Will Be Shut Up After April 9th For
Several Weeks.
Notice Was Posted to This Effect
This Morning.
Manager Snyder Requires Time to
Move Furniture Out.
travelling Public Will Be Greatly
Disconnected.
From Tuesdays Daily.

From Tuesdays Daily.
The Saulpaugh is to be closed for 8
period of from three weeks upwards
beginning April 9Th, Manager Snyder
tackled large printed notice to this eff
feet in the rotunda this morning, calling
the attention of his patrons to the fact
that the hotel is to be closed.
The notice states that Mr. Snyder's
lease expires on April 30th, and, being
unable to dispose of the furniture and
fixtures to his successor, he is compelled
to moye them out. In order to have
sufficient time to pack and move them,
the Saulpaugh will be closed for the en-
tertainment of guests, on Monday, April
9th, after breakfast.
As Mr.. Snyder retains the hotel until
May lst, it will be closed until that time
at The earliest, and for as long a period
after that time as Mr.. Kent will require
to refurnish the house.
The closing of the big hotel for some
weeks will work hardship on the ira
yelling public that have been accustomed
to the kind of accommodations furnished
by the Saulpaugh. The house has
seventy five rooms, and cares for at least
that many guests every night. Where
these will find rooms is mystery. Some
can be accommodated at the other hotels,
but first class and even second class ac-
commodations will not go around for so
many. people. Then, again, sample rooms
will have to be secured.
The people of Mankato will begin To-
appreciate what the hotel is to it, if they
do not already.
During the time that the hotel will De
closed, the United States court is to con
vene, and also the annual dental conven
ton. 1t may be that both of these will
be postponed until after the hotel has
opened under the new management
April trade is always heavy, and any
extra meetings like these overflow the
house. Citizens generally will sincerely
regret that the house will have to be
closed.

OH, CHEESE IT.


From Mondays Daily.
The following is from a Grand Forks
n. d., paper:
1.-THE Mankato, Minnesota. normal
school is to be discontinued. and the
building is to be utilized for a cheese
factory and dairy. Think, of turning out
hamburger cheese instead of teachers .
The school would be turning out pretty
dairy maids instead of talented school
ma'ams, brother. The Free Press will
get out an injunction if any thing but full
cream cheeses are to be. made. 1t draws
the line on LimbuageE.

The stand taken by the gun club will

its provisions, although all right II
