WOULD QUIT |NSTANTER

r. c. Dunn and H. H. Dunn, men,
Der and speaker of the house, respec-
lively, were in conference Friday.
r. C. Dunn was one of the leaders
of the house during the last session,
and was close to Speaker Dunn. The
appearance of the Princeton editor
this morning at the Merchants hotel
came simultaneously with the ar
rival of copies of the Princeton
Union, in which Mr.. Dunn, in no I'M,
certain terms, pays his respects to
Governor Eberhart, and urges an
immediate adjournment of the extra
session.
He says:
ITO Governor Eberhart: We never
loved you very dearly. In fact, we
have no recollection of ever having
voted for you. If there was one
thing we was not laundering for it
was an extra session of the legisla-
ture.
There is not now, nor has there
been at any time since the regular
session of the legislature adjourned,
any public demand for an extra ses-
sion.
"A hodge-podge primary law may
be enacted, a few meaningless Sec
tons may be added to the corrupt
practice act, but there will be no
reapportionment as required by the
constitution. There may be other
crude, halfbaked legislation enacted
IF, on the opening day of the SEES
sion, motion to adjourn sine die
should be carried the state would
not be the loser"

entrance of the perennial ice-man,
much as he is desired.
The best plumbing will be used
throughout, especially in the bath
rooms, where the work will be
quite elaborate. All the plumbing
will be furnished as completely as
the modern profession can make it,
Attractive features of these ter
races will be fixtures doing away
with dampness, smoke or dust in
the houses, for the cisterns, boiler
rooms and coal bins will be built
under the cement driveway at the
rear of the building Mr.. Kruse
has had many applications from
prospective tenants and several of
these houses have already been
leased. The architect, Albert Schip-
pei, has put forth his best efforts
in designing this building, and has
been rewarded for his labors, by
seeing his work being done in a
fine and competent way, which will
be a monument to his ability.

east, which will give the tenants
the morning sun, and yet no one
will have the hot afternoon sun
shining in upon them.
The chimney will be built so as
to do away with as much smoke
as possible although hard coal or
coke will undoubtedly be used. The
windows will be capped with fine
rough cut stone, giving stately
appearance to the building. A
great deal of Mankato stone will be
used, and it is the desire of Mr.
Kruse that all work be done by
Mankato firms, as he believes in
patronizing home industries.
No Storm Window Nuisance.
The house will be built so that
tenants will not have to bother
with storm windows, the sashes
having Athey cloth lined metal
weather strips. All refrigerators
will be built in such manner that
the ice can be placed in from the
outside, thus doing away with the

HIS HAT MAY BE IN RING

Colonel Albert L. Ward, sage, poll
ticlan and capitalist, arrived home
on Thursday morning from trip
to New York, where he owns half
a dozen farms, including the Ward
family homestead, says The Fairmont
Sentinel. He found his broad acres
in fine condition though he COM
planned of having hard time to get
good tenants Land values are in
creasing and old farms, worn out
and run down, are being rehabili-
tated by fertilizer and new build
ings. Mr.. Ward added another
quarter" to his possessions ana
made arrangements for the erection
of new buildings and repair of old
ones.
Dairying has received a fresh inn
petus in New York, according to
Mr.. Ward. Milk brings $l.3o
hundred and when it is considered
that there is "a profit in it at 20
cents a hundred it will be under
stood why land values in the DAIRY
districts are increasing.
Colonel Ward had very little TO
say on politics. He is naturally
very much emulated over the Roose-
Welt victories and confidently pre-
diets that the ex-president Will De

the democrats for Wilson. The gem

Colonel Ward was silent on 'he

will be in the ring If Roosevelt
is nominated in Chicago.

VIEW OF "KRUSE TERRACE" HANDSOME, SUBSTANTIAL
HOMES NOW BEING ERECTED AT CLARK AND PARSONS

Work has begun on the founda-
ton for one of the most thoroughly
modern residence struc lures that
will grace a city in Minnesota, the
Kruse Terrace, which will accom-.
modate eight families. These terraces
will be entirely different from any
thing heretofore built in the city,
having all the modern conveniences
of homes, without many of the in
conVeniences.
The ground is being prepared at
the corner of Parsons and CLARK
streets, probably one of the best
locations in the city. 1t will be
located on a hillside, which is just
what is desired by tenants, is with
in easy walking distance of the
central business section of the city,
near the normal school and also OH
a car line, which will be of excel
lent service to women and those
travelling.
The terrace will be 151 feet and
nine inches long and 80 feet wide
and the houses will be separated
by tile walls which serve to deaden
the sound. Each tenant will have
large basement with fully equip
ped laundry, also a vegetable cellar.
Central Heating Plant.
However one of the best and
finest features of this new terrace,
will be the installation of a system,
that so far is without peer. Each
tenant will be furnished with steam
heat, but not only that, central
heating plant, the water supply to
be taken care of from the engine
room will furnish hot and cold
water, both hard and soft. This
is a feature that even the Waldorf
Astoria or the Belmont hotels in
New York cannot boast of, yet Mr..
Kruse is very modest in telling OF
his work. .-
The first floor will have two
large bedrooms with ample closet
room; bath room, linen closet with
clothes shutes to the basement;
and a modern sleeping porch at the
rear. In designing this building,
Architect Albert Schippel, has not
only looked for the ordinary conven-
fence of the tenants, but also
seen to it that those wishing to

st. Paul, Nina, May 25.-Presi-

the guest of honor at the conven-
ton opened today by the Associated
Western Yale clubs. Although
many of the visitors are gray-haired,

ers.

movement is rapidly coming to the
fore in this vicinity of the state.
. Intense interest in the movement
was exhibited by every one present.
, Many farmers are improving the
roads that border their land by
, using drags furnished by the Auto
, club of this city. Considerable
work has already been accomplished
this spring through the co-opera-
ton of the auto club and the farm
ers. The result is noticeable through
out the entire county.
Through the efforts of Alex Sch
mahl, local game warden, 275,OOO
pike were secured from the fish
commission at st. Paul and placed
in Lake Redwood near this city to-
day. Pike and Bass are unusually
scarce this spring in the rivers
and lakes here. 1t is believed that
the extreme cold weather Of last
winter is responsible for their scar
city.
Mr.. Schmahl says that he has
also ordered 275,000 bass which he
expects the fish commissioner will
ship in the near future.
