Oratory and argument of a six
cylinder variety We're let loose this
morning, when two of the well-known
citizens of the city met for a few
moments to discuss the merits OF
an alarm clock. One OF these men
is dealer in clocks and the plain
tiff in the oratorical contest was a
man that had some time ago invest,
ed two dollars in a clock which this
salesman of timepieces had in his
collection.
Right from the day of the invest,
ment, SO states the purchaser, the
clock wasn't worth its board and In
addition to the diseases that ordin-
! airy clocks suffer from, 1t had so many
lyother clock complaints that made II
valuable as a collection of clock
| diseases but failure in the great
! and good traits which are supposed
10 be possessed bytrue and yirtuous
yAarms!
! The greatest argument advanced
| against it was the fact that it was
very old and that it had spent the
days of its prime in the town OF
| Candy before it later moved to Man
kato and entered its career as an
object of sale. The oratory ran a.
! high heat for quite a few minutes
but neither of the debaters seemed
4 to be able to pin the other to the
oratorical mat.

have the contracts between the coun'
ties and the government closed up.
/ Mr.. Hohmaiin also took up the di
vision of the $4,000 pledged by the

lie Sueur and Scott counties. By
doing this Blue Earth gets $1,250
| from ST. Paul to expend and when the
work is completed the county will
get back one-ha1f of this amount. The
proposition as far as Blue Earth
county is concerned now stands as
follows: -

ment, $12,562.50.
/ Blue Earth county as a county
originally puts in $4,625, but gets
back from the state 3one-half of the
amount contributed by Mankato and
st. Paul In other words, 1t gets bach
one.half Of $S..375, of $4,1S7, so, SC
