disappeared from the skirts of cos
TUNES. There are folds in plenty
where the skirts and shaped hounces
begin to widen. but they fan

have followed suit and we shall see

The season a. Maguire's opera house
ln Butte was inaugurated the past week.
The opening week was artistically a sue
cess. Financially il could have been
much more gratifying. The only eN-
cuse that can be offered for the fact
shat the house was not crowded at each
performance is that the Anaconda races
were too strong a counter attraction
and took from Butte a very large por-

The Minnesota Lake Tribune has
learned "that number of anti-Hunt
men and disappointed postoffice seek
ers at Mankato are organizing
movement to defeat Congressman
McCleary for denomination" This If
another instance of "going away from
home to learn the news" There il
no organized, nor attempted organ
lied effort in Mankato to defeat Con-
gresham McCleary. Blue Earth

in supporting Mr.. McCleary for re-
nomination and election. The Trib'
une'sinformation is wholly inaccurate.
Mr.. McCleary's value as member OF
congress is nowhere more appreciated
than in his home city, and the rum OF

"Jerry j." in the Minneapolis
Journal, thinks that after all it would
be quite as well to renominate At
torney General Childs. By all means
put Childs on the slate that has been
prepared. The ticket would then
read precisely as it has for the past
four years with the exception Of the
substitution of Van SAINT for Clough.
And why this change? Why not re.
nominate GOV. Clough and save the
bother of any change whatever? And
another feature that might be favor
ably considered by those who have
taken hold of the matter of choosing
the next ticket for the Republican
party, is the propriety of doing away
with the annoyance and expense Of a
state convention. But come to think
of it, the people might mildly protest
against this last proposition. They
may want to send delegates down to
St. Paul just to ratify the slate, if

REFORMATORY.
Fred, Manthy Receives His Sen
tenCe.
The Diemel Two Weller Cases
vg Continued Until the June
Term of Court.

Fred Manthy was brought before
Judge Caldwell at two O'Clock this
afternoon to plead to the indictment
charging him with grand larceny In
the second degree He appeared to
be more cheerful than at any time
since his arrest, seeming as happy as
a clam in warm water. He pleaded
guilty to the Indictment, and had
nothing to say why sentence should
not be pronounced. In reply to aues-
tions of the court, he stated that he
is twenty-three years old, was born in
Wisconsin, and has lived in Mankato
four years. He had done laundry
work for eight years.
Judge Caldwell sentenced Man thy
to the state reformatory at st. Cloud.
The sentence is indetermiDate, the
extreme limit being five years. Judge
Cad we'll told the prisoner that with
good behavior he could get out sooner.
If he obeyed the rules and agreed to
work after getting out he would be
released on parole at the end of four
teen months. He must learn to earn
his support by his own labor instead
of,living off of the labor of others.
He was apparently strong and healthy
and ought to earn living honestly.
Manthy desires to see some of his
relatives, and he will not be taken to
St Cloud for several days.

January, 1880, Was Warmer than Last
Month.

According to the U. s. Signal ser
vice at St. Paul, last month was not
the warmest January on.record. The
average temperature Of January dur
ing the past twenty-eight years, at
St. Paul, has been twelve degrees
The average last month was TWENTY
three degrees. The corresponding
month in 18SO.js the only one that
was warmer, its average being
twenty-six degrees. The coolest jan
uary since 1870 was that of 1888, when
the temperature averaged one degree
below zero. In January, 1880, the tenn
perature went as low as twelve below

ranging from ten to forty-one below

lowest point reached was the same as
last month at St. Paul two degrees
below zero. The precipitation was
only .O4 of.an inch last month, while
the average is .9S. The correspond
ing month Of 1892, the only January

Supt. Varney protested against his
reinstatement. Said the teachers had
all asked to be relieved of his presence
as his influence was bad for the school.
II. l. Parry said that he liked to
help any young man along as much as
any one, but thought the effect of re.
instatement upon the other pupils
should be taken into consideration.
S. B. Wilson moved that Duane be
reinstated, and after promise to the
board that he would faithfully OBJ.
serve all rules, be punctual in attend
ance and apply himself to his studies,
it was voted to 2 to reinstate him.
Supt. Varney stated to the board
that during the month he expected to
be absent two days visiting schools in
neighboring cities,
1t was voted that If the debt
against the gymnasium did not ex
coed $25, that an order for the amount
be drawn on the treasury and the
same paid, and that school property
committee take an inventory of the
property and cake possession in the
name of the board for the use of the
schools.
The following resolution was pre-.
sented:
Resolved, That in the future all
candidates for positions as teachers in
the Mankato public schools shall be.
long to one of the following classes.
First. A high school graduate
with one year or more successful ex
perience, or one year professional
training in a Normal school.
Second. A Normal graduate from
advanced course.
Third. Teachers of uDquestioned
experience of two or more years.
The resolution caused quite a
spiritued debate, one or two members
asserting that they Disseminated
against high school graduates by shut
ting them out unless they happened
to have had experience. They were
finally adopted by vote of 6 to2
The usual bills were allowed and
the board adjourned.
