MRS. HOvIG SUES CITY FOR PER.
SONAL INJURIES.

Mrs. Mary Hovig, wife of Ole Hovig,
~janitor of the Free Press building, yes
terday afternoon served Oh the city a
notice of claim for $4,000 damages for
PERSONAL injuries sustained in a fall on
a sidewalk on Pleasant street Feb. 7
last. Mrs. Hovig's accident occurred i'm
front of lot 10, block IL, Van Brunt's
addition, and was due to the cap over
a water valve %protruding above the
sidewalk. Mrs. Hoyig claims that she
tripped over this and fell, breaking
one of her fingers.
1t is a known fact that a number
of these water valve caps have been
protruding above the sidewalk, some
times several inches in the middle of
the sidewalk, and the city's atten-
ton has been called to it, but nothing
done. 1t is a wonder that accidents
nave not happened before. Before any
more accidents happen, the city ought
to take steps to lower the caps or else
to raise the walks to grade.

Preacher and Mayor Exchange Letters

Mankato, Mimi, March 5, 1910
Mr.. William n. Jameson. My Dear
Sir: l have your letter of the 9TH
inst. regarding the dismissal of GER
tain officers from the police force OF
this city.
In the first place it occurs to me
that you are not i'll position to say
whether they were uesful and efficient
or the contrary, and your statement
either bears no weight for that reason.
l can hardly believe you intended
to make an untruthful statement,
when you say, nor has any reason
been assigned for their Dismissal" but
if you read the papers you surely
knew that a reason was given.
Furthermore, the charter is clear
in this matter, and | followed it. 1t
does not contemplate a trial in this
case, and l do not propose to waste
my time ON one.
The law does not contemplate that
the mayor should be hampered and
pestered by you or anyone else in
these matters, as the mayor is the
chief executive officer and head of the
police force of this city. / trust l
have made myself clear. Very respect
fully, A. G. Meyer, Mayor.

The following letters passed between
Rev. W. n. Jameson and Mayor A.. G..
Meyer. They are self explanatory:
AIankato, Mimi, March 4, 1910. To
The Honorable A. G. Meyer, Mayor oil
the City of Mankato. Dear Sir: On
my return TO the city OH Wednesday
night it grieved me very much to
learn that you had dismissed from
the police force of the city such use
full and efficient officers as Call and
Edwards.
] learn that no opportunity has been
given these men to defend themselves
nor has any reason been assigned for
their dismissal.
As 4 citizen of Mankato l desire
to protest against any such method
on the part of any public servant
land such you are) being used with
any other public servant who is cal
led to so important a position as these
men occupied.
[ hope that you may give to the pub
lie your reasons for the discharge Of
these efficient men. Yours respect.
fully, William n. Jameson.

Plant Biggest Orchard.

San Antonio, Tex, March 9.-Texa:
is rapidly coming to the front as &
fruit reproducing state, and will sool
have the biggest orchard in the coun
try. if not in the world. The great
tract is now being laid out in La
Sale county, and will comprise 4,G0(
acres, or more than seven square mile;
in extent. The chief promoters Of
this great plan are expected to meet in
a day or two in interest of its fur.
Their development.
A great variety of fruits will be
grown, among them apples, pears
peaches. oranges, lines, lemons and
figs. OF the latter nearly a thousand
acres will be set out, the fruit having
been shown to be a great success in
these parts. About six hundred acres
of the land will he used for tho rails
ing of berries and vegetables.

The Humble Geranium.

Green things growing indoors are the
most successful antidotes to winter
ever devised. Thousands who can not
have a conservatory change the whole
temper of a home by a few plants.
Golfers says that there are many varie-
ties of palm today, both hardy and dec
~orative, and of ferns. Of the many
blossoming plants which do well in
doors, the place of highest honor, con-
sidering what it has done for humanity
in the mass, must remain with the
humble geranium. A single pot in a
hall bed room often helps a young
man or through a lonely winter.
Many of the newer plants do not re.
quire direct sunlight in order to thrive.
These points are childishly elementary,
but obviousness and human Importance
often lie very neal together.
