for the benefit of Mrs Logan, witt
81 900, and sent invitations 10 hundreds
of Mrs. Logan's friends and admirers
throughout the country asking them tc
contribute. The Western Union Telc
graph company rendered the free use %

The responses are now coming in rapid

COUNCIL MEETING.
Toledo, y.
Bey" Sold by Druggists, IS cts.

] \ special meeting of the council oc
Cured Tuesday night. The special OBJ
ject of the meeting WAS for the vacation
of streets and alleys for purposes of the
Cannon Valley railroad and for the
furt her purpose of placing the $1,000
water bonds. The bonds were placed
/ with Mr.. Jno. F. Meagher at 6 per cent,
due July LIST, 1890.
The vacation of streets was referred to
the committee on streets and alleys and
the city engineer, with instructions to
report at the regular meeting in January.
The seemingly unnecessary delay in
completing the well for the new water
system was discussed at length and some
very sharp remarks were INDUCED in.
1t finally resulted in alderman Boegen
resignlng his position as superintendent,
and new man will be engaged to push
the job to completion.
A corporation calling itself the "Man-
kato Electric Light Co." gave notice
that an application would be made at
the next regular meeting of the council
for franchise to furnish electricity for
illuminating purposes, etc. 1t has been
well known that Mr.. +. l.. Walters has
had such project in view for a year
or two, and only because of the fact
that he is member of the council, APP
plication for franchise would have
been made some time ago. This move
ment seems to be a preconcerted plan
to forestall his action in this matter.
Who the gentlemen are that constitute
this mythical organization we do not
know, neither do we care. But in all
justice to Mr.. Waters he should have
the first privilege of securing a charter,
everything else being equal, provided,
always, that the council have any inten-
ton of granting anything in this partic-
ular. 1t is no secret to most of our busi-
ness men that Mr.. Waters has spent
considerable time and money in looking
into the matter of affording Mankato
electric light, and it is not fair that other
parties should come in and confscate
this thunder simply because his position
with the city Is such as has incapacitated
him from taking advantage of his desires
at an earlier date.
If Mr.. Waters Ii permitted to put in
this light it will not be at the mercy of
any of the several existing electric ma
chine manufacturers, who have formed
a pool to allow no competition to enter
the same city. Besides, we do not un-
derstand that Mr.. Waters will ask for
exclusive in the franchise, and
will seek no favors of the city except the
right to string wires and erect the nee
essary poles by granting him the fran
chise.
The right to put in its own light will
be reserved to the city, not only for its
use in lighting streets, but also for fur
nishing same to private parties if it 80
desires. What fairer proposition could
be submitted? In the strict sense of the
term it is no franchise that Mr.. Waters
asks. He simply wants the right, as we
said before, to string wires and erect
poles, under direction Of the council. No |
possible objection can be made to this,
and we do not believe there will be.

The appeal of the Ladies Relief Socie-
ty was not in vain. Indeed the provi-
sions that poured i'm the day before
Christmas proved the generosity of our
citizens and their thoughtfulness of the
poor. Several dollars in money were
also donated and it was used to good
purpose. A bountiful supply of chicken,
turkey, bread, pie, cake and other
edibles were received and thirty families
were thus made happy with Christmas
dinners.

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For a
great many years Doctors pronounced il
u local disease, and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment pronounced it
incurable. Science has proven Catarrh
to be constitutional disease, and there
fore requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
f. j. Cheney, 4 Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure now on the
market. 1t is taken internally in doses
from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. 1t acts
directly upon the blood and mucus sur
