SHAKOPEE.
Liquor ana druggist license taxes are all
paid in.
Strawberry festivals are becoming nu-
merous.
Ice cream saloons have become the tryst-
ing places.
The city has $500 to expend on streets
this summer.
The street force are working with in
creased number.
No icity hall this season-so says tie
common council.
Roads leoding into the city are being
properly repaired.
No circus has honored Us with its
presence the present season.
Shakopee can boast of more shade trees
than any city of its size in Minnesota.
Preparations are being made to cele-
brate the Fourth of July with becoming
patriotism. 1t is understood that C. A.
Stephens viii be the orator of the day. A
parade of InYincibles in the forenoon, pic
mic on north side of river in the afternoon
and dance in the evening is the programme
mapped out.
The ebullient enthusiasm which mani
tested itself this spring in contemplating
the establishing of manufactures of every
description, has vanished as suddenly as
it appeared. 1t was not healthy agita-
ton, and it is perhaps better On the whole
that it ceased before assuming any definite
shape. Shakopee has at present
two industries that can and will
prove boom if properly cared for. Too
many irons in the fire. could truly be said
if all of the recommendations and pro-
posals made this spring hsd
been adopted and accepted. Tbs
Wmpach Manufacturing company can
cannot, at present, for lack Of capital, turn
out the requisite number of wagons and
sleighs to meet the demand; its force
could be quadrupled and still it would fall
short; it would therefore be folly to go
into any experiment when such q splendid
field for capital is opened right in our
midst, an institution that IS staunch, sue
cessfuI and solid, and viii pay the invest
ment. The right plan to pursus Is, in
stead of scattering capital in investing it
in dozen or so of enterprises to consoli-
date and mass the same into these two in
stitutions,ie. the Wampach Manufacturing
company and the brass ana iron works
double the capital Of each, or at least in
crease each so per cent, thereby furnish
| ing Labor 10 quadruple the present num-
Der employed and success will be an as
sured fact. This would be an enterprise
in the right direction and the kind of en-
terprise that would be commendable and
desirable.

Scott county being inhabited by law
abiding citizens the grand jury had very
little work to Go except the usual routine
work and after handing IL the following
report, and reporting that they had no
| further business were discharged by order
of the court:
SHAKoPEE, Mimi. June 10, 1888.
| To the Honorable j. L. Macdonald, Judge
Of District Court, Eighth Judicial Dis
trict:
We, the grand jury of the county Of
| Scott, for the June term, 1888, of the dis
trict court in and for the county of Scott,
respectfully submit the following report
We examined the treasurer's and audi
tors offices and find that the treasurer ha:
in his poss ession all the funds with which
the auditor has that Office charged; we
find that these officers have their offices
and books IN a very good and satisfactory
condition.
Upon careful examination of the Office
of clerk of the district court we find that
several town officers whose duty il is to
file their official bonds in said Office, have
wholly neglected so to do; and also that the
clerk has not sufficient safe or vault room
for the safe keeping and protection of the
books and files of his Office, and would
recommend that the county commissioners
provide suitable safe or vault room fol
said Office.
We find the register of deeds and Judge
of probate jointly occupying one room
entirely insufficient for the convenience OF
those two officers, most especially so when
we find that there are several unoccupied
rooms in the rear part of the court house
we therefore recommend that for the use
and occupancy of one or the other of these
officers suitable room be put in order
and while rooms are being repaired in the
| back part of the cour5 house
we would further recommend thai
the treasurer's Office be enlarged
the latter Office being entirely too small for
the accommodation of the public. We fnC
the Jail and sheriff's Office in neat ani
satisfactory condition, there being NJ
prisoners N the Jail at present.
