Died of Ruptured Heart.
st. Paul, July 3.-According to Cor
oner Jones the death of Anton Schae-
fer, former public examiner, Satur-
day evening was caused by rup-
tured heart following the excitement
of stopping the runaway team in
front of the Willard hotel, where he
had made his home.
Mrs. Schaefer, who has been visit
ing a married daughter at Larch

ST. Paul tonight at 9:15, and until
then no arrangement for the flu

In his remarks to the Territorial
Old Settlers picnic yesterday after
noon, Captain Clark Keysor said
that he came to Mankato in May,
1858, but he did not know why he
came. The financial crash of 1857
had destroyed opportunities there,
and he had traded a watch for a lot
in the city of South Bend, repre-
sented to be the coming city in
Southern Minnesota. When he ar
rived here he went to find his lot
to build shanty upon it, but found
that it stood endways near the great
lake that was on the map. He left
the lot and supposed it is there yet.
He then went to Shelbyville to take
a claim, arriving Saturday night. 1t
rained that night and all the next
day, and when he went out Monday
morning to look for claim he found
the ground covered ankle deep with
water, so he returned to Mankato.
He located in little shanty where

Clerk Presents Bond.
City Clerk Bates presented bond
for $1,000 as city clerk and one for
$1,000 as clerk of the municipal
court, with A. j. Veigle and J. b.
Richards as sureties, and they were
satisfactory and will be approved by
the mayor when certain technicalities
are complied with.
W. H. Hazlett applied for license
to sell medicine and soap on the
street, July 3, and 5, but the coun.
Gil voted not to grant 1t, as ii
blocks the street and the same kind
of medicine is handled in the drug

South Broad street, and the council
where that the city needs it will re-
quire about 8 cents yard extra pay
for overhaul. The boulevards will
be filled first
The council decided to grant l.. G.
M. Fletcher Jr., permission to put in
a slanting walk entrance, similar to
that of the j. B. Meagher building.
Mayor Taylor reported that on
Walnut street, where the curb is be-
ing set out, the Consumers Power
company has agreed to move it's poles
to the new curb line, and the North
western Telephone Exchange Co., has
agreed to put its wires in a conduit
and remove the poles when the
street is completed.
The council decided to allow Fow-
Ter & Pay to set out the curb on
South Broad street and put in new
corners at ten cents foot, which
is considered very low price.
Mayor Taylor brought up the mat
ter of doing something to rid the
city of hoboes. There is much com
plant by residents. Many men want
work, as there is not great deal of
work in the country, and the crops
are burned out west of here, and
these are also flocking to MankatO.

Water Plant on Agency Hill.
City Engineer Blomquist presented
plans and specifications for a water
plant on Agency hill. They call for
a tank and electric meter. The esti-
mated cost of the entire plant is
$4,000 or $4,000, and the work is to
be completed by September Is. There
is to be a tower 100 feet high, with
reservoir or tank holding 10000 gal
Ions. This will be sufficient to sup
ply the entire residence district with
water for domestic use and fire pro-
lection, but the estimate does not in
clude mains in the residence section.
Bids will be received July II, and the
contractor will be required to give a
$4,000 bond. The council voted to
accept the plans and specifications
and to advertise for bids for doing

Agricultural possibilities OF Oregon
sre shown by an interesting comparison
i1ss made by President Howard Elliott
Of The Northern Pacific Railway of the
area OF this state with that OF Denmark,
Holland, Belgium, ,Alsace. Lorraine, Lux
eHDbnrg, Switzerland and the state OF
Maine. Combined. they have 50 022
square miles. while Oregon has 96,O30.
On The other hand, the combined popu-
Iation of these countries is q, 1874 $50,
while Oregon has but 672, 765. Tne con-
clusion is that this state has as great
agricultural resources as the above
group anu may very likely equal it in
population when its lands are properly
titled.
