The Boom Echoes.

The interest which was awakened at
the recent meeting of the real estate
men of Southwestern Minnesota, held
in this city, is still cchoing along
through every village and hamlet, down
the valleys, across the hills and up the
ravincs of every county and township
of Southwestern Minnesota. 1t grows
apace as it moves, and will continue to
grow until every man, woman and child
feels its influence. Such general and
spontaneous enthusiasm was never be-
fore seen. Everybody means business.
They have put their hands to the pillow
without any idea oflooking back. Their
motto is onward, with a determination
to place tie virtues of this section be-
fore the world in their proper light.
Southwestern Minnesota, of which Blue
Earth county occupies prominent pO-
sition, stands upon its own merits. 1t
has features of wealth outlined which
can be detected with the naked eye. 1t
needs only to be seen to be appreciated.
Here are presented diversities that no
Eastern State possesses. Here are, good
markets, good schools, ample transpor-
tation facilities, and in fact every con-
venience that could be desired for nc
quiring wealth and contentment. Come
to Blue Earth county, We discouraged
New England farmers leave your stone
furrowed lands and untillable mountain
peaks, for our broad and fertile fields OF
pasture and woodland. Come, where
labor is appreciated and safe returns
guaranteed.

Highwaymen and Footpads.

The day of these enterprising gentry
has not by any means passed into
oblivion. Their deeds of robbery are
oftentimes as bold to-day as they were
in the time of the famous Claude Duval.
Their numbers are apparently on the
increase, for scarcely do we pick up u
daily paper but We read of robberies,
bold and skillful, committed in all
parts of our land. And we are not ex
empt from the rascals here at home,
for only last Saturday evening, about
nine o'clock, while Mr.. f. Bates, OF this
city was quietly driving towards home
from Maplcton, wholly unconscious of
impending danger, he was startled by
a highwayman jumping from tho bushes
into his wagon and pinioning his arms
commanded in peremptory tones that il
any resistance was made, u bullet would
find Judgement in his body. OF course
this WAS sufficient To enforce obedience,
while another confederate proceeded to
rifle his pockets, and secured some so,
which represented the earnings of u
great deal of hard labor. After depriv-
ing their victim of his hard earned
wealth they quietly withdrew and al
lowed the gentleman to pursue his
way home.

The City in General.

1t is with UNSUITABLE pride that one
strolls about the city this spring and
notes the many material changes and
improvements which have been made
and are now in process of being made.
The new sidewalks, the innumerablc
shade trees, the general cleaning up,
the air of neatness which prevails on
all hands, are subjects of admiration.
tits evident that the pride of our people
is aroused to II just conception of our
city's natural attractions. The easy
grades, facilities for drainage, the
abundance and beauty of the shade
trees are source of qualification to our
selves, but have been admired in no
measured terms by visitors to our city.
Nature has performed wonders for us,
and We are pleased to know that our
people have not been slow to improve
the advantages thus offered. To those
who have not considered this question
in all its fu.lness, let them climb any
of the grand old bluffs and look dow
upon the city which nestles at its base
and observe the scene in all its lowell.
ness. And as their eye takes in the piano.
ramic scene far up and down the river,
they may contemplate the possible
changes to be made in the next decade

Mile hitla.

This prima donna, supported by a
splendid corps of musicians, under the
auspices of the Slayton Lyceum Bureau,
appeared at the Methodist church last
Tuesday night, before very Intelligent
and appreciative audience. Mile Litta,
we firmly believe, is the best singer ex-
cepting Emma Abbott, who ever APP
peared before a Mankato gathering.
In the perfect control of her voice, she
discounts Kellogg, while her bright
open countenance and modest manners
captivated her hearers. Every piece
she rendered was heartily encored.
Miss Oakford, contralto, wOa admi-
ration at once by her charming manners
and sweet voice, and she was well up
plauded after each piece.
Mr.. Cleveland, tenor, has strong,
durable voice but lacking in melody.
Bereghy, basso, was fair but produced
no great amount of enthusiasm.
Shelton, cornetist, proved himself IN
admirable player, and won hearty
plaudits.
Miss Nellie Bangs, pianeste, was ,
leading feature in the evenings enter
tainment, and proved a most thorough
and skiilful performer, the evidence o
many local musicians present, being
that Miss Bangs was the best playe1
who had ever visited this city.
The company in its entirety, was I
good one and well worthy of larg'
audiences. We would welcome then
another visit to this place.

The Opera House.

Shall VIC have q new Opera Housc2 Is
Il question of more than passing interest
to Mankato. There is no one feature
that more prominently aIvertises the
thrift and enterprise Of u city than II
neat and commodiously arranged house
for entertainments, and such an one is
greatly needed here. The walls of the
old Opera House have been examined
by competent architects who pronounce
them perfectly safe, and we understand
the property, including the grounds,
can be purchased at very low figures.
A stock company, composed of the
right material, could make an invest
ment of few thousand dollars ju the
erection and equipment of an Opera
House here hat would pay good
dividend. 1t has been asserted to us by
a gentleman who has means of knowing
that subscription Of from two to thr &c
thousand dollars could be readily
secured and donated for the purpose of
aiding the project provided the right
parties would take the matter in charge.
At the Board of Trade meeting next
Monday this matter should receive
consideration, and if possible secure the
organization of live stock company.
While we are considering the "boom"
question, let us consummate some means
whereby an Opera House shall be
erected.
p. S. Since the above was put in
type II subscription paper has been
started, and Geo. +. Brett, Esq, our
popular merchant, heads the list with
a donation of 800. We shall publish
the names of all who aid in this COM
mcndablc move.
