Fred Howe of Jericho, who was employed
as locomotive engineer on the st. Lawrence
and Adirondack railroad, was fatally in
jured near Loon Lake whilo running a CON
struction train on that road Thursday. The
cars were being dumped and in the hurry,
a car was thrown on to the engine breaking
the smokestack. Bounding of, it struck
Mr. Howe, who probably jumped from his
engine. He received severe bruises,
was internally injured and badly
scalded by the escaping steam. He
was taken to the Loon Lake House,
where physicians examined him and thought
he had better be taken to the hospital here,
adding that if lie stood the journey there
was possibility of his recovering. Ferdin-
and Chase, proprietor of the house, started
with the injured man Friday, stopping over
night at Plattsburgh, where about / q. m,
Mr.. Howe breathed his last. The remains
were brought here and sent TO Jericho by
Mr.. Chase Saturday. Mr.. Howe was about
IS years old. He was an Industrious man
and that his life should be 50 suddenly
terminated is indeed sad.

CITY HEALTH.

The health authorities have met
with considerable trouble in getting
people to clean up about their prem
ises, and to abate nuisances. While
the majority of people upon whom
notices have been served have shown
a Willingness to cooperate with the
officials, some have neglected to do so
In order TO enforce the orders of the
board the council last night amended
the health ordinance, and hereafter
any one who fails to comply with the
directions of the board Of health will
be prosecuted in the courts. Some
cases are apt to be brought very soon.
1t is given out that one of the ply
sicians has failed to report certain
cases of sickness to the board, as re-
quired by law, and if this continues
to be the case it is likely that he will
be given an opportunity to make an
explanation in court.
The health officers have had trouble
in Quarantining one or two houses
where there are contagious diseases,
and it has been necessary to call upon
the police to assist in maintaining
quarantine.
There is very little sickness in the
city, in fact, less than usual. The
cleaning up ordered on account of
the cholera promises to be beneficial
in warding off other contagious dis
eases, and the board deserves the sup
port of all good citizens. Sewer con-
nections should be put in wherever
ordered, and above all, city water
should take the place of well water in
use for drinking purposes as rapidly
as possible. No family in the city
should use well water when city wa
ter could be had.
DR.. Warner states that every one
who knows of place that should be
looked after or condemned may make
report to him or the inspector and
complaint will be made without the
informant's name being made known
to the party complained Of

POSTOFFICE NOTES.

j. +. Herold, who was formerly ar
efficient clerk in the postffice, has
again accepted a position there and
commenced his duties today. Since
he left Mankato he has been up into
the Canadian Northwest, but came
here from Owatonna. The patrons OF
the Office will be pleased at this ap.
pointment.
The proposed addition of night
clerk to the force, mentioned in this
paper two weeks ago, will become a
reality tonight. Chas. Schwanenberg
will commence his duties as such,
and will distribute the mails as they
come in throughout the night, max
ing it possible for citizens to get their
mail at the postotfice by seven O'Clock
instead Of eight in the morning, and
permitting the carriers to get out on
time. The evening mail will also be
held open later. This will be a very
desirable improvement.
Bob" Thomas, one OF the popular
mail carriers, returned yesterday after
noon from his trip to Washing ton,
and reports fine time.

IMPORTANT SUIT.

An important lawsuit was com.
menced before Judge SeveranceSatur-
day. About month ago the firm of
Friedman & Kruger. of Minnesota
Lake, dealers in general merchandise,
sold their stock to Peter Kramer, of
the same place. with the proceeds of
the sale they paid portion of their
debts, and the creditors who were not
paid are now wondering how they will
get their money. One of these firms
is the Kuhl & Cummings Co.. of st.
Paul, whose claim amounts to about
$500. This firm today petitioned
Judge Severance to have a receiver
appointed for Friedman & Kruger,
claiming that the firm was insolvent
and paid some creditors in preference
to others, and that the sale to Mr..
Kramer was fraudulent. Ewing 6,
Ewing, a ST. Paul law firm, appeared
for the petitioners and Lorin Cray and
w. L. Plymat for Friedman & Kru-
ger, while w. E. Young was present
in the interest of g. H. Austin, Son
& Co., another creditor.
Judge Severance dismissed the pc
tition on the ground that it did not
state facts sufficient to entitle the pc.
titioners to the relief prayed for. A
new petition will be presented next
week, and the case will be pressed
The total amount of claims outstand-
ing is not known. The defendants
claim that they acted in good faith.

SUNDAY CLOSING.
Mayor Willard FayOrs General Clos
ing of the Stores on
Sundays.

1t is practice among many of the
merchants foreman open on Sundays,
at least part of the day. Many OF
these regret the practice, but fear to
close on account of losing trade, and
they would be glad to join general
closing movement. One prominent
merchant stated to US today that he
believed that all who are open Sun
days would readily agree to close, if
assured that 20 one was violating
the movement.
There is no doubt that the moral
atmosphere of the city would be i'm
proved by Sunday closing, and the
clerks would be given holiday that
they ought to have. 1t seems as
though every argument was in favor
of the change. When those patrons
who choose Sunday as day for trad
ing learn Of the change they can as
well come to the city on any other
day.
Mayor Willard has been consulted
by some of those DESTROYS to make the
reform, and has written the following
request, which all the business men
will be givenan opportunity to sign
within few days:
To THE MERCHANTS OF MANKATO:
1t has often been brought to my no.
tice by citizens and merchants who
keep open part or all the day Sundays
that it would be much better for all
to be closed, and l think if all would
do so each would be willing to do So,
and l think it would be creditable to
our city to have this SO arranged, and
l would ask those of our merchants
who have been in the habit of opening
their stores on Sunday to signify upon
this paper if they are willing to close
if others do, signature only necessary.
Very Respectfully,
j. A. WILLARD, Mayor.
We hope to see every firm which has
been doing business on Sunday en-
dorSe this.
