Letter from MAnkatO.


EDS. NEws:-We are quar,ered now
at the city hotel at Mankato. This was
at this time last week, a flourishing
town. 1t is the county seat of Jewell
county, located in the Solomon valley.
But last Friday night about twelve
of the business houses were burned
down, which makes the town look rath-
er ragged, but those who lost their
buildings will rebuild Immediately with
better class of houses.

count of the prospect for corn, espec-
tally on the high land, though some of
the bottom corn is looking very we'll.
made trip to day up to Burroak, a
very nice town some ten miles north.
west of here. This town is the terminus
of the Jewell city branch railroad, 1875
miles west of Atchison.
My belief is that if it does not rain
within a week the corn crop will be cut
short one-half. There has been no rain
here for two weeks, anu 1t is needed
badly indeed, while some twenty five
miles east of here they had fine rain
| last Tuesday. l do not think the coun
try here can stand as much drouth a:
some other portions of the state, espe.
cially Lyon and Morris counties. On
my trip to-day noticed the white chali
banks cropping out in various places
which, according to my notion, is not 1
very good indication of the best of soil
