MRS. HILDEBRANDT'S CASE.
Her Father Accompanied Chief Bruels
Back From Sanb0rn.

Chief Bruels returned Saturday night
from Sanborn, where he went to have
an interview with Mr.. Prestel, the
father of Mrs. Hildebrandt, the woman
who came to the city from Genoa, Ill +,
the other day out of money and in an
unbalanced condition. He ascertained
that Prestel came to Minnesota four
teen years ago, but that his daughter
was married in Illinois She went to
Sanborn last May, and her father sent
her back to Illinois in August, and the
officials there have evidently sent her
back. Prestel accompanied Chief
Bruels to Mankato and took his daugh-
ter home with him. 1t is a question
whether her legal residence is in Min
nesota or Illinois.

CALLS A HALT.
Recorder Williams Serves Notice
on B. P. w.
Unless the Council Replenishes the Road
Fund, Street Work Must
Cease.

Late Saturday afternoon Recorder
Williams served a written notice on
the president of the board of public
works, notifying him that there is no
money in the road fund to pay war
rants for street work. This created
small sized sensation in the official cir
cles of the municipality. as it is the
first move in a new leaf which the re-
corder has turned over. While in ST.
Paul this week, Mr.. Williams had a
long talk with Comptroller McCardy in
regard to the duties of the Office, and
received several pieces of advice which
he proposes to follow, Mr., McCardy
had similar condition of affairs to
contend with when he came into Office
as confronts the present recorder, but
by strictly observing the charter he has
brought very smooth running condi-
ton of things era rezlsE8
Mr.. Williams states that hereafter
he will not issue warrants on a fund
that has no money in it. If the coun-
Gil places money in the empty funds he
will proceed to draw orders This will
bring the council face to face with the
true condition of things and as the
mayor refuses to sign new notes there
is hope that affairs will be conducted in
a more economical manner a ~
Mayor Currier is in hearty accord
with the latest move of the recorder.
President Porter, when asked what eff
feet the notice which was served upon
him yesterday will have, replied that
it would mean that street work would
stop tonight unless the council placed
some more money in the road fund. Up
to the present time, the board has been
doing work with money supplied by the
council on acquisitions.
The aldermen will hold an informal
meeting tonight to talk over the situa-
tion and see what can be done to avert
complete shut down of city work.

TO THE STATE.
Liquor License Bonds Given Since May
LIST Are Good.


A citizen of Owatonna has raised the
point that the liquor license bonds that
are given in favor of the city
are of little validity if not abso-
lutely worthless. He says: Under
the provisions of chapter 6, general
laws 1887, counties, cities and villages
were authorized to issue licenses but
the provision in relation to the bond to
be given contains nothing from which
it can even be claimed as implied that
the bonds shonld run to the separate
municipality instead of running to the
state. That the city would be unable
to enforce such bonds drawn in favor
of municipalities has been recently de-
cided by the supreme court of this
state in the case of the village of St.
James VS.. Hingtgen, AZ Mimi. 421."
Up to the present summer all liquor
license bonds in this .city were made to
run to the city instead of to, the state.
City Attorney Daily & corrected this
practice and made all of the bonds run
to the state, so that bonds given since
the first of May in this city are valid.
1t is doubtful whether the bonds given
by saloons that are running under
licenses issued prior to May LIST are of
much value.

AUGUST WEATHER.

Rachel P. Webb. of Sterling, writes
the Mapleton Enterprise that the
month of August just closed averaged
the warmest August in 26 years. This
statement is made, she says, after a
computation based upon observations
of the temperature. The mean tenn.
perature for the month was 1877 de-
grees, which she says are the highest
figures she can find recorded for that
month. The precipitation was slightly
above the average. She gives the fol-
lowing summary of temperature and
rainfalls as compared with former
years: sfoS ie'-' 2

A PAINFUL INJURY.
A. B. Ewing Hurt in a Railway Collision
Near St. Paul. ef.

A. B. Ewing was the victim of rail
way accident near st. Paul Saturday.
He boarded the train at Mime
apolis that should reach Mankato at
1O:42 a. m. When the train was in the
yards about a mile before reaching the
union depot at ST. Paul it was run into
by a Great Northern train with much
force.
Mr.. Ewing had been lying down in a
seat in the second car from the end of
the train, and had a paper folded under
his head. The collision jerked Ehim in
such manner that his head came
against the window casing, but the
paper prevented the scalp from being
cut. Mr.. Ewing. suffered great pain in
his head all the way home, and one
ankle was hurt. When he arrived in
Mankato he was conveyed to his rooms
in A. M. Smiths house, on South Broad
steet, and Drs. Andrews and Thinner
man we're summoned. The extent of
the injury could snot be ascertained,
but Mr.. Ewing continues to suffer
much pain in his head. cBrlaEIEl
W. W. Weller, of Rapidan, was on
the same train and assisted Mr.. Ewing
on the way home. He states that thu
Omaha engine gave a sudden jerk as
though to pull the train out of the way
and the engine and baggage car were
disabled. The baggage had to be trans
ferred and another engine secured, and
the train was delayed an hour.

COMMERCIAL STOCKS.

Nothing could better Illustrate the
steady growth OF prosperity which has
come to Utah during 1889 than a COM
parlson between the value OF her stand
ard dividend paying stocks ON Jan. LIST.
1892. and nj the close OF the year. Tho
ownership OF her main commercial
stocks had prior to this year been In
u limited number Of hands, and gem
orally the list OF names on the books
OF one institution would be found du-
pllcated on another. The present
year has seen a material change In
this respect. Many mining men. smelt-
Ing men. and sheep and cattle men
have made large sums OF money from
sales. and they have cast about with a
view TO placing their money where It
would bring a reliable and steady re-
turn. The list OF stocks l.. this market
which could be thus relied ON being
somewhat limited. their price has been
forced steadily upward. ms the compar-
ison shows. while an inspection Of the
stock books Of the various corporations
would show long list OF names OF those
who had not hitherto been seekers Of

The following table shows the steady
advance experienced by most OF our
stocks, and indicates the heavy gains

who havo held their securities since
