MAY CAUSE TROUBLE.
Action Of q. p. w. In Throwing Out
Carl lundeen's Bid.
IT, INon

Sudy Ddhy.
Carl Lundeen, who was the lowest
bidder on the North Fifth street curb
and gutter job, was ruled out because he
had overlooked the amount of the certi-
fed check required to accompany the
bid, and put up one for 500, instead of
$500. When told of his error he asked
for months delay until he could 60
to the bank and secure certified
check for the proper amount. This re-
quest was not granted. -.
1t is said that some of the property
owners may bring the matter before
the council, as they would save several
cents foot by having the contract
awarded to the lowest bidder They say
that the board of public works is not
so strict when it comes to favoring
other contractors, often delaying the
opening of bids beyond the hour adver-
tised in order to allow absent ones to
arrive. There has even been talk of en-
joining the city from awarding the con-
tract

CHILD WAS TAkFN BACK
One Fond Mother Wanted An Adopted
Girl for a Companion to
Her Little Son.

From Thursdays Daily.
Mrs. Ella r. Sheldon of ST. Paul,
matron of the Minnesota Magdeline So
ciety, was in Mankato this forenoon for
the purpose of investigating the home
of family which took small girl
babe from the society three weeks ago.
The child is nice, bright five weeks
old babe, and Mrs. Sheldon concluded
that the surroundings were not ideal
and took it back with her on the one
o'clock train, although not without some
difficulty, as the family was very anx-
ious to keep the child and still threat
en- to go to st. Paul and get it.
A few days ago Mrs. Lucky, claim
ing to be matron of the st. Paul NUM-
cipal court, visited the city and saw
the officials about the child, claiming
that the family wanted it for the pur-
pose of extorting blackmail, but the
vestigation showed that the municipal
court of st. Paul employs no matron.
The officers suspected that Mrs. Lucky
had some object in wanting to get the
child.
The family who took the child has
lived in Mankato several years, and
includes daughter who states that her
husband lives in Nebraska. To the Of
ficials her mother stated today that she
was delivered of child five weeks ago,
but it did not live, and wishing not to
disappoint the father, who had his heart
set upon having little daughter, the
grandmother of the infant went to ST..
Paul and secured the babe, then three
weeks old. Good care was taken of the
little stranger, and the family learned
to love it as their own. They had not
formally adopted it and therefore could
not hold it, although arrangements had
been made to perfect the adoption.
According to Mrs. Sheldon, when the
society and the mother consented that
the Mankate woman take the babe it
was with the assurance that references
could be given, reports were to be made
and adoption papers secured. No re-
ports were made, but rumors reached
the society that all was not as it should
be. The woman had made the. state
ment that she had six year old boy
that she had adopted and he wanted a
little sister, whereas she had no such
boy. She tried the Salvation Army and
Bethel society without success, before
applying to the Magdeline society.

From Thursdays Daily.
The city is matchmaking the alley
Holman building. The best quality OF
broken stone is used, and the job will
be fine one when completed. 1t will
be the best paved alley in the city, un-
doubtedly. When this alley is completed
there are others that need fixing, if the
city has money left. The streets lead
ing out of the city should not be neg
lected, while the improvements are be-
ing made. They are in worse shape
than almost any alley in the city and
certainly more Travelled.

Its Influence Has Been Felt by So

Here's what one Mankato citizen says ::
Mrs. j. Jessup, of 40S Poplar street,
Mankato, Mimi, says: 81 consider
Doan's Ointment a most reliable pre-
paration for any itching skin affliction
or eruption, and 1 have known it to
cure several different cases. r Several
years ago one of the members of our
family suffered from breaking out or
an irritation which we called RASH 1t
burned like fire and the more it was
rubbed the worse it became. He had
been doctoring for it for some time be-
fore we got Doan's, Ointment at j.. C.
Thros drug store, but the trouble got
worse and worse. When he applied
Doan's Ointment the relief was immed-
ate and in a short time he was cured. /

years ago and am glad to state that I
still think highly of it. 1t is worthy of

EXERCISES WERE FINE.
lndepe ndenee Day Observed BY the
Sons an dDauehters Of Norway.


From Fridays Dali
Norway's Independence day was very
fittingly observed last night at the Nor
wegian Trinity church. An appropriate
program of exercises, literary and mu
steal, was carried out Several address
ses were made, all of which were great
ly appreciated. The church was nicely
decorated for the occasion. 1t was one
of the incest celebrations that the sons
and daughters of Norway have held in
Mankato in many years, and their an
nual gatherings have always been of an
interesting nature.
M. o. Sundt was the first speaker
and took for his subject the events OF
the period just before the dissolution OF
the union with Denmark in 1914, which
resulted from a gathering of the repre-
sentatives of the people and the declar
alton of independence.
Ovel Roster told of the war of ZIG
when the Swedish troops were defeated
by the Norwegians, which gave success
to the move for independence.
Andrew Flo spoke of the general pros
perity of Norway since it's independence
was declared
Rev. Brono talked of the independence
day.
A quartet and choir sang between the
speeches, rendering national hymns SC
dear to the Norwegian people. The
program was entirely in the Norwegian
language, and was very interesting.
1t may be that the new independence
day, June 18th, may be celebrated next
month and hereafter instead of May
18th, to commemorate the entire disso-
luton of the political relations between
Norway and Sweden.

Il Is Unlawful to Catch Pike Under
Fourteen inches Long.

From Mondays Daily.
Game Warden Towne calls attention
to the practice of many fishermen at
Lake Washington of catching the lit
tie pike that were put in the lake last
year or the year before. These are too
small to be good eating, and should be
thrown back into the lake. Mr.. Towne
states that the law makes it unlawful
for anyone to catch pike that are less
than fourteen inches in length. Such
fish that are hooked should be thrown
back into the lake. The fishermen, by
obeying this provision of law, will aid
greatly in keeping up the supply OF
pike in the lake.
