his share toward building up the city,
is able to be out after an illness of a
couple of weeks Mrs. Pay is not enjoy
ing the best of health this fall, and her

From Wednesdays Daily.
H. P. Jensen has sold out the car
riage store, located next to the Y. NJ. c.
A. building on South Second street, to
A. H. Scherer and j. F. Dackins. Mr..
Jensen will not retire from active bust
ness life. He is interested in new
manufacturing establishment, which will
start up in the city in short time,
but he declines to state just what this
new industry is going to be. For the
present he will be seen each day at his
desk in the office of the carriage es-
tablishment and will be pleased to see
callers as before. Nothing will please
him better than to observe the old pat
rons of the store continue to give the
place their trade. He will give the new
purchasers the benefit of his experience
in the way of advice and guidance.
Mr.. Scherer moved from Minneapolis
about two months ago. He is known to
many people of Mankato, having been
born here, and having spent many years
at Lake Crystal, where his father, Luth-
er Scherer, still resides. Mr.. Dackins is
himself resident of Mankato. Both the
new proprietors are gentlemen of excel
lent standing, and the carriage works
will undoubtedly prosper under their
management. The business will be con-
Quoted under the name, The Jensen Car

TALK OF HAUGHDAHL.
May Succeed Mcconnell as Dairy and
Food Commissioner.

There is considerable speculation as to
who will succeed w. w. p. Mcconnell as
state dairy commissioner under the
johnson administration. One report has
it that the new official will be Sam
Haugdahl, the famous Nicollet county
butter maker, who won the gold medal
at the Paris exposition. Mr.. Haughdahl
has done considerable work under the
present department, especially in scoring
butter for the state educational contests,
but he withdrew from state work al
together last year, to devote his time to
private business.-Minneapolis Journal

COUNT IS COMPLETE
Total Vote on President and
Governor in Minnesota.
Theodore RooseveIt's Plurality
Touches the High Places.
Outside of Cities Dunn Got a
Plurality of LIPS.
Princet0nite Carried 43 Coun-
ties and Johnson 40.
From Wednesdays Daily.

Complete official returns from every
county in the state have been secured
as to the vote for president and COVER
nor They show larger plurality for
Roosevelt than any one dreamed OF be-
fore election, larger than the first re-
turns indicated. His plurality is 1882.
His vote is almost four times as large
as that cast for Parker. The vote cast
for minor candidates will not be ascer-
tanned until the state canvassing board
has met but the vote for Debs is likely
to reach $4,000.
The final figures have reduced john
sons plurality for governor. The last
counties reporting gave a larger vote
for Dunn than was estimated. The re-
turns now show that outside of Hen
nepin county Dunn got plurality of
Gil, and outside of Hennepin and RAM
sey he led johnson by LIPS.
Dunn carried forty three counties and
Johnson forty. In 1902 Van SAINT car
ried seventy-siX counties and only six
gave plurarities for Rosing. In 1900,
when Van SAINT and Lind ran so close,
Van SAINT carried forty five counties and
Lind thirty-seven.
Dunn carried only three congressional
districts, getting his heaviest plurality
in the eighth, while the first district
gave him only 1856 and the seventh dis
trict just 225 more votes than Johnson.
Two districts gave johnson an equally
small lead, the second district showing
him PSI to the good, and the ninth just
close districts are all on the western
boundary of the state. They are all
heavily republican.
Johnson carried the third district by g.
GIL, getting pluralities in seven of the
nine counties. The fourth went for
Johnson by 994, very small pluralities
for Dunn in Chisago and Worthington,
not being sufficient to Offset Johnson's
lead in Ramsey. The sixth gave John
son 3,042, the counties outside of Stearns
being almost standoff.
The following is the vote on cover
nor by congressional districts:

Improvements at University

The university is a quiet place these days, owing to the fact that a majority of the faculty have left on their summer vacations. Dr. Babcock went to California this week and in his bsence Prof. D. H. Holmes is acting president of the institution.
 The new we'll, pump and motor are now in operation, providing ample water for irrigating the uni versity lands. The motor is a 20 horse power, the electricity heinz furnished by the local plant. The old well was no feet deep, but with an expenditure of $50 the regents drilled an 3inch hole in the bottom of the well to a depth of forty feet, greatly increasing the water supply.
 The board of regents will spend 5000 improving the boys dormi- tory during the summer months. The ground in front of Herring hall will be graded and new steps will replace the old at the front and rear of the main building. The university cottages will be painted and renovated.-Tucson Post.

 If "God treats us as we treat each other," what kind of treatment ought we to expect at His hands? Are you going to make the trip up Bill Williams week from next Monday? This invitation is open to all.
 The Bible is divine book suited to everybody; it gives more com fort to dying soul than any words man can originate.
 The good women of William ms, both in and out of the church, are abundant in good works in caring for the sick and distressed. How long would the institutions of liberty and freedom live in un- christian patriotism? How long be- fore liberty would become license?
