SOCIETY CAN DO BETTER WORK
THAN EVER BEFORE.
From Mondays Daily.

From Mondays Daily.
The Young Mems Christian associa-
ton of this city has taken new
lease on life. For years, in fact
ever since the erection of its present
splendid building, the association was
handicapped by a burden of debt. This
was due partly to the fact that the
full amount necessary for the com
pletion Of the building, was not Sc
cured at the time and partly because
of the strenuous financial situation in
the years just gone by. The sum grew
gradually until it had reached $4,000
last fall
Two Lage Subscriptions.
AT this time the board decided that
it was time some effort be made to
clear the Indebtedness. Two subscrip-
tons from Messrs. G. NJ. Palmer and
l.. Patterson, of $1,000 each, gave the
canvass a good start. Other members
of the board brought the amount up
to $500. This was followed imme-
diately with equally prompt and lib
in short time the full amount was
secured.
Burden Is Lifted.
With this burden lifted, the associ-
alton is now in position to render
better and more profitable service to
the young manhood of Mankato The
young manhood of this city ought to
rally around this organization, secur-
ing for themselves the benefits that
come with membership and lend
their efforts in helping other men and
boys.
Time Is Given Boys.
Those who cannot pay for a mem
bership in full at once, can have thirty
or sixty days time and where the
young man or boy cannot afford a
membership himself, he need have no
nesitency in seeing the secretary, who
will find some way of making it
possible for him to join. This insti-
tuition was established to help every
young man and boy who wishes to
make his life count for the most.

CLAIM THAT BUGGY TIPPED OVER;
STONES ON WALK.
From Thursdays Daily.

From Thursdays Daily.
While Henry Harein was pushing
his baby carriage on North Broad
street, between Vine and Lafayette,
on Tuesday evening, it was tipped
over by the stones on the sidewalk,
and the child's arm was broken. Mr..
Harein reported the matter to Com
missioner Humiston, and the latter
took it up with Mayor Meyer. The
latter sent Officer Swedberg to A.
Bashaw to notify him that he must
not allow the stones to fall on the
sidewalk, as the walk is close to his
quarry at this point, and it is said
that chips fly over the walk. Mr..
Swedberg came back and reported that
Mr.. Bashaw had refused to rectify
matters and had waded into him, verb
ally.
Mr.. Humist0n Will Act.
The matter was brought to the at
tention of City Attorney Schmitt and
he advised that Mr.. Bashaw be mott
fed once more to keep the walk and
boulevard clear Of stone and also TO
remove a pile Of stones that Mr..
Harein states frightened his horse so
that he nearly had an accident re-
Gently. Commissioner Humiston de-
cided to see Mr.. Bashaw about the
matter himself
Mr. Schmitt states that if the child
of Mr.. Harein was injured in the way
described, Mr.. Bashaw and not the
city is liable for the damages; still,
the city should at once take steps to
keep the street clear Of such Obstruc-
tiOns.

THE sEYLER VERDICT.

In Acquiring William Seyler of the
murder of Jane Adams on the Million
Dollar pier, in Atlantic City, the jury

Both Seyler and his brother, Orvis,
made so.cdlled confessions" under
the proddiug of the detectives at the
star chamber proceedings. The ac,
cused man even signed paper III
which he IS alleged to have admitted
that he saw Jane Adams fall off the
pier.
On the stand Seyler declared that
he signed this paper, which had been
prepared ny detective, because he
had been assured that he would be
given his freedom by so doing. He
testified that, as a matter of fact. he
had not seen the girl fall at all.
Orvis, the brother, was said to have
confessed that William admitted
having seen the girl fall off the pier.
On the stand he told different story.
The jury believed the testimony that
was given in court. The twelve men
absolutely rejected the admissions
that were said to have been drawn
from the two prisoners under the
third degree"
There Is a lesson here for all the
advocates Of the third degree" Not
