CONTRACT COMPLETED.
Mr.. McDOugal Discharges the Remain.
der of his Men.

The work on the Mankato & New
Ulm road west of the Blue Earth river
has been completed so far as Contractor
McDougal is concerned, and he has laid
off the rest of his men and will himself
take his departure east. Mr.. McDougal
has been favored with most excellent
weather, and has completed his con-
tract within the time specified.
Engineer Yale was in Chicago Satur-
day but was unable to learn anything
in regard to the time when the opera
ton of the road will begin. The fact
that plank is being laid between the
tracks in front of the union depot looks
as though it was intended to use the
outer track for passenger trains.
Work on the bridge across the Blue
Earth river is being pushed, and also
on the riprapping.

A SMALL INCREASE.
The Tax Rate in MankatO is 700
Mills.

Auditor Gunders has figured up the
tax rates for the coming year. Man
kato has a rate of 1856 mills, as COM
pared with 1858 mills a year ago.
The increase is due to the in
creased city tax levy of So, 600. Last
year the rate for city taxes alone was
1l.2 mills, while this year it is 10 1
mills. On the other hand, the state
and county tax rate this year is 90
mills as compared with ga mills last
year and the school tax rate for the city
district is 5 mills as against 81 mills
mills last year Had the city tax levy
remained the same as last year the rate
would have been less than it was a year
ago.
Including the school tax, the rate for
Lake Crystal is 81 mills, Amboy 1877
mills, Mapleton 25.5 mills, Vernon Cen
ter 25 mills and Good Thunder 21,6
mills. Excepting the school tax, De-
coria has the least tax rate of any
township in the county, 9S mills, and
Jamestown the highest, 1873 mills.
The state tax rate this year is II
mills as against 1 mills last year. The
state school tax rate is 1.23, being the
same as last year. The county road
and bridge tax rate is the highest per-
missable, one mill, which is the same
as last year. The county poor tax rate
is 1.O7 mills as against ,S7 mills last
year, and the county revenue tax rate
is 3.2 mills as against 5 mills last
year.
Mapleton, Mapleton village, Lyra and
Good Thunder are the only districts
that still have railroad bonds to pay.

place on the committee on foreign af

Congressman Eddy retains all his old
committee places, but is moved up one
place on all.
Congressman McCleary left the bank

tinue to push their plans and express
the hope that they will soon meet with
success.
The gentlemen who are engaged in
the new brewing enterprise are among
Mankato's most substantial citizens,
and the fact that they are back of it
must give the enterprise standing in
the community as we'll as il business
circles everywhere. The undertaking
is an important one, as it will afford a
larger market for barley, besides in.
creasing the shipping interests of the
city. Eqery new factory and industry
