Good Man Behind the Shovel.

Captain Clark Keysor, nearly eighty
three years of age, was one of the
early risers this morning. He was
out with his trusty shovel clearing a
pathway for pedestrians. The captain
has something like $50 feet of side
walk to clean, and those who have
shoveled snow realize what task it
is. But the captain is as good man
behind the shovel as he was gallant
behind the gun during the War of the
Rebellion.

Carl Brell, who travels for the Will
liams Hardware company of Minnea
polls, returned home yesterday noon
from Chaska seriously sick, probably
from ptomaine poisoning. He was
taken sick at Chaska Tuesday and
was unable to leave his bed until
Last night he was worse,
but today he was reported much better,
and his friends hope that he will soon
be all right again.
Mr.. Brell does not know just what
food caused his illness, or where he
ate 1T. He thinks that it was either
due to a tainted fish or some kind of
canned food.

Quite bad fire occurred in the rear
of the building occupied by c. F.
Gunstrom as his meat market, sol
South Front street, last evening. The
central Station firemen were called
out by still alarm at 1855 p. m.
and found it necessary to turn a
stream of water on before the flames
could be eXtinguished.
The fire is thought to have started
in the smoke house, where $50 pounds
OF meat was hung up. The fire for
smoking probably got a little too hot
and burned off a string, causing a
piece of meat to fall, and thus send
ing the sparks out and starting the
fire. 1t communicated to the rear
rooms of the meat market, and dam
aged the building considerably.
Mr.. Gunstrom places his loss at $50
covered by insurance. The building is
owned by George f. Keene, and was
damaged to the extent of something
like $500, and is also insured. Repairs
will be begun at once.

From Mondays Daily.

James Mullen was in from the poor
farm this afternoon and states that
fifteen or eighteen teams We're haul
ing gravel for the road today, and
that 500 to 600 loads have been hauled
in all. 1t is hoped to get four miles
graveled before spring.
The farmers on this road ought not
to question the amount of pay that
they receive for doing the graveling, it
would seem, when the benefit that they
will derive from having a fine road
is taken into consideration. If they
were doing the work for nothing, it
would be good investment for them.
1t is said that most of the farmers
see the matter in this light, and are
very glad to assist.

Snow began falling last evening,
soon after supper, and fell faster and
more furiously, driven before strong
east wind, as the night progressed.
Without moments letup it continued
to fall, and by morning was piled
high in drifts and on the level. 1t
was one of those damp SHOWS such as
cover the eastern and coats states
to a depth of couple of feet very
often in winter, but is rather uncom-
mon in Minnesota. There was more
than a foot on the level by morning,
fast and busily as ever as the day
advanced, piling inch upon inch and
making the drifts higher. 1t has been
years since such drifts have been seen
in Mankato. The wind favored some
property owners in this respect at
the expense of others. On the south
side of Jackson street, for instance
the wind swept the walks clear of
snow, while it piled the snow in
monster drifts on the north side. On
the north side of all streets where
there were buildings to form a suction
for the east wind great drifts were
formed.
Mr.. Grannis Showed Public Spirit.
S. II. Grannis showed a great deal
of public spirit this morning by get
ting his man out early with horse
and snow pillow and clearing the walks
of snow on East Warren street. Ped
estrians We're grateful to him for it.
The street car company made a
losing fight with the snow The big
pillow was out last night, trying to
keep the tracks clear, but was obliged
to abandon the Main and Fifth street
line and concentrate its efforts upon
the Front street line. 1t made des-
perate afforts to get cars through this
morning, but was obliged to abandon
the schedule.
The railroads were all more or less
affected. The Great Western, as was
the case at the time of the storm of
ten days ago, carried off the honors.

On the Omaha road there was no.

having come through last night.
The snow is so heavy and is drift
ing so badly, that railway traffic
seems certain to be badly hampered
until after the storm has abated and
the cuts are cleaned out. There seems
to be no trouble about the wires.

Many Subjects to Deal With.

The subjects with which the council
will deal are many and varied but
the problem of the unemployed and
how and to what extent the division
of information in the department Of
commerce and labor can be most nelp-
full to that class, especially during per-
iods of depression, is perhaps of chief
1t is asserted that immigra-
ton figures indicate that much of the
influx TO the United States
is due to misleading information as to
labor conditions here, and this will
form one of the chief topics to be
threshed out. The conference will also
consider chow the Nobel peace prize
which President Roosevelt devoted to
the foundation of industrial peace can
be made most effective"
Other questions which will figure
in the councils deliberations will be
as to the advisability of recommen-
dations for legislation extending the
steamboat inspection service to in
clude the inspection of locomotive
boilers on interstate railroads and how
the division of information of the De-
partment of commerce and labor NAV
be administered for the best interest
OF the wage earners generally.
