The council committee on printing
held meeting this forenoon, and deci-
ded to report in favor of granting the
city printing to the Democrat, and the
printing in German to the Post. The
Register secured the printing last year,
while the BeObdchter has had the German
printing ever since it started. The Reg
iSter was the next lowest bidder. A ques-
ton has arisen, however, that may de-
prive the Democrat of the contract. The
law requires that paper to receive the
printing must have been published one
year. The Democrat was recently called
the Journal, and this may be legal OBJ
lection to it.

gentleman who has enough confidence
in the future of the city to invest his
money here. Mankato is proud of her

The FREE Press to-day presents a
illustration which will give our readers a
very good idea of what the new Saul
paugh> Hotel will be as TO its exterior
and architectural design. 1t needs
but glance at the above to show that
the proposed building will be of very
palatial character and one which will be
of the greatest credit to Mankato. Indeed,
it will be an edifice which will compare
favorably with many in st. Paul and
Minneapolis, and it will be the finest
and most complete hotel TO be found IN
the Northwest outside of the cities men,
toned. As SIS well-known the hotel will
be located on the northwest corner of
Front and Main streets. The location is
a central one and III that neighborhOod
where in all probability will be located
the Union depot which the railroads en-
tering Mankato Will sooner or later be
to erect. 1t will be easily ac-
cesslble from all parts of the business
portion Of Front street and will fill up
gap ON that thoroughlare which has al
ways been unsightly.
THE BUILDING
will be built four stories high at first,
but it is the intention of Mr.. Saulpaugh
to add another story, and the tower
shown IN the picture on the Main street
side will not be built until that is done.
The walls of the building are to be of
brick and the exterior will have stone
trimmings of various colors which will

serve to make its appearance very
handsome. 1t will be seen from the cut
that the exterior of the building re.
sembles somewhat that of the West
Hotel, of Minneapolis, and the inside
arrangements and plan have been
fashioned after that celebrated hostel
cry. There will he a fronting of l26
feet on Front street and the main en-
trance will be in the center thereof,
twenty-one feet in width and opening
directly into the rotunda where the Of
fees will be located On either side of
the main entrance on the first floor will
be two large and elegant store rooms
which will he rented for the occupancy
of various business houses. The rotun-
da, in which the baggage, check room,
barber shop, wash room, -avatory, etc.,
will open, will be large and roomy, 42x46,
will extend up two stories and have a
glass roof, thus affording plenty of light.
The rotunda will have a tile floor and
contain galleries and stairways, all fin
ished in beautiful style of architecture.
The dining room will be located on the
second floor and will be two stories in
height. 1t will be in the southwest
corner of the building and will be 3Sx74,
with a music gallery, and fitted with
elegant mirrors.
The upper stories, which will be
reached by elevator from the rOtunda,
will be so arranged as to leave court IN
the center and giving light to all the
rooms in the building.
