vator on Buffalo river near the corner of
Michigan and Ganson streets was de.
stroyed by first last night. The loss

present at the game, end everyone looked
for fierce fight to the finish. with
the odds little in favor Of the visiting
team. 1t was Judged from the way in
which the Northhcld team had beattu

nothing so strong as public opinion, and
the people of the United States are
aroused to the fact that the country is
in the hands of the corporations-esp
cially the railroads.
DIR. Andrews spoke of the plan that
was discussed by the Board of Trade
whereby the location of factories could
be encouraged A bonus of so cents
from club members for each person en-
ployed for a year. 1t is an investment
and a profitable one. The men brought
in to work in these factories must buy
the necessaries of life, they would have
to employ doctors and lawyers and ey.
erybody would be benefited.
Inducement to Small Factories.
DIR. Andrews believed that this plan if
carried out would induce a number of
small factories to locate in Mankato.
The plan could be made to work sue
cessfully. 1t is an easy proposition
and would not be burden on any indi-
vidual.
High taxes were deprecated by the
doctor, but he asserted that no town
can be built up without its costing some
thing Many improvements have been
made in Mankato. They are substan-
tial Improvements. The Front street
paving is one of them.
HI. p. Christensen recognized the meet
ing as one in which there should be
some plain talk. He was in favor of
having what could properly be designat.
ed as Mankato day-a day which all
the people could get together and get
acquainted with Mankato. He doubted
if nine-tenths of the people of the city
were cogniZant of what the city pos
sessed in the shape of factories Such
day as he described was set apart in
this city number of years ago and the
citizens visited the various industries
They were surprised at what they saw
