sess the merits which made hair
pins needed without the faults that
have at times tended to make
women regard hairpins as a nui-

nuisance, nevertheless. In the
future, hairpins will not be a nee
essity. By means of the Fin De
Steele Comb, the hair can be
dressed in a variety of styles with
out the use of hairpins. And the
beauty of it is that the hair, while
securely fastened, remains loose

A Noticeable Feature.

One of the noticeable features at
The Saulpaugh during the conven-
vention was the pictures which were
awarded by the Minneapolis Journal
to the northwestern prize winners in
their Journal Junior contest. Men,
tion of the work was made in these
columns some time ago, but this is
the first opportunity that has been Of
fered to Mankato people to see just
what the pictures are. The two dis
played here have been won by pupils
of Grafton, N. D. and Perham, MINI.
They are gems of art, beautifully
framed, and are worth all efforts of
the children to win them.
Four such pictures are awarded each
week by the Minneapolis Journal, two
going to out-of-town workers, and two
to the local workers. They are hung
permanently in the school rooms of
the winners, and are a notable ad-
vance in the movement of art for the
schools, which is the underlying prin-
ciple of the Journal Junior work.
Mankato young people should be in
the ranks. Let US hear from them.

Will Rebuild.

B, D. Pay & Son will rebuild their
livery barn as soon as possible after
the insurance has been adjusted.
While they have not had time to
think much on this matter, it is pro-
bable that they will erect a barn as
large or larger, and as well built as
the old one.
In the meantime. the horses were
placed in the Clifton House barn, and
the vehicles and other property saved
has been placed in A. III. Smiths va
can't building, across Hickory street
from the old barn, and the firm Is now
ready to receive orders there and to
fill any that are received. They have
full complement of carriages and
horses, and their business will 60
along without interruption. The
The firm has received many express
sions of sympathy from all sides. and
indignation is expressed at the work
of the supposed fire bug.
A great deal OF credit is due Mr..
Segers, to whose faithful efforts the
saving of the horses and vehicles is
largely due. He worked hard and
without regard to danger, and with
the assistance which he received from
Mr.. Mention and others saved every
thing on the first floor.
The heat was so intense that the
rear window panes on the Model
block were broken, and the paint
blistered. The rear iron stairway
was so hot as to burn ones hand. The
damage on the building will amount
from $50 to 800.
The rear of Jno. G. Noes building
suffered little from fire, but this is
not counted loss as the building was
already total wreck.

ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE.
One is to be Organized in Mankato
Soon.

The Presbyterian church was
crowded last evening at the union
services, called to hear DR.. Howard
d. Russell, National Superintendent
OF the American Anti-saloon League.
Mr.. Russell gave an interesting ad-
dress, and spoke of the necessity of
manufacturing an anti-saloon senti-
ment. He said that temperance men
and church people should be on hand
at the primaries. when steps are
taken to elect city and other officials.
II the best people would perform
this duty, they would soon have things
in their own hands.
At the conclusion of the services,
DR.. Russell asked the ministers of
the various churches each to select
three or four of their principal church
workers, and to remain and hold q
conference with him. The matter of
organizing local anti-saloon league
was then talked over, and it was left
with the ministers to take such action
as they deem best looking to the
organizing Of one. The opinion was
expressed that some such thing is
needed in Mankato.

Aid. Zimmerman said the matter
should be carried further If this rule
was to apply. Where there is by.
drant. charge for the benefit of fire
protection. Where there is a saloon
divide the license money in that dis
trict. Where could we stop? He
thought that one proposition was as
fair as the other.
Aid. Fowler moved that the propo-
sition be rejected. ThissWas carried
unanimously.
Aid. Peterson said that he under
stood that 80 or 40 carcasses are decay
ing on the ground at the city bury
ing place. He asked the health officer
about it.
DR.. Hielscher said that as soon as
the frost gets out sufficiently he
would have them buried. The ami
mails had been left there during the
winter.
Aid. Zimmerman said that a new
year is beginning and improvements
may be asked for, and he suggested
that fifty per cent of the cost be re-
quired to be paid into the treasury
before any contract is let.

Highland. Park Improvement.

Aid. Peterson suggested that as
long as park improvements are being
laid out, something ought to be done
for Highland park. He favored let
ting some one occupysthe pest house
getting their rent free for work on
the park. Boys now have possession
Of the building. Something should
also be done toward fencing in the
beautiful Capital square.
Aid. Fowler said that it had been
found out that tramp or someone
else had been living in the pest house
during the winter.
DR.. Hielscher said that only one
patient has ever occupied the pest
house, and only for one day. A
family could be easily accommodated
there.
On motion of Aid. Petersen, the
park commissioner was authorized to
see if he can find some family to &C.
cupy the house for work on the park.
DR.. Hielscher asked that one room
be reserved for the health depart.
ment in case of contagious diseases
making pest house necessary,
Mayor Pau asked how a family
could live there if case of contagious
disease is placed in one room.
DR.. Hielscher said that the inten-
tion was to get an old couple to live
there.
Mayor Pau suggested that old peo-
pie possibly do not want to die any
more than other people.
DR.. Hielscher said that old people
do not take contagion like young pee
pie.
Park Commissioner Blake said that
there is no water there, and the fence
must be made.
Aid. Fritz said that not as long a
haul of water would be required as at
Sibley park, and the fence had already
been ordered.

Fire Dept. Requests.

Aid. Zimmerman said that Chief
Phillips had been notified by the
drivers of the hose wagons that they
would quit April LIST, as they do not
get rest enough for the money which
they receive.
Chief Phillips said that he wanted
to enter a protest against drawing
water from hydrants for sprinkling
purposes. A cap and pipe have to
be taken off at fires. which takes too
much time. It is also essential that
two more paid men be had at the city
hall. This would be great advan-
tage, as they would be trained to make
couplings on the hydrants. Some of
the firemen cannot do this. The
teams go out from the hall with only
one man on, often, and valuable time
is lost.
On motion of Aid. Bradley, the
whole matter was referred to the fire
committee.

A Compromise Reached.

A recess was taken to allow the
committee on claims and accounts to
consider the claim of Waters and Eff
fer for extra work on their Franklin
street contract. Aid. Petersen had
referred to Mr.. Effer's recent loss by
fire, and said that if anything swas
coming to him it would do him the
most good now.
The committee, on returning, re-
ported in favor of allowing 5000. The
original claim was $400.
Aid. Petersen moved that the re
port be adopted and the amount ter
dered in full payment, and this was
carried.
City Recorder Brown reported that
the creamery is ready to receive it's
5000.
