The Town Hall,
Editor Greenbrier Independent

Editor Greenbrier Independent
Thanks for your timely suggestions
in regard to the Town Hall. Being a
resident Of your village for some years
past, and having on various occasions
attended lectures, concerts, and other
entertainments at the Town Hall, |
have been struck with the fact that the
room is badly ventilated in summer
and scantily heated in winter, and the
audience is exposed alternately to a
frigid or torrid zone. When DR.. LAT
ferty last lectured here several persons
left the hall within ten minutes after
buying their tickets on account of the
cold. Many are kept away and all sui
fer from sitting in a stone-cold hail.
Further Investigation shows that the
stage is almost destitute of what is
called stage property, insufflciently
lighted, and that the basement dress.
ing-room is in filthy condition. An.
other grievance-the piano bought fol-
the use of the hall is not kept there
and frequently fails to be sent around
at the proper time. The janltor IS con.
spicuously absent and the manager 8
little too keen for the rent considering
the accommodations he affords. Two
stoves placed in the lower end of the
hall, hanging lamp for the stage, and
carpet under foot, would add very
much to it's comfort. OBSERVER.
I'VE beg leave to add to what "Ob
server" says that we have heard much
complaint of the heavy charge made
for the use of the piano at the hal
which many think exorbitant consider
ing the fact that it was paid for by tn,
public with the understanding that il
would be kept in the hall as a part o.
It's equipment and for the accommoda
ton of the public. Under the circum
stances we think the ladies having tn,
piano in charge would do we'll to re
duce the charge for its use at least one
half Surely this would yield enough
money to keep it in repair.

FIFTH WARD REGISTRATION.
There is No Need to Divide the
Ward.

The total registration of the Fifth
ward is 5l4. Considerable speculation
has been INDUCED in regarding the di-
vision of the ward, and to correct any
false impression, we will quote from
the general election law, chapter 4,
section 2:
mo election district in any incor-
porated city or village shall contain
more than 400 voters, and whenever
any such election district is found by
the number of votes there cast at any
election to contain more than 400 VOt-
ers, it shall be the duty OF the super
viSOrS of the town, or the common
council, village, burough or municipal
corporation of the city or village, to
cause such district, at least six weeks
before the next ensuing general, town
or city election, to be divided into two
or more districts, each containing,
as nearly as may be, an equal number
of voters"
On governor last fall 402 votes were
cast. The registration cuts no figure,
but under the strict letter of the law
the council should have divided the
ward into two voting precincts, but
the time for doing this has now
passed. 1t is doubtful whether 400
votes will be cast in the ward this
spring, so .nthat the matter may be
taken out of the hands of the council,
and there will be no occasion for di-
vision of the ward, as this springs
election will then have become the
'1ast" election. In any event, the
number of wards would not be in
creased, or the number of aldermen
only the number of voting places.

VERDICT FOR SIS.
This is the Amount the Jury Allows
J. Mullen.

The jury in the case of James Null
len VS.. Timothy Murtaugh reached
an agreement by five o'clock Tues
day afternoon, and returned sealed
verdict, which was opened at nine
o'clock this morning The verdict was
for S75 and costs to be paid by the de-
PENDANT. At the request. of the de-
PENDANT stay of thirty days was TAX
en-.
Some of the jury are said to have
desired to find a verdict for the de-
fendant while one wanted to give
the plaintiff $1,000. The verdict was
compromise.
Mr.. Murtaugh admitted during the
trial having called Mr.. Mullen the
names set forth in the six charges of
the complaint, and attempted to
prove Justification, with what success
is shown by the verdict. The defense
looks upon the verdict as victory
for them, under the circumstances,
while all sides seem to be pretty well
satisfied and the case is not likely to
go farther.
The suit of Miss Jennette S. Heath
to recover $1,000 damages from the
CITY of Mankato was taken ups this
morning before Judge Caldwell, and
the following jury was secured: Paul
Olson, Thos. McGary, Lewis Pitcher,
A. G. Barney, G. W. Thayer, Frank
Skuse, A. T. Noble, D. G. Evans, e.
r. Kennedy, III. L. Wadill, A. Murphy
and e. A. Cooper.
A special venire for eight jurors was
issued when the regular panel was
exhausted, and the last five names
were secured from this.
Miss Heath and L. D. Saylor were
sworn for the plaintiff.
The city officials state that if Miss
Heath should be successful, any num-
Der of suits against the city would be
likely to spring up, based on tripping
over nails sticking up from sidewalks.
No matter how careful the inspector
may be, these nails will be found oc-
cassionally. The present case will oc-
cupy all of tomorrow.

THE VETS WIN.
Lake Crystal Votes License by Six
Majority.

Lake Crystal had a closely contest
ed election Tuesday with two
tickets in the field and the question
of license to be voted upon. A hard
fight was made on the question of
license, and this was carried by six
majority. The village has voted
license for several years and again
preferred to have licensed saloons to
blind pigs with the consequent repu-
tation that they would fasten on the
town. The vote was closer than had
been expected, 124 for, to 1lS against.
The ticket headed ''Citizens
Ticket" was the successful one, every
candidate upon it save constable be-
ing elected. The candidates elected
are the following:
President-R. G. Roberts.
Trustees-E. G. Hamlin, 0. W. Will
liams, Henry Olson, w. r.. Robinson.
Village Recorder. w. Lewis.
ASsessor-W. III. Cole.

DemOrest Contest.

The DemOreSt silver medal contest,
as was previously announced, took
place at the Spring Island school house
on the evening of the Goth of March.
There were six speakers who took
part in the program. The entire ex-
erciseS were rendered in an admirable
manner. Especial mention should be
made of the Spring Island orchestra
which enlivened the occasion by rem
dering many OF their fine selections of
music. The judges chosen to decide
upon the merits of the speakers were,
Mrs. Williams, Mrs. Dornberg and
Mr.. Nelson.
The following are the names of the
speakers and the titles of their reci-
tations respectively
Gilman Buck, "My Pledge"
OJesse Morton, 1.-Two Pictures" from
life.
Clarence Kerns, "Who is to blame -
Jay KernS, ARREST alcohol and lib
crate man."
Frank Kerns, "The cry of today"
Edwin Youngs, "What license legal
iZes?"
The decision of the judges was in
favor of Jay KernS, who received a
percentage of 43 on the scale of so,
and who twas therefore awarded the
silver medal, and thus closed the eX-
erciSeS.
Arrangements are already being
made to hold another contest on the
evening of the Goth OF April, and all
are invited to attend.

COMMISSIONERS FAVORABLE.
They Will Improve the rlatthew.
Hill Road

E<Odu.
The county board will consider the
improvement of the Matthews hill
road at the meeting in May, and from
one of the commissioners we learn that
the matter was talked over Tues
day afternoon and it was agreed that
something would be done. All agreed
upon the improving of the sand road
beyond Matthews hill as far as it shall
be necessary, but the plan to be fol-
lowed in grading the hill has not been
determined upon. 1t will either be
cut down so as to make an easy grade,
or new road run up the hill parallel
with the present one.
How to improve the sand road is a
question that is bothering the COM
missioners, and it IS indeed problem.
Probably some kind of matchmaking
or grading will be done, as plenty OF
gravel can be had at Pidgeon hill or
on the Blue Earth river bank. Per-
haps some different plan may be sug-
gested before the next meeting.
The board will hold meeting next
week, probably, to settle up the jail
contract, as Mayer Bros, have now
nearly completed their contract.

ClTY'S HEALTH GOOD.

Health Officer Jacoby states that
there has not been case of diph-

that there is now only one case OF
scarlet fever This is an excellent re-

influenza there has been.
The most of the city officials have
been or are now suffering from severe
colds with symptoms of influenza, and
and the same is true of many of the
business men.

Indicate as surely as any physical
symptom shows anything, that the or
gans and tissues of the body are not
satisfied with their nourishment.
They draw their sustenance from
the blood, and if the blood is thin, inn
pure or insufficient, they are ina state
of revolt. Their complaints are made
to the brain, the king of the body,
through the nervous system, and the
result of the general dissatisfaction is
what we call Nervousness.
This is a concise, reasonable eXpla-
nation of the whole matter.
The cure for Nervousness, then, is
simple. Purify and enrich your blood
by taking Hoods Sarsaparilla, and the
nerves, tissues and organs will have
the healthful nourishment they crave.
Nervousness and Weakness will then
give way to strength and health.
That this is not theory but fact is
proven by the voluntary statements of
thousands cured by Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla. Read the next column.

says the Minneapolis Journal, customs
receipts in New York were 1868, 148,
about 100000 in excess of receipts
for the same period last year and the
proportion of gold received for GUS
tom dues was 81 per cent, as compar-
ed with 81 per cent.in the correspond

ed improvement. But the new tariff
