They Dwell Everywhere.

In every town, village and city, will
be found set of croakers, dissatisfied
dyspeptics, who are eternally and for
ever ready to crush new enterprises, de-
feat new projects, discourage the invest
ment of capital, and in Ill conceivable
ways drive business from the town in
which they live. Mankato is no excep-
ton to the rule. and while we arc ours.
ed with but few of these envious crea.
lures, we have, thanks to the intelli
gence of our community, large num-
Der of driving, enterprising, liberal
minded and open hearted men whose
first endeavors are to enhance the ma
terial and commercial welfare of our
beautiful city.
Duluth, located as it is up in the
Northern Pacific country, where, if any
where on this green earth man had been
taught to Gelleve that strifes and dis
sensions were among the barbara relics
of the dark ages, seems not to have es-
capped the abOmination of this unchris.
tainlike class of whom we mention.
To give little illustration of how much
faith DIR. James Austin has in the flu
ture of Duluth, we abstract from the
Tribune very pertinent proposition,
which the DIR. seems willing to back to
its end. But his proposition is safe
from the reach of croakers. They never
invest dollar unless they can be posi-
lively guaranteed two in return, and
then they generally exact mortgage
on ones soul for fear the interest will
not pay all time and expenses.
Here is what the doctor has to say:
There being in Duluth, as in all towns,
quite n number of old croakers who
cannot appreciate prosperity, who sneer
at all kinds of SPOONS" who think and
wisely assert that many kinds of bust
ness are being rashly "overdone" here
at present, and who are wondering all
the time when the next setback for
Duluth is coming, as they seem con.
vinced it will GOMEZ wish to make
them a proposition that will give them
chance to prove the faith there is in
them: will bet any Of them $4,000
that within six years from date Duluth
wi II have population of 10000 within
radius of two miles of the present
passenger depot. Now, If any of these
men know what they are croaking
about, let them put up. If they don't
they ought to shut up; but whether
they do or not will make no difference
to the substantial growth of Duluth,
which will continue to boom while they
continue to croak, until it attains u
growth that in six years will make just
$4,000 ahead of anybody who takes
this bet. I make this proposition in
good faith, and if anyone has differ
ent opinion valued at an equal amount,
he will find me ready to put up and ar
range details, leaving the matter for
six years to settle.

Last year the property. owners of
MankatO were assessed II mills to de-
fray necessary city expenses and to liq-
uidate municipal bonded Indebtedness
of s. 900. This levy while high, has
had most gratifying result upon our
city finances. We have to-day in the
hands of the City Treasurer. upwards
of $l1 900; the expenses Of the year
have been met and the $1,000 paid.
The Council now ask that only $15 200
he raised for city expenses for the cur
rent year, which will necessitate the
levying of only about 8 mills upon the
taxable property as returned to the
County Auditor. Thus reduction OF
6 mills since last year is accomplished
and the city is to be congratulated.

A Baptist Minister's Experience

man, years a sufferer from quinsy; "Thomas
Electric OIL cured me-" was also troubled
with hoarseness, and Thomas Eclectric Oil
always relieved me. My wife and child had
diphtheria, and Thomas Eclectric Oil cured
them" and If taken in time il will cure seven
times out of ten. am confident it is cure
for the most obstinate cold or caugh, and if
any one will take a small teaspoon and half
tili II with the Oil. and then place the end of
the spoon in the nOstril and draw the Oil out
Of the spoon into the head by smiling as hard
as they can, until the Oil falls over into the
throat, and practice that twice week, don't
care how offensive their head may be, it will
clean it out and cure their catarrh. For deaf
ness and earache II has done wonders to my
certain knowledge. 1t is the only medicine
dubbed patent medicine that have ever felt
like recommending. and l am very anxious
to see 1t in every place, for | tell you that
would not be without it i'm my house for any
consideration. l am now suffering with a
pain like rheumatism I'm my right limb. and

When the County Board made up its
report, it did so IN the belief that the
assessment was fair and equitable, and
that it represented justly the valuation
of property returned by the several
town assessors. But the above report
of the State Board has changed the fig
ures materially, and while not pleasant
to reflect upon must be borne, inasmuch
as there is no redress from the decision
rendered. There was no change made
in the real property, hence it remains
as returned by our County Board.

Special Meeting Of Council.

The Council met in special session
Tuesday evening for the purpose Of
transacting important business.
The Mayor being absent on account
of indisposition, vicc-President Lamm
presided.
DIR. Warner, of the Board Of
Health, had hearing before the coun-
Gil in regard to sewerage. He stated
that the board had encountered serious
difficulty in enforcing drainage, owing
to the lack of proper sewerage or drain
age. The Board also had trouble in
abating nuisances on certain portions of
Hickory street. In the vicinity
where this difficulty exists are three
hotels which can not avoid the accumu-
la,ion of stagnant pools and other nui-
sances with the present want of sew.
erage to carry off the disease breeding
liquid and dccayed vegetables. Tho
Doctor was very emphatic yet every
way courteous in urging the council to
take cognizance of the requirements in
this locality, and suggested the con-
struction of n cheap board sewerage for
temporary Use and until the city should
adop: permanent and practical sewer
age system, which il would be forced
to do at an early date, if the health of
the city were to be considered.
The matter was referred to the com.
mittee on streets and alleys for exami-
nation, with instructions to report back
to the council the results arrived ut,
at next meeting.
Alderman Carney explained that the
matter of opening Rock street, between
Fifth and Sixth, which had been under
consideration for some time, was now
ready for action by the council. A
plat was furnished by Engineer Brown,
showing the entire lay OF the streets
and alleys which would I've opened by
the approval of the plat submitted. On
motion this was done, and in response
to petition submitted, Ofgrading Rock
street, the matter was referred to the
commissioners for a preliminary ex-
animation and an early report.
The matterof changing the hay mark
ct from Cherry to Main street, which
was previously referred to the commit
tee on Ordinances, was brought up and
u petition signed by II large number OF
business men in the locality requesting
the maintenance of the market ut its
present site read. The petition was
on motion, accepted.
The committee on taxes submitted
the following report:
We, the undersigned. Committee on Taxes,
recommend that tax be levied upon all the
taxable property OF the city Of MankatO as
returned to the County Auditor. that the
amount of $l5,OOO be raised to pay or defray
