Prof. Alling.

We have heard for some time, rumors
to the effect that Prot. Alling, formerly
of this city, was having trouble in his
school at Albert Lea, and that the dis
turbances had reached such stage
that the intervention of the police had
to be called. We did not place much
reliability upon these street rumors, un-
til they reached our ears from apparent
ly authentic sources. We then made
inquiries at Albert Lea, rs to the truth
of them, and ascertained they were as
false rs the persons who started the re-
port. A prominent citizen of Albert
Lea in response to our inquiry, says
II am most proud of the fact that Prof.
Alling is lifting the schools of Albert
Lea out of the mire in which they were
when he took charge; that the Board
has purchased for him set of chemicals
and apparatus, ami IN Encyclopaedia
Britannica, besides subscribing literally
toward free city library which he is
founding.

A Practical Suggestion.

"In times Of peace prepare for war"
is an axiom we'll worthy of repetition,
and under the truthfulness of this
homily we would suggest to our City
Council, the propriety, and in fact the
absolute necessity, of providing some
reliable means by which an alarm of
fire can be dispatched to the mill com.
pany without depending on some pa
triot consuming valuable time in trav-
ersing the ground between the City
Hall and the source of power. 1t is
impossible to hear the fire bell at any
distance, because its sound is confined
within an almost tight enclosure, and
then the indistinctness Of the alarm is
greatly increased at the mill caused by
the noise in the latter. The surest and
least costly means Of remedying this
defect, Is to stretch a telephone wire
from the engine room in the City Hall
to the mill, whereby immediate cOmmu-
nication could be had.

cries of the west is sufficient recon-
mendation that THE FREE PRESS Office
is able to turn just as good work as
can be got elsewhere. Now, it depends
largely upon the citizens of Mankato
and vicinity to say whether they will
patronlze home industry, or send their
work to foreign house whose interests
are not identified with theirs in the
least.
Magazine binding, and blank book
manufacture will receive our special
attention. and for quality of work and
prices we will compete with any house
in the State.

Delicacy on the Frontier.


A gentleman who is necessary called
on business to the frontier towns in
Western Minnesota and Eastern Dakota,
relates some amusing incidents coming
under his observations. He says that
everything is new and fresh, except the
butter. Houses are built in day.
Hotels are, many of them, upholstered
and are strictly on hygienic principals,
that is, one is constrained to eat his
bread without butter, his potatoes with
out salt and to luxurate heavily on cod
fish instead of surloin steak. The other
evening, Geo. says, himself and eight
others, among whom were four ladies,
put up" ut one of these primitive
abodes VIII ose partitions were simply
lathed and a carpet hung before the
doors. 1t required the combined inge-
nuity ofall hands to adjust matters, but it
was finally and amicably accomplished

damage was trihing, resulting more
from the water than the fire, but the
time of the occurrence was fortunate and
the quick discovery of it more so, for if
it had occurred in the night, or had any
length of time elapsed before discovery
the result would have proved much more
serious.

Moreover. let NOT Monk,to nooni,

Moreover, let not Mankato people
forget that home enterprises should re-
ceive even heartier encouragement and
warmer approval than imported ones.
I said that good work did not 90 on
as unitedly as it should. The Board of
Trade meetings should be just us largely
attended as the citizens meetings were
six weeks ago. If you all care to live
in live town, now is the time and the
Board OF Trade is the place to manifest
life-giving energy. If you can't tell
what to do, or can't take hold and do it,
you can ask questions and so inspire
confidence and zeal by your show of
interest. The worst result from staying
away from all such places is perhaps,
that you'll get apathetic-Rip Van
Winkles-fit denizens for dead town
Of your own making.
But, said tho good work goes on,
and so it docs. No citizen of Mankato
ever saw so early and energetic a move
towards sleeking up, cleaning up alleys,
building and repairing of sidewalks
and the like. OF course there are poor
walks yet, but we cannot expect twcn-
ty miles of poor walks to be metamor-
phOsed into good ones in one month.
Another good omen. Our people move
more united in determination to have
salutary city ordinances enforced. Don't
let any man or combination of men for
get this, to their own hurt. And best
of all, concerning these matters, May
or Maxfield means business"

Railroad Meeting.

Last Tuesday evening the stockhold-
ers of the st. Cloud, Mankato and
Austin railroad company met at the
MankatO House to elect directors and
officers. Among those present were,
w. NJ. Campbell, Litchfeld; w. T,
Bonniwell and w. ]. Ives, Hutchinson
j. II. Baker, st. Paul; w. Ii. Twiford,
Geneva; w. II. Officer and ii. w. Page,
Austin. There were 500 shares out of
700 represented, and the following d.
rectors were elected:
Messrs. c. A. Gilman, Campbell, Ives,
Baker, Henry Foster, Twiford. Officer
and Page, and they in turn elected as
officers for the ensuing year:
President-W. T. Bonniwell.
Vice President-C. A. Gilman.
Secretary. II. Baker.
Treasurer-H. w. Page.
The following is the executive com.
mittee: Messrs. Gilman, Campbell,
Bonniwell, Baker and Officer.
This election of directors and officers
practically leaves Mankato without any
representation except in the use of her
name in the title of the company, for
Gen Baker, having sold his city prop
erty cannot be classed us resident of
MankatO.
There was some discussion relative to
the future operations of the company,
but nothing definite. They think,
however, they have found parties with
whom they can negotiate their bonds.

IMPORTANT CHANGE,

Griebel Brothers, who have long been
identified with the manufacturing inter-
ests of Mankato in the Boot and Shoe
line, have extended their business to an
extent worthy of mention, by the pur-
chase last Monday of the large and at
tractive stock of fine boots and shoes
owned by ]. G. Andrews in Block IL.
Their principal object in making this
purchase is to provide more extensive
quarters for their manufacturing de-
partment, and to occupy and extend the
field for the sale of the finer class of
foot wear found only in large cities.
The Messrs. Griebel will not only keep
up the standard of the best manufac-
turers but will constantly add to their
stock all the styles as fast as they APP
pear.
Among the various well known brands
of fine shoes kept constantly on hand will
be the Edwin G. Burt, Ziegler Bros. and
Reynolds Bros manufacture. This firm
also intend to keep in stock complete
line of children's shoes, and in fact all of
the best brands made by we'll known
Eastern manufacturers.
In mems wear, all grades and prices
will be found. In their lower town
store will be located their own manufac-
tory which will be increased sufficiently
to meet all demands for their established
home make of boots and shoes.
The branching out of this one home
mandatory is indeed creditable, and
will undoubtedly be followed by Others
in different lines. We wish the firm all
the success their energy and enterprise
merit, and hope to see them build up
trade of such dimensions as to supply
not only their home demand, but ais" the
large territory tributary to them with
goods of their own manufacture.

Editors Mankato Free Press:
Still the the good work goes on. But
not so rapidly or unitedly as it should.
There has been time since the spring
for SOME new enterprise to
get "on foot" Two or three new projects
are hopefully incubatlng, but AS warm
weather comes on, there is danger of
adding. Don't sit on your projects
too long, gentlemen, or you won't
hatch anything. You know how it is
with a flock of sheep, a good leader can
take the flock anywhere he will.
Where's the "ringleader" that all the
rest of us want to follow into manu-
featuring something's
There are great many young men
in Mankato who have the ability to
originate and carry out many kinds OF
manufactures, if they only realize that
they are boys no longer, and would de-
clare, by word and act, that they won't
live in dead town, and that they won't
leave Mankato until they become rich
and influential. "But what shall it be2"
That is just the thing for you to fad
out, and in finding out what, you will
in large measure find out how. Self
made men don't wait to be told what
to do, or to be shown how to make a
thing 60. They just "bone i'm and find
out and make it 90. If were to tell
you in THE FREE PRESS, the whole
world would know and get ahead of
you. Read manufacturing papers; read
advertisements; read Cyclop@dias; read
anybody you can get information out
of. Write to manufacturers whose re-
sources you will find in commercial
reports and directories, and above all
90 to the Board of Trade meetings and
talk and ask questions, and get tho
Secretary and committee on Manufact
ure to find out what you can't.
"We haven't the capital" know it
but ten or twenty or fifty or hundred
of you have. Incorporate. But in you
young strength don't forget wholly "ol'
men for WISDOM" and don't fail to &c
an experienced man to start you.
