Grain is said to be coming up very

H. P. Christensen reports the sale
of lots l, 2, 3, 4, in block 1877, West Man.

Mankato, to Anton Weber, $50.
Mr.. John Schweitzer informs US that
there is no danger of the prices of meat
advancing on account of the passage of
the meat inspection law. He says that
it is the agents of the outside packing
establishments that are creating such an
impression. He says that there can be
no possibility of shortage in the supply
of cattle.
1t ia expected that the disappoint-
ments of the First ward and West Man,
kato over the appointment Of the board
of public works will be smoothed over
by the board appointing John Mahowald
of the First ward superintendent, and
by Andrew Hanna being promised the
position of Mr.. Davies ON the board one
year hence. This may be satisfactory
and it may not.
DIR. VIM. Standish, veterinary sur
geon, is a candidate for appointment to
the position of meat inspector in this
CITY. Many of the butchers have eX-
pressed themselves as favorable to his
appolntment. The Board of Health,
upon whom the selection devolves,
would make no mistake in choosing
him. His experience with cattle would
enable him to tell at once whether they
are sound or not, and consumers could
feel certain OF the kind of meat they are
eating. That is the kind of inspector
the people want.
Representative Perrin, Davis anC
Iassow take occasion to nail the absurd
Iy ridiculous lie in the last RerieaU charg
ing the editor of the FREE PRESS will
corrupting three of the Blue Earth rep
resentatives In their votes for Sabin TO
senator. Wise's worms still keep gnaw
, ing at his yitals, and there seems to b.
no signs of relief. If the editor of thu
Review possessed one 1.-THE the integrit,
and manhood of the members OF the leg
islature referred to he would appear de
cidedly more respectable before the pub
lie.
, The ST. Peter Journal tells us al
