The Easter 1aIr advertised for Apri
18th and 9Th, by the ladies of st. Johns
Parish, has been postponed to accommo
date the ENTERTAINMENT given by the La
dies Relief Society. Notice of date o.
fair will be given hereafter.
The Mother Goose" burlesque
which is under rehearsal, will be given
in the Opera House Wednesday even
ing, April 4th. AS the proceeds of this
entertainment are for the benefit of the
Ladies' Relief Society, our people should
show their sympathy for the poor by at
tending literally. Tickets will soon be
placed on sale, and the admission has
been placed at % and IS cents.
Window Reporter:-We would like
TO ask of the MankatO Rerlelc, why if flax
raising does not pay, that next TO dairy
ing il has been the most profitable crop
of the southwest? How is it that farm
ers in Cottonwood county have paid for
their land out of the first crop of fax?
This is a question that Mr.. Wise may
be expected to answer in Yankee fash
ion-by asking question irrelevant to
the subject.
1t is more than probable that Man
kato will be accorded the credit of fur
nishing the Democrats with a candidate
for Governor in the person of Hon. Jno.
F. Meagher. If so the Democrats will
have gained one great point over 1856
that of having respectable candidate
and one whose canvass will not be made
on the wide open" policy. Of course
Mr.. Meagher cannot be elected, but he
will at least lend responsibility to the
ticket.

The travelling mems department of
the Minneapolis Tribune contains the
following to-day:
The new house at Mankato is an as
sured fact. Over 81 600 worth OF sand
is on the ground, and it takes sand to
build a hotel, you know. Saulpaugh, the
supposed builder, has stone enough IN
his quarries to build it, and many more,
and he no doubt has a bank account
equal to the $4,000 that Mankato people
are so anxious to have some one else
furnish against 5000 that they will give
provided the fellow can screw himself
up to believe a 5000 or 5000 lot is
worth 600 to him. When Mankato
gets four walls with a roof on, then, and
not till then, will the travelling public
believe she will have new hotel.
MIR. f. &. Brandenburg, who has

doubt about it in our minds, and there
certainly ought to be enough public
spirit among our business men to "chip
in" and buy a setof the flags if the coun-
Gil is too poor to furnish the funds. 1t

dollars, as Mr.. Brandenburg offers to

MURDER Oh SUIOIDE2
It is Almost Certain that L. E. Andrews
Died from the Effects of Poison.
The Coroner's Inquest Still In Pro-
gress, but Few New Develop
ments.

The veil of mystery that has surround
ed the death of Louis E. Andrews has
not yet been penetrated. The coroner's
jury has been in session ever since yes
terday morning and the probability is
that the end will hardly be reached to-
day. The testimony of the physicians
is unanimous that poison was the agency
that sent Andrews to meet his Maker
ard this evidence is confirmed by the
finding of poison in the house and the
fact that the boarder, Dawson, pur-
chased an ounce of arsenic at Emerson's
drug store the day before Andrews was
taken sick so suddenly. The only new
light thus far thrown on the scene is the
testimony of the mother of Mrs. An
drews who says that her son.in-law has
frequently threatened to kill himself
and would but for his daughter.
The burden of the proof leans toward
q cold-blooded murder and, as Dawson
says. things look pretty black. If IT
should turn out that the man was killed
! in order to remove the only obstacle TO
