Sixth ward-W. III. Glynn, Republi-
can; A. Lille, Democrat; Bert
Covell, Populist.
Aid. Zimmerman opposed ballot
judges, which were named in the Re-
publican county committee report.
He said that he opposed them on the
ground of economy.
Aid. Andrews said that the Repub-
licans are in favor of economy, and he
advocated ballot judges as they would
SO facilitate matters that it would be
saving of expense.
Aid. Bradley opposed ballot judges
on the ground of expense, saying that
they would not facilitate business.
Aid. Andrews called attention to
the law, and the other aldermen fell
in line for the qallot judges, Aid.
Zimmerman demanding four on be.
half of the Democratic and Populist
parties. Aid. Andrews thought that
the Republican wards should have
Republican ballot judges but Aid.
Zimmerman objected to this.
City Attorney afterwards came in
and held that the law did not make it
obligatory of the part of the council
to appoint the ballot judges, and the
council then dropped this part of the
matter, the most of the aldermen be-
ing opposed to ballot judges.

Mayor Weaver presided at the re-
gular meeting of the council Saturday
night, and all Of the aldermen were
present. 1t was long session, with
no end of talk.
An application for liquor license
was received from Henry Robel, and
Oct. 18th was set as the date for a
hearing.
A petition for the grading of the
triangle at the corner OF Fourth,
Parsons and Lincoln streets was re-
ceived, no expense to attach to the
city. 1t was referred to the street
committee.
The contract of Waters & Effer for
the grading of Franklin street,
with FrankEHenline and John Tren-
heuser as sureties was received. Aid.
Zimmerman said that the matter
ought to be settled. He understood
that outside parties would donate $3.50
and riprap the street from Sixth to
Adams streets. He moved that $3.50
be appropriated to help the grading
of the street for that distance. The
balance of the property could be as
sessed on the property benefited.
The contract price is 1915.
The favorable report of the insur-
ance, company on the city boilers,
which it inspected Sept. 18th, was re-
ceiVed.

Sewer Extension.

The board of public works reported
against putting in the extension of
the Clark street sewer until next year;
that the cost will be about $3.50; and
that the improvement is necessary.
Prof. Cox said that the petition had
been changed so that the sewer shall
run through the entire block. Some
of the opposition has been withdrawn,
and the petitioners will pay their as
sessments promptly.
Hugh McMurtrie favored the sewer,
and said that it could be constructed
more cheaply now than next spring, as
there is idle labor now that would be
helped by employment.
"There are six names on the new
petition, and two of the five on the re-
monstrance have withdrawn" said
Prof Cox.
On motion of Aid. Lille, the work
was ordered done, without opposition.
Mr. Lille moved that Mankato cement
pipe be used.

Franklin Street.

The FRANKLIN street contract was
then taken up, and Aid. Himmelman
moved that the city approve the con-
tract.
Mr. Kenopatski objected to the road
in the place proposed, ~and announced
that he would continue to kick.
John Klein said that the aldermen
would never make an improvement
without some of those benefited kick
ing, if they were in the council fifty
years. The city owes the laboring
men living, and if $4,000 was spent
on labor in Improvements, in a month
it would be back in the business
mems pockets. The time to make
improvements is the present, when
the people now living can enjoy it.
He said that the Catholic church
would give $3.50 toward this improve
ment. If the road was nearer Aid.
Bradley's home, he would get it
through the council.
Mr.. KenopatZki said that the i'm
provement is wanted for the benefit
of one or two men, and that one man
ought not to be better than another.
Aid. Bradley said that he would not
oppose the improvement if the city is
not bound to pay more damages than
now expected.
Aid. Andrews said that the city can
well improve the road to Calvery
cemetery, having made good road to
Glenwood cemetery He favored the
contract, while sorry to see the bitter
opposition which existed on the
part of some OF the property owners
Engineer Haynes said that the road
would be an excellent one with a
grade of only six or eight feet to the
hundred The bid is only two-thirds
of his estimate, and is remarkably
low

Wonderful Cures in WiscOnOin.

DR.. Warner-Dear Sir: Last March
my children were taken down with
the measles, which left four of them
with very bad coughs. My Oldest
daughters case became so alarming
that we feared she would have quick
consumption. Tried many different
medicines, recommended for coughs
and lung complaints, but all to no pur-
pose. One of my neighbors recon-
mended your White Wine of Tar
Syrup, as one bottle had cured nearly
every man in camp where he worked
of severe colds, and my family COM
menced taking it. In three days we
saw a great change for the better and
they did not use the whole of one
bottle before their coughs were cured.

Talking Economy.

Aid. Bradley said that the council
bad done pretty well by the peoe n
the way of Improvements, and that
Improvements ought to be shut OIL
He was in favor of shutting off some
of the street force, and especially the
sidewalk inspectors.
Aid. Lille accused Aid. Bradley OF
talking both ways.
Aid. Bradley denied that he had
contradicted himself. He had always
favored economy. The city's financial
condition is in bad shape, for the city
is spending money without anything
in the treasury to meet it. He was
done with voting for improvements.
Aid. Lille: "There are no more i'm
prOvementS talked Of"
Aid. Bradley: sit will be but day
or two before some alderman will have
an improvement which he will want
the aldermen to vote for because he
has voted for their jobs"
Mayor Weaver said that the city
does not owe anything that is not as
good as gold.
Aid. Zimmerman: Cor as good as
silver at the ratio of Is to l."
Mayor Weaver: There will be
plenty of money after Nov. 3rd."
A plat of Union addition to Man
kato was presented by the city engi-
neer.
Engineer Haynes said that the side
walk inspectors would be discharged
after this month, and that the street
force is being reduced.
The usual bills were allowed,
amounting to little over $4,000
Mayor Weaver stated that the State
Agricultural Society offers to loan the
city So, 500 The matter was left with
the committee on ways and means
The note must be on demand, at eight
per cent, as it is the money set aside
to pay Judgment against the society
in case the judgment has to be paid.
The local banks are to be given
preference on this loan.
The matter of improving the
triangle at the corner of Fourth, Par
sons and Lincoln streets was taken
up, and it was explained that there
would be no cost on the city, and that
the adjacent property owners would
make the triangle beauty spot. Aid.
Zimmerman was not willing to grant
this permission, because it was too
near Lincoln park. If it was 'down
town" he would favor it. Aid. Bradley,
in whose ward the improvements would
be, looked over the engineers plat of
the location, but let the matter go
without a word in its favor, and the
council adjourned without action.

THE DOLLARS WERE STRAIGHT.

The silverites have been claiming
that the Mexican dollars that have
been used so effectively as an object
lesson of the effects of free silver, by
the Republicans were counterfeit The
same cry was made in this city, but was
quickly dropped when they found. that
thecoins came through channels which
left no doubt of their genuineness.
The following dispatch from Lansing,
Mich. to the Chicago Tribune, under
date of Sept. 30, shows how a silver
lite got himself into trouble by assert
ing the Mexican coins were counter
felt when they were not: "Casper E,
Dupuy, of Stockbridge, offered to give
so cents worth of goods and Mexi-
can dollar for 81 of United States
money. This raised the ire of d. j.
Bennett, a silverite, who asserted
publicly that the Mexican dollars
were counterfeit. Depuy had Ben
nett arrested for criminal SANDER and
a jury found the latter guilty. a
chemical test proved that the Mexi-
can money was genuine. A fine of $40
was imposed"

why the injunction should not be
made permanent is returnable Oct.

The Mankato Linseed Oil Works
started up today and will probably
continue in operation through the
winter, although this will depend
upon the times
The mill also advanced their paying
price for flax seed to within thirteen
cents of the Chicago market, which
makes MankatO the best flax market
in this part Of the state. The price
paid today is 60 cents, the same as
Saturday, although the market else
where declined three cents.

support to many families, and is an
indication of better times coming, we
hope.
