HOuQ uCl, S1VSu 4O4OFC1!
The supreme court Of the United
States does not adjourn for anything
t,1t1ing. 1t must be the death OF a
cabinet minister, or tho death Of a
president, or somo matter of very
great moment. When I find all
heaven adjourning its other joys for
this one joy, make up my mind it
is of very great importance if heav-
On can afford to adjourn all other
festivities to celebrate this ono tri-
umph.
Do you wonder that SO many of
these Christian people have toiled
night and day in this work of soul
saving; if it is of such vast impor-
tancel Do you wonder that Nettle-
ton and Finley and Bishop Asbury
and John Wesley and George White
field and Paul and angels and Christ
and God stripped themselves for the
work9 Around that one soul circles
the mist, the fire, the darkness, the
joy, the anthem, tho waiing, the
hallelujah and the woe of Gods uni
verse. If the soul is saved, then LIP
comes to trumpet and fingers to harp
and hammer to bell and there is
JOY among the angels of God over
that one soul forgiven. For such a
soul plead.
RELIGION A COMFORT AND A JOY.
Having found in. my own expert
ence that this religion is a comfort
and JOY, l stand here to commend
it to you. In the days of my infancy

A SUCCESSFUL PARTY.

One of the best and most interesting
affairs held this winter was the "Bon-
net social" held at the residence of
Miss Fannie Pitcher, last night.
The young men responded nobly to
the invitation extended, and from the
time the material for bonnets was
produced until the hour of departure,
everybody present went in to enjoy
themselves to their hearts content.
The idea which was successfully
carried out, was for the young men to
trim bonnets while the young ladies
enjoyed themselves by looking on. 1t
was real, genuine fun to see clerks
and merchants, whose business it is
to sell clothing, compound drugs, at
tend the sick, measure calico, etc,
with thread and needle in hand at
tempt to do the work of milliners. A
consolation" prize was offered and
Mr.. Henry Hanse succeeded in secur-
ing the same. He was presented with
a thimble, needle and thread for the
purpose of taking them home and
practicing.
Mr.. Thomas Rooney was compli-
mented for his excellent work and it
was limited that an application from
him to a first-class milliner would re-
ceive a favorable reply.
Mr.. Jacob p. Heck, fresh from the
scenes and experiences of Minneapolis
appeared to be more interested in the
fair sex than in bonnet trimming
hence, his work was somewhat neg
lected until brought up with short
! turn by the committee of charming
young ladies.
| Mr.. John Rules effort to trim a hat
was appreciated and some individual
may be seen on our streets with his
workmanship and idea.
DR.. Waite doctOred his hat in such
a manner that it might take a prize
at the Worlds fair. The doctor is {
better physician than he is bonne1
trimmer.
Another young man, whose name
we refrain from mentioning, was com
PEELED to call upon three young ladie
before he could get the thread through
the eye of the needle, and when h'
fairly got started he startled thOs'
watching him by putting on enough
flowers, etc. to exhaust good size(
stock of any milliner in Mankato.
! After the bonnetS had been pu
one side Miss Pitcher entertained
those present with several musica
selections. The whiStling of Mr.
John Rule was appreciated. Mis-
Zimmerman also entertained tn
guests in a creditable manner. Sey
eral others displayed their musica
ability and at the hour Of departur
everybody declared it to be one OF tn
social events of the season.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-Representa-
tive O'Neill, of Missouri, is reported as
having said: "You can say that there
will be war. Don't put any ifs or ors to
it. Make the statement broad and I'M
qualified"
A prominent officer Of the army, who
received letter from one Of the naval
force at Valparaiso, said: "In six
weeks a detachment of the army will be
moving on Chill. l thoroughly believe
what say"
Mr.. O'Neills statement is regarded as
evidence of change of feeling on the
part of some of the Democrats in the
house who do feel that they cannot af-
ford to let it be known that President
Harrison is in favor of maintaining an
advanced position upon the question of
asserting and defending a courageous
American position, and that the major
ity of the house of representatives are
not inclined to back him up in it.
The officer quoted has exceptional op-
portunities for knowing just what is
the sentiment of the people of Chill as
manifested to the officers of the United
States vessels in the harbor of Valparaiso
and is undoubtedly honest in the ex.
preston he made.
And yet it may be said that there has
nothing developed in the situation OF
affairs as viewed from an official stand
point which can be said to indicate any
material change, or upon which war
rants the gentlemen in making the as.
sertions quoted. 1t can be authorize.

The GILLIAN SITUATION
Recent Developments i'm the
Matter Causing Much
Uneasiness.
Officials Who Viewed the Affair
Lightly Change Their
Opinions.
An Army officer Says That in Six
Weeks Troops Will Be Moving
on Chill.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-There can be
little doubt that the developments of
the last few days in the investigation
now being conducted at San Francisco
by Judge Advocate General Remey into
the attack upon the Baltimore's crew,
the publication OF the testimony in the
Shields case and the ugly demonstra-
ton againstIthe Yorktown's gig crew
have had the effect to create very un-
easy feeling at the capitol. Senators
and representatives who have all along
derided the idea of any serious result
following the Chilian correspondence
and have had the greatest confidence
that Chill would soon tender an ample
apology and make reparation for the
misdeeds of her citizens are now willing
to admit privately that the situation is
full of the gravest difficulties.

FIRST ANNUAL REPORT OF CITY
ENGINEER HAYNES.

In accordance with the new char
ter of the City of Mankato, City En-
gineer M. B. Haynes has issued his
first annual report, and the same will
be submitted to the president of the
Board of Public Works.
The report is complete in every de-
tail and Mr.. Haynes deserves much
credit for the time he has expended
in preparing the document.
In looking over the report we find
that previous to, the year 1891, 9,0S9
feet of main sewer pipes were laid at a
cost of 1924, 047.49. During the past
year 4, 141 feet of main sewers have
been laid at a cost of 81, 337.00. In
addition to this house connections
have been made to the extent Of 5000
feet, at cost of S6,53S36, making a
total of S3l, SS5.S5 expended upon our
sewer system to date.
Many timely suggestions are offer
ed in regard to the. paving of Front
street and the comparative cost OF
paving in other cities. Previous to
the year 1891, $50, 340.33 was expend-
ed upon the water works system.
This amount, together with the cost
of laying mains during 1891, which
was So, 334.39, makes total of $S3,
6S0.72 expended up to Jan. /, 1892,
without including cost of expert
ments on Bunker Hill. The water
works expenses from the year 1879 to
Dec "a, 1891, foots up nearly $4,000

M. n. Kellogg, an old settler of
Saint Paul and one who has become
blind in his old age, is weatherproph-
ct Of no mean pretenSiOns. Unlike
friend Lockerby who governs his
predictions by the thickness of the
corn husks, or the old timers who
guage theirs by the heaVineSS OF the
musk-rat houses, he is influenced by
astronomical observations. Mr. Kel-
logg has placed himself on record in
favor of an early spring. The Saint
Paul Globe says: For forty three
years he has kept the closest record
of the weather and upon these in con-
nection with astronomical data, he
makes his forecasts. To Globe re-
porter the other day he predicted
that January would probably be a
hummer in the way Of weather. The
sun will be in perihelion on January
4th and the numerous sun spots he
thought would bring on cold wave.
The principal planetary disturbances
which bring on storms will occur in
January from the 4th to the 9Th, 10th
to 24th and 2Sth to 3lSt. Each of the
storms will be followed by excessive
cold weather of increasing force, the
coolest spell being the week from the
18th to the 10Th, when the mercury
will drop to 30 degrees below zero.
This chilly picture of January is off
set by the conditions TO follow. On
February 7th Mercury will be in the
aphelion, which will terminate the
cold weather. Mr.. Kellogg is conf.
dent that we will have pleasant
March and an early spring.

THE SWEDISH CHURCH.
Work Will Be Resumed on the Edifice
In a Few Weeks.
A Brief History of the Church.

Through the tenacious energy OF the
members of the Swedish Evangelical
Lutheran Emanuel church, the edifice
which was started two years ago Will
be completed in the near future.
The church is situated on Main
street, between Broad and Fourth
streets and will be erected according
to the plans as drawn by +. Thayer,
architect.
For two years the congregation has
Worshiped in the basement. The edl-
fee to be built will be magnificent
one being about 50x92 feet, with a
seating capacity for 600 persons. The
front view will consist of three spires
above the entrance, the center spire
being supported on each side by two
small ones.
The church was organized Jan. 10th,
1887 and two years later the basement
was built, the work being practically
performed by members of the congre-
CATION who labored given number of
DAYS and those unable to perform
manuel labor hired others to do their
share. Out of the largeneSs of his
heart Mr.. Fred Widell donated sever
al carloads of stone which went to-
ward building the foundation. Through
this generous donation and the per-
sonal work of the members about
800 was saved.
The committee who have the mat
ter of erection in charge consists OF
Messrs J. A. Nordgren, Walfred Wass.
John G. Magnuson, John Lans and A.
NJ Weimer.
The committee on funds is as fol-
lows: Messrs John Magnuson, John
PaulsOn. John Wass and E. M. Wei
mer
The trustees are: Karl Gustaf.
John Paulson and Walfred Wass.
The progress made in the matter OF
securing funds to further the work
gives much credit to the pastor, Rev
S. G. Franzen, who has worked inces-
sanity for the church of which he pre-
sides over. The members Of the con-
gregation do not claim to be wealthy
men in any sense Of the term, but
from their hard earnings they are
ready and willing to put their hands
in their pockets and give their share
toward a building, where they can
worship God according to the dictates
of their own conscienceS.
There is an excellent Sunday school
connected with the church looked
after and watched over by the follow
ing named officers: Andrew Under.
Supt., Miss Emma Torngren, Sec'y
Martin Paulson, Treas. They also
have an English class every Sunday
afternoon at $50 o'clock.
Heretofore the services in the church
have been held on alternate Sundays
but now fund has been raised fol
the purpose of securing a student
from the Gustayus Adolphus college
at st. Peter to preach both morning
and evening on the Sunday the pastor
breaches across the bridge.

THE MAHDI LOSING HIS GRIP.
He Neglects His Family, and Has Let
khartoum Go to Ruin.

LONDON, Jan. 2-Telegrams have been
received here from the Congo which con-
firm the statements made by Father
Orhwalder. He said that forty Europeans
were still in the hands of the Mahdists
in Omdurman. They are loaded
with manacles and cruelty beaten.
In telling the mode of living while in
captivity, the father said the Mahdi
granted no provision for the subsistence
of the captives, but allowed them sufficient
liberty to earn living as best they could.
Father Ohrwalder lived by tailoring
and weaving, and the sisters
by baking and selling. bread.
During the last ten months the fugitlves
had lived in mud huts, but previously
their only shelter was made with their
own hands from canes and maize stalks.
They describe Khartoum as all destroyed
excepting only the Austrian church
and General Gordon's palace, and vegeta-
ton is covering the sites of the houses.
During two years famine and smallpox
made severe ravages in the SOudan. Maize
rose to ten times its normal value
but now food is plentiful and
cheap. Today's advces from the Congo
corroborate Father Ohrwalder's report of
the waning power of the dervishcs in the
southwestern part of the Soudan. They
state that frequent conflicts have occurred
between the Mahdists and native chiefs,
and the latter have been often victorious.
Father Ohrwalder and the sisters trav-
eled direct from korosko TO Cairo, and a
dispatch received from the last named
city stated that the priest, in speaking of
affairs in the Soudan, had said the
numerous widows of Mahdi are COM
planning that khalif Abdallah
does not provide them with
maintenance BETTING their station, and
their grievance has been supported by
Khalif Sheriff. The latter also opposes
Abdallah's scheme of making the Mahdi's
succession hereditary, instead OF elective,
as provided for by Mohammed. These
discussions are weakening the power of
the Mahdi, and Father Ohrwalder saws
the people would welcome any change to
relieve them from its tyranny.
