NEW KIND OF GLASS.

An Australian inventor is reported
to have succeeded in producing plate
glass for windows which is practically
non conductor Of heat. When a
quarter of an inch thick this glass is
said to allow only per cent of the sun
heat to pass through it, while ordinary
plate glass of the same thickness will
allow 70 per cent to pass. Such nom
conducting glass would shut out solar
heat in summer and keep artificial
heat from radiating outward in win
ter. A glass that is needed in every
family is one filled with "Golden
Grain Belt beer. It is pure and de-
licious, as we'll as nourishing. Order
of your nearest dealer or be supplied
by M. j. Smith, Mankato.

In Nearby Towns.

By the use of skeleton keys several
boys entered the superintendent
Office of the Owatonna high school and
attempted to break into his desk to
get copies of the examination ques-
tions supposed to be there. 1t is said
one of the boys has claimed he could
get into half the business places in the
city, and the Journal says that the
loss of money in several places lead
the police there to believe the boys
have large number of skeleton keys.
At Albert Lea, Mrs. Hannah Simon
son received a verdict of 81, 800 for be-
ing carried by a station where she
wanted to get off, by Minneapolis q
st. Louis train.
The Minneapolis papers have been
taking a vote by mail, of the minis
tiers in Minnesota Swedish Lutheran
conference regarding the removal of
Gustavus Adolphus college from ST.
Peter to Minneapolis and say 80 per
cent of them favored it, if no add
| tional debt would be placed upon the
| institution. The St Peter Journal
says that only about 100 had replied
when the vote was made known, and
| that most of them lived in and tribu-
tary to the twin cities. 1t thinks
the total vote will considerably change
| the result. The Journal also says it
will cost from $500, 900 to $400, 900 to
make the change, which it thinks
will bar it. Here is hoping st. Peter
will keep the institution.

The people of Mankato will hardly
approve of the action of the city
authorities in allowing base ball to be
played at Sibley park on Sunday, as
was the case on last Sunday. There
has been much adverse criticism of
the act, and repetition of the same
will stir up most decided protest.
There are many of our citizens who
desire to take a drive or a walk
through the park on Sundays with
their families who do not have an op-
portunity of going to that beautiful
spot on week days, but they do not
care to take their families there if it
is to be turned into Sunday ball
park The following up of Sunday
base ball there would only be an en-
tering wedge for horse racing or other
like amusements and the beauty and
pleasure of the park would be destroy
ed for a large portion of our citizens.
The city authorities in the past have
refused to encourage or allow anything
of the kind, and it is to be hoped it
will be allowed to go no farther.
Sibley park was not created or i'm
proved for that purpose.
