The gentleman who proposed to
organize company to manufacture
boots and shoes, arrived in the city
Wednesday and left in the afternoon.
He held a consultation with the Board
of Trade committee, but nothing def
mite resulted. Very little additional
information than that which we have
heretofore published was obtained
from him, but he did not seem to be as
enthusiastic over the project as on his
first visit.
The music for the Choral society
has arrived. Let every member and
those expecting to become members
be present at rehearsal at Normal
school next Monday night at o'clock.
Over one hundred were present at
last rehearsal. Everything opens up
most favorably. Now is the time to
join SO as to be ready for the May fes-
tival.

blocks from postoffice, can be purchas-

Spring could hardly have been
ushered in with pleasanter day than
this has been. The suns rays now
have heat that the snow and ice
cannot resist, and the water began to
run early in the day. The streets and
crosswalks are very sloppy.
The Atchison road has made a
slash of $50 on all through rates to the
Pacific coast on first class tickets
with sixty day final return trip
limited. Agent Burdick expects a
notification tomorrow, as the rate
goes into effect March 1st. At present
these tickets sell here at S5005, and
if the reduction applies in MankatO,
as it is believed it does, the rate to
California points will be only S20.O5,
and round trip rates but little more.
If this proves to be so, it will be a
good opportunity for those anxious to
see the Golden State.

tor of the Welsh church and arrived
in the city Saturday, occupying the
pulpit Sunday for the first time. He
is bright and enthusiastic preacher.
Hon. Gilbert GuttersOn was in the
city few hours today on business. A
strong pressure is being brought to
bear upon Mr.. Gutterson to allow his
name to come before the next Repub-
lican county convention for the office
of county auditor, but up to date he
declined to indicate his wishes in the
matter. Mr.. GutterSOn would make
a splendid officer, and that he could
get the nomination if he desired his
friends feel entirely sanguine. There
would be no question about his success
at the polls.

Mr.. John c.. Noe, who has Just re-
turned from a business trip to New
York, states that he found even a
greater financial depression there than
in the west. 1t is impossible to obtain
money for loaning purposes in the
west, as the eastern capitalists are
afraid to make investments on account
of losses sustained by the Minneapolis
and Sioux City failures. There is a
suspicion of the west also on account of
farm mortgages in Kansas being fore
closed for non-payment. The money
in the eastern banks seems to be that

TOO MUCH QUICK SAND.

The county board held a special
m e;ing Mo. .yafta rnoon to CONF ider
a matter connected with proposed
bridge across the Maple river in the
town of Lyra, six miles south of Good
Thunder. Work was begun on the
east bank, eXcavating for the founda-
tiOn Of the abutments. When three
feet Of earth had been removed hard
pan was encountered, and it was
thought that this would make fine
foundation to rest the stone walls up
on. The wOrkingmen began to build
on the hard pan when suddenly the
weight OF the stones caused the hard
pan to give away and the mason
ry fell through. Investigation show
ed that bottomless bed Of Quik sand
and water lay underneath. Steam
pumps were used, but the water could
not be lowered. County Surveyor
Thompson said that the onlyway that
a foundation for the masonry can be
secured is by driving down piles. The
matter was referred to the county
