The Court House Square.


/. Inc court house square presents
anything but creditable appearance
just now. The clay with which it has
been filled is cut into irregular ra-
vines by the washing Of the rain; the
weeds In many places are assuming
grave proportions" and where the
weeds are not, there is only the bare
ground. No grass anywhere on the
square, and the one sickly looking
tree used as snubbing post for one
OF the guyropes running from the new
High school building. Judging from
present appearances there will be
weeds enough there by fall to hide a
regiment of soldiers, and they will
ripen seeds enough to seed down the
whole county. If the clay were COW
cred with layer of black dirt and the
square seeded down, the sod would
prevent washing, and the grass would
be a'vast improvement over the pres
ent condition. Then if a few trees
were set out and properly cared for,
the place might be made one of the
handsomest in the city. By all means
let the court house grounds be i'm
proved SO as to correspond in beauty
with the building.

MAPLETON ITEMS.
From the Enterprise.


Prof. A. E. Giddings, of Minneapo-
lis, has been secured to deliver the
Fourth of July Grafton at Mapleton.
Judge Severance could not be secured
owing to court engagements in other
parts of the district.
At the meeting of the Alliance Irvine
committee at Good Thunder last Sat-
urday it was decided to purchase of
the Alliance business agency at ST..
Paul. A part of the Irvine to be used
will be from the penitentiary at Still
water.
We understand that an effort is be-
ing made to establish flag station at
the Willard & Fuller stock farm in or
der to accommodate the large number
of visitors who daily call to look over
the mammoth ranch and see the fine
stock.
Station Agent Austin's report of the
business done at this station during
the year 1890 reveals the fact that one
hundred and two car loads of stock
was shipped from this point during
that period. A pretty good showing,
yet we have shipped almost that many
SO far this year.

A "HOIy Shekel."

Such is the name of an ancient Jew
ish coin of a certain character, Of
which it is said that there are but two
in existence. 1t is over rare on ac-
count of it's antiquity. Judging from
the Hebrew characters upon either
side, it's origin is presumed to date
back to the days of King Solomon,
and it is valued by connoisseurs in
that line at thousands ofdollars, while
it's intrinsic value is comparatively
nothing. Many large collections can
be found of coins of various kinds to
which are attached strange histories
and curious designs. In sense, the
''shekels of to-day" are holy or unholy
but they count just the same for any
of the necessities of life-a sack of
flour, suit of clothes or trip on the
rail. The Minneapolis & ST. Louis
Railway will accept them for tickets
via its lines, and if any question is
brought up about it, refer the matter

BOARD OF TRADE.

At uthe meeting Of the Board of
TradeMonday morning several commu-
nications addressed to Geo. Maxfield,
Jr., in regard to proposed excursion
of Chicago architects to this city,
were read. The excursion goes to
Sioux Falls and Pipestone and might
possibly be secured for this city if the
necessary funds were raised. But it
is Sioux Falls excursion, and if they
come to Mankato it would be merely
side issue. 1t was thought best to
pay little more and have distinct
lively Mankato excursion later on,
when no other city will be visited.
The excursion is for the interest of
the stone quarry men. 1t starts from
Chicago June Goth, and if day is Sc
cured for Mankato it will be Sunday
next. The expenses are about 800
per day, which the city would have to
pay.
1t was voted to ask each of the stone
quarrymen to prepare six inch cubes
of the different grades of stone in
their quarries, to be ready this week
to be sent to Washington for filing
in the Supervising Architects office.
This may have a bearing upon the
stone to be used upon the public
building.
The use Of the room was granted to
the Railroad and Warehouse Commits
sioners, for June 25th, the day upon
which they will meet the representa-
tiyes of the county alliance.
Some samples of fax fibre were ex-
hibited and the question of giving a
bonus for a factory discussed. A COM
munication was also received in re-
gard to a knitting factory. No deci-
sive action was taken upon either
matter.

A Serious Charge.

A young man named Ruel McKinb-
bin was arrested Wednesday night by
Sheriff Glynn, near Madelia, on tele-
graphic instructions from the sheriff
of Edwards county, Illinois. The
prisoner was charged with attempted
abortion, and was indicted at Albion,
ILL.,, together with a doctor, on the
charge. The Illinois sheriff arrived
Sunday with reQuision papers from
the governor of that state, and took
the prisoner, who had been in jail
since Wednesday. The sheriff said that
there is clear case against McKinb-
bin. He says that the latter and a
doctor started to perform an abortion
on young lady, but did not complete
it. McKinbbin denies the charge and
says it is a case of attempted black
mail. He does not deny but that he
might have been the father of her
child, but says that he paid the wo-
man $500 in full settlement. He re-
Gently married another young lady
and came to this county for work. He
says that this fact stirred the other
woman up to take the action she did.

The HanlOn-UOlters Combination il
Now with the Great FOrepaugh
Show

The most colossal, varied and at
tIactive circus organization in the
world is without doubt the one now
before the public in connection with
the Adam Forepaugh Menagerie, Hip
podrome, Wild West, sc.
A distinguished feature of the are
mic department this season is the ap-
pearance therein of the world-famed
Hanlon- Volters at every presentation
of the circus. These marvellous arei-
alists will present their wonder-work-
ing and death-defying aerial act known
as the "Leap for Life" For this
performance the entire width of the
three arenas is required. Two trapese
bars are suspended from the dome Of
the canvas, one at each of the outer
limits of the arena, 40 feet above the
ground, and not less than &c feet
apart. The intrepid gymnasts ascend
to these swaying trapese bars, and
each grasping bar, after acquiring
sufficient momentum, let go their frail
supports, and throw themselves for
ward with a mighty bound, each aim
ing to catch the opposite swinging
bars, which are swaying backward
and forward. AS they let go their
hold they turn completely round, and
with nice calculation of time and
distance, which seems super-human,
under the circumstances, they both
catch the dangling bars, just as they
appear leaving them, and it seems as
if they were to fall headlong to the
ground.
Distance, height and depth seem
nothing to these daring gymnasts in
their gigantic leap. The Adam Fore
paugh shows are announced to exhibit
here On Tuesday, july.

least one dreaded disease that science
has been able to cure in all it's stages,
and that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure now
known to the medical fraternity. Ca
tarrh being a constitutional disease,
requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure is taken internal

mucous surfaces of the system, there
by destroying the foundation of the
disease, and giving the patient strength
by building up the constitution and
assisting nature in doing it's work.

One Hundred Dollars for any case
that it fails to cure. Send for list of

number in camp is as follows:

Sergt. Thomas has been promoted

The system of guard detail has been
changed from the usual custom to
company guard mount, 4. e.: each COM
pany is detailed to do guard duty for
twenty-fout hours, the Captain acting
as officer of the day and the Lieuten-
ants to act as senior and junior officers
of the guard respectively. They are
detailed in the order of the seniority
Of the Captains, which places Co. f
on guard the last night in camp which
pleases the boys. The 'scopolochers'
greeted us with their usual vivacity
and seemed pleased to rest their weary
wings upon the facial members of the
boys. Co. f is very much pleased
with the change in the location of the
camp. The streets are high, dry and
grassy, and do not require the assist
ance of board of public works to
keep them in order. The permanent
mess houses and kitchens are also a
vast improvement over the dilapidat-
ed mess tents of last year. Three
companies of the 3rd regiment were
ordered to camp with us, but were
subsequently ordered to return home
and come to camps after the 1st regi-
ment goes out: the unnecessary eX-
pense incurred by the commands and
counter commands are not looked upon
with much favor by the line officers of
the I'd regiment, and some feel (of
course they cannot say as that would
be criticising their superior officers)
that something is rotton in the
state of Denmark. No one would be
so mean as to hint, however, that
Denmark is synonym for a certain
corner of the capitol building in ST.
