REFUSE TO ACT.
Belgrade Town Board Instructed Not
to Repair the Bridge.

to Repair the Bridge.
We published the other day copy
of letter sent out by City Engineer
Haynes to the board of supervisors of
Belgrade township, asking that they
repair the west span of the Minnesota
river bridge, as the city had been to
arge expense in keeping the bridge in
repair in the past, and it was no more
than fair that Belgrade care for at
least one span of the bridge if the
city cared for the others. The follow
ing letter has been received in reply,
and will be presented to the council
tonight
To the Honorable City Council Of the City
of MdnkdtO:
GENTLEMEN:-Yo Your communication
in regard to the Minnesota river
bridge was received and properly
brought before the voters of Belgrade
township at the town caucus held
March 9th. Not less than 100 voters
were present. Communicating was
read and considered, but all discus
sions were to this point: When the
town issued the bonds they were care
full to have them worded that amount
raised to aid the building OF the
bridge was donation, thereby assum-
ing no responsibility, and that the
towns of Nicollet and Oshawa receive
some benefit, and should bear part of
the burden. 1t was then moved and
unanimously carried that the town
take no action in the matter. though
fully approaching the benefit derived
from said bridge by good portion of
Nicollet county. Would advise you to
bring the matter before the commits
sioners of this county as soon as
possible.
At the annual town meeting on
March 18th the question was brought
up again in a legal form. After a
lengthy discussion, the following resO-
luton was offered and unanimously
adopted:
Be it resolved, That the town board
of the Town of Belgrade be, and
hereby are, instructed TO take no ac-
tion in regard to the keeping of the
north end of the Minnesota river
bridge at MankatO in repair.
w. HODAPP,
Chairman Town Board.
Belgrade, March 18th, 1895.
The action of the Belgrade voters
was not what was expected, and
seems hardly fair, in the face of what
the city has done in the past, and the
great benefit which the bridge has
been to Belgrade. This action is
likely to bring forward the proposed
pontoon bridge, further west than the
present bridge. What action the
council will take in reference to re-
pairing the bridge is problematical.

ST. PATRICK'S ENTERTAINMENT

The entertainment given at st.
Johns Catholic church Saturday night
in observance of ST. Patrick's day was
great success, About 500 was
cleared at the supper and entertain
ment. So many more people were
present than were expected that the
supper lasted until $3.50 O'Clock, or an
hour later than the scheduled time
This brought the musical and literary
part of the program that much later
and it was not completed until mid
night. The program was followed as
published, except that Miss Esther
Grannis rendered the solo that was tC
have been given by Mrs w. G.. Hoerr.
All of the numbers on the program
were excellently rendered. Rev.
Father Prior gave an interesting talk
on St. Patrick. The farce, "Box of
Monkeys" was very laughable part
of the program.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
intiamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infiamed you have rumbl-
ing sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, deafness is
the result, and unless the infiamma-
tion can be taken out and this tube
restored to it's normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circu-
lars; free.

LACKED 22 POINTS.
The TIankato Crescents Failed to Par
aIyse the st. Paul Stars.

An audience composed of hundred
or more interested spectators crowded
Dominick Oster's bowling alley Sat-
urday night, to witness the return
game between the ST. Paul Stars and
the Mankato Crescents. Tom Foley,
the leader of the st. Paul team, was
present, but did not take part in the
game. Tubbesing, the champion
player in St. Paul, was with the Stars,
and was the smallest man, physically,
in the team; on either side, for that
matter.
The game was called at nine o'clock,
after some preliminary practice, and
each team numbered nine. Otto
Mann introduced the players, and as
each pair stepped to the front they
shook hands with good will. At the
close of the first half of the game the
Mankato boys were ahead. having 92C
points to S24 for the opponents. But
the last half was disasterous for the
Mankato team, and the game resulted
in favor of the Stars, the latter secur.
ing 1854 points to 1852 for the Ores
cents. The game was well contested
throughout, and the best of feeling
prevailed. At its conclusion each club
cheered the other, and then the clubs
united in singing songs.
The total individual scores were as
follows:
Mankato Crescents-B. BangerteI
