Coffee Houses.

Now that the winter has set in, il is
time to think what We have done or
what We can do 10 make ourselves and
others comfortable. Now on cold
winter day nothing makes laboring
man feel SO comfortable as well filed
stomach and the knowledge that when
he is hungry he can get food easily and
cheaply. Certain persons in other cities,
being aware OF this, have established
coffee or soup houses, where hackman
or drayman or even business men when
they are hungry and in hurry, can get
cup of coffee, u plate of soup, and
bread and butter for moderate prices,
These houses have been success every.
where and are patronized by oil classes
II is said that the attendance in the
saloons in the neighborhood Of these
houses was perceptibly decreased
There are hundreds OF laboring meI
who go TO the saloon for something tc
warm them up, simply because they
cannot get it anywhere else for the same
price and the same quantity. Let tn,
ladies of the the city take this up, w
wish the Relief Society would max,
something out of it, and if nobody els
will, let our restaurant men open
special counter with the fare we hav
described. We are sure that will re
ceive u liberal patronage that it vii
prove a success and benefit to tn
city.

Wanted.

Under the above head We will be
more explicit by stating that this city
wants mandatory for utilizing our
fax straw or fibre, the greater portion
of which is wasted after the seed is
threshed out. II has been practically
demonstrated that fax is one of the
most profitable crops a farmer raises.
Many farmers in this western country
find it exceedingly profitable as first
crop on newly broken prairie. II re-
quIres little work, and yields 10 to 10
bushels per acre, while the seed finds a
ready market at a fair price. Here in
Mankato is an Oil Mill that consumes
oil the fax seed raised for miles around
and ships it's oil and cake TO all points
of the compass, and if some enter,
prising man would come here and build
q mandatory for consuming the straw
it would be paying investment fo1
him as well as the farmer that raisel
the article. There are manufactures in
the country that buy this straw at 81 I,
a. a ton just it it comes from the thresh
er. Who will be the first 10 occupy
this Geld and reap tho advantage.

The storm.

The second one of those charming en-
tertainments opened up on Tuesday
night with rain which quickly changed
to snow and that to slush. 1t continued
all through Wednesday and Thursday,
when it grew colder and the wind be.
gan to blow. Thursday afternoon after
noon the clouds broke and the sun came
forth and the storm was ended for a
short time. About inches of snow fell
and this mixing with the mud, made
travelling very difficult and disagree
able. None of the trains were delayed
nor telegraphic communication cut off
rs far as heard from. Such farmers as
were behind with their fall work OF had
not as yet provided sheds for their cattle
were the principal sufferers.

The City Council met Tuesday even.
ing to take into consideration the
proposition of Messers. Willard and
Barney to settle the levee matter. The
matter as near as we can gather stands
about as follows: A few years ago the
city sold to Willard and Barney $50
feet OF frontage, commencing where the
City Hall now stands and running north,
for consideration Of $4,000. The par
ties subsequently, sold back to the city
Al feet frontage upon which IL erected
the City Hall building and made q
payment in cash of about $500, leav-
ing balance due Of about $4,000. The
notes of the parties have become due,
and amount id the aggregate, including
interest, to nearly $4,000. Willard
md Barney now want to compromise
by paying something like $4,000 and be
released.

Our schools.

Mankato is well known in every por
ton of the State for its school system
There is none better to be found. Tn,
buildings are large, roomy and conven
lent; each is equipped with abundan
apparatus for conducting the studies il
the most thorough and practical man
ner; each have large and we'll KEEP
grounds, enclosed with a neat aud sub
stantisl fence, and each has corps Of
efficient and highly educated instruc
tors Edwin Rodgers is county super
intendent, and Prof. W. +. Gorrie il
superintendent over the three city
schools. Mr. Gorrie came from Still
water, Minnesota, this fall, and is prof
cient in all the various branches Of
education, ard consequently is making
our schools equal to any in the State.
The city schools are three in number,
viz: The Union, Pleasant Grove and
Franklin. The Union school building
is three story brick, built in 1859 at u
cost OF 100000. The number Of pupils
enrolled is about $40. The school is
divided into two departments, the
grammar and high school. The high
school is divided into two distinct
courses, the English and classical, or
Latin. Scholars acquiring the English
course, secures a substantial and practi.
cal knowledge, sufficient for teaching.
This course rs taught here consists of
geometry chemistry, natural philosophy,
physical geography, literature and rs
tronomy. The classical course is adj
vsnced and embraces all of the higher
sciences including Latin, Greek and
German, if desired. II requires four
years 10 complete either of the above
courses. This year the High school will
graduate class Of eight. Prof. Leon
ard Conant is principal, and is ably
assisted by splendid corps of teachers.
The grammar department teaches arith-
metic, grammar, geography, and other
minor studies, which prepares the pupil
for the High school.
THE PLEASANT GROVE
building was built in 1870 AT cost OF
els 900, and like the Union, is of brick,
two stories, surrounded with pleasant
grounds. II is essentially grammar
school, or teaches all the rudiments of q
graded school. Each year large class
is advanced to the High school. Prof.
II. A. Tarbell is principal, with a full
list of assistants. The attendance num-
bers about $50.
THE FRANKLIN SCHOOL
building was erected in 1874 10 meet
the growing demand for more room.
Like the other two, il Is OF brick and
two stories, and cost about the same as
the last named building. Its system Of
teaching is similar 10 the Pleasant
Grove school, and has an attendance OF
600, Its principal, Prof. W. II. Coffin,
and assistants, are making the school a
success.
Here Is presented our three public
schools, whose buildings cost in the
neighborhood of 100000, with an en-.
rollment of nearly 900 pupils, and as
good a corps of teachers rs any city in
the State possesses. The average at.
tendance Of there schools is 92H per
cent.
