BREWERS BEND THE KNEE
THOSE IN MILWAUKEE TOWN
WANT EARLY CLOSING.
Men Who Make Article That Brought
City Fame Seek to Stop Prohibi-
ton Wavs.

Milwaukee, Dec. 1.-THE great tenn
perance wave sweeping northward and
spreading in all directions, has hit
Milwaukee, considered the invincible
stronghold of the liquor interests, with
such force that the liquor men have
FASTENED to start certain reforms them
selves, hoping to forestall more radical
action by the temperance element.
This acknowledgment of the strength
of the prohibition movement is highly
significant. 1t amounts practically to
an epoch in the history of this city,
which, heretofore has sneered detiantly
at all temperance movements.
Evidently the brewers and saloon
keepers have had agents out through
the country, testing the real strength
of the prohibition movement and know
what is coming. Hence the decision to
steal the thunder of their enemies,
which took the form of resolution
in the council to close all saloons at
and keep them closed until
six O'Clock each morning. This res
olution was backed by all the liquor
interests and slipped through the coun-
ell without any opposition.
Other reforms are being instituted,
and Alderman John Koerner, proprie-
tor of saloon that heretofore has not
had too much regard for the proprie-
ties, delivered an address in st. James
Episcopal church, his topic being "a
Plea for Early Closing"

TALKED ON IMMIGRATION
J. G. Pyle of ST. Paul Discussed Cues
ton Last Evening".

J. G. Pyle, formerly editor of The
st. Paul Globe, was the speaker at
the meeting of the Mems club of ST..
Johns Episcopal church last evening.
He spoke on Immigration" Mr.. Pyle
has made a thorough study of the
question and he discussed it in logi-
cal and interesting manner. He called
attention to both the quantity and the
quality of immigrants that are now
coming into this country The guam
tity is large and the quality will not
compare favorably with those immi-
grants who came to America some
years ago and settled on land and
made farming their occupation. Most
of the immigrants of the present day
remain in the larger cities where they
huddle together in the tenement dis
tricts. The larger number of immi-
grants come from Italy, Hungary and
Bohemia.
Mr.. Pyle deprecated the fact that
the immigration laws are not strictly
enforced. He was aware of the gross
violations committed by mining COM
panies and other large corporations
who send to foreign countries for
hordes of men to work in the mines
and packing plants.
The club was entertained by Mr..
Farnum at the residence of A. r..
Pfau on State street. Nice refresh
ments were served.

COLONEL NEFF on MANKAT0
Admires the Ambition Of This City,
Then He Roasts Few.

Lake Crystal Union: We admire
the ambition Mankato displays. If she
can't be an arc light she can be an
incandescent burner, so to speak. ---
That city is going to have "frst-,
Glass; base ball club the coming year.
That's what the papers of that city
say, and they are truthful and re-
liable, if they do prevaricate once in
wnlIe, just the same as other peo-
pie do when they are up against it.
A town in the west that sits down
and refuses to act for the best in
terests of it's citizens gets left nine
times out of ten.
We know of town thirteen miles,
an unlucky number, from Mankato,
has superior advantages to the best of
them, that has sat fiat down and if
she does anything at all, it is to
poster few other cities because they
can.
Where it Injuries no one, but does
whole lot of good to few, or even
one person, it is better than acting
mulish and revengeful.
Mankato is making desperate eff
forts to be somebody. Her expenses
are numerous and extremely weighty.
Were it not for the fact she pos
sesses cordiality as well as dissension,
in a degree, among their own people,
her future would be anything but
rosy But she does.
The town to succeed in the west
is the place that believes one bust
ness citizen is as good as another,
and that one man don't own the
town.
The Lake Crystal club will come
down and give your club a few les
sons in practice.

She was born in Vermont nearly
eightyone years ago, and located in

mere hamlet. She resided there ever
since, and was well known and well
liked by all, and her death causes
much sorrow.

M. S. DEAN SUES A MANAGER
Action to Recover Sum Of Money
From a Theatrical Man.

The following story appeared in
last evenings st. Paul Dispatch: NJ.
S. Dean, said to be a railroad man,
has brought suit in the district court,
against Wallace Munro, manager for
Louis James the actor to recover $l75,
said to have been loaned to Munro in
September, 1908 Deans name is not in
the city directory. His attorneys. Gil
bert & Greenman, say that he is
connected with some railroad or trans
.portation company.
The attorneys say also that the
case cannot be brought to trial, in
asmuch as the, summons was not
served upon the defendant, who left
the city sooner than the plaintiff ex-
pected, and is now somewhere in the
east r
With view to garnishing funds
of Munro's presumed to be in the
possession of James, service was OBJ
tanned upon the actor here before he
went to Minneapolis, last Thursday.
This proceeding will also fail on ac-
count of the lack of service upon the
defendant.
Mr.. Dean is probably the Dean who
formerly resided in Mankato and is
now connected with the Butte, Ana
conda & Pacific road.

WILL CLEAR The RIVER
ON THE MINNESO-
TAIS POSSIBLE.
Congressman Davis Making an Inves-
tisation With a View to Intro
ducins Legislation.

Representative G.. r. Davis is MAX
ing an investigation with view to
the introduction of legislation which
will result in the improvement of the
Minnesota river, with a view to its
ultimate use for navigation, says a
dispatch from Washington. The an
nual report of the chief of engineers,
recently made public, carried the state
ment that there is now no commerce
on the river, although there is a navi-
gable depth for vessels drawing from
three to five feet of water from the
mouth up as far as Shakopee. One
thing that prevents the utilizing of
the river is the dam at the mouth,
near Fort Smelling, and any improve
ment undertaken by the government
will include the removal of this dam.
Another result of this improvement,
in Mr.. Davis opinion, will be the
prevention, in part, of floods along the
low lands along the river. Farmers
conventions held in the past have
adopted resolutions favoring the i'm
provement of the river, and urging
the removal of the dam at it's mouth
as part of that improvement, and
the legislation proposed by Mr.. Davis
will provide for survey of the entire
river, with a veiw to the channel be-
ing Strengthened out that the flood
waters may have free passage and also
in order that navigation may be re-
stored.
Mr.. Davis believes that with grad
ual improvement of the river, naviga-
ton will be possible as far up as
Minnesota Falls, said to be the old
head of navigation, and incidentally
there will be relief of the food condi-
ton.
1t is said here that there will be
little, if any, opposition for removal
of the dam at the mouth of the river,
and Mr.. Davis believes that legisla-
ton of this kind can and ought to be
incorporated in the next river and.
harbor bill.

ing to shoot them while they were
trapping muskrats at Swan Lake.
The boys assert that series of quar-
rels with Poehler eliminated in his
opening fire on them with a rifle, and
after listening to their testimony, JUS

come laws. Everything is in their


favor.
As to the third proposition, that the
rate on merchandise be reduced to IL
cents per pound, there is plenty of
room for argument on both sides.
"Some arguments IN favor of it are /:
First. 1t WOULD of course, benefit
the general public by reducing the
postage required, and be saving to
everybody sending packages, and thus
to popularize the postal service.
Second. 1t would more nearly
equalize the foreign and domestic
rates on parcels.
"Third. The rate is expected to
about pay actual cost of handling and
not be drain on the treasury, or de-
lay penny post.
Against the lower rate may be
given:
"First. 1t would help the mail or
der houses, as well as everybody else,
in sending small packages, but not on
the bulk of their business, which is,
and would be, sent by freight at a
much lower rate per pound. If it
would help the mail order house, at
the expense of the retail merchants,
it would be a bad thing for the coun-
try. x
Second. There is at present no pro-
vision for delivering large packages in
cities. The carrier takes notice to the
house and the addressee calls at the
postoffice for the package, while the
express companies deliver their pack
ages. To provide extra mounted car
riers for this work, would be a large
additional expense.
'Third. Unless some 'zone" sys-
tenn is established. the government
might get most of the packages for
the long hauls, and the express COM
panies get the short lhauls.
SIN conclusion, then, 1 would say
that the first two recommendations
should certainly become laws at once,
and while l am also in favor of re-
uuClllS lllt ScIClol ldoC W
IL cents per pound, yet admit there
are very strong arguments against do
ing so in this country"
Fl. A. Patterson and George E. Brett
themselves as coinciding
with Postmaster Veigel on the first
two propositions, feeling that these
could not help the catalogue houses.
The matter of supplying the depart
ment of commerce and labor with a
list of hired help needed in this city
and vicinity was considered informally,
and Secretary Spencer will prepare
such list, to be used at New York
by the immigration bureau in direct
ing immigrants where to 60. Mr..
Spencer will publish notice in the
papers in few days, inviting people
wishing hired help to let him know.
The list will include all from servant
girls to mechanics.
President Brett Will name delegates
to attend a convention at st. Paul
