yesterday by Chief of Police Dona,
hue and Deputy Sheriff Ario, for dis
orderly conduct, today changed his
plea to guilty, and was sentenced
to pay a fine of $25 and costs or
spend thirty days in Jail. When
seen by reporter he said he did
not have the money himself, nor
was there anyone whom he thought
would furnish it, SO he guessed"
he'd have to go to Jail.

woman was insulted near Main and
Front streets last Saturday night,
and it is believed by the officers
that Bolke is the guilty party
Judge Comstock conferred with
friends of the woman who was in.

entirely or found guilty. and Judge

A communication has been re-
ceived from Congressman Hammond
in regard to the location of fish
hatchery in Minnesota in which the
congressman states that Minnesota
is likely to have fish hatchery,
but that there is no probability that
there will be any legislation in this
regard However. he would do what
he could for Mankato. He enclosed
copy of the soil survey of Blue
Earth county.
A letter was also received from
the vice president of the Milwau-
kee railroad stating that the road
could give no encouragement as to
building a branch line from st. Clair

leave sufficient margin for any
profit
Secretary Soaring also read let
ter from the Hawkeye Pearl Button
company of Muscatine, Iowa. The
firm intends to change it's location,
or establish branch factories, and
an invitation had been sent them

ments, to move here. The letter
stated that the company would be
glad to give Mankato first considera-
! ton if a change is made, and want

of several shell diggers, to see if
there was a sufficient supply of
shells in the rivers here.

TAeT MEN HIGHLY TICKLED

Roosevelt.

Chicago June 19.-Progressives in
Chicago. even those closely associated
with the Wisconsin senator, are disap-
pointed over the attitude assumed by
Mr.. La Toilette toward Colonel Roose-
welt Most of the progressives insist
that Roosevelt is the only one of their
kind who stands chance before the
present party gathering and they are
beginning to believe that Senator La
Toilette is more interested in feeding
his grudge than he is in furthering the
principles for which he stands. The
same idea is entertained by the adj

SHARP MAKES AN OFFER
From Wednesdays Daily.

John Sharp. president of the State
Bank of Commerce, Winnebago, has
made a proposition to the depositors
which is causing some stir owing to
the fact that they believe it a good
one and they are anxious to get the
institution in running order again.
Mr.. Sharp's proposition is something
like this: He is to turn his stock III
the bank, amounting to nearly 200
shares, over to the depositors, and In
addition thereto clear property to
the amount of $4,000, this of course
on the assurance that every dollar of
the banks Indebtedness will be as
sumed and paid by the management.
Taking the bank examiners state
ment for a basis, this would cause
Mr.. Sharp an expenditure of better
than $4,000 to straighten up the
affairs of the bank.

TRIEO TO CLIMB PORCH
From Wednesdays Daily.

From Wednesdays Daily,
The team hauling ice for G. W..
Miller started off on rampage of
their own this morning and tried to
tear off a strip of the porch of the
home of Commissioner ]. d. Humis-
ton, at 113 Lincoln street. 1t is
thought that the bride on one of
the horses became loose and dropped
off, and when the driver climbed up
on his seat on the ice wagon, he
couldn't control the horses. The
team started on a run up the alley
and ran into the yard of Commits
sioner Humiston, and broke one OF
the wings on the steps of his porch.
After that they ran into the yard
of Fred Force, next door, and ran up
against tree, breaking the wagon
tongue. No one was hurt, however.

1--WE, the undersigned. as
special committee appointed by
your body to investigate and re-
port upon the advisability of
| this club undertaking to assist
in the securing of a suitable site
| and building for armory pur-
poses in this city, respectfully
beg to report:
| First: In view of the fact
that it will take from thirty
to forty thousand dollars to Sc
cure a suitable site and build
ing for armory purposes in
this city and in view of the
fact that only about $4,000 of
that sum is in sight, it is in
our opinion not advisable for
this club at this time to under
take to assist in this matter.
| Second: We are of the opin-
ion that the state in connection
with the United States should
furnish the necessary funds to
build armories wherever mill
tary companies are being main
tanned.
Third: We believe that if
the city of Mankato and the
business men of the city are
to be asked to furnish the
means for furnishing suitable
quarters to our military conf
pany, the quarters should be en-
tirely under the control of the
city, and that as armory facili-
ties are to be furnished by the
city, they ought to be and can
best be furnished in connection,

BLAME Put ON
CREEK BRIDGE
Trolley Company Eoreed .c
Use Smaller Type of Car.

Following conference between
P. N. Kennedy, of the health board,
and J. ]. Gettings, division superin-
tendeEt of the Public Service Rail-
way Company, yesterday afternoon,
1t was ascertained that the Public
Service Is willing to abate the nuis-
ances in trolley cars complained of
by the Board OF Health. Mr.. Ken
nedy told the members of the Board
of Health last night that the em-
.ployes of the Public Service had
been instructed to do their utmost
to prevent expectoration in the cars.
PIt was learned at the discussion that
q man is employed at the local car
barn at nights to clean the cars for
the following days traffic.
Mr.. Gettings also explained to Mr..
Kennedy that the Public Service
Company were forced to take their
large cars from this part of their
route owing to the condition OF
Woodbridge creek bridge. When
the bridge went out of commission
and no cars were allowed to cross,
said Ele division superintendent,
the small cars had to be resorted to
and hence the many inconvenience
and complaints. Relative to the
heating of the cars running In this
city, Mr.. Gettings promised to REM
edy this trouble and also see to fl
that all cars are thoroughly cleaned
before starting out on their days
journey.
The larger type of cars will be
brought to this city. according to
DIR a
make It possible. The service then
Will be more up-to-date and the type
OF cars to be used will make 1t pos
sible to live more strictly to the
wishes of the health board When
Mr.. Kennedy impaired this knowl-
edge to the commissioners last night
they were inclined to disbelieve IN
thu sincerity of Mr.. Gettings re-
marks. President Kaietsch said that
the company before had made prom
ises and never fulfilled them. A
communication from Mr.. Gettingg
was received and placed on hie pend
ing the outcome of his promises.
Several of the commissioners
openly voiced their sentiments
against the Public Service last night
relative to the manner of heating
cars. President Kaletsch and Com
missioner Leo Schwartz both cited
instances when they were forced to
make the journey from New Bruns-
wick to this city IN d car that was
cold ard damp These conditions
will not be tolerated, said Mr.. Kali
etsch, and this board will see that
the promises of the corporation are
fulfilled this time.

Determined to compel local deal
ers to live up to the rules OF the
pure food law, members of the
Board of Health at their session last
night adopted several measures
tending to control the slaughtering
of beef and fowf within the city
limits. and also to make a detailed
inspection of all dairies within a
radius of fifteen miles and secure
photographs and data which will be
placed on file. To do this, however,
more money will be needed and the
board will appear before the Board
of Aldermen at the next committee
session to set forth their needs.
The Meat supply.
Commissioner Leo Schwartz stat
ed that at the present time the
Board Of Health has practically no
jurisdiction over the meat supply il
this city. But when the new code
which is under way is completed and
made law, he said. the meat and
fowl supply, slaughtered In this city,
or brought In to be disposed Of, will
have to pc up to the. mark.
According to the new code, 1t will

When the new code is law the
hours of slaughtering within the city
limits will be from 6 o'clock In the
morning until o'clock at night
with the elimination of all Sunday
work.
A national crusade is being made
against slaughteFing without inspec-

without the stamped approval of the
authorities. A communication was

Keyport, March 13:-Four man
hole explosions In quick succession
thoroughly aroused this place at
$50 o'clock this morning and awak-

danger from the flying iron and
metal. The explosions duplicate
those recorded on February IL, in
which the same manhole covers were
sent flying into the air for radius

was more alarming from the fact
that many pedestrians were passing

time they occurred. Three work
men Of the Standard Gas Company
were working within few feet Of
the manhole at Broadway and Front
street, but were uninjured by the
flying debris.
It Ii thought that the cause OF the
explosion was located at this point.
The three employees were digging to
find leak in the gas main In the

The men were thrown to the ground

The manholes which exploded are
