wINNEDAoo AGENCY.
The present week has been some wha
eventful at the Agency.
The Teachers Institute was not very
largely ATTENDED, but was, nevertheless,
interesting and beneficial to those who
did attend. Medo, Mapleton, and Ster-
ling, were all represented. On Thurs
day evening the teachers met at the
Lower Agency school house and debated
the question: "Rssolusd; That a
compromise is never advisable 1t
was decided, by tho judges, In favor of
the negative. Supt. Rogers delivered q
lecture on Friday evening to a large
audience. Friday and Saturday were
devoted to examinations. Eleven
teachers were examined.
One Of those transactions which
every one delights attending, and which
furnishes theme tor fond recollection
during future years, transpired on Wed.
nesday evening at the residence of Jas.
Fields. It was wedding. Mr.. F. 8.
Wells and Miss Mary Fields were
launched into the felicitous region of
matrimony, by Rev. Mr.. Sherwin, in
the presence of about forty neighbors
and relatives. After the ceremony was
over, all were invited into an adjoining
room to partake of one of those sub.
stantial but luxurious repasts, that only
farmers wives and daughters can pre-
pare. The remainder of the evening
was spent with music and general
jollity. The happy pair were presented
many beautiful tokens of esteem by
their friends, among which was hand
some Bible by Elder Sherwin.
But among all these happy and profit
able occurrences, death has worked with
lavish hand. One of our oldest citi-
zens, Squire Gilmore, was buried on
Monday. He died after brief illness,
of eyrsipelas. .Revs. Sherwin and
Rogers officiated at the funeral. The
same day little daughter of NM Cop
pish was buried. Mrs. F. Kords died
on Tuesday of typhoid pneumonia.
She was buried on Thursday in the
Lutheran cemetery.
Our citizens are feeling considerably
encouraged since the recent consolida-
ton of the Mankato and st. Cloud and
Mankato and Austin r. r. companies.
We hope the companies are more in
practical shape, and that the Agency
will yet have railroad. There 10 not

The bill as introduced provided
hat for prisoners convicted OF crimes
in Blue Earth county, "
should be paid, and for prisoners
coming from other counties, $4 should
be paid. Fifty cents of which add.
tional dollar should 90 to the Sheriff,
and fifty cents to the county to reim- |
burse the county for light, fuel, house
room, &C., &c. The members from ad- |
Joining counties who might desire the
use of our jail objected to this, and
demanded that their prisoners be
boarded at the same rate as our own.
1t became evident that the bill could
not pass with this hostility added to
the growing hostility Of Mr.. Burger.
Believing that q part Of the relief
were better than none at all, it was
thought best to consent to an amend
meut permitting outside prisoners to
be boarded at the same rate as our
own, which amendment was made.
With this amendment the bill had its
third reading, and passed the House
with but few votes OF opposition.
Right here wish to say that / was
sick and unable to be present when
the vote was taken. 1t Is but justice
to say that it was through the hearty
and effective support gwen the bill
by Messrs. Hawkins, Lewis, and
Hall, that it was able to pass the
House, and in justice 70 Mr.. Burger,
l wish to say that he is no way resp0n.
sible for the passage of the bill
through the House, for he fought
against its passage most manfully to
the very last, and for making the
bill at 81 instead of $3.50, and for
the attachment of the Objectionable
amendment, the people should &C.
knowledge their Indebtedness to him.
The bill then as it passed the House
and went to the Senate, was in sub.
stance this: "For boarding prisoners
in the Jail in Blue Earth county, the
Sheriff shall receive SO per week. "
The records of the Senate show that
the bill had it's first and second
reading and was referred to its proper
committee. called upon the Secre.
tary Of the Senate to know why the
bill was not reported back to the
Senate. He replied that rs he under.
stood it, it was not the intention to
report it back. l Immediately went
to the chairman Of the committee
that had the bill in charge to know
the occasion Of this delay. His
reply was, that Senator Buck had
asked for the bill; they let him have
it, and had not seen it since.
replied there was no need of any
delay; the bill was very simple one,
and only local in its effect, and should
be reported upon at once. and favora.
bly,. To this he replied that unless
the local member from the county
for which the bill was intended. was
favorable to its passage, 1t was not
customary to report it favOrably.
This was the condition of things
when the Legislature adjourned.
