DESERVE CREDIT.
What the Milwaukee and Great West
ern Roads Have Done.

From Mondays Daily
The Chicago & Northwestern road has
been given credit for its act in donating
1000 and paying an amount equal to a
$500 or $500 assessment for paving
Front street in front of its property,
when the total cost of the pavement of
its property was between 81 800 and ST.
900. 1t is but fair to give credit to the
Milwaukee and Great Western roads for
what they did. They made a contract
for the paving of the lower portion of
jackson street, between their properties,
and ran it to the middle of Pike street
and paid for the whole of it, about 800.
These companies, in proportion, did
more than the Chicago & Northwestern.
Mankato has no complaints to make
about the treatment which it has re-
ceived from any of the roads on the
paving matter.

from TUESDAY $ DAILY.
Madelia. Sept .l2.-The union evan
gelistic meetings being conducted here by
Evangelist Robert +. Johnson and Sing
er Charles H. Gray of Chicago are
greatly deepening i'll interest.
1t was very unexpected and amusing
when on Sunday morning Mr.. Johnson
undertook to raise the balance of the
expense account OF the meetings. He
tackled quarter page advertisement
of the $3.50 prizes offered for the mat
inee races to be given here two days
during the fall, saying he felt certain
that if they had that amount to give
away for two days horse racing he felt
sure they would have at least one sixth
that amount to meet the balance of the
running expenses of the meeting. The
necessary amount was very quickly and
cheerfully raised.
Sunday evening the seating of the
tent was filed and over one hundred
around the outside.
There is Geep and wide conviction over
the entire town and community.
