TRIP CAUSES MUCH COMMENT
Considerable About Worthington's
Journey Over Great Western.

-
Journey Over Great Western.
Newspapers published in towns
along the Great Western road are
much mystifed over the recent trip
that was made over the line by Vice
President Worthington of the Read
ing and Erie. According to the
stories published Mr.. Worthington
and his party have pretty we'll cover
ed the Great Western territory and
they appear to have made a pretty
close inspection of that company's
property The result of the trip
may have to do with the sale of the
Great Western.
President FELTON, and General
Manager Slifer of the Great Western
will probably visit Mankato some
time during next week. 1t is at
this time of the year thatthe an
nual inspection is made by the Off
Gals.

Scene at the Rest Room; Mrs.
Day, Good Samaritan.
KINDNESS NOT APPRECIATED
Woman Claimed in Evening She Had
No Money; Next Morning Acknow.
lodged Supply.
From Saturdays Daily.

The rest room in this city wa.
the scene of peculiar incident this
week, and probably many more JUS
as unusual have happened there dur
ing the past few months.
One morning an old lady came tt
the rest room before nine O'Clock
and told Mrs. E. M. Day, the ma
iron, that she had been guest al
the Commercial hotel the night be
fore and wanted to wait at the rest
room until her grandson came in
from the country after her. Mrs
Day talked to her some during the
morning and the old lady, who said
that she was seventy-two years OF
age, remarked that she had been
away from home three months and
that her people knew she was com
ing and would meet her during the
day. She remained in the rest room
all day and no one called for her
and after supper that night asked
Mrs. Day what time she closed the
room. Mrs. Day told her that she
kept the place open until eight
o'clock, and that she could stay
there until that time.
Claimed She Had No Money.
At eight o'clock the visitor told
Mrs. Day that she had no money
and wanted to be taken home with
the matrOn to stay during the night
AS that was impossible, Mrs. Day
told her that she would take her to
a hotel and arrange for her to re-
main there. The old lady protested
and refused: to go, although she was
told that she would not have to pay
for her room. She begged to be
taken to the matron's home and
said that il she was not allowed to
go there no telling what might hap
pen to her, for she would have to
stay in the street all night. Finally
Mrs, Day told her that she could
make up bed for her at the rest
room. This seemed to met with the
approval of the old lady and so the
bed was arranged for her there
After the bed had been prepared
the old lady refused to sleep there
and after using every argument she
could to induce her to sleep in the
rest room or to go to hotel, Mrs.
Day had to close the place. and the
old lady took her departure.
Appeared in the Morning.
n al ino old
lady again appeared before nine
o'clock, and after talking about
some inconsequential matters, she
told the matron that she had gone
to the Clifton house barn and in
CURED whether there were any
teams in from her neighborhood.
She was told that there were none,
and the man to whom she talked
told her that he would see that she
got a room at the Clifton house. He
took her there and secured a room
for her. The next morning when
she went to pay her bill she found
that it had already been settled.
Mrs. Day said to her: But thought
you told me you had no money"
And the strange visitor said: "Well,
always have a little"
Her daughter came in for her that
day and told the rest room matron
that the grandson had been in town
the day before looking for his grand
mother and had not been able to
locate her.

The LegaIity.Of Ballots Cast al
Mortified In Question.
WILL BE CARRIED UP HIGHER
Now Proposed That This Action Shall
Find Its Way to the Supreme
Tribunal.

For the past few years there has
| been a great deal Of discussion in
the city of Mortified as to the
| legality of student voting. There are
large number of students in that
town, the same as there are in
Mankato, who have been voting at
the annual elections and many have
contended that they are entitled to
vote, while others claim that they
cannot legally vote. 1t appears now
that the matter of student voting
is to be steeled through the courts
for all time.
Court Proceedings Started.
Court proceedings have been start,
ed by John Walden to contest the
legality of the ELECTION of o. N Calef
as alderman from the third ward at
the recent city election The suit
is based upon the complaint that
legal voters were debarred from
casting their ballots by the election
judges, in such numbers as to af-
feet decisively the result of the
election AS Mr.. Calef won the
election by a majority Of only ten
votes it will devolve upon the con.
testee to prove that more than ten
legal voters were refused the bal
lot. In the event that the court
decides that such was the case, the
election will be declared void and
A. c. Dayton, the retiring alderman
will hold over until the next annual
election. If the contestee fails to
prove his case, Mr.. Calef retains
his seat in the council.
Lind in the Case.
The contest suit follows upon a
consultation last week by group
of Mortified citizens with the at
torney general and other legal au;
Governor John Lind has been engag-
ed as attorney by Mr.. Walden and
is already actively at work on the
case. The case will be heard before
District Judge Childress in Faribault
although the hearing of a large part
of the testimony will probably take
place in Mortified. The exact time
for the trial has not ben decided
yet, but it will undoubtedly take
place in two or three weeks, the
law requiring that all election cases
must be heard within twenty five
days.
Will Go to Higher Court.
1t is learned from authoritative
sources that the case will be carried
to the supreme court by Mr.. Walden
in case that the lower court should
decide against him. 1t thus becomes
certain that the matter will not be
finally settled in the district court,
but will finally come before the
highest judicial tribunal in the
state. The state laws provide that
election contests shall be given pre-
cedence over all other cases in the
courts, and that if the courts are
not in session special sessions must
be called. The local contest will
thus probably be carried through
to the supreme court and be de-
cided there not later than some time
in May.

A Helena correspondent has
noticed the fact that it was not
even possible to tell from the
Muscular where Senator Dixon
stood on presidential preference.
We had observed the same
thing.
Evidently there has been
things doing" in Missouri poll
tics. Gov. Folk has withdrawn
from the presidential race and
leaves the field in that state clear
to the sending of a solid dele
cation to the Baltimore conven-
ton for Speaker Clark.
Gov. Harmon lost out in Ohio
the other day when he appeared
before the constitutional conven-
ton and argued against the in
corporation therein of a provision
for the recall. 1t is said that
Immediately after he made his
plea a vote was taken and the
governor badly beaten. Harmon
stock in Ohio, even, is below par
ever since. IT'S we'll.
With the governors of eight
states as delegates and promi-
nent progressive republicans
from II more in attendance, the
meeting at Chicago last Saturday
resolved in favor of Col. Roose-
welt for president. That is a good
showing, but with solid dele
cations from all the southern
states pledged to him, Taft
should be and is the favorite in
the betting. 1t is hoped that the
handicap may be overcome and a
strong progressive nominated,
but it's big odds it won't be.
