street wearing Dewey neckties, into which
are stuck Dewey scarf pins, and display

buttons. He will see canes with a repro
duction of his own head as a handle. If
he should 20 into barber shop to he
shaved he is apt to find his own features
looking out at him from the side of the
shaving mug, and when he washes his
hands at hotel he is likely to pick up
"A bar of Dewey toilet soap. In the lunch
rooms he may find Dewey paper napkins,
and the tops Of some of the butter dishes
consist simply of DeweyS head. which
Is used as a handle. In the toy stores are
offered for sale a number of novelties
which would call "A blush to the check of
the modest admiral. There is one doll

on his way to Washington a little man,
with long gray hair and beard, spectacles

aside he made at the admiral with out
stretched hands and exclaimed;
How do you do? Bless me, but I'm
glad to see youl'
Dewey looked at the little man for a
moment and then said:
why Major, how do you do? am glad
to see you"

A DELAYED MARRIAGE.
Groom Must Show His Divorce Papers
Before Getting a License,

Frederick W. Folkman and Minnie j.
Schepf presented themselves to Clerk of
Court tThorne Wednesday and re-
quested marriage license Folkman
said that he was divorced IN ST. James
and that his wife had married again,
but was unable to produce the papers
and could only remember that the sher-
if of Watonwan had read paper to
him. The clerk feared that the paper
read by the sheriff was merely the sum-
mons in the action and that the divorce
might possibly not have been granted,
50 he refused to issue the license until
Folkman should produce the necessary
papers from st. James Folkman went
away saying that he would go to st
James on the first train. They were to
have been married at once, bat when the
matter was explained to them they
readily assented to the delay.

COUNCIL WINS.
City Recorder Williams Must
Obey aldermen.
Judge Severance Gives the City Fathers
Some Exec. lent Advice on Fi=
nancial Management.

Judge Severance this afternoon de-
cided the mandamus proceeding of the
council against the city recorder in
favor of the former. The memoran-
dunn is as follows:
In this case all technicalities and
questions as to the parties are
are waived The itigants simply
wish to know the power and du-
ties of the city council and city record
er under the charter of the city of Man
kato in relation to the matters involved
in this proceeding. The charter gives
almost unlimited power to the city
council in the business of the city, and
there is nothing left to the recorder but
to follow the direction of the council,
and if in so doing disaster befalls the
city, it will be chargeable to the coun,
Gil and not to the recorder The char
ter contains but few limitations on the
power of the council, and not
enough by any means, and the
same may be said of all the officers and
agents of the city. The finances of the
city are in deplorable condition, and
nothing but the exercise of sound judg
ment and relentless retrenchment will
save the city from endless harm. The
good of the people at large and not the
interests of the few who have fish to fry
should control the action of the council
Absolute necessity alonei is the only con
dition that should create any further
Indebtedness on the part of the city
until its finances are in better condi-
ton. The question of convenience and
ornament should be laid aside for the
time being. That the charter ought to
justify the city recorder in all his re.
fusals in question may be safely
admitted, but in my opinion it
does not, and hence l have ordered the
writ to be made peremptory.
II know what condition the council
finds itself in by reason of many i'm
provident methods that have been al
lowed to prevail for years, and to cure
these methods is the duty of the
present council, if it can be done. and ]
think it can if the council will say no
to every demand but that of necessity

will recover she is seriously injured

On the Curb.

| Frank E Johnson, one of the COM
mercial travellers who were slightly in
jured in the wreck Sunday afternoon,
believes that Mankato is a city of
tragedies. His first visit here was on
Dec Goth, 1862, when the thirty eight
Indians were hung. He came next
the Sunday that the big storm in June
occurred, when the gas house was
destroyed by lightning and culyerts
were washed out. Then he came Sun.
day and was in the wreck. He jumped
from the G. & N W. train before the
collision occurred and fell down into a
hole full of weeds between the tracks.
A commercial traveller from Ovation
ma met with quite serious loss during
the wreck. He jumped from car and
fell down. When he got up he felt a
trickling sensation down one leg and
instantly put his hand back, thinking
that he had been wounded and was
bleeding. He found that a flask of
choice rye had been broken by his fall.
1t has been the policy of the Omaha
road, and doubtless of other roads also,
to run longer freight trains this sum-
mer. Two or three engines are used
and long lines of heavily loaded cars
are whisked across the country. Rail.
road men say that this has been neces-
sary by the scarcity of help. A long
train can be handled by the same num-
Der of men as short train. 1t is pos
sible that the matter of expense also
cuts some figure, as a greatly reduced
pay roll results from the doubling up
of trains The engines are put in front.
There may be reasons for this, but if
one engine had been behind. the acct
dent of Sunday could not have hap
pened.
Henry M. Taylor, of Boston. arrived
in the city last night from Faribault,
and will remain for two weeks. For
