present. The stores were generally
closed especially in the afternoon.

brate. while others took in the lakes.
The weather was fine.

ports of Officers.

1.-THE council meeting Monday evening
was presided over by Vice President
Hubbard, in the absence of Mayor
Willard. All of the aldermen were
present.
A petition was received asking for a
sidewalk along lots to 5, block 20,
Van Brunt's addition. Referred to
the Board of Public Works.
A petition was received asking that
sidewalk be laid along Fifth street
from Plumb to Lime, on both sides of
the street. The walk was ordered to
be constructed, under the supervision
of the Board of Public Works, in con-
formity with the proposed new ordi-
nance.
Applications for liquor licenses
were received from H. Zimmerman,
Jr., for the City Hotel, Thos. Saul
paugh and Louis Wolff. The date for
a hearing was set for Aug. Sd.
The following petition was receiy-
ed: eve, the undersigned, citizens
and tax payers of the city of Manka-
to, would respectfully represent to
you that on July Sth, 1890, the
city of Mankato by its agents, con-
tracted with Dennis Sullivan to grade
that portion of Fifth between Plumb
and Fulton streets, and to build a
stone culvert over said improved
street for the sum Of $l,793, all of
which was assessed to your petition
ers' property and others within said
limits. The stone work of said cul-
vert was sub-contracted by Dennis
| Sullivan for the sum of $500. That
grading Of said culyert is estimated
to cost more than 800 more, which
has wrongfully been assessed to us
and Others on said improved route
and which we have paid. We, there
fore, pray your honorable body to re-
fund all money that we have wrong
fully paid and charge the same up to
the city at large" This was signed
by those assessed,

harmless, and that it's passage would
do no harm.
On a motion to put it on its sec
ond reading, Aid. Saulpaugh opposed
the ordinance, holding that it would
keep people from Mankato and so
make the city stand still. He thought
that if a bankrupt salesman offered
goods cheaper than the merchants
the people should have the benefit.
If the merchants favored it he thought
that they should have petitioned for
it. The motion was carried.
The different sections were adopt
ed, Aids. Saulpaugh and Peterson vot-
ing no. The ordinance was then
finally passed.
The ordinance committee reported
favorably an ordinance relating to the
construction of sidewalks, and it was
given it's first reading.
The Board of Public Works was au-
thorized to build a shed back of the
City Hall for the housing of the city
tools. The lumber will come from
the fair ground.
A number of bills were allowed, in
Guiding an estimate of 5000 to John
Mccall. Owing to the fact that some
OF the electric lights did not burn
last month, 500 was deducted from
the bill.
The council adjourned.

NORTH MANKATO ITEMS.

North Mankato is forging to the
front with considerable rapidity, and
we take pleasure in noticing the
steady growth of this important adj
junct to our city. Although in Nicol-
let county we are so intimately con-
nected with it's interests that we
cheerfully note it's growth. There
are at present three brick yards work
ing their full capacity, two vegetable
gardens. John Koppen representing
the North Mankato garden, and with
his genial countenance and obliging
manner, is seen on our streets early
each morning with loads of vegetables
and at as low prices as any on the
market. Mr.. Wheeler is also on
hand as manager of the City garden.
Among the important residences
built in the last few years are Mr.. o..
E. Benefits, A. l.. Wheeler's, j.
Koppen's, Il. j. Sherk's, Walter
Crisp's, w. Hodapp's, G. Fosberg's,
eChas. Fosters, Geo. Phelps and i'm
provements too numerous to mention,
and the new grocery store which has
been in vogue for some time, at pres
ent kept by Mr.. L. Strickland, who Is
obliging and attentive to the wants OF
all who may favor him with their
patronage, and last but not least,
there are stone quarries operated by
Mr.. Coughlin and Mr.. Weimer, which
compare favorably with our quarries
in Mankato proper, if not on so large
a scale.
The town authorities are putting
the main avenue in splendid shape for
driving, and the school building put
up a year ago is one Of the finest dis
trict buildings in the state, and we
are safe in saying the finest and best
finished in the county of Nicollet.
The school closed last Friday a term
of eight months, two teachers being
required to take care of the youth and
maidens attending, Miss Corp and
Miss Dougherty, being Normalltes
from Mankato,, showing that North
Mankato appreciates our Normal stu
dents. We predict that in the near
future North Mankato will be a city
of no small Importance, as it is to-
day the second town in the county in
point of votes.
Mr.. Guenther, or rather Judge
Guenther as his title calls for, pre-

POINT PLEASANT ITEMS.

Lake Madison is now looking dU lUS
best, and the season at Point Pleas
ant, Mankatos Minnetonka, is just
opening in earnest. The Point pre-
sents handsomer appearance than
for many years, greener and fresher
tint being given to the vendure by
the frequent rains of the past two
weeks. The grounds about the hotel
and cottages are maintained in first
class order, and an air Of neatness
prevails everywhere. A dozen new
boats have been added to the fleet
this year, and new pier and boat
house constructed. 1t is a pleasant
spot for those desiring to spend few
days
Mrs. Barclay is entertaining her Sis
ter, Mrs. Stokes, and daughter, of
Grand Forks, n. D., and friend,
Miss Hunt, of Des Moines, Iowa.
They will remain during the summer.
Lieutenant Leon S. Rudiez, of the
regular army, is spending few weeks
very enjoyably at the Point. He is
detailed at Grand Forks, N. D., Uni
versity, and is also engaged in assist
ing to revise the U. S. tactics.
j. NJ. Barclay will arrive tomorrow
and will be accompanied by four Oma-
ha families, who will spend July at
the lake. Among these are Prof.
Turkey and family, formerly of this
city. His daughters and a young lady
friend will be included in his party.
Mr.. and Mrs. f. B. Clements and
baby have spent several days at the
lake.
Among those at the hotel over the
Fourth and Fifth, were r. E. Brown,
81. I. Parry, Will Meagher, Robt. Rose
and E. f. Soaring.
Mr.. and Mrs. G. n. George are
spending couple of weeks at the
lake, and are greatly enjoying their
rest
DR.. and Mrs. Andrews and DR.. and
Mrs. Steel formed picnic party on
Fair Point Saturday.
The cottages now occupied are those
Of f. L. Walters, Geo. E. Brett, III.
P. Christensen and J. G. Wise. Mr..
Christensen proposes that nothing
shall be wanting in the enjoyment of
life at the point and to that end has
transported his cow thither. By the
way, he walked out nearly to the lake
the other day.
T. L. Walters entertained r. D.
Hubbard yestesday at his cottage.
His beautiful steam yacht has been in
daily service lately, and his Mankato
friends who have visited the Point
have reason to thank him. Mrs. Wat
tiers has nicely upholstered the yacht,
which adds to the enjoyment of a
ride.
Fair Point has been underbushed
and cleared up, and person would be
surprised at it's beauty. Mr.. Chris
Jensen proposes to plat it and make a
first class summer resort of it, and
it will undoubtedly be very popular.
r. E. Browns sail boat is the hand
soonest on the lake. and will move
almost without the breath of the
winds.
John Van LEV and daughter, of
Van Vert, Ohio, are enjoying the
a fisherman has not deprecated from
former years.

ket picnic on Sibley Mound and had

ket picnic on Sibley Mound and had
an enjoyable time.
The day was celebrated in f1rst-class
style at St. Clair. One of the features
of the parade was procession of young
ladies on horseback, representing the
states, led by Columbia, all costumed
appropriately, and having attendant
pages. There was horse racing, foot
races, tub races, ball game, play, a
dance and fire works. The st. Clair
band furnished music. The grafton
was delivered by Prof. Hammond, and
was an excellent one.
At Lake Madison the denizens were
awakened at four O'Clock by salute
OF guns, which was repeated at noon
and at sunset. Fireworks were sent
up in the evening from Mr.. Walters
cottage, and also from the village. A
big bowery dance commenced in the
village at three o'clock in the after
noon and continued until the next
morning. Everybody and his best girl
was there and the large temporary
floor was crowded. A neighboring or
chestra furnished music.
1t is not necessary to say that Ma
pleton's grand celebration was an un-
paralleled success. railways is. The
most important part of the forenoon's
program was the speech by Prof. A.
E. Giddings, of Minneapolis. After
reviewing the causes and effects of the
revolution, the speaker turned his at
tention to the present condition OF
things, the burning questions that
must be settled, and the growing evils
that must be suppressed. He spoke
earnestly and eloquently of the duty
each one must perform in the conquest
of wrongs and the triumph of right.
The basket picnic was next in order
and the way the lemonade and picnic
pie disappeared was wonderful to see.
The baseball game between Mapleton
and Sterling resulted in victory for
the latter: score 10 to 80. The hurdle
race was won by Ben Taylor. The
horse race by Alex Greig's horse. "The
Two Vagabonds," presented in the
afternoon and evening by the Maple
ton Comedy Co. was too funnyfor any
thing. Dancing all day and evening
in three bowerieS furnished plenty of
diversion for those who were inclined
that way. There was a goOdly sprink-
ling of Mankato people in the crowd
and we dare say every one went home
intensely satisfied.
A very pleasant celebration occurred
at Lake Crystal, under the auspices of
the Knights Of Pythias. A number OF
visiting Knights were there, including
about twenty from this city. There
was parade, pony race, boat races,
ball game, and dance in the evening.
