From Tuesdays Daily.
on the Minneopa park matter at the
meeting of the Commercial club last
night, showing that Attorney General
Young has decided to allow the case to
be reopened. He asked the secretary to
read the following letter from that Off
cial:
st. Paul, Mimi. June l6, l9O6.-Dr. J.
w. Andrews, Mankato, Mimi. My Dea.
Sir: l have just returned to the office
after several days absence and have be-
fore me your letter of the 9Th inst, in
relation to Minneopa park.
| am glad to have the explanation of
your former letter, which l and every
one in my office interpreted the same
way. cheerfully accept your assur-
ance that our Interpretation was wrong
As to the merits of the park PROPOSE
tion, | desire to say that by section
of chapter 297 of the laws of 1905, !
am authorized and directed to take all
reasonable necessary steps to obtain this
land at a reasonable price, to be approx
ed by the governor. | have not been
able so far, even with your assistance, to
secure what could be called a reasonable
proposition. | do not want to vacillate
on this matter, neither do | want to
do you an injustice. 1t is unnecessary
for me to assure you of the high regard
in which | hold the members of your
committee, and it is largely on that ac-
count that | have concluded to open the
matter for further investigation.
From the standpoint of the state, it is
an unwise undertaking. The people of
Minneapolis would have as much right
to ask the state to purchase Minnehaha
and maintain it as Il park for that city,
as the people of Mankato have to ask
the state to, buy and improve Minneopa.
1t will be valuable as a city park for
Mankato, but for no other purpose.
However, this is not the subject l intend
to discuss, because-in large measure
the legislature is the exclusive Judge of
what is good public policy This law
does not direct or require me to institute
condemnation proceedings; it authorizes
me to do so. In view of the fact that
much of the land described i'm the bill is
unsuitable for park purposes, | would
not feel justified in proceeding by con-
demnation. | do not lose sight of the
fact that you desire to have at least
some of the land acquired before the
next session of the legislature
| have therefore concluded to
ask YOU to endeavor to obtain
and submit to me reasonable offer for
the! apart of the land described in the act,
which is suitable for park purposes, up
on which the falls and the adjacent tim
Der are situated leaving out all the
rest, and L will try to make the deal.
The next legislature can then correctly
describe the other land needed and pro-
vide for the expenditure of the balance
of the appropriation in its purchase. Tn.
less the owner of the land will be rea-
sonable as to price, the scheme must

L. T. Cooper, the young philan-
thrOpist who, with his strange new
medicines has been exciting much
attention from newspapers all over
the country now has New Orleans
in storm of enthusiasm over his
remarkable cures. The sale of his
preparations has reached enormous
figures and the wonderful cures of
stomach trouble and rheumatism ac-
credited to his medicines which We're
at first the subject of much conjec-
ture have become so common that
their genuineness can no longer be
doubted.
His theory that fifty per cent of
the so-called stomach trouble is due
to immense parasites, or tape worms,
is verified in nearly every case re-
ported. Where ever he goes people
bring to him glass jars and dishes
containing these parasites which
have been expelled from their sys-
tens by his medicines. Nearly three
hundred of these cases are reported
from New Orleans and in almost ev-
cry instance the patient had been
unaware that his suffering was
caused from anything more than or
binary stomach trouble.
Mr.. A. r. Halle, prominent bus
mess man of l4l9 Carondelet street.
New Orleans, is authority for the
report of one of the most remark
able of these cases. According to
his statement, Mr.. Halle had been a
sufferer from severe affection of
the stomach for the past six years
and had been treated by physicians
who diagnosed his case as one of
tape worm but whose treatment
failed to relieve him. Speaking of his
experience with Cooper's prepare

BONDS COST 100000.
st. Peter Has q Costly Experience
Building School House.

ST. Peter, June lS.-Payment has been
made by c. Amundson, treasurer of the
board of education, of $4,000 of school
bonds. They are part of an issue of
$4,000 made about thirty years ago for
the purpose of erecting the present high
school building. Part of the time they
drew interest at the rate of per cent,
and by the time they are paid they will
have cost the district nearly 100000. As
a payment of $1,000 was made year
ago, there is now but 81 900 outstanding.
OF this amount $4,000 falls due Aug. l.,
and it is probable that at least $4,000
additional will be taken up at that time.

fall, as | will not consent to pay any
exorbitant price for the land referred to.
Yours truly, +. T. Young, attorney gen
eral.
DR.. Andrews explained that the bill
that passed the legislature provides for
the purchase or condemnation fy the
state of fifty-four acres, but that
had been included that is not fit for
park purposes. There is forty acres
that is well adapted for park purposes
that could be secured under the bill, and
the committee would like to have fur.
Their instructions as to how to proceed,
whether it should employ "A surveyor to
stake off the land, etc.
Judge Plymat asked what f. l.. Bucks
attitude is in regard to the matter
DIR. Andrews said that he did not
know Buck would be able to save all
that he has been wanting to. but wheth
er he wanted to sell at all was ques-
ton that the speaker was unable to ex-
press an opinion upon, but he thought
that Buck was susceptible to public
opinion.
Judge Plymat moved that the commit
tee be authorized to employ surveyor
and have a plat of the forty acres need
ed made.
Aid. Atchison said that even if no
more than twenty-five acres could be Sc
cured at this time the rest could prob
ably be secured later.
President Hixon said that he felt that
the attorney general was temporizing
and that there was more or less politics
mixed up with it.
Aid. Atchison said that he knew Buck
of real estate i'm the northwest He is
worth half million dollars that he has
made during the last few years, and he
cares for nothing but the dollar and
wants that coming his way. As far as
any heart for Mankato or any other point
is concerned he does not possess it.
Judge Plymat's motion was carried.
NJ. B. Haynes made the remark today
that he has bill of about $25 for sur
veying in connection with proposed park,
and he is quite anxious to know who is
going to pay it.

Listen, Not long go a farmer in

He found one that suited him and
the price was 500. The farmer
happened 10 remember that about
a dozen years ago he had bought
a buggy just like it from the
same dealer for $j5 and he meg-
toned the fact. The dealer went
to his books and found TINS to be-
true. But, said the dealer.
My books show that you did not
pay cash for it, because you did
not have themouey You hauled

Other Good Reasons for Voting
for w. H. Andrews.

There is pending in the present
Congress a bill introduced by Del
egate Andrews, which, if passed,
will give pensions to veterans of
the several Indian wars in this
Territory and which took place
between 1850 and 1880. If this
bill becomes law its provisions
will he Of great benefit to sever
al hundreds of deserving citizens
of the Sunshine Territory, who
served in these wars, incurred
many hardshipS, and did yeoman
service for the protection Of the
lives and properties Of the early
inhabitants and settlers, and to
the widows and orphans of such
veterans. The bill may not come
up for consideration during the
snort session Of the present Con-
greSs; if it does not, Delegate
Andrews will re-introduce and
push il with might and main dur
ing the 60th Congress, and the
chances that it will become law
are Of the very best.
Here is another very good rea-
son why the people Of this Ter
ri,ory should cast their votes for
Mr. Andrews November the 9th
next. and why they should give
him an overwhelming majority.
Ia cases of the kind mentioned

arge majority and is returned to
Congress in such manner, will
