A Model Refrigerator.

Mr.. w. T. Mills, yesterday, showed
us through his large refrigerator or colo
storage room, which he has but recent,
finished, and to say that 1t is perfection
itself is no exaggeration. 1t is the
Stevens patent, and is the largest 70
frigerator Mr.. Stevens has ever built
but the principles uron which it works
are so perfect that the larger the room
the better it works. And no matter
how low the temperature Of the storage
room is, the atmosphere is always per.
fectly dry, so that match can be struck
at any time. This refrigerator requires
loo tons Of ice to fill it, and the degree
of cold can be regulated by simply
closing or opening the pans through
which the air comes directly from the
ice chamber above. In the storage
room are kept barrels and boxes Of eggs
and tons of butter in tubs. The eggs
after being in tho room twenty -four
hours were so cold as to make il un-
to hold them in the hand.
speaking disparagingly Of any
other refrigerator We must say that this
one seems To be perfcct.

Perished in the Flames.

Last Tuesday night about 2 o'clock,
the log house of Joe Dancer. three miles
east of the city, on the Eagle Lake
road, burned to the ground, consuming
twelve year old son Of Mr.. Dancer.
The origin of the fire is a mystery, but
the superstition is that it caught from
a smudge. The family consisted
of four or five children, and when Mr.
Dancer was aroused by the cracking Of
the flames he at once endeavored to
save his children. He succeeded in
throwing all of them out of the door
and window except the one who per-
ished, and when he fought his way
through the flame and smoke to the
bedside of that one, at the risk Of his
own life, and successfully carried 1t out
of danger, the child hardly awake,
made his way back into the burning
building and persisted. The father,
nearly crazed, was taken to his neigh
bor's, Mr.. Olinger's, and his wounds
properly dressed. Wednesday morn
ing the embers were cleared away and
the remains of the child were gathered
and inferred. Mr.. Dancer is hard
working farmer, and the entire neigh
borhood mOurns his loss.

Benefits Of q Water Power.

A representative Of the THE FREE
PRESS met gentleman from HOOsick,
Falls, New York, last Wednesday even
ing, who has been engaged in manufac.
turing all his life, and who is now in the
west for recreation. We were cndeav-
oring to impress him with the advant
ages and facilities which Msnkato pos.
sessed for manufactures, but he at once
said we couldn't compete with towns
possessing water power, no matter how
cheap our fuel was. We then mentioned
the excellent water power we could
have by constructing race or canal from
the Blue Earth river bridge to some
point opposite the city, and obtaining
thereby an estimated fall of sixteen
feet. He seemed surprised that such a
feasible object had not been accom-
plished long ago, and asserted that a
power like that would be worth hun.
dred thousand dollars to any town,
and that if our people would first create
this power and then invite the atten
ton of capitalists and manufacturers to
it. we would soon have the same boom
that many other cities possess.

Drowned.

Nearly every season the treacherous
under current of the Minnesota river
claims one or more victims. Last year
about the first of July, young man
was drowned opposite the city, and last
week, two others, both boys about the
age of ten years, lost their lives. They
were the sons of w. II. Day and An
drew Gapter. They left their homes
last Friday noon and went across the
bridge to the sand bar opposite Joseph
Hawerwas' place, undrcssed and entered
the water, which is shallow at that
point, and the supposition is, that they,
like all boys, kept venturing fur
Their and further toward the
middle of the stream until the swift
current swept them off their feet and
to their death. The boys were missed
by their parents towards supper time,
but no apprehension was felt until
their clothes were found upon the sand
bar, when the truth of their fate was ut
once surmised. Three boat crews
dragged the river until midnight Fri.
day, all day Saturday and Sunday,
when the bodies were found badly de-
composed. The body of Mr.. Days son
was buried Monday forenoon, and that
of Mr.. Gapter's son the same day in
the afternoon.

Murder will Out.

Geo. w. Monks, sheriff Of Blue Earth
county, went to st. Paul last Tuesday,
and returned the same day, with one
John Doyle, who, some six years ago,
assaulted an old man by the name Of
Madigan, at Lake Crystal, fracturing
his skull from which the old man sub
sequcntly died. Doyle was arrested
and discharged, and afterwards was
indicted, but no trace OF the murderer
could be found until last Saturday,
when by the merest chance, q young
man in st. Paul who had seen Doyle
before, recognized him as the criminal.
But to fully substantiate his belief, he
entered into conversation with Doyle
and becoming satisfied of his identity,
strolled out and reported his suspicious
to the chief Of police, who arrested
Doyle upon suspicion, and telegraphed
sheriff Monks, to come down and get
him. Doyle, while behind the bars,
confessed his crime, 50 the probabilities
are he will receive the punishment
which has been so long delayed.

Personal Bereavement.

Intelligence received on Wednesday
by Mr.. Hunt of The FREE PRESS bears
the Sad information of the death, by
smallpox, of his brothers wife and
little daughter, which occurred at
Bridgewater, Dakota. The family, con-
sisting Of husband and wife and four
children, we're all sick at the same
time, and left to the care of compare
tive strangers, inasmuch as it has been
less than six months since they left
Iowa, and sought change of climate
in the hope that it would prove bene-
fetal to an invalid wife and mother
who has suffered untold agony for seven
long years from complication Of dis
eases. Placed among strangers as they
were, kind hands nevertheless ministered
to the wants of the sick, and tcnderly
laid to rest the inaninate forms of the
dead, and God in his merciful goodness
can ne'er forget those who could sacri-
fee selfish considerations for the relief
and comforts of othcrs-even strangers
at their own peril.
Such painful and almost unbearable
Affections as this can be but family
com pretended by those who have never
been called upon to lik c experience
and when we contemplate the fact
that no near relatives nor friends were
near to sOoth the heart-broken father
and brother and help him bury his grief
in tears, for the loss Of those that of
all others were most dear to him, it
strikes deep into the heart. and We are
urged to cry aloud "Oh! God, how
could'st Thou 2"
Nate, dear brother, in a far distant
land, among the pineries of New York,
lives an aged father and mother, sur
rounded by six daughters and two sons,
who, together with those of us in Iowa
and Minnesota, bear to your stricken
heart all the sympathy, love and condo
lance that mortal can give, and our tears
mingle with yours as freely as though
we were permitted to pour them out
upon your breast.
May God give you strength to bear
up under this heavy burden OF grief,
and restore those left you to health and
usefulness is the prayer of your fathers
family.
