NORMAL NOTES.

DR.. j. H. James delivered timely
and well thought out address to the
graduating class Wednesday, on
"sight and the eye." The lecture was
illustrated by means of charts and
enriched by incidents of personal ex-
perience. 1t will certainly make
teachers more cautious and thought
full about the care of their own eyes
and the eyes of their pupils.
The catalogue of 1S94-95 is under
Roadway, and will be ready for dis
tribution before the close of school.
The correspondence and call for in
formation indicated that the coming
year is to be yet more prosperous than
the past year. Everything indicates
increased interest in the Normal
school, and the future is bright with
promise.
Preparations are being made for one
of the best commandments in the
history of the school. An excellent
baccalaureate service is provided for
and an eminent speaker will deliver
the annual address in place of the
essays and orations by the class.
A committee has been appointed for
field day and fine program is to be
prepared. Many of the students will
put themselves in training for the
contests this year, and no exercise
will be tame for want of champions.

A MAY FESTIVAL.
rlankato's Grandest Concert Will Be
Given May Sth.

The grandeSt concert MankatO
audience has ever been privileged to
listen to will be given on Monday,
May Sth, at the Mankato theatre by
the Choral society, when the oratorlo
of "The Creation" will be presented.
The chorus has been enlarged by a
number of excellent singers, and is
doing fine work in rehearsals. we be-
| lieve this is the first time a grand
oratorio has ever been given entire in
our city: but under Miss Griffin's di-
rectorship it is sure of being rendered
in a most effective and skillful man
ner. 1t was given by the st. Paul
choral last Thursday, at which Mrs.
De Wolf, who charmed Mankato peo-
ple at the rendition of "JOan Of Arc"
last February, was the leading So
prano. The choral has secured Mrs.
De Wolf to take the same part here.
Mr.. Colville, who led the bass at the
St. Paul choral, will be with us for
the bass solo work. He needs no in
PRODUCTION to Mankato people. His
work is always first-class. Mr.. Merrill,
considered the finest tenor in st.
Paul, has been secured for the tenor
solo work.
This will be the last concert given
by the Choral society this season, and
ought to be patronized by Manka-
tonians to the extent of packing the
opera house. Tickets will be placed
at very low figure, so that everybody
can go. Let everybody who loves en-
terprise and progress encourage the
promoters of this musical organiza-
tion by entering into this concert
with enthusiasm. The delightful
audience given the choral at the Feb
ruary concert encourages them to be-
lieve Mankato appreciates the efforts
they put forward to develop the must
cal taste of our citizens, and that
they can presume on crowded house
at the May festival.

In Favor of the Farmer.
Waseca Herald.

Waseca Herald.
We picked up a scrap of newspaper
in the ruins of the old log part of the
old Quirk hotel, dated at Redwing,
Feb. Is, 1875. L. A. Pool, of that
place advertised his grocery stock at
cost for thirty days. Among the
tempting offers was s pounds of coffee
A sugar for $1.00; p pounds of Rio
coffee for Sl.00; pound Japan tea for
800 and pounds of raisins for ST 90.
We presume the farmers with their
20 cent wheat and the laborers with
their Sl.25 per day waded in to avail
themselves of these cost prices. When
we compare these cut prices with the
regular prices for a better grade of
goods with so cent wheat and day
wages it is in favor of the farmer
every time.

The house was entered through one Of
The windows opening into the front par

They carried off the money but left the
purse. From the parlOr the robbers as
cended the steps and out upon the back
porch where they raised one Of the win
dows and stepped into the bed chamber.
Mr. and Mrs. Brown doubtless were
drucged. for the noise did not arouse
either Of them The burglars lit the gas
and left II burning when they went out.
All the money TO be found was stolen.
Mr. Brown had some seven or eight
dollars in the pockets of his pants and
Mrs. Brown had two fiye-dollar gold pie

The thieves were evidently out for mo-
ney only, for two watches which were
in the room were not taken. and none of
the clothing in the room was disturbed.
though all the drawers Of the bureau
were thoroughly overhauled.
When Mr. Brown arose yesterday morn
ing he felt dizzy ana he is confident that
he was drucced He Is easily awakened
and IT would have been impossible for
him to have slept whilo the thieves ope-
rated in the full light of the gas in his
room. Both windows that We're raised
Were securely fastened last night. The
catches were doubtless removed by wires.
The robbery was evidently done by eX-
perts at the business No trace has yet
been found OF the thieves.
