This is the title of a 24-page folder,
recently issued by the Burlington

introduction, nine letters from resi-

experiences since they settled in
Nebraska.
The letters make it clear that the

stout heart can, in the course of a few
years, be independent of landlords.

I. MANY OPERATIONS.
Successful Work of Local Surgeons at
st. Joseph's Hospital.

The nurses and physicians have been
very busy at ST. Joseph's hospital the
last ten days. There have been num-
Der Of operations, and some requiring
great skill and care for their successful
performance. Especial mention is
made Of patient from Cottonwood
county who had large tumor of the
neck. which had grown to so large a
size that it filled the side of the neck
from the lower jaw to the collar bone
and pushed the windpipe to the OPP
posite side, so that it was difficult for
the man to breathe or swallow. This
was successfully removed, and the
patient is making rapid recovery.
Another patient, from Pipestone
county, had large double goiter re-
moved. This had grown to such a size
that it embarrassed respiration and
threatened his life. Another patient
from an adjoining county was operated
upon for cure of hernia. She is doing

Mankato now has as good a h ospi
tai and as we'll equipped as any place in
the northwest, and patients entering
st. Joseph's hospital receive the best of
care and attention 1t is quite unneces-
sary for patients in and about Mankato
to elsewhere for surgical operations or
hospital treatment. We have ply 81
clans that keep abreast with their pro-
fession and are as competent to do good
work as physicians elsewhere. They
spend their money at home, and it is
only fair to them and the Sisters who
have done so much for Mankato that
our own people should patronize our
own hospital, especially as they can re-
ceive as good service here as they can
any where.

Above All Others.

One there is above all others,
Well deserves the name of friend;
His is love beyond brothers.
Costly, free and knows no end.
Which of all our friends to save us,
Could or would have shed his blood?
But the Saviour died to have us
Reconciled in him to God.
When he lived on earth abased,
Friend of Sinners was his name.
Now, above all glory raised,
He rejoices in the same.
Oh for grace our hearts to soften;
Teach US, Lord, at length to love;
We alasi forget too often,
What a friend we have above.

While yet my hands are here employed.

IT IS RESTORED.
E. II. Roche's Saloon License is
Reinstated.
Promises of Strict Observance of the
Law in the Future Bring Favor.
able Action.

The council on Saturday night voted
to restore the liquor license of e. IL.
Roche, Inc, four votes being cast in
favor of it, and Aids. Meyer and Weed
being absent. Mayor Currier presided.
The special meeting had been called
for this purpose alone, and no other
business was transacted.
City Recorder Williams read the
mayors order revoking the license.
City Attorney Daley took the floor
and said that he had been talking with
the aldermen and majority had
thought it unnecessary to bring evil
dence and investigate the matter again,
as a meeting had been held during the
week at which the matter had been
gone over. The council was familiar
with all the phases of the case, and the
aldermen present were as capable of
acting as they would be if evidence
were to be introduced.
The mayor said that the matter was
before the council.
S. B. Wilson, attorney for Mr.. Roche,
spoke in behalf of his client. He said
that he did not care to go into the evil
dence or make any extended remarks.
Very probably the saloon had been run
open after twelve o'clock. Mr..
Zweight, who has charge of the saloon,
requests the council to reinstate the

assure the council that the violation of
the ordinance would not occur again,
but that it would be lived up to. If the Ii
cense is not restored it means loss of
nearly 81, 900 to Mr.. Roche and suffer
ing for Mr. weights large family. He
hoped that the mayor would not object
to reinstating the license, but would
give the saloon one more trial. He
would not appear before. the council
making this request a second time, if
the law should not be lived up to.
Aid. Deebach favored giving the firm
one more chance, and thought that it
would live up to the law. He moved
that the license be reinstated.
Aid. Jordan said that Mr..
Zweight was a fair minded man.
Zweight has been living in the west,
where the laws are not as strictly en-
forced as here. He had given the assur-
ance that he would hereafter live up to
the law. If he violates it again, the
alderman said that he would not again
vote to reinstate the license.
The motion was then carried, the
four aldermen who were present cast
ing their votes for it,
Mayor Currier said that this action
of thescouncil was not unexpected on
his part. He desired to state publicly
as he had done at the private meeting
that he had no personal feeling in the
matter. Numerous complaints had
been made to him of this saloon, and
some complaints against other saloons,
The majority of the saloon keepers in
tend to live up to the law, but there
are some who have not. Mr.. Zweight
was the first man against whom suffi-
Gent evidence had been secured, but
there are few others against whom
evidence is being collected. He did
not care to do an injustice, and would
treat all fairly and all alike, without
fear or favor.
The council adjourned.

POLITICAL POINTERS.
State Central Committeeman Funk fa
vors Present Plan of Representation.

w. A. Funk went to Minneapolis
Monday to attend the banquet of the
Lincoln club that night. He attended a
meeting of the state central committee
Tuesday morning, at which the dates
of both state conventions were fixed.
The matter of representation was also
brought up and decided. Mr.. Funk
favored the present plan of giving each
county five delegates at large, claiming
that the country counties are even then
at disadvantage through the incon-
venience of consultation, which is so
easy for the counties with large dele
cations.
Geo. w. Norman's friends are &C.
lively talking him for representative in
his part of the county. He would
prove strong candidate.
G. h Dietz, of Mapleton, was in the
city two or three days ago, and stated
that he would not be candidate for
county treasurer this year.
1t is said that Lewis Davis is likely
to come out for county treasurer this
year. He has been deputy for several
terms.
