YATES AND CURRENT.
They Win Out i'm the West Point
Examination.

The competitive examination of the
young men desiring the appoint
ment to the vacant cadetship at the
West Point military academy was
completed late Friday afternoon.
Ralph P. Yates Jr., of New Ulm,
stood highest, scoring S73 points, and
John Current, of Home, Brown county,
came second, with 764-5 points. Mr..
Yates will receive the appointment,
and Mr.. Current alternate. They will
report for final examination at Fort
Smelling March Sd, where they will
be put through the regular West
Point entrance examination. If Mr..
Yates succeeds there, he will enter
the academy in June.
Mr.. Yates, the successful candi-
date, is nineteen years old and a
young man of pleasing appearance.
He stood highest in the physical ex-
animation as we'll as the mental, and
there is little doubt of his success.
He is anxious for the appointment,
and is pardonably elated over his sue
cess. He returned to New Ulm this
morning.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

By local applications, as they cannot

There is only one way to cure Deaf

this tube gets infiamed you have a

MARRIAGE BROKERAGE.
1t is Not Recognized by Law, as Held
by the Municipal Court.

Friday afternoon an interesting
case was tried and disposed of in the
municipal court. Albertina Hoppe
brought an action against Joseph
Lunkenheimerrto recover ten dollars
which she claims he promised her for
finding him wife three years ago.
She says that he has never paid IL,
and she wanted the court to order its
payment. w. N. Plymat appeared
for the plaintiff and G. 0. Daley for
the defendant
Mrs. Hoppe. was sworn first and said
that she had a talk with Lunken-
heimer in the summer of 1893, when
he came to her and talked about get
ting married. / told him about girl
working at DR.. Follman's, and he
asked me to see her and see If she
would marry him. He said he would
pay me $40 if she would marry him. L
went and saw her and she was favor
able. The girl came and staid out to
his farm for awhile, where they were
married Mr.. and Mrs. Lunkenheimer
came to the house about a year after
wards and he admitted his promise to
pay me $40.
Mr.. Hoppe testified that he was
present and heard the conversation
between the plaintiff and defendant
about getting girl tor him to marry.
Lunkenheimer came about noon and
said he was kind of mad and didn't
know what to do. My wife said 81 know
a girl that you can marry" He said
sail right, you see her." My wife
said "Joe, if l see the girl and you
marry her you pay me SlO." Joe said
"yes, 1 will pay you" and his mother
said eyes, Joe, you can pay her the
money" My wife came to Mankato
and saw the girl TWO different times.
Almena Schultz was sworn and
testified to hearing the defendant tell
the plaintiff that he would pay her
$40 if she would see the girl.
The plaintiff rested here, and Mr..
Dai ey moved to dismiss the case on
the ground that the plaintiff had
wholly failed to prove any cause of &C
tion, and that the testimony of the
plaintiff showed that the contract be-
tween the plaintiff and defendant was
a marriage brokerage contract and alb
solutely void in law. The motion was
sustained and the cause was dismissed.
The plaintiff obtained a stay of thirty
days.

In Unity There is Strength.

L. P. Hunt, in Mankato, is advocat-
ing B. d. Smith for attorney general,
and saying that the second district
wants him as it's representative on
the state ticket this year. There are
other parts of the district to be heard
from, and while Mr.. Hunt may be
all right, as far as Mankato IS con-
cerned. there may be some objections
in the sections which claim Ed. Young,

wood and Frank Day. 1t is doubtless
true that the second district, if it
gets together will be able to land the

half try. But if one end of the dis
trict pulls for Smith and the other for

MERCHANTS Meeting.
City Weigher and Wood Measurer
Endorsed.

The Merchants Protective Associa-
tion held meeting Friday night, al
though not largely attended, on &C
count of the entertainment at the
Normal. The condition of the city's
markets was talked over and it was
voted to ask the council committee
on markets to report favorably upon
the proposition to have city scales
and weigher. 1t was also voted to
recommend that the council have
somebody who shall measure all wood
that is offered for sale on the streets
by farmers, in order to protect inno-
cent buyers from short measure. The
opinion was expressed during the talk
that in many cases the cordwood
ticks are not four feet long, and that
the purchaser is imposed upon and
made to pay for more than he gets.
In regard to the stock market, it
was thought that the market is now
in good condition, with plenty of COM
petition. The associations buyer has
not purchased great deal, from
the fact that other buyers have kept
the prices up to and above the
limit placed by the association. In
this way, it was stated, the price of
hogs has gone to within thirty cents
of the Chicago market, and never be-
low fifty cents, whereas it formerly
was seventy or eighty cents under
that market. The independent buyer
keeps the local market in a steady
condition, ensuring the farmers
good prices at all times. Some of the
members reported that increased
sales of hogs have been made, and
that the market is in excellent con-
dition for this time of the year.

ANOTHER FICTION.
Sample of the Efforts to Belittle
MankatO Markets.

The following appears in Fridays
Mapleton Enterprise:
A prominent Decoria farmer was in
MankatO last week with load of hogs
and before selling desired to obtain
the markets at Mapleton and Lake
Crystal, he stepped into the tele-
graph office and to his establishment
was refused the right to send mes
sage of inquiry as to the market at
this place. That's one way to keep
markets up, but rather poor one.
Although this is most improbable
on the face of it, we asked Manager,
Jones, of the Western Union, about
the matter, and received his answer
as follows:
ga farmer came into this office last
week and wanted US to find out for
him from the agents at Mapleton and
Lake Crystal what was being paid for
hogs there. He was told to write out
his message and it would be sent at
the usual rates, but he went out.
People would be surprised how many
folks try to work us to send mes
sages free of cost in the form
of inquiries to other offices. OF
course, it is against the company's
rule for us to do so. There is nothing
more to this Mapleton story than
this, but l suppose that some of the
farmers will believe that we refused
to send message because we were
afraid that more was being paid for
hogs at the other places, as the
article is intended to make it appear
