We have information to the effect
that J. M. Egan, general manager of the
Kansas City railroad and former Supt.
of the Southern Minnesota division OF
the G. NJ. & st. P, contemplates con-
structing branch of the K. G. through
Mankato. We hope this news will prove
true, and as it comes through reliable
channel, there is no occasion for dis
counting the information.
The. new front which has recently
been put in at 1. Longini's store is the
most attractive one in the city. The
deep entrance is a comparatively new
idea, and is being adopted in many OF
the new buildings being erected in the
large cities. 1t allows ample space for
displaying goods, and permits them to
be seen some distance. The display in
Mr.. Longini's windows is tastefully ar
ranged and is we'll worthy of inspection.
The double hallelujah wedding at
the Salvation Army Hall Saturday was
largely attended, many coming in from
the country to witness the interesting
ceremony. The happy couples who
were made one were M. r. Abbott and
Sarah Drennen and Fred E. Craver
and Bessie Ellington. Staff Capt. Druee
read the Army service, and Rev. F. L.
Patterson pronounced the first couple
one, and Rev. VIM. Copp, of Eagle Lake,
made the other couple man and wife.
The occasion was enjoyed by all, and
the two couples who have devoted
themselves to the cause of saving their
fellow beings, carried with them the
we'll wishes Of everyone present.
The White Brothers who sang at the
Opera House last evening have few
equals and no superiors in entertaining
an audience. Their voices harmonic
to perfection, and the selections they
render are calculated to and do bring
forth rounds of applause. Chaplain
McCabe has engaged the gentlemen to
assist him in his work for the coming
Six months, and as there is often as
much religion in good music as in good
preaching, the combination will prove
valuable in saving souls.
On the petition of Anna Mlkelson,
Judge Severance has granted writ of
habeas, corpus to produce Magdaline,
her thirteen months old daughter, and
has released the child from the posses
sion of Arndt and Mary Norman, who
In August adopted her upon the written
permission of the mother. Mrs. Mikel-
son claim that certain of the charitably
inclined ladies of the city obtained her
signature by fraud, threats and undue
influence. In her complaint she says
that the parties impressed upon her
that "she and her child must leave the
house Immediately and 60 out into the
street without cent of money, without
home, relatives and friends, without
hope of cent of aid from the county or
any charitable institution" and that
:the county commissioners would take
her child away from her any way with
out her consent, and by reason of being
exhausted in mind and body with re-
sisting the incessant and determined urg-
ings, persuasions, threats and intimida-
tons of the persons above mentioned,
the petitioner, not knowing what she
was doing, signed her name to the writ
ten consent" The adoption proceed
ings were set aside and revoked.
