ence that he was "full of his subject"
A motion was carried instructing the
committee to breach the matter to the
board of trade at next Tuesdays meet
ing.
The remainder of the evening was tax
en- up in discussing various questions re-
lating to the welfare of the city. Mr..
Richards spoke of the danger of the ap-
proach to the Main street bridge and
said it was necessary sooner or later to
build another bridge. Another bridge
was needed up town. Many people dis
like to come to Mankato on account of
the danger of the railroads. Another
bridge at a good safe place would be a
splendid thing for Mankato's trade with
Belgrade and other places across the
river.
There was quite a lengthy discussion
on Mankato's markets. The much talk
ed of wheat and hog questions were
again brought up. 1t was said that
Mankato's corn and oats market was the
best that could be found. Some denied
that meat would bring better price
anywhere else than in Mankate
Mr. Richards spoke with considerable
feeling ON the soliciting of orders for
merchandise in the city by agents of
houses of Chicago and other large cen
ters He knew of a woman who had
been going around taking orders for
goods that could be obtained just as well
at the retail stores of the city. The
woman went from place to place taking
orders and paid no taxes or fees what
ever. The merchants on the other hand
had their families to support and local
burdens to bear. He did not wish to
have people buy in Mankato at higher
price than they could get elsewhere. But
he knew they wouldn't do any better
anywhere than they could right in their
own home town,
Several others at the meeting spoke
of the numerous agents going about the
city from time to time taking orders for
soaps, dishes, and all sorts of household
goods.

INSTITUTE WORKERS ARRIVE.
Farmers Institute viii Open Tenor.
row Morning.

The state farmers institute corps ar
rived in the city today, ready for the in
stitute that begins tomorrow and con-
cludes Saturday. Superintendent O. G.
Gregg, DIR. j. G. Curryer, j. E. Wing, A.
w. Litchard, T. G. Raynor, Alva Ager,
DIR. Mary Milestone, Miss Maddox of
the two day force, and A. w. Trow,
Forest Henry and Frank Yanhke of the
one day force, and representing agricul-
tural papers, are in the city.
The institute will be held at the opera
house, and will no doubt be we'll attend
ed, as it has been thoroughly advertised.
These institutes are always attended by
latest ideas, and have an opportunity to
ask questions and get light thrown on
one of these Institutes without taking
a greater interest in farm work for hav-
ing done so, and often they are able to
make farming pay better.
A ladies' department will be held in
the A. O. U. w. hall beginning at 2 p. m.
tomorrow and at the same hour Satur-
day. This will be in charge of Miss
Maddox and DIR. Mary milestone, and
the subjects considered will interest the
ladies of both the city and the eoun-
try. There is prospect of organizing
permanent department in the city.
An institute was held at lie Sueur
Tuesday and Wednesday and was at
tended by 600 farmers and 300 to 400
ladies, who attended the sessions of the
ladies' department, and were highly
pleased with it.
The Free Press would like to urge the
ladies to attend the ladies' session In
the A. o. U. w. hall, as the work done
is good one. There is no charge what
ever, and nothing to be sold, as the
state is paying for the work. The same is
true of the institute proper.
The morning session of the institute
will begin at 10 a. M, and the books
will be given away at the close of the
forenoon session tomorrow. The after
noon session begins at 1880 p. m.

Our past experience in Christian and
philanthropic work has caused US to be
careful in the publication of figures, for
we well know how inadequate they often
prove in conveying the comprehensive
and many sided work accomplished. But
some of those gathered from our reports
at the close of another years labor under
the Volunteer standard may give some
larger idea of the excellent results of
the Volunteers mission to men.
Not including some of the returns
there have been over 400 women cared
for and over 5000 beds have been provid-
ed for young women in the homes of
mercy.
There have been 479 children received
into, and cared for, in the Children's
Homes, and 3,400 children have been
helped with clothing. The Volunteer of
fcers and workers have visited and aided
29,Os4 families during the year in and
around the poorer sections of the large
cities where they labor.
No less than lS0,555 people were lodg-
ed during the year in the homes and in
stitutions for working and destitute men
and women, not counting the many hun
dreds sheltered during the floods in st.
Louis. Kansas City and other centers.
There were 275,42s persons fed with
substantial meals at nominal cost in
these institutions, and 81 900 persons
were given temporary relief and food
Over 1000 quarts of fresh milk were do
mated principally to sick children
Over $4,000 prisoners living reformed

Franksen Against nj. M. Co.
From Thursdays Daily.
This morning petition for admins
tration was filed with the probate Judge
by Mrs. Wilhelmina K. Franksen, in the
matter of the estate of her deceased hus-
band, Jorgen c. Franksen. Franksen left
no property except small amount of
chattels, but the purpose of having the
Administrative appointed is found to be
a proposed suit against the Mankato
Mailing company for Mr.. Franksen's
death. His widow will ask the maximum
sum allowed by law, $1,000. 1t is a
noteworthy fact that for death one can
sue for no more than $1,000, while for
the loss of an eye or a finger, as much
as $4,000 can be secured if the jury can
be persuaded that the damage is so great
Mr.. Franksen was killed at the Malt
ing company's new building, on August
II, 1903. An account of this accident
was published in The Free Press the
same day the mishap occurred
The complaint will allege that the
plans and specifications called for con-
crete floor made of gravel or sand and
certain kind of cement between the
steel joists. Franksen was a member
of the firm of Mahlke & Franksen which
had the contract to do the work. The
Mailing company was to furnish the ma
terials. One of Mahlke & Franksen's
men was doing the job of putting in the
cement floor and it is alleged that one
of the officers of the Mailing company
told this mason to use half of another
cement, which instructions the mason
followed, contrary to the plans and speci-
fications made by the architect. The
complaint goes on to say that experts
say that two cements won't work to-
gether.
The complaint says that on the after
noon of August II, Franksen was stand
ing on the floor and happened to be right
between the two steel joists. He was
talking to one of the workmen. The
workman happened to be standing right
on top of joist. Without warning the
concrete gave way, and Franksen shot
down distance of about eighty feet
and was instantly killed.
The cause of action, therefore, is based
upon the Mailing company's alleged
negligence through one of its officers in
changing the plans and specifications
and putting in floor claimed to be dan
gerous. Robert Griebel, so the plaintiff
will allege, when he saw Franksen fall
ran to the stairway, and went through
the same concrete in several places as he
ran, but caught himself on the joists
and saved himself from going through
This concrete floor was afterwards all
knocked out and replaced according to
the specifications with single cement.
The suit will get into the district
court as soon as letters of administra-
ton are issued to Mrs. Franksen, which
will be about three weeks hence. The
suit will without doubt be tried in the
June term before Judge Cray. Long &
Dyer are attorneys for the plaintiff.

LAND MEN ORGANIZE.
Successful Meeting Is Held in ST. Paul
Yesterday.
From ThuraAav'a Dailv

from lnurS0ay6 DalIy.
About ESQ Northwestern land agents
assembled at the st. Paul Commercial
club yesterday and organized a strong
association under the name of the Ameri-
can immigration association of the
Northwest.
The land men of Minnesota, Wis
consin, North and South Dakota and
Montana have felt for years that their
efforts were being wasted, and that
much could be accomplished by COM
pact organization. Men in similar lines
had organized in the southwest and in
Canada, and the present was considered
the right time to join forces in this part
OF the country. For some time great
deal of immigration that would natural
ly have come to the northwest, had been
diverted to the southwest, largely
through the efforts of the Southwestern
Immigration association. Hence the con-
vention of yesterday, a convention COM
posed of delegates from the five states
mentioned.
j. A. fictitious of st. Paul presided at
the morning session H. S. Hunter of
Minneapolis was temporary secretary.
In a brief opening address Mr.. fictitious
referred to the movement that led up to
the convention. The twin city land men,
he said, had already held one or two
meetings, and had organized The land
fever had appeared first in the northwest,
and had gradually spread to other Sec
tions of the country, where now sys-
tematic work looking to increased i'm
migration was being done. 1t behooved
the people of these parts to be alive
to the necessity of settling their own
lands. Much could be accomplished by
organization and well directed effort.
The principal work of the forenoon
was the adoption of the constitution
and bylaws. Meetings will be held an
nually the first Wednesday in February
The question of membership fees
created considerable discussion. The
constitution placed the annual fee at So
and the dues at like amount. Each
member of a corporation could become
a member by paying S., but no corpora
ton should pay greater sum than $25.
There was quite a sentiment favorable
to allowing land men from outside states
to become members without payment of
fees. Others thought that fat rate
of $40 for corporations would be am
pie.
1t is the intention to pay the Sec
rotary salary of about 1900.
Before adjournment yesterday COM
plete organization was effected. ]. A.
Feltous of st. Paul was elected presi-
dent; J. E. Burchard of St. Paul general
vice president, and vice presidents from
each of the interested states as follows:
Minnesota, J. D. Lund, Minneapolis; Wis
consin, J. c. Erbes, Grantsburg; Illinois,
w. II. Brown, Chicago; North Dakota,
