w. H. FINLEY REAPP0lNIED.
Goes Back to His Old Position With
the Chicago g. Northwestern.

w. H. Finley, late of the Widell-Fin-
ley company, has been appointed to his
old position of assistant chief engineer
of the Chicago & Northwestern road, ac-
cording to a circular just issued by that
road. Mr.. Finley is an able engineer,
and General Widell speaks very highly
of his ability. Mr.. Finley is one of the
best in the railroad business.
General Widell states that the only
cause of the failure of the company was
in not having enough money to carry
on the business.
General Widell hal been promised con-
tract work if he can obtain his quarry
again, and the prospects are that great
deal of work will be done the present
year Mankato can hardly afford to
have the big quarry lie idle, when sew
eral hundred men might be drawing
good wages The men are getting un-
easy, and it is be hoped that some
way can be found whereby General Wi
dell can operate the quarry again, as in
years apast. ;TIe isoonfg of the best
QUARTS operators in1 tho country, and
has the confidence of the railroads.

FLOATING DEBT REDUCED.
Sinking Fund Commission Pays Off
S1,S17 in Notes Today.

ioii NOiiuoty bdliS.
The sinking fund commission, COM
posed of Mayor Taylor, AID Schroeder.
Treasurer Bennett and Recorder Hodapp.
held a meeting this afternoon, and took
up four of the notes that 90 to make
up the floating indebtedness. The
notes taken up were the following:
Bradley note, No. 22O, $500; Mrs. Dan
iels note. No. 233, $500; Joslyn note, No.
22S, $5l7.50; Schiller lodge note, No. 23S,
$500. This wipes out all of the notes
bearing seven per cent interest, the re-
mainder bearing six per cent.
The floating Indebtedness before this
action was taken was 81 ,423.03, and the
amount taken up today was $l,Sl750,
thus reducing the debt to $5,605.53, or
but ten per cent of what it was few
years ago. 1t is to be hoped that the
balance can be wiped out inside of a
year. The notes paid off today draw
about $l30 year interest.
The money used today in reducing the
debt was taken from the bills payable
and sinking funds. SSH from the for
mer and $1,000 from the latter. There
will be more money in these funds al

McCleary's DOGGY Man"

Representative McCleary has started
DOGGY man on trip over the second
district This would-be scarecrow is
in the shape of Hessians who are dis
tributing large sums of money to be
used for the avowed purpose of defeat
ing The schoolmaster for denomination.
Strange as it may seem there are a
few people who believe this fairy tale,
this extract from the spipe," the result
of too much dope" They are really
of the opinion that residents of Ger
many are ''fussing round with view
to taking an active interest in the ante
primary campaign in this district But
to the majority the suggestion borders
on the ridiculous.
Now what reason have the Germans
to concern themselves over the congress
sional nomination in this district? To
the thinking man there is none that has
the resemblance of FEASIBILITY. The
people of the Fatherland We're not fear
full that McCleary's retaliatory tariff
bill would pass congress. They knew
the temper of congress respecting this
unwise measure, and were satisfied that
the American people did not wish to
peatedly stated, while Representative
McCleary was busily engaged in framing
up his twenty-five per cent increase bill.
Secretary of State Root and the Ger
man ambassador We're at work in a dip
lomatic and friendly way, hoping to eff
feet better trade relations than ever be-
tween the two nations. What they
achieved is matter of history. The re-
suits are far beyond their own eNpec-
lions. They are the happy outcome Of what
promised to be a serious, complication.
But Secretary Roots diplomacy succeed
ed in staving off the, Threatened trou-
BILE. So there is nothing upon which to
base the story >, that the. BBserlinerS, are
going to- send-tLeiI representative. into
this neck o. the woods for the ''crueP'
purpose of scalping our friend, 'Your
Congressman" The whole story is a
Joke. so humorous that it causes smile
to play up and down the features of
those who have a friendly feeling for
Mr.. McCleary. At the same time they
lament the Iact that their idol has been
reduced to the extremity of framing up
such yarns for the purpose of gaining
sympathy from the people.
But what else could you expect
His newspapers, edited by postmast-
ers failed in their efforts to convince
the public that the .congressmandreceiv
ed promotion so far oasI house commit
tee assignments were concerned, and
their work having met the same fate
when they set about to try to convince
the second districtites that Mr.. Nc
Cleary's bill was the cause of Germany
making tariff concessions to this coun-
try, some other wire must be pulled
in order that the support of the peo-
pie should be directed in his behalf But
the story is such a palpable fake that
hardly anyone takes stock in it. The
yarn is another one of Mr.. McCleary's
rescourceful devices to curry favor with
his constituents, hoping that they will
rally to his support and lambaste the
Hessians.

TWO INVENTIONS.
North Mankato Man Gets Patents on
Ingenius Devices.

FROM TUESDAY S Dally.
Mr. Butler of North Mankato yester-
day received notice that he had been
granted a patent upon railroad tie that
he has invented, and which he believel
will prove of great value to the rail.
roads. 1t is an iron tie, to supercede the
wooden ties now in use, and which is
expected to save the cost of frequent re-
newals,. and to hold the rails so firmly
that they cannot spread and thus cause
accidents. The rails are fastened to the
tie by a very simple device.
Mr. Butler has also secured patent
upon clothes reel and line which he
claims has superior advantages. He has
given a great deal of time and thought
to his devices, and it is to be hoped that
he viii realize web upon them.

The community was saddened by the
sudden death of Mrs. T. S. Dunning

She had been in poor health for some

OMAHA MAY BUILD SOUTH.
Prospects of an Extension of MadeIia.
Fairmont Branch.

From tuesdays Daily.
To the minds of many there are in
dications that the Omaha company will
build on south from this place next
spring. A few days ago a car load OF
new ties fresh from the northern woods
were unloaded at this place. The rail
way men say the ties are not needed
for repairs and all they know about it
is that they were ordered to unload and
pile them up here.
At the time the road was built the
track was laid thrcagh the corporation
mile south of the depot. The right of
way was then donated through the city.
A survey was also carefully made on
south into Iowa, how far or where 1T
ended no one appears to know.-Fair-

Limits the Stationery Supplies.

Another section of the code that calls
for a liberal construction is the one linn
itmg each county office to 500 year
for books, stationery and furniture.
When it comes to supplying tax books,
ledgers and other records, 500 will not
go far. This section will probably be
construed to limit the expense to 500
for stationery, furniture and books not
used as public records. There is pro-

cover the buying of books for record

VOTING MACHINES ASUCCESS
St. Paul People Pleased With the
Rapid Counting Devices.

st. PauPs first experience with voting
machines has proven an unqualified sue
cess, says The Dispatch. The returns
from the fourth precinct of the eighth
ward, where one machine was installed.
were telephoned to headquarters in six
minutes after the polls closed. The
other machine was in the fourth pre-
cinct of the Seventh ward and from
this the retuns came to hand in seven
minutes.
Assemblyman f. H. Whitcomb, as the
principal advocate for the trial of the
machines, is delighted with the results
| which a practical trial have shown.
He registered his vote in twentyfour
seconds and one voter in the Seventh
ward required even less time, emerging
in just eighteen seconds from the time
| he passed behind the curtain. The aver
age time required to vote was consid
erably less than minute and the vot-
ers easily mastered the knack of hand
| ling the mechanism.
| Some mistakes were made, one voter
trying to vote by marking crosses OPP
posite the names as indicated on the
machine, but in the vast majority of
instances, no difficulty whatever was ex'
perienced in coaching the voters how to
/ register their vote.
Had voting machines been installed in
all the III precincts in the city the full
returns would have been known in less
than fifteen minutes after the closing
of the polls
