money forwarded. Several subcom-

Before adjourning Fred Lossow
made few suggestions. He said
that North Mankato should have
some building regulations and fire
limit, and that these laws should
be enforced. At present. wooden
buildings are being put up in places
where brick or other slow burning
material should be used This mat
ter has been brought to the attention
of the council before, but up to the
present, little seems to have been
done in the matter. Apparently the
fire marshals office is gained by po-
litical favor and cannot deliver the
goods, he said. There were several
other things that should be looked
up in the village manual and changes
made before next winter.

This was the brief note Miss 10
hanna Wigen found on the gold
cabinet in the offices OF Drs. Harri-
son & Heidel over the German
American State bank, this morning
when she came to work. Upon look
ing into the cabinet where the gold
is kept, she found that said Omaha
Kid" had eloped with plate gold TO
the value Of $40 or SIS: the doctors
could not say just exactly what the
amount was But DIR. Harrison and
Dr. Heidel were somewhat relieved
to think that the burglar did hot get
al the gold. There was about three
or four times as much gold hidden
away, which he did not get.
Second Story Worker.
The burglar entered the office from
the window on the second story, as
the stairs leading to the office, are
directly under the window. The
cabinet was placed in the labora-
tory the night before, and when Miss
Wigen, who is office girl there, came
to the laboratory this morning she
found the note. but no trace OF
the burglar.
1t was reported that a dip did
some work on Omaha passenger
train No. last evening and picked
the pockets of one of the passengers.
No complaint was made to the police
or the trainmen, and ii was thought
today that the report was without
foundation.
So far as could be learned none
of the other dentists offices had
been visited by the Omaha Kid
Christ Hoy!und, Who recently made
complaint 10 the police that he had
been held up and robbed by brake
man on the Omaha road about two
weeks ago, was in the police station
again this morning and told a story
of revenge He said that he had
been out with friend last evening,
and while on his way home with his
friend about so this morning, he
met the brakeman who had held him
up. That was in the yard of the
Omaha road He demanded of the
brakeman the return of his pocket
book, and when the man said he did
not have it, Hovlund knocked him
down and gave him a good thresh-
ing. so he says.

STAND FOR REPuBllcANiSM.

The republican press of Mime,
sofa is not giving the third party
movement great deal of consola-
ton. But very few of the news,
papers that have supported the re-
publican party, its principles and
its candidates have been induced to
turn from their course and give aid
to the organization which is headed
by Colonel Roosevelt.
Among the staunch supporters of
President Taft is the Warren Sheaf,
a paper published in the Red River
Valley and that vigorous advocate
of republicanism says: I'VE be-
lieye the indications are that the
factions in the republican party will
all unite in solid phalanx behind
President Taft and elect him by a
rousing majority next November.
There is in reality but very little
to the opposition to the president,
except mere talk No great prin-
ciple is involved. Before the ma
tional convention we heard great
utdi duOut iSSdii VI Juu5So, idiV VI
the people. etc, but after the con-
vention the only fault found with
the president is the manner of his
nomination-that he really was
strong enough to get a majority of
the delegates. Nothing is heard
now of the pre-convention issues.
Republicans have more important
business on hand than TO quarrel
among themselves on the eve of
battle. Such course will surely
lead to defeat. And too much harm
has already been done to undermine
the confidence of the voters of the
party by selfish and unsafe leaders
who ought to know better. But as
we say, the signs of harmony are
in the sky and the prospects are
brighter for the party of true prog
ress and achievement
The Long Prairie Leader, paper
that has always been on the firing
line for the republican party. says:
There are millions of republicans
in the United States who are pa
triotic and progressive. They con-
troll the party in most every northern
state They are bound TO control
the party in 1914 and 1916. Why
desert them for a third party move
ment."
