The new elevator in the Saulpaugh
works like a charm. 1t is perfectly
safe. as it is so constructed that no &C
cident can possibly befall it. Each time
it goes from the basement to the fourth
floor 65 gallons of water are used. A
freigh. car can he attached to carry up

The CITY engineer protests against
the practice of people using the water
works TO sprinkle the streets, where the
sprinkers run. He says that it not only
makes the streets muddy and sloppy,
but often scares horses when children
use the hose. People have no right to
use the city water for that purpose.

broke ground for a large addition in the
rear of the south halfof their double
store. 1t is to be 80x22 feet, of brick,
and is to be used for wagon and lumber
storage. The present season it will be
built only one story high, but the foun-
dation will be made strong enough to
hold three stories, the other two to be
added when required. 1t will afford
much needed room and relieve other
parts of the building. The increased
business of the firm makes more room
needed constantly.

The directors of the fair association

ing the purses and general expenses OF
the fair, not to mention the premiums.
The latter amounted to 1888. Unless
the association receives the $2lS OF
state money which it has received for
several years past, it will be unable to
pay cent of the premiums. Even in
case the state money is received, the
prem ums will be settled at only about
40 cents on the dollar. The directors
are a good deal discouraged, and there
is much talk of disorganizing. Presi-
dent Fall stated the other day that it
would be useless hereafter to depend
upon the farmers aiding the association,
and that unless the city Stepped in and
extended helping hand it was doubt
full whether another fair could be held.
Secretary Davies states that his work on
the fair has caused him to be about 800
out of pocket and that hereafter he can
have little or nothing to do with the
The directors generally
have little time to devote 10 the matter.

Safety and Comfort.

The fearful passenger, who travels late,
Shakes at the moOnshine shadow Of a rush.
Whose causeway parts the vale with shady
rows,
Whose seats the weary traveller repose.
The first two lines evidently refer to
the belated travsler in oIden time, who,
whether in coach or afoot, found dread
of highwaymen descend upon him
with the falling shades of evening. The
passenger who travels by the elegant
trains of ''The Burlington" shakes not
at moonshine shadows, but gazes with
delight at the beauty of the landscape,
and then sleeps happily and safely in
the luxurious Pullmans run on this line.
The second couplet is faithful picture
of "The Burlington's" smooth and lev
ell track, parting the vale ofthe great
river of the west, and of the sumptuous
surroundings that WOO to soft repose.

RECEPTION.

Gov. Merriam received his many
friends IN this city Friday evening in the
magnificent parlors of the new Saul
paugh House. Throughout the evening
little groups dropped in upon him and
paid their respects, and complied with
his request to remain and chat awhile.
The reception was entirely informal in
character, and was very pleasant for all.
| A large number of ladies were among
the callers. All stopped to admire the
hotel, it being the first time that many
had been inside of the structure.
Germania band marched into the rO'
tunda at about eight O'Clock and sere-
naded the governor, playing one piece.
Later in the evening the Uniformed
Rank, X. of p, marched into the hotel
in body in full uniform, and the mem
hers were introduced to his excellency,
Gov. Merriam. The evening passed
very pleasantly.
The governor left Saturday morning
early for st. Paul. While in the
city, he remarked upon the excelle nee

that it would be a benefit to Mankato in
great many ways.

THE BOND QUESTION.

According to the resolution introduced
in the city council on Monday evening
the voters of Mankato will decide on the
oath inst, whether or not they will vote
FORTY thousand dollars in bonds to ex,
tend the water mains. There are 9
large number, and we might say a ma.
jority of the people, who do not fully
understand this question. Under the
present system, each lot is taxed five
cents per foot yearly for the interest on
and maintenance of mains. Ii has been
figured out that this tax will, in twenty
years, pay the interest on bonds and
also the principal, even though there be-
not single consumer of water. But the
fact is the consumption of water will
bring a good round revenue to the city
much in excess of the cost of operating
expenses. Another point which Is not
generally understood is that no tax will
be levied upon those who do not have
the privilege of city water. For instance,
people living in West Mankato will not
be taxed single cent on the extension
of water mains laid in other parts Of the
city. AS before remarked, the five cents
per foot pays for everything, and with
the large demand for water which is
sure to follow the laying Of the mains
the taxes Of those who do not have the
privilege of city water will be reduced
instead of increased. 1t would seem
that there could be no possible question
about the success of carrying the bonds,
and will be none if the people rightly
understand the situation. 1t is to the
advantage of every tax payer to vote af-
firmatively on the question, as it reduces
the taxation of the individuals who do
not get water, while those who do can
afford and are willing to pay the small
addition demanded for the benefits ac-
cruing.

That Little Tickling.

You have been cautioned many times to
do something to getrid Of that little tickling
in your throat, which makes you cough once
in n while and keeps you constantly clear
ing your throat Your reply. %, that's
nothing 1T will get well OF ITSELF etc..
will not cure it. nor viii the disease stand
still; it will grow worse or better. This
trouble arises from catarrh. and. as ca
tarrh is a constitutional disease. the ordin-
ary cough medicines all fail to hit the spot.
Whatyou need is a constitutional remedy
like Hoods Sarsaparilla- Many people who
have taken this medicine for scrofula. dys-
pepsia. loss Of appetite, and other troubles.
have been surprised that it should cure
this troublesome cough. But to know the
actual cause of the cough is to solve the
mystery.
Probably nearly all cases Of consumption
could be traced back to the neglect of some
such slight affections as this. The best
authority on consumption. says that this
disease can be controlled in its early stages,
and the effect of Hoods Sarsaparilla in
purifying the blood, building up the general
health, and expelllng the scrofula taint
which is the cause OF eatarrh and consump-
ton. has restored to perfect health many
persons on whom this dreadful disease
seemed to have q firm hold.
