. Paul, stopping at the Astoria hotel,
and that the departure was not made
for Saltwater until Sunday lat three
G clock. These newspapers assert that
the prisoner was given ga night out"
and that o number of places were visit
ed
Somehow the newspapers have brought
Sheriff Williams of Blue Earth county
into the matter, but it is fair to say that
Sheriff Williams was not in charge of
the man Tanke Sheriff Williams went
to st. Paul last Saturday on private
mission and he was not out of his hotel
after arriving there in the evening. To
q Free Press representative Sheriff Will
liams said:
"The story that 1anke was allowed
to get drunk while in st. Paul is lie
He was not my prisoner, but was with
Sheriff Forsyth only as a guest, but |
know what happened. Upon arriving in
ST.. Paul Saturday evening we went to
the Astoria hotel, where we had supper
and secured a room. We did not go
away from the hotel that night. Sheriff
Forsyth, of st. James, and Mcmillan, of
st. Peter, and myself slept in the same
room with the prisoner. Sunday morn
ing we took the prisoner to Saltwater
and landed him in the penitentiary."
1t is generally believed that the twin
city newspapers have wronged the Of
ficers and that should the governor insti-
tute an investigation it will be found
that the charges are groundless.

men in charge of this worthy undertake
ing to dedicate the structure to the cause
OF Christ at the end of the summer, and
surely the people of Mankato are not
going TO prevent such a thing to come
to pass. all for the want of $4,000, a
small sum in comparison to the great
good that it will do for the young men of
this city. The building must receive its
conservation free of debt, wise provision
inserted in the proposition made by
NIessrs. Hubbard and Palmer when they
offered to give S., 1000 toward a building
OF that character.
Those who attended the annual meet
ing of the Young Mems Christian asso-
citation held at the Presbyterian church
last night, must certainly have been
deeply impressed with the earnestness
with which those who have this matter
in charge placed it before their listen
ers. That there will be a hearty and
liberal response to the appeals for funds
there can be no doubt. All good objects
never lack for financial support, although
