When these arrangements on the part
Of the Milwaukee road and those in
contemplation on the part Of the North

We are also informed that the Mil

which will DO needed when their whsle
arrangements are completed.
The Milwaukee company run their
first engine with train of fiat cars load

day Of this week. They also brought
the huge pile driver along, and will
commence at once to drive the piling
from the foot Of Hickory street north,
to the end Of their right Of way at block
s, or to Mulberry street. This company
is desirous OF reaching the stone quarry
and big mill. Their plans for building
north to St. Cloud are little premature
yet, but if they do construct that line,
it will open ups territory of far more
value to our city than many really antic-
ipste.

We present this week another diagram

We present this week another diagram
showing the location of the new depot
that the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul
railway company will erect in the spring,
and the route their road takes to reach
the heart Of the city. 1t is not for the
purpose of giving any new information
to our own residents that We are thus
explicit, for they are a. familiar with
the whole details Is we, but there are .
great many distant from Mankato who
peruse the columns of the FREE Press,
and are watching with interesting gaze
the developments Of the city. 1t is
chiefly to afford such, a. clear . conoep-
ton Of the whole arrangement Of our
railway Improvements a. is possible.
Our diagram shows the present track Of
the Milwaukee road As it comes down
over the hill in West Mankato and
crosses the Sioux City road, to the old
depot. The road then bears to the East
until il reaches the head of Pike street,
thence up that street Northeast until it
reaches Hickory street opposite the Man
kato House, where the new depot
grounds have already been prepared and
upon which fine, new and commodious
depot will soon DO erected. This sr.
of tho Milwaukee road will
greatly benefit both the road and our
business men. It's approach into the
heart of the city does not interfere with

BY notice elsewhere, it will be seen
that the city Republican convention has
been called to meet at the city hall
building on Tuesday the Goth inst, and
the various ward caucuses on Saturday,
the 26th. In this connection we wish
to call the attention Of the other wards
to the fair and systematic manner that
the Republicans Of the Fourth ward
have adopted for the regulation Of their
caucuses. The ward committee act as
judges, the polls are opened at 8 o'clock
and remain open for one hour, and all
the voting 10 by ballot, 9 record of the
voters is kept, and voters must be
vouchsd for by the committee or some
one we'll known by the committee a. .
Republican. In the other wards We
understand that those who may happen
to be present at about the time the
caucus is called, elect the delegates and
leave, and hence may reflect only those
present and do the voting. The record
book of the Fourth ward can be exam
ined by calling on r. w. Beebe, and the
rules adopted are plainly and fully re-
corded, and We suggest that the other
wards examine the Same and see If il 10
not well to adopt those or similar ones
for the guidance Of future caucuses in
all the wards.

Last Friday evening - the Wells

of, "He who fights and runs away, lives

the foul and obscene language used In

Notice to Personal Property Taxpayers

The attention of all persons delinquent
in the payment Of their personal prop.
erty taxes Of 1880, is respectfully called
to section SO, chapter 1,of general laws
Of 1873, as follows:
Sec. 80. All personal property tax
es shall be deemed delinquent On the
first day of March next, after they be-
come due, and thereupon Il penalty of
five per cent. shall attach and be charg-
ed upon all such taxes. After the first
day Of March the county treasurer shall
Immediately proceed to collect all delin-
quent personal property taxes, and if
such are not paid on demand he shall
distrain sufficient goods and chattels
belonging to the person charged with
such taxes, if found within the county,
to pay the same with the said penalty
of five per cent. and all accrulng costs,
and shall Immediately proceed to adver.
tise the same in three public places in
the town or district where such property
il taken, stating the time when and the
place where such property will be sold,
and Of the taxes for which such property
Is distrained, and if the costs which accrue
thereon are not paid before the day ap-
pointed for such sale, which shall not
be less than ten days after the taking of
such property, such treasurer or his dep
uty shall proceed to sell such property
at public venue, or so much thereof as
will be sufficient to pay such taxes, and
the cost of such distress sale"
As the snow has been and still is deep,
and roads bad, have delayed in send
ing deputy collectors to the several
towns, but about the LIST of April will
be compelled to do so. Therefore I
hope all who have not paid will do so
before that time, saving costs to them
selves and trouble to me.

The High School entertainment at the
Opera House last Friday evening, was q
complete success, resulting in q benefit
of $3.50 to the high school library fund.
When we say it was good we mean just
that. The character representations
would have done credit to veteran actors
while the singing by the high school
quartette,-the declarations and recita-
tons afforded genuine pleasure to the
large audience. The rendering of
"Death Doomed" by Miss Barr was e.
