SIDEWALKS.


The Mankato Pipe Co. are now taking
orders for cement stone sidewalks for
delivery next spring. The blocks of
which the walk is composed are hex
agonal in shape, and can he made ofany
color desired. They are as durable rs
stone and much cheaper, and are large
ly in use in st. Paul and Minneapolis.
The cost of this walk will be $l.75 per
square ward laid, and all blocks which
become worn or cracked by eason OF
defective workmanship will be replaced
without cost to the purchaser for the
first three years.
In order that the blocks may be suffi-
cientfS hardened and exposed before
laying, they should be at least four
months old, therefore, parties desiring
the best sidewalk in the world should
send in their orders now.

TIE Circuit Court ut Cincinnati rem
dered Il decision yesterday in the cleo
ton maudamus case of Hamilton coun.
ty, giving the Republicans the four Sena-
tors. 1t is very probable that the Demo
Gratis will appeal'to the Supreme Court.
There is no question but that the most
bare-faced frauds were committed in
Cincinnati by the Democrats. In fact
the testimony adduced has proven thii
to be a fact at every stage of the pro

REPORT OF THE RELIEF SOCIETY
FOR le04.e6.

Since our last annual meeting we have
passed through u winter OF more than ordin
AIRY sevcrity-bringing its consequent needs
| Most OF our orders have called for wood am
provisions, showing 0ur poor are becoming
more se%lf-supporting In their ability to pro
vide clothing. We have had but few meeting
for sewing, one q case of loss by fire. Sick
ness and death have caused several cases oi
continued want. Thirty-three families have
been aided in various ways. Through our eff.
icient and active president, who has given
such a large share of her m to the work
many cases have been sought and relieved
Meetings have been held the first Tuesday In
every month till July. Two meetings were
called In October. with very poor at tendance.
Our citizens nave shown more than usual in
terest and confidence In the society by their
generous contributions. In closing we would
ask all who are elected to Offices In the coming
year to faithfully fulfill their duties, that no
one may feel the burden too great. This is
the Lords wOrk-may II be done as In his
sight. Has he not said "Inasmuch as We have
don Il unto one of the least of these, my
brethren, We have dom 1t unto me-"

The Opera Roller Rink will have
he attraction of the season this and to-
morrow evenings, IT being the occasion
of the first appearance IN Mankato OF
the Champion combination fancy and
trick skaters, Miss Nellie Towers and
Prof. W. L. Dolson. The young lady is
said. TO he the only silt skatress in the
world. Wherever these young people
have appeared the press and public are
lound IN their praise of the VARYING and
very graceful movements and difficult
feats performed. The price Of admis-
sion has been placed at 81 cents-skates
rs usual. II is quite likely that the
Opera rink will be crowded upon both
the evenings mentioned To witness these
experts.
1t is rather humiliating the friends
of our Receiver of the Tracy land office,
To have him exhibit his ignorance 10 the
world at large, by telegraphing Commits
sioner Sparks for definite instructions as
to the applications for the indemnify
railroad lands which have been certified
To the State for railroads, or patented.
He would have exhibited equally as
much intelligence as To the duties apper-
tanning to his office, had he asked the
Commissioner for definite instructions
as to the disposition of the funds he
draws rs salary, after the same shall
have come into his possession by virtue
of service performed, or supposed to
have been performed. Until it could
be proven that he had no right to this
money, he could unquestionably retain
possession of it. Until it can he shown
that the railroads have no right to the
lands in question, ordinary intelligence
would be sufficient to instruct an official
that he conld recognize no applications
for possession of some one else's proper
ty and 50 the L. :. Commissioner in
formed our Receiver. p. X. is gradual
ly getting on.

The school was opened In the basement OF
the NJ. f. church the first Saturday In Septem.
her, and continued TIL Christmas. The severe
cold and difficulty OF heating so large a room,
comfortably, obliged us to close il for the
winter. II was reopencd In June and con-
tinued through the summer, meeting every
Wednesday morning from Q to II o'clock
Many useful garments were made and more
cleanliness ana order manifested The school
was not so large rs formerly. The season
doubtless had an influence, as the poor are
apt To look upon II as u means Of getting
clothing rather than learning how to sew and
keep themselves neat and tidy. Several of
our teachers left town In September for the
winter and we were obliged To close earlier
than usual. II was open seven months. We
shall continue 1t after the cold season has
passed, and hope more of our ladies will show
an interest in this branch of our work, by Civ.
ing II a share of their time and support.
Having hut little fuel to buy, twenty dollars
will be sufficient for the needs In the coming
year.
