Engagement Ertraordinurv.

The engagement of the Matte Vickers
Dramatic combination for Thursday evening
October 80, upon which this celebrated act
ress will appear at the new opera house in
'Thc Tramp's Daughter" supported by her
own select company, is another evidence
that the demand for better class of enter
tainments is being felt and recognized in
this city.
The celebrity of Matte Vickers is almost
world wide, and the task of securing her even
for single evening at Mankato involved
considerable effort as well as direct guar
antee on the part Of the gentlemen who will
play her here, and their final success shows
that they have full faith that the drama lov-
ing people of Mankato will not
leave them in the lurch. The
Messrs. Andrews have very pluckily
port needed to secure the charming and tai
ented woman, and they need have no fears
but the citizens will give them their patron
age on that occasion. ''The Tramp's Daugh-
ter'' is a new emotional drama, and is one
that is well adapted to the special capabilities
of Miss Vickers. The numerous fattering
notices which she has received from Chicago
and other metropolitan papers since she has
begun to play it is safe guarantee as to the
merit Of the play itself, and as for the little
lady herself she will find her way to the
favor of Mankato people as readily as she
does TO other audiences all over the country
Reserved seats will be for sale at Taylor's

Hon. j. B. Brisbsn at Mankaso.

John B. Brisbin spoke to large and en-
lhusiastic audience at the new Opera house
last evening upon the political issues of the
day. The Germania band paraded the
streets, and the house was readily filed.
Mr.. Brisbin made personal comparison Of
the two candidates. Mr.. eveland,
who, Mr.. Window said, had no
record, thu speaker showed had the
best record in the world in every official
position he had ever filed, and particularly
as governor Of the great state Of New York,
every official act Of which was in the interest
of an honest government and the good Of
the people. The record of Mr.. Blaine was
also carefully reviewed and his acts Of in
efficiency and dishonesty clearly shown. The
speaker was repeatedly and enthusiastically
cheered, and at times the audience gave ut
terence to bursts Of eloquence, the likes
which were seldom heard here before, and
of which the late speech of Mr.. Window was
totally devoid. The speech lasted till nearly
II O'Clock, the closing portion of which was
devoted to brief review Of Mr.. WINDOWS
labored effort upon the tariff.
His vigorous and well chosen rhetoric, brist-
ling full as it was Of pure logic, melted Mr..
WINDOWS arguments away as frost before
the sun. The speech, on the whole, was a
mastery effort, and struck right hard to the
pith Of the questing at stake.

Miss Nellie Pay returned on Sunday from
a short visit to friends in Iowa.
The Andrews Opera company rendered the
sparkling opera, ''The Sleeping Queen" at
the Opera house, Saturday evening, with
their usual standard of excellence.
IA large number of teams passed through
the city yesterday from Watertown, D. T.,
where they have,been working on the Mime
apolis and ST. Louis railroad. They were on
their way to Dodge center.
VIM. II. Wright gave exhibitions of his
skill on rollers at the Opera Roller rink, Sat-
urday night, to goodly number of specta-
tors. He is master of the art of skating,
and his peIsonation of the dude took well
with the audience.
John Peter Hoerr, who recently took
couple of car loads of hogs to Chicago, re-
turned yesterday with Mr.. c. j. McBeth, who
accompanied him there. The gentlemen
were in Chicago in time to witness the grand
Cleveland and Hendricks torchlight process
sion, 20, 900 strong, and also visited the city
of Milwaukee, reporting very pleasant as
well as profitable trip all around.
Mr.. Geo. H. Hammer, of Washington
City, D. c., is in the city visiting his many
Van Vert, o., friends, at which place he
formerly resided. He expects to locate here
and engage in business another spring. 1t
is just such men as Mr.. Hammer appears to
be who are valuable additions to any town,
and just such as Mankato needs to help her
onward to the commercial importance which
she is entitled to.
An attempt was made on Friday evening
to enter the residence of Mr.. q. S. Hatch,
near sherk's grocery, but proved unsuccess-
full. The hour was between IL and -, but
the parties attempting to force an entrance
became frightened and disappeared. 1t is a
I pity that some of the midnight marauders
who have infested the city for some time do
not get into the wrong house and get their
carcasses filed with cold lead. It would only
| be their just deserts, and would probably
put damper upon this business for short
| time at least.
On Saturday an individual entered the
saloon next to Mr.. Rusches store and in a
short time made himself little more num-
erous than is ordinarily necessary. He was
| full and undertook to run affairs at the
saloon and in q short time with the promis-
cious exhibition of revolver drove every
body out of the saloon and took sole charge,
and was ruler of all he surveyed. Officer
Sheldon made his appearance, and when he
did so this individual calmly invited the
officer to drink with him. Mr.. Sheldon
thought that the lookup was the best place
for the man, but he differed with the officer
and needed considerable persuasion. He
was yanked to the lock up where he sobered
off, He came before court little wiser, but
not quite so beautiful and plead guilty to
drunk and disorderly. Judge Porter find
him IS and costs, and discharged him on
payment of the same.

awarded to the former.
The pay roll of the department amounting
to Sc, 731 81, with S120 added for FIRE alarm
expenses for October, was approved and re-
ferred to the city comptroller.
The committee to whom was referred the
subject of purchasing new hose reported in
favor of the amount called for at the last
meeting and it was voted to ask the counsel
to give the commissioners liberty to pur-
chase the same.
The matter of paying one Sullivan wages
for the month of August, during which time
he was under suspension and waiting the
decision of the commissioners, was post
poned until the next meeting.
Commissioner Parker, from the committee
on machinery, stated that engine Mol on ac-
counts of its locality near the Market house,
and chemical Mol needed no bell that engine
No. had 700 pounds iron bell, and en-
gines No. Sand No. had metal bells of 600
and 200 pounds each; that enignes Nos. 5
and needed bell of 500 and 600 pounds
each, respectively, and chemical No. 2 600
pound bell. These three bells
would cost S515 and towers On two of the
houses to hold them would cost about $50.
A motion was made to ask the council to en-
power the commissioners to purchase the
bells to which was coupled the amendment
that the watchmen in the several engine
houses should ring out the alarms thereon at
night so that people in their vicinity could
know where fires were located, and if near
their property thus be notified of the fact.
The motion was tabled to await vote of the
full board. Adjourned.

HELENA, Mont, Oct. 27.-saturday Pat
Fenton, Boulder valley ranchman, while
returning home from Helena with 81, 500 in
his possession, was stopped by two masked
men at the top Of the Boulder range, the
same spot where coach was held up last
Monday for the rescue of road agent prison
ers. The robbers got only few dollars in
change, Fenton having taken the precaution
to hide most of the money in his boot.
Sheriff McDermott followed the trail
of the robbers, and arrested one here this
evening. He viii not give his name. The
road agents for whose rescue the attempt
was made Monday, were brought back TO
Helena tonight under guard Of twelve men.
Their friends had again organized to rescue
them, and signs of them we're seen along the
road across the mountain, but the guard was
evidently too strong for them, and SO no at
tempt was made.
