Cholera-infantum is said to be prevailing

which, with considerable other sickness,
keeps our local physicians very busy.
This afternoon the stock of ia. Samborn,
who recently made an assignment for the

Mr.. H. Zimmerman has been induced to

The funeral of Miss Jennie King, whose

noon from the residence of James Shoe
maker, where she has made her home, and
was very largely attended.
The examination of John Eddinger, who

A very brisk game of ball was played on
Monday afternoon, between the Crescents
of this city, and the Clippers, of Shakopee,
both amateurs, in which the former club was
successful, the score standing 16 to Z in
their favor. The Mankato boys are coming
up.
H. R. King, of the firm of King & Spencer,
druggists, of Aitkin, Mimi, and former res
ident of Mankato, is in this CITY, having
been called here to attend the funeral of his
sister whose sudden death on Saturday has
already been reported. He will return in a
day or two.
Morgan Brooks, who was recently wounded
in the abdomen by friend while out shoot
ing, and who has been in a critical condition
for some days, is reported to be out of dan
ger and very likely to recover. Some fifteen
shot struck him, but fortunately there were
very fine ones and did not produce serious
wounds.
s. II. Barrett s. Co. are out with bills for
"The Greatest Show on Earth" which will
favor Mankato on Saturday, August 3d.
The advent of circus will always be a
source of excitement to the small boy all
over the land, but unless the coming circus
is few degrees more pretentious than some
of its predecessors have been, they might as
well stay away as to attempt to spread their
canvass at Mankato. The last one that
visited these parts like the Arab ''folded
their tents and silently stole away from a
losing performance. The day of side shows
and circuses is, or ought to be ended. Our
splendid new opera house offers inducements
for both companies and audiences that are
first-class, and worthless shows ought to
learn to call somewhere else. Mankato is a
city that can afford better things.
The Minneapolis morning newspaper
printed in st. Paul, which sends.a few cop
les to Mankato, has adopted the same tactics
with their country correspondence that they
are in the habit OF playing on st. Paul and
Minneapolis when they want to avoid offend
ing the latter by any matter which tends to
show in favor of the former. They issue
two editions, one OF which contains ''News
from our NeIghbors," which they send to
'tOur Neighbors," and the other edition,
which they send to their regular list. This
was the case on yesterday, when the Man
kato package contained the ''News from our
Neighbors," which included Mankato items,
while papers bought on trains or in st. Paul
had no column of this. kind. 1t must be
highly gratifying to the citizens of Mankato
70 learn that special edition is printed by
this highly responsible paper with Mankato
news in it, while the balance of the edition
outside of the towns reported has none. 1t
makes this two faced journal fine medium
for advertising the fame Of Mankato among
few of our own people.
