The New Railroad.

The paper in circulation to secure 800
signatures to the indemnity bond now
has about 800 signers. But the mac
tivity of some and the downright oppo-
sition of Others is rendering progress
very slow, albeit the 500 names are gong
to he secured in spite of all obstacles.
1t Is strangely peculiar tc understand
how men Of property interests here can
oppose the voting of this small bonus
un less it be from selfish motives. To
be sure every man is guided in his ac-
tons more or less through selfishness,
but where the city could gain such III
calculablc benefits through the con-
struction of the Mankato, Austin & st
Cloud railroad, it would seem that these
parties are blinded to the real facts and
to their own pecuniary interests.
The advantages that this road will
open to Mankato have been thoroughly

not propose in this connection to go
over the ground again. What is want
ed now, is that everybody interested In
the future greatness of the city, take
hold and aid in securing the balance OF
the signatures necessary to complete
the indemnity bond, and thus discharge
duty in which all should feel like
responsibility.
Citizens. arouse yourselves upon this
question, and so far as Mankato is con-
cerned, say that we want the Mapkato,
Austin L. st. Cloud road, and also that
we are willing to put up the paltry
$4,000.

- A new time table went into effect
ON the Omaha road Sunday. The morn
ing st. Paul train runs on the same
schedule time and the noon train ar
rives here five minutes earlier. The
afternoon train goes down to st. Paul,
at 800 instead Of 3:l4 as heretofore.
There is no change in the running time
OF the evening train. A radical change
was made on the Blue Earth branch.
The train which went to Blue Earth
City at o 30 in the evening now goes at
10 AS, and the afternoon train arrives
from that place at :40--about an hour
earlier. The night trains remain the
same. Conductors run straight through
from st. Paul to Sioux City without
change, u distance of nearly 275 mics.

The Mapkato Creamery.

We can say to the farmers who are
expecting to sell cream that the Man
kato Creamery will be in operation not
later than May 18th and somewhat earl
Ter if buildings are rented.
We believe that the company who
are to own and run it, think it will be
for their interest, as well as the right
thing to ,lo to deal fairly with those who
furnish cream.
We think that present prospects arc
for tair prices for creamery butter and
very low for store butter. The stats.
tics of 1882 show in round numbers 300
100000 pounds of butter made in pri-
vatc dairies and 10000, 900 in creamer-
les. This explains the present prospects
IN low prices of store butter. If the
creamery was in operation here now IL
cents per pound could be paid.
Would it not be good plan for
farmers who can increase their diaries
to do 500 Cows are high here, but we
learn that in sections where there are no
creameries to be started this year, farm.
ers are proposing to sell off their COWS,
store butter is so low.

the s 30 p. NJ. train; and let me say to
all who contemplate coming west unless
you have baggage of some consequence,
do not load your trunk to exceed 100
pounds, as it is rather expensive. My
trunk weighed 2O5 pounds at Mankato,
and gained five in coming here, and I
have been obliged to pay $40 on the ex-
cess of the 100 pounds to San Francisco.
The season does not seem to he much
ahead of Minnesota. l could see snow

gan gradually to disappear. and after
Missouri Valley Junction was passed,
farmers were going into their fields to
work, and from that point We could see

went to get it Phelps says, "Here It's,
all in gor,iea seeds!'' 1t is said Hust-

whether he meant it for the seeds or
