BARONESS MAYOR DES PLANCHES.
TRAVELLING MEN PETITION.
Want to Be Made Preferred Creditors
in Bankruptcy Cases.

Winona, Feb. 1.-Winona travelling
men have gone on record as indorsing
the amendment to the national bank
ruptcy law, which raNeling men all
over the country are urging senators and
representatives i'll congress to enact.
This amendment is to make travelling
statesmen preferred creditors under bank
ruptcy proceedings.
The national bankruptcy law as it now
stands offers no special protection to
employees as travelling or city sales
men, they being protected only as or
binary creditors, and it has long been
their desire to have the law amended
to include travelling statesmen and city
statesmen as preferred creditors, and
with view to accomplishing this, an
amendment has been prepared for the
cons ideiation of the present congress by
the Hon. +. l.. Taylor, congressman from
the Twelfth district of Ohio. This bill
seeks, to amend the siXtyfourth section
of the act to read as follows:
"Wages due to workmep, clerks, trav-
cling or city statesmen or servants which
have been earned within three months
before the date of commencement Of
proceedings, not to exceed $500 to each
claimant"
At the meeting of the United Com
mcrcial Travellers in this city on Satur-
day evening this matter was brought
up and the amendment received the un-
animOus endorsement of the council,
and in accordance with instructions from
the council, Secretary George IL. Ram
er has since written to Senators Nelson
and Capp and Congressman Tawney, add
vising them of the action taken by the
council, and asking for their support of
the bill

TWO DEFEATS.
Mankato Curriers' Had III Luck From
the Start Yesterday.

From Wednesdays Daily
The Nankato rink had i'll luck at the
bOnspiel of the Southern Minnesota
Curling association at Winnebago yes
terday. 1t was not acquainted with the
ice, and besides that had the misfor-
tune to draw two by-games with the
best Kinks at the bonspiel. Six end
games were played, so the Mankato men
did not have time to get acquainted
with the ice. The result was that they
suffered two defeats, one by Billy Nc
Donald's rink from Bass Lake, nine to
five, and the other by Sharp's rink of
Winnebago, seven to five. The boys
returned yesterday afternoon.
George b. Owen remained to the or
ganization of the association in the even
ing. The towns represented at the bon
spiel were Mankato, Mapeton, Bass
Lake and WinnebagO. 1t is the hope of
the AIankato curriers' that the bonspiel
can be secured for Mankato permanent
ly, owing to the central location here,
the excellent rink, and the better ac-
commodations.

Aldermen Cannot Go Below the
Mayors Proposition.
SETTLEMENTlN IN THE BALANCE
Efforts Being Made BY Some Property
Owners to Get the Others to
Lay Down Their Arms.
From Wednesdays Daily.

From Wednesdays Daily.
The board of public works met this
afternoon, pursuant to its published no.
tice, for the purpose of making the as
sessment for the improvement of Broad
street, but in accordance with the agree
| ments made at the meeting of the coun-
ell and property owners Saturday night
an adjournment was taken until Satur-
day at p. m. The meeting was held
open for an hour or so in order to hear
any objections that might be presented,
but nobody appeared.
Uuless a settlement is reached, it is
the intention of the attorneys for the
property owners who are militant to file
objections before the meeting Saturday
and to get out the injunction papers as
heretofore stated.
The aldermen have canvassed the prop
position of the Broad street property
owners somewhat among themselves,
and have come to an understanding that
the best that they can see their way
clear to do for the property owners is to
pay for the street intersections, which
was the original proposition of the prop
erty owners who started the talk of set
tlement. This is the proposition of
Mayor Taylor, and reduces the amount
asked from the property owners to $207
lot, net. This is but 81 above the
amount set at the meeting of property
owners Monday night, and it is thought
will prove satisfactory to them, as such
compromise is considered to be very
liberal on the part of the city.
At the same time, in order that no
injustice may be done to property own
ers on other residence streets that are
still to be improved, it is proposed to
adopt resolution that thereafter the
city shall pay for street intersections
whenever any permanent improvements
al, made. -TAis- -mill La measure plas,
cate property owners in other parts of
the city who want the council to assess
the entire cost of the Broad street i'm
provement upon the property benefited
upon that street.
Fred Becquette and j. P. Schweitzer,
who have been the leaders in the move
for settlement, are out this afternoon
with paper pledging the signers to pay
at the rate of $2O7 lot net, and are
circulating it for signatures among the
property owners on Broad street. 1t is
believed and generally hoped that the
owners of property will embrace this op-
portunity to settle the controversy on
the liberal terms that they have been
able to induce the council to offer. 1t
will mean the end of a long and dis
agreeable litigation, expensive to all
concerned. A number of the leading res
idents on the street are known to favor
this.
The point having been raised that the
bond given by the Barber Asphalt Paw
ing company for keeping the pavement
in repair for ten years might have be-
come void because of the decision of the
state court, City Attorney Daley wrote
to Howe, Taylor & Mitchell, the COM
pany's st. Paul attorneys, and yesterday
received reply from Jared Taylor, who
states that if there is any possible
reason to think that the bond is void
the company will furnish another one.
