May that the synod, which embraces
the states of Minnesota, Wisconsin,
Nebraska, Missouri, North and South
Dakota, decided to erect a school
wholly for girls. Several towns in Wis
consin wanted the new school; Man
kato wanted it, too, and gave substan
tial evidence of its desires by sub
scribing a 10000 fund toward the cree
ton of the school. The offer of this
sum tgether with the beauty of the
site at Mankato led the synod to de
eide in favor of the Minnesota town.
The new seminary will be one of the
finest educational institutions in the
state. 1t will include preparatory, col
legiate and normal courses and con
servatory of music which the founders
expect to make the most notable must
cal institution west of Chicago. As the
seminary grows and there is demand

oaks The college buildings will be

SOCIAL AND PERSONAL

A Mankato man, who is quite a
naturalist, says that spider has a
wonderful appetite, and also states,
after noting the consumption of food
eaten by spider in twenty four hours,
that if the spider were built proper
tionately to the human scale. it would
eat rhinoceros for breakfast at day
break, lamb for lunch at seven
o'clock, another lunch at nine o'clock
of a camel, at dinner a good sized
Sheep, and would wind up the feast for
the day with pie made of two hun
bred black birds.

Day will become literary man. Hav-
ing been lieutenant governor of the

,
ton with Mrs. John A. Johnson 1t
is expected that the book will have an
extensive sale, both in Minnesota and
nationally. Mr.. Days close acquain-
tance with the governor and his famil-
iarity with the AFFAIRS of his life will

The st. Paul Dispatch said last
night that Governor A. O. Eberhart
announced that he has practically Sc

mer, executive clerk, but said that
he will make no public announcement

Mr.. Grimmer," SAID the governor
this morning. "will remain ~ the
meantime. There may be change in
my selection, but / believe that
have the right man"
The presence of Edward Nyquist of
Mankato, at the state capitol yester-
day, is taken by some to mean that
Governor Eberhart has chosen him as
Mr. Grimmer's successor Mr.. Nyquist
was Governor Eberhart's secretary dur
ing the last session of the state senate
Mr.. Nyquist stated to The Free
Press that he was not a candidate for
the position, and that his visit with
overnOr Eberhart was merely of a
social character
Two others spoken of in connection
with Mr.. Grimmer's place are Alfred
Teisberg of st. Paul and Ole Holman
auditor of Murray county. Both are
Norwegians, and it is said Governor
Eberhart is anxious to recognize some
one of that nationality.
