SUNDAYS EXCURSION.
Fifty Mankatoites Join the Trip to
Clear Lake

The excursion trip to Clear Lake,
Iowa, yesterday, was patronized by
nearly as many people as the previous
excursion, and all report having had a
fine time. Fifty persons started from
this city and by the time the train
reached Clear Lake it consisted Of
fourteen coaches carrying 600 people.
Cars were picked up along the way as
needed. The train started at 100 a..
m. and returned to the city at mid
night. More ladies joined this eXcur-
sion than the previous one, doubtless
owing to the fine musical program ar
ranged at Clear Lake. That program
is spoken of in the highest terms by
all present.
Agent Moore accompanied the eX-
cursion and neither he nor Excursion
Agent Walker left anything uudone
that would minister to the comfort
or pleasure of the party.
The next excursion which starts
from this city will be Sunday, Sept.
1st, when Col. Robt. G.. Ingersoll will
lecture on Abraham Lincoln, at Clear
Lake Park in the main exhibition tent
of Ringing Bros circus, which will
spend that Sunday at Mason City.
This excursion train will 60 through
with only necessary stops after leav-
ing Wells, which will enable it to
leave at 1880 a. m. and give the usual
length of time at it's destination. q
The musical program at Clear Lake
Park will continue until Aug. 18th,
and until then round trip tickets from
this city, good for thirty days, will be
sold for 1925.

West r1ankato r1ainS.

Aid. Lille stated that the West
Mankato water mains had been Or
dered, but the mayor had stopped
work. The latter now withdraws OBJ
lection, and he wanted to know how
the matter stood.
Mayor Weaver stated that he had
stopped work to see how the finances
stood. This is now known and the
next levy made, and the council can
do as it pleases.
Aid. Lille moved that the board of
public works proceed to lay the pipe,
as ordered by the council.
Aid. Andrews urged the council to
be cautious, as the extension will cost
so much. There is Sll4.25 to the
credit Of the water fund, and about
$4,000 is to be received in rentals dur
ing the year. The water works fund
would have to be overdrawn to do the
work. Wells can be put down in
West Mankato or Agency Hill 300 to
400 feet for 1914 each. There must be
a wind mill in connection. 1t is nom
sensical and impractical to advocate
people uniting and putting down a
well or getting wind mill. He put
himself on record as favoring extend
ing the mains to Agency Hill and
West Mankato before the councils
time is out. He moved as an amend
ment that special order be made for
West Mankato at the next meeting,
to which the people be invited to come
and define their position, as some
talk one way to one alderman and
another way to another.
Aid. Bradley said that this matter
came up before election and was a
mere hobby and spoke to the wheel.

JOHN BESTMAN SURPRISED.
Aurora Rebekaf1s Spend Pleasant
Sunday.

A party of seventy-five from this
city, including the members Of Aurora
Rebekah lodge No. SO and their hus-
bands and friends drove out to John
Bestman's farm yesterday morning
and surprised that gentleman and his
worthy wife. The first teams arrived
just as Mr.. Bestman was hitching up
to 60 off for the day. Besides the
Mankato people, fifty from ST. Clair
and vicinity came in upon Mr.. and
Mrs. Bestman, who extended a cordial
welcome to all. Everybody had
brought eatables, and at noon the
tables were spread with an elaborate
variety of good things, and were filled
four times before everybody was salts
fed. The supper was spread in the
grove. During the day musical num-
bers were presented, the fine farm was
looked over, and everybody had a
splendid time. The drive home by
moonlight was not the least enjoyable
part Of the trip.
The party left the city in wagon
cites at about 900 a. m. and returned
about 900 p. m.

The Result of Not Advertising.

The Boston Traveller says that few
weeks ago Maine young man bought a
pair Of socks containing a note saying
the writer was an employee Of the Ken
osha wis. knitting works and wanted
a good husband. She gave her name and
requested me buyer, if an unmarried
man, to write with view to matri-
mony.
The young man who found the note
considered the matter in all its phases
and decided to write to the girl He
did. Awaiting the answer with consid-
cradle anxiety, he was at last rewarded
with a curt letter stating that the girl
was now the mother of two children
and had been married four years, and
the letter he had answered had been
written ever so long ago.
1t was "sock dollager, and the
young man hunted for solution. He
found it. The merchant of whom he
bought the socks doesn't advertise.

All Of the aldermen were present al
the regular meeting of the council
Saturday night, and Mayor Weaver
presided
The first business was an applica'
tion from Joe orlando asking the coun'
Gil to fix time and place for hear
ing to have his license restored.
An application for liquor license
was received from The Saulpaugh, and
Aug. Goth was set as the day for a
hearing.
At the request of the street COM
mitJee a recess was taken, and in
about twenty minutes the committee
returned and asked for further time
to report upon the petition of M. G.
Willard and J. n. Hall in regard to
Prospect Heights.
Aid. Andrews reported favorably for
the committee upon petition of a
year ago for the curbing and gutter
ing of Front street from Elm to
Liberty streets.
1t developed that the other mem
bers Of the committee didn't know
about the petition, as it had never
been referred TO the committee, haV-
ing been presented uto the previous
council.
Aid. Andrews made the point that
the petition for laying water mains
into West Mankato was improperly
acted upon by this council for the
same reason, but it was stated that
that petition was duly referred to the
water works committee.
Aid. Zimmerman moved that the
petition for guttering and curbing
Front street be referred to the street
committee.
The question of rip-rapping to grade
caused lengthy discussion.
Aid. Peterson said that he was in
favor of improving Front street, but
wanted it done in a thorough manner.
The motion was carried, only Aid.
Peterson voting "no."
The ordinance committee reported
favorably upon the 'curfeW ordi-
nance" and on motion of Aid. An
drews it was given it's first reading.
J. G. Fowler stated that he had
looked it up and the present contract
for city printing expires Aug. 18th.
Aid. Andrews moved that he be
permitted to present an ordinance.
This had no second, but the mayor
put it and only Aid. Andrews voted
"yes." Then the matter was eX-
planned further and was carried by a
unanimous vote.
The ordinance proved to be one re-
lating to the construction, relaying
and condemnation of sidewalks. 1t
was referred to the committee on or
dinances.

The best advice to give the woman
who is travelling is that she must not
be in hurry. Hurrying will tire her
out before she starts, will make her
face red and upset her nerves. Let
her arrange as to time, know exactly
how much she has, and study the art
of reaching her train punctually,
which does not mean an hour too soon
or three minutes too late, but just
ahead Of the hour set. II is her duty
to look well. but not to be over.

her the belongings she may require,
