MANKATO.


Miss Stella Snow, of st. Paul, is visitor
of Gen. Bakers.
Mr.. Mason Lidgerwood has gone West
with surveying party.
Mrs. Irwin Monks, of Watertown, Dakota,
is visiting her parents in this place.
Mr.. +. q. Guilbert returned Saturday,
after flying visit to st. Paul.
Mrs. Capt. Gere, st. Paul, returned to the
old friends at home for few days last
week.
About three hundred and fifty head of cat
tie were driven through the city Saturday,
owned by Shaubut & Hodgson. Their des-
tination is Iowa.
Miss Grace Pitcher, who is graduate of
the Normal school at the close of the present
term, intends to leave soon for Boston to
continue her musical studies.
A paper was signed last week by about
forty of our most prominent and influential
citizens recommending Rev. Mr.. Richmnnd
as the future principal of the Normal school.
The firm of Jensen & Hoerr have recently
made eleven buggies and four wagons for
the Union Protection company, ligh thing
rod company that has recently been organ
lied here.
A subscription paper has been circulated
in our city with the object of raising $1 900
for the Driving p ark association, the amount
of interest due. If successful it is not at all
improbable that the State fair will be held
at Mankato.
We have taken the trouble to interview
that Mankato young lady who is reported as
contemplating change to the Mohamme-
dan faith, and she says its a mistake, and if
this matter continues Gen. Bakers life is in
imminent danger.
HIGH SCHOOL ENTERTAINMENT.
The Opera Hall was we'll filled Friday
night, attracted by the exhibition given by
the memb ers of the High school. The city
had been pretty well canvassed by the
pupils, and on Friday they had sold $50
worth of tickets.
The evenings entertainment opened with
a chorus-"My Love is Like Red Red
Rose"
Next followed prologue by Chas. Buch.
He stated that $56 had already been expend-
ed for school library-the object of the en-
tertainment, and spoke of the inestimable
value of library in the school. 1t was very
creditable both in composition and the man
ner in which it was rendered.
Recitation-"The Slaves of Martinique"
by Miss Mary Rev, was very grand.
The tableau-Wash Day-brought forth
considerable enthusiasm.
Reading-"The Courtin,"- Miss Kitty
Wise, in which we suppose one would have
learned all about the mysterious art, had the
house been quiet. Miss Kitty handled the
subject well.
CITATION la Cicero-War-by VIM. Will
liaf1fs.
The declamation-Music Extraordinary
recited by Mr.. VIM. Sherman Day, in which
he tried, and succeeded in describing his
feelings the first time he ever heard the
great musician Rubenstein play. This
pleased the little folks as we'll as the older
people.
Miss Lizzie Sparrow sang solo, "The
Maid of Dundee" Miss Kate Murphy &C
companied her on the piano. Miss Lizzie's
voice is not very strong, but it fully sup
plies in sweetness what it lacks in strength.
1t was one of the gems of the evening.
The recitation, :'Thr angel of Beuna Wis
ta," by Miss Mary Ingerman, and the decla-
nation, Sparticus, by Clarence Ennis, were
both well rendered.
Tableau-The first grief.
Miss Ada Weigel favored the audience
with an instrumental solo, in regard to which
nothing need be said, as her reputation as
fine pianist is so well established here.
Mother Goose with her immense and Gu
rious family delighted the little folks pres
emit. The quartette by Misses Mccoy and
Ingram and Messrs. Tarbell and John, came
next in order. Everyone knows that "Moon-
light on the lake, is always acceptable,
whether it be in song or reality, and they all
sang nicely.
