cally held his own. In the sixth, Tay-
lor got liz votes two years ago, and
lO4 this year, and Meyer got SO two
years ago and rs this year. Both lost
about equally.
1t will be seen from this that Meyer
made slight gains in the first and sec.
ond wards, held his own in the third
and fell back very slightly in tine three
upper wards. On the other hand, Tay-
Tor lost considerably in the second and
very lightly in the first and sixth and
held his own in the third and made
rather large gains in the fourth and
fifth wards. Upon the whole, the vote
received by the two candidates did not
very much from two years ago. The
Standard Brewing company always
claimed that if the republicans" would
make good in the upper wards it would
see that Meyer got enough democratic
votes i'm the lower wards to elect him.
1t delivered the goods, but the upper
wards failed to make good for Meyer,
and hence his defeat. While reference
mas been made to the Standard Brewing
company, it would be more proper to
say members of the company, for the
company itself took no action as such,
so far as is known. The members had
their reasons for opposing the reelection
of Mayer Taylor, and their work can be
seen in the result of the voting.
The democrats will be able to organ
ize the council, elect city attorney, and
hold all of the appointive offices. AS
chairman of the democratic city COM
mittee, City Attorney Daley will nat
urally be rewarded with reelection. 1t
is not thought likely That any changes
will be made in the appointive offices.
The total number of ballots cast was
1905, as compared with 2,Ol6 two years
ago. Mr.. Taylor received 1852 votes
and Meyer 9s7, as against 1000 and 96l
two years ago. Mr.. Taylor gained 81
and Mr.. Meyer 26.
The new charter failed to carry be-
cause it did not have four-sevenths of
all of the votes cast. 1t received 906
votes to 1893 against, but four.sevenths
of zoos votes is 1893. Had the charter
been submitted on a separate ballot
it would have been overwhelmingly
adopted. This shows that the people
want new charter.
The following is the result of the
voting:

I: INQUIRY INTO OLD CLEWs.
Detectives Are Gathering Evidence
for the Defense.

New Ulm, Mimi, April 5.-Detective
Chandler, accompanied by two other en-
ployes of the Thiel agency in st. Paul,
arrived in New Ulm Monday afternoon.
He is retained by the defence in the
Koch murder case and has made fire.
quent trips to this city, securing addi-
tional evidence for the trial in Manka-
to.
Chandler and his assistants were driv-
en- over the road between this city and
Mankato to investigate as to the coat
and trousers picked up by a farmer a
few miles south of this city the morn
ing after the murder. The farmer who
found the articles says they were lying
by the roadside and had the appearance
of having been thrown away by some
one travelling along the highway.
The theory advanced is that the MUIR
derer escaped from the authorities the
evening of the crime and boarded a
freight train at some of the smaller
stations between this city and Mankato.
In fact, stranger was seen the follow
ing morning after the murder in the
railroad yards at Mankato, and it is
known that he rode freight train from
this city. He was not apprehended and
the defense is working upon the theory
that he might have been the murderer.
Chandler and his assistants will remain
in New Ulm and vicinity several days.

Receive a Large Supply From
the Northern Mills.
They Are Also Building a Large
Sales Barn.
Up to Date Building, to Hold One
Hundred Teams.

From Fridays Daily.
Alderman Mckinley returned last
night from the northern part of the
state, where he purchased large guam
tity of lumber. He and George w.
Monks have gone into partnership, and
under the firm name of Monks & Nc
Kinley will open lumber yard on Lib
erty street. Seven carloads of lum-
Der have arrived, and are being unload
ed today. The firm will be independent
of the lumber trust, and will fill the
place left vacant in this respect by
Neil Cook. Every line and grade of
lumber commonly found in lumber
yard will be carried.
Monks & Mckinley will also open
large sales stable. They are now erect.
ing barn on Liberty street, west of
Front, 60 by 100 feet, two stories high,
and will erect another smaller one d.
rectly back of it. These will be con-
structed of frame, with sheet iron on
the outside, made and painted to imi-
tate stone The larger barn will con.
tain sixty single STALLS and several
double ones, and the capacity will be
one hundred teams. 1t is proposed to
make Mankato point for the sale of
horses that will be second only to the
Twin Cities.
The barn is being built in thorough.
ly up to date manner, with cement
floor and sewerage for each stall, the
same as at the central fire station. Hay
and feed will be stored on the. second
floor. The barn will cost upwards of
$4,000.
the firm will take horses to board,
and will also take in farmers teams by
the day the same as feed stables. This
barn viii greatly increase the facili-
ties of the city in this respect. 1t has
often been the case that farmers could
find no place to put their teams.
An office for the lumber yard win
be constructed in the sales barn.
Messrs. Monks and Mckinley are
both we'll known and enterprising citi-
zens and good business men, and that
they will make success of their large
double undertaking there is no room for
doubt.

SOUTHERNER's GOOD FORTUNE.
Sam Hoover Finds Something Better
Than Gold Mines.

Ildu IUlu NUluCS.
There is no happier man in this whole
wide world today than Sam A. Hoover,
of Greensboro, N. c., who is receiving
the congratulations of his friends upon
his fortunate find of something better
than gold mines or oil WELL Mr. Hoover
in a letter to friend in Mankato
writes:
"Tnree months ago was greatly dis
tressed by nasal catarrh and entire
deafness in the right ear. The labor of
hawking and scraping to get my throat
and nasal passages free from the foul
secretions deposited there, might be
about equal to that of six mule team
with a road scraper to get the earth
from the roadside to the center.
1 purchased an outfit of Hyomei and
Hyomei balm, and as a result of its
use my head, throat and nasal passages
are all free from secretions of any sort,
only as Nature designed, and my hear
ing in both ears is nearly as acute as
it ever was"
There is no disagreeable stomach dos
ing in using Hyomei; just breathe it
and it's pure fragrance will kill the
catarrhal germs in the head, throat and
lungs. Hyomei balm used in connec
ton with Hyomei, will cure the worst
case of catarrhal deafness.
The complete outfits costs but 81, and
extra bottles are only so cents. Ask
A. G.. Lack & Co. to show you the
strong guarantee under which they sell
Hyomei. 1t costs nothing unless it
cures.
