corporations say this great saving to the con-
sumers. amounting in the aggregate 10
eight aud hall million dollars per year,
will be brought about by an abandonment
of the present system Of suspensions in min

Mr.. A. E. Smith appears this evening at
the Manksto Roller rink, where he will give
the new and novel entertainment of twenty
five separate movements upon stills, besides
turning handsprings and all ordinary feats
of expert roller skating. Admission Is cts.
Music by Military band.
The attendance at the Opera house on last
evening to witness the third performance of
Rank and File was better then the proceed
ing evenings, and the rendition of the drama
showed a much better state of perfection on
the part of the performers all around. The
concluding programme occurs tonight.
The most perfect illustration of human de-
pravity has been discovered at Mankato.
Upon yesterday a man called at the Central
pharmacy collins & Coz and asked for
copy of Pilgrims Progress. copy was
shown him valued at So cts, at which price
he kicked, but proceeded to read the volume
with apparent interest. While those on duty
at the store were busy the party reading the
book walked out with it clinging to his per-
son. If this does not demonstrate the fact of
total depravity mething ought to be at once
shown. The party is known and had better
return the book.
j. BoOkwalter, U. s. collector of customs
at st. Vincent, and former resident of this

A mammoth sign, tweuty-six feet long
and six feet wide, which reads: ''Star Of

the establishment of Manderfeld & Payne,
which with another that reads sPriuting,"
awaits shipment TO Pipestone, Mimi, which
means that Bro. Hart is not ashamed to let
his light shine. The letters are red, blue
and black upon a white ground, and the
work is neatly and tastefully done. 1t must
be confessed that this is all that remains to
make the Star office the best and most at
tractiye local Office in all southwestern Min
nesota, and its plucky editor deserves all the
good luck which has come to him.
The horrible slaughter in books continues
at the Central Pharmacy, and thousands of
people have taken advantage of the wonder
full prices offered to lay in a stock of reading
matter which will afford them many hours of
quiet enjoyment The best of it all is that
it is all standard and useful literature and
no trash-a remarkable thing at the present
day.

New HAVEN. Dec. 5--The labor difficult
les between the employers aud striking hat
ers OF South NorwaIk eliminated tonight
in public demonstration. Rumors OF i'm
portation OF non union men brought out the
strikers in force, and while no open violence
was committed the threats of the mob so
alarmed the manufacturers they tele-
graphed Gov. Waller as follows:
''The manufacturers of South Norwalk would
most respectfully call upon You for prOtec-
ton, the city being in the hanis OF q mob.
Our lives and property are in danger. The
mayor and sheriff are unable to give Us req
uisite assistance"
Special dispatches to the morning Noes
state the city is in control of q mob, aud, al
though no open acts of violence have been
as yet perpetrated, the public fear is
very evident. Manufacturers and officers
are in close communication, while delega-
lions patrol the streets and d large mob sur
rounds the depot watching all incoming
trains.
A later dispatch from South Norwalk SAYS:
A committee of strikers joined with the
sheriff in issuing the follow
ing bulletin at midnight: ''No
riot, no disorder, nor fires at south
Norwalk. Tue city is perfectly quiet and has
been, and good order prevails, all reports to
the contrary notwithstanding"
Despite this, however, few persons will go
to bed in South Norwalk tonight, and fears
OF serious trouble in the morning is every
where felt a special committee of the
strikers is detailed to watch every train from
New York and Danbury.

strikers are continually growing more des-
perate. Some Of them drinking freely. 1t
will be more than remarkable if collisions do
not occur. The report that a delegation of

in the morning is going tdineite the turbu-
lent. 1t is hinted by the friends Of the
