The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1892-08-05
j. M. Karmany yesterday purchas-


them to Mr.. Karmany? This one will
be served up to the patrons of the
Pioneer Meat Market, and they will
have some toothsome dishes.
During the three years that The
has been open it has had a
larger patronage than the owner an
ticipated. The proprietor, G. H. Saul
paugh, has become very popular with
the travelling public and the fame of
his hospitality has spread over large
territory. The clerks are polite and
accommodating and the service all
that could be desired. Mankato
will never have occasion to regret the
day when the Saulpaughs arrived.
The head of a barrel filed with
steam in the City Hotel laundry blew
off Saturday, and the escaping steam
severely scalded German girl who
was working there, and who has lately
come to this country. The girls
breast, arms and neck were so badly
burned that the flesh peeled off, but
she will soon recover. Mrs. Himmel-
man was standing IN the doorway and
had a narrow as well as fortunate es-
cape, though she still feels the effect
upon the top of her head.
The school board held meeting
Friday highland elected Chas. Good

"A man from Ottawa stopped over
in the city Friday on his way to
Mortified and met an old acquaint-
ance. They "boozed up together and
last night went to sleep in the same
bed in a down town hotel. During
the night the Mankato man says that
he was awakened by feeling his
friends hand pulling his pocket-book
from under his pillow. He grabbed
the Ottawa man by the shoulder and
the latter promised to return the
purse at once if the matter was kept
quiet. Officer Kelly heard of the af-
fair and locked up the stranger, but
as the Mankato man had no complaint
to make he was released this morn
ing. The purse contained SAL. The
Ottawa man denied that he took the
pocket book, but says that it was
lying on the floor, having fallen out
of its owners pocket.
The ordinance committee met
Thursday night with the health Of
ficer and city attorney, and talked
over the proposed ordinance requiring
sewer connections to be put in. Mr..
Young will prepare an ordinance re-
Quiring that all cess pools and privies
along Front and Second streets, where
there are sewers and water mains, be
removed and connections be made
with the sewer. This ordinance, or
one effecting the same end, should
pass without objection. We have al
ready had occasion to refer to this up
on the score of cleanliness and health.
That argument is strongly reinforced
by the fact that Asiatic cholera is
now raging in Europe q nd may at
any time make it's appearance in this
country, brought in by the crowded
shiploads of immigrants who daily
land in New York and come to the
great Northwest. Once in this coun-
try, the disease would quickly reach
the Twin Cities and then every locali-
ty that is not in an extremely health
full sanitary condition will suffer. 1t
may not be this fall, but next year
the danger will be many times greater
than now. Let US prepare in time,
and put our money in sewer cOnnec-
tions rather than in pesthouses, dis
infectants, big doctors bills and fun
eral charges.
