S, E. BLAKE & co.
Art Photography, 118 Jackson st.

In photography, some artists excel
in the graceful pose of their subjects,
with fine eye to the effects of light
and shade upon some particular fea-
lures: while others use more judgment
in the preparation Of chemicals and
and the philosophic branches Of the
art. In this city we have a studio
where all these branches are combin-
ed. Reference is had to the firm of
S. e. Blake Il Co., who are rare mas
tiers OF the Photographic art and well
deserve the position of leadership ac-
corded them. This gallery is situat-
ed on the ground floor with elegantly
furnished reception rooms. The OPP
Grating room *has recently been refit-
ted with the most modern appliances
uOus back grounds etc, and is the best
lighted and most thoroughly equipped
gallery in the city. At this popular
studio can be obtained everything in
the line of photography, from locket
to life size, also commercial phOtOgra-
ply including the views of residences
and public buildings. The iDstan-
taneouS method is here adopted and
a cloudy or dark day will not inter-
fere with the production of firSt-ciass
work. Although the work turned out
of this studio is of such high class
of art, the prices will be found the
lowest in the city. Each patron re-
ceiveS the most careful attention and
all work is done promptly and salts
faction guaranteed in every instance,

Harness and Saddlery, 222 s. Front St.
This enterprise we regard as one
worthy of special mention, not only
for the superior stock that is always
carried, but for the advantages and
conveniences that are always tender
ed close cash buyers who show their
acknowledgement of these benefits by
steadily increasing patronage. Here
can be found, one of the largest and
best selected stocks of harness, sad
dies, whips, robes, nets, turf goods
etc in the city. The stock is selected
with great care, only the choicest ma
terials are used and the most skilled
workmen employed, while all work is
warranted as represented. A note
worthy feature Of this house is that
all work is done by hand, no machin-
cry being used whatever-hence the
superiority of the goods. By treating
customers in the most liberal manner
and selling goods at the very lowest
figure, this house enjoys the distinct
ion of being the leading concern de-
voted to this line of business in Man
kato. The goods speak for them
selves and the prices are always at
tractiye to buyers who fully realize
the advantages to be obtained by
dealing at this enterprising house
All transactions are strictly straight
forward and honorable.

ly to the one price system, thus treat

has ample means to increase it's stock
at will. In fact, it is it's ability to
buy and integrity to sell at the very
lowest figures, which enables it to

A. B. SMITH.
Real Estate, Insurance and Loans.
1l9 Jackson st.

liz dChSOH OU.
1t is an undisputed fact that the
development of property in the out
skirts of MankatO and the material
increase in the value of real estate
throughout the entire city is largely
due TO the energetic efforts OF our
prominent and enterprising real eS-
tate dealers. The most prominent
real estate, Insurance, loan and col
lecting agent in the city is that Of
Mr.. A. b. Smith. Large transactions
are conducted by him, buying and sell
ling property renting houses, collect
ing rents, leaning money on real eS-
tate and besides, does very large
business in fire, life, accident and
tornado Insurance, in which latter
line he represents several of the
staunchest old line insurance COM
panies in the United States. This
gentleman is experienced and con-
versant and understands insurance
business from Alpha to Omega and
will cheerfully furnish information
to those contemplating insurance.
He loans money on bonds and mort
cages, his excellent connections en-
abling him to do SO promptly and on
terms most favorable to the borrower.
He is also prepared to take charge of
real estate for nonresidents andothers
and has earned an enyiable reputa-
tion for the way in which he main
tains property at the highest stand
ard of productiveness. To capitalists
he offers safe and profitable channels
of investment while in all cases the
fees and commissions are extremely
moderate. In word, Mr.. Smith is
recommended to investors and those
seeking insurance or loans as one
with whom it will be most profitable
to deal, assuring to all clients as he
does prompt, liberal and honorable
treatment in any and every transac-
ton he negotiates. His reputation
for integrity and reliability is too we'll
established to need any further word
of commentator.
Miss Redner is offering special iu-
ducements in her large and elegant
line of trimmed hats. Her trimmed
goods will be sold at 10 per cent dis

THE OPERA HOUSE.
Description of the Building as it VIII
Appear after Remodeling.

Experts who have seen the plans
for the remodeling of the opera house
say that the city will have one or the
finest little play houses in the coun-
try. We have already given brief
description of the plans as given by
those who have seen them at ST. Paul,
but the plans are now in the city and
they surpass the descriptions given.
The entrance will be through por-
tico extending from the sidewalk to
the front wall There is rise OF four
steps and then there are no more steps
to 90 up. Before entering the audi
forum person must pass through a
lobby Is feet deep by q feet wide, and
a foyer 10 feet deep and extending
clear across the building. StairwayS
lead from the lobby to the gallery and
from the foyer to the balcony. The
lobby and foyer are separated by SOL
id partition ond swinging doors, but
only curtains intervene between the
foyer and the auditorium.
At the right upon entering the lob
by is the box office with two windows.
one for the sale of gallery tickets. The
stairway to the gallery is outside OF
the box office. At the left of the lob
by is the ladies retiring room. 10 by
feet.
In the auditorium there are twelve
rows of seats in the parquet and five
rows in the parQuet circle. New
seats will be placed here and the pres
ent seats taken to the gallery.
The balcony contains six rows OF
seats and will connect with the mp
per boxes. The gallery Is rallied off
from the balcony, and the balcony
will be the most desirable place in the
house. There are nine rows of seats
in the gallery. The seating capacity
will be trifle greater than at pres
ent.
The present boxes are to be remoy-
ed and six new boxes constructed fur
ther back, two below and one above
on each side
The orchestra will be rallied off and
will enter through doorway under
the fOOtlights.
The stage Will be thirty feet wide in
front and will permit of the use OF
forty feet of scenery, which is as large
as the best companies carry. The
stage will be Al feet deep and 40 feet
high. In the rear will be eight
dressing rooms arranged in two
stories There will be rear entrances
to the stage.
The arrangement for emptying the
house in case of fire will be perfect,
and the house can be cleared in two
minutes. The front exit will be COM
posed of three pairs of foldingdoors,i in
all eighteen feet wide. There will be
two sets of folding doors on each side
as side exits. There will also be two
fire escape exits upstairs, and two ex-
it's in the rear, making eleven sets of
double doors through which people
can pass in case of necessity.
The house will be finely furnished
throughout, and the interior posts will
be taken out. 1t will be play house
of which Mankato will be proud. The
remodeling will cost SIS, 900 to $4,000.

w. w. P. McCONNE
DrygOOds, Carpets, Notions etc. Cor
of Hickory and Front Streets.

BY careful examination of the
commercial facilities of this city we
find that among its contemporaries,
the house of w. w, P. Mcconnell is
one Of the most important. The
premises are tastefully fitted up and
well appointed with all the most
modern appliances for the cOnven-
fence of patrons, and an ample num-
Der of clerks and salesladieS are en-
ployed attending to the wants of Gus
toners. This house is conducted on
thoroughly honorable, liberal and
progressive business principles. The
stock, which is extensive, complete
and elegant, comprises in part, su-
perb silks, satins, pushes, and fine
dress goods in great variety, neat
patterns in fancy ginghams, house
hold linens, hosiery, gloves, parasols,
fans, clOaks, summer wraps and ev-
erything cOmprehended in the line of
notions, also exquisite novelties in
laceS, embroideries, fOuncings. trim
mings ETC. The carpet department
which occupies a spacious room on
the second floor is deserving Of special
notice. The stock is the largest and
most diversified ever shown in the
city, both imported and domestic, of
the most unique and stylish designs
and in all grades. The extensive
trade which has been built up is due
to the intelligent manner in which
the business is conducted and patrons
can rely on getting goods as low as the
lowest and every article sold is war
ranted as represented. There is no
house in the city better qualified in
all respects and none more deserving
of universal prosperity born of implic-
it confdencein unquestioned stability.
