Hoods Sarsaparilla Calendar for
1895 is out and may beobtained at the
drug stores. 1t is one of the most
beautiful that the firm has ever issu-
ed and the edition was the largest
ever printed by any one concern, be-
ing over ten millions of copies. There
are two faces on the calendar, both of
children, representing Summer" and
winter" The design was by one of
the most gifted artists in the country,
and the colOring is most exquisite.
The calendar is not only beautiful,
but it is also useful, as it presents all
the desired information concerning
astronomical events during the year.
If your druggist does not have Hoods
Sarsaparilla Calendar it may be OBJ
tanned by sending six cents in stamps

remonStrance to Mr.. Sheldon's petit
tion contained over 300 names, or
more than the former, but that he
did not believe majority of them
were taxpayers.
DR.. Talbert said the work of the So
ciety has been a good one, and he
favored the plan of going before the
council and making fight for the
plan, failing in which other means
should be adopted to maintain the
officer.
President Andrews asked Attorney
Plymat if there was anything in the
law to prevent the council from
granting the petition if it so chose.
Mr.. PlymatSaid that the letter of the
law might interfere but the spirit of
it would not. The council had acted
contrary to the charter in the ap-
pointment of special police, a park
policeman and janitor at the city
hall, but the public so far as was
known, had approved it's action.
Speaking of the poor of the city,
Mrs. Craig said the city had contin-
ually violated it's contract with Mr..
Turtelotte, and that he had not re-
ceived any funds for the support of
his hospital from the city treasury,
as had been agreed upon when he
erected the building.
A resolution was passed to the
effect that committee consisting of
Messrs. Plymat, Rutan and Pope go
before the council tonight and ask
that the Sheldon petition be granted.
On motion J. H. James was appoint
ed physician for the society, after
which the meeting adjourned until
Monday evening.

HUDWINKLE-In Mankato. on Monday, jan
uary 7th 1895, David Hudwinkle, aged 70
years, of old age
Deceased was one of the early set
tiers of Mankato, coming here when
our little city gave no promise of good
results and when he was indeed amiss
in worldly goods. By strict integrity
only did he accumulate fortune, but
prevented him from enjoying the frui-
tion of his toll. He leaves behind him
two sons-Henry and Leo, who now
mourn the death of the kind, generous
father.

Alderman BashaW wanted to know

their dance. Mayor Weaver said the
council never rents the city hall.
''The trouble with the plumbers
was" suggested Chairman Beatty,
"that their dance was coming right
off and they didn't have time to see
anybody about it," and the face of
General Becker in Harry Browns
Autograph on the wall smiled a
CHASTITY smile.
City Clerk Brown read an eXplana-

Trustee Pitcher Says the City Is Aid

Commenting upon the fact that it
was stated at the Humane meeting
Friday night that the city was doing
nothing for Tourtellotte hospital,
Trustee Pitcher said this morning:
"The Humane society is mistaken.
The city is aiding the hospital and
everything possible is being done to
further the work. Instead of sending
the patients to the hospital as city
charges the county has been caring
for them and the expense comes out
of the city treasury"
