Seven Miles Of Car Line in
the City Streets.
Company Of Leading Citizens
to Be Organized.
It's Up to Business Interests to
Start Something.
From Tuesdays Daily.

From Tuesdays Daily.
There is an entirely new deal on
foot looking to the construction OF
street car line in Mankato, and those
interested are among the most proml-
nent as well as wealthiest residents of
the city The enterprise involves not
only the construction of a street rail
way line in the city, with seven miles of
track, but an interurban line to st.
Peter, by way of Kasota. The plan
has been on foot for some time, but not
until now has it reached the point when
it can be given to the public.
A company is to be organized to be
known as the Mankato and st. Peter
Electric Railway company, the officers
of which will be w. G. Hoerr, president;
G. n. Andrews, secretary, and Fred
Kron, treasurer The directors will in
clude these gentlemen, H. E. Hance, w.
L. Hixon and several others to be Sc
lected from the business men of st.
Peter and Kasota.
The company's engineers already have
the plans and specifications for the line
and for the power house, and the blue
prints of the city streets. The next
step will be to secure the necessary
franchises and right of way, and steps
looking toward this will be taken at
once.
As soon as the organization is COM
pleted, an eastern trust company is will
ing to sign contracts. This company is
located at Philadelphia, and is COM
posed of people of great financial
strength. The carrying through of the
enterprise to a successful conclusion
will depend upon the people of Mankato,
st. Peter and Kasota, as the eastern
people make it condition to that stock
to the amount of $4,000 be taken local
ly. This ought not to be a difficult
matter The eastern people are ready to
start the minute the stock has been sub
scribed, so that the sooner this is
done the sooner the road will be built.
1t is proposed to run loop through
West Mankato, and branch into North
Mankato.
1t is the concensus of opinion of prac
teal street car men that line to St.
Peter is the only practical interurban
line for Mankato, as it connects two
thriving cities, thus insuring business
from both ends.

great a jump to go from that to

State Deputy II. w. Peterson invit-

should be held in two years at the call
of the president, some time between
Feb. 18th and March 18th, whenever
the best rates can be secured.
The committee on resolutions pre-
scented report, which was adopted.
1t recommends that surety instead of
personal bonds be given; that the SUI
preme assembly furnish blanket bond
covering all secretaries and treasurers,
each assembly to pay its portion of the
expense; that the supreme laws be
changed to permit the collecting of
more dues if desired, and that the dues
be collected quarterly instead of semi
annually. The resolutions also endorse
the wise and effective administration of
the supreme officers, and endorse the
financial plan, saying that the members
need never fear that the rates will be
too high.
The chairman suggested that the su-
preme assembly invest part of it's re-

Are You Engaged?

Engaged people should remember, that
after marriage, many quarrels can be
avoided by keeping their digestions in
good condition with Electric Bitters.
S. A. Brown of Bennettsville, S. c.,

with torpid liver, until she lost her

tried Electric Bitters, which helped her
at once, and finally made her entirely
well. She is now strong and healthy"

as a result three young fellows are now
resting in the LIE Sueur county jail For

and several arrests made on different
charges, but nothing was accomplished.

FIRST NUMBER OUT.
New Farm Journal Published BY The

Free FreSS Is a CrdCker-JdCk.
From Fridays Daily
The first number of The Western
Farmer and Dairyman, the new farm
paper which the Free Press has under
taken to publish, was issued today. 1t
is a Cracker jack" to use a common
expression, and is certainly in the lead
of farm papers published in this state,
if not in the northwest. 1t contains
thirty-two good-sized pages, brim full
of interesting matter, and with good
ly advertising patronage The publica-
ton gives evidence of careful editing
on the part of Hon. w. w. p Neon
nell, and it is bound to be popular with
all interests whose fields are covered by
it. Mr.. Mcconnell has been contrib
utor to leading agricultural journals for
years, and there is no man in the state
better qualified to take the editorial
chair on large and influential farm
journal than he.
The Western Farmer and Dairyman
will cover all fields of interest to the
farmers. 1t will be especially strong on
dairy and creamery matters, while the
poultry feature will also be well TAX
Ell care of. Live stock, bees, woman's
work, ETC., will have attention. Two
pages each month will be especially de-
voted to the woman's department, and
household receipts and patterns will
be elucidated in an up to-date manner.
There is veterinary department in
charge of DIR. r. NJ. Dodds of this city,
a successful surgeon and a ready writ
er. Other writers will contribute from
time to time, and the best thoughts will
be brought out. The leading article in
the April number is one on "The Con-
troll of Contagious Stock Diseases" by
DR.. S. H. Ward, executive officer of
the live stock sanitary board. That
friend of the farmer, the dog, will also
have page. Dr. M. B. Wood of this
city contributes an interesting article
on GA Grand Cow"
The publication is spicy, up-to-date,
full of valuable information, and will
be a monthly visitor that the farmers
cannot afford to be without. 1t will
appear the first of each month.

While some cars were being switched
in the Chicago & Northwestern yards
at four o'clock this morning several of
them got away and went down the
grade and struck an empty freight car
and cabOose standing near the south
end of the track. The cabOose was
smashed to kindling wood and thrown
down into the hole beyond the end of
the track. The empty car was also
damaged, and the trucks knocked off.
The wrecking crew cleared the track,
and both cars will be sent to the shops.
The damage amounts to about $500.
