The Receipts for the Year Ending March
81, 1898, show Wonderful nCrease.
According to the statement of Postmaster
Wheeler the gross receipts of the postotiice
for the year ending March 81, lS93 were
$50, $40. 80. For the same period of time
in 1892 the receipt, were $50, b,S St, and
in 1891 $40, 6l0, 3S. The figures reached
tue past year were by far the largest OF any
year in the history of the office and greatly
exceed the mott sanguine expectations Of
Postmaster Wheeler.
There is probably not another postotlice
in city the size OF burlington in the
United States that has made SO good a
showing. ln fact, Mr.. Wheeler thinks the
office will lead all others in the percentage
of increase.
The gross receipts of the office for the
four years ending March u, 1880, were as

Children Cry for
Pitchers CaStOrIa.
Special Announcement.

Owing to the close times several
merchants to whom we had sold stocks
of boots, shoes and rubbers were I'M
able to meet their. payments and we
were obliged to take back the goods.
These goods being more or less shelf
worn, and broken lots are not in good
shape to ship out again. So we have
decided to offer them at low prices
for cash at retail, and to close them
out. We so have good many pairs
that were used for samples which we
will close out at retail. This is an op-
portunity to get some cheap footwear.
Store will be open until $50 every
evening. c. H. Austin, Son & Co.

bushel, none of which has been paid;
also that in October, 1891, the plain
tiff sold to the defendent AS bushels
of flax at IS cents bushel, none of
which has been paid. The plaintiff
therefore asks judgment for 500,
1888. SO and S37S.25, with interest on
each sum to date. Lorin Cray is at
torney for the plaintiff.
Horace E. Thompson commenced

defendant has had wrongful possession

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the eustachian tube. When
this tube gets infamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed deafness
is the result, and unless the infam-
nation can be taken out end this tube
restored to it's normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh
which is nothing but an infamed con.
dition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars

LEGATION:
To the Editor: The sensational
and ridiculous article on the Normal
school building in your Saturdays
issue needs reply. 1t was was writ
ten without knowledge and in any
thing but judicial spirit. The article
clearly shows the writer had not seen
the architects plans, had not sought
an interview with the management
of the school, and had simply drawn a
hasty conclusion from little lnspec-
tiOn of the new and old building as
they now appear. OF them as they
will appear.when completed the writer
has no conception.
Allow me to say that great deal Of
consideration was given to the plan
of the new assembly room in the mat
ter of convenience and safety, bY the
architect, by Director Clark and my
self, and by the teachers of the school,
The means of exit are ample, direct
and convenient.

the new wings of the Winona Normal

the building will be unsafe from fire
The change from steam heating
Originally planned)was made for good
reasons.
Let "Citizen" come up again and
not merely View the premises in
question" but understand how the
premises will be when completed, and
he will see that his article was wholly
unadvised, uncalled for, and needs an
apology. EDWARD Soaring.

"A dispatch from LeSueur to the

Fritze, who recently purchased the
Cole property, had Chicago draft Is
sued by New Ulm bank which he
took to a Mankato bank to get cashed.
The draft called for $1,000. They
gave him 81 900 in currency and for
the remainder a certificate Of depos-
it. Upon presentation for payment a
few days afterward the bankrefuSe d
to cash the paper, as clause on their
certificates gives them an option of
paying in six months after issuance,
if they prefer to take that time, They
however, agreed to pay him on Mon
day, when the cashier went to the
safe and logged out nine bags of silver
coin and emptied them on the coun-
ter and told Mr.. FritZe to take his
money. He succeeded in hiring boy
to go to a neighbOring store to
buy grain bag. Into this he put the
money. But his troubles were not
vet ended. The load was too much to
carry to the depot, and his next step
was to hire dray to get his precious
burden transported.

ing's minstrels: "Not withstandlng

every seat in the Grand Opera House
was filled on the occasion OF the ap-
pearance of Chas. e. Shilling's min
strels. Although the MINISTRIES band
is not so large as some OF its
predecessors and the managers do not
make so much of blow" it is the
best that has played here IN years. No
company has given such thorough
satisfaction nor received such hearty
applause. The stage setting of the
first part is decidedly gorgeous with
beautiful scenery and rich crimson
damask curtains, and the performers
are dressed in handsome pink and
white silk costumes. But it is not
the dress that makes the show. All
the performers are talented. And,
besides, they really have many new
gags, and everybody knows they are
scarce in minstrel entertainment.
Taking it all together, it is without
a doubt the best minstrel show we
have had in years. This company
will appear at the Mankato Theatre,
