As Others See Us.


Mr.. J. A. Henry, editor of the James
vile Argus, paid visit to Mankato
last week, and gave his impression of
the place rs follows:
A visit to our ncighboring town
Mankato, the past week, revealed the
fact that future growth and prosperity of
that thriving city Is based upon solid
and substantial foundations. Like
other places it has had its day of de
preston, its backward growth. But
the energy and enterprise man tested
of late by its citizens, together with the
advantage ii has for Il manufacturing
center, is bringing to the place steady
and sure growth. The large stone
quarrics from which are being shipped
thousands of cords of stone, the Touring
interests, anu ,,.o LiIsccd Oil mill, are
advantages, which bat few cities in
Southern Minnesota possess.
Mrssrs. Woodland Il Hunt of Tue
FREE PRESS have established II reputa.
ton as cntcrprising newspaper men.
Their paper is the leading exponent of
Republicanism in Southern Minnesota.
Among the improvements recently in
troduced as an appcndage to The FREE
PRESS office is abook bindery. Speci-
mems of the work done are equal to the
work of bindcrles at st. Paul or Winona
The institution should be literally
patronized in this line by residents in
this section of the country
Altogether, the city has, as we have
indicated, a sure future. 1t is now and
no doubt always will be the leading
city of Southern Minnesota.

Give the Boys Encouragement.

Every time we are called upon to
chronicle fire in this town, and note
the promptncss with which the french
respond and the energy they display in
saving property, we feel under obliga-
tons to call the attention of our citizens
in general TO their apparent lack of APP
probation for those who are the saviors
of not only public but private property.
Remember that our companies are
wholly volunteer, working without pay,
and often times risking life and limb to
save what belongs to others. OF course
all who assist in times Of danger are
entitled 10 praise, but We must have an
organization, and TO such, we should
consider ourselves under personal obi
cations by encouraging the members to
become more proficient in handling
their hose, and more harmonious and
concerted in action at fire. This can
be done only by drilling and regular
practice, and the boys must have en-
couragcmcnt of substantial character
before they can be expected to do these
things. Mankato has one of the finest
water systems in use, and from the
power furnished by the Mill Company
can throw stream whose force is
greater than two steam engines can pos
sibly furnish. This city is now large
enough, and is spreading out so fast
that greater protection, greater efficiency
and a more proper recognition is looked
for ahd expected. Give the boys en-.
cOura9cmcnt.

Watching Mankato.

Everybody, or rather n large proper
ton Of those living in Southwestern
Minnesota, are keeping their eyes upon
Mankato, watching her peoples every
movement rs regards the progress of the
"boom" which was originally inaugur-
atcd here AMI which has been recognized
As the center Tor first knowing what the
results are and what are likely to come
from the effort. Many have observed why
some of our own home capitalists do
not make first start in the way of
manufactures, and thus lead the way for
Others to follow. This is fact, but
our only answer can he, if they are not
sharp enough To take advantage of the
chance offered, why some one else will,
and then they can have the pleasure Of
looking back and seeing how they missed
il. But don't think nothing has been
accomplished. because there has. Every
day brings dozens of letters from the East
and South, making inquiries and submit
ting propositions. Every train brings
strangers who have but just heard of
our glorious country, and who express
establishment at its wonderful beauty
and inexhaustable resources. The boom
is beginning to catch, and wherever it
strikes. an lndelible impression is left.
Keep it up. Remember that it is the
''little drops ofwater and little grains of
sand which mako the mighty ocean
AMI the bcauteOus land" Let every
county in the Second District join
hands and work together and their
labors will he rewarded.

A Charming Spot.

Minncopa Falls, only five miles from
Mankato, presents at the present time Il
most beautiful and picturesque scene.
The water comes mcandering along i'll
its serpcntinc course, ripping over its
stony bed, creeping from unseen am
bushes until il reaches the edge of the
precipice where it apparently hcsitatcs il
second before plunging into the sixty
feet depth below and then goes swiftly
onward in its course. The wooded
hills are romantic in their green and
purple foliage and fragrant with their
many blossoms and flowers the
squirrels and birds are hopping among
the trees, while an air of quictncss pre-
walls upon every hand. 1t Is indeed Il
charming spot. and some day must he
popular resort. when the handiwork
of art will combine with that of nature
and make il one Of the most conspicu
Gus and beautiful places in Southern
Minnesota.

District Court.

The past week the District Court has
been occupied with Il railroad case
which was brought here under Il change
of Venue from Brown comfy. The ma
turc of the case is substantially rs fol-
lows Some time ago IN employee of
the Winona n ST. Peter railroad com
pany sustained severe injuries, and
brought suit against the company for
$4,000 damages. The case was tried
i'll Brown county and a verdict rendered
in favor of the plaintiff for $4,000. The
defense appealed 10 the Supreme Court
who dismissed the action, and ordered
new trial, when a change ofvenue was
taken 10 this county. 4 struck jury
was empanelrd last Tuesday and the
case commenced and ran on until
Thursday noon, when juror Ellis was
taken sick and excused. but the re-
manning eleven thought themselves
equal Ia the emergency and the case was
continued. Judge Wilson of Winona
WAS present for the railroad company,

Electricity Notes.

Mcssrs. Geo. a. Clark and a. Il.
Smith, who recently pctitioned the City
Council for the privilege of erecting
poles and stringing wires for fire and
burglar alarm, telephone, electric light
power and heating purposes, and all
matters pertaining TO electricity, are re-
ceiving inquiries from all portions Of
the country relative TO what they intend
doing, also importuning them TO take
the agency of variousimportant elcctri-
cal inventions. What their purpose is
we have not ascertained, but of one thing
we can assure all, that whatever they
do undertake will be successfully carried
forward, if shrewd business management
and energy are any motive powers.
And as they are both men of the stric'
test integrity we look for some impor-
tant developments TO cmanate from their
plans now under consideration.

Death of Isaac Cheshire.

Probably no event of late years has SO
startled our people MS did the announces
ment of the above death last Sunday
night. Nearly every one knew Isaac
Cheshire, for he had been identified
with this section SO many years that he
had become part and parcel of it. But
it was the sudden and wholly unex-
pected taking of which shocked all,
for he was apparently in the best
of health the day previous and even
spent the evening of his death at home
playing with his happy family of chill
drcn. H. retired in good spirits and
aWoke about eleven O'Clock with Il fiji
of coughing. He arose, dressed him.
self and went down stairs to gain relief,
when but Il short time elapsed ere he
called Ia his wife that he was gong To
die and desired her To run for the doc
tor. She Immediately and hastily attircd
herself and ran to the house Of Mr.
Wagner, alarmed him, and then con
tinucd to the house of DR.. l.. \. Dorm
berg, their family physician. who ut
once obcycd the summons, but when he
arrived ut the house he was met with
the startling announcement that MIR.
Cheshire was dead. The doctor couldn't
comprehend the fact, and not until he
carefully examined the pulse and heart
was he convinced that life had departed.
MIR. Cheshire died quietly in the arms
of his fourteen year old daughter, and
we are told that us he felt the cold en-
brace OF death creeping gradually over
him he threw his arms tightly around
his little daughters form and while thus
embracing her babe all his loved ones Il
final good bye. What scene that must
have been. y strong man apparently III
the very prime ol life, the father Of II
happy family OF children, feeling
that he never more could enjoy their
pleasures, hear their innocent and happy
laughter or assist in bearing their sor-
rows, saying, tell mother good bye, Tor

in the thought that, at is
not all of life to live, nor all of death to
die"
Mr.. Cheshire was about 81 years of
age, and had filled many responsible
positions of trust during his life time.

Pork Packing.
Editors Free Press:

Editors Free Press:
Probably there is no point in the
whole Northwest, so favorably located
for Pork Packing establishment as
this city. Situated in the heart of the
hog raising section of Minnesota, and
having unsurpassed railroad facilities. it
is matter of wonder that long ere this
the attention OF pork packers has not
been turned to this point. Besides, the
hogs raised in this section are free from
disease, it being commonly stated in the
business centres of the country, that
Minncsota's pork is the healthiest raised.
1t will be found that in the counties
represented in the Southwestern Mime
sofa movement, there were last year
nearly $4,000 hogs of all ages. If we
add Scott, LIE Sueur, Waseca, Freeborn,
Steele, Dodge, Olmstcd and Mower
counties to this list, $1,000 hogs more
can he added to the above number.
All these counties have direct cOmmuni.
cation by raIl with this city. At a
very low estimate, this same section,
representing nine twentictiis of the
whole hog product of Minnesota. Will
report this year $4,000 hogs of all ages.
Thus it will be seen that the supply of
hogs which might be brought to this
point, is practically unlimited. Tile
writer heard Il gentleman of large cX-
pericncc in railroading, say within Il
few days that he believed it would pay
to bring hogs from point as far east as
Rochester to be packed here. Tie
packing establishment at Sioux City,
will come as far as Lake Crystal the
coming winter, for its pork. Cannot
the advertising committee OF the Board
of Trade be authorized to insert an ad-
vcrtiscment in the Chicago, Cincinnati
and st. Louis papers, inviting the atten.
ton of capitalists and pork packers to
this promising point. Surely the eX-
pensc would not be heavy and in the
opinion of many it will he money well
spent. PEVERII,.

fully solved the mystery of how, IN the
parable of old the few loavcs, and fishes
were divided among the multitude and
then plenty remained, for last Sunday
nearly 500 hungry and cold wanderers
from the neighboring towns swooped
down upon him like 4 famished hawk

came on when they cleaned everything

offered them each half dollar 10 clean

His, containing full account OF the
General Assembly proceedings of the
States. 1t was the largest gathering OF
its kind ever before held in this country.
The members of the Assembly were
welcomed to the home of Abraham Lin
coin by Gov. Cullom in neat and APP
propriatc speech. in which he said;
SLOWLY but surely the barriers are
broken down, and We may yet live tn
see the day when, in accordance with
the principles of your own fern oi
Church government, every country shall
choose its own rulers, and the one man
power he known only in history. The
world To-day believes in that liberty
which binds the human race together in
one great brotherhood, and which
makes all men akin. The doctrine of
brothcrly love and Christian char y
was one of the first taught by the fol-
lowers of Christ, and Roman history
shows that one of the earliest results OF
the political triumphs of Christianity in
the Roman Empire was the enactment
Of laws insuring protection to the feeble
and helpless. These results still! follow
the progress Of the Christian religion.
Our hospitals, asylums, refugees, orphans
homes, institutions for the education of
the afflicted ones of the human race, all
charitable institutions and organiza.
tons, are largely the out-growth oI
Christianity"

asks favors and protection from its
father and mother. In our mutual
needs we rush to one another. and con.
suit and advise with friends. Prayer,
then, is our duty, the duty of rational
beings. And then we must obey God
and obey his laws, as child does his
father. And, furthermore, it is our
duty to examine and see whether or not,
i'm addition to these laws of nature, God
has not proclaimed by revelation, other
laws. This God who has given us our
reason, and made all the laws of a phy-
steal and moral nature must also have
the right to speak to us through the
heavens. Can he not come himself on
earth in the shape of MANI This is
implied in natural religion, is the first
dictate of reason. There are men who
would never injure others, who will OBJ
serve laws of justice towards others on
condition that they vii! observe Justice
towards them. SO are there animals.
Man may serve his fellow beings, but if
he does not serve his God, he iorgcts the
great duty. Even those men who are
kind to one another without thinking of
God are still acting from the result of
religious atmosphere which exists the
world. But do away with religion, and
what is there 10 control passion. What
ever might do before the public, whose
opinion | respect, place me alone in the
darkness, and unless that know there
is God above me, what is there TO
compel me to resist temptation! Moral
,.r.tl
When temple is erected to the service
of God it speaks Of something more than
happiness in this world. 1t speaks to
yon of eternity, it promises you life
to come hereafter. Hence, my friends,
if there is anything necessary and i'm
portant for us, it is religion. Let us
ask ourselves to-day, is the heart ofeach
one of us Il temple to God; does our
heart throb in response with love to him
are we anxious and willing to obey his
laws. If we are nor, let us pray to HIM
for life and strength, and he logical and
consistent. As we belong to Him SD we
came from Him; as we go towards Him
so let the thoughts and affections of our
hearts, and all the actions of our lives,
he guided and ruled by His law, and,
when death shall come, we shall appear
before His throne, and receive the re-
ward due to those who do love and re-
spect Him.

Another Railroad for Mankato.

Every indication at present point to Il
speedy building Of Il nov railroad from
Red Wing to Mankato, 10 be called the
Minnesota Central, and as the matter is of
local interest We deem it Of sufficient i'm
portance for publication. The Mime
apolis Tri6uac, of Tuesday has this to
say:
Articles of incorporation will be pub
lished this morning of the Minnesota
Central Construction Company, o,.:un-
lied to carry out the contract of a. Il.
Stickney for building the proposed line
Of railroad from Red Wing up the Can
non valley to MankatO. The articles
authorize the company to build, hold,
purchase and sell railroad property and
to undertake other internal improve
mcnts. Principal place of business, St.
Paul. Term, thirty years from May ID,
Capital stock, 100000 in shares of 500,
payable on 10 per cent. calls. Limit of
Indebtedness, 100000. Incorporators
and first directors: \. Ii. Stickncy, VIM
Ely Bramhall, Conrad Gotzian, VIM. b..
Dean and II. J. Deathe, of st. Paul.
Joel May, of Saltwater, and }. G. Pierce,
of Red Wing. The contract is TO
and on the conditions named being
complied with, twenty miles were to lie
built this year and the whole line within
five years. The railroad company hay
ing complied with the first conditions,
Mr.. Stickncy has elected to build the
twenty miles between Watcrville and
Faribault, which will be cross line
between the Milwaukee ~ st. Louis
railway and the Chicago, milwaukee, T.
st. Paul company's Iowa division. Work
on this section of the road has already
been begun and it is not improbable
| that more of the road will be built this
year. The Minnesota Central Railroad
Company, under auspices of which the
road is to be built, dates back to 1857,
and the company is mostly composed OF
residents along the line. A consider
able grant of swamp lands attaches to
the road and it is probable the wealthy
towns all along the proposed line will
be disposed to assist the construction rs
it will improve their commercial and
marketing facilities and promote dcvcl-
opment of the large manufacturing ia.
cilities along the Cannon river.
Knowing that Mr.. Jno. +. Meaghel
of this city was identified with the above
project same years ago, VIC went to hin
for what information he could impart
and ascertaincd that the above compan,
are entitled to four sections of swan,
lands upon the completion of every tel
miles of road, and that they will I'm
doubtedly complete the line to TIL
point before the close of 1888, as tn
land grant which would inure to then
by the completion of the extension iron
Waterville to Mankato, is of too muc
importance to admit of delay. We ca
safely say then, that Mankato will 500
have her fourth railroad.
