Buffalo bill.

Hon. VIM. f. Cody, the noted scout
and guide, known the world over as
- Buffalo Bill" born upon the western
plains and reared amid the wild scenes
of tumult; his father murdered in the
early days when Kansas with the
struggle Of a young giant was shaking
off the yoke OF African slavery, will
appear at the Opera House in this city,
Wednesday evening, Sept. 2Sth, with
his large combination, OF which the
Boston Hsrald says:
The attraction which brought this
crowd together was the Hon. William
F. Cody, more popularity known as
''BuflalO Bill" He has always been Il
magnet for theatrical managers, and he
appeared last night in drama alleged
to have been written by John A. Stevens,
entitled 1.-THE Prairie waif." This

CHURCH NOTES.
CONGREGATIONAL.

Rev. Freeman of the Congregational
church delivered a sermon last Sunday
evening from John Z: II; "If any man
will do his will, he shall know of the
doctrine"
The speakers introduction and
leading thought was that the Jews were
the children of Abraham, and claimed
to be the especial favorites Of God,
but they did not understand the doc
trine of Christ. Their minds and hearts
were not rightly disposed towards the
truths that Christ taught.
What then, the speaker continued,
are the conditions necessary to know
spiritual truth. Negatively:
lst-The merely curious person will
not perceive the truth. The ground
upon which the Almighty treads is toe
sacred for merely curious men.
2nd-It is not by pure intellectual
process that one is to come to {
knowledge of spiritual truth. Nico
demus could not understand wha
Christ meant when He told himhe mus
be born again.
Positively: 1st-There must be ,
humble spirit. One must divest him
self of his pre-conceived notions ant
come humbly to the feet of any trutl
| il he is to understand it. One mus
come humbly to the feet of Christ, if HI
| is to understand what He would teacl
him.

Scarcity of Good Wheat.

The difficulty in obtaining wheat
suitable for milling purposes, especially
for producing prime article of flour,
is really alarming. The long continued
wet weather has so damaged this years
crop that the inalequacy Of the quaint
ty necessary to profitable running OF
our big mills will force them to shut
down to avoid II great pecuniary less
The situation is but little comprehended
by those not directly interested. Tho

will shut down after two weeks, simply
because it cannot obtain sufficient good
milling wheat to keep up the standard
of its previous production. Although
it has capacity tor carrying surplus o.
2OO, 900 bushels, yet how many days
will it take to consume all this, whel

4 Demagogue Caught in His Own Mcshes.
j. GERHARD,
john \. SAMBORN

In this weeks Rerie.o, Il writer under
the nom dc plume of Fair Play"
ashamed of his own name, has bitten
off more than he can chew, when he
copies our article of last week upon the
reading of Sec. 8 of the Constitution,
bearing upon the candidacy Of Messrs.
Hawkins and Hall, and then assumes
with all the authority Of one learned
in the law to say, that The evident
intent of this publication by the FREE
PRESS is to create the impression that
both these gentlemen are barred by the
constitution from being elected TO the
offices to which they aspire; and the
peculiar character OF the article anu its
position in the paper justify the infer
ence that it is paid notice
The ear.marks Of this wonderfully
wise contributor are SO palpably plain
that he should employ an "Emanuensis'
to construct his future brilliant efforts
in order to cover his tracks. The
"cvident intent was to give the facts
as they were, and it was not until after
consultation with Messrs. Hawkins and
Hall and other reliable counsel, that
we published the section, with the nc
guiescencc Of the gentlemen above
named.
The writer further inlcrs that the
position the article occupied in the
FREE PRESS would justify the infer
ence that it was paid for by an opposing
candidate. He dare not make such
bald assertion, unqualifedly, over
his own signature. 1t is not our custom
to fight in the dark or notice assaults
that seek the shade Of IL name to OBJ
scure their identity, and we only depart
from this rule of propriety now to de
feat the aim of the assailant and drag
him from his fancicd ambush.

As was anticipated in the FREE PRESS
last week, the marriage of our genial
friend Capt. Jack Keelcr to Miss Lulu
Bradley was consummated at the resi-
dencc of the brides parents, MIR. and
Mrs. William Bradley, Tuesday morning
Sept. Goth. 1t was not public affair,
as only the family and intimate friends
were present, but the occasion was
suspicious in its unostcntatiOusness and
in the variety of its elegant but useful
presents. The parlor was handsomely
decorated with beautiful flowers, while
sus appended from the center of the ceiling
was large bell made of pure white
and fragrant flowers under which the
parties stood and pledged themselves to
obey the injunction "What God joins
together let no man put asundcr."
The presents received consisted Of a
most beautiful basket Of tube roses and
other flowers of equal fragrance, ar
ranged with exquisite taste by Mrs. j
b. Hubbcll and Miss Grace; a handsome
heavy plated silver revolving water
pitcher, goblets and slop bowl from

Tuesday was sad day for the
American people, and in every city
town, village, hamlet, and crossroad
in our broad country, there were ma
terial evidences of the love and conf
dcncc which the people felt Tor the
stricken president and his family, III
the badges of mourning displayed
Mankato was not whit behind It's
ncighboring towns, and immediately
after the first great shock had subsidized
our business men and citizens in general
irrespective of political affiliations,
began to appropriately decorate i'll
deep mourning their stores and resi-
dcnccs. During the entire day feeling
of gloom prevailed everywhere, and the
otherwise busy hum of politics and
trade were hushcd under the great
alllction sustained by 50,000,O0O people.
Some of the decorations displayed
so much taste that we will mention
them especially:
At the City Hall the ilrcmcn draped
the interior OF their sumptous reception
room with exceeding good taste, while
their hose carts were objects Of interest ;
from the entire front of tho three-story
building were suspended fold upon fold
of deep black, and from window in
the second story hung n large flag
clothed with folds of black and white ;
the Citizens National Bank was taste
fully draped both inside and out; the
First National, on the interior was APP
propriatcly decorated by innumcrablc
national emblems wrcathed in Grape;
the Mankato House balcony was attract
i've with both Grape and flag with black
attached; Tiifany's doorway showed
plainly woman's handi-work in the pc
culiar arrangement of the folds; Sundt S
was made attractive by the entrance
being arrayed in black while somber-
hued ribbon held the cloth in proper
folds; Brctt's was very prettily deco
rated and that profusely; Mcdonnell 5
double store was also delugcd in the
same characteristic color, while up
Front street as far as Shirk' $, the respect
of the business men was fully attestcd.
On the west side OF the street were the
same evidences of deep feeling, and some
very pretty and handsome decorations.
Frink Il Browns store, Col. Thomas
office, Z. ii. Guilbert's office, w. Il.
Smiths store, the Post Office, Mcr
chants Hotel, and several of the bust
ness houses on lower Front street bore
evidence that their inmates were actu-
ated by the same deep feeling OF sor-
row and gave expression in the most
appropriate manner. Across Front
street, suspended from ropes, were two
large National emblems, appropriately
decorated. The Board of Engineers oi
the city took speedy action by issuing
the following notice TO Superior Hose
Company No. 2, Excelsior No. and
Hook u Ladder Company, No. /:
In view of the just received intelli
gence of the death of our martyred
President, General Garfield, ii is deemed
advisable by the Board of Engineers
that the room and apparatus OF Superior
Hose Co. No. . he drapcd in mourning
for the space of 30 days, and you are
hereby directed to see above order
executed. Ii. ID. PAY,

Normal School Notes.

The enrolment in all departments OF
the Normal School is already over 200
and new students are coming in every
day. The attendance is now larger than
at any time last year, not even except
ing the crowded weeks during the first
half of the last Winter term. IL this Is
true now, what may be expected some
weeks hence when fall work on the farms
is completed and the annual tlOod-tide
sets schoolward
The admirable conditions now pre-
vailing in the Model school are be-
coming known and its departments alse
are filling up. Probably for the first
time in the history OF the institution the
Model School is one OF its strongest in
stead of one of its weakest features. All
anxiety respecting IA sufficient number
of pupils has disappeared. New ones
are coming in almost daily, and the time
is not far distant when every available
seat will be occupied. 1t could not well
be otherwise with two such teachers as
Misses Hutcheson and Cheyney have al
ready proved themselves to be, and with
such beautiful rooms rs those in which
they preside. 1t is . liberal education
for the little ones to be merely In such
an environment, even if no technical in.
struction were given.
For the still better accommodation OF
the Primary department, another unoc-
cupied room on the first floor, hitherto
used us lumber room, is being fitted
up as class room for the practice work.
The little ones will soon be freed from
all necessity of going up and down the
stairways.
On Thursday and Friday of this week
a written examination of the Preparatory
and "C'' classes occurs. Each of these
classes is to be divided into two sect
ions, the present size Of the classes put.
ting them beyond the pale of profitable
instruction by single teacher.
Ever since the opening of the term
there has been constant succession Of
visitors to the school. Rev. Mr.. Wright,
of Pennsylvania, was among those Of the
present week. lie conducted the morn
ing exercises on Monday, and spoke Il
few pleasant words to the ''large assem-
bly," of students. He expressed surprise
at the spac ious and beautiful interior of
the building, pronOuncing 1t far super
ior to the Pennsylvania Normal School
with which he is acquainted.
The two crayon paintings, memorials
Of the last graduating classes, have re-
Gently been hung in the reading room
and are much admired. Life-size busts
of Shakespeare and Franklin have also
recently been placed over the book case
in the same room. A pleasanter place

II has been quietly limited that one
firm in this city is endcavoring to
control our entire grain market. If
this he true, we sincerely hope it
may not be successful, because the best
interests OF the city point TO that COM
petition which is the life spring of its
business. BY permitting the control
of any branch of business to pass into
the hands OF any one man, it IS
but natural 10 infer that the competition

was known far and near as No.
grain market. but today that reputa-
ton j. lost. principally owing To the
numerous smaller markets established
in every direction. But the building
of the new elevator by the Milwaukee
company gave US new hopes that
a friendly rivalry between two such
powerful corporations as the Chicago 4
Northwestern and the Milwaukee Il
St. Paul railroad companies would
change the state of affairs, and turn the
tide of trade again in our favor. The
desire of our business men and citizens
in general is. 10 welcome every branch
Of industry that will advance the pros
perity and business of the city, and we
think that they as a class would deplore
seeing such an important business as
our wheat market pass into the hands
of any one individual or firm.
