SOrlE ELECTION INCIDENTS.
The Expense to the City Will Be
About $1,000.

The expense of the election to the
city of Mankato will be about 81, 900, so
City Recorder Brown estimates. The
judges and clerks received rs cents an
hour for actual service, except that
while the ballots were being counted,
the judges received 80 cents an hour.
The old law allowed So day and
double pay for night work.
The First ward was the last to COM
plete it's count, finishing early this
morning. The Third ward got through
at midnight, and the Fifth ward
about five o'clock yesterday afternoon.
The ballot boxes have all been stow
ed away, and cannot be unsealed I'M
til the next general election, unless
there should be a contest.
The expense of the election to the
city includes the cost of twenty
booths.
The women's votes were placed in a
separate ballot box. Two boxes were
used in each precinct for the state and
county tickets. A large amount of
election supplies were used. The
booths were taken down today and
stored for the next election.
AS a result of Tuesdays election,
three of the wards will have to be sub
divided into two voting precincts
each. The law makes this manda-
tory on the council wherever the mum
Der of votes cast in any one ward
exceeds 400. This must be done be.

PAYING OUT GOLD.
One Result of the Election of TIC
kinley

The three national banks are pay
ing out gold on demand. One of them
claims to have payed out some gold
before election, but as matter of fact
no gold was seen in Mankato during
the time between the Chicago con-
vention and yesterday morning, when
the election of Mckinley was assured.
One of the banks paid out $1,000 in
gold coin yesterday, and the others
paid out smaller amounts. All three
will pay it out on demand hereafter,
as they have large quantities of it
stored in their vaults.
Gold has also been deposited at the
banks during the last two days, hav-
ing been pulled out of old stockings.
ALI this shows that confidence has
returned, and we believe that this is
a forerunner of much better times.
The :markets are holding firm, and
may continue to strengthen, except
the market for money, which is
easier.

MAY SETTLE 1T.
The Madison Lake School Case to
Be Compromised.

Efforts are being made this after
noon to compromise the Madison
Lake school case. 1t is understood
that Prof. Campbell is DESTROYS Of
compromising the case, and the other
side claims to have been willing to dc
50 at any time.
Fo arrangements have been agreed
upon as yet, but it is thought that
any plan that is agreed upon will in
the immediate resignation of Prof.
Campbell.
No decision has yet been filed by
Judge Severance, ond if a settlement
can be reached, probably none will be
filed.
Mr.. G. d. Foster, of Hitchcock, s.
D., was in the city today. He feels
confident of a Republican legislature
and the election nf Major Picker to
succeed Kyle in the U. S. Senate. He
also claims the state for Mckinley by
small majority.

ELECTION BETS.
The Democrats can now Liquidate
Their Debts.

Not as much betting as usual was
done in Mankato preceding the cleo
tion. This was not because there was
not enough money offered on the Re-
publican ticket, but because there
were few takers The odds the last
few days before election, offered on
Mckinley, were three and four to one.
Even money was offered on Clough
and Lind and more of these bets
were placed than any other kind.
There were few bets on Illinois, and
a number on majorities in different
states.
The landslide has been so complete
that those betting on the Democratic
candidates have almost invariably
lost, and a good many will ''go broke"
Several Republicans expect to come
out in new winter suits, and many
new hats will be worn in the next
few days.
No bets Of large size were made in
Mankato, SO far as known.

MARKET QUOTATIONS.
BEPoRTs FROM ALL GREAT BUsI-
NESS CENTRES OF THE WORLD.
Prices of Money, Bonds, stocks,
Grain, Tobacco, Cotton, Cattle,
Country Produce, &C., Foreign
and Domestic.

NEW YORK, August 1f.-In the early
trading at the Stock Exchange the ten
dency OF prices was downward, Lon
don cables reporting a slightly lower
range for American securities. ArbItrage
houses sold about 500 to 1000 shares OF
st. Paul, Louisville and Nashville, and
certain Of the low-priced issues. An
average decline OF about IL per cent.
resulted. but the bears were less de-
rnonstratlve The continued ease OF
sterling and the ability OF Stock Ex-
change borrowers to secure funds at 3G4
per cent. created little more bullish
feeling. AS the day advanced, and when
Il was cabled from London that Mr.. Bal
four in Parliament had stated that the
outlook for the settlement OF the Nene-
zuelan boundary dispute had improved,
the market developed positive strength.
As OF late, the shorts were the heaviest
buyers, and it is not amiss to say that
investment orders are few and far be-
tween.
As a rule. the best prices Of the day
were current around o'clock. one Of
the leading bears was prominent buyer
az the time and it is estimated that his
representatives succeeded In covering
about 1900 shares OF Sugar and St. Paul.
