The engineers of st. Paul and Min
neapolis, after test of four days, de.
cided that the Mankat0 cement was
the best for all purposes, and that
hereafter it would be used ex.
clusively in those cities for all public
works.
If the editors of the Mankato papers
will take the trouble to consult the fig
ures in Mr.. Bickel's Office they will
find that the village of New Ulm pays
more revenue tax than all the territory
buying stamps at Mankato. So. Peter

Levi Davis, the Vermont churn
man, did not find New Ulm a fruitful
field, and he pulled up stakes and left,

A yourg man named Joseph Poncin
of St. Peter died from lockjaw a few
days ago caused by stepping on a nail
which entered his foot. Too much

properly treated it will almost in
variably result in sonnet hing seri-

During the storm Of Tuesday night
of last week lightning struck Mr.. Jos.
Gilley's stable in Courtland, killing
one of his horses instantly. The in
dications were that the electric ball en-
tered the horses ear and passed clear
through his head, as blood was oozing
from his ears and n0strils when dis.
covered. The stable caught fire, but
the flames were extinguished before
any damage was done.
The Winona Republican is authori-
ty for the statement that forty men
including the captain of Company K,
Second regiment, at Little Falls, have
signed petition asking to be dis

petition has yet been received at regi.
mental headquarters, though it is
quite generally understood that the
company will soon be mustered out
aud it's place filed with new compa-
ny at st. Cloud.
