In a few weeks the water will have retired

Everything has been swept away. They

there has been remarkable degree Of

VOLUME XVI.

This issue of THE FREE PRESS intro
duces the twenty sixth year of its exist
ence. Although it has not always car
RED the same title as at present, yet il
is the same in principle, possesses the
same franchises, retains and continues
the same subscription lists, etc, as did
its first progenitor in 1856. Upon our
books to-day are many whose names
date back to the first issue of the old
Mankato Independent, and who have
never missed an issue from that date to
the present.
Without egotism or cxageration, we
can say that never in the history of THE
FREE PRESS has it been in so prosper
Gus condition as at present, or with
future more brighter with flattering
prospects. Our subscription list is
steadily ascending, job work is constant
ly increasing, and with the addition of
our blank book manufactory there is
nothing classified under the head of our
but what we are fully pre-
pared To execute in the best manner
possible.
In this connection the publishers have
only to return thanks to the public for
the generous patronage bestowed upon
The FREE PRESS in the past, and sin.
cerely trust that nothing may occur in
the future to mar the friendly relations
existing between patron and paper.

Assessors Returns.

The various township assessors are
bringing in their returns, and they pre-
sent thus far, a rather meager showing
of our county's resources.
These reports, we understand, are
thus meager because many farmers refuse
to itemize the property they possess,
and it is in conformity to tacit agree
ment previously made among them
selves not to report their property.
What the point to be gained is, we fail
to comprehend, but we are prone to
believe that such proceeding will be
against, instead of in favor of, the farm
er, because a great many in different
sections of the country rely wholly
upon the reports of the State Auditor,
and when they look at Blue Earth
county's report and see such an exceed
ingly poor display of its resources. they
at once form a prejudiced and unfavor-
able opinion of the county. While We do
not want to see the products of our
county overestimated nor exaggerated,
vet we believe it to be the best policy
to make a fair and candid report of
what we really have.

A Pull-Pledged Arab.

Last Tuesday afternoon a crowd of
men and boys came down the street
following tall, raw boned specimen of
humanity, dressed in long flowing
black robe, with fez on his head and
a clay pipe in his mouth. Everybody
was inquiring "what is itl'' until he ar.
rived at this office where he introduced
himself as full blOOded
Arab of the Greek Church.
travelling around the world taking OBJ
servatiOns of the various incidents CON-
ing under his notice preparatory to
writing book upon returning to his
home, "the land of the blest." He at
tracted as much attention as a circus
and asserted that i'm obedience to his
religion he only washed once year,
but Judging from his greasy looks we
would say he hadn't enjoyed bath
since the pyramids were built. He
claims to speak thirteen languages, but
we only tried him in twelve and took
his word for the other. He is his own
cook and always sleeps in tent. Ht

Hanging Of the Murderer in Efigy
at Mankato.

Mankato, not to be behind the times
IN expressing her repugnance of Presi-
dent Gartield's murderer, and their ell
thusiasm i'm the final and merited pun
ishment of the william, made all due
preparation to commemorate the public
execution at Washington to-day,
by hanging in etfigy, the wretch
Guiteau. Mr.. Geo. Gricbel, assisted by
the workmen in the shoe shop and II
few citizens originated the plans and
carried them to a successful termination.
An exact figure of Guiteau was made,
and Il sallows was improvised by util-
izing the telegraph pole at the corner
of THE FREE Press office. Precisely
ut the hour the trap was sprung at
Washington. posse of sclf.constituted
officers here marched the etligy out of
the City Hall and swung it from the
gallows, when sudden ringing of the
fire bell brought great multitude out
to witness the sight. The etiigy was
to hang for some time when it
was burned. So ended the life of one
who without cause or provOcatiOn
murdered one of the best men America
ever produced.

Natures Scenery.

One of the most romantic and beauti-
full sights observable in the Minnesota
Valley, is to ascend the hill at Col.
Pratt's, and with field glass, gaze upon
the panoramic landscape which presents
itself up and down the river for 90 miles.
To the right, as you stand facing the
city, you can, by the aid of glass, plain
ly discern the windows in the Insane
Asylum at st. Peter, fourteen miles
distant. To the left, one can observe
some of the old stone buildings that
adorn the plat of South Bend village,
and the road leading into the Minneopa
woods, while a little to the right can
be seen, over the tops of the wooded
hills that skirt the winding river, the
green grain fields in the townships OF
Butternut Valley and Judson.
