raigned in police court today He was
charged with drunkenness, first offense
under the state law, and pleaded guilty.

been visiting since October last
The court: "You have no business to
waste your time and money in drunk

AN ADVANTAGE IS GAINED.
Mankato Wholesalers Can Reach This
Territory Much Earlier With Their
Goods Than Heretofore.

To better accommodate the jobbing
trade of this city, the Chicago, Great
Western has changed the time of the de
parture of its local freight from . p. m
to 2 p. m. Under the new arrangement
the Mankato jobber will be able to de-
liver goods to his customer on the same
day that the order is received instead
of the following morning which will give
him a decided advantage over the twin
city jobber in the territory tributary to
Mankato.
This arrangement is one which the
Mankato iobbers have been endeavoring
to secure for some time, and that the
change has now been made as they de-
sire, it will no doubt enable them to con
siderably increase their business in this
territory, which means much to Manka-
to, a fact which will not be overlook
ed by those benefited.

Some Diplomacy Is Needed at
The Present Stage.
BUCKS PROPOSAL QUITE FAIR
Reserves But Comparatively Small
Strip of Ground; Situation As 1t
Appears at Present.
From Tuesdays Daily.

From Tuesdays Daily.
The critical stage seems to have been
at last. reached, when it must be decided
whether or not Minneopa Falls and the
surrounding grounds are TO be made into
a park owned by the state. By a combi-
nation of very fortunate circumstances
a bill was passed by the legislature
appropriating $4,000 for the purpose of
buying the necessary land The meas
ure was opposed by the state park com
mission and by the park and appropriations
committees of the legislature, and by
the attorney general and other state
officials. 1t still has their opposition,
and should time pass by without the
park having been bought, it is every
way likely that the next legislature will
repeal the bill making the appropriation,
as other sections of the state are not
willing that any particular section be
singled out for so signal favor as
this has been.
The owners of the property wanted
have now given their consent to the sale
of the property at Il figure within that
named by the legislature, and it is up to
carrying out of the deal. The united
report of the Board of Trade commit
teeswould undoubtedly influence him to
close the deal at once. but if part of the
committee favors the closing of the deal
and part presents minority report in
opposition to it the attorney general
may decide to wash his hands of the
matter and let it 90 by Tie board. At
this juncture the existence of the state
park is at stake, and only the eXer-
else of a spirit of concession on all
hands and good Judgment will secure it.
c. n. Andrews, member of the com
mittee, states that the land which Mr.
Buck agrees to sell is all that is needed
to perfect the park. 1t includes nearly
all the wooded slope, and what it does
not include Mr. Buck binds himself and
his heirs to maintain in wooded state
Several eminences are secured. Mr.. Buck
was DESTROYS of retaining the eminence
furthest from the park, so that he might
erect new farm buildings there in a
commanding position, that would overlook
|
the park His idea is to make an ideal
farm of what land he retains. He was
at all times perfectly willing to sell the
balance to the state, and was fair in
his proposals. The full committee had
not met with him until yesterday.
Mr. Andrews feels strongly that the
proposition made by Mr. Buck should
be accepted and the matter closed at once,
before it is too late and the park is
lost. He feels that all want the park.
and that the land desirable for park pur-
poses has been secured, except for the
exchanging of the title
