EASTER COMES IN LATE.
Lenten Season Is Backward This Year
of 1905.


From Fridays Daily.
The year 1905 will have an unusual
ly late Easter Sunday, and cores
pondingly late Lenton season. The mat
ter of Lent being early or late is of
much consequence in social circles, for
society events must to great extent
be adjusted to avoid this period, which
is observed by so many persons with
abstinence from social pleasures.
1t has been computed that only nine
times in two and quarter centuries
has Easter fallen on as late a date as
it does this year. Only five times in the
same period has it come later in the
spring than it does during 1905, and it
is never possible for it to fall more than
two days later.
The same authority who is responsible
for the above statement to the lateness
of Easter, says that in all the time from
1856 to 20l3, Easter only twice falls
on April 25th. During this period it
comes three times on April oath and
four times on April 23d-the date this
year.
Easter this year is the latest it has
been for nineteen years. In 1886 the
occasion was celebrated on April 25th,
the latest date on which Easter ever
falls.

tor S. G.. Iverson, shows an increase
in the taxable property of the state

ed from $36,753,4 O3 in 1860, when the
records first became available. Of the
total value of all property but $l44,-
6SS,O62 is found in personal property,
the remainder being real estate.
The total taxes levied are shown to be
SIC, sos, CASH., of which $l,515, O6l.05 is

GOES TO ALBERT LEA.
Captains Reeds Mission in Mankato
Proves to be Failure.

From Thursdays Daily.
The meeting held yesterday afternoon
between President Reed of the Duluth,
st. Cloud, Glencoe & Mankato Railway
company and Directors Currier, An
drews and Bruels did not result in any
definite action being taken. Capt. Reed
stated that it was necessary to raise
$l0,500 to complete the first payment
under the terms of the contract with
+. i. Tobie & Co., and he proposed that
bonds to this amount be sold in Manka-
to and vicinity. He suggested that as
an inducement for the purchase of the
first bonds a little stock be issued to
each buyer.
The local directors did not give Capt.
Reed any encouragement, as they did
not think that the bonds could be plac-
ed. Nothing was done, and Capt. Reed
departed for Albert Lea, where he will
try to raise the money. He is confident
that when the work of construction be-
gins the bonds can be sold readily, the
present being the most critical point.
Thus far two or three bonds have
been sold, and the money paid in. IN
der the contract, two hundred will have
to be disposed of locally, along the line,
each of face value of $1,000.

A well known attorney of this city
was in Winona last summer, and had a
room at a hotel on a brick paved street.
He was awakened early in the morning
by terrible racket out in the street,
and from the sound thought that there
must be runaway. He jumped out of
bed and looked out of the window,
but all that he could see in the street
was one rig going slowly along over the
pavement. All the noise was made by it
on the hard pavement. As other teams
drove along he soon made up his mind
that he wanted no brick pavement in
his.

From Fridays Daily.
Mystery still surrounds the where
abouts of j. c.. Krenik, lie Sueur Cen
ter's missing merchant, and all hopes
of his return have vanished. Much anx-
iety was being felt by his creditors, es-
pecially those holding notes long past
due and in consequence meeting was
held yesterday afternoon for the pur-
pose of ascertaining the true amount
of assets and liabilities and taking such
steps as were possible to settlement
of the claims.
The Ecreditors and sureties were in
a manner all present, and the liabili-
ties figured and an estimate taken of
the assets. The total amount of liza
bilities aside from mortgages, is $l2,-
800, while the estimated assets are but
$4,000 The store building will prob
ably be held by Mrs. Krenik as home
stead and was not figured in the assets.
A petition of bankruptcy was drawn
against Mr.. Krenik and will be present
ed to the United States court after
which the creditors will hold a meeting
and receiver will be appointed.
The creditors are among the most
prominent men in LIE Sueur county
and tends to show the standing of Mr..
Krenik in the community. He was Civ
en- almost unlimited credit and was con-
sidered reliable.

DON'T WANT BRICK
Mankato Man Helped Lay This
Pavement in WinOna.
From Thursdays Daily.

From Thursdays Daily.
Henry C. Small of this city is prob
ably the only man in Mankato who has
had actual experience with brick pave
ment. There may be others who have
walked or ridden over it or looked at it.
but MIR. Small has helped to lay it and
to repair it. He was employed by a con-
tractor who did much of the work at
Winona, and he knows whereof he talks
when he says that the business men of
Mankato would make a mistake by put
ing it down in preference to asphalt. At
Winona, after the brick pavement had
been down two years, it was necessary
to begin the making of repairs. A
horse, standing in the gutter, stamping
flies off, would soon wear off or crush
the brick, large holes or bad spots thus
forming in comparatively short time.
These holes had to be repaired by lay
ing new brick, and the expense of labor
and material each time was from So to
81, and this was assessed to the prop
erty owners. The latter were dismayed
at this unexpected expense, and suggest
ed that the broken and Clipped brick
be used again by turning them over and
putting their smooth and unworn sur
face uppermost. This was done, and in
such cases they went to pieces much
faster than new brick, and brick turn
ed over in the spring had to be taken
out entirely in the fall and replaced with
new, so that two assessments were tax
ed up against the property owners in a
single season.
Mr.. Small states that the noise at Wi
mona was also something appalling. The
business men had to remove their tele-
phones to the rear of their buildings, and
often had to buy booths for them, SINH
lar to those used at pay stations. This
was expensive for the business men. Peo-
