The Commercial club held meet
ing Friday evening, October 18th, in
their club rooms for the purpose of
electing officers for the coming year.
Mr.. Isaac Hird was elected president,
Rev. Wendt, vice-president; George
Deter, secretary; Edw. Theobold,
treasurer. A board of six directors
was elected as follows: J. B. Schmidt,
J. Hammond, F. Proescholdt, A. j..
Barrow, F. l.. VanSlyke and ]. J. Nc
Dermott. The purpose of this board
is to investigate and bring about bet
ter conditions of the arrival and de-
parture of our mail trains to and from
Manila The postal department has
seen fit to change mail car running on
train No. II which arrives in Manila
at 1850 a. m. to No. l, which arrives
here at 7:15 a. M, also changing
car going east on train No. s, arriv-
ing in Manila at 500 p. M, to train
No. 2, arriving in Manila at 9:35 p. m.
You can see how this has cut Manila
out of an evening mail service. No.
1 is invariably late, thus making late
arrival of morning papers, also delay

an early start on their routes. If any
better mail train service can be had,
the board of directors will get it. When
the Commercial club of Manila starts
something they generally finish it.
The Philathean society met with
Mrs. T. E. Dyson Tuesday afternoon,

our city Saturday, spending the day
with his son, DR.. Coin, who has re-
Gently located here.
A car load of hand picked Missouri
apples were sold on the Milwaukee
tracks here last week at S5c per bu.
G.. F, G. Kehr has bought and ship
ped Is cars of potatoes in the past two
weeks.
Dyson & Calvin have bought and
|shipped ten car loads of potatoes.
|Other merchants have also bought
but we were unable to get their fig
ures at this writing. These figures
|given above show that Manila does
things on a large scale and not only
supplies the local demand, but helps
Ito feed hundreds of other people who
live where potatoes cannot be raised
by the train load. The average yield
this year of potatoes to the acre is
about $50 bushels. Any one who had
ten or twenty acres in potatoes would
realize nice sum therefrom.
j. J. Malindy has moved into the
house recently vacated by r. j. Kin
ney. Mr.. Kinney moved to Vail and
we were sorry to lose Mr.. and Mrs
kinney from Manila.
