ANENT THE MILWAUKEE PROPO=
SITION.

In consideration of the petition pre-
sented to the council Saturday night
by the Milwaukee road, asking per-
mission to lay side track back of The
Saulpaugh, the contents OF the deed
to the levee property, transferring it
from Willard & Barney to the city,
will be of interest. The deed was
made out April 9Th, 1875. The deed
contains the following:
Lands decided, all lying opposite
blocks IA and Is and distant 130 feet
from Front street.
"Whereas, it may, be necessary in
the future for the city to lay out a
street between said Willard Il Bar
news Exchange and the river, and
from Mulberry and Walnut streets to
the Minnesota river, and SAID city may
desire to authorize one or more rail-
roads to be located laid and built
upon said premises,
"NOw, therefore, the said parties of
the first part, in consideration OF the
above premises and the sum of one
dollar to them paid by the second
party, do grant, assign and quit claim
to the said second party the right and
privilege of laying out and occupying
a public street running parallel with
Front street through and upon said
and lying be tween Willard q Barney's
Exchange and the river.
Provided, however, said street
shall run along the line OF said plated
grounds unless it shall be so arranged
that the lots so plated in the said
Willard & Barney's Exchange shall be
extended greater length towards the
river than the 100 feet as now plated,
in which or any event said street shall
run along and adjacent to the line OF
said lots or addition thereto and be-
tween said lots and the river and no
part of said street to be laid out upon
said lots so plated. The width of
said street and time for it's laying out
shall be left entirely to said city to
fix. Granting to said city the right to
extend Mulberry, Main and Walnut
streets to the river.
"And said city of MankatO shall
have the privilege to authorize one or
more railroads to be laid out, built
and operated upon and across said city
premises between said street and the
river. But in no case shall the city
authorize any railroad to be laid upon
said grounds so that any portion of
the track shall be nearer than seventy
feet distant from said plated ground
and being 200 feet distant from said
westerly line of Front street, nor Oc-
cupy any portion of said grounds
nearer than sixty feet distant from
said plated grounds, and the. city is
hereby forever released from the pay
ment of any damage to said parties of
the first part for the right of way and
privilege here granted"
This deed appears on page $50, book
of deeds.
The city has never laid out the street,
but it has it's own timeto do so. By this
deed, no road can put down any track
nearer than seventy feet from the
plated ground. The Saulpaugh runs
to the rear of the plated ground, so it
will be seen that the privilege the
road asks for cannot be granted.

THE COUNTY TICKET.

Tie Republican party presents a.
county ticket to the voters this year
OF which it is proud. So strong and
admirable a ticket in every way has
seldom been presented to the voters of
thls or any other county. The people
OF the county, we take it, would pre-
Ter TO have the best men who will ac-
cept office placed in the various offices
IN the court house. 1t is desirable
That the offices be held by men upon
whose record there is no stain. and
whose character is above reproacb.
Wnlle at the same time competence TO
Ill the offices is one of the indispensi-
BILE considerations.
Inc candidates on the Republican
ticket fulfill all these requirements
and more. They are all gentlemenly
ana obllglng, some of them tried in
thelr positions and found faithful and
Woodworking. The ticket as a whole
is one which should commend itself to
all voters and taxpayers without re-
gard'to politics, and is one which eyery
Republican should support. In this
connection we would urge the Repub-
llcans to vote the straight ticket. All
Ghe nominees are working for the
party and it's ticket, and it is not
right to scratch any name, as the in
justice of such an action must be ap-
parent.
L. "A. Gunders for auditor is gaining
friends every day, as his acquaint-
ance extends and his good qualities
become known. Peter Lloyd for treas
urer is making winning fight, as his
record in the office satisfies the peo-
pie. The same is true of Oscar Bier
bauer for register of deeds. G. L.
Benedict for county attorney is in the
brunt of the battle, but his penant is
advancing into the enemy's hosts.
Geo. w. Mead for probate judge is
gaming strength daily and his
chances are among the best. D. II.
Bowen is proving a splendid cam
palgner and is practically certain to
take up his residence in the new jail
building as sheriff. Geo. w. Scherer
for county superintendent is "out of
sight" so far is he in the lead. A. M.
Haynes for surveyor and Z. Paddock
for coroner are setting a fast pace for
their opponents. Robt. Roberts will
make a No. l commissioner from Man.
kato on the next county board, and
A. M. Hannay will succeed himself in
the fourth district.
There never was a time when the
outlook was more favorable for the
Republican ticket as a whole than it
is today. The enemy are on the run,
and new converts are joining the Re-
publican ranks from the Democracy
every day. When the votes are counted
there will be some surprised people in
this county.

CITIZENS FIRE ASSOCIATION
The Officers Elected and the ASSOcia=
ton Launched With Every
Prospect of Success.

The first meeting of the directors
of the Citizens Fire Association was
held at the office of the association
last evening, DIR. Andrews being
elected chairman and X. Kneutson
secretary of the meeting. Those
present were j. w. Andrews, l.. P.
Hunt, A. G. Meyer, III. b. Perrin,
Anton j. Busch, Geo. E. Brett, John
Klein and Isidor Longini.
The following officers were chosen,
after it had been reported that it was
the opinion Of the attorney general
that the charter of the association
rests on proper legal basis:
President, John A. Willard.
Vice President, H. B. Perrin.
Secretary, X. Kneutson.
Treasurer, l.. A. Under.
Board of Audit, l.. 2. Hunt, Geo. Il.
Brett, H. B. Perrin.
The secretary was intruSted with
the usual duties of manager.
This organization has recently been
chartered by the state OF Minnesota
and empowered to do a general lire
insurance business. The incOrpora-
tors and directors are John A. Will
lard, Anton j. Busch, Geo. E. Brett,
John Klein, Isidor Longini, A. G.
Meyer, II. B. Perrin, L. p. Hunt and
j. w. Andrews.
This robust institution lis the out
growth of nearly year of earnest
work on the part of Mr.. Kneutson to
secure for the smaller cities and towns
in the northwest rate OF lire lnsur-
ance based on the fires occurring in the
smaller municipalities, excluding the
metropolitan cities.
While the stock fire insurance COM
panieS combine for purposes best
known to themselves, they have been
unreasonably slow to recognize
combined movement on the part OF
the property owners who have organ
lied for the purpose of suppressing in
cendiarism and preventing the un-
scrupulous fire bugs from securing in
Surance and in every possible way
working to reduce the fire waste.
This is on the line of corrective
measures which the stock companies
have always claimed the public must
lead in before lower rates and better
practice in fire insurance can prevail,
and when the public asked for con-
Sideration on the line of lowering
rates a majority of the companies
turned deaf ear.
Out of these conditions the incor-
poration above referred to has sprung
into existence and is already on so
firm a financial basis as to claim the
confidence of any property owner who
will carefullyand in an unbiased man
ner look into the merits of this plan
of fire insurance and the present
status of the business of this organiza-
ton.
All financierS and business men in
general will appreciate having all the
cash for premiums remain deposited
in their local banks until needed for
losses and expenses, the latter item
being limited to about II per cent less
than the stock companies devote to
expenses, All profits are equltably
divided among policy holders.
We bespeak for this very vigorous
and robust child of MankatO an honor
able and profitable career of which
every citizen, not only of this city,
but of the state at large, will be proud.

CHANGE OF OWNER SHIP

Z Negotiations were closed today
whereby Geo. w. Thoms became half
owner of the Christensen corner, at
Front and Jackson streets. He has
purchased half interest of Isidor
Longini, paying therefor $4,000. 1t is
the intention of these gentlemen to
erect "a handsome business block on
the property next spring. What the
nature of the building will be we are
unable to learn, but that it will be a
fine block goes without saying, as
both gentlemen have ample means
and excellent taste. The location is
one of the best to be found in the city
for business purposes.
