that these posts cannot be changed, so
the boundary line must remain where

many mistakes there may be.

lie Sueur Neacs: Much complaint
is heard of the ravages done in the
wheat fields of LIE Sueur and Sibley
counties by the chinch bugs. Exam
nations in almost every field reveals
patches of deadened stalks that upon
further examination show swarms of
lively insects at work at the roots
Aside from this unfavorable aspect
the wheat in this county on the whole
stands fairly well. The oat crop is
very promising while corn has never
looked better at this season of the
year. The hay crop, which is now
safely cared for, has been excellent.
The concert to be given by the
Normal Alumni Association next
Wednesday evening at the Baptist
church will be the best thing of the
season from an artistic point of view.
1t will be the only thing of the kind
until the opera house opens in Octo-
Der. Only the best of local and out
side talent takes part, and those who
wish to enjoy treat should not fail
to attend. Reserved seats can be Sc

"A freight train passed through
the city Wednesday on the Omaha
road going north, with the tops of six
or seven box cars covered with miners,
who numbered thirty-fve. They
boarded the train at Sioux City and
were too numerous to be taken off, so
were taken on to St. Paul. They
were from Colorado and were thrown
out of work by the closing down of the
mines. They were all Americans and
were well dressed and good appearing.
At the depot they got off and got a
drink of water and got back on the
cars at once. Miners have been going
through in this manner for several
days.
"A number of Mankatoites went
to St. Peter Sunday to witness the
game of ball between the St. James
and St. Peter clubs. The game re-
suited in victory for the strangers
by score of twelve to six. We learn
that the ST. James visitors were dis
satisfied with their treatment by the
st. Peter people. There was soon to
have been ball game at ST. Peter be-
tween the st. James and Marshall
clubs for purse of 5000, but owing to
their treatment the st. James club
will not play there, and the game, we
understand, will soon take place in
this city. The two clubs are the best
IN this part of the state, land The game
will be an interesting one.
David Carpenter took a trip
through Vernon Sunday, to look lat
the crops. He found that the chinch
bugs have done considerable damage,
and on his farm the crop will be re-
duced one-third on account of the
bugs. He also found that the bugs
are not working now, probably because
the wheat stalks have hardened. The
fax crop is looking finely, as well as
everything else. Oats are good, fair,
average crop.

The interior of the opera house
presents busy sight. Fifteen car
penters and eight plasterers and lath-
ers are at work, and the pounding
makes great din. The interior is
now beginning to take it's final shape.
The flooring is nearly all in and the
gallery is being made. The latter is
supported by four iron columns. The
slope of the floor is greater than in
the old building, and the stage sets
up higher, which will give a better
view from all parts of the house. The
gallery comes forward further and ex-
tends around the sides more. The
windows have been changed and some
Of them made smaller, thus adding
to the strength of the walls. The
height of the building will prevent
the gallery from being overheated. as
in the past, and there are better ar
rangements for ventilation at the top.
The lobby and dressing rooms within
the entrance are being partitioned
off. A look at the inside of the build
ing even at this time shows that Man
kato will have perfect jem of an
opera house.
Congressman McCleary recently
wrote to Supervising Architect J.
O'Rourke, regarding the public build
ing. He received reply today, say
ing: "The modified plans of the base
ment have been completed and this
department is in correspondence with
the contractor for the work, through
the superintendent of the building,
relative to the cost of the proposed
changes; and so soon as a proposal is
received therefor, this office will give
the same immediate attention, and
will use every endeavor to hasten the
work of construction"
Leon S. Hunter celebrated his
twenty-first birthday by entertaining
about twenty of his young gentlemen
friends last evening. The evening
was spent in playing cards, and fine
refreshments were served. After
wards the party gathered on the front

tanned the balance with college
songs. All present enjoyed the oc-
casion immensely and voted Leon a
first class host.
