LOOKING FOR LETTER WRITER
Winona Man Is Annoyed By Some Fell
low Unknown.

Winona, Nov! IA reward of 500
has been offered by Peter Bub, the well
known brewer for the arrest and con.
viction of the person who sent him
through the mail a scurrilous communi-
cation making entirely unwarranted re-
Elections on Mr.. Bulbs father, who died
a natural death ffty-eight years ago,
and ascribing to Mr,IBub an act that
all who know him would know he would
never even consider let alone attempt.
Mr.. Bub has been a resident of Winona
since 1868, and his reputation is too
well established for any anonymous
communica ton like this to- do him the
least harm. His numerous friends will
hope that he can succeed in locating
and furnishing the author of the letter,
which being addressed to Mr.. Bub, runs
as follows:
''Mr. Bub, how did the rope feel? l
didn't think you were such fool as to
try to hang yourself. Whenever one
goes in the city the first thing you hear
is: DO you know that old Bub tried
to hang himself? The father did it,
so the son can do it too And at that
you want to put on airs and plant
your Polander son-inlaw on Broadway
between all the rich, who laugh at you,
especially now where the father want
ed to hang himself"
. Before making the matter public Mr..
Bub endeavored privately to discover
the author of the letter, but failing in
this he has come out and made the pub
lie offer of reward. Ihe offense is ag-
gravated by the fact that before the
letter was sent rumors to the same pur-
port were put into circulation.

States and Challenges Dixon.

Macon, Ca, Nov. 27.-Bishop Henry
NJ. Turner, the leading bishop in the
African Methodist church, made an i'm
FASHIONED attack upon the government

declared Bishop Turner. "No man hates
this nation more than | do. When | 90

to get to the place where | am willing
for God to allow the United States SUI

"The negro will never be anything in

ELECTION IS POSTPONED.
Board of Trade President Will Be
Chosen in January.


From Mondays Daily.
Election of president of the Board
of Trade to succeed George Pond whose
resignation was accepted at this morn
ing's session of the organization, was
laid over until the annual election in
January. NJ. G: Willard suggested that
the board select man for the position
who will attend the meetings and take
an interest in the affairs of the board
and the city. Such man is preferable
to one who is at the head of some eX-
tensive mercantile or manufacturing es-
tablishment and yet would not interest
himself in the organization. j. E. Rey-
nolds and others made remarks per-
tanning to the presidency.
w. A. Fumk's motion to proceed with
the election of president was lost.
Secretary Taylor announced that seas
has been collected for the buttermak-
ers' and dairymen's convention. Up to
date $500 has been paid over to each
organization, and it is expected that the
balance will be used by the dairymen
to forward their convention to be held
Dec. II, l3 and IA. What incidental
expenses arise will be attended to by
the committee, so Mr.. Lukenheimer in
formed Secretary Taylor.
Secretary Taylor stated that $4,000
was turned over to the teachers asso-
citation in payment for a reception and
other expenses incidental to the con-
vention.
The president was instructed to name
a committee of two to look after &C
commodations for visitors to the dairy
mems convention.
The committee on entertainment was
authorized to make arrangements to
give the dairymen drive about the
city if the weather permits. Also the
committee may prepare a program for
Wednesday evening Dec. 49, There will
be an attraction at Mankato Theatre
on that night, and no doubt many of
the visitors will prefer to attend it.
Thomas Hughes informed the board
that the Minneopa park matter was
still in the hands of the attorney gen
eral who was engaged in preparing the
papers of transfer.

Dalmaria, situated on the Adriatic sea-.
He left there in 1859, during the Aus
TRAN and French war, to avoid military
CONSUMPTION. The Italian army had oc-
cupied the territory and was conscript-
ing the youth of the land into the army,
that would be used to fight their own
countrymen, and rather than do this he
went abroad. He visited various parts
of Europe and Asia, and finally arrived
at London, England, where he took pas
sage to Auckland, New Zealand 1t was
while on board of this ship that he be-
came acquainted with Miss Anna Dab
ner. Friendship ripened into affection,
and the couple were married after the
arrival of the ship at Auckland, the eX-
act date of their nuptials being Au-
gust 10th, 1866.
Mr.. and Mrs. Vranizan left Auckland
in April, 1873, and arrived in San Fran
cisco the following June, on the United
States steamer Nebraska" They jour-
neyed east to Lacrosse, Wis, where Mr..
Vranizan engaged in business. They
moved to Rochester, Mimi, in 1876, and
to Mankato ten years later, and contin7
ued to make Mankato their home. Three
daughters were born to them, two of
whom died in early womanhood, Miss
Pauline and Mrs. Grove Z. johnson. The
third is Mrs. w. G. Hoerr, who, with her
mother, survive her father
Mr.. Vranizan was on the road for
fourteen years, but retired from active
work twelve years ago. Two years ago
he travelled around the world for the
second time, retracing the steps taken
on his first journey. He visited his
brother in New Zealand, who is engaged
in mining, and who has visited in Man
kato. From there he went to Europe,
and once fore breathed the air of Lon
don. 1t was there that he was taken
sick, and was obliged to enter hospital.
He never fully recovered from that i'll
ness, but gradually failed.
Mr.. Vranizan was a member of the
Masonic lodge, and was a Knight Temp
lar. He at one time filled the position
of eminent commander. His remarkable
memory enabled him to be of great as
sistance in the work of the lodges to
which he belonged. 1t also enabled him
to retain vivid impressions that he gain
ed in his journeying about the world
and he was fluent conversationalist
1t was a pleasure to listen to his ac-
counts of his travels.
The deceased was an excellent neigh
Dor, a kind friend, dutiful husband and
fond and indulgent parent. All who
knew him honored him and he was held
in such general respect that his death
is felt as a personal loss by all. The
city has lost a public spirited citizen
and one who was loyal in every way
The sorrowing relatives will have the
sympathy of all in their loss.
Funeral services will be held at tn,

With Masonic Rites.
From Mondays Daily.

P L. Vranizan, one of the best known
citizens of Mankato, died at his home,
III Hanover street, at $3.50 o'clock last
