was at Mankato last, week. In his last
paper he says: "On Wednesday of
4 last week the Commercial Club of
Mankato entertained the Minnesota
editors, and right royal entertain
ment it was. About sixt y of the live

1 Senator Kyle Of South Dakota
was here this week, looking after his
farming interest in this section. The
Senator does not believe there will be
) an extra session of congress, can see
, no demand for it. Speaking of sill

The baggage masters of the rail
roads have decided that bicycles and
babies are luxuries. A new order
has just gone into effect, says an ex-
change, whereby all bicycles and
baby cabs will have to be paid for on
railway trains on the same basis as 81
pounds of express baggage. The
minimum charge will be % cents, nc
