An important change in the schedule
! of the street railway line went into
effect this morning. The service has
been reduced, in order to allow the
company to break even during the win
ter months, if possible. 1t feels that
it gave too good service last winter
Tor the receipts. and lost money. 1t
ran too many cars and ran them too
often
Beginning today, one of the Fifth
street cars is taken off entirely and
the other starts from the Saulpaugh
corner instead of from Cherry street.
One Of the three cars on the main line
is taken off, giving an eighteen min
, ute service instead of twelve minute
service, except for the hour in the
morning. at noon and in the evening,
when people are moving about the
| most. The last cars will connect with
| the lO:40 train on the Omaha road,
leaving at that time for the park and
on the Fifth street line, and the last
car for Dukes addition will leave at
1887 p. m. If there is anything spec
ial going on, or heavy snow, the full
service will be put on temporarily. A
still further cut in the length of the
evening service may be made if the
late cars do not pay.
Since summer the Fifth street cars
have not been paying expenses. The
company desires more regular patrons,
in order to warrant it in making any
extensions. 1t has been running close,
IN order to come out on the right side
of the ledger.
One of the officials remarked today
that the company has been giving bet
ter service than in cities two or three
times the size of Mankato
Reports that Mrs. Eddy is dead are
false, according to the statement of
D.. M. Welch, chairman of the publica-
ton committee for Minnesota. Mr..
WEIGH says he can testify that che
saw Mrs. Eddy July 81, 1909, at her
home in Brookline, Mass. She stood
within fifteen feet of committee of
iabout forty-five members in bright day
light. She sent us this beautiful message,
that we did not see in her PERSONAL v,
but in her writings and in her books,
and her great love for us all.
1--WE also had the privilege of roam
inn fh,.A,, .
grounds which are very beautiful in
their simplicity We were served a
light lunch and shown the kitchen ar
engagements, and while there L asked
Ia serving woman about Mr.. Eddy sap
petite, and She assured me that it was
good, but that Mrs. Eddy was so busy
that she only took fifteen minutes
for lunch and that she was very fond
of custards and ate a good deal of it..
Now, supposing that every Chritisan
Scientist WAS dishonest and fraudulent,
how long do you think such hoax
could be successfully carried on in a
household Of servants, some of whom
are not Christian Scientists? The very
foundation of Christian Science is truth
and the world will know when Mrs.
Eddy passes on"

avenue north and Lyndale, Minneapo-
lis, Governor A. O. Eberhart said that
the Scandinavian churches are too mar
