OYERDRAFT CLEARED UP
City's Financial Condition Trifle
Improved.

Municipal financial matters have
looked up somewhat during the past
week. The troublesome overdraft has
been cleared away, settlements being
made with the numerous smaller cred
itOrs, and $500 in interest paid, while
the owners of the $l0,000 bonds have
consented to hold them over for an
other year. There is, of course, very
little cash with which to run the city
but money enough can be borrowed to
keep things moving.
At the close of business on May 31st
the city's overdraft amounted to

Fireworks in Fifth Inning Did the
Business.
Pitcher Dotson Given His Bumps
Unmercifully.

Pitcher Dotson, only a season or
two ago candidate for league hon.
ors, was let down with an awful jar in
the game between New Ulm and San
born Sunday afternoon. Mr.. Dotson
was given his bumps in the fifth round
and five clean Texas-leaguers gave the
locals quite enough runs to win. 1t
was a case of no quarter and five
Brewers had scampered around the
circuit before the Sanborn slab-artist
returned from his aerial excursion.
Sundays contest was one that
pleased the spectators, as it was any
body's game up to the ninth. For the
first three innings neither side scored
but in the fourth Spaeth passed San
born man to first on balls and then
the slaughter started The Brewers
WED with each other in Juggling the
horsehide and when the smoke finally
cleared away the visitors had four to
their credit. 1t was disheartening
performance but the New Ulm twirler
did not share in it, as only one
scratch hit was obtained off him.
With this lead to overcome New
Ulm went to bat in their half and after
two men were out Dotson passed
Rauschke. Schneider reached first or
a fielder's error, Rauschke scoring,
and a minute later the short-stop tai
lied on Bierbaum S hit; score, to 2
It was in the next frame, however
that the locals really got busy. The
first one DOtson served up looked
good to Burmeister He sent it into

was Oh. All Of the Brewers were there

Rates to Summer School.

This paper has received circular
from President G. Fl. Cooper of the
Mankato Normal school, calling at
tention to the fact that special rail
way rates have been granted for the
state summer school which will be
held in Mankato from June Goth until
July 30th. President Cooper states
that the reduced rates have been
allowed by the Western Passenger
association on condition that tickets
be purchased between June 10th and
22d. Each purchaser must secure a
receipt when he buys his tickets. If
there are one hundred certificates from
points from which the one-way fare is
at least fifty cents, return rate OF
one-third will be given.

Almost LIBERAL OFFER.
The Minneapolis Times Will Distribute Honey
to Successful Contestants

SIS, 900. in Free Cash Prizes. 500 Prizes in All.
We notice in recent issue of the
Minneapolis Times thatthe progressive
Twin City Daily has inaugurated a
popular voting contest for the benefit
of subscribers and their friends. 1t is
termed "The Great Profit Sharing
Contest" and both old and new sub
scribers may enter upon the same
condition.
The subject matter of the interesting
contest in which the large cash prizes
will be paid is the Total Popular Vote
to be cast for President of the United
States on the Sth day of November,
1904. It seems to US that every man,
woman and child of the United States
should be interested in the greatest
election the country has ever had. It
costs nothing to enter the Times con-
test as every cent paid is applied on
subscription. We would suggest that
our readers secure copy of the Daily
or Sunday Times containing the list
of prizes which are offered. Any OF
the prizes are fortunes in themselves
and surely would be acceptable by
residents of this community.

the prophecy, sketched bright futures
for the members of the class of 1904.
An GRAFTON, America Boast,
was very ably given by Arthur Deng-
Ter. He paid tribute to the high
places occupied by American instltu-
tons when compared with those OF the
world and declared that this country s
boast could be that out of the hetero-
geneous collection of nationalitles
gathered here there had emanated a
spirit destined to triumph and con-
uuer. He was followed by Miss Lou
ise Fl. Jahnke, the valedictorian, who
spoke on the subject: tour Schools. =
| In the course of this she cited the fact
that Minnesota now appropriates more
money for educational purposes than
! any state in the Union, with the pos

by extending thanks to the faculty,

friends of the graduates.
