prevent P. 0. ROBBER!ES.
Stamps to Bear the Name of the
Town where Issued.

from TUESDAY Dally.
Postage stamps of the issue of 1907,
put on sale at the 5000 presidential
postoffices, will bear on their face the
name of the state and city in which the
postoffice is situated.
The chief reason for this innovation
is said, at the postoffice department, to
be the belief that it will help to do
away with the big postoffice robberies
and make it much easier to trace Grim
inals.
The postoffice robbery in Chicago, a
few years ago, is good example of the
ease with which stolen stamps can be
disposeu of, for no trace of the perpe-
traitors was ever discovered, although
nearly 100000 worth of stamps were
stolen, and these mostly of small de-
nominations.
Another reason for the change is to
enable the postoffice department to de-
termine the amount of business done bv
the different postoffices and prevent
padding, through stamps sold at some
offices to residents who do business i'm
adjoining cities.

SPENCER BEFORE THE BOARD
Acts on Behalf of the Mankato Com.
merciaI Club; Points Out the De-
fects In Highways.

The county board met this afternoon,
and will be in session again tomorrow
Several scnool petitions and matters of
minor importance came up. Tomorrow
forenoon at 1920 o'clock the hearing
on ditch petition No. l6, for a ditch in
Mapleton township, will be had. Ad
journment will probably be had tomor-
row afternoon.
One of the most important matters
that came up this afternoon related to
road improvement. Secretary Spencer
Of the Mankato Commercial club appear
ed before the board and stated that
there are several bad places in the Ma
pleton road, from the top of the Silver
ravme hill on. He said that thirty
farmers living on the road have agreed
to haul broken stone and gravel through
the winter free of cost if the cou' ~
would furnish the material. The farm
ers agree to haul two loads a wcei;
each, which would be sixty loa1s a
week or GOO loads in ten weeks 1t
was proposed to have the stone hauled
first and spread out, and the gravel
hauled later and spread upon the broken
stone. Mr.. Spencer asked the co'nty
board, on behalf of the Commercial
club, to make an appropriation fd, the
stone and gravel

SPLIT ON CHAIRMAN.
Second District Republican Repre-
sen'atives Looking for the Winner.

From Wednesdays Daily.
The meeting fsecond district repub-
lican members of the legislature yes
terday to consider the speakership mat
ter lasted until late IN the afternoon. 1t
was a lively meeting, filled with wrang-
ling, and finally resulted in the retir-
ING of both of the second district can
didates. The last vote stood five for
Hugo as being the strongest candidates.
of the ten members were present, and
r. H. Jefferson of Bingham Lake held
the proxy of the absent member who
instructed for S. O. Morse of Slayton
Mr.. Jefferson had no authority to vote
the proxy for anyone else, otherwise it
is thought that it would have been cast
for johnson, making the district stand
five for johnson and five for Hugo.
The meaning of this, of course, is that
the district is in position to get upon
the band wagon when the members see
it coming. They size up Johnson and
Hugo as being teh strongest candidates.
Neither S. ID. Peterson nor Morse
could be induced to withdraw in favor
of the Othelt and the vote between the
two was about evenly divided, and as
there appeared to be no show for either
one under such circumstances, the rep
resentatives concluded to dispose of this
feature of the situation by ignoring the
candidacy of both. h
No action was taken as to chief clerk
of the house, or in reference to the de-
sires of second district applicants for
place.

DOG RUNS AMUCK.
Hound Visits Scott Dodee's Premises
Acting as Though Mad.
From Wednesdays Daily.

from wednesday Dally.
There was a mad dog scare at the
premises of Scott Dodge, in West Man
kato, Monday. A strange dog, of the
hound variety. came running over the
hill from some unknown place, snap
ping and biting at whatever came in his
way. Mr.. Dodge's dog and a colt were
bitten before the strange dog completed
his course about the premises and ran
away The dog was shot but not killed
and made his escape, but has not been
heard from further. Mr.. Dodge has tied
up his dog and the COZ, and WIN see
whether rabies develops. This is not the
time of year when rabies usually devel-
ops, but the actions of the hound midi
Gated that he was a victim OF the d.
sease.

DELIGHTFUL ENTERTAINMENT
Recital BY Prof. Louis Ambrosch and
Assistants a Musical Treat.

From Wednesdays Daily. ~, s-.
The recital by Louis Ambrosch, the
violinist, assisted by Mrs. H. A. Patter-
son, Mrs. +. X. Meagher, Mrs. III. /.
Parry and Miss Clara Gerlich, and Nor
lis d. Folsom of Minneapolis, was a
pleasing event. The entertainment mer-
tied much greater attendance than
was on hand, but the audience was an
appreciative one. The program was one
of high character, the selections being
taken from the best composers.
Mr. Ambrosch is musician of ability,
and handles the violin with a masterful
hand. Mankato people hardly realize
his excellence, for last night was the
first opportunity that he has had to
appear at his best. His Interpretation
and execution are above criticism. His
rendition of "Perpetuum Mobile" by FIR.
Ries took particularly well with the
audience and won hearty enchore.
Mr.. Folsom quickly established him
self as favorite, after the audience
had been accustomed his mannerisms.
His work on the piano was very good,
and Mankato people will hope to see
more of him in the future.
The selections rendered by the ladies'
quartet were highly appreciated and the
only regret of the audience was that
their appearance on the program was
limited to two selections, even declining
to he enchored. The selection with the
violin obligato was particularly effective.
Mr.. Ambrosch is to be congratulated
upon the musical success attained by
his first recital.

Second District SOlOns Meet
Here Today.
MATTER OF SPEAKERSHIP.
That is The Most Important PROPOSE
ton to Consider; Chief Clerk
ship a Bone of Contention.
From Tuesdays Dafiv.

From Tuesdays Dafiv.
\ meeting of republican representa-
tives of the second congressional district
was held at the Saulpaugh this after
noon, to consider the speakership mat
ter and other contests, as we'll as the
application of several parties for APP
pointments of any kind. The attend
ance was not large, among those present
being Representatives Gates, Lewis and
Mcqueen of Blue Earth county, S. ID. Pc
terson of New Tim, S. O. Morse of Stay
ton, II. l.. Morb of Brycelin, C. j. Sven
son of st. James and r. II. Jefferson of
Bingham Lake.
OF this district are candidates for
speaker, and looked after their own in
terests. The interests of L. II. johnson
of Minneapolis were looked after by
Representatives 4. b. Wright of Mime
apolis and Representative John Zelch of
Cottage Grove, Washington county.
Representative Hugo of Duluth also had
friends on hand
J. d. Jones and Adolph w. L. John
son, both of Minneapolis, are candidates
for chief clerk, and both were on hand
pressing their claims Both held other
positions in the last house.
Robert Thomas of Lake Crystal and
James Mullen of Madison Lake are can
didates for positions at the disposition
of the house when the minor places are
filled upon the organization of the
house.
There was little that could be cleaned
from the memJers of the house present
before the meeting was called this aft
ernoon, all saying that they would have
to confer before they would have any
idea as to what would be done.
Other candidates for speaker besides
those mentioned are Representatives
Tighe of st. Paul. Rockney of Zmbro
ia, r. j.. Wells of Breckenridge and W.
a. Nolan of Grand Meadow
AT $3.50 p. IN. there had been no
agreement arrived at as to the speaker
ship. Representative Peterson was will
ing to withdraw, but Representative
Morse was not. Unless Morse pulls out
it is not likely that Peterson will. 1t
was thought that if both conclude to
remain in the field the members will
not endorse either one, unless it is for
the purpose of awarding the issue as to
their ultimate chance. Regarding the
latter it is believed that the delegation
will go to L. II. Johnson. Hugo has two
or three votes in the district, but it is
understood that they are not ''stickers.' -
One of the members of the conference
expressed himself today of the belief
that the speakership contest would mar
row down to between Johnson and Hugo
although complications might arise that
would elect some other man.

Candidates for Job are
Busy as Bees
NO ONE HAS GOT A CINCH
Johnson OF Minneapolis is Looming
Up Some and Hugo is Racing;
ROckne is In Line.

st. Paul, Nov. 23-With the backing
given him in Hennepin county by the
caucus Wednesday night and definite
knowledge of what his strength is there,
Lawrence II. Johnson of Minneapolis
and his steering committee got busy
yesterday with the legislators from
other districts. Johnson will open head
he can meet the representatives as they
coIne in.
1t was pretty much Rockne and John
son yesterday afternoon, although the
ether candidates were on deck person
ally or by proxy. But the Hennepin del
egation was the most prominent, John
sons friends and the three ants being
equally busy.
Johnson had the support of nine men,
would give him ten of the delegates. He
claims that one of the four that voted
against him will be for him in a gen
eral caucus. This would give him eleven
votes as starter.
Il don't think any one has cinch on
the place yet" he said yesterday. 81
claimed about twenty votes before our
caucus, which, with the eleven from
Hennepin. wound give me about thirty.
~,
claim at present. If any one had 40 or
so votes it would not take much more
work to settle it. / do not think any
one will know how he stands until the
districts begin to caucus.
PERSONALLY / have no claims to make
except that | have always tried to look
after the best interests of the state.
have never believed in opposing the in
terests of Hennepin or the three large
have demonstrated that l am capable of
holding the position"
n F. Hugo left for Duluth in the aft
ernoon. The eighth district will caucus
this evening and Hugo does not expect
any opposition in the district. Just what
strength he has outside he will not re-
veal. but maintains that things look
good.
A. j. Rochne of Zumbrota was busy
meeting the members elect yesterday aft
ernoon. Elias Racine of Madison also
came in and mingled with the crowd and
put in some good words for Rochne.
Rochne was not disposed to make any
claims, but his friends were hopeful.
Some fthem said that he would have
almost everything in the third district,
his home, the first, the seventh and the
ninth. The seventh and the ninth have
no candidate and the only one in the
first is w. A. Nolan, but Nolan, it is
said, is not a candidate at present and
probably will not be unless there should
be a deadlock.
The sixth district is expected to give
most of its strength to j. r. Howard of
Sank Center as long as he is in the
race
S. o. Morse of Slayton came down
yesterday and began mingling with the
boys. Morse has the support of the dele
gates in the western part of the second
district. He says he is not going to
make any campaign. In case of dead
lock he might come out stronger
One thing that made the Rockne peo-
pie feel good was that the other candi-
dates put him in second place. Huggo's
friends said Hugo or Rockne." John
sons friends said johnson or Rockne"
