G. E. JOHNSON, Agt.
Officers Schiman and Schuette
found seventeen tramps at the Omaha
depot last night. Five of them ran
away and escaped when the officers
appeared. The other twelve were
marched to the city hall and were
searched. Seven produced small sums
of money, but the other five had
nothing and were locked up over
night. They found the cages hot
place and it is safe to say that they
will keep clear of the city for awhile.
Tramps are becoming numerous, and
a city stone pile should be provided
for them.
Following are the officers install
ed by Mankato Lodge No Is, 1. o. o.

Mrs. Justina Kranebach died at
two o'clock Wednesday at the resi-
dence of her daughter, Mrs. VIM.
Meyer. She was large woman, 40
years of age, and died of menopouse.
She lived in Hanover. Kansas, and
Mr.. and Mrs. Meyer will accompany
the remains there for burial, and will
take up their residence there. A few
nights ago the police found Mrs.
Kranebach going down to the river
bank with the supposed purpose OF
drowning herself.
Victor Johnson's right ankle joint
was broken yesterday while he was
working in Fowler & Pays stone
quarry at Bradley's crossing. He was
assisting in loading stone on a car
when one of the stones slipped toward
him, he jumped, but the stone caught
his ankle. He is apt to have stiff
Joint. DR.. Webster has the case.
John Jorgensen ran into G. L.
Benediyt's buggy on Front street last
night as the latter was turning across
the street into Jackson street. The
bicycle ran between the two wheels OF
the buggy under the carriage and was
run over and badly used up. The
rider was considerably scratched.
Joseph Bookwalter. of Great Falls,
Mont, who is in the city to look after
a law suit in which he is engaged,
states that all the silver mines in
Montana are shut down. He says
that if the Sherman silver bill is re-
pealed Montana will year from now
contain $4,000 less population than it
does today. Other western states not
so favorably situated as regards stock
raising, will suffer still more. He lays
the present stringency to the un-
certainty caused by the present adj
and by it's hostility to
silver. He says that if an election
was to be held today the Democrats
would not know that they were in it.
The work on the opera house is
going ahead very satisfactorily. The
roof is nearly completed and the brick
and stone work is entirely done. The
foundation for the stage is being put
in. The iron work at the front en-
trance is in and vastly strengthens
the entire front. 1t is heavy enough
to support building of several times
the size of the opera house. The
Mankato Iron Works has furnished all
the castings for the building, includ-
ing two beams and eight columns,
and the iron work in the truss. The
front entrance will be supported by
two iron columns with fancy tops. 1t
can be readily seen that the building
will be much stronger than it ever
was.
Deserving Praise.
