The water in the river is still falling and
stood at twelve feet last night.
Up to 10 o'clock last night the city hall had
but few prisoners within its walls, and these

conductor on the Southern Minnesota road,
and left last night for La Crosse to take charge

The heavens were in state of glory, or
something else, last night. They looked as
though a thousand prairie fires were flaming
up in all directions, north, south, east and
west. It appeared as if there was kind of
heavenly fourth of July.
The distinguished Minneapolis newspaper
which is printed in st. Paul, thinks st. Vincent
is in Manitoba, and alludes to the great sale of
town lots now in progress here as Manitoba
realty. The trouble is that st. Vincent is
good ways from Indiana.
Col. Coolican, who does the oratorical part
of the business for the Winnipegers at Sher-
man hall, is good talker and speaks fuently
and well when dilating upon the greatness OF

made money in real estate. However that
may be, he deserves to have been successful,
for he is an exceedingly pleasant gentle
man,
The attention of the police Is called to the
practice by some establishments of sweeping
waste paper out upon the streets. 1t is not
only filthy practice, but the loose scraps
blown about by the wind are very liable to
brighten passing horses and lead to runaways.
A few arrests would probably result in put
ting q stop to the dirty and dangerous prac-
tice.
Mr.. r. W, Taylor, formerly OF the paint
shop of the st. Paul g. Manitoba road, and an
old citizen of st. Paul, has just finished paint
ing coach number eighteen, of this road. THO
work on the coach is of very superior or
der. 1t is painted in the standard colors of
that company, and is decorated with Chinese
ornamentation. A sheaf of wheat, as emble-
NAUTICAL of the product OF the great north,
is painted on each corner OF the coach and
looks quite natural. 1t is a beautiful piece of
work.
The man employed by Mr.. Dowlan, the act
ing mayor, has the work Of digging out the
man in the well on Dayton's Bluff, well under
way. The man who has taken the contract is
to be paid $500 and is to furnish his own tim
Der. He has commenced at the surface, and
will practically dig new well from the be-
ginning. That is to say, he is digging out the
old one by making it larger. The excavation
he is making is about five or six feet square,
and is boarded up as the man goes down with
2-inch stuff. The work has progressed down
about twenty-eight feet, and is good piece of
work as far as it has gone.
The last concert of the Great Western band,
the German society and Seibert's orchestra,
for this season, was given last evening at the
Athenaum to large and highly delighted
audience. These concerts have been con-
slant source of enjoyment all winter, and
have been growing in favor.
All the selections were well
rendered and were warmly applauded. The
most noticeable feature of the concert was
the cornet solo by Aug. Tilleman, which was
given with great purity of tone and fine ex-
ecution. A good many that have attended
these concerts have hoped that Mr.. Gilbert,
the flute player of the orchestra, would have
been given solo at one of the concerts. He
is very conscientious, careful and accurate
player and it would have given the friends of
the organization much pleasure to have heard
him in solo,
