OUR CREDIT IS GOOD.

The school board held another meet
ingThursday night, and accepted the bid
of WilsonI& Cooley, of Hartford, Conn.,,
for the purchase of the $4,000 of five
per cent. school bonds recently voted.
The bid was $30,342, which affords a
premium of LA per cent. The COM
pany is to receive the bonds on or be-
fore Sept. 18th, and is to pay the inter
est that accommodates until the money
is turned over, which will be done as
soon as it is satisfied that the procedure
IN the issuing of the bonds has been
legal in every respect, of which there
can be no doubt. Two other bids were
opened, as follows: n. ]. Hayes & Son,
of Cleveland, Ohio, par, less the COM
mission; RSrson, Leach & Co., of Chica-
60, $3O,O37. The agent of the latter
company was present. The premium
which is received by Wilson & Cooley &
bid is very good one, and shows that
the credit of the district, which is the
City of Mankato, is most excellent. The
board is to be congratulated on securing
so favorable market for the bonds
which will allow several hundred dol
lars more that can be expended upon
the building, than could have reasonab.

COUNCIL MEETING.

A special meeting of the council was
held Saturday night and the contract
with John Bohan for completing the
grading of N Broad street, for $799, was
confirmed.
1t was voted to stop the overflow of the
water from the sand well, as it ls'a NUS
ance.
The petition asking for a gutter in
front of block IA and Willard & Barney
Exchange was referred to the Board of
Public Works.
A petition was received from the own
ers of the property abutting on Popular
street asking that the city give to ]. A.
and M. 6. Willard, the owners of the
property on the South side, fourteen
feet of the street, and to J. G.. Mobiles
and VIM. Thomas, and the Mankato
Manufacturing Co., owners of the pro-
perry on the north side of the street,
six feet of the street, the entire distance
of the block on both sides, in exchange
for small triangular piece of the street
at the Front street junction, extending
twenty-one feet into the street. This
will lessen the width of the street from
so to go feet, except with the junction
with Front street. The city engineer
states that the city should refuse to trade
as the city would be receiving few
hundred square feet, while it would give
several Thousands very unequal trade.
The matter was referred to the Board
of Public works.

GONE TO THEIR REST.
MRS. FRANK HENLEIN.

Mrs. Frank Henlein died at her home
on N. Front street very suddenly Satur-
day afternoon at shortly before five
o'clock. She had not been feeling well
for week or two past, complaining of
soreness In her breast. She seemed to
be no worse than usual Saturday fore
noon, but at about three O'Clock she
was taken with sort of CONFUSION or
fit, which returned an hour and half
later, causing death. Her death is as
cribed to Bright's disease.
Mrs. Henlein was born in Austria and
was ffty-three years Of age. She came
to Mankato from her native country In
1858, and on Feb. 18th of that year she
was married to Mr.. Henleln. She leav-
es husband and two adopted children,
and a brother, who lives nine miles
south of Sleepy Eve, to mourn her loss.
She was an excellent lady, loved by all
who knew her, and honored for her
many kindly qualities by large circle
of friends and acquaintance. The af-
fiicted family has the sympathy of all
these in their loss.
The funeral occurred from the Ger.
man Catholic church at nine O'Clock
Tuesday forenoon.
W. F. FISCHER.
Chief Fowler received telegram Sat-
urdaY afternoon announcing the death
of his son-in-law, Mr.W :. F. Fischer, at
his home at North Cambridge, Mass.
The deceased resided in this city for
two years or more, holding the position
of book-keeper of the Creamery Pack
age Co, He was an exemplary young
man In every respect, and during his
short stay in Mankato formed many
warm friendships. He afterward enter
ed the employ of an electrical house at
Cambridgeport. Mass, where he was
engaged at the time of his death. He
was highly esteemed tor his integrity
and ability. Last June he was united in
marriage with Miss Maud Fowler, and
their start in life was unusually propiti-
GUS. They occupied an elegant home
and nothing was wanting to COM
plete the happiness of the young
couple. About month ago Mr.. Fischer
was stricken with typhoid fever, and
this turned into pneumonia last week,
resulting as stated. Mrs. Fowler is at
her daughters home, which will be
some small comfort to the stricken
wife, now made widow by the cruel
and premature hand of death. Her
many Mankato friends unite in extend
ing her their sincerest sympathy. The
case is an unusually SAD one, and can.
not but draw out the kindest feelings
from all who are acquainted with the
circumstances.
