A FEW FIGURES.

A vast quantity of ice is daily beinl
stored in the various ice houses of the
city. No less than $50 tons per day are
being laid up for the summer supply
This figure has been averaged for the
past ten days. The ice industry gives
employment to a large number of mel
and teams at this season Of the year, az
many as IS teams and 126 men being en-,
gagged at the work. The business has
steadily grown, and more ice by far will
be put up this year than ever before. II
Duluth brags that she is putting up 100
tons daily Mankato can certainly be ex-
cused for pointing with pride at her fig
ures.
To the person who has not counted
the number of trains that daily unload
their passengers in this city it may be
interesting to know that it istwenty-two
passenger trains, while several freights
carry passengers, making in all about
twenty-five. Divided as they are among
four depots they do not attract that at
tention which they would were all to ar
rive at union depot.
The above figures may be interesting
to some to show that this city is not such
an unimportant "burg" as too many of
her citizens seem to think. 1t is such
figures as these, picked up casually here
and there, that goto show what a city
really is.

AUNT SUES LETTER,

DEAR GIRLS - Having a "piece to
speak" to you | take this method of
doing SO. Early last fall while attend
ing church one bright Sabbath day in
Mankato, / witnessed an extremely rude
act, committed by well-dressed, bright
eyed, pink-cheeked young girl, anG by
the way regular attendant of another
church. Settling comfortably in the
pew she listonod for about five minutes
to the sermon, which was very fine
discourse and preached in plain, simple
language that any one could understand,
then she deliberately opened her S. S.
book and read increasingly until the
close of the services; | really think she
did not think how extremely rude her
behavior was. She virtually said to the
speaker, by her conduct: you can not
say anything to interest me, so | will
read" She was also guest at that
church and would greatly Il think have
resented it, if told she did not know
how to act in guests place, and also
commented freely had any one treated
her minister with so mucn contempt.
Now if any fair friend sees this she may
say "Oh Aunt Sue don't know how to
read guess, and has not an idea above
her EMITTING" But that will be great
mistake, for ever since about eight Y ears
of age / have been passlonatly fond of
reading, and "book worm" was the
name given me when most children
were thinking of dolls and marbles. /
remember hearing an old lady say to my
mother, when / was about nine years
old, ."Betsey Jane you must not let
that little pale creeter read so much, she
will read herself crazy" ] was greatly
troubled over the implied insanity to
come to me if kept on reading, and
held very many consultations with my
self over the matter, as could not think
of giving up reading, yet dreaded that
woeful fate the old lady spoke of, but
finally compromised by concluding TO
read until felt myself going crazy, then
would stop, and have continued to read
with what results others can tell better
| than l. One more item, sand my "piece"
will be closed. Walking on Front street
one day, ! heard noise behind me
| like unto the tramp of armed men.
Being rather timid nervous old lady |
hastily stepped in a store until the
crowd passed and / looked to see what
procession was passing, and was aston
ished to see six young girls walking by
| two's. three of whom were chewing gum
and three eating apples and those six
| mouths, (I had once called so pretty
| were moving with an energy and veloci-
ty worthy of better cause" This was
| the noise combined with their stately
steppings' had heard. Eat apples at
home and let gum alone and walk light
lily. Your faithful
AUNT SUE.

BANDS OF WEDL0OK DISSOLVED.
Contest Over the HOrse-thief Bounty
Other District Court Matters.

Jacob Hanson and his wife, Marie,
were married at st. James, in January,
1881, but their domestic affairs did not
thrive as Jacob wished, 30 he made up
his mind to leave his better half which
he accordingly did in June, 1882. Some
time ago Mrs. Hanson, who now resides
in this city, brought suit for divorce on
the ground of desertion. No answer
was made to the complaint and the
Judge has accordingly granted the COW
eted order for separation and has given
the custody of the only child, a six-year
girl named Olga, to the mother.
In the case of Andrew Moffat VS.. j. A.
Lattimer ct al, judgment has been sat
isfied.
The State allows $500 for the capture
of horse thief. When Christian Miller
disappeared with August Bakers horse
last summer the case was worked up by
several parties-at least several parties
claim to have ferreted out the criminal.
Sheriff Piper, Chief of Police Fowler
Officer Schultz, ex-0ficer Blake, and
several others each had finger in the
pie and now each wants part if not all
of the boanty. The case has been taken
before Judge Severance and will come
up for hearing next Thursday. Mess.
Washburn and Cray will represent the
Sheriff, and Freeman & Pau the Chief
of Police, while one or more other con-
testsnts will probably be represented.
1t will be an interesting contest and
some delicate questions of authority
may arise.
The New Ulm Court House contest
will be given hearing at New Ulm this
afternoon. The county commissioners
claim to have power to issue bonds for
the erection of new court house with
out vote of the people. The inhabi-
tants of the western part of the county
are satisfied with the old ..rickety build
ing now used for the purpose and are
