at the meeting we are certain
that the election will carry in
favor of the issuance of the
bonds. 1t would never do to
turn back or dispose of the plant
to outsiders. but the town must
complete and own it. With the
electric light plant now paying
a handsome profit on the in
vestment and the waterworks
plant in full operation we feel
safe in predicting that the rate
of taxes for the city will be re-
duced several points below ten
mills. The election should carry
for the issuance of the bonds.
] We learn that there will be change
in the local freight service on the
Mobile & Ohio road and that switch
engine will be used to make up trains
at Tup9lo. To an outsider this has ap-
peared to be necessity a long time.
Travel on a local freight is the most
unsatisfactory of all modes-walking
not excepted. Speaking of local
freights reminds us of a story we
heard once on the Old Reliable A To-
cal conductor nearing the end of his
run called on an old gray-bearded ma
for his ticket, who answered the conn
ductor by telling him that he had star
ted with him when he brought his train
out. The conductor replied that there
was only small boy on the train when
he came out. Yes said the old man

Sixth Ward Shows a Failing
Off; First No Increase. :
Second and Fourth, on Other
Hand, Show Gains.
Six Special Enumerators Get
Their Instructions.
From Mondays Daily.

From Mondays Daily.
The result of the census is apt to
be somewhat disappointing unless full
count can be had. The population of the
city by wards, in 1900, as shown by the
federal census, was as follows: First
1904; second, 2,O53; third, l,572; fourth
l,7s7; fifth, 2,lO6; sixth, 997; total, TO-
500.
In order to show up with popula-
ton of 10000, as everybody is sure that
Mankato hasa gain of 235 persons
to the ward should be shown, on the av-
erage. The present indications are that
this will not be the case. The count
in the sixth ward has been completed
and the enumerators found but 965
people, which is a falling off of 32
While it is probably true that the ward
has not gained in population in the
same ratio that the other wards have,
as shown by the limited number, of new
houses put up by, the vote. still it un-
doubtedly has more than held its own.
The count in the first ward is nearly
complete, and the enumerator estimates
that it will show about the same fig
ure as five years ago. He is positive
that there has been gain in the pop
ulation of 200 to 300 during this time
which could leave but one conclusion
and that it is the count was padded
two years ago. If this was SO, it would
account for failure to show a gain this
year. Padding is uniustifable at any
time, and should not be resorted to, but
every person who should lawfully be
credited to this city should be, count
ed.
The count in the second ward is pref
ty well along, and if the increase thus
far shown is maintained, the ward will
show a gain of from 100 to l50 over
five years ago. In the fourth ward the
emmerator also states that there is
a gain. The same should be true of the
fifth ward in a larger degree, while
the third ought to also show up with
a small gain, it would seem.
The aldermen nave appointed the fol-
lowing special enumerators to assist the
regular enumerators in making the
count: First ward, A. Almquist; Sec
ond, F. N. Sanger; third, w. H.
Klughertz; fourth F. H. Phelps; fifth,
E. NJ. Call; sixth, F. E. Barnard.
The special enumerators met at the
office of Senator Eberhart this morning
and received their instructions. They
were told to follow up the regular emu
merators and get any names that might
not have been reported to the latter
or any parties overlooked. ANY names
secured in this manner will be handed to
the enumerators with the request that
they verify the information and add the
names to their lists. The special emu
merators were asked to take block
at time and do their work system
matieally and thoroughly. They are not
to get ahead of the regular enumerator.
