City, was in the city yesterday and
purchased the brick OF Willard q
Polchow, for the new building he will
erect as soon as spring opens up.

into operation on the Omaha and
Northwestern railways, and the diff
ference in price is being realized to-
day and will continue to be from now
on.
We are requested to announce
that the travelling men who live in
this city desire to tender their sympa-
thies to their brother traveller, Mr. f.
Sherman. in the sore affection that
has come to him by the death of his
wife and child.
"A young woman is working the
scheme through this State of entering
a town or city and after a few days in
a place. she enters the stores, one
after another, and after purchasing
some valuable article tells the clerk
to charge it to Mrs. so and so. Keep
a sharp eye on this swindler.
Mr.. John Rud, one of our genial
letter carriers, has been given a vaca-
tion of eight days. Mr.. M. j. King is
acting as his substitute. The postoffice
officials gives every carrier Is days va
cation every year, and Mr.. Rud takes
half of his now and the rest when the
flowers bloom in the spring.
-Rey. l. L. Cory has rendered his
resignation as pastor of the Congrega-
tional church. This church has lost
by removals, several of it's most gen.
erous supporters within the past year
and may be compelled to accept the
resignation of their worthy pastor.
Mr.. Cory has host of friends in Man
kato who will regret his departure.
Marriages during the present
month have been quite frequent.

"A span of horses belonging to
Thos. Rooney, of Mapleton, took
fright last night in front of the store
of j. A. Lewis and ran as far as
Tinckomville where young lad ON
horseback captured them and turned
them over to the police, who in turn
put them in a barn awaiting the own
er who was doubtless in some store.
The horses were but slightly injured,
and in the words expressed by the Of
ficer, 'they are still in the ring"
The High school boys and girls
ought to be proud of their gymnasium,
ought even as it is at present. On
Mondays and Fridays, for one hour,
DR.. Webster puts the boys through
course of training that is highly bene-
fetal to them On Tuesdays
and Thursdays Miss Alice W.
Ayers attends to the exercises
of the girls. It is indeed
pleasant to watch the exercises of the
pupils on the parallel bars, dumb
bells, bell-bars etc. When they have
secured sufficient money, they will put
in extra apparatus and then it will be
equal to any gymnasium in Southern
Minnesota. z
Mr.. John Klein struck the keynote
at the BoaM of Trade meeting Mon
day, when he suggested that it
would be- good plan for the Board to
confer with the M. & ST. L. railway
officials/a and see what could be done
to secuie a depot further up town, or

ago. I The railroad committee was in
structed to wait upon Mr.. Truesdale,
the Receiver, and do all in it's power |
in the matter Mr.. Klein also sug-
gested that it might be a good plan
for the city to donate certain plat |
of ground for depot. 1t goes with |

of union depot, and now is a good
time to begin to be in earnest about
building it.
