QUEER EASTERN WORDS.

The king of Korea, in speaking of him
self, uses the term Hap-mun, meaning
''First gate of all the gates in the coun-
try" The words Pharaoh, Sublime
Porte, and Mikado, have the same mean
ing. Were the English language more
picturesque and less practical, we should
doubtless have in place of the word vitos
compound word signifying First food
of all foods" which would be, in truth
descriptive.

just before the adjournment, Rev. f.
E. r. Miller offered the following reso-
luton, which was adopted without di-
vision:
Resolved, That the Mankato Sunday
School Institute, consisting of the Meth
odist Episcopal, Presbyterian, Baptist,
Congregational and Christian churches,
expresses its approval of the act of
Mayor G. 7. Taylor in closing the sa-
loon and amusement hall operating under
the name, The Tivoli,' by revoking its
license, and that the institute extend to
him it's moral support for like actions
which His Honor may be contemplating
in relation to other places of which
complaint has been made to him."
After the meeting of the institute ad-
journed, union service was conducted
by Rev. Geo. w. Davis in the church au-
ditorium above and was attended by
the major part of the gathering below.

WILL NOT AMEND.
ourt Holds That Defendants Asked
Too Much of Him.

From Saturdays Daily.
Judge Cray filed an order in the case
of Fred Arndt VS.. James A. Thomas and
others denying the motion of the defend
ants to amend the findings. The court &C
companied the decision with a memoir
andum, in which he said that the motion
seemed to him to be clearly beyond and
outside of anything contemplated by the
supreme court in it's decision. The de-
cision of the court to the effect that
there was no public highway at the place
where the trespass was committed can
not now be revised.
The defendants motion practically re-
solves itself into two demands: That
this court now reverse the decision of
two courts; and that a new trial be
granted. The trial covered three days,
and the testimony embraced over 800
folios. Every detail was gone into thoro-
ughly. The court sees no good purpose
that would be served by granting new
trial now, even if the court has the pow
er in it's discretion to grant it.

This Morning.
From Saturdays Daily.

From Saturdays Daily.
David j. Lewis died at his home at
Minneopa Falls at $3.50 o'clock this
morning, after short illness. He had
been suffering from cold, and compli-
cations set in, and since Monday he was
a very sick man.
The deceased was eighty-four years of
age, and leaves wife and four sons
and four daughters, Joseph R., Thomas
D., D. E., Humphrey, Annie R., Ida M.
Lewis, Mrs. HI. A. Alleman and Mrs.
Mary Davis. All of the children were
present at the bedside of their father
when he died. He was an uncle of
Thomas j. Jones of this city.
Mr.. Lewis was an old settler and was
well and favorably known, and his death
will cause sorrow among all his friends
The arrangements for the funeral have
not yet been made.
Mr.. Lewis was born in Llannawin,
|Montgomeryshire, North Wales, March
25, 1920. He came to this country in
1912, and resided in New York until 1855
when he settled in South Bend on the
farm where he died.

REDISTRICTED THE COUNTY.
NicolIet Commissioners Deal Out a
Blow to st, Peter.

Nicollet county commissioners have re-
districted the county and according to
The Herald the city of st. Peter has been
hard hit. The Herald says: "Much to
the surprise of everybody, because it
was not suspected, the board redistricted
the county as to the commissioner dis
tricts. st. Peter, as will be seen, got a
severe jolt from the board, as under the
new plan st. Peter is placed in a COM
missioner district by itself, instead of
being a part of two districts as in the
past, and thus deprived of the possibility
of being represented at any future time
by more than one commissioner. The new
plan becomes effective after the next
election, and under it the several dis
tricts with population will be as fol-
lows:
The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1904-01-15

been only one instance of their being
helped by the county since.
Another woman once came to the COM
missioner's office and said her husband
had left her and her two children with
nothing to eat. Mr. Paddock sent some
food and then went around inquiring
among the neighbors about the family.
He found out that the woman's husband
had not left her and that they had no
children at all and never had had any.
A short time afterwards when the wo-
man again came around to Mr.. Paddock
office for county relief she met with such
a reception as effectually put an end to
her schemes of parasitical living at the
public expense.
1t would be grand good scheme if
all the worthless husbands could be
rounded up and made to earn their bread
by working for the county. As long as
the county must support their families
the taxpayers should be given the bene-
fit of such expenditure of money.

SUPREME COURT DECISIONS.
Two Orders Handed DoWn-.-C0unty
Is Victorious.

From Saturdays Daily.
The supreme court has rendered YER
dict in the Mountain case as follows:
The vendor of piece of land gets a
$4,000 verdict from the purchaser, who
made false representations as to its
value, the owner not being acquainted
with it. The syllabus:
David w. Mountain, Respondent, vs..
James B. Day, Appellant. Syllabus:
First-An action will lie for fraudu-
lent representations made by the pros
pective purchaser of land as to its value
and condition, the land being at dis
lance from the place of purchase and
the vendor being ignorant as to its con-
, dition and value, and relying upon the
truthfulness of such representations.
Second-The court instructed the jury
that the measure of damages was the
difference, if any, between the value of
the land as it was represented to be,
and it's actual value at that time. Held,
while the instruction is technically incor-
rect, the true measure of damages be-
ing the difference between the actual
value and the purchase price, no pre-
JUDGE resulted therefrom, and if it was
considered prejudicial attention should
have been called to the inaccuracy.
! Third-The verdict was not excessive.
| Order affirmed. Lewis, j.
Village of Lake Crystal, appellant
against County Commissioners, Blue
/, Earth county; affirmed. Start, G. j.
This case involves the payment of
smallpox bills and the contention of the
county is sustained. This is victory
for County Attorney Wilson.
The following is the order:
Chapter 23S, Laws 1901, relating to the
expenses of towns and villages in con-
trolling contagious diseases construed
and held that bills for such expenses ac-
tually paid and adjusted before its enact
ment are not within it's purview, and
/ that its retrospective scope is limited to
expenses Heretofore incurred, but not
in fact paid in continuing cases pending
at the time of its enactment.
| Order affirmed. Start, G. j.

Mr.. DUNN'S STATEMENT.
PRINCETON Man Gives HIS Views on
Matters of State Policy.
From Eridav'a Daily

From Fridays Daily.
Robert c. Dunn formally announced his
candidacy for governor through his pa
per, The Princeton Union, which was is
sued yesterday.
The announcement came in the form of
signed statement giving Mr.. Dunn's
views ON matters of state policy. 1t reads
as follows:
am a candidate for the Republican
nomination for governor of Minnesota
and I respectfully solicit the support of
all Republicans and my fellow citizens
generally.
No man is big enough to dictate plat
I form for the Republican party of Mime
sofa. The party, through its representa-
tives in convention assembled, will form
ulate platform upon which l will
squarely stand. The combined wisdom
of the Republican party of the state is
better than the Judgment of any indi-
vidual member of the party.
1 heartily endorse and approve the
platform adopted by the Republican state
convention in 1902.
There are certain other things which
1 believe in and will practice, advocate
and recommend if am chosen governor:
The state board of control should be
absolutely divorced from politics and the
affairs of the board should be conducted
on business principles on broad-guage
lines with due regard to humanitarian
features; no niggardly policy should be
pursued.
| One of my cardinal beliefs is non-inter'
| ference of the executive with the legis
lative branch of the government, and the
appointive officers should eschew poll
tics and devote their energies to the per-
Torrance of their official duties. Those
who serve the state best will serve me
best.
The state should make liberal provis'
ion for the reclamation of its swamp
lands.
1 pledge myself to observe and enforce
the law which gives to ex-union soldiers
the preference to appointive offices.
| I pledge myself to a fearless and i'm
partial enforcement of the laws upon our
statute books, particularly those which
guard the interests of the people from
the encroachments of corporate greed and
aggression. Every citizen is equal under
the law and should enjoy equal privileges
and equally share the burdens.
In conclusion, think my record in the
legislature and in the state auditors Of
flee, which is an open book, should be a
guarantee that I will discharge the duties
of the office of governor in an intelligent
and business like manner. If nominated
and elected, 1 pledge myself to devote
my entire time and attention to the
faithful performance of the duties of the
position.
