John Wass, residing at 1135 N. Sew
enth street, informs us that his family
of five and hired girl were not emu
merated at the recent census. He has
lived in the city for eleven years. He
says there are numerous other cases of
persons being missed in his ward.
There can be no doubt that if the census
were to be taken now, with the vacant
houses of last June nearly all filed, as
they now are, with the students who
spend nine months of the year in the
city, Mankato would easily show up a
population of 10000. That is what our
real population is, and don't forget to
mention it when asked.
The little son of Wendell Hodapp
died this morning of diphteria. He is

ternoon from the house, in North Man

Mrs. Weed, the mother of Mr.. N.
Weed, the druggist, died very suddenly
last evening. She seemed to be as we'll
as usual during the day and ate supper,
going up stairs afterwards. At seven
o'clock she was taken with pain, and
died within an hour. She was a most
excellent lady and leaves many friends
in this city and in Albert Lea, her re-
cent home. She was quite an old lady,
but was as active as many of a younger
age. The funeral will occur Saturday
afternoon.
