MANKATO DRY SUNDAY.
Saloons Were Closed Both Front ar d
Rear.

Sunday was very dry Sunday in
Mankato, so dry in fact that glass of
beer was not to be had from one end of
Front street to the other. The only
way to get it was to procure a room at
hotel and order it by the bottle. For
the first time in years, all of the
saloons were closed front and rear The
saloon keepers have too much invested
in their licenses to run the chance of
having them revoked for disobeying the
Sunday closing law. All were treated
alike, and the saloon keepers and bar
tenders had day of rest that was very
welcome to the most of them.
Chief Bruels is takingshold like an
old hand, and his administration gives
promise of being successful one.

Report Unfavorably Received.

The park committee recommended
that the park superintendent be per-
mitted to plant trees in the streets for
private parties at So each, and recon-
mended that an ordinance be prepared
placing the boulevards under the care
of the park commissioner.
Aid. Meyer did not favor the citys'
going into the tree planting business
and running the chance of collecting.
He thought the citizens ought to have
pride enough to plant their own trees.
Aid. Jordan did not favor it, even if
the fee could be collected, because the
superintendent should give his entire
time to the parks and to the men under
him.
Mayor Currier thought that the idea
of the committee was to secure uni
formity. 1t was not intended to plant
trees except when property owners
wanted them. The matter was refer
red back to the park committee.
A resolution was adopted, granting
the Modern Woodmen the exclusive
right to erect booths and an enclosure
under the direction of the park superin-
tendent, to be removed Immediately

estimating the expenses at $1,1OO. The
entire expense can be assessed on the

having granted building permits to
Harlin Bros. and Phil Lease and an
area permit to Martha Brandt
City Recorder Williams reported that
Expert Donaldson would arrive the first
of next week, to examine the books.

neer confer with the officials of the

which requires the road to fill the streets
vacated to the full width. This was
was carried.
The bonds of VIM. Olmstead and
James Morrow as policemen were ap-
proved.

A FARMERS BARN.
One May be Built on Cherry
Street.

la. Pelton, who is once more owne Z
of the Minneopa House property, offers
to build big farmers barn in case a
bonus of $3.50 is raised among the bust
ness men in the vicinity. He proposes
to put up building 70 by 70 feet, on
the alley, at cost of $4,000. 1t ought
to be an easy matter to raise the
money, as such barn is what the bust
ness men there have been wanting for
a long time. The south part of the city
has not been very we'll supplied with
barns since the fires two or three years
ago. With such barn as is proposed,
