MADISON LAKE BREEZES
Notes From Mankato's Popular Sum-
mer Resort.
LII n.r Ilnil

fTOHH rIluoiy Detiy'
Madison Lake is beginning to get its
summer crowds. Mankato people daily
90 there in numbers. and bring back
some of the great stock of the tinny
tribe that is contained in the lake. But
not all of the Mankato people who 60
there devote their time to fishing.
There are some who prefer boating, and
the numerous sailing craft and motor
boats testify to this. Others go there
simply to gain rest and recreation such
as can be gotten without going upon
the water
The little village of Point Pleasant
will soon be occupied, and some of the
cottages are even now filled. MIR. and
Mrs. George B. Owen are spending the
summer there very costly, and MIR. and
Mrs. Chas H. Hornburg Jr. have erect
ed neat cottage and are there for the
summer.
Among the improvements on the
point, one of the most noticeable Is a
large boat house erected by Ed. and
Frank Brett for their launch.
The storm Saturday did more damage
than the ice did, and hardly a boat
house in the bay but what shows the
effects of it, and several of the piers
were swept away. Storms from the east
have been very rare at the lake, but
that of Saturday has made business for
the carpenters. The Patterson sail boat
was sunk at its moorings, and other
craft were beaten about by the fury
of the wind and waves. Mr.. Owen and
his son, Edgar, who is spending the sum-
mer with him, rendered valuable aid
in saving property during the storm.
The lake is two and a half feet high
er than it was last summer, and is as
high as it ever was in the days when the
Indians roamed its shores. This is partly
accounted for by the filling up of the
outlet and the bridging of it with a six
foot stone span, which is said to be in.
sufficient to let the water out readily.
Fishing was never better there, and
almost everybody had done well. Conduc
tor Smith and a son of Conductor Hughes
fishing Wednesday afternoon and yes
terday, caught fifteen fine black bass,
the largest weighing five and half
pounds.
Officer Frank BienapH and wife and
Wenzel Bienaph and wife spent yester-
dav at the lake and returned with about
all the fish they could carry. w. G. p.
Smith and son went out on the after
noon train and caught nice sackful,
nearly all of them after 1870 o'clock.
A son of Landlord Zimmerman of the
Heinrich also got nice lot.
The improvement at the depot is a
commendable one. The depot has been
moved nearer the street, and pavilion
constructed, and a brick paved platform
put down. Everything is much more
convenient now.
| Mr.. and Mrs. Lowerth of Mankato
are conducting a restaurant on the main
street. They have conducted it for a
month and will remain during the sum
mer. Nix. Lowerth also does a real es-
tate business.
The Lamm cottages on the east side of
the lake were completed today, and will
soon be occupied.
Madison Lake village is looking neat
and trim. 1t has number of good
stores and many nice residences, with
well kept lawns.

Mrs. Robert Grice is quite sick and

land is so wet and cold farmers cannot
get onto the land to drag their fields.

dating official and has given good sat
isfaction while on this route.

Conceded That Senator Eber-
hart Is Strongest Man.
HE HAS A GOOD RECORD.
Minneapolis Late in the Day, Spring.
ing the Candidacy Of W. S.
DwinneII Of That City.



Discussing the question of lieutenant
governor, editorially, The Minneapolis
Journal of yesterday attempts to
launch the boom of w. S. Dwinnell of
Minneapolis for lieutenant governor.
While The Free Press readily comedies
that Mr.. Dwinnell is all that The
Journal claims for him, it seems
strange that Minneapolis, after present
ing at least three other candidates for
state office and after giving out the
impression that the fifth district was
not after the lieutenant governorship
this year, should now enter another
candidate for that office also, and there
by precipitate further trouble in the
convention.
Since Senator Eberhart of this city
has been so prominently mentioned in
connection with this office and has re-
ceived so many assurances of support
that he cannot do otherwise than per-
nit his name to 90 before the Duluth
convention, The Free Press, in fair
ness to him, desires to remind The Jour
nal that, as to qualifications he possess
es every one attributed to Mr.. Dwinnell.
This The Journal is well aware of, and
knows also that in addition to this SEN
ator Eberhart has the best possible rec
ord in the legislature on practically ev
cry issue in the coming campaign. and
bearing in mind the truth of The Jour
nails assertion, that the office of lieu
tenant governor is of the greatest i'm
portance and that it should 90 to a
man who will not influence legislation
bv the appointment of committees in
favor of special interests, it becomes
of the utmost Importance to know where
the candidate stands on these special
interests, and the record of Senator
Eberhart on these questions is worth
far more than any preconvention
pledges. Mainly through the efforts Of
Senator Eberhart certain amendments
to the railroad and warehouse law were
adopted by the past session, so as to
give Minnesota one of the best and most
complete laws on this subject possessed
by any state in the union and his fight
for better public highways resulted in
the establishment of the highway COM
mission. which has already demonstrate
ed its value to the entire state by dis
seminating pubic information as to
the proper construction and mainten-
ance of highways
The makers of the republican ticket
should not forget that there will be a
contest for the election of governor, and
the ticket should be so made up, as to
make it impossible for the democratic
party to arouse any nationality feeling
against it. Unless the ticket is well
balanced this will undoubtedly be done
Senator Eberhart, as well as Mr.. OWN
nell, is good campaigner, but the larg-
er acquaintance of the former through
out the state would enable him to do
more affective work where work is need
ed.
Although Senator Eberhart has been
brought into this contest rather unwill-
ingly as he can go back to the senate
without opposition, he is unquestion-
ably the strongest man, and the Duluth
convention will make a serious mistake
if it should not give him the nomination.

JOE BADLY ROASTED.

A severe and seorching arraign-
ment of Speaker Cannon was made
in congress Saturday by Representa-
tive Shaekleford of Missouri. which
created sensation of no little pro-
portions.
A bill permitting the leasing of
$4,000 acres of arid lands in La
Plata county, Colorado. to the p.
F. U. rubber company was under
discussion.
Mr.. Shakleford OF Missouri was
given permission to discuss the bill
and began to criticise Speaker Canon
regarding the state nod question. He
was stopped before he had proceed
ed far and the objection was fatal to
further consideration of the bill. Be
fore referring to the statehood mat
ter. Mr.. Shackeleford had arisen to say
about the manner in which Mr.
Brooks got his bill up:

nized until he had first surrender

tion contemplated ithat the speaker

defiance of the constitution you have
made yourself its master. You have
packed every committee so that no
bills can be reported without your
consent. Unless you are willing, no
member can move to discharge a
committee from the consideration of
a bill and take it up in the house.
