NORTH MANKATO.
What Editor Fichthorne Learned on
the Incorporation Movement.
l. liz OOuS
deed is S145

Editor Fichthorne, Of the st. Peter
Tribune, was in the city the other day,
and took occasion to visit North Man
kato, and found it much Improved
since his last visit. In connection
with writeup of the place, he has
this to say:
In conversation with some of it's
citizens, we found there was consider
able agitation in regard to the matter
Of changing it's present form OF free
government into an Incorporated viii
lage, which, OF course, il consummat-
ed, must carry with 1t considerable
expense to the property holders to sus-
tain it, while at present its people are
enjoying a moderate taxation, which
was the incentive, we are told, that
led SO many to erect residences on the
north side Of the river, and who see
that Incorporation means more taxes
to property owners, in the fact that
Incorporation means president and
council, marshal, night watch and
street commissioner to be paid-it
means the grading of streets and side
walks, and they are not so sure but
MdukdUO CdH SUep Ill duu DISK Uuelu w
keep in repair half of the river bridge,
while now they are only required to
take care of the north approach.
There is another feature that the
citizens say enters into the matter.
and that is that several of the saloon
keepers of MankatO desiring to escape
the ST. 900 license in that city, are on
ly awaiting Incorporation to move
across to North Mankatp where the
license would be only $500, and this
they don't want. The petitions for
and against, to Bird of Co. CONS have
already been filed, asking for an cleo
tiOn to vote upon the question, but
we are told by reliable citizens chat
the majority asking for an election
are not property owners, hence are
not taxpayers, and claim that it is
unfair that such condition of affairs
be saddled upon the genuine property
owners and taxpayers. OF course,
we know nothing of the situation save
that which we were told, and must
leave the matter to be fought out by
those most interested.

What is Rupture 2

In every human being there are two
openings one on each side of the lower
parts of the abdomen called ''lnguinal
Rings" through which passes the
Spermatic Cords or Fallopian Tubes,
and are formed by the muscles and
ligaments. When they tit close around
the cord it is an impOSsibility for any
one to have a Rupture. But when,
from any cause, these muscles become
relaxed from and the opening too large
all that prevents the intestines from
coming out is the lining membrane or
peritoneum, and severe strain, cough
or sneeZe will force them out, when it
is called Inguinal hernia, and if it fol-
lows the cord down into the scrOtum,
it is called scrotal hernia. There it
will be seen there is nothing torn or
rent, but simply relaxed muscles and
a strained membrane.
Our theory of cure is to retain the
membrane and inteStines with the alb
dominal cavity and develop the mus
Giles to their normal condition, there
by closing the rings" and making a
making permanent cure.
This we accomplish by the uSe2 of
DR. BARDWELL'S BAR LOCK
TRUSS, and the use of our MUSCLE
INVIGORATOR, applied externally.
A permanent cure guaranteed with
out any surgica operation or risks.

PRIVATE HAY MARKET.
1t Is Taking All the Business from
the City's Stand.

The Board of Public Safety yesterdaNre-
ceived AN opinion from City Attorney Cur
tbs relative to its Jurisdiction over private
markets. Mr. Curtis informed the board
that the city charter vests the right to
pass ordinances governing private markets
in the Council. So far no ordinances touch
ing that question have been passed. The
question was brought up a result of the
moving of the city hay market from West
Maryland street to the corner of Pine and
Washington streets some time ago. Since
then j. l.. Bradley, owner of the Old mar
ket has continued to run in opposition to
the city market AS a result the revenue
OF the city market has been cut off, and it
is scarcely self-supporting. The board was
anxious to find some plan by which Mr..
Bradley could be compelled to pay the
city for the privileges, either in the way of
a license lee or q certain proportion of his
gross receipts. The entire matter will be
laid before the Council at it's next meeting
and 1t is not unlikely that some ordinance
will be passed. Thomas +. Harold weigh
master, reported to the board yesterday
that. the entire receipts of the city hay
market for the month were but SS9.65. as
against s2SS.70 in 1894 and $119.7O in 1895.
Last year the receipts were lighter than
ordinarily on account of short hay crop.

THE SANITARY RULES
Adopted by State Board-Reports from
Dipbtheria.

The State Board of Health met yesterday
and adopted the set of sanitary rules gov
erning the public schools of the State
written month ago by DR.. j. N Hurry
secretary of the board These rules are
very complete and since their first publica-
ton in the Journal have attracted wide
attention. The board also ordered all health
officers of the State to provide themselves
with long glossy linen busters and skull
caps. to be carried in a separate bag and
to be donned wherever they enter a house
afflicted with diphtheria or other contagious
disease.
A letter was yesterday received by the
board from DIR. George T. Mccoy health
officer of Columbus. protesting against the
state OF affairs in Brown county, just west
of Columbus. He reports in Brown county
a large number of cases and deaths from
what the local physicians term .'fellicular
tonsiliHs' This disease is not at all fatal
and he beives that it is nothing more
less than diphtheria. He also reports the
death of six little girls near Stonehead,
Brown county, and that the funerals We're
public and in one case the coffin was
opened at the grave for one of the relatives
to view the remains. DR.. Mccoy reports
that Nashville, Stonehead and Storyvile
health officer of Brown county, was or
dered to at once investigate the case and
take stringent measures to prevent the
spread of the disease
Another letter was from l.. S. Wood

students who favor Bryan doing the thing
but they were in such a small minority that
after one or two efforts to make noise for their
favorite they gave it up.
The students will appoint a committee to call
lions to a fund to provide for the needs of the
team. At present. the association having just
{ been organized, there are practically funds
to keep the team in shape. The students will
also contribute. but they are not in a position
to give very large amount.

DANGER TO GAS MAINS
INJUNCTION SOUGHT AGAINST TELE-
PHONE CONDUIT LAYING.
indianapolis Company Wants TeIe-
phone Company's Route on Massa-
chusetts Avenue Changed.

The Indianapolis Gas Company yesterday
afternoon filed suit for an Injunction
against the Central Union Telephone Com
pany and the city to restrain the telephone
company from laying its conduits imme-
diately under the gas company's mains
The complaint was taken to Judge Har-
vey's house last night to get temporary
restraining order. The gas company claims
that the telephone company is now placing
its conduits in Massachusetts avenue, and
is preparing to put them Immediately I'M
der the mains for the artificial gas. 1t is
also alleged that in excavating under the
mains the pipes are not properly supported
ioosening of joints. 1t requires very little
opening for natural gas to pass through,
and this sagging is liable to cause II, leaV-
ing great danger that the gas viii escape
later and seep into cellars and cause very
dangerous explosions.
Tt is further alleged that the plans of the
telephone company contemplate laying the
conduitS so the gas main Will rest on top
of them. The company shows that in re-
pairing joints and replacing broken pipes it
is necessary to dig under the MAN, and
that there should be at least a foot of
available space for this purpose and that
with the main resting directly on top of
the conduits it would be impossible to make
proper repairs or put in new pipe. Several
serious explosions that have. occurred on ac-
count of leaky mains emphasizes the gas
company's claims.
