"A double wedding was celebrated
in this city yesterday. The hap
by couples were David j. Price, of
Blue Earth City, and Miss Catherine
A. Morgan of Lake Crystal, and Jas.
Z. Hughes, of Minneapolis, and Miss
Emma Price of Lake Crystal. The
contracting parties are excellent young
people, who have many friends in this

Presiding Elder Hair has just re-
ceived the sad intelligence that Rev.
VIM. Teal, farmerly pastor Of the NJ.
T.. church at FairmOnt, who some
time ago met with serious injury to
one of his eyes, departed this life at
Milwaukee, Wis, on Sunday evening
last. Mr.. Teal went to Milwaukee a
few months ago, and an operation was
performed on the injured eye, much to
his relief. Complications however set
in, and finally he was Frustrated by
paralysis, and after suffering for some
weeks, he was released from his Attic
ton. A good man and true has passed
away, esteemed by all who knew him.
The Odd-FellOws of Mapleton will
celebrate the I'D anniversary of the
order tomorrow and arrangements
have been completed for grand time.
Representative from the lodges of
Mankato, AmbOy, Winnebago City,
and Fairmont will be present and join
in the procession as well as the other
festivities of the occasion. Concordia
band of this city has been engaged to
furnish the music. The local dra-
matte company will present Streets
of New York in the evening" The
street parade by members in regalia,
will occur at 1870 in the morning.
Speeches, music, ETC., will occur in
the afternoon.
Owing to the lack of interest
shown by some of the business men
who would have been most benefited,
it has been decided that Mankato shall
withdraw from the summer racing
circuit. The meeting Tuesday night
was attended by only three people,
and they decided to drop the matter
where it is, rather than run the risk
of losing money, and having the en-
tire responsibility upon their should
ers. They felt that the half dozen
who had always taken the laboring
oar in such matters should be given a
rest, and that others should manage
this race meeting, especially as they
had secured the best two days OF the
summer, July Sd and 4th, and had
raised a guarantee of over 100000
among the business men. 1t is great
ly to be regretted that Mankato is to
lose the benefit of this promising cir
cult, especially after the matter had
gone so far. Those who would have
been principally benefited by the in
flux of the large crowd that was sure
to have come, should hereafter refrain
from speaking of the dizziness of the
city in the summer, inasmuch as they
did not see fit to lend the encourage
ment of their presence at the meet
ings, and thus lost these important
races, which will bring thousands of
dollars into the smaller towns which
have the enterprise to secure them.

AS the work Of remodeling Stephen
Lamm's building progresses, it is seen
that the new front will present per-
haps the finest appearance of any on
the street. A few days of good wealth
er will allow the outside work to be
completed.
And still it is climbing the golden
stairs. Wheat is up to s1.O2 to-day.
Let 'er go. The farmers can stand it
and without grumbling. There is a
large amount of the cereal yet I'M
marketed, and those who are holders
will make no mistake by very soon be-
coming sellers.
The Odd-Fellows of Mankato, will
appropriately observe the 72nd ami
versary of the founding of the order
in America on the 9th. Just what
the program is we have not been adj
vised, but one of the features of the
entertainment will be banquet in
the evening, which is to be served in
the hall by the ladies. A social time
will be enjoyed.
"A Sunday School convention will
be held at Alma City. April % and %.
Miss Lucia Kimball, who is employed

people on the County Line On Monday
evening and will render effective work
during the convention, giving a spe-
cial lecture Tuesday evening. An ex-
tensive program has been prepared,
and we notice upon it the names of
Rev. Mr.. Barbour, W. W. P. McCon-

There should be large attendance.
No finer conditions could be asked
for to set out trees than are now the
case. The ground is well soaked with
moisture, and if tree is properly
planted it cannot fail to grow. Many
of our streets and avenues show the
need of trees. which would greatly
beautify them. One of the most at
tractive features of the city is the
number and size of the shade trees:
yet many otherwise handsome lawns
are barren of trees. 1t should be
made point by our property owners
to have as great variety of handsome
trees as can be grown in this climate.
There are many varieties of trees
which are not now to be seen in the
city, which would be much more hand
some than any that are now raised. A
nurseryman could point out just what
trees will grow and by following his
directions in getting trees and shrub
berry, a great improvement in appear
ance of the city could be wrought in a
a few years.
"A special dispatch from Mankato
to yesterdays St. Paul Nelcs anent the
postoffice building site says that pub
lie sentiment favors the Irving prop
erty, corner Front and Jackson
streets" This statement is certainly
drawing severely upon the magma
tion. Public sentiment" is so equal
ly divided between three points that
no one location can be said to have
any particular advantage over the
Others in point of advocates. The
Holbrook and Hall corners have quite
as many and as enthusiastic endorSers
as has the Irving property, and either
is more likely to be selected. While
Mr.. Cluss gave no intimation as to
what site he would recommend it is
generally admitted that it will be
taken from Second street, and that
one or the other of the properties
mentioned will be decided upon. We
will, however, know more about it
later on

In about three weeks there will be

ROMANCE.

The April number of Romance, the
magazine of the New York Story Club,
contains nineteen complete stories, all
of great interest. Among the writers
in this number are HonOre de Balzac,
Guy de Maupassant, Henry Cleveland
Wood, Robert G. Denig, Opie P. Read
and Miss M. E. Terrence. The opening
story is by Balzaz, and, besi1es beinga
masterpiece, it is noteworthy as the
only one in which the great Frenchman
deals with animal as distinguished from
human life.
The first one of the sea stories which
were announced in March, appears in
the April Romance. It is by Robert G..
Denig, of the United States Naval
Academy. Well written, full of vigor-
GUS dictiOn and thrilling adventure, and
depicting a heroic character, this story
is a good beginning of what should be
a notable series.
Every reader of good stories will find
something to his taste in the April num-
Der of Romance. Those charged with
the work of filling it's pages have ranged
over the whole world, andhave brought
together stories of the Rocky Mountain
mining camp and the London drawing
ROOM, of the Australian bush and the
Paris boulevard, of the American
Western city and the quiet English
village; stories of the travelling show
and the London slums and the French
forest and the great African desert;
love stories pure and simple, and stories
of adventure, of daring, of human suf-
fering, of narrow escapes, of mystery,
of self-sacriice and of child life. No.
one who loves fiction need go hungry
with such a collection as this within.
easy reach.
The price of Romance is only 25 cents
a number, or $3.O a year, and a speci-
men number will be sent on application
for 10 cents by the publisher. Address
the New York Story Club, 80 E. 23d

who wishes to trade direct with the
State Business Agent, make a deposit
of a sum of money with the State Bust
ness Agent, the money to be used for
such Sub-Alliance only, and to be with

LITERARY NOTES.

In an article entitled Yarns about
Diamonds" prepared for the April
number of LippjncOtt'S, David Graham
Adee gives a number of interesting
facts about diamonds, and tells many
curious stories about some of the most
famous of these gems.
A second instalment of Some Fa-
miliar Letters by Horace Greeley"
will appear in the April number of
LippincOtt'S M0gdzine. This is a re
markable series of letters written to an
intimate friend, and are revelations of
a sincere and noble character.
The author of The Story of Mar
garet Kent" Ella Olney Kirk Henry
Hayes, contributes the complete novel
to the April number of L~ippincOtt's
Magazine. 1t is entitled "Maidens
Choosing" and is a story of New York
society life. Mrs. Kirk has written a
number of delightful novels, among
them "SOns and daughters" Queen
Money, and "WalfOrd." Anew story
from her pen is sur to be welcomed
by a host of readers.
An interesting article entitled "New
Africa" by Charles Morris, will appear
in the April number of LippincOtt's
Magazine. Twenty years ago" says
Mr.. Morris, 1.-The cry Of Africa for
the Africans would have had some
warrant in fact. To-day, Africa for
the Europeans would better indicate
the situation, since fully five-sixths of
the whole continent are covered by
European claims" This is an aston
ishing statement, which, however, is
fully verified by the facts that the
writer brings forward in proof.

THE LADIES' HOME JOURNAL.

There is all the sunshine of spring
and the fragrance of flowers in The
Ladies' Home Journal for April; the
exquisite Easter cover, designed by w.
Hamilton Gibson, is a fair index to the
charm of the whole number. The per
vading Easter spirit finds perhaps it's
happiest expression in the fiction, Mrs.
Whitney's delightful serial, "a Golden
Gossip" being continued, while Maud
Burton and Caroline A. Mason con-
tribute seasOnable short stories. The
Mrs. Rossiter Lamar" of the latter.
an exceptionally strong story, forms as
attractive afeature as the clever sketch
OF Mrs. I. De Witt Talmage, which is
accompanied by a fine w0od-cut nor
trait: Other articles which will be
widely quoted are Amelia E. Bars
