Story OF THE YEAR.

The story which is told in our local
columns today of the years progress
in Mankato is one that will be pleas
ing 10 all of our citizens. 1t was gen.
.ersll, conceded last winter that the
nast season would be a very quiet
one in building circles, and that OUT
SIDE of few residences but very lit
tie W, uld be done, but circumstances
arose which caused more building in
the business portion Of the city, new
ertheless many will be surprised that
the total improvements for the year
thruug bout the city exceed 1926, 600,
thus coming up to about the average
for The past half dozen years. This
demo, es a good, solid growth and in
dictates that Mankato is enjoying
that steady grcwth that is so much
to be desired by any city.
There has been an impression
abroad. because Of the heavy failures
which have taken place here during
the past summer and fall, that Man
kato had received a setback, and that
tue prosperity for which it has been
nored during the past few years had
suddenly taken fight. The question
has been frequently asked OF late:
"What is the matter with Mankato?"
Well, there is nothing the matter
of Mankato! 1t is progressing as IT
has through the years past in solid,
substantial manner, and Is in splen-
did shape to take advantage of and
enjoy the prosperous times that are
upon us. The failures that have
taken place were in sense not Man
kato failures, in that they were not
caused by local conditions, but were
brought about by outside complica
tious, the Mankato interests in each
case proving pre- fitable. The fact that
the institutions affected by these
failures were only temporarily so, anc
that they have either resumed bust
ness or will at once under new man
agpment, verifies our assertion tina
there is nothing the matter will
MankatO.
No place in the northwest offer
better opportunities for, or promise
better returns on investments thai
does Mankato. There are numerou
lines Of manufacture that could b
carried on here most profitably as tn
market for their products would b
right at hand.
Our city has come through the re
cent hard times in good shape, and i
needs but the close cooperation Q
our business men and citizens to pus
1t ahe,d to become one of the mos
important industrial centers in tn
northwest.

North Mankato Man Escapes From Two
Foot Pads.
creditor.

A we'll known North Mankato man
had an adventure between nine and
ten o'clock Thursday that he will not
soon forget. He was taking the short
cut for home by way of Minnesota
street and thence across the river on
the ice. When he reached the Omaha
trestle and was passing under 1t, two
men confronted him and commando
him to halt. He started to pass them
when one kicked him in the shins, and
he heard a revolver click. He boted
the spot and did not stop until he
reached home. The foot pads did not
undertake to follow him. He intend
ed to come back and report the m tier
to the police, but his wife OBJECTED
and he did not report the occurrence
until this afternoon.
The gentle man was anxious that
his name might not be made pub
lie, and secure pr mise from the
police to this IF ct. He is a man wht
sometimes carries considerable money

Of the men, except that one was muci

ADOSE OFTHEIROWN MEDl-
CINE.

The Spaniards are said to be furious
over the death of Gen. Ruiz, whom
Gen. Blanco sent to one Of the Cuban
officers for the purpose Of bribing him
If possible to desert the cause OF Cuba
1t is not likely that the Cubans will
increase the respect of outside nations
for them, by such course as they
adopted toward Ruiz, but the Spanish
have no right to find any fault with
1t. By the policy they have pursued
there they have invited just such
treatment. 1t can be said, however,
In behalf of the Cubans, that they did
not display any sneaking treachery in
the matter. When Blanco made it
known that he would bride Cuban Of
fcials to desert their cause, it was
openly proclaimed by the Cuban
leaders that emissaries on such mis-.
sion would meet with instant death.
Ruiz went to his death, if all reports
are correct, with his eyes open to the
danger that his course Invited, For a

war were little more closely observ-

treac herous foe to meet. They have
been betrayed and outraged on va
rious occasions and now the Spanish
are receiving the full penalty in their
own coin. 1t is terrible revenge,
but it is very doubtful if any people
similarly situated would do different
by. The incident fully confirms the
assertion of Gen. Sherman. that "war
is hell"
