the most auspicious conditions of the
new home of the Washington Conserva-

To undertake the establishment of a

DANGER in TOY PISTOLS
Blue Earth County Medical Society
Sounds a Note Of Warning.
Deadly Blank Cartridges Kill Hun
dreds Of Boys Annually.
Summer Complaint in Children Is
Discussed Fully.
Improper Food and Clothing Are the
Exciting Causes.


From Tuesdays Daily.
The Blue Earth County Medical So
ciety held its regular monthly meeting
at the Saulpaugh last night, with an at
tendance of seventeen. A good dinner
was served, and after that a symposium
was had on the subject, Summer Diar-
rhoea in Children" DIR. F. U. Davis of
st. Clair read paper on Symptoms and
Diagnosis" and DR.. E. w. Benham of
Amboy paper on Treatment" The
discussion was participated in by nearly
all present.
The topic is timely one, and is of
considerable interest to parents of young
children. 1t was brought out that the
child from infancy to three years is most
likely to be attacked by the disease, and
that after that age the child has greater
powers of resistance. Common causes of
the trouble is improper clothing and
feeding of the children. The range of
temperature in this state renders the
matter of clothing important. In the
day time there is apt to be too much
clothing, and too little at night. Warm
weather helps to cultivate germs in milk
fed to infants.
DIR. A. o. Bjelland made report of
the medical society meeting, he being a
counsellor. DIR G. R. Curran present.
ed report of the meeting of the house
of delegates.
The society discussed the ACCESSIBILITY
of issuing a warning to parents regard
ing the dangers of the toy pistol on the
Fourth of July. The blank cartridges
often used are deadly, for they create
injuries that lead to the development of
tetanus. Last year there was one death
caused in this city by tetanus, due to
playing with a toy pistol, fifteen deaths
in Minnesota, and over 400 deaths from
tetanus in the country, of which 1863
were due to injuries received on July 4th
from blank cartridges in toy postols.
Health Officer Edwards stated that he
had prepared notice to parents for pub
LEGATION in the local popers, and therefore
no action was taken.
1t was decided to hold meetings during
the summer, and little later it is pro-
posed to invite the public to attend
some of the meetings, when addresses on
subjects of general interest, such as
sanitation, will be given. The next
meeting will be held July 25th, but the
program has not yet been prepared.
DR.. T. c. Kelly, the new physician at
Garden City, DR.. A. F. Schmitt of Wells,
and Mr.. Freiling, medical student of
st. Clair, were present last night as
visitors.

Secretary Mckenzie of the Minnesota
Central Railway company, is in the city
and is registered at the Grand Central
hotel. He will be joined here next Mon
day by President Yarnall of Philadel-
phia, and together they will confer with
local parties at interest and look over the
situation at this end of the proposed
north and south line from St. Cloud to
Mankato, which will give the shippers of
this vicinity an outlet to Milwaukee,
Chicago and the east, other than as at
present by way of st. Paul and Mime
apolis over the merger lines"
For the present Secretary Mckenzie
has nothing to offer in the way of plans
or prospects of the new enterprise, but
upon the arrival of President Yarnall
next week, it is expected that definite
steps will be taken, looking to the con-
summation of the project and the begin
ming of work at this end of the line this
season.
The project for north and south
line," affording new outlet for the pro-
ducts of this region and consequent
competitive rates to Chicago and the
east, is one which has always had the
favor of this community, and in their
plans to provide the same the representa-
tives of the projected Minnesota Central
railway will have the cordial support of
this community and many of its rep
resentative business men and fnanciers.

Election TO Determine County Seat
Will Now Proceed.
Old Petition Will Be Used as Basis

From Saturdays Daily.

From Saturdays Daily.
Ivanhoe has at last won out in its
county seat fight with Lake Benton, and
A. E. Clark of this city won great vic
tory for his client in the courts.
This fight began in 1901, when Ivan
hoe set about to get the county seat of
Lincoln county away from Lake Benton.
The new town filed petition for an
election to decide which place shouldbe the
permanent county seat, the election was
held and Ivanhoe had more than enough
votes to get the county capitol. Lake
Benton contested the election and the
supreme court held it void because the
notice of the election had not been filed
in one township.
After this, the county officials, at the
request of Ivanhoe, called another cleo
ton on the old petition. Under the law,
when an election has been held, another
election cannot be held until after five
years Lake Benton commenced an &C.
ton to secure an injunction upon the
county officials to restrain them from
calling another election, on the ground,
first, that a new petition would be re-
quired, and, second, that there had beeI
an election within five years. Judge
Weber granted temporary injunction,
and an appeal was taken. John Lind and
other attorneys had been employed by
Ivanhoe on the first appeal, when it was
beaten, and on this second appeal Mr..
Clark was employed and fought the case
in the supreme court.
Yesterday decision was handed down,
sustaining Ivanhoe on both grounds. The
syllabus is as follows:
William Gle, respondent, VS.. John A.
Stegner ct al, appellants.
Injunction will lie toprevent unauthor-
lied action of the county auditor and
county commissioners on petition for
change of county seat.
The limitation fixed by chapterlli,
Laws 1899 to the effect that where spe-
cial election on the question of a change
of county seat has been held no steps
shall be taken to secure resubmission
of the question for five years thereafter
has no application to case where by
reason of failure to comply with the
law the election is nullity.
Where for any reason meeting of the
board of county commissioners to con-
slider petition for change of coun-
| ty seat is illegal and their action on the
petition and the election based thereon
are nullity the county auditor may
legally within reasonable time after
such election has been adjudged to be
void, call meeting of the board to con-
slider the petition, and they may lawful
| ly meet, consider the petition, certify the
result of their action to the county audi
tor to the end that he may call an
other election if the petition complies
with the statute.

lay of capital. The business was ordi-
narily carried on on credit plan.
Henry E. Hance thought wholesale
hardware house could thrive here as well
as down in Sioux City. There was also
good field for an overall factory. En-
enlargement might be given to such en-
terprises by exempting them for per-
iod of years, say ten, from municipal
taxation.
There was quite discussion about
Mankato markets. Mr.. Hart declared
that he knew from the committee in
vestigation that he himself had carried
on, that the markets of Mankato were on
the whole away superior to those of any
competing town.
Mr.. Currier said the only salvation of
the city, the only real source from which
growth could be derived was the es-
tablishment of new manufacturing in
dustries here. Condensed milk, material
for paste board boxes, automobiles, and
many other lines of manufacture could
be started here with profit. The rail
roads were gradually coming round to
treating Mankato fairly. Macbeth &
Gardner had just recently been granted
such rates as put them on par with the
packing houses of South st. Paul. As
manufactures develop here better and
better rates would be procured.
Secretary Taylor reported to the board
a request of the commercial college that
the secretary of the board be allowed
to give his written endorsement, as an
officer of the board and on behalf OF that
organization, to circular letters, issued in
testimony of the efficiency of the school.
A motion was passed authorizing the
secretary to sign such endorsements.

Mayor Tayior's Election Was Accom-

Blue Earth Delegation Return from
Duluth.
From Saturdays Daily.


Mayor Taylor and other members of
the Blue Earth county delegation to the
Democratic state convention held at Du-
luth returned last night. The delega-
ton that was elected at the county con-
vention all attended, with two excep-
tions. Those who went to Duluth were
Mayor Taylor, Harry Volk, A. R. Pau
Jr., S. D. Works, E. T. Champlin, Julius
Reinsburg, Robert Madigan, P. H. Nc
Graw, M. j. Ryan, Ferdinand j. Buch-
tholz, Geo. T. May, Henry Zimmerman
Jr., w. E. Polzin, c. N. Andrews, H. M.
Quinn, NJ B. Hart and Hubert Bruels,
the latter taking the place of j. c.
Thro, who went to the worlds fair.
At the meeting of the delegates from
the second congressional district to
make choice of delegates to the ma
tional convention at st. Louis, the fight
was three cornered, the candidates be-
ing Mayor Taylor, Frank A. Day of
Fairmont and Jones of Rock. 1t was
decided that the two receiving the high
est number of votes should 60, and these
were Messrs. Day and Taylor. Days
election was assured anyway, so the
contest was really between the other
two. When the votes were counted, it
was found that Mr.. Taylor had third
more votes than Jones of Rock. This
result was not brought about without
a great deal of work, and one of the
Blue Earth delegation is said to have
been fighting Mr.. Taylor. The rest of
the delegation pulled for Mr.. Taylor with
a will, led by S. D. Works, Julius
Reinsburg, M. ]. Ryan and other good
floor workers.
In the convention itself the Hearst
men gained control of the organization
and started to have everything their
own way, but the anti-Hearst or conser-
vative element would not stand for any
thing that looked like unfalrness in the
rulings of the chairman. John Lind
stemmed the tide that was setting in to-
ward Hearst, and the result of the bal
lotting caused the conservatives to get
enthusiastic.
While it was thought that the Blue
Earth delegation stood three or four for
Hearst and the balance of the eighteen
anti Hearst, and while the Hearst men
claimed six from Blue Earth county, it
is a fact that only two votes, these be-
ing from Madison Lake, were cast for
Hearst, and this only on one ballot.
Of the delegates elected to the ma
tional convention, not over eight will
vote for Hearst, so Mayor Taylor states.
Four of the anti Hearst men are oppos-
ed to Parker, and the others are for
any good Democrat. The Blue Earth
county delegation was opposed to ty-
ing up the delegates to the national
convention, believing that it would be far
better to leave them free to act as they
see fit when they get to the convention.
They are well pleased with the outcome
of the convention.
Mayor Taylor will leave in about a
week for st. Louis, and expects to re-
turn Immediately after the convention,
owing to the heat at st. Louis during the
midsummer.
