CHANGE OF FIRM.
1t is Now Rosenberger s Currier,
Candy Manufacturers.

J. G. Mobiles Thursday sold his in
terest in the candy factory of Rosen'
berger & Mobiles to Hon. +. M. Cur.
rier, of this city, and the firm name
is now Rosenberger & Currier. Mr..
Mobiles withdrew from the firm on ac-
count of his expected removal to Cali,
fornia, necessitated by his wife s
health. He expects to remove in
about two weeks.
The factory has been in operation
about three years and has had an ex-
cellent business, despite the fact that
they were years of depression. The
output of the factory has an estab-
lished reputation, and the future ap-
pears bright. The new firm will be a
strong one. Mr.. Currier will have
charge of the firms business depart
ment, while Mr.. RosenbeTger will
manage the mandatory department
as in the past.
Our citizens will be sorry to lose
Mr.. and Mrs. Mobiles, and the best
wishes of all will follow them to their
new home.

NORMAL NOTES.

During the session of the Presby-
terry theNormal has entertained many
distinguished visitors. AS many of
those in attendance had sons and
daughters in the school, they took a
friendly interest in the institution
and all connected with it.
Supt. Boston, of Watonwan county,
who was a teacher in the Normal
the year it opened, gave an interest
Ing sketch of the city and school at
the time.
Hearty applause greeted the ap-
pearance of Congressman McCleary
in assembly hall, and continued until
he had taken his old place on the
rostrum. In presenting him to the
school, Pres. Soaring said: "The next
gentleman who will speak is one
whom we love, not so much because
he is a model congressman, as because
he looks so much like our old friend,
Professor McCleary." Our congress-
mans remarks, though brief. were very
suggestive and contained thoughts
that will long be remembered by the
school.
The foot ball team can be seen
every afternoon on the campus pre-
pairing themselves on the matches
later, on the gridiron. They make a
pretty appearance in their new
white uniforms, and seem determin-
ed to wear them with honor to them
selves and the school.

FAVORS THE IDEA.
An Electric Line to ST. Peter Would
Pay.

The ST. Peter Herald has the follow
favorable comment on the suggestion
of an electric railway to St. Peter:
"The Mankato FREE PRESS has
suggested the advisability of con-
structing an electric railway from St.
Peter to Mankato and the idea seems
to have caught on with more or less
success with capitalists of that city.
The idea is to run it in connection
with the electric light plant. That
such line would afford a profitable
revenue, in time, is conclusion easily
reached. And ultimately there will
not only be such a line from Mankato
to St. Peter but it will extend to the
cities and connect all the smaller
towns intermediate. If Mankato
will build the line we will promise to
ride upon it,"

FIFTY CARTWHEELS.
What it Cost Jacob Effer to Throw
Over a Contract.

Jacob Effer was the lowest bidder
on the Thompson's ravine culvert a
month or so ago, and the time for it
to be completed having expired, the
county board gave the matter consid-
Grafton Fridayaforenoon. The next
highest bidder was Thos. Dunlevy, at
S345, figure nearly 800 higher than
Mr.. Effers bid. Mr.. Effer stated that
he had the Matthews hill contract
and could not do both, but would do
either one the board wished. A pro-
position was made to him to release
him from his culyert contract for $50
cash, to be paid to the county. Mr..
Effer agreed to do this, and the con-
tract was awarded to Mr.. Dunlevy.
Engineer j. r. Thompson presented
reports on the Sterling culvert and
the South Bend road contracts that
they had been satisfactorily per-
formed, and the board allowed the
contract prices. These pieces of work
are the ones unfavorably reported up
on by County Surveyor Haynes, whose
reports did not have weight with the
commissioners in reaching decision.
1t was voted to appropriate 5000
toward a culvert in Jamestown near
Madison Lake.
Thurs day the board was asked by
individual citizens to make an appro-
priation to cut down the top of Guen-
ther hill and fill in below, to lessen
the grade. This morning Com. Rob-
erts moved that $500 be appropriated
to do the work under the supervision
of M. B. Haynes and a COM
mittee of two commissioners.
This was laid aside without
action, the board thinking that
the matter ought to come before it in
a more formal way,as from the street
committee of the council. When
this is done, it will probably receive
favorable consideration.
The board went to the poor farm
Friday to inspect a new well
which has been put down there, and
on it's return will adjourn.

IMPORTANT IMPROVEMENT.

The use of the new cement walk is
extending rapidly, and it is now to be
placed in front of the Model Clothing
House, ]. J. Gould's saloon, H. l. Par
RVS drug store, L. Janda'S shoe store,
G. D. Taylor's jewelry store and Pond
81 Jorgenson's clothing store. This
will fill out the block, the walks in
front of every lot except one being of
the cement. These walks are cheaper
than the stone walks and are guaran-
teed to stand the effects of frost.
The only danger of chipping is from
horse weights being thrown upon the
edges, and an ordinance should be
passed requiring these to be thrown
into the cutters.

A PROPOSITION MADE.


County Surveyor A. NJ. Haynes APP
peared before the ,countyboard Friday
morning and made proposition that
whatever decision Judge Shissler
makes in their suit both parties abide
by it until after a higher court passes
upon it. His idea was to avoid fur
ther trouble, for if Judge Shissler
found in favor of the board he would
withdraw and practically resign as
surveyor, and if the decision was in
his favor then J. r. Thompson should
step out of the way and leave the
work to Mr.. Haynes. The board took
no action on this, preferring to await
the decision.

Regarding the mysterious disap-
pearance of the potato bugs from
Minnesota this year, Prof. Lugger ex-
plains that the mystery is not so
great when one stops to think. Last
year, he says, the potato bugs starved
to death. The weather was so dry
that there was no potato crop to
amount to anything, and the potato
bug, having life only for one season,
ended his generation in Minnesota
last year. He will not become pest
here again for several years, Prof
Lugger says.
