From Mondays Daily.

HAou 1AOuu<tS Odily.
A court of the Knights of Columbus
Catholic fraternal insurance organiza-
ton, was started in this city yesterday.
The members of the order came to the
city from other parts of the state in
large numbers, two special trains being
required to bring them.
The first special train arrived at IL a.
m. over the Chicago Great Western road
and brought hundred people from Fari-
bault and other points along the line.
This train started from Faribault and
the greater part of the people on board
came from that place. The second spe-
cial was from the twin cities, and was
also over the Great Western road. It ar
rived at l p. M, bringing three hundred
people, the most of whom were from St.
Paul and Minneapolis. The numerous
strangers enGvened the streets, so that
the usual Sunday deserted appearance
was gone. Many ladies accompanied
the Knights from abroad, and this was
one of the pleasant features of the oc-
casion.
The new court will consist on
the start of from sixty to
eighty members, and it will
draw its membership from over large
part of southwestern Minnesota. 1t will
be named Nicollet court, but a number
has not yet been assigned it.
The initiatory work is very beautiful
and impressive. There are three degrees.
The first and second were conferred up
on the class by Grand Knight D. w.
Woolsey of Minneapolis, Deputy Grand
knight D. G. Flynn of st. Paul. Chan
cellor Judge Kelly of ST. Paul, assisted
by Father Ceary of Minneapolis. The
third degree was conferred by District
Supreme Knight j. H. Nightingale of
Minneapolis. The work was done at the
A. o. U. w. hall, which was filled.
At eleven o'clock last night fine ban
quet was served by F. G. Heinze, to
which at least three hundred people sat
down. 1t was greatly enjoyed. The hour
was so late when it concluded that no
speech making was INDUCED in.
The ladies' special train left at 4:45 p.
m, but the other did not leave until a
little after midnight. Many of the
ladies remained until the second train.
All spoke highly of the treatment which
they had received at the hands of the
local people.
A meeting of the court will be held
later to elect officers and arrange about
the meeting time, etc.
The visitors were given ride around
the city, and other courtesies were ex-
tended to them. The strangers were a
very representative gathering, and will
do much for Mankato by spreading
abroad the impressions which they gain
ed of the city from their visit.
The Knights of Columbus is not a
new organization, but is well established.
It has large membership. The mem
bers are necessarily selected in order to
pass the requirements Of the examina-
ton.
Much credit Is due to Father Hughes,
Merritt Coughlan and others for the
excellent arrangements which they made
for receiving and caring for the visitors

v .. Spear on Maple SUGAR.

Hon. and Mrs. V. /. Spear and II. w.
Vail attended the 18th annual meeting OF
the Vermont Maple Sugar Makers associ-
alton in Burlington Monday night and
the Vermont Dairymen's meeting Tues
day.
As president of the Sugar Makers asso-
citation, Mr.. Spear made the annual adj
dress, speaking OF the difficulties with
which the maple sugar industry has had
TO contend the past five years.
''One OF the greatest obstacles has been
in the form OF the forest worm, which
pest. coupled with the very unfavorable
weather, has been extremely damaging to
both quality and quantity OF sugar pro-
duced. The speaker Ventured that few
people in the state realize how extensively
maple sugar is adulterated before reaching
customers a very small percentage OF the
sugar used outside the state being pure.
1t is also significant that the price OF the
so called maple sugar varies almost iden-
tically with that OF cane sugar and bears
no relation to the true value OF the pure
maple product. II is no crime to adulter-
ate maple sugar with any harmless mater
ial when it is not sold for the pure article,
but report comes from certain portions Of
the state to the effect that some of the
farmers in these sections 8fe using granu-
lated sugar extensively to help out the
maple sugar season and bill has been in
PRODUCED in Congress to remedy this evil.
The farmers OF Vermont were taught les
son when their cheese lost its once good
name through the use OF SKINNED milk
and just as surely the farmer who puts
dishonest maple sugar on the market will
be found out and the whole state will
have to pay the penalty"
Mr.. Spear advocated putting the maple
crop INTO syrup, which calls for less labor
and brings a higher price. "Syrup," he
said, sshas two chances on the market. II
can b. disposed OF as syrup or can be made
into sugar, while sugar must be sold for
sugar unless il Is melted over and sold for
very poor grade of syrup"
III. W. Vail was one OF the judges Of
exhibits.

A Winter Morninq.

For the earth downy blanket
Through the night the snowflake weave,
And row Of crystal pendants
Hang like fringe along the caves
On world Of wOndrOus beauty
Does the morning sun arise
And thousand diamonds sparkle
Every shere before the eyes
Not moment, though, Is wasted
On the charms Of such scene,
Where the mercury Is standing
Il about what we are keen.
And we're blind 20 all this splendor
Drink Of woe a brimming cup,
Cause the water pipes are bursting
And the sink pipes frozen up.
Hasten with the kettles boiling
With a wet hand, like a. not,
Seize the iron dOoriatch, finding
That IL feels amazing hot
Take the bubbling water quickly
Through the piled up, drifting snow,
On the troubling length pour slowly
While the Wild winds round you blow.
Then at last the plumber summon,
Who on JOY appears 20 sup
When the water pipes are bursting
And the sink pipes frozen up.
