NEW CLOTHING HOUSE

The old Star Clothing House, which
was started in Mankato in 1872, and
continued uninterruptedly until fS45,
estab lished and controlled for more than
quarter of century by the LonginI
family, is again to become a permanent
institution in our city. 1t will be re-
membered that in '95 Mr. l. Longini
sold the Star to Mr.. Hilger, since which
time it has not been known under that
name: Mr.. |. Longini conducted and
controlled the business of this old anG,
well known house for twenty years, and
in the re establishment of the concern
Mr.. Longini will be moving spirit.
For several months he has been urged
by old time eastern friends to reorgan-
ize the old house. and this he is now
about to do. Just what the style of the
firm will beor all the parties that viii
be connected with it is not yet known,
and will not be until Mr.. Longini re-
turns from the east, for which point ne
will leave Wednesday,
The many friends of Isidor Longini
sincerely hope that he will find no diff
Guilty in perfecting arrangements TO
open up under the name which for years
was household word throughout this
part of the state. 1t is understood that
Mr.. J. B. Meagher will remodel the
front and interior of the buildiner rayF-
door north of Benack & Harris hard
ware store, and it will be put in first
class shape for a frst-class clothing
house.
Mr.. Longini will return in about two
weeks, and at that time matters win
have assumed definite form. The
store will be opened for business about
September first.

REBUILDING UNDER WAY.
Austin Clements Works Structures Rise

Work is progressing on the founda

stone work is so vel along that force

high; the mill 32x43 feet, three stories
high; and the kiln shed 20x60 feet, one

MORE OBJECTIONS.
Aldermen Listen to Citizens
With Grievances.
Board of Equalization has It's hands
Full Regarding the taxation OF
Mortgages.

At the meeting of the board of eQuali-
cation Monday B. G Taylor appeared
again on behalf of the Mankato Savings
bank. He presented further arguments
why the bank should not be taxed. He
made a statement of the mortgages
held by the bank and of the deposits,
showing that one offset the other.
Assessor Fowler had been unable to
obtain statement from the bank, and
had taken the recorded mortgages and
assessed them at fifty cents on the dol
lar, or $62, 600. The board did not alter
the assessors return.
Rev. Lee w. Beattie appeared and
thought it strange that mortgages
which he held were assessed, while
mortgages held by other ministers We're
not assessed He did not object to pay
ing his share of the taxes and had
asked the assessor to LIST his personal
property when that official was going
to pass it by on the ground that he was
a minister
Mr.. Kunz appeared and objected to
the assessment of his mortgages He
said that he obtained the money from
the east and reloaned it, and that it had
already been assessed in the east. If it
was to pay taxes again he Guild not do
business on that basis.
A. j. Busch appeared in response to
notice that the board was contemplate
ing raising the assessed valuation OF the
stock of goods of A. j. Busch & Son.
He maintained that the assessment was
high enough.
The board adjourned until 700 o'clock
tonight, 1t is listening to the different
parties who appear, but is delaying
final action until the last.

they served with the coffee, and every

WIZARDS OF THE AIR.
VeritabIe Living Mete0rs with Ringing
Bros Great Circus.

There is probably no single feature
of a circus program that claims so
much breathless attention or that
thrills an audience to a greater degree
than an intrepid performance upon the
flying trapeze This is strikingly true
of the Fishers, the wonderful aerial
family, who will be seen with Ringing
Brothers famous big circus when it
exhibits in this city Monday, July II.
The performance given by this notable
family of aerialists is not only unique.
but also superior to anything of the
kind ever seen in this country, They
actually fly through space, turning
single and double somersaults in mid
air, and never failing to scatch each
other at the critical moment of descent.
Equally remarkable are the thrilling
aerial exploits of the marvellous Da-
Comas. Swinging under the immense
dome forty feet apart, Louis and Rose
toss their sister Fanchon across the in
tervening space, catching her with out
stretched hands, and repeating the
thrilling maneuver until the audience
is fairly electrified by the daring dex-
terity of the performance. In addi-
ton to the Fishers and DaComas Ring
ling Brothers offer many other high
class aerial novelties. Nine. Turnour,
the aerial equilibrist. is an unrivaled
artist in her line. AS masters of the
aerial bars, ..Alvo, Boise and Pickard
are without peers in the arenic world.
Among aerial somersault divers the
Great LeFleur stands alone. These are
but a few of the great artists whose
performance in mid-air excite the won
who daily visit this stupendons show.
The trained animal features include
O'Brien's famous sixty-one horse act,
Sunlin's performing bull, Nine Ada
CASTILLO and her famous menage horse.
Jupiter; three distinct troupes of per-
forming elephants, embracing Lock
udTG clopuduG COluoulduS, cJuutl .
elephant brass band and Marchand's
boxing proboscidians, and complete
circus of wonderfully trained ponies,
goats, dogs, pigs and other familiar
animals. The hippodrome introduces
all kinds of new and novel races, as
we'll as the always thrilling and excit-
ing contests of the Roman Maximus.
Superb exhibitions of riding are given
by the largest company of lady and
gentlemen equestrians ever organized,
including Albert Crandall, whose bur-
lesque somersau t act upon the back of
male creates sensation. The men
agerie is the largest geological collec-
tion in the United States and embraces
many rare specimens of costly wild
beasts seldom seen in captivity. Circus
day will begin with magnificent free
street parade. The procession will be
in thirty sections each of which will
constitute a separate and distinct
parade. Nothing so elaborate, nothing
that could compare with it in length,
brilliancy or gorgeousness of costum
ing and decoration, has ever been seen
in this city.

Mr.. Pelton, proprietor of the Min
neopa hotel property has contracted
with the Mankato Cement Sidewalk
company for new cement walk along
the Second street side of his property.
The walk will be twelve feet wide and
about hundred and fifty feet long. 1t
will be splendid improvement and one
that will be appreciated by the public.
1t has been reported in some of the
papers of the state that pension vouch,
ers issued on July 4th will not be legal.
This is mistake, for Uncle Sam will
recognize vouchers issued on that day
as well as any other day.
