But he had her. He was a superbe

PULLED"

Gun police event down" for a brace of
gamblers Tuesday afternoon and
promptly took them before Judge Por-
ter for examination. Earle Best was
arrested on complaint of Chief Welch
for conducting a gaming table in the
city of Mankato on Dec. 10Th, and Serve
Gonga for the same offense on the 27nd
inst. Both men pleaded guilty to the
charge and were fined accordingly, Best
getting S35 and cost amounting in all to
$37. 80, and Gonga $40 and costs. footing
up to 1926. Best conducted his table
in block fourteen where he recently put
in dye works, and Gonga his in rooms
i'm the old Merchants hotel building.
These are the first cases of the kind
ever brought out in the city's history.
Though there has doubtless been such
places conducted, these are the only
ones that have been Enabled by law"
and all law abiding citizens and those
who have regard for the welfare of our
young men will feel profound satisfac-
ton that it has been done. There is no
form of gaming so alluring in its fasci-
nation as the gamblers table, Il fact
which the "bled" purses and grieved
families of scores of unfortunate victims
in larger cities prove conclusively.
When once its grip is on, nothing, not
even thoughts of vanishing home com-
forts and ruined prospects and fortune,
will dissuade a man from indulgence.
1t usually requires the combined power
of abject poverty and crushing dispair
to loosen its hold, a state of things aw-
full to contemplate. The mayor and
police should not lack for good square
backing in work of this kind from the
public of Mankato, for We can author
itatively state that not a few of our
hopeful young men have already felt
the thrill of the games enchantment,
and seen their hard earned cash slip
into the gamblers pocket. 1t has taken
several months of careful work to bring
the perpetrators to justice, but it is to be
hoped hat the result will stay the pro-
gress of the evil.

May g., 1885.
A Windsor audience has seldom, il
ever, listened to a finer display of tai
ent than that shown by the Redpath
Concert Company last evening IN Re-
form Club Hall. The house was well
filled and the assembly listened with
rapt attention as each part of the pro-
gramme was taken mp. Encore after
encore was given. Miss Chamberlain
electrified her hearhrs by her scientific
whistling, especially the solo entitled,
'The Mocking Bird" Miss Christie, in
her selections on the violin, elected the
applause she deserved, as she is indeed
a wonderfully fine player. Mr.. Glider
showed to the public that he was per-
fectly at home on a piano, and his fine
touch was particularly noticeable. Mr..
REYNOLDS has a fine rich voice with full
compass, and is inimitable in his humor-
Gus recitations and songs. The concert
is to he repeated this evening and we
trust they will be given the house they
so well merit. At Opera House, Jan. |.

are water pipes and valves and through
connections in the engine room every
