COMPANY r. INSPECTED.

The annual inspection of Co. F. passed
off in a satisfactory manner Thursday.
Inspector-G General Schoeffer, Col. Bob
Letter and Lieut.. COL Mead, conducted
the inspection. The company present
ed thirty-eight men in line out of fifty
on the muster roll. 1t was first taken
to the open space in front of the G. &
N. w. depot, and there put through the
various company movements. These
were fairly well executed, the large
number of new men being taken into
consideration. After this the company
returned to the armory and the formal
inspection of the men and arms was
made. The guns were found to be IN fair
ly good condition and the appearance of
the men was usually good, though manv
belts lacked backing and many breast
plates needed polishing. The muster
roll was afterwards read and the COM
pany put through the manual of arms,
which was quite well executed, all things
considered. After the company had
been dismissed the company property
and books underwent inspection.
The inspector-general expressed him
self as highly pleased with the appear
ance of the men and predicted that they
would become the crack company of the
regiment by giving the proper attention
to drill and the care of their arms. Fur
ther than this, it will not be known what
kind of an inspection the boys passed
until the publication of the official re-
port. Col. Bobleter was also pleased
with the material of which the company
is composed. He thought that Capt.
Comstock would bring the company to
the front in the regiment, saying that
it had passed a better inspection than
some of the other companies. While
finding considerable that might other
wise be criticised, both he and the in
spector were inclined to take into con-
sideration the circumstances that have
acted to set the company back. Col.
Mead was much pleased with the in
spection. Capt. Comstock is quite
lubilant over the manner in which the
boys conducted themselves and is pre-
pared to put il some hard work for the
company. With little more drilling
the boys can easily take first rank in
| the regiment.

BOARD OF TRADE.

The Board of Trade held quite long
meeting Monday morning. An invitation
was received from the chamber of COM
MERGE of West Superior for the appoint
ment of delegates to waterways con.
vention to be held there Aug. 9th to
consider the improvement OF the harb-
ors and straits of the great lakes. The
invitation was accepted and this re6olu.
ton adopted unanimously:
RESOLVED, further, such delegates be and
they are hereby instructed to urge upon
said convention the great and para
mount importance of appropriation to
complete the new lock at Sault Ste.
Marie and the Improvement of Hay Lake
channel.
Messrs. J. C. Wise, ]. A. Willard and
B. Tuttle were chosen as delegates.
The proposition of Mr.. ID. Marvin, OF
Minneapolis, to establish q knitting fac
tory in the city was discussed. His
goods are handled by Pond Bros, who
pronounce them of excellent quality.
Mr.. Marvin wants to start in a small
way with number of knitting machines.
employing girls to run them, and turn
ing out gloves, mittens, etc. He wants
from 81 900 to 5000 invested in the
works by our citizens, upon which he
offers to guarantee return OF one per
cent. per month. No formal action was
taken in the matter, but those interested
are left to see what arrangements can
be made with Mr.. Marvin.
Our stone, lime and cement industries
were taken up and the market situation
discussed. B. F. Pay stated that the
freight rate on lime from Red Wing to
Pipestone is a cent less than from Man
Iof 10. fhn ma
points is three, four and five cents less.
The material is shipped through Wells
to avoid the law.
Gen. Pope discussed freight rates and
the action of the last legislature thereon.
He stated that while Mankato had the
advantage of other cities in furnishing
splendid stone and lime, vet the dis
elimination in rates operates against our
trade. In regard to the legislature he
made the assertion that a house COM
mittee had been bought up with money
by the railroads to. act in their interest
and Senate clerks had also been PAID 70
aid the railroads. He also stated that
Gilbert Gutterson, of this county, had
certain amendment to bill when en-
crossing 1T, but had refused.
One of the members blamed the board
for being too supine when complaints of
freight Determinations are made. Other
members upheld the board and stated
that 1t was always ready and willing to
aid anyone desiring help.
On motion of j. A. Willard it was vot-
ed to have seperate standing commit
tee on freight rates of five members.
The committee will be announced later.
A communication was received from
the fire department Fourth of July conf
mittee asking for committee to assist.
Messrs. III. P. Jensen, III. p. Christensen
and B F. Pay were appointed such COM
mittee.

Nv arrived Superintendent Bechdolt

now arrived. Superintendent Bechdolt
advanced and made few remarks in
which he expressed the JOY which all
feel at the going forth of q class of young
people. The class then arose and re-
ceived each one diploma from the
superintendent, who babe them God
speed, in the name of the board of edu-
cation and teachers.
Mr.. Benjamin f. Shepard responded
for the class. He recently broke his
wrist by fall from a bicycle and was
obliged to carry his arm in sling. He
spoke in an easy manner. He trusted
that the school would continue to ad-
vance as in the past. He thanked the
teachers for their faithful work. He
feelingly expressed their mingled JOY and
sorrow in leaving the school and extend
ed the scholars of the High school the
best wishes of the class, and finally bid
farewell to all whom he had especially
addressed.
The ushers brought and presented to
the members of the class numerous for
al tributes and remembrances which
had been brought for them by parents
or friends. Each was generously remem-
bered and carried away load ofbaskets
and boquets.

ner.
Benediction was pronounced by Rev.
Jno. Barbour, and the audience was dis
missed, the hour being only ten o'clock.
The graduates were engaged for some
time receiving the congratulations OF
friends.
The High school has had a very pros
porous year as far as its cramped condi-
ton will permit. The teachers are all
excellent and the instruction the very
best. But it is too evident that it can
not grow in its present locations and
much larger classes of graduates need
not be looked for until better and larger
Accommodations are furnished. The
growing need for a new High school
building is felt every day and the board
of education would be fully justified IN
any wise measure which it might take
toward furthering this project. When
once location is secured there will be
little trouble in voting the necessary
bonds.
The public schools do not close until
next Friday. Most of the teachers are
preparing to spend the vacation out Of
the city.

In an article in the June Forum Mr..
Adelbert Hamilton says that, unlike
capital invested in other businesses, in
surance capital gets an income from two
sources of constant investment: from
MORTGAGES and from insurance. As a
consequence in 1886, while the average
rate of interest was about 4.75 per cent.
and while railway capital stock earned
less than 8 per cent. dividends, insur-
ance capital earned more than ID per
cent. In 1887 the dividends upon 1t av-
eraged nearly IA per cent. Following
are few rates of dividends declared in
1887: Fire Association of Philadelphia,
40 per cent; Forest City, % per cent;
Franklin, % per cent; eleven compa-
MES 20 to "a cent; eighty-fve compa-
MES 10 to 20 per cent. each. Nor was
1887 an exceptional year.
