RELATIONSHIP EXPLAINED.
Connection of Or. Koch to the Bertha
Murd srer Is Remote.
From Fridays Daily.

l.
1t was wrongly stated by a CORE
spondent at New Ulm of The Minneap-
oils Journal that Samuel Sable, who
served sentence in the penitentiary
for taking the life of David Steinbach in
horrible manner near the village of
Bertha in Todd county in the early his
tory of the state was brother of
Mrs. E. G. Koch, mother of DR.. Geo. r.
Koch, who is under Indictment on the
Gerbhard murder charge. 1t is true,
however, that step-sOn of half
brother of Dr.. Koch's grandfather had a
quarrel with another man in the north
ern part of the state and killed him. He
pleaded lf-defense and received short
sentence in the penitentiary. The rela-
tionship between this homicide and DIR.
Koch is extremely remote, and it seems
wrong to try to draw from it any evil
dence as to the character of the blood
from which DR.. Koch sprung.
Mrs. B. Bangerter, ST.. of Mankato is
a sister of Dr. Koch's mother. There
were two other sisters and brother
who died in infancy.

st. Peter Is Greatly Interested
in the Enterprise.
Machinery of Collins Corpora
ton Brought Into Action.
Board of Directors Chosen at a
Meeting Yesterday.

From Tuesdays Daily.
Onee.more the air is filed with the
buzz of the conversation over pros
pective street ear line, and people are
beginning once more to see in their
minds eye the huge metallic vehicles
whizzing along their tracks on the
streets of AIankato.
The old corporation organized by the
Collins people is still in existence and
its legal machinery is to be used, rath-
er than organize a new company. The
Mankato and st. Peter Railway and
Lighting company is the name of that
body and will continue to be its name.
Yesterday afternoon stockholders
meeting was held in the office of c. n.
Andrews, for the purpose of getting the
company into shape for action. Some
of the old directors resigned and new
ones were elected in their place. The
seven, and that board now stands as
follows: ". G. Hoerr, Fred Kron, W..
L. Hixon, Henry E. Hance and c. n.
Andrews, all of Mankato, and Philip
Dick and Judge w. G. Gresham, both of
st. Peter.
The directors will hold a meeting this
week to perfect their organization and
60 ahead with the project for which
they were elected.
At the next meeting of the city coun-
ell, this company will ask for twenty
year franchise. The form of the ordi-
nance has already been drawn up, and
needs only the ratification of the city
dads. The terms are substantially the
same as those that were granted to the
same company before. The right to lay
tracks in Mankato covers all of its
streets except Second from Vine to By
ron, Broad from Vine to Lincoln, and
Fourth from Mulberry to Warren. When
the street is paved the company must
pave between its tracks.
1t is planned as before to run a line
to st. Peter via Kasota and another to
North MankatO.
People living along the line and 9th
ers interested are expected to purchase
bonds in the amount of $4,000 to get
the enterprise started. As soon as rails
are laid, it will be easy enough to sell
the secured bonds. The first bonds are
to be unsecured, but will be replaced
with secured bonds later on. A trust
company in Philadelphia has signified
tits readiness to buy enough of the

secured bonds to put the road through,
lust as soon as the work is so far pro-
crossed that the trust company is as
snred of it's being carried out. The
idea is to sell enough of the unsecur-
ed bonds to give the affair good start.
Then it will be an easy matter to sell
what secured bonds need be sod and
replace the unsecured bonds with secur-
cod ones.
Such are the conditions stated in the
circular that is to be presented for
signatures to parties who may be VIII
ing to buy the unsecured bonds. 1t is
proposed to sell the unsecured bonds
at par upon the agreement and condi-
ton that when the loan made on the
pledge of the secured bonds shall have
been paid, and said bonds released there
from, holders of the unsecured bonds
snail be entitled to receive in exchange
therefor, secured bonds of the same
amount par value as the unsecured
bonds held by them. The total amount
that the company proposes to issue in
secured bonds is $250,00O.
Those who take the unsecured bonds
will pay one quarter of the amount
when one mile of track is laid in Man
kato, another fourth when five miles of
track are laid, another fourth when
all the track is laid and the balance
when the road is in operation, pro-
vided the same is i'm operation within
one year from May l and work on the
same is commenced within three months
from said date in good faith.
Encouraging reports regarding the pro-
iect have come from st. Peter. The pro-
jectors nave received the best of treat
ment of looking into the situation
there and have been given assurances
that st. Peter will be ready to sub.
scribe for good share of the bonds an |
will grant all the necessary franchise
rights.
Some of the Hance- HiXon people
have been heard to remark that they
have been holding back in the hope that
the Willard project would develop into
something, but have concluded it is
time for themselves to be doing some
thing.

ALLOWANCE is TOO SMALL.
State Food Department Crippled for
Want of Funds.


Want Of Funds.
From Mondays Daily.
Members of the state dairy and food
department fear the small appropriation
allowed by the state will be insufficient
to prosecute the work of the department
for the next two years.
''In looking into the final condition of
the state dairy and food department, y
said w. w. Wall, secretary of the de-
partment, 81 find that the March eX-
penditures were $4,2SO and that the
balance to our credit is only $S,SS5.72,
which at the average rate of monthly
expenditure will last until about June
10. Our receipts from fines since Aug
ust | amount to $2,59O.S0. These fines
are for eight months, so that during the
next four months we cannot reasonably
expect more than $1,000.
"The dairy and food commission
should be allowed an annual appropria-

monthly expenditures amount to about
s., 900 or $4,000 annually.
''The expenditures for the last bien-
NAL period exceeded the appropriation
by nearly $4,000, so that our request
for an appropriation of $4,000 is deem
ed necessary to conduct the inspection
of 900 creameries and cheese factories
the dairies of the state and the food
work in the eightytwo counties.
"The department was established
twenty years ago and the low salaries
then established still prevail. In no de-
partment of the state government arc
the salaries so low. The house commit
tee on public health recommended the
S42,0 900 appropriation and the following
increase in salaries; Commissioner al
increase from $4,000 to $780,; chemist
an increase from $500 to $1,000; sec
rotary, $1,000 to $500.

work than any similar department il
