BOARD OF TRADE.

The above article is very explicit
one and we are glad it was written.
While ii is true that we have men
among us with ample capital, yet
they do not seem to participate in the
expressions above set forth, and
there Is OF course no way in which To
enforce them, but we should think
they could see the benefit they would
derive from such participation, and
enter heartily into it. 1t is no child
ish wh.m or uncertain speculation.
for there are avenues open ut this
place for certain manufactures that
would be based upon sound financial
foundation from the first start, and
not only benefit the investors but the
community at large. We wish that
our capitalists and others, would
heartily cooperate with our Board
of Trade in arousing the subject of
manufactures. until the greatly felt
deficiency was supplied.-ED.

Our ncighhor Of the FREE PRESS don't like

Ed. Free Press.
An article in the last FREE PRESS
begins with this query, "why can't
our Board of Trade devise methods
Of encouraging manufacturing indus.
tries to locate among u.s." which is
followed by some complimentary al.
lusions to members. and then the
statement. 'they might advance the
interests of the city greatly by siren.
uously and persistently advocating
our many natural advantages and
facilities"
The Board of Trade might, with
equal propriety. return the compli-
mcnt and say the same of the news
papers. But the facts are, the Board
of Trade. as well us the press. have
been persistcntly advocating them
ana does now maintain that all things
considered, MankatO is the best place
in the state for manufacturing But,
Mr.. Editor, we have neither of us
had great success in the past and
81 all fail in the future unless the peo-
pie. us Il mass. and the capitalists i'm
particular. take hold of it. We can
do the wind work. but it takes money
To start manufacturing enterprises.
The Board of Trade has only such
funds rs the public-spirited citizens
of Mankato contribute in the yearly
membership fee of 81. The sole oh.
ject of the existence of the Board of
Trade is 10 do al it can for the wei.
fare of the city and county. To this
purpose and none other. it's members
spend their time and pay their money.
If it does not do all the good which
1t is capable, it certainly does some
good. 1t deserves the friendship of
al and the enmity of none. AS Il
Board. its efficiency for good depends
much upon the people and the man
ner it is sustained by them. The
members of the Board of Trade are
those who are active business men
and who require their money in their
particular business.
We have among us men who have
capital not i'll active use, which, ii ii
we're put into manufacturing, would
make our city hum with new life and
make their Golfers musical with new
shekels. This is propitious time.
The great cities and the great for.
tunes are alike being built by manu-
facturers. Our capitalists who keep
their money to loan ut the continually
decreasing rates of interest, and have
not the nerve or enterprise to put it
into manufactures, will soon find
themselves left far behind in wealth
and influence.
AS to railroads discriminating
against Mankato in freight.rateS. 1t is
not 50 bad rs many represent. 1t is "a
notable fact that our largest manu-.
iacturers now find little fault. AS to
new ones which will do Il business
worthy of low rates, the Board OF
Trade will undertake TO assist them
TO get sufficiently low rates to enable
them To compete with any other place
IN the state, all things considered.
In conclusion, Mr.. Editor. let me
say that the Board of Trade is ready
with Il long list OF manufacturing en-.
terprises which Will pay IN Mankato
II the men with the money to start
them viii only come forward. And
The members of the Board of Trade
viii help with more money than any
other class of people in proportion to
their ability.

RESCUED FROM RUIN.


Among the Geographic dispatches in last
Sundays CtrOnGcIe was one with regard to
two Oakland girls who were discovered by
their mortified relatives officiating as pianist
and waitress in a beer saloon in Eureka,
New. The friends of the girls are DESTROYS
to have it known that the young people
were induced to leave their homes and en-
bark in the saloon business by false repre-,
sensations. They were it is alleged led to
believe that they were to be engaged in a
concert hall of the same character as some
in this city which respectable people fire.
quent. This highly select family resort of
Eureka offered liberal inducements through
an intelligence office, which announced the
fact in an advertisement, of which the fol
lowing is a copy:
"Wanted-A young lady to play piano
and sing for a country place of amusement;
steady place; $3.50 a month; fair paid.
Apply 10 Geary street"
The girls on answering the advertise
ment found that no fare would be advanc-
ed them, but, nevertheless, consented to go
Eureka. So convinced was one of them
that the situation offered would prove an
excellent one, she freely turned over a
diamond ring to meet the expenses Of the
the trip. They left on the 18th inst,
spent one night on the cars, and the next
day reached the high-toned family resort
of the Base range. Their employers
generously offered to place separate bed
rooms at the disposal of the adventurous
damsels, but they declined the favor, and
slept together that night. The next day
at noon they arose, and after invigorating
themselves by inhaling the fumes OF the
railroad furnaces for the railroad furnaces
for q few hours, proceeded to business.
The girl who was to play the piano Is q
is graduate of the Oakland high school.
Her companion, who was to pass around
the beer, has had the advantage of a
collegiate education Notwithstanding
their advantages from an educational
nd-point they were unable to appreciate
the esthetic pleasures of the hurdy-
gurdy, and when the waitress found
that the patrons of the established refused
to take any change for their drinks she be-
came suspicious. A council of war was
hastily held with the high school graduate,
and the girls came to the conclusion that
they were in an unpleasant predicament.
A gentleman named Davis, whose counsel
they sought, advised them to leave the
place at once, and they did so. That night
they again shared the same bed, and the
next day deliverer appeared in the person
of a sorrowing and excited father On
reaching San Francisco the angry parent
interviewed the agent, who is alleged to
have induced the girls to risk their reputa-
tions, and asked the offender:
els your name -2"
mo" was the sneering reply, MY name
is John Smith,
The insult fired the magazine of the old
gentleman's wrath, and he dealt the INTEL
igence agent blow in the neighborhood
OF the right auricular appendage, which il
is alleged lifted him over the counter and
up the opposite wall. The girls are now
in the bosoms of their families, and their
friends say "are wiser and sadder by their
experience +"
