Christ mas afternoon the police wal
notified of a shooting affair down the
track in Dukes addition, which may
prove to be very serious. /,
appears that a brace of Norwegians took
on a little too much booze" and one
opened up an indiscriminate fire with
his revolver, finally putting it to his
own breast and firing, infiicting a bad
wound. He is seriously injured,
and may yet die from the effects.

-Mrs. Carl Dice came very near
"crossing the river Tuesday evening
by administering to herself an over.
dose of laudanum. She wal suffering
quite severely from headache in the
afternoon and to alleviate her pain took
the dose. When discovered, about
7:30, her condition was such as to cause
much alarm, and it took the aid of med.
ical assistance and rigorous restoratives
to arouse her from the stupor into
which the opiate had put her. Mrs.
Dice claims that she took but fifteen
drops of the liquid. ESQ, the drops
were likely pretty large. The lauda
mum was certainly very powerful, az
there was but little left In the bottle.
She had Q very narrow escape.

TWO SIDES THAT FIGURE QUITE
DIFFERENTLY.

In the issue of the RerieU ofDecember
Sth, the city council is criticised for per-
forming the labor upon streets and walks
through the street commissioner, and
that official is charged with consuming
two or three times al much money as
the same work could be done for under
the contract system. The criticisms
were brought out by reference to the
cross-walk in front of the Mankato
House. The mathematician of the
Reriec went into the minutest detail in
his enumerations and found that this
walk cost the city just 2 .95, and then
10 illustrate the extravaganza of our
street commissioner he remarked {:
There are a half dozen responsible
contractors in our city, either of whom
will put in a similar crossing for So,
furnishing all material"
Street Commissioner Schlingerman
is justly indignant oyer the
statements of the RerieW regarding the
cost of this walk, feeling, as is Il fact,
that he has been maligned without
aus or provocation. The Reriew claims
that $52.47 was paid for labor alone on
this job. Mr.. Schlingerman saws that
there were just l3t days. work. put in at
81 80 per day, which makes a total of
$3.50. The stone cost $23. O4, and gray
ell, used in filling, $500, making the job
cost the city $44.25 III round figures, or
IS cents less than the "half dozen re-
sponsible contractors" had offered to do
it for. The Street Commissioner asked
Capt. Beatty to figure on the job and he
said it would be worth $5l 80. Thus it
will be seen that Mr.. Schlinge rman did
the job at a less cost to the city than was
offered by any contractor and a little
more than half the amount charged to
him by the RepieW. But this is not the
first time Wise has seen fit to misrepre-
sent the Commissioner and very likely
it will not be the last.
But Mr.. Schlingerman is quite able to
hold his own with the public, despite
the efforts and desires of the Recieu edi-
tor to cast an odium upon his official

STANDARD FIBER-wARE co.

A few weeks ago we announced that
the Messrs. Willard Brothers of this city
had commenced the erection of large
and substantial buildings in lower town
for the purpose of putting in a fibre and
paper mandatory, and from time to
time have noted the progress of the
work. In this weeks paper we publish
articles of incorporation of the new COM
pany, which begins its corporate exist
ence to-day. These will give the public
a more definite understanding of the
aims and purposes of the company. The
firm is the STANDARD Fiber-Ware Com
pany" with John A. Willard, Myron G.
Willard and Daniel q. Willard as incor-
porators, and their business will be to
manufacture, and deal in articles made
of different kinds Of fiber material.
The amount of capital stock is fixed at
$4,000, divided into 500 shares of 800
each.
The extremely fine weather has ena-
bled these gentlemen to complete their
buildings in full, and their Especial"
machinery is ready. The full equip
ment will be placed during the winter
in readiness for work In the early
spring.
This enterprise will certainly prove of
substantial benefit to all this section Of
Southern Minnesota, as it will give our
dealers opportunity to ecure this line
of goods at first cost, enable farmers to
utilize their flax seed and other straws
with financial benefit to themselves, and
give our city and her a wider
and more favorable acquaintance.
The character and business tact of the
gentlemen forming the company is suffi-
GENTLY known in this community to in
spire Implicit confidence IN the success
and future growth of their new enter
prise, and the public may rest assured
that more of Mankato's many posi-
bilities has been raised to actual realiza-
ton.

THE SEA SERPENT
Again Seen IN the Hudson River by Diff
feTent Parties.

RoNDAUT, N. Y, Sept. 2.
The sea serpent which was seen Sunday in
the Hudson river, near Kingston Point, is
making repeated appearances. The man in
charge of the burned Daniel Drew's hulk
says he saw it last night. 1t was swimming
north with its head raised about five feet out
of water. but turned ont of its course long
enough to chase two young men who were
rowing in a small boat. They reached the
Duchess County shores in safety but were
terribly frightened. The monster grew furi-
GUS when it saw the young men escape and
lashed the water with its tail which seemed
to be about rs feet distant from
its head. Its head was as large around
as -four barrel and its ewes
of greenish hue, looked "devilish." Before
starting up the Hudson again it squirted from
its mouth stream of foamy stuff, resembling
long shavings from a pine plank. Capt
Conkling of the John H. Cordts also saw the
serpent. He gave it the right of way in the
channel. 1t was seen again this morning
abreast of the Flat Bush ice houses. To an
iceman it appeared to be an immense tree
floating leisurely along with the tide. This
notion was dispelled, however, when the sup
posed tree threw about 20 feet of its length
out of the water. Others have seen the ser
pent and their descriptions of the monster
agree.
