According to writer in the st.
Paul Dispatch, the mean tempera-
ture Of January, 1875, was about %
degrees below zero the coolest
January by nearly seven degrees
which has occurred during the last
II years.
The Gazette Of Jan. % contained
a mention Of the freezing to death
of A. M. Gibbs near Marshall, he
having been caught in a storm while
driving in company with his wife.
They took shelter in the upturned
sleigh box, remaining for day and
night. Mrs. Gibbs recovered.
February 4th THE GAZETTE con-
tanned the following items:
Petitions are in circulation for an
increase of postal service between
Redwood Falls and Marshall. Twice
week is asked for, instead of one
as at present.
There is also petition asking for
the establishment of a postal route
from Redwood Falls, via Three
Lakes, to Lamberton.
The railroad is blockaded west of
New Ulm and is not clear all of the
time east of it. We get mails very
irregularly.
The citizens of Springdale1 have
petitioned the board for county
road from this place to that town.
Judge Hanscombe arrived today
on his way to Yellow Medicine coun-
ty to hold court. He was delayed
by the stormysweather.
Mr.. Chas. Porter spent several
days in town this week. Mr.. Porter
is the most extensive farmer in the
southern portion of our county,
both grain and stock. He has at
present about 400 head of sheep.
The patrons of our postofice may
be amused to read a description Of
the postoffice of that day, as given
by a somewhat indignant citizen:

WELL KNOWN OFFICIAL
IN RACE FOR MAYOR
WILL SEEK NOMINATION BY
REPUBLICANS
Lively Contest Anticipated Between
New Candidate, Who Commands
Large Following, and
Incumbent
Especial to The Herald. !

SAN BERNARDINO. Nov. 7.-Some-
thing of a sensation was caused in
local political circles here today when
1t was announced that S. w. McNabb,
the we'll known under sheriff of this
county, had consented to become a
candidate for the Republican nominal
ton for mayor next spring.
For some days since the national
election the local political pot has been
boiling. Mayor Hanford is a candidate
for denomination and probably will
seek the honor from the Republican
convention, though two years ago he
secured the nomination of both the
Republican and Democratic conven-
tons by capturing both political ma
chimes.
McNabb expects to retire from office
the first of the coming year and enter
law practice. He will contest the NOM
nation with Mayor Hanford, who is
something of a scrapper McNabb is
also a fighter and has hosts of friends,
being prominent in Elk circles. He
was the successful director general of
the festival of the Arrowhead, held in
this city last spring, and q most ca
pable administrative officer. With his
entrance into the field all other can
didates aside from Mayor Hanford
probably will retire.

Ordinance Making 1t Mlsdemeanor to
Leave Any Vehicle on Street
After Certain Hour Will
Be ignored

SANTA ANA, Nov. IA condition
and not a theory confronts the city of
Santa Ana as the result Of an ordin-
ance recently adopted by the council
making ii a misdemeanor to leave any
vehicle, from a bicycle to a touring
car, on any paved street within the
city limits after the hour of o'clock
at night, the object being to facilitate
the work of the street sweeping MAJ
chine.
Violation of the ordinance subjects
the offender to immediate arrest; and
which none has been made, merchants
have gone to the rescue of possible
victims of what is termed blue law
rule by entering vigorous protests
against the action of the board of
trustees in passing an ordinance that
will result in driving prospective pur-
chasers away.
A meeting last night to discuss the
situation resulted in tacit agreement
to allow the ordinance to remain on
the books. but to ignore its presence.
