IMPORTANT TO KEY HOLDERS.

The U. S. Postal Guide for June con-
tains ruling by the Postmaster Gener-
al which should be understood by post
Office box renters. A receipt is given
every h lder of box for the deposit
made with the postmaster for a key.
This receipt is promise to pay" and
is equivalent to promissory note, and
is demand on the postmaster for the
repayment of the amount Of the key de-
posit on presentation of same accompa-
MED by the key. The department does
not issue receipts merely to have them
lost or destroyed, but as means by
which the patrons of the Office may
maintain their rights to the amount
represented thereby, and as proof
available to postmasters (after they
have been returned) that the amounts
specified thereon have been refunded.
Without the return to the postmaster of
this receipt, the holders of keys cannot
withdraw their key deposit fund.
1t should be understood by box hold
ers that the postmaster has no discre-
tionary powers in this matter, and it
behooves key holders to carefully pre-
serve their receipt or be content to for
felt the amount of their deposit.
Heretofore postmasters have been per-
mitted to take receipt from key hold
ers on surrender of their keys, and
where the original receipts were lost or
destroyed, on another and different
blank, but this practice is now prohibit
ed. Only the original receipt given
the holders of keys at the time of re-
ceiving their keys can be recognized in
the refunding of deposits.

1T IS COMING.

After ALL Mankato is to have a big
circus this season. And not an ordin-
airy big circus, either. Ringing
Brothers popular show will exhibit
here Monday, July II. This will be
good news for all who enjoy first
class circus, and certainly a better
show than Ringing Brothers would
be hard to find. The show has won it's
present lofty position in the amuse-
ment world by legitimate methods,
and its return to a city is always a
matter for felicitation. 1t has been
two years since the show was here, but
the intervening years have been a
period of growth and development. At
the time of the last visit to Maukato
it seemed as though the extreme limit
of growth had been reached, and yet the
show now utilities an entire train of cars
more than it did at that time. Many
novel features of an expensive charac-
ter have been added, and the show is
now unquestionably the largest and
most complete arenic exhibition before
the American public. The show open.
ed the season at the immense latter
sails amphitheatre in Chicago, playing
there for two weeks to the largest bust
ness in it's career. A phenomenally
successful engagement in St. Louis
followed. The subsequent route en-
braced Kansas City, Denver, Salt Lake
and Puget Sound cities, and every.
where the show has been greeted as the
greatest amusement institution of it's
kind ever organized. The Ringlings
are deservedly popular in Mankato, and
circus day here will be great event.

A GOOD BID.
City Bonds Secure a Premium of
S23l.0O.
MankatO's Credit is Almost as Good as
the Governments, as Shown
by Interest Rates.

Bids for the $23, 900 of refunding
bonds, running twenty years and draw
ing three and half per cent interest,
were advertised to be opened by the
city treasurer at ten o'clock this fore
noon At that time but two bids had
been received, and these were opened.
One was from W. J. Hayes & Son
the well known bond buyers of Cleve-
land, Ohio. They made no definite
proposition but stated that they might
be able to use the bonds at par, and
would charge 1880 for blank bonds
This was a courteous way of saying
that they would take the bonds at
about 1926 less than par. Still this
would be good offer, considering the
low rate of interest.
The other bid was from Stoddard,
Nye & Co., of Minneapolis, who offered
to take bonds at par and pay premium
of STA 80, and would furnish the blank
bonds for S25. This bid was accom-
panied by certified check for $500.
The firm desired that the bonds be de-
livered at the National Bank of Com.
merce in Minneapolis
The Minneapolis bid is very good
one, and shows that Mankato's credit is
No. 1. 1t was only few years ago
that the United States government
thought that it was floating its bonds
at remarkable low rate of interest
when it put them out at three and a
half per cent. 1t was con-
sidered a bold stroke of financial
policy. Last year the war loan
was foated at three per cent
without any premium. English
consuls draw three per cent inter
est. Papers containing bond advertise
ments show that very few of the smaller
cities offer their bonds at less than four
or five per cent.
The premium offered by Stoddard,
Nye & Co. will pay for the advertise.
ments, new bonds and all other expen-
ses of refunding.
The bonds to be refunded are SIS, 900
of waterworks bonds due Aug. 1st and
drawing u per cent interest, and So, 600
of Minnesota river bridge bonds due
Oct. 1st and drawing five per cent in.
terest The annual interest charge on
these two patches of bonds at present is
81, 525, while the refunding bonds will
draw but 1905 interest, which will be a
saving of $72O year.
What shows best for the city's credit
is the fact that the refunding bonds are
not to be what are known as gold bonds,
but will not specify with what form of
money they will be paid
The bid of Stoddard, Nye & Co. will
no doubt be accepted by the council to-
night. The firm probably represents
some trust concern or savings bank. If
the city had offered higher rate of in
terest there would no doubt have been
more bids received, but not so good an
offer.
Friday afternoon two additional bids
were received as follows:
Dennison, Prior Co., Cleveland, Ohio,
800 premium, accompanied by certified
check of $500.
Rudolph Klegboltd & Co., Cincinnati,
o., 1891 premium, accompanied by GER
titled check for $500.
