A Bagging Factory,

The FREE PRESS has not failed to
invite public attention TO those bust
ness ventures which were deemed
greatly advantageous by reason Of our
being pos sessed of ample raw materi-
al. We have abundance of fax straw,
which. by rotting il, and then with a
series of small and inexpensive mills
throughout the country, converted in.
20 tow in rough form. Then with
"a centred mill in this city, it can be
worked into bagging, for covering cot
ton, for burlaps, gunny bags and pa
per stock. All these are staple artic-
les In the market, constantly in great
demand. Such a mill isnOt expensive.
The raw material with us is practic.
ally without limit. Our oil mill alone
buys 81, 900 worth OF bags for oil cake.
There Is no limit 10 the demand for
bagging. We are informed by one
who has given this subject close in.
vestigation, that there is probably
more certain money in it than in any
venture offered in this city. No other
locality in the State has the raw ina.
terial but this vicinity. Within easy
reach, thsreiis 3o,O0O acres of fax, the
straw of which Is now burned or
thrown away. That wasted straw con-
tains a fortune for the man or company
who will engage In bag factory.

The Principals Of the Normal

County Superintendent

| 81. cloud journal Pras.
The resignation Of Prof. John as
principal of the Normal School at
Mankato has been made the occasion
for an Outcry in certain quarters
against the appointment of clergymeiI
TO educational positions, and at the
same time for insidiOuS or open at
tacks on the Normal Schools. The
individuals engaged in this crusade
set up a man of straw and then attack
il with as much intrepidity us Don
Quixote made his tilt against the
windmill. From the representations
1t would appear as il all Of our State
educational institutions were under
the domination of fanatical preachers
who were making use of their posi-.
tions for the sole purpose of proselyt.
ing. This is wretched nonsense, and
the parties who make the charge, If
not fools AZ well knaves, know it to
be such. A correspondent of the st.
Paul Globe. whose contribution has
been received with special favor
among the limited number Of individ-
uals who make up this opposition, en-
bodies in screed in recent number
of that paper about all that has been
attempted TO be said upon that side of
this question. What il not false is
absurd or abusive. For instance, in
making up "a roster of the reverend
gentlemen filling fat places in public
institutions" he includes, in the sew.
en- named, the Rev. G. w. I. Wright,
Director Of the Normal Board, whose
salary is nothing; making the place
an exceedingly "fat' one. In the
next breath, after vulgarly denounc.
ing Profs. Kiehle and John, Princi.

banks" in whose interest "teachers
of life.l, ne experi' nee and devoted to
the cause of education have been
ignored" he assails Prof. Shepard,

The State Fair at Mankato

From thc Wells Advocate!
Ii is evident that the State Fair will
he located either at Mankato az
Rochester. as It. Paul is not DESTROYS
of competing against the Minneapolis
Exposition. Mmkato will undoubt-
eddy be preferred to Rochester, owing
to its unsurpassed railway facilities.
Probably 10 town in the state out
side of II. Paul and Minneapolis. is
so fortunately situated in this respect
as MankatO; it is approached on the
North, South and Southeast by the
st, Paul 4 Sioux City and Central
railways. and Oh the East and West
by the Winona Il st. Peter Il. II. Its
hotel accommodations are ample. its
drives delightful, and its whole situa-
ton is admirably adapted for sustain
ing an agricultural society that such
State as ours should have. Give us
MankatO, gentlemen. for the society,
and Southern Minnesota will soon
show what its farmers can do toward
sustaining an agricultural exhibition.

An Unexpected Railroad Meet
ing.

Litchfield. Meeker County. held u
large meeting last week, ostensibly
against the parties who proposed to
Jump the town site. Information
having reached them that the decis-
sion of both the land Commissioner
and the Supreme Court was in favor
of the present possessors Of the city.
il was resolved to convert the large
assembly into railroad meeting in
favor of the st. Cloud and MankatO X.
II. This was done, and it developed
"A very strong sentiment in favor of
building the road. The meeting de-
clared in favor Of voting reasonable
amount in bonds to aid the road
The sentiment was in favor Of speedy
action, and the resolutions were EN-.
phatic. 1t was stated that other
towns in the county were similarly
disposed.
