SLOW PROGRESS.
New Charter to Be Submitted at the
Spring Election.

Progress on the new charter is very
slow. The attorneys who are looking
it over seldom have leisure for the
work at the same time, and it is now
understood to be the intention not to
call special election March LIST to vote
upon it, but to submit it at the regular
spring election. AS it must have four
seventies of all votes cast, and many
will probably not vote either way on it,
it will have to receive very large vote
in order to carry. An arrangement will
be made so that it can go into reflect
later if it should carry, of which many
express doubt.l54 usc.

We have the highest regard for the
medical profession. Our preparations
are not sold for the purpose of antagon-
izing them, but rather as an aid. We
lay it down as an established truth that
internal remedies are positively injuri-
Gus to expectant mothers. The distress
and discomforts experienced during the
months preceding childbirth can be all
leviated only by external treatment-by
applying liniment that softens and re-
lakes the over-strained muscles. We
make and sell such a iniment, COM

hitherto unknown, and call it

WIDELL ADVOCATED.
He is Favored a Candidate for
Mayor.

The city reporter has received letter
signed Business Man, saying that
some of the business men of the city
and the working class very generally
want to see Gus Widell the next mayor
of the city. The writer calls attention
to the fact that anyone who expends as
much money to the working people as
Mr.. Widell does, is worthy of receiving
the honor of themayoralty.
Mr. Widell would make first class
mayor, and if he could be induced to
accept the nomination, he would be a
hard man to defeat.

IN THE VALLEY.
New UIm Cutoff Will Follow the
Second Bench.
One or Two New Stations May bt
Located in the Northern Part of
The County.

Lake Crystal fears that the proposed
railroad direct from Mankato to New
Ulm will injure the trade of that place.
The same is probably true of CORTLAND.
as there is no doubt but that one or two
new villages will be started along
the line of, the road. One will probably
be located in the northern part of Jud
son, due north of Lake Crystal, and will
draw good deal of trade away from
the town by the lakes. Still, Lake Crys-
tai is situated in the center of rich
country, and the loss of little trade to
the north will not affect its prosperity
very materially. CORTLAND will prob
ably suffer the most, as all of the trade
west of the river will go to the new
stations.
The survey which is to be followed is
along the second bench of the Mime
sofa river valley. 1t leaves the Omaha
track near Minneopa creek and averages
about half mile from the river, but
does not follow the curves. A glance
at the map shows that this is almost as
direct route as could be found.
The Lake Crystal Union argues that
the road should take the Omaha track
to that place and then strike across the
prairie to New Ulm, distance of twenty
miles. This would be a roundabout
way, and several miles further than by
going up the river valley The Union
also announces it's intention to fight any
project that does not take the North
western through Lake Crystal. We
fear that Col. Neff is assuming too big
a contract when he pits himself against
the Northwestern railway system, Per-
haps, after Marvin Hughitt has moved
to Mankato, according to information
recently received by Col. Neff, the lat
ter may get the magnate's ear.
