the outlook was toward firmer market.
The Vernon and st. James creameries
were both represented by so tubs each,
and J. ii. Long & Co. offered so. There
was but little difference between the
asking and bidding price, and all that
was offered was sold at 16l to l6! cents.

-Mankato's sensations will not abate.
Another slight shooting affair occurred in
upper town Wednesday evening about
ten o'clock, which might have been a
fatal one as well as not. A party Of
Swedes were out on spree, and one of
them, Fritz Carlstrom, undertook 10 dis
play the excellence of his revolver, and
succeeded in shooting away part of the
forefnger of the left hand and putting q
ball through hig leg about halfway be-
tween the knee and hip. He escaped
fortunately, though the wounds will lay
him up for some time. He will, un-
doubtedly, have to put up for shooting
within the city limits, besides paying a
doctor bill.
-Newell's Madison Square company
commenced their weeks engagement at
the Opera House Monday evening by
presenting the we'll known drama Can,

is good one and they have been well
patronized, their low prices proving a
success in drawing big houses. Those
who have not yet attended will miss il
by not doing 80.
