several city cases eff considerable i'm
portance come on at the May term of

We are informed that the farm

glass front put in his building at the

1t is probable that Mayor Will
lard's time will be too fully occupied
between this and the first meeting of
the new council to arrange for the ap-
pointment of all committees and the
police force. 1t is therefore likely
that many of the anxious applicants
for place will have to possess their
souls in patience.
The contract for carrying the
mail from Mankato to Lortz, twice
a week, has been let to J. L. Yeder
at $96. Yeder is an old-time star
route contractor, and he will in all
probability sublet the contract to the
present carrier who carries the mail
from Mankato to Minnesota Lake and
intermediate points.
Last evenings Revieao contained a
sensational piece, the purport of which
was that through the negligence or
carelessness of the judges of election
in the First and Fifth wards there
was no election of aldermen in those
wards. Mayor Pau states that there
can be no doubt as to the fact that
Aids. Schlingerman and Brett were
elected in those wards, and that no
question of the legality can be raised.
The will of the people cannot be
thwarted by the negligence of the
judges in making returns, especially
where there were no opposition
candidates running, as in these wards.
What was the object of the ReUieac in
to cast doubt upon the re-
suit of the election of gentlemen who
had no opposition is hard to tell, but
seems to be in keeping with the treat
ment by the editor of that paper, of
the citizens movement throughout.
