The concert given in Normal Hall
last Saturday evening for the benefit OF
the lolanthean Society, was not as large
ly attended as the character of the en-
tcrtainment would warrant. However,
there was very fair-sized audience
present, and the singing was excellent
There is every probability that
Messrs. J. ID. Harding Il Co, will Sc
cure the contract for making two mann
moth boilers for use in the MankatO
Cement Work. The gentlemen are Ca
pablc OF turning out as good boilers as
are made in America, and the awarding
of such large contract Is a compliment
To their skill. The cost OF the boilers
will appropriate about $1,000.
The very latest dance out is the
Minnesota Cadet Lancers. We have just
received sample copy of the music
from Dyer Il Howard, st. Paul, which
gives iull directions for dancing it as
taught by Prof. II. ii. Evans last win

Our young folks should send fora copy
and then we'll all dance the Cadet
Lancers.

building. Negotiations are now pend

event that the matter assumes tansi-
ble shape meeting of the stock holders
will be called.

branching out in all directions in the

Lea and Blue Earth City, and we I'M
derstand that they arranged last week
for putting one in at Rochester. Messrs.
Long 4 Son are enterprising gentlemen
full OF business. and wherever they see
fit to establish branches, the towns thus
selected will receive benefit in the
way of business.
Mr.. w. T. Mills has leased his but
ter and egg packing establishment and
cold storage room on South Front street
TO Messrs. Lawrence, Straight 4 Co.,
for the period of one year from May LIST.
This building will unqestionably make
the finest creamery IN the Northwest,
and is undeniably as convenient for the
business rs any could possibly be made
We understand that Mr.. Mills will not
retire from business, but that he will
continue Ia purchase butter and eggs as
formerly.
