Praise for Local Union.

Minnesota White Ribbon: North
Mankato union is alive and doing
things. Miss McLaird was with us
in March. Our sister union of the
city Of Mankato, central union) CO
operates with Us, and at the time of
Miss McLaird's visit held a parlor
meeting and attended in the evening
in North Mankato Methodist Episco-
pal church. One new member was
gained for central union.
North Mankato union gained two
active and one honorary members at
our recent meetings.
A request came TO us from Mrs.
Eva Waterman to write our senator
and representative in the state legs-
lature to help the passage of the
bill that malt liquors be sold only in
licensed saloons; also bill relating
to purity.
Our president, Mrs. Carrie Keen
sent in letters with the signatures OF
professional and business men and
our members noted with satisfaction
that those particular bills passed.
Rev. Sharp, the pastor of the
North Mankato Methodist Episcopal
is a friend in every sense of
the word of temperance, and is ever
ready to help us.
Five members of our union
live in Mankato. North Man
kato is town by itself There
has been some move towards annexa-
ton, to which we would be favor
able, if we can still be u dry town.
Ours is a quiet, prosperous and pro
gressive town, and our constable has
little or no official work to do.
With saloons doing business here
in North Mankato it would surely be
different. Our meeting in May was
held in Mankato, at the home of
Mrs. Geo Lusk. With central union
as our guest we had good time.
Mrs. Thayer of central gave a talk
on Jail work, Which showed that
good work is being done along that

NORTH MANkATO NOTES.

The funeral of the late Agnes
Bake, the young child of Mr.. aid
Mrs. Carl Bake which was held yes
terday morning, was attended by d
large number of sympathetic friends.
The floral offerings were numerous
and beautiful. The following is writ
ten to the memory Of Agnes Bake,
seven months:
"One precious to our hearts has gone,
The voice we loved is stilled,
The place made vacant in our home
Can never more be filled.
God in His Wisdom has recalled
The boon His love has given,
And though her body slumbers here
Her soul is safe in Heaven"
Those who attended the funeral
from out of town were an aunt and
uncle of Mrs. Bake, who reside at
Humbolt, Iowa, and Mrs. Torgelson
and son of Waseca.
Mr. and Mrs. Carl Bake desire to
express their heartfelt thanks to
friends and neighbors and the Car:
penters union who kindly assisted
them during the late illness and
death of their child.
The committee of the COmmerciaI
club which was appointed to meet
with the officers of the Mankato
Traction company with the object of
securing the extension of the street
car line into North Mankato has
recently met with Henry Hance. who
gave no definite assurance that the
extension would be made at present
w. l.. Cummings of Chicago, who has
been here recently on matters or
business for the local company, stat
ed that it was his opinion that a
North Mankato line would be pay
ing proposition from the start. W.
l.. HiXon, president of the company,
has similarly expressed himself. Mr.
t HiXon and others who met with the
citizens at a mass meeting held in
North Mankato before the street
car project was launched, were IA
vorably impressed with the prospects
that North Mankato would be a
paying part of the proposed street
car line. The difficulties of cross
ing the bridge are said to be reasons
| that the line has not been extended
| to North Mankato. Mr.. Cummings has
suggested that the present bridge
be moved to a point up the river and
a modern concrete bridge built al
+! the present location. A larger bridge
| is needed. at present to accommo-
date the ever growing traffic. In
| few years the present bridge VIII
| be entirely inadequate. 1t may be
a number of years before these two
| important matters will be realized
The commercial clubs on both sides
| of the river can do much by contlnu-
| ing to discuss and encourage the
/ projects.

couse of death was spinal meningi-
tbs, which was of short duration,
being less than two weeks. While
death was not unexpected, it came
as severe shock to the bereaved
parents, who feel keenly the I'M
timely taking away of their only
child The sympathy of the peo-
pie of the community will go out to
the parents in their sorrow The
funeral services will be held at the
house tomorrow morning at ten
o'clock and the interment will

Ceremonies in connection with
the laying of the corner stone of

ing built at st. Peter by Otto Neitge
were held yesterday afternoon. Sev-
eral hundred people from surround

them. Ground for the new church
was broken April 10 and rapid prog
ress is being made with the work
of its construction 1t is probable
that he edifice will be ready for
dedication early in November. The
cost will be $4,000. The material
and construction will be much like
that of the Elks' building of Man

Harmony at Council Meeting.

The council held special meet
ing last evening. The fragments OF
the last meeting were brought to-
gether and acted upon favorably. 1t
was voted to place mains on Bel
grade and Nicollct avenues and lat
erals on Wheeler and South avenues.
Three cross streets will necessarily
be piped i'm the extensions to Wheel
er and South avenues. This it was
estimated will give fire protection
to the entire village with the excep-
ton of few scattered houses in
the extreme north part of the vii
lage Besides the above it may be
possible to extend the piping some
what but after going over the gen
eral estimate of the plan Of Engi-
necr Wilson it was decided advis-
able to hold the expenditures within
$4,000, thereby leaving a small sum
to cover any extras, etc.
Some of the contractors bonds
have been approved and others will
be as soon as o. KID by the attorney
for the village. All of the contracts
will then be signed. The state bond
certificates which have been here
some time will be signed and re-
turned to the state auditor as soon
as the contracts have been signed.
Then work will be started all along
the line.

AlkaIies Valuable in Cleaning.

Every kitchen contains at leas.
three or four alkalaies which may be
used in cleaning processes In the
order Of their strength they are: soda.
sal soda, ammonia, and I've. The
stronger the chemical, the less of it
is required. One teaspoon of I've Ia
a quart of water will be sufficient to
remove iodine stains or soften foods
that have been burned in a kettle.
Three or four times this amount Of
sal soda would be required, while bak-
ing soda would require even more to
accomplish the same results.
However, these alkalies must not
be used upon aluminium ware. The
stronger acids as those in rhubarb are
also injurious to aluminium, but, if the
aluminium is pure, it should last in
definitely and need very little care.

Father Rinn,a PnnuIari+u

From San Antonio, Tex, where he
has been staying for the past three
years the great Oblate priest, Father
Ring, has returned to Dublin. At In
chicore, Ireland, where he formerly
lived, he was much beloved by the
people of the district, irrespective of
class or creed. One never-to-be-for-
gotten memorial that remains in their
hearts was the great Irish pilgrimage
which he guided to Rome about ten
years ago. THE reception accorded
him then on his return-with the pill
rimage-from the Eternal City is
still remembered as being one of the
largest and most touching manifesto
tons of public esteem ever witnessed
in the city. All the city Catholic or

greeted the white-haired priest on his
