easily corrected, but men persist in
criticizing with unbecoming language and
threats. If the people would work in har-
mony with the council better results
could be obtained.
An experience meeting followed. Al
derman Leonard was the next to feel tha
spirit move, and he thanked all the city
officials for their assistance and the
reporters for courteous treatment ac-
corded. He had tried to do the best he
could, and if he had failed he wished to
be forgiven.
Alderman Wilcox thanked his brother
aldermen, the mayor, and all the city
officials for the way they had treated
him. They had gotten along very
smoothly-mo SO than previous coun-
ellis.
Alderman Taylor thanked the mayor
council and board OF public works fol
the harmonious work of the last two
years. 1t seemed as though all had tried
to pull together for the best interests OF
the city He only hoped that he would
get along as well with the next coun-
ell.
Alderman Eichstaedt thanked the coun-
ell, mayor and city officials, and said
that he thought that they had gotten
along very nicely. As the mayor had
once remarked, it was "a kind of good
natured gang, and all were too feshy
for arguments"
Alderman Deebach thanked the mayor
and city officials for their assistance dur
ing their term of office, and also the re
porters. He hoped that the new council
and mayor would worN together as har-
moniously as the present ones.
Alderman Heinze was 1.-The last but not

many times for entering the little star

the efficient city attorney, who had
given the council good advice, also the
city recorder and city officials.
City Attorney Daley was called on
and said that it made him sorry to see
this breaking up of family ties, as it
were. Some mistakes had been made,
but he thought that as a whole it was
a model council, and was one that it
would be well for Others to pattern after.
Alderman Heinze moved that vote
of thanks be extended to the mayor for
his very efficient rulings OF the past
two years. This was carried unanimous
ly by rising vote.
Mayor Petersen said that he had for
gotten to thank the police and other de-
partments of the city, and also the news
papers, which had treated him kindly
during the past two years.
The bills were allowed, and the council
adjourned.

ASSISTS A STRANGER.
From Saturdays Daily.

From Saturdays Daily.
A stranger suffering from consump-
ton called on Health Officer Hielscher
today for relief, saying that his home
is in Wisconsin, but that he had been
to Colorado. He had no money, and the
health officer took him to the city hall
with the recommendation that he be
taken to st. Joseph's hospital. County
Commissioner Paddock was summoned,
but concluded that the man was tramp,
and thought that the best way would be
to purchase him ticket taking him to-
ward Wisconsin.

EXCITING SPELLING CONTEST
West Mankato Young Folks Indulge
in Pleasant Match Last Night.
From Saturdays Daily.

In spite of the unfayorable weather a
large number of people gathered at the
West Side church last evening to listen
to the spelling contest between the Sun
day school classes, viz; The Light Bear
ers and the BARGAINS.
The program was opened with piece
of instrumental music by Miss Long,
and followed by two songs by Mr.. and
Miss Long. all of which were heartily
applauded After a few remarks by
Mrs. Long, in regard to rules and regu-
lations. the classes formed in lines. Mrs.
Enge. Mrs. Prescott, and Mr.. Long act
ed as Judges, while Mrs. Barker pro
nounced the words The contest was in
teresting from the first and became ex-
ceedingly SO as it progressed. The first
part was very even considering that the
young ladies outnumbereed the young
men by several, and that several of the
former are in school at present, while
only one of the latter is.
As the match proceeded the BARGAINS
gradually dropped out until only three
opposed the twelve Light Bearers.
These three held their own very well and
managed to see five of the Lights" ex-
tinguished while they only lost two. For
quite while the sides stood one to
seven, but one by one the Bearers"
for some reason withdrew their lights,
until the floor was occupied by one
Baracan only As whole the Light
Bearers" did much the better spelling
and are to be complimented for the grace
in which they met their defeat The
Baracans wish to remind the young
ladies that there was rumor of the
victors being entertained.
At the high school building on Thurs
day afternoon classes from the Frank
lin and Union contested with the Pleas
ant Grove and West Mankato schools
in spelling match. The south end
schools were victorious.
