HENRY MOHR DEAD.
A Former City Treasurer Passes Away
Friday Morning.

Henry Mohr died at his home at 101
Adams street at few minutes before
four o'clock Friday. He had been
sick for some time, and his death was
due to jaundice. He was born in Ger
many and came to this country when
nineseen years old, locating in Mankato
in 1860. He was married the same year
to Miss Gertrude Fronert, who survives
him, as also do four of their eight
children. Geo. H. Mohr, of Ellsworth
Mimi, and Chas. H., Hannah D. and
Edward j. Mohr, Of this city.
Mr. Mohr was blacksmith by trade
and was for years engaged in the hard
ware and machine business. He was city
treasurer some years ago and always
took an interest in the welfare of the
city He was we'll liked by all who
knew him, and his death will cause
much regret.
The funeral occurred at two o'clock
Sunday afternoon from the house, I'm
der the auspices of the A. 0. .. W., of
which order he was member.

NEARLY $4,000.
The City Treasury Replenished and More
Notes Can be Paid.

City Recorder Williams has drawn
from the county treasury the amount
of taxes due the city on the June
settlement, less the delinquent tax
which will probably amount to So, 900
to 81, 900. The total amount drawn
out today was $24, S67. 50. Mr. Will
liams has apportioned the various
funds as follows:
Current, So, 979 49, road, Sc, 2O4. SO ;
interest, So, 552. 10; road, 81, 1888. SO ;fH
library, 1899 '03 bills payable, So, 247 81 F;
sinking, 81, 556 As; sprinkling, 1854 90
This leaves all of the funds out of
debt. The bills payable on April 1st,
1899, otherwise known as the float
ing Indebtedness, were $57, 72S. 03, but
today they float up to only $40, 668. 03.
This is reduction of $12, 060 since
the present administration took hold of
the affairs of the city The bills pay
able will be still further reduced by
taking up notes with the money levied
for the purpose, So, 247.S1, and the
money in the sinking fund can also
be used for the same purpose.

THE CENSUS MATTER.
A Supplementary Report Should be Sent
in if Possible.

The fear has been expressed that the
census will show a falling off from the
state census in 1895, and some of the
enumerators have been blamed for laxity
in the performance OF their duties. The
enumeration for the Fourth ward, where it
is said that there is falling off of 200
names, states that he does not think that
he missed more than four families, or an
aggregate of fifteen or twenty names. He
states that he made a careful canvass of
the ward within the boundaries furnished
him by the city engineer. He found a
great many vacant rooms over stores,
which it is presumed were filled five years
ago. The Union block had more inhabi-
tants at that time, also.
Extra efforts were made five years ago to
get full showing of the population, in
order to bring it above the 1000 mark,
and great many names were secured
through citizens committees. This was
not done this year. it being taken for
granted that considerable increase in
populatich would be shown
That Mankato has grown in the last five
years there is no reason to doubt, and if a
supplementary report can be sent in it
should be done.

LITERARY NOTES.

AS an ex-committee woman, Martha
Baker Dunn in the July Atlantic tells
many wholesome and some unpalat-
able truths as to the general misman-
agement of educational problems, the
often disheartening treatment of pub
lie school teachers, and the conscience
less demands generally, if not univer-
sally, made upon them. The slightly
humorous tone which pervades the
article makes it easy and attractive
reading, while it is none the less out
spoken and emphatic as to the need of
reform for many crying evils.
"James J. Hill, a Builder of the
Northwest, - is the subject of an inter
esting character sketch of the presi-
dent of the Great Northern railroad
by Mrs. Mary Hartman Severance, In
the Review of Reviews for June. The
achievements of this remarkable rail
road genius are apperciatively describ-
ed in this article.

THE MAD DOG SCARE.

The Decoria correspondent of the
Mapleton Enterprise has the following
additional regarding the mad dog
scare, of which mention was made last
week:
The panic caused by the mad dog
scare is constantly increasing as the
results of his work keep developing.
Last Wednesday Mr.. Veigalt shot one
of his COWS worth $45 that was mad.
The COW began believing and acting
very strange Tuesday, and he tied her
to tree with chain. She refused to
eat or drink Wednesday morning she
began frothing at the mouth and act
ing very much the same as the one Mr..
Prang shot few days before, so he
had Fred Half shoot her. Mr.. Veigalt' S
other cow was bitten but the wounds
have all healed and the COW is all right
as yet although he expects her to be-
come mad at any time, and is watch
ing her very closely.
Mr.. Barch, of Rapidan, the man who
shot the dog, didn't know his cows
were bitten and was using the milk.
Wednesday night Mrs. Barch MIXED
one of the COWS and gave the children
some of the milk to drink The COW
kept believing all the evening, but
they thought nothing of that as they
had heard nothing about the cows that
had been killed. Thursday morning
Mr.. Veigalt went over to Mr.. Barch S
and as soon as he saw the COW he told
them she was going mad. They tied
her to a tree with chain. She would
Jump at anything that came near her,
would snap at the leaves on the trees
like a dog and jumped and charged
around the tree until she broke her
neck Mr.. Barch was alarmed about
the children drinking the milk and
sent for DOCTOR who sent some of the
milk away to have it analysed. Mr.
Hosber had three hogs, A. W. Ander
son a two year old heifer and Mr..
Brown had cat go mad, all of which
have been killed. Mr.. knott had a
cow bitten but it was all right at last
reports. Mr. Hosber, who had
a cut on his hand and got some of
the blood on it, was quite badly
frightened over what the results
might be- Iona Griffin of Lyra, had
a horse bitten which went mad and
was shot Sunday.
John Bohke's dog went mad, chew
ed the rope he was tied with, and was
shot by Mr. Herzberg several miles
from home People hardly dare trust
their own dogs, so most of them have
been tied up.

REFUSES TO GIVE UP.

Geo. Gerlich, who resided in this
county up to fourteen years ago, but
who has for several years been custo-
dian of the joint court house and city
hall at st. Paul, is making the Demo-
cratic politicians in ST. Paul do some
figuring. By party vote of four to
three the committee decided this week
to remove him, passing a resolution
to that effect He was summoned to
appear before the committee to receive
his formal discharge, but declined to
appear 1t was intimated that he will
refuse to surrender the Office or the
keys to the building. Mr.. Gerlich is
a brother of Sheriff Gerlich and of
Barney Gerlich, of this city.

CROPS LOOKING WELL.
AS Large Crop as Last Year and of
Good Qualify.

D, CDavis took drive through the
eastern part of Blue Earth county and
into Waseca county Thursday, and
found the crops looking finely. He
drove over of the territory ten days
ago, and there has been a wonderful
Improvement in the condition of the
crops during this time. Mr.. Davis is
of the opinion that the crops in that
section, at least, will be as good as
they were last year. The straw will
be much less, but this will make the
crop less expensive to harvest, and will
also prevent rust and bugs. The
quality of the grain will for these rea-
sons be better, if hot winds do not come.
Sheriff Gerlach, who has driven over
the county a great deal, believes that
the crops will be as good as they
were last year in this section. He
reports that in general they are looking
fairly well.

ROBBED BY TRAMPS.

A stranger giving the name of James
Forrall complained to the police Friday
night that he had been robbed of $13.
The affair occurred between eight and
nine o'clock in the evening near the
Chicago Great Western depot. For
rails account of the affair was that he
was followed by several tramps, who
set upon him and pounded and robbed
him. He displayed cut back of one
ear to substantiate the story. The
tramps had been having key of
beer The tramps had flown.

the shipment has been selling very

1t is said that wild mustard is grow

at one of the quarries and claims that

sides the officers, but the thief escaped
The officials have found it difficult to
trace the thieves. Sheriff Gerlach and

ance and at their own expense, have
given the thieves who stole Hockey &
McKinley's team warm chase. Mr.
Gerlach went up into the big woods
this week again, but his trip was
without result.
