SHORT OF MONEY.
Bills Allowed by Council Last Night
Cleans Up the Treasury.

From Saturdays Daily.
The city's finances are running close
to the reefs these days. The city re-
corder last night reported to the coun-
ell that there was on May lst a net
balance of $S,555.25 in the treasury
of which $6,045 is invested to meet
water bonds when they come due. Since
May LIST $1,000 had been received from
liquor licenses, thus making $4,000 avail
able to pay bills. The bills allowed by
the council last night will take about
every dollar of this money. Five weeks
will elapse before the June settlement
money will come from the county treas
ury.
Arrangements have been made with
the banks to carry the city along, and
some of the orders allowed last night
will not be drawn. The pay roll alone
was over $1,000. Under this condition
of the city's finances, it makes it neces
sary for the strictest economy to , be
exercised by the council, if any perman
ent street improvements are to be made
No expense should be incurred that is
not absolutely necessary.

SEEKS DAMAGES.
Mrs. KotthOff Sues Miss 0'Heirn Very
Promptly for $500.

From Saturdays Daily.
Mrs. Ursula Kotthoff and her husband,
George A. Kotthoff, today commenced a
damage suit against Miss Katherine
O'Heirn, the dressmaker, to recover $500.
The action was started in the district
court, and H. L. & j. w. Schmitt are
the attorneys for Mrs. Kotthoff and hus-
band
1t appears that Miss O'Heirn rents the
house at 2l5 South Second street, and
subleases some of the rooms to Mr..
and Mrs. Kotthoff, a young couple. The
complaint alleges that yesterday Miss
O'Heirn entered the rooms of her ten
ants while Mrs. Kotthoff and her five
year old son were there alone and COM
menced to search the rooms and used
insulting and abusive language toward
the plaintiff and accused her of different
things that the defendant says are en-
tirely untrue. Furthermore, the COM
plant says that the defendant threaten
ed to put the plaintiff out of the house
and when she went out she locked the
hall door to the rooms occupied by the
plaintiff. Wherefore the plaintiff asks
for damages, because of the shock, etc.

FOSTERS BULLETIN.
The Kind Of Weather Predicted BY the
Washington Man.
From Saturdays Daily.

riou SATURDAY bdly.
st. Joseph, Mo-, May THE last
bulletin gave forecasts of disturbance to
cross the continent May 0 to Is, warm
wave May to II, cool wave May ii to
Is. The net disturbance will reach the
Pacific coast about May Is, cross west
of the Rockies by close of May Is, great
central valleys May II to 10, eastern
states May 20. A warm wave will cross
west of the Rockies about May 10, great
central valleys May II, eastern states
May 20. A cool wave will cross west
of the Rockies about May Is, great CEN
trail valleys May 20, eastern states May
%.
This disturbance will bring what is
known in meteorology as an inversion.
The cool wave will pass through the
southern, the warm wave through the
northern states and Canada During its
passage across the continent tempera-
lures will be higher in the northern tier
of states and Canada than in mid -lati-
tudes and southern states. Frosts may
be expected in the mid latitude sections
along latitude 40 and very cool south
about May Is. Then, as the warm wave
comes into the southern states-about
May l9 on meridian 90-a decided cold
wave will push across the northern
states and Canada, causing frosts and
freezing temperatures. The cold wave
that will reach meridian 80 not farm
from May 81 will be general carrying
frosts as far south as frosts sometimes
occur at that season.
That cold wave will increase in in
tensity as it nears the eastern parts of
the continent and will be bad for grow
ing crops, gardens, outdoor flowers, ETC.
This warning will enable gardeners to
protect their tender vegetation and the
women to care for their exposed plants.
Storms will increase in force to
large extent near May %, more de-
tailed account of which will appear in
my next bulletin.
Rains will largely increase from May
IL to %, on most parts of the continent
and drouths, in some places, will at the
same time, become more intense. Drouth
sections will not be extensive. Rains,
during the period mentioned, will be
very extensive.

WAS LATE SPRING.
A. {. Barney Landed in Mankato
Forty seven Years AGO Ted y.
-
From SATURDAYS Daily.


A. c. Barney came to Mankato forty
seven years ago today. He stepped off
of the steamer albany" from st. Paul.
but he had come from Chautauqua coun-
ty, New York, with the intention of Sc
curing a farm, having been raised on
farm. He was a young man, single,
and sought health as well as wealth.
That he found health is shown by his
hearty appearance now.
The day after Mr.. Barney landed there
was a snow storm. On the 23d day of
May, he took up his claim in section
five, Vernon Center. The trees were then
as brown as in winter, and no leaves
were to be seen except on few early
varieties in sunny, sheltered places.
That was an exceptionally late spring,
but it did not discourage the settlers,
who took things as they came, whether
they were billiards or Indians, or high
water or grasshoppers.

success is his economy, not only of
, money, but of time as well. 1t is said
that the Great Northern is the most eco
nomically run railroad in the United
States. Employees are trained in the best
and most frugal methods. Mr.. Hill runs
his business like an autocrat. His word
is law. He has an intimate knowledge
of the details of the running of his road,
knowledge that fills the ordinary man
with astonishment. 1t is said that he
knows the strength of every locomotive
belonging to his company. He is partic-
ular indeed about the kind of men that
his company employees. He often dis
charges men without any apparent cause
whatever. He knows just what sort of
men he wants The other railroad COM
panies recognize Mr.. Hill's judicious dis
elimination in choosing employees, and
the same care that he exercises per-
meates every department of the great
system of which he stands at the head.
Any person who has worked for the
Great Northern Railroad company for
any considerable length of time finds it
comparatively easy to obtain employ
ment from the other railroad companies.
Even before growing to manhood, Mr..
Hill was a great hand to economize
his time. He was always a great read
er and during all of his spare time he
would store away into his capacious
Uranium knowledge that he thought
would some day stand him in good stead.
His knowledge of all possible topics of
conversation is wonderful. He can con-
verse ably and entertainingly on any
famous picture or work of art. His
own private art gallery shows his ac-
quaintance with what is excellent among
the products of the paletttes and brushes
of all countries.
Mr.. Hill has not overlooked the fact
that he must provide for the carrying
after his death of the great burden that
he has borne so long. He has educated
two sons with this purpose in view.
Rev. Shellenberger closed with quo
tation from the same parable that he cit
ed in the early part of his sermon, the
principle of which parable he deemed
well illustrated in the life of Mr.. Hill:
''To him that hath shall be given, and
from that hath shall not be taken even
that which he hath"
