Moving Day.

Now is the soulful time when the
hapless man covers his Sunday
suit with SCOT and sacrifices his religion
in endeavor to put up stove pipe that
will not fit. These are moving times, in
deed, and we may say with the poet,
that "The melancholy days have come,
the saddest of the year" Blu; in NOV
ing from one place to anothe,, YOU will
always escape discomfort by taking the
Saint Paul & Duluth Railroad, which is
the best and shortest route to and from
St. Paul, Minneapolis, Duluth, West
Superior, and other points, making
close connections beyond. For informa-
ton apply to A. B. Plough, General
Passenger Agent, st. Paul, Mimi, or to
ticket agents.

&ssor McClCary has consented TO give
some personal "reminiscences OF the
poet. The evening will be one of pleas
ure and profit.
In the report of the council meeting
last evening Mr.. W. h. Davis was made
TO say that 1.-The city constable already
turns the most of the fees into the city
treasury, and that those he keeps were
less last wear than the wear before. J"
What he really did say WAS that the con-
stable turns all city and county fees into
the cIty treasury and that these fees
were less this last wear than the year be-
fore. The constable does not keep any
of the fees.
The divorce mill turned out case
yesterday, granting absolute separation
to Wilhelm Schneider from his wife,
Margaretta Schneider. and giving him
the custody of the children. This couple
were married July 25th, 1873, and lived
together with reasonable amenitv until
1882, when Mrs. Schneider deserted her
husband and has not since returned.
Three children, the oldest being twelve
wears, were the result of the union. The
plaintiff is 36 and the defendant - years
of age.
Col. Mead, on behalf of Wilkln Post,
last evening invited Co. r, through
Lieut.. Comstock, to participate in the
observance of Memorial day, May 30th,
and the parade which is to take place
then. A general invitation is extended
to all organizations in the city, uniform
ed or ununiformed. to participate in the
exercises, which will probably occur at
the opera house. A meeting 10 MAKE
preliminary arrangements will be held
to morrow night and il is expected that
something little out of the ordinary
Will be prepared.
The contractor now estimates that
the city well flows 100000 gallons a day.
The water has recently become more
ilpregnated with lime and is even bet
ter water than comes from any of the
other wells. During the last day or two
fresh assures have been struck constant
". This afternoon a depth of $50 feet
was reached. The city should continue
the well down another hundred or two
feet, as the indications are that the flow
will be out of all proportion 10 the
depth. The water that now flows out of
the gutter into the river, including the
water of both Washington street wells,
Is enough to supply the wants of a much
larger city than Mankato.

'Woman! he fair. we must adore thee;
Smile, and a world Is weak before thee


But how can a woman smile when she
is suffering untold misery from COM
plants from which we men are exempt?
The answer is easy. DIR. Pierce's Favor
lite Prescription is an infallibie remedy
in all cases of "female weakness" morn
ing sickness, disorders of the stomach,
nervous prostration, and similar mala-
dies. As powerful inyigorating tonic
it imparts strength to the whole system,
and to the womb and its appendages in
particular. As soothing and strength
ening nervine it subdues nervous excita-
bility, irratability, exhaustion, prostra-
ton, hysteria, spasms, and other dis
tresslng, nervous symptoms commonly
attendant upon functional and organic
disease of the womb. 1t induces re-

solicit the honor of admission. The oc-
