NankatO "Ierielc. !"

One Of the institutions Of which Mankato
has good reason TO be proud, is the paper
named above. The founder Of it, Mr.. J. c..
Wise, is not only veteran publisher, but a
veteran Democrat, and during all these
years, when Democracy was anything but
popular in Minnesota, Mr.. Wise has achieved
a reputation by steadfast adherence to prin-
ciple by his publication of substantial
Democratic organ, at times almost solitary
and alone, for in many instances the strug-
Cling country papers on the frontier were
sadly tempted to suit their politics to the
postofiice, landofice, or other federal APP
pointment, which alone could save them
from a speedy death. In 1859 Mr.. Wise
started the Record, which he conducted for
number of years, but finally sold, and in 1869
founded the ReUieU, which he has since pub
lished. His steadfast adherence TO principle
has at last been rewarded by seeing those
principles triumph, and he can now enjoy
the supreme satisfaction of feeling that the
country has endorsed that which he has so
steadfastly fought for. Apart from his be
ing the veteran publisher, and that his course
has been always consistent, "a hard thing to
say of many publishers,) the establishment
he conducts is "a credit to any city. No print
ing house in southern Minnesota has a more
complete outfit or Is any better situated to
handle the business Of city like Mankato
than the ReOieO. A run through the estab-
lishment on yesterday brought 10 notice a
new improved Campbell cylinder power press,
which has recently been purchased and added
to the mechanical outfit, and which renders
this department now complete. The RetiaO
has its own steam power, and as before stated,
is credit to the city.

Em6Iems Of the Lime Kiln Club.
detroit Free Press

On motion Of Calamity Hastings the mat
ter Of a national emblem for the coIored race
was taken from the table for discussion. He
favored beehive himself but would not be
captious about it.
Prof. Bannister favored the coon as an
emblem. It represented industry, vigilance
and courage. Colored people were often re-
ferred to as coons, anyhow, and the emblem
would cut both ways.
Trustee Pullback had given the matter
much tho ught, but his preference was for an
old hen sitting on about thirty-four eggs. II
that didn't represent industry and clear grit
he didn't know what could.
Samuel Shin had made up his mind that
the only emblem he would vote for would be
that Of colored man walking in s shady
lane with a watermelon under each arm.
Sir Isaac Walpole favored the figure OF q
black bear; Elder Toots declared in favor Of
the beaver; Judge Cadaver would have moth
ing but the figure Of black man waving q
plough In one hand, threshing machine in
the other and crying, s'Yewrekai"
The discussion promised 10 bring forth no
fruit, when the President put stop to it by
saying:
"Gen'lem, at a meetin' of de Committee
on Harmony, Art an Agriculture, held in de
library last night, and an emblem was de-
cided on. 1t was dat of an eagle seated on de
fence between q co'nfeld an later patch,
while his claws hold a banner on which am
inscribed: Hard work will bring you plenty
of BOTH !"

itself into two rooms and n system of house

lclara Belle in Cincinnati Enquirer

r.
A clever artist has caught some OF us with
his brGnd-new motion. He is what may be
called an adGpter of the human face. He
works in water-colors and is really good
dabster with the brush. Oriental scenes are
his speeialty-that is to say, he made great
many of them, but they remained in his
studio for he hadn't the reputation necessary
to make his products saleable, The scenes
depicted we've Moorish, Japanese, East Indi-
an and so on, aud each had the figure of a
native girl, poised in the lazy incidence
Characteristic of far eastern life. One day a
young and fashionable visitor 10 his studio
imagined that the Japanese face in picture
bore a resemblance to her own oval, bru-
nette phiz, and on that account bought the
canvas.
eff that's all my paintings lack to render
them marketable said the artist, 'the
trouble can be remedied. I'll alter the faces
into Ikenesses on demand"
This fancy proved captivating. Every
Oriental damsel in his stock was speedil y
transformed into portrait of some NcNi
York belle, on cash orders, and then he be-
gan TO WELD his brush on new subjects. He
is an adept at making likeness while at the
same time preserving the distinctive type a
nationality demanded. A little water-colOr
picture hangs before me as write, in which
am a MoDgrel sure enough, and yet recog-
nj Fable, so neatly are the ideal and the real
blended. In Que case facetious girl has
had her olive complexion, pouting lips and
inky hair adapted to the features Of a mulat
to; but generally we order ourselves turned
into something more romantic. The Turk
holds the lead, and know dozen girls
who have had themselves put by paint into
harems.

Senator B. F. Rice, formerly a Mankato
attorney but at present enjoying a good
practice in Denver is here on a visit TO his

state was elected United States senator, serv-
ing the term Of six years.
He gave his name as James Donahue, bu

zrankato Choral socfe,v.

The movement which has been on foot for
some time past looking to the formation of a
prominent musical society in this city,
reached a climax on Tuesday evening by the
perfection of an organization which will be
known as the "Mankato Choral society,"
The meeting was held in the dental parlors
of DR.. d. f. McGraw, which were filed TO
overlooking with very select and interest
ing company, embracing some of the best
Docial and musical talent of the city. A
superb Emmerson piano from the music
store OF E. Blaisdell was furnished for the
evening, and after a short time passed
in chorus work proposition from Mr.. Geo.
Andrews was read, which upon motion Of DR..
McGraw was at once accepted and the society
proceeded TO the election of officers and the
adoption of a set Of bylaws. All
those present and who had
been invited by the committee
selected at a previous m Getting were declared
to be charter bers, and future member
ships were to be refused if these members
voted in the negative.
The following were the officers elected
President, DR.. d. f. McGraw; secretary,
Manly Haines; treasurer, Mrs. Geo. Fox;
musical director, Mrs. Geo. Andrews.
On motion the chair appointed the follow
ing as an executive committee: J. Williams,
chairman; E. Andrews, Miss Aria Wagner,
Miss Sue Gleason, Miss Carrie Ogle.
A resolution, assessing a withdrawal fee
of 81, unless the consent of the society was
first obtained, was passed, and Monday even
ing of each week selected as the evening fol
regular rehearsals.
The society take up the opera of H. M. s.
Pinafore with an entirely local cast. which
was made on Tuesday evening, and work
will at once be begun in that opera with the
view of giving it at an early date. The So
eiety embraces five members of the late An
drews opera company and in general has d
large amount of talent. The director, Mr.
Geo. Andrews, is a musical enthusiast and
imparts fire and life to the chorus. 1t will
be simply grand, as far as harmony and tone
are concerned, and when worked down fine
will give the people of Mankato a musical
treat The chorus will number at least fifty
voices and the opportunity for culture and
real enjoyment by the lovers of music is one
that all of them viii appreciate. Monday,
December s, win be the next rehearsal.

The ROL[er Queen.

The grand opening season of the new
Mankato roller rink which transpired on
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday evenings
of the present week was made more attract
i've by the appearance of Miss Nellie Fuller,
of Des Moines, Iowa, the roller queen of the
northwest and the acknowledged lady cham
MON skater of that section.
Her reputation has been most thoroughly
established at Mankato by several previous
appearances, but never has she appeared be-
fore under SO favorable circumstances as on
this engagement and' never has the pretty
little lady done herself so much credit. A
bright, puiqant, plump little blonde with the
loveIiest golden hair falling in great feeey
waves over her shoulders, with bright pleas
ant smile and winning ways, this little lady
of only eleven years Of age captivates her

audiences at sight. Her costume Of
rich crimson velvet trimmed with
swans down and crimson velvet skating cap
sets of her plump little figure to advantage,
and is exceedingly becoming while the in
Irritable grace and elegance Of her every
movement fill all who behold her with admi-
ration. Her perfect poise upon the treacher-
GUS rollers is something simply wonderful
and the grace with which every movement
is performed and the perfect time with which
she suits them TO the music is remarkably
pleasing. All the movements known to
professional skaters, sueh as pirouetting,
waltzlng polka step, backward skating upon
either heels or toes, are gone through with by
this youthful prodigy without the least APP
parent effort and without a single false step.
She also performs a feat which no lady
skater in the United States ever attempts 10
perform, which consists of skating upon a
pair OF common wood bottomed skates with
out straps or clamps and with only one set
Of rollers, the heel rollers being removed
Her performance Of this most wonderful
feat was greeted with a perfect storm Of ap-
plause.
Little Miss Nellie, however, needs no
newspaper praise and need not fear its cen
sure, her reputation has been so thoroughly
established by her own merit before the
public and with the rink managers every
where.
At the grand opening Of the Leland &
Croker rink in Minneapolis, decidedly the
! finest rink in the northwest, Miss Nellie, who
was the principal attraction, was presented
with a most magnificent pair Of Croker club
skates, gold and silver plated, and with the
case valued at 500.
She also opened the Summit avenue rink
!. st. Paul, and her dates for openings cover
the best Kinks now being built In the north
west. 1t is a veritatle pleasure 10 see this
charming little lady skate, and II is no won
der that rink managers every where are so
anxious TO obtain her as one of their best
attractions. Mankato people show the popu-
lar feeling Of favor and always welcome this
charming roller queen.

and his poverty made him to natures Of the
