HAS STARTED BUNcOMBE SOCIETY
Organization Will Take the Place of
the Ananias Club

Washington, March president
elect Taft said today that the first
official announcement of the makeup
of his cabinet will be made March 5
Changes in the diplomatic corps
Mr. Taft says, will not be considered
for some time to come. 1t is possible
that several important places in the
federal service may be filled and the
nominations 90 to the senate with the
cabinet.
1t has ben predicted that William
Loeb, Jr., secretary TO President
Roosevelt, to be collector of the port
of New York, will be one of the first
appointments to Mr.. Taft.
The passing of the so-called Ananias
club, established by President ROose
velt, is one of the vehicles of pleas
antry between the outgoing and in
coming president. According to the
story which is going the rounds, Mr.
Roosevelt has accused Mr.. Taft of al
ready starting an Opposition" club
the "Buncombe" club.
In several of his recent speeches in
which criticism of the Panama cana
has been dealt with msparingly, Mr.
Taft has declared that "buncombe con
gressmen" have been largely respon
sible therefor; the president, it is said
has joked with his successor on MS
"buncombe" organization.
A conference with Senator Knox was
had by Hr. Taft today, during which
the latter said many matters of i'm
portance were considered, but all O
them were naturally of such nature
or in such an unfinished state tha
their discussion for publication wa
precluded.
Asked what his program for tn,
day was, Mr.. Taft laughingly replied
that, if the demand on his time by
callers was not too heavy he would
take long walk and then added tina
he should like very much to g
straight up to the capital-that h
lust had an itching" in that drec
ton. He explained that he should en-
| joy visit on the floor of the senat
and house OF representatives becaus
there were many men there he wante,
to see and have chats with. That h
mad no intention of doing so was mad
clear by the statement that while h
was not president he was beginning t.
realize several of the limitations O

ROUTINE BUSINESS BY COUNCIL
North MankatO Aldermen Hold q
Meeting Saturday night.

From MONDAYS Da1lV.
The North Mankato village council
transacted only routine business at its

the council thought that it was mat,

| Let me make two applications OF

las to the limitations of mental heal
ing, whether it is by the Christian
Scientist or by the Scientific Chris
tan doctor. The limits of suggestion
as method of healing, are becoming
more and more apparent as expert
ments proceed. In germ diseases, like
our typhoid epidemic last summer,
latter the disease is once contracted,
or in the dislOcatiOn of limbs or frac-
ture of joints, it counts for almost
nothing. And so in diseases of small
children, where suggestion cannot act

from A to 23, and in all England
and Wales from 267 in 1851 to l.55 in

our Christian duty to cooperate with
the health officer and the physicians
iOf the city in enforcing the meat and
milk inspection ordinances, in keeping
the city clean, in fighting smallpox and
tuberculosis, in doing all in our power
to cure those who are sick.
And this other application of the
effect of body on mind-the hOmely
old fashioned truth, to which people
seem to be so blind, that we ought to
keep our own bodies well, for the
sake of our mental and spiritual eff
cheney. Think of the cost of sickness
to Mankato, even in a year when there
is no epidemic, the cost in time, in
money, in vitality and happiness. And
almost all that sickness is preventible.
Even tuberculosis is now seen to be
preventible. The laws of nature as TO
rproper food, proper rest, recreation, eX-
ercise, ventilation, are laws of God. To
break them is to break Gods laws.
Whatever temporary pleasure we get
by breaking them, by dissipation or
'foolishness or cerelessness of one sort
or another, we are bound to pay for
it later on in loss of health and happi
ness. When will Gods little children
learn that?

COUNCIL HELD
 SHORT SESSION

The town council held a short ses- sion last night and no business of importance was transacted. Council. man Taylor of the public works and public property committee recommend cd that the street light at the river and Tenth avenue be moved to Tenth and Alaska and that light be install led at Ninth and Main. He also re- commended that the telephones in the residence of the street commissioner and Hose house No. 1 be retained. At the last council meeting these phones were ordered out. All these recommendations were acted upon fa- vorabIy.
 A petition from Lee Hudson asking that the town yacate the Alley be- tween Tenth and Eleventh on Main and Alaska was laid upon the table.
 Acting Chief Bender appeared be- fore the council and made a request that the town buy the Fire depart ment a chemical engine. He said such an engine could be purchased for $1S5 and would mean a great sav- ing in property, as 1t would exiting uish interior fires without the usual damage caused by water.
 The request was laid before the fire and water committee All the councilmen were present except c. c. Shea.

CLAIMS
 ARE RENEWED.

DAWSON. Sept. 2O-Dawson has made a splendid showing this season in renewal of mining claims. In placer claims alone 75O have been renewed thus far this month, which probably means the total will exceed a thous- and by the end of the month.
 During August the total number re- newed was 800, and July 1000. Other months of the year run into hundreds, showing that there is no little work in the renewal department, and carry ing the greater significance that the Dawson district has thousands of placer claims which are being kept alive by working every year.
 The renewal fee for each claim is $1O which means no little revenue to the government from renewal sources.
 The quartz activity also continues in all sources, and many claims are being renewed each month, while not a few applications are being filed for crown grants.

There are now two shifts working night and day at the Alaska Iron Co. mine and large enough ore bodies will soon be opened.
