SAYS The WEST is SOLID
BUTTE BANKS PAYING OUT CASH
SAME AS EVER.
Not Family Has Left That City on
Account of the Cessation Of Min
ing Operations.

d. p. Hayes and wife arrived in
Mankato today from Butte, Mont.
They will remain here about a week
on a visit with relatives and friends.
Mr.. Hayes is employed on the
Butte, Anaconda & Pacific railroad,
and likes his position. Speaking of
conditions in the west, Mr.. Hayes
said: 1--WE have not felt the finan-
cial furry very much. The banks of
Butte are paying out cash the same
as they always have. | went into one
of the Butte banks and called for
500 in cash and $500 draft. The
man behind the counter advised me to
take the $500 in currency which [
did, and am glad / did So"
Mr.. Hayes states that some of the
mines in Butte have ceased operations,
but the town is not dead one by
any means. A lot of foaters have
left the city, but not a family has
moved away. There is no more wide
open gambling in Butte and there is
no more excitement around the liquor
establishments where formerly the rat
tie of the chips could be heard and
the faro box was in evidence.
The situation politically is sized up
by Mr.. Hayes in few words. The
leading democrats are for Bryan for
president with John johnson Sec
Ond choice.

THEATRE so YEARS OLD
M'vIcKER'S PLAYHOUSE OF THE
WINDY CITY HAS BIRTHDAY.
Many. Famous Actors and Actresses
Have Appeared on the Stage of
Old Time Opera House.

Chicago, Nov. 6.-McVicker's theatre,
the oldest playhouse in Chicago, and
one of the four or five oldest in the
United States, is fifty years old to-
day. 1t was opened Nov. 3, 1857. In
1872 it was burned down and rebuilt.
In the half century of the theatres
existence most of the great actors and
actresses of modern times have APP
peared upon its stage.
!! The house was opened with stock
company, and visiting star, ii. A.
Perry, who was known as Handsome
Harry Perry" He died mysteriously a
year after his marriage in 1860 to
Agnes Booth. The plays on that first
night We're "The Rough Diamond"
and ::'The Honeymoon One of the
men in that audience that night was
c. j. Hunt, who will be the guest
of the theatre tonight.
The stars offered by Mr.. McVicker
during the first season were Charlotte
Cushman, Charles Matthews, Eliza
Logan, Edwin Booth, Joseph Proctor,
Mr.. and Mrs. John Drew and Mr.. and
Mrs. Florence.
During the Civil war, Mr.. McVicker
gave part of the theatre building to
the women of Chicago for a work
room to prepare lint, bandages, ETC.,
for the soldiers. The motto, "The
Union Forever" was kept on all the
programs. Mark Gray, who was after
ward found to be insane, shot at
Edwin Booth from the gallery of Me-
Vicker's during performance of
Richard Ill in 1872
Oct. 6, 1884, John McCullough's
memory failed while he was playing
the title role in ''Spartacus" on Nc
Vicker's stage. 1t was the great
tragedian's last appearance.
In 1898, during the run of "The
Old Homestead" George A., Beane, ST.,
the veteran actor, died during per-
Torrance. He was in his dressing
room waiting for his 'cue' when the
end came.
After the death of Mr.. McVicker in
1896, the lease was taken by Jacob

LETTER TO Mr.. TAFT
1t Is Said the President Will
Write Him One.
Especial to The Free Press

Washington, Nov. 6.-Upon author
ity that cannot be questioned it can
be stated that Immediately upon
Secretary Taft's return from his tour
around the world, President Roosevelt
will write to him letter for pub
LEGATION in which the president will
set forth plainly his attitude toward
the third term movement. Wash
ington is considerably divided in opin-
ion as to whether or not the president
in this letter will announce unmistak-
ably his determination not to accept
the nomination. Politicians here of
all grades are looking forward to this
letter with as keen interest as they
do the results of elections. While
the majority of them are strongly
of the belief that the president will
leave the third term question open
in his letter to Judge Taft, still they
have learned that the president will
earnestly support the Taft candidacy.

FATHER CIEZYNSKHS ESTATE
Claims Assreeatins SIS, 200 Are
Filed Against Il at Blue Earth.

Judge Nance's probate court room
was a busy place yesterday. A hear
ing was had in the matter of the es-
tate of the late Father Ciezynski of
Wells, says The Blue Earth Post.
The estate was estimated at some
thing like 100000 but of course,
estates usually diminish when settle
ments are forced. Pau & Pau APP
peared for the executors in the case
and Putnam & Nicholson and other
attorneys appeared in behalf of claim
ants. The Post is unofficially in
formed that claims to the amount of
about $4,000 have been filed against
the estate and these will be subjected
to a careful examination before final
action is taken by the court. =.
Attorney A. r. Pau of Mankato,
Attorney Harland Leach of Owatonna
and Attorney F.\E. Putnam were in
Judge Vance's court Monday seXam-

Patrons of Library Perus-
ing Heavier Books.
REPORT FOR PAST MONTH
Sunday Attendance Is On the Increase ;
Some Suggestions By Miss Van
Buren, to the Public.

Miss Maud van Buren, has sub
mitted the following report to the
board of directors of the public IL
brary:
TO the Board of Directors-Gentle-
men: l have the pleasure of sub
hitting herewith the report of the
Mankato public library for the month
ending Oct. 81, 1907.
The month has been an exception
ally busy one, owing to the work re-
quired on an order of new books, the
increased patronage in the reference
department, and the reshelving of the
rebound books and the bound maya
zines. There were l59 new registra-
tions, making the total number 1860.
The library was open for the circu-
lation of books twenty-seven days,
with circulation of BAG, a daily
average of l27. Forty per cent of the
circulation was non fiction. an encour-
aging increase over previous months.
OF the fiction issued, it is crafty
ing to note the improvement in kind.
The above total includes the juvenile
statistics as follows: Fiction, Us;
ontiction, SOB; total, l.3lS. Eighty
two German books were issued. This
has been the red-letter month in the
use of the reading and reference de-
partment, the attendance numbering
1905. an increase of 963 over last
October. The Sunday attendance
averaged fortyone.
Glasses education, customs, philology
and some science have been recata-
logued, sixty eight new books and
sixty-three newly bound magazines
have been catalogued, and a large
number of rebound books have been
made ready for use. All the material
on Halloween and Thanksgiving was
collected for the special use of teach
ers and pupils and several lists on
special subjects were distributed to
patrons.
The West Mankato school has been
made substation for the circulation
of juvenile literature while Mr. Hall
mans store remains the distributing
center on the west side for adult
literature. 1t is hoped that some
comfortable place may be found as
sub station on the extreme east side,
that section of the city being too re-
mote from the main library for an
extensive patronage.

CAN'T CLOSE THEATRES
THE MINISTER'S OF MlNNEAPO.
LIS ARE so ADVISED.
Show Shops Can Be Opened Sun
days, According to View Of Some
Legal Lights.

The wave of reform had to stop
somewhere, says The Minneapolis Tri-
bune.
The good people who were going
through the laws in an effort to make
an ideal city of Minneapolis, success
full in their initial effort, that of
closing the saloons on Sunday and at
IL o'clock will have to stop when
they tackle the Thespian giant.
In fact they are up against it.
Cheered by the word that the Sunday
theater had to 90 i'll Kansas City
they were getting ready to have some
action taken in Minneapolis. But they
were doomed to disappointment. The
theater probably will have to close
in Minneapolis Oh Sunday or at any
other time. according to advise given
the ministers. 1t has just about the
same right to run as the churches. So
saw the advisors of the ministers,
who have been making grand prepare
tions for the closing of the play
houses on the Sabbath.
The advisors give this information:
A mayor is obliged to act under the
state liquor laws, because they are
unique. The person who framed up
the liquor laws made very neat
provision. 1t is known as sections
1861 and 1862 of the code. The first
named section provides that every
sheriff, constable, marshal and police
man shall arrest, and every county
attorney shall prosecute, cases under
the act.
In the matter of the Sunday theatre
saws the advisors, different state of
things exists. True, the mayor might
close them by taking away their
licenses arbitrarily but by no other pro-
cess. The ordinances do not require
theaters to close Sunday. The state
law says they may not be open Sun
laws. but there is little clause i'll
the law which says, in section 1858:
1T shall be sufficient defense that
The act complained of was done in
such way as not to disturb Others
in their observance of the Sabbath

SLEEPY EYE DEFEAT
CONTINUED From Page One.l

In the second half Cook was sent
to end, Sanborn taking his place and
Fox going in at guard. The work
OF Fox was much better than ex-
pected. He held his man well and
broke through once or twice and stop
ped the Sleepy Eye plays.
r Mankato scored another touch down
in this half aided by poor pass by
the Sleepy Eye center on punt. The
locals got the ball on their opponents
twenty yard line and advanced it to
the siX-yard line. Thayer was given
the ball on a delayed pass, but fun
bled it. Pond, who followed around
behind him, picked the ball up and
carried it over. Williams kicked goal
Score: Mankato, u; Sleepy Eye, 5.
The rest of the half Mankato played
a safe game and worked to keep their
opponents from scoring. The game end

line.
