WAITING TO BE ASKED.
Butter Contest Denfnds Upon the
Action Of Cre,sz<efy Men. e I

Whether the state dairy and food de-
partment will conduct butter scoring
contest this year will depend upon the
interest the buttermakers show in the
matter.
1--WE are waiting for the boys to ask
for another contest" said Commissioner
+. X. Slater yesterday. "There is CON
siderable expense connected with getting
up contest, and we will not have one
unless the boys want it. If we hear
from number of them expressing that
they received some educational benefit
from the past contests and showing that
they want another, we will have an
other contest this year.
Besides the cost of the prizes there is
considerable expense for the scorings. If
we have a contest this year we probably
shall not have as many scorings. We had
twelve scorings last year. If we have
one this year we probably shall have
about six scorings, beginning probably
in April and continuing once month
for six months"

TWO TO BE APPOINTED.
Governor Will Have Naming Of CAPT.
toll Commissioners.

The Vacancy on the board of capitol
commissioners caused by the death of
H. w. Lamberton at Winona, Sunday,
will not be filled for the present. Cover
nor johnson so stated yesterday.
Therse are really two vacancies on the
board now, the other being caused by
the absence of c. III. Graves of Duluth
who has been abroad for some months
He never rendered his resignation, but
it was inferred from his departure that
he would no longer take any active
part in the work of the board.
Governor johnson, it is understood
was on the point of filling Mr.. Graves
place some months ago, but out of de,
thought that Mr.. Graves past work
should be recognized to the extent OF
letting him remain, nothing was done.
Now, however, that there is another
vacancy Governor Johnson may take il
upon himself to fill both places.
There has been considerable GOSSIP
of late to the effect that the filing Of
Public Examiner Kerst's report, cover
ing the work and financial affairs o.
the commission, may be followed by thu
forced removal of at least one of thu
commissioners, which would give thu
governor practical majority on thu
board, but the truth of the story cannot
be verified.
1t is known, though, that there wer'
several persons who are active in thu
effort to supplant Claiming Seabury, o
ST. Paul.

CANDY MAKES HIM SWEET.
Pay Company Gets Send Off From
County Paper Editor.

We forget things about as often as
the next one and yet we have not the
cinch on the act We owe the Pay Can
dy company of Mankato an apology for
not mentioning the receipt of a box of
their choice chocolate creams for Christ

These Pay people are candy makers
from away back. The Pay family made
candy when the art was known only to
the royal house of Charles /. He kill
ed his cook and did not give her $4,000
as a Christmas gift like New York
millionaire did, last holidays, with his
royal soup-taster, that he might retaiI
her.
1t seems but short time ago that
Horatio and we were boys together
BENJAMIN, the father, was too old tt

came to Mankato he ran a livery and al
he could think about was candy candy
He had all his turn painted il
stripes and the brides for the horse

once an individual starts in a business
and lays it aside, the thing will ris
up in front of their vision, when leas
expected and demand hearing. So i
came about that Benjamin and his fam
lily, except two and they lean that way
are candy makers.
All the employees in the factory arr
sweet. This includes the bookkeeper, TIN

the goods they put out are simply beau

Breezy Session Of Social Science Club
on this Subject.

The Social Science club held breezy
meeting last evening and had under dis
cussion the subject, Religious Revivals. y
Rev. f. A. Orr read the paper, which
aimed a sharp dart at the emotion and
sensationalism of the ordinary revival
He doubted whether any good was ac-
complished by such methods, and rather
thought that more harm than good was
done. Conversions should be the act of
the will and reason.
Rev. j. NJ. Brown led the discussion
and thought that the ordinary revival
is all right and does great good. The
large majority of the members who
spoke sided with him. They cited the
Welsh revival and the works of Drs
Torrey and Chapman. They would cut
out few eXtravagancies and sencation-
al features, but otherwise would COM
mend the revival as ordinarily conducted

Milwaukee Road Buys Ships,
So 1t Is Reported.
EXPENDITURE OF $4,000, OOO
Docks May Be at Tacoma, But Seattle
is Anxious to Curry the Com.
pauy's Favor.

New York, Jan. Responsible au-
thorities assert that the Chicago, Mil
waukee a. st. Paul has recently added
to its payroll the name of a prominent
steamship agent, formerly in the en-
ploy of the Mallory line, has sent this
agent to Liverpool to purchase, equipped
and ready for service, five ships of a
minimum tonnage capacity of 1900 tons,
for use on the Pacific ocean. The Mil
waukee officials refuse to confirm the re-
port.
The Milwaukee will spend over 81
600 900 i'm getting its initial fleet on the
Pacific ocean. The company has had
agents in the orient for two years and
has already made arrangements for the
establishment of docks at Yokohama
and Shanghai. The general report is to
the effect that the main docks of the
system on this side the ocean are to be
at Tacoma, though this is likely to be
modified according to the advantages
that may or may not be gained from
the Seattle city council. The Tacoma
authorities seem to be willing to grant
almost anything asked for.
The officials report that the Seattle
council is well disposed, but is ham
pered by longtime allegiance to the
Hill lines, to which the city owes a
great deal in the way of development
The Milwaukee people say that the Hill
lines are finding it all they can do to
fill their big ships, and that the. Seat
tie authorities have been politely but
firmly asked to do nothing to inter
fere with the handling of traffic to those
ships. The Hill lines are losing money
on the Dakota and the Minnesota They
| fill them, but they have to do it at
rates that do not net any yProtit-at
least until the company can handle its
biog ships much more cheaply than they
can be handled now.
These, however, are minor difficulties
The real engineering plans of the Mil
waukee and the determination of its
routes have been delayed about 81,
weeks through the detection of Mr.. Oar
ling, who deserted the ship when it wa'
barely out of the harbor. Several con
tractors who were looking at joys along
the way have asked for an explanation
of his sudden departure, figuring tina
he would not have left so suddenly, ever
for $4,000 year., unless he had decid
ed that the Job was much bigger thar
he had thought. Mr.. Darling, however
states that business conditions prompted
the change, and that he does not il
the slightest degree prejudice the worl
on the Milwaukee railway.
A close digest of the Milwaukee rout'
will be put out this coming week, AM
will furnish a surprise or two. Their
is fight on inside about the route ives
of Butte. The original idea of rout'
down toward the idaho bad lands, ant
along the fringe of the so-called Law;
desert has been questioned, in favor o
a more northerly route lying through
better local territory.

ALL PULL TOGETHER.
Mankato Should Help the Hospitals
as Rochester Does.

The matter of extending the sewer
and water mains to the Tourtellotte hos
pital will be considered at meeting at
the city hall tonight of the first ward
property owners, and other citizens, es-
pecialIy those interested in the fair as
ISOLATION. The meeting is called fol
7:30 p. m.
1t is thought that if the fair associa
ton and the first warders pull together
street car line will be greatly improved
The more the outskirts are built up, the
more such line would pay, and the
sooner it will be secured.
The people of North Mankato are also
invited, as that is practically another
ward of the city. The committee APP
pointed last Friday evening to select a
soliciting committee has a list partially
prepared, and will probably announce it
tonight. The committee will consist OF
several representative citizens in each
ward. There has been no trouble eX-
perienced thus far in getting people to
serve on the committee.

and looked over the hospital there with
a view to getting information that
would be of use in the construction ant
management of new hospital. Th'
equipment and management were givei
special attention. At Rochester all citi
zens pull together for the hospital.
Mr.. schippel states that the COMING
year promises to be good one fo
building in Mankato, as there are NOR
inquiries on this subject than usual a
this time of the year.
1t is felt that if the people of Man
kato will pun together for the new hos
pital as Rochester people do it will b
great benefit to the city.

Man is a Queer Duck.

Men are queer. Wouldn't there be
roar when they went home to their
meals if they had to climb up on a
high stool in front of table on which
there was no cloth and eat their meals
in that fashion? Yet majority OF
men, when they go to a restaurant to
eat, will pick out the high stool aud
the feed board with no cloth on it in
preference to a comfortable chair and
a cloth-covered table. A man will
borrow a chew Of tobacco aud most OF
them will set their teeth into the plug
right over where some other man has
gnawed out chew. Offer him piece
of pie at home from which his wife OF
one of the children had taken bite
and he would holler his head off. Al
home he will not drink out OF q glass
or cup from which some one OF the
family has been drinking. Call him
into the back stall of a livery barn
and he will stick the neck Of the bottle
half way down his throat 10 order tC
get a swig after a half dozen othel
fellows have had the neck Of the bottle
in their mouths. A man is a queel
