DOESN'T LOOK GOOD FIRE IN A LAUNDRY
Sunday Night Blaze Does
Some Damage.
From Mondays Daily.

From Mondays Daily.
Fire broke out at $3.50 o'clock last
evening in the rear. of the Wysong laun-
dry, l2l jackson street, and Tor time
the building was threatened with de-
struction and adjoining property was III
danger AS near as can be learned the
fire started in the boiler room of the
laundry, but its origin is not determined.
The Wysongs claim. that there was no
, fire in the boiler since Saturday after
noon.
Mrs L. III. Cramer, mother of Mrs.
Thomas Davidson, was the first to dis
cover the fire. At that time the flames
were pouring out of the laundry cold
air ventilator which is located little
to the front of the furnace for the pur-
pose of giving the air in the wash room
freer circulation.
The alarm was turned in by Fred
Day, who in company with Henry
Schwatz saw the reflection of the fire in
the plate glass windows of the j. b.
and d. Richards dry goods store. The
box number 30 was turned in and the
fire department was soon OH the grounds.
Fortunately there was no wind and
| it was not long after the fire company
had its streams playing from the hose
that they had brought into the up
stairs hallway between the two buildings
that the fire was under control.
Waysong's laundry suffer no loss other
than what ccurred i'm the wash room and
that is betting, etc. They were receiv-
ing work today and will resume opera
lions tomorrow or next day. Two hun
bred and fifty dollars will cover the
loss.
Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Davidson, who
live over the store room recently vacated
by John Klein's undertaking establish
ment, had all their winter necessities
stored in the back room which was
damaged. Their loss is considered at
about $2OO. Mr.. Davidson carries IN
surance on the. above. Mr.. and Mrs. r.
IN. Cluxton had trunk and several
other articles destroyed and their loss
amounts to $25 or $50.
Peter Frommes, who is employed as
driver for John Klein & Co., lost all his
furniture amounting to 500. He car
ried no insurance.
John Klein, who owns the burned
building, claims damages to the extent
of $500. The building is fully insured
i'll the Citizens Company.
This is the only fire that Mr.. Klein
has suffered from since he settled in this
section fifty years ago.
The Free Press building was damaged
slightly.

HERE'S A TIP TO THE FAIR.
Admit All the Red Headed Girls and
Women Free.
from SATURDAYS Dal

Mankato may be and usually is up
to time in ordinary matters, but there
are several things in Which Iowa towns
are ahead. 70 illustrate, at Eldora,
Iowa, where Il county fair is soon to be
held. there is an effort to excel other
surrounding fairs in drawing crowds,
and the Eldora fair managers have luck
lily struck a lead. They have decided to
admit to the fair and all there is in
it, free. every red headed girl who may
attend the fair. There are not enough
red headed girls in any county, as "a
rule, to bankrupt fair, and this propo-
sition will bring them. all there on ex-
hibition. The scheme is good one, and
the Mankato fair management might
make a master stroke by advertising to
admit all girls with red hair free, and
women as well.

Hon. A. L. Cole, republican candidate
for governor, addressed large audience
at Kenyon last night. He spoke as fol-
lows:
1t is highly proper that the republican
speakers generally when OH the stump dis

party, and the do nothing policy OF the
democratic party 1t is highly proper
that they eXtroll our matchless presl-

many powers vested in him which have
done so much for the people, and made
him the idol of the nation and the fore
most man of our time.
But inasmuch as our state is. as time
is measured. in the morning of its de-

vital questions knocking at the door of

standard bearer to conline myself very
largely to the discussion of state ques-
lions. As candidate fur governor, the
people have the right to know what
l will do, i'll the event of my election,
about the great problems OF local con-
Germ and interest.
All wealth comes from the land, upon
the farmers and their success Minnesota
must continue to depend for its prosper
ity and growth. As their number i'll
creases, as the value of their products
increases, the land of the state will grow
i'll value, the villages and cities will
prosper and all lines of trade and man
ufacturing and even professional labor
will give greater returns.
Our welfare as state then, is to be
furthered by wise and concerted en-
deavor to increase the number of per-
SONS who are engaged in agricultural
pursuits, and to add to the system and
intelligence with which our farming is
conducted, and hence to the productivity
of our lands. The farmer is not only
the states greatest producer; he is al
SO the states greatest consumer.
Railroads Are Discussed.
In both these relations the question
most vital to him and to every citizen
Is that of railroad facilities, rates and
management. Under conditions of mod
ern business the railroads are. our main
highways. In permitting them to be
owned and operated by private capital,
the state has entrusted to their owners

vision.
Too high freight rates tend to rob
both the producer and the consumer and
to lessen, if not destroy, all prosperity.
The transportation question in all its
forms is in the hands of the people The
only limitation in the reduction of
freight rates is measured by business
and fairness to the common carrier
That carrier is entitled to just and reas-
enable compensation for the service rem
dered. and no more. Within the limi-
tation stated, the people have the alb
sOlute right to reduce freight rates at
will. While there are certain additions
to, and changes in, our rate laws, which,
it seems to me, are advisable, there are
already upon our statute books laws
which, when vigorously enforced, will af
ford very substantial relief, and it is the
duty of the states executive to, urge
that those laws be justly and honestly
enforced. Certainly, the executive is
clothed with great influence in this di-
rection, and it is rightly expected of him
that he will fearlessly and energetically
exercise that power | believe that most
OF the freight rates now collected i'll this

1t is certainly difficult to properly po-
lice OF safeguard this class of the state
property.
1t can only be accomplished by the
utmost care and endeavor. Every prac
teal safeguard that can be thought of
should be applied and the laws should
be rigidly enforced when such trespass
is detected.

be changed or strengthened by further
enactment, as seem advisable, and, if
there is any laXity in the enforcement
of existing laws OH this subject, it
should not only be exposed but proper
action should be taken.
Primary Elections.
After careful investigation of the
question / am convinced that the large
majority of the voters of the state are
i'll favor of extending the primary cleo
ton to state officers and, if elected, l
shall recommend the passage of such a
law.
The question of good roads and refor-
esting of our cutover lands, are ques-
tions demanding very careful attention,
and it will be my duty from time to
time, as the canvass advances, to consid-
er these very important matters.
But the one point [ wish to empha-
size, the question of the greatest con-
Germ to all the people is the railroad rate
question; the vigorous enforcement of
the laws upon that subject and the en-
actment of such further laws as are ne
cessary, to the end that exact justice
be done to all parties at interest.

"Dem" Senatorial Boom Is
Being Hawked About.

From Fridays Daily.
Tammany braves are in the dumps.
The sachem is worried also. S. ID. Works
does not take kindly to the suggestion
that he be candidate for the state
senate. Mr.. Works realizes that big
republican majority Is something pretty
hard to bump up against I'm willing
to give the democratic party my moral
support" said Mr.. Works today, but
as for becoming its candidate for the
state senate in this county, count me
out. L have too much private business
that demands my attention to warrant
my engaging in fight for place."
An attempt will he made by the
Tammaiy braves to wheedle c. n. An
drews into announcing himself as can
ddate for the senate. Mr.. Andrews is
out of the city at present and lit is not
known to certainty whether he could
be induced to fuss with the nomination.
Mr.. Andrews is not dabbling in politics
to great extent nowadays. He has
other matters of more important char
acter to attend to.
That l,20O republican majority in Blue
Earth county is enough to cause demo
Gratis to say 'skiddOo" to most any NOM
nation. During the past few years the
strength of the party has been OH the
decline. There is not much encourage
ment for democrat to seek nominal
ton, as the voters are pretty well aligned
with the republican cause Democrats do
not believe in throwing good money
away just for the sake of being called
patriotic.

TWO KANSAS BOOKS


It is very seldom that books which
are published for a comparatively local
circulation attain any great degree Of
popularity yet that is what has hap
pened to two Kansas Christmas books.
Published almost simultaneously, both
Immediately became popular through
out Kansas.
One Of the Iair is W. Y. Morgan S,
"A Journey of a Jayhawker.' The first
copy was turned out by the publishers
less than three weeks ago. and within
ten days the first edition had been ex-
hausted, a second had followed it, and
a third was in press. It is likely that
fourth and possibly a fifth edition will
be necessary before the book is sixty
days old.
The other volume is Elmer Houses $,
AT the Grass Roots" It is a Kansas
book about Kansas people. and vet one
will meet the people described in its
pages throughout this broad land of
ours. Mr. Houses volume will rank
well beside Jerome's "Reveries of a
Bachelor" and other books of that
class. His writings are particularly
good when he put on the ''tremulo
stop and while this little volume was
written primarily for Kansas folks, it
will doubtless travel far beyond the
bounds of the Sunfower state when it
becomes better known.
Kansas has been buying these books
literally in the last two weeks, because
they are good Kansas literature. The
authors of both are trained newspaper
men of high standing, and they know
how to write. Kansas has the money
to invest in literature. and knowing a
good thing, she has bought it in these
two books.
