"A suggestion has been made to
the effect that telephone line from
Mankato to Lake Crystal, via. Rapi-
dan Station and Rapidan Mills would
be great convenience to the public,
and profitable to the company. 1t
seems as if the business men at the
Lake and the deniZens of Rapidan
could carry out the project if they de-
sire it.
1t has been suggested by prom
inent business man that the most &C
cessible location for the government
building in this city is the property
at the corner of Second and Jackson
streets, now occupied by the Jensen
& FireStOne shops, and other build
ings. The only structure which is of
any considerable value, or which
would be difficult of removal, is Mr..
Pass's building. The other buildings
are old and of little value. The sug-
gestion includes the property from
Jackson to B. d. Pays residence and
from Second TO the alley,

The curious were attracted around
the city hall this forenoon by loud
screams and cries that proceeded from
within the police headquarters. The
windows were closely curtained and
the doors locked. The scene was
caused by the insane fury of young
man named Chas. Olinger, who lives
in Mankato township. Excessive re-
ligious contemplation has unbalanced
his mind, and he appears to be a hope
less wreck. Officer Robel brought him
to the city and locked him up, by
leading him to believe that they going
| to church. He was so violent that

Judge Severance has granted di-
vorce to Mrs. Title LOOMS from her
husband, Chas. III. LOOMS. They
were married in August, 1883, in Ster-
ling, and have resided together nearly
ever since. Mrs. LOOMS complains
that her married life was made ex-
ceedingly unhappy by the bad conduct
of her husband, who treated her in a
cruel and inhuman manner. 1t is the
old story of liquor and quick temper
forming wicked amalgamation.
His temper would get the best of him
every three or four weeks, and he
would proceed to turn the quietude of
home into a yeritable Hades. The
plaintiff alleged that he pulled her
hair, called her names, kicked her,
abused her in the presence of stran-
gers, and injured her so that the scars
remained for years. The marks from
one encounter still remain, as a mute
witness of mans inhumanity to
woman. The plaintiff gave her age
as %, and the defendants as %. They
have no children. The defendant
made no defense.
