Report From Municipal and CONNER.
ciaI League Meeting.

Reports of the secretary and treas
urer submitted to the board of trade
directors this morning revealed the fact
that the organization is almost in a
state of impecuniosity, but 40 cents be-
ing in the treasury. During the year the
board received $32975 and this added to

G. n. Andrews made his report as dele
gate to the Municipal league meeting. He
gave a very interesting account of the
session, that all of the larger towns of
the state were well represented, and ad-
vised that Mankato retain its member
ship in the league. Mr. Andrews stated
that Mr.. Currier contributed materially
to the discussion of the freight rate
question. Mr. Currier, who was also a
delegate to the league meeting, added
to the report made by Mr.. Andrews.
1t was agreed that the Mankato board

in the league.
Thomas Hughes called attention to the
fact that the train service west on the
main line of the Chicago & North Western
road was bad for those wishing to do
their trading in Mankato. 1t is impossi-
BILE for these people to reach this city
until late hour in the afternoon and
once here they are obliged to remain all
night, as the train passing this point at

west of here. The matter was referred
to the committee on railroads and
transportation.

should do something TO increase us meHl
bership. 1t was decided that commit
Zee of three should be appointed to take

in conjunction with the secretary.
The opinion was expressed by severa
that if the board could have member
ship of 100 or more there would be NJ
difficulty in maintaining fund suffi
.ient to meet all legitimate expenses, ant
much could be done to advance the inter
ests of the city.

SUES FOR DIVORCE.
William F. Michel Brings An Action
AGAINST His Wife.

From Fridays Daily.
William +. Niebel has brought suit
for divorce from his wife, Margaret Mel
bel. The main facts of the history of
this inharmonious young couple were re-
counted in last nights Free Press. The
complaint was served on the wife last
night, where she is staying with her in
FAINT son at the Albert Theissen home on
North Sixth street.
The document alleges that the plain
tiff, William F. Niebel, is twenty three
years of age and his wife, the defendant,
twenty-one; that on Aug. Goth the de-
PENDANT came to him and told him she
| was to be the mother of child of which
he was the father. Defendant demanded
| that the plaintiff marry her or she would
kill herself; that the plaintiff believed
what the defendant said and the mar
riage took place Sept. l, 1902. Later he
had reason to believe that what she told
him was not true. The complaint goes
on and names another young man well
known in the city who, the plaintiff
claims according to the best of his
knowledge and belief, must have
been the child's father. Other serious
charges of a like nature are enumerated
in detail against the defendant.
Mrs. Niebel makes sweeping denial
of every charge and ground on which
plaintiff asks for the divorce. She de-
clared this morning that she would fight
the suit to the end. She has retained
Attorneys Pau & Pau. H. L. & j. w.
Schmitt are counsel for the plaintiff.
Neibel evidently is determined to be
rid of his wife. The wife has been anx-
ious to have reconciliation with her
husband and to live with him again.
She empha tically rejected his offer to
give her 500 settlement money and let
the divorce case go against her by de-
fault. 1t has been suggested to her
that she make this arrangement with
the plaintiff: She could put in an ans
wer denying the charges and make
countercharge of cruel and inhuman
treatment and ask for legal separation on
that ground; the plaintiff could fail to
appear and the judgment thus go in her
favor by default, thus indicating her
character; at the same time the plaintiff
could pay her 500 and stand the ex-
pense of the divorce. This may be the
ultimate solution.
7 The plaintiff says in his complaint
that when he deserted his wife last Sep
TENDER, he did so on account of the
misconduct on which he bases his divorce
proceedings. A few weeks after he did
leave, his wife caused warrant to be
issued for his arrest on the charge of
desertion and non support

CAPT. BROWN RESIGNS.
Company H Will Have to Select New
Commanding Officer.

From Fridays Daily.
Ernest r. Brown has resigned his po-
sition as captain of company Fl, on &C
count of the amount of time which it
requires, and his inability to give it the
time. He forwarded his resignation to
Col. Wright, of the Second regiment, at
Austin, week ago. Today he received
an order from the regimental headquart
ers, signed by A. G. Page, captain and
adjutant, informing him that he was re-
lieved from the command of the COM
pany, and saying that First Lieutenant
Fred E. Day would take command until
a captain has been elected and qualified
The company is in excellent condition,
due largely to the efforts of Capt.
Brown. The latter has held his present
commission since June 10th, 1902. He
was one of the organizers of the COM
pany and was the first to sign the mus
ter roll.
An election will be called soon to fill
the vacancy in the position of captain.

John PehIing Is Home After Service
in the Philippines.
Was in the American Army and He
Liked His lob.
If a Soldier Is Frugal He Can Save a
Bunch of Money.
Doesn't Feel Right Now That He Is
Merely a Civilian.
From Mondays Daily.

From Mondays Daily.
John Pehling, a young cavalryman
who has completed his term of three
years service, for the most part in the
Philippines, came to the city Saturday
and sojourned for time at the City no.
tel, just before leaving for his home at
Nicollet, where he was going to take
his parents by surprise, they having no
idea that he was coming home. Pehling
is single man, twenty-seven years old.
Three and a half years ago while he
was working at drilling wells at Sioux
City for the Chicago & North Western
Railway company. He happened to run
across an advertisement for recruits in
the United States cavalry and enlisted
without hesitation. He entered 'E''
troop, Fifteenth United States cavalry,
at San Francisco. On Dec. l6, 1901, this
troop sailed for the Philippines. In Ma
Mia harbor the ship sojourned two or
three days and then transported the
troop to the island of Mindango, where
there was demand for larger force
of American soldiers to keep order. Pehl-
ing was engaged in several battles with
the Moros but never received scratch.
The young man grew very fond of the
soldiers life and now nothing else will
suit him. He feels lonesome and is af-
fiicted with ennui in civilized country
and has almost decided to "take on
again." that is, to re-enlist. He is just
the kind of a young soldier that Uncle
Sam wants, vigorous, robust, energetic,
fond of military life and ever ready to
respond to the call for duty at mo-
ment's notice. He looks much younger
than he is, though he has small patch
of gray hair, the result of scalp in
jury ue IeCclNtu WHilc SoJouI ling III
California, when he was thrown from his
horse
The barracks, hastily constructed from
the native woods, branches and leaves,
are splendidly adapted to the climate
and very comfortable. The soldiers
have plenty of fun hunting and fishing,
the game and fish existing in the great
est abundance The boys also go into
athletic sports almost universally. Foot
ball and baseball are played day after
day. The Army and Navy union has
provided all the soldiers with splendid
libraries and gymnasium.
Mr.. Pehling says a soldier who is
frugal and saving can accumulate $500
to $500 during his three years enlist
ment in the cavalry service. Yet many
of them find ways of going through all
their money, largely by gambling, and
come home with nothing at all.
Mr.. Pehling's troop came back to the
United States last November, arriving at
San Francisco on the 18th. Here they
staid three weeks and then went to
Fort Meyer, Virginia, where those whose
terms of service were out were discharg-
ed.

THAT LYRA DOG CASE.
Correspondent Has Something to Say
of the Affair.

From Fridays Daily.
The Free Press is in receipt of the
following:
81 see in Tuesdays Daily Free Press
that the Lyra correspondent is accused
of exaggerating about the shooting of a
dog by William Wier.
con Tuesday, Jan. IL, 1904, William
Weir shot dog belonging to James
Weir, and he is now blind of one eye
from the effects of the shot.
GIN regard to his trespassing will say
that he was home few minutes be-
fore he was shot and just running around
and was perfectly harmless.
81 heard the shot, the dog came home
yelping and I saw William Wier going
into the house with his gun.
81 did not state that he killed the dog
but said that he shot a valuable dog
belonging to James Weir.
eff he did not kill the dog it was his
intention to do so.

CLARK TO WAUPUN.
Clever SWindIer Will Remain at Wis
c0nsin open Three Years.

/ A. G. Clark, recently an inmate of the
Winona county Jail, and later arrested at
Arcadia on the charge of obtaining
money under false pretenses entered a
plea of guilty before Judge Odell at
Whitehall on Tuesday and was sentenc-
ed to three years in the state prison at
Waupun.
The charge was made against Clark in
Winona, which led to his first arrest,
that he had stolen watch from a La
Crosse man. He had departed from the
city before the warrant was issued, and
it was while he was being traced west of
here by Sheriff Lins that it was found
just how general was his fraudulent
practice.
The report came that he was at Man
kato and the chief of police of that place
was notified to arrest him. Clark got
away with horse and buggy and start
ed south with the chief after him. He
was overtaken at Lake Crystal and
there arrested and then sent back to
Winona.
He was bound over to the January
term of the district court and his case
was brought before the grand jury. He
represented himself as general agent
for an eastern publication, and had been
appointing sub-agents, for which he re-
quired certain amount of money. The
house he was said to represent denied
that he was connected with it but refus-
ed to send representative here to pro-
secute, and as this necessary proof could
not be obtained the grand jury could
not return an Indictment.
Clark was then released and went
over into Wisconsin where he took sub
scriptions for this magazine at reduc-
ed price. 1t was while engaged in doing
this that he was arrested, and his en-
tering plea of guilty saved Trempleau
county the trouble and expense of prose
cutting. He will now be safe in Jail for
three years.-Winona Republican.

WITHOUT VETERANS
For the First Time i'm 10 Years No
Man of the Civil War is
National Candidate.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Aug. To-
The presidential campaign of 1904,
40 years after the close of the war
of the rebellion. marks the passing
of the "old soldier" as a prominent
factor in national politics.
For the first time in 40 years,
neither of the leading political par
ties presents a civil war veteran for
either president or vice president
Roosevelt was too young to serve
in the civil war.
Fairbanks was ten years old when
the war broke out.
Parker and Fairbanks are of the
same age.
Davis was 3S when Sumpter was
fired on, but he remained in his bus
mess.
Until late years at least one of the
great parties has felt called upon to
place at least one soldier upon the
ticket.
Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Harrison,
and Mckinley were soldiers.
Cleveland was not soldier and
neither were his running mates, YET
he was opposed in each of his cam
paigns by one or more soldier nomi-

WOULD STOP
FREE PERMITS

A new building ordinance, radical
ly different from the present mea-
sure, will shortly be introduced in
the city council. A number of the
leading architects and builders are
having the ordinance drawn up. 1t
is claimed that the present ordin-
ance is out of date and entirely in
adequate for the needs of Tacoma.
Among the new features to be em-
bodied in the ordinance will be one
providing for small charge to be
made for building permits. The OBJ
ject of this is to make the Office
of building inspector self-sustaining.
AT present the Office has no revenue
and costs the city about 500 a
month. There is a difference of
opinion as to what the charge should
be. 1t is claimed by some of the
architects that the charge should be
81 for all permits. Others hold that
the charge should be 81 for all per-
mits where the amount does not eX-
coed $1,000, and 80 cents for each
additional $1,000.
