WIPE OUT THE BOARD
Rachie Prepares to Make Railroad
Commission Elective.

st. Paul, Jan. l2.-Representative
Elias Racine is preparing to introduce
bill abolishing the elective railroad and
warehouse commission and making the
commission appointive by the governor,
as it was before 1900.
Mr. Rachie does not want to wipe the
present commission right off the slate,
but would make the change take effect
two years from now, when the terms of
Ira b. Mills and W. E. Young have eX-
pired, and that of G.. T. Staples will be
half over. The appointment would,
therefore, be made by the governor who
is elected next year. The commissioners
would hold office for four year terms,
unless removed by the governor for
neglect of duty or misconduct.
The argument for an appointive COM
mission IS that it is more directly re-
sponsible that the governors record de-
rCnds on its efficient service, and that
he will have power to stir up the com.
mission.

ECLIPSE OF THE MOON
One Will Occur Jan. 20 and Another
July "a.
E'r0n1 Satnrd a1r,c Dbl,

from saturdays Daily.
Two partial eclipses of the moon will
be witnessed by Mankato people in the
year 1907, one coming here in three
weeks, on Jan. 20. The second will
occur in the middle of the summer on
July "a.
The exact time at which the January
eclipse can be seen has been given out
by Professor Leavenworth of the state
university at Minneapolis. The moon
will first begin to go into the shadow at
COG in the morning, so that the passing
of shadow from the moon will not be
visible in Minnesota.
There will be four eclipses this year,
two of the sun and two of the moon.
The only eclipse of the sun will be Jan.
ID, but as it will only be visible in Asia,
it has little interest to people residing
in America A few expeditions of schol-
ars from various American and Euro.
pean universities will witness the eclipse,
but there is little interest in it other
wise.
An annual eclipse of the sun, in which
the moon passes between the earth and
. the sun, but does not form total
eclipse, will take place July 10, but will
be visible only in South America. The
partial eclipse of the moon seen here,
July "a, will begin at nine o'clock in

DEMOGOLA'S DREAM.
1t Was So Realistic That 1t Landed
Him in the Lookup.
Snfl dnr,,c. DILL,

A dream that Charles Demogola had
last night got him into trouble 1t
was very realistic dream, and scien-
lists would say that he dreamed it on
10th sides of his brain, because the i'm
preston that it made upon him was so
vivid.
Demogola is employed in a stone
quarry, and yesterday some dump cars
get away from him, and his endeavors
to stop them by throwing pieces of
stone on the rails in front of the wheels
resulted in their being thrown from the
track. He was excited, and the fore
man gave him tongue lashing, and he
was laid off at three o'clock for the
balance of the day. He sought to drown
his sorrows in the flowing bowl, and
when he went home last night he was
very sleepy. He fell into deep slum.
Der in an upstairs room, while his wife
remained down stairs After sleeping
awhile, the events of the day were lived
over again in his dreams He saw the
dump cars break away from him, and he
made strenuous efforts to hurl stones
under the wheels. He sprang from his
bed and siezed the sewing machine cover
and hurled it under the bed, thinking
that he was thus stopping the progress
of the runaway dump cars. His wife,
remembering how liquor affects him,
concluded that one of his bad spells was
coming and that he was smashing the
furniture, and she sent for the police. Of
ficers Riley and Thilgen appeared and
found Demogola awake and pacing his
yard with lantern. He was taken in
to custody. This morning his wife APP
peared at the police station, and it was
decided to let him go, after Chief Miller
had admonished him to leave LIQUOR
alone. Demogola is a good worker when
| sober.

Sympathy for Association.
General sympathy is felt for the hos

sacrifices in order to build and equip
the hospital in the most modern way,
and the building was a perfect gem. 1t
had made a favorable start on it's Ca
reer of usefulness. When every other
feature was so perfect, it is pity that
the concealed wiring should prove de-
fective, but this often happens and is
said to be difficult to guard against. 1t
can be predicted with confidence that
the hospital trustees and building COM
mittee will do everything in their power
to repair the building promptly and
make it safer than ever.
Architect Schippel states that prob
ably steel ceilings will have to be put
on to save the ceiling plaster, but that
the other watersoaked plaster will PROB
ably have to be replaced. The roof will
also have to be rebuilt, except the gut
tiers. He believes that $4,000 will Gov.
err the loss.
The building was completed in Octo.

Not all the patients were carried from
the building during the fire, and some
were returned duringythe forenoon. There
are five now receiving care in the hospi-
tai and there are accommodations for
twelve or fifteen. The hospital will not
be closed as a portion of the building
is not damaged and is thoroughly dry.
There is no damage to the operating

Nicholson Pays Well for the "Fan lie
Had With the Linsoe Bull
dogs His Finish.
From Saturdays Daily.

From Saturdays Daily.
The trial of Anton Nicholson of Lam
coin ON the charge of having committed
an assault upon Thorwald Linsoe was
concluded late yesterday afternoon ana
the case went to the jury at p. IN.
The Jury returned for instructions as TO
what constitutes an assault, and then
returned again at seven o'clock with a
verdict of guilty, but recommending len
iency.
The testimony showed that Nicholson
drank heavily at Madelia and then
started for the home of Mr.. Thorgerson
in Lincoln, where basket social was
being given by the Norwegian Luther
ans. He made threats of having fun
with the Linsoe bulldogs" as he called
the three Linsoe brothers. He also
took bottle of whisky with him.
Arrived at the social, it appears that
he started Il system of aggravation
against the Linsoes, who were behaving
themselves as gentlemen should. lie
passed some candy around, and when he
reached the Linsoe boys he handed it to
them and when they reached for it he
drew it away so that they could not
get any. Then he sat down next to
Thorwald Linsoe, bringing up box to
sit on, and amused himself by striking
the young man in the face with his felt
hat Linsoe asked him to desist, but he
refused to do so. When the baskets OF
op one, after first asking whether there
was any raw meat in it, saying that If
there was any he wanted to "feed it to
the Linsoe bulldogsp When he bought
the basket he opened it, with the same
remark
Finally, in order to prevent further
hat striking indignities, one of the
brothers placed his hand upon Nickel
sons shoulder and asked him to desist.
stronger than either of the Linsoe
brothers, seized one by the neclltie and
the other by the hair. Then the third
brother appeared and after asking Mick
elson to release the other two and be-
ing refused struck Nicholson several
times. Thereupon Nicholson struck
Thorwald Linsoe, whom he had been
holding by the necktie. This closed the
hostilities, for Nicholson released his
victims The assault upon which Nickel
son was prosecuted was striking or an
moving with his hat. His defense was
that it was all done in fun, and was
boyish prank.
Nicholson received his sentence at two
o'clock this afternoon. The court said
that he was bound to respect the iury's
recommendation. The defendant could
have escaped the costs by pleading
guilty on the state. The offense was
not an unusually serious one, but one
that merited some punishment. 1t was
possibly due to some ancient friction in
the neighborhood, but liquor had been
the immediate cause. He sentenced the
defendant to pay $40 and costs, or to
go to jail for ninety days. The costs
amounted to 1882. and the defendant
paid up. Besides this, he has his own
witnesses and his attorney to pay, so
that his "fun with the Linsoe bulldogs"
cost him about Sl35 in all, yet he de-
clared today that it was worth the cost.
