TAX on INHERITANCEs.
State Auditor Explains Some Things
to Probate judges.

From Mondays Daily.
S. G. Iverson, state auditor, has sent
a circular letter to judges of probate
courts, calling attention to the new
state inheritance tax and its provisions
and asking cooperation in its enforce
ment.
The circular gives information that
hereafter all inheritances and gifts
in excess of $4,000 are subject to tax
as follows: Over $4,000 and less than
$4,000, lH per cent; over $4,000 and
less than 100000, per cent; 100000
or over, 5 per cent.
Probate judges are asked to note that
no tax can be computed except where
the, amount is over $4,000 for each in
heritance. For instance, eff an estate
amounts to $4,000 divided equally
among five heirs, then no tax can be i'm.
posed. If an estate amounts to $780,
600 divided equally among five heirs, the
tax would apply to $4,000 on each."

The "no preferences entries are only
about per cent of the whole, and a
large proportion of these are students
and boarders. No attempt was made to
get church membership or church at
tendance, but the census shows in a
striking way the hold which the church
as an institution has upon Mankato
people. Beside the regular city church
es, the following preferences were indi-

to the different churches according to
the preferences indicated. Where more
than one preference is given tine card
has been duplicated. The great object
of the census was to get track of stray
families not known to the pastors. This
has been accomplished. If the churches
follow up the census, as they undoubt
edly will, the work put on it will be
many times repaid.
The committee wishes to thank the
people of the city for the courtesy
shown. 1t wishes also to thank the
census takers for their willing, pains
taking, tactful work. Probably sixty
persons were engaged in the actual can

illinois Central Interest in Pro-
posed New Line.

From Mondays Daily.
The route of the new railroad out
of Albert Lea has been determined. 1t
will be parallel to the Minneapolis 4
st. Louis track for distance of about
four miles, says The Albert Lea Times.
At the Vandergraft farm it diyerges to
the west and passes through the Sippel,
Flindt, Rebbe, Henry Rafoth and other
farms to Freeborn village. This route
will require about the same grading and
filling and will be some 500 feet longer
than either of the other lines that were
run to the north end of Whites lake
but the right-of way will be cheaper,
it is estimated. This line runs directly
through the yard site of the new brick
and tile plant which is already too
small rather than too large. 1t is un-
derstood that Mr.. Rusfeldt will object
seriously to this and an effort will be
made to run either south of the brick
and tile yards or inside the rignt-of-
way of the NJ. & st. L. railway.
Buying the Right-ofWay.
Messrs. Fisher and Bruels have been
at work for some time past bargaining
for the right of way around Freeborn
They state that they have purchased it
for about mile and half near the
village. w. H. Miller, an influential
farmer of Freeborn township, is under
stood to be aiding them. All three gen
tlemen came here this week and will
work out from here. They hope to eff
feet settlements with most of the prop
erty owners if not all without being
forced to resort to condemnatio pro-
ceedings.
Construction Commences in Two Weeks.
Z. l.. Tobie, G. NJ Moran and their
two engineers are still at work each
day in the survey of the route. They
have completed the first four miles
through the hills near the city which is
ny laT Ihe HlosI ulliculI part oI lHelr

the neighborhood of Freeborn going a
mile or more to the northwest of the
village. They expect to complete the

there they will 90 on to Vivian in Wa

matter will be appealed to the supreme
court. Mrs. Maria Sheeran of Mapleton
died, leaving property, valued at about
$4,000, to her daughter in-law, Mrs.

HAY RACK PINNED HIM DOWN
Ernest Jacobshagen Injured Durinq
Wind Storm Few Days Ago.

FROM Tuesdays Daily.
Ernest Jocobshagen, one of the very
old settlers of this community, having
some here in 1854, and now having
reached the uncommon age of seventy
eight, was badly injured last Thursday
morning at his home on the Pohl road
two and half miles south of the city.
On the night before occurred that
fierce windstorm, by which the hay
rack, for feeding cattle, was overturn-
ed. Mr.. Jacobshagen and his son were
attempting to set the rack up, and as
the old man held it, the son went to
fetch some props. A sudden gust of
wind blew the apparatus over upon the
father, pinning him to the ground. The
injured man is now confined to his bed
with hurt back, and is unable to move
without great pain.

Mankato Not Asked For Bonds.
All the towns interested in the con-
struction of the road have now voted on
bond PRESCRIPTIONS except Albert Lea
and Mankato. Vivian was the last to
vote and Tuesday defeated bonds by
about fifty majority. Apparently the
people there thought it unnecessary to
vote the $1,000 asked. The following
towns have issued bonds either recently
or at the time the previous survey was
made which were so framed that they
still hold good: Freeborn, $4,000;
Freedom, $S,OOO; Mcpherson, $4,000;
and Medo, 800 in all $4,000 Albert
Lea is to be asked for $4,000 bonus as
soon as the company's attorneys, Nor
gan & Meighen amend the petition and
rcfile it with the city clerk. AS yet
| Nankato has not been asked for bonds
nor is it likely that it will be. When
asked why Mankato is not to be asked
to contribute Mr.. Fisher stated that it
is understood that city is already bond
ed to the limit allowed by law. AL
bert Lea is nearly so.
Illinois Central Interest.
1t has become settled conviction
in the minds of those wno have observed
the preliminary work of laying the new
road that the line to Mankato is be-
ing built by or for the Illinois Central
road. This conviction is general in
Albert Lea and at Mankato and among
employees of the Central and at points
along its route like Waterloo it is COM
mon talk that the Central is building
into Mankato. One man expressed it
thus: at is absolutely ridiculous to
think that anyone would attempt to es-
tablish an independent line of only fifty
miles trackage from here to Mankato.
1t would not last a month" The pre-
diction is made that no car or engine
will ever run bearing the name Duluth,
st. Cloud, Glencoe & Mankato railway.
Captain Reed who is now generally con-
sidered to be a mere figure head in the
building operations is conspicuous by
his absence now that the votes on bonds
have been taken and the work of the
right -ofway men is well under way
