a MIDNIGHT BURGLARY.


The residence of Deputy County Audit
or John Lilly was entered last night
by burglar, who made off with the en-
tire contents of Mr.. Lilly's pants pock-
cts. An entrance was effected by rails
ing the front window, which was not
locked. and the burglar then made his
way to the bedroom occupied by the
deputy, after having first taken the pre-
caution to pull down the shades to the
windows. He took the pants to the
next room and took from them ST. in
cash, a bunch of keys and "a jack-knife.
Nothing else was disturbed. Mr.. Lllv
believes that the robber is farm hand
or thresher, as grains of barley were
found where his boots tracked across
the carpet. The deputy was awaked at
about one o'clock, but investigation
showed that the family cat was eating a
mouse and may have made the noise, or
at least Mr.. Lilly thought so at the time.
The other members of the family heard
a noise but thought nothing of it. One
Of the keys taken was one lett oy Treas
urer Llovd, who spent the night and to-
day at his farm, and opens the inner
door of the vault in his Office. 1t was
necessary to have Capt. Andrews take
the door of by the hinges in order to
get to the books, but the lock is still
turned and the door is useless. The
vault contained only about $26. The
outside combination makes the vault
safe for the few days before the office
will be moved to the new building. Mr.
Lilly says that he doesn't mind the loss
of bis money so much, but thinks tha
the burglar should have shown consider
alton enough to have left the keys
There is no trace to the miscreant.

UNFAIR TO BLUE EARTH CO.

Saturdays papers contained the re-.
port of Commissioner of Statistics Stock.
enstrom on the amount of wheat. corn
and oats raised in Minnesota this wear,
His information was obtained from the
county auditor, and was supposed to be
as nearly correct as possible. Blue
Earth county is credited with the follow.
ing figures:
Wheat-66, 900 acres, |, lis, 800 bushels,
average 1880 to the acre
Corn-27 900 acres, l,0s0,000 bushels,
average 40 to the acre.
Oats-27 900 acres. 1880 bushels, av-
erage 10 TO the acre.
II Is evident to anyone who is at all
posted that the wheat average is alto
gether out of the way. 1t is very unfor-
tunate that such return was made from
this county, as il is well known that one
of the heaviest crops in the state was
raised in Blue Earth county. The re-
ports from other counties range to 20
bushels to the acre. The surrounding
counties make. the following returns:
Watonwan, %; Nicoliet, 20; Faribault,
20; Waseca, 20; Freedom, 20; Martin,
20; Rice, Is; Brown, II. 1t is well
known that the wheat crop in this coun-
ty equalled that in Watonwan, and ex-
ceeded that in all the other counties
named. Besides this, there is direct
proof that the wheat crop of the county
equals 264 bushels to the acre. Mr..
James Shoemaker canvassed the county
thoroughly before the grain was cut and
since then has secured reports of the
threshing in every part OF the county.
He has l04 reports, and they represent
the average crop. These reports, allow
ing for machine measure, show that the
average for the county was 264 bushels.
Then again, T.. y. Eubbard q Co., who
have facilities for being eXcellently post
ed on the wheat crop, say that the esti-
mate of 1880 bushels to the acre is ri
diculous. Their estimate is about "a
bushels. The returns sent to The COM
missioner Of statistics are but little above
the average crop for the past few wears,
from which it was probably taken with
out regard to the evidence OF all who are
posted. We are also inclined to believe
that the returns for corn and oats are
too small. Blue Earth county claims
the largest crop of wheat she ever rails
ed, and should be given credit for it.

A MAD DOG SCARE.

This city has been visited by what is
believed to be real mad dog. II is the
one that was mentioned Yesterday as
biting I. G. McDermott's little child.
The dog is known to have bitten large
number of other dogs and at least two
cows. 1t was found this morning fight
ing with John Pages dogs and is thought
to have bitten them all. it then took
its way toward the slough, where it bit
cows belonging to ii. X. Lee and Chas.
Lisner. 1t has bitten several other
dogs, but how many is not known. All
of the animals known to have been bit
ten will be shut up to await develop
ments. 1t would not be bad idea to
have all the dogs in the city shut up by
the owners for week or two, as it is
likely that some of them may be taken
with rabies. The time that hydrophi-
bia develops is of different lengths and
may be hours, weeks or months.
Seven or eight other COWS in the herd
are reported by the herder to have been
bitten. The dog came from somewhere
In the country.
The entire police force has been on
chase after the original mad dog ever
since the health officer directed day be-
fore Yesterday that it be captured. 1t
was seen in several places, and early
this morning Officer Renstrom sighted
it at the slough. He procured shot
gun and fired at it, but only succeeded
in lodging few shot in it. About nine
O'Clock this morning Officers Robei and
Holman, hunting for it, revolver in
hand, found 1t not far from the slough,
and Officer Robel opened hre. At the
first shot the dog jumped up and sprang
with great rapidity at the officers. wkG
discharged four more barrels at it before
it was brought down. The dog was at
the muzzIe Of the weapon when the
last shot was fired. 1t was large black
dog, nearly the size of Newfoundland,
with shaggy hair and dirty appearance
and had several white spots upon 1t,
one at the tip of the tail and one on the
breast. Its head and neck were large
and resembled somewhat that of bull
dog. Its lips and tongue were greatly
swollen and its general appearance was

JOINED FOR LIFE.

Mr.. Grove +. Johnson and Miss Clyde
VraniZan were united in marriage at
seven o'clock Sunday evening at the resi-
dence of the brides parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. p. l., Vranizan. Rev. John Bar
bour performed the ceremony, which
WAS witnessed by less than half a dozen
friends outside of the immediate family.
Mr.. and Mrs. johnson left Monday after
noon for st. Paul, and will extend their
trip to Chicago, returning in about two
weeks. They will then take up their
residence with Mrs. Johnson's parents,
III Hanover street where they will be at
home after Oct. 18th.
Mr.. Johnson is train dispatcher at
the Omaha depot, and during his resi-
dence in the city of four or five wears
has made numerous friends. He is a
young man who is bound to rise. His
BRIDE is the daughter OF one of our prom
inent and well-known citizens, and is a

ney through life.

II will be seen that the First ward
gives a majority of 9against the bonds,
while the Fourth ward gives the bonds
majority of III. There was very little
work done on either side, and the small
vote helped to carry the bonds. Those
voting against the bonds had no strong
feeling in the matter.
The city recorder is writing a large
number of letters to different banking
firms, telling them the result of the cleo
ton and giving them until Nov. LIST to
hand in their bids. While this is being
done, the city, if it concludes to put in
the mains by the DAVIS work, can order
the pipe and have everything in readi-
ness to Law mile or two OF mains this
fall where they are most needed. The,
council will probably be flooded with
petitions from all parts OF the CITY ask
ing for the extension of the mains, and
representing places where they should
be laid. Among those parts OF the city
which should be first supplied are State
and Center streets. Byron street, and
Front street to the slough. The mains
should be extended along Fifth street to
the Catholic school or further, and along
n. Sixth and \. Seventh streets. Many
other places could also easily claim an
extension this fall Great care must be
exercised in making the selections.
In selling the bonds, all bankers
should he given chance to bid, and no
bids should be opened until the time
specified in the notices. In putting
down the mains, only the best and most
thorough work should be done, as the
people do not want the money used up
in repairing and relaying leaking mains.
