at the foot of Mulberry street has not

the company own the property on each

substantial passenger depot, but has

contrariness of some members of the
old Council, but now that we have some
new, bright members in that body,
would it not be well to bring the matter
before them, and if possible have that
old sink hole improved, as it is not now

We believe it to lie the duty of every
medical man to Investigate the causes
of diseased conditions and, with the
American Medical association, believe
they should enlighen the public, and
particularly their patents, on all matters
pertaining TO the prevention of diseases.
The theory that bec,use given number
of people live in snail district, called
a city, large percentage of them must
necessarily have DYSPEPSIA, is defective.
If this were 50, WHY would not large
bodies of troops, confined within a small
fort be similarly afflicted The reason
may be that the dweller in the
town, or city eats many kinds of
food in whose preparation inferior
grades of baking powier are used. At
least it seems, to IL, that this may
reasonably be classoi as one of the
causes.

Prisoners Escaped.

Last Friday night the three genteel
house breakers anu safe blowers who
have for brief period recreated at the
county Jail under the hospital charge of
Sheriff Monks, made up their minds
to create Il little diversion which
they proceeded to do by twisting
off couple of iron bars in the
southwest window of the Jail, and after
crawling out, folded their tents and
silently stole away" Their escape was
discovered by Deputy Sheriff Latin in
less than half an hour afterwards, but
the night Was dark as Erebas and the
ground so terribly muddy, that no steps
were taken to pursue them until morn
ing Sheriff Monks then sent printed
postal cards in every direction and used
the telegraph to good advantage, SO
much 50 that before noon Saturday he
had ascertained that the Jail birds had
chartered hand car at Good Thunder
and been taken to Wells. Immediately
after dinner the Sheriff, accompanied
by Chief of Police Robinson and other
parties, chartered like conveyance of
the Milwaukee railroad company and
started in pursuit. Upon arriving at
Wells they ascertained that Fulljames
and Clark had gone east towards Alden,
and the third one had gone west from
Wells. Forward again the pursuers
went and deserted their men on the
railroad track. Both espied each other
at the same time, and the prisoners at
once struck in a run across the country,
and the Sheriff and party mounted
horses at farm house and gave chase,
which soon enabled them to overtake
Clark, who was brought back and lodged
within the iron cage of the Jail. Pur-
suit was kept up for FulIames, and he
was captured last Tuesday in northern
Iowa and brought back. No pains or
expense will be spared by the Sheriff
toward re-capturing the third prisoner.
The escape of these men has caused a
great deal of unnecessary comments
! from men who did not take time to
investigate the matter intelligently. The
! facts are that no such sharp, shIewd,
and skilltul criminals were ever before
confined in the Jail here, and another
thing is that during Sheriff Finch's nd,
mlnistration several years ago, one OF
more Of the iron bars which protect the
windows, were sawed in to close to the
base of the window sill, and they never
being repaired, it was very easy mat
ter for experienced jailbreakers to find
the flaw and take advantage of it, which
they Immediately did. Sheriff Monks
and his assistants are deserving of great
credit for the persistcncy and success
with which they have pursued and cap
turcd 1he criminals.

Canning Factory.

While Mankato is now fully aroused
to its needs, requirements and de
mands, and in the face of the fac
that our people are thoroughly deter
mined to pull off their coats and 60 t.
work with u unanimity of action tina
has long been wanted 10 develop tn,
superior natural advantages that hav,
been allowed to rest undisturbed, VI
desire to call attention to the feast
bility of establishing a canning fac
tory here. There are several advan
tages to be gained by an establish
ment of this kind, and in graspine
them Us a whole, the farming com.
munity is found to come in for large
share of the benefits to be derived
Precisely what We want.
In MarshalltOwn, Iowa, is to he
found II concern of the nature OF
which we speak, that II few years
since started out on very meager
scale indeed. At first, if we mistake
not, only corn and tomatoes were
canned. So rapidly did the business
increase that large additional and in.
creased facilities were applied from
time to time until now it is one of
the largest and best paying manufac-
turing industries in the State. Al.
most everything in the line of canned
goods are now put up, and rs time
rolls on improvements and enlarge.
ment are constantly called for in
order to keep pace with the heavy
demand made for the various kinds
of goods manufactured.
Mankato has every possible advant.
age for the most successful operation
of canning factory. We have a
magnificent country tributary that
would supply all the corn, tomatoes,
beans, peas, etc, etc, that could pos.
sibly be made up, and home market
would thus be created that would at
all times guarantee the highest cash
prices for such products. Here, then,
we have something that is of i'm
Importance to the farmers,
and mode of exchange that keeps
all the capital invested at home.
There is no foreign substance re-
quired in factory of this kind save
the tin from which cans are made.
In connection with the factory the
various sizes of cans used could be
manufactured, and the whole business
made complete home industry.
AS to the sale of canned goods,
there is no question but what Il ready
market would he Immediately created.
Look at the vast range of country
this whole Northwest that |
IS directly tributary to MankatO, and
.he feasibility of an establishment
for manufacturing such canned goods
Is we have mentioned is at once and |
admitted.
The Secretary of the Board of |
Trade received Il letter one day this
week from gentleman in New York !
who has constructed several canning
factories, and his knowledge and ex-
,erience in the architectural design

ETC., would he valuable for our people

demands such lnanufactory and will
AVE it. The only question remains
% be settled is, will Mankato accept

The do the reverse! This matter
should not be allowed to pass I'M

latter ratify the actions of their direc-
tors. The Board did so, and appropri-
atcd 500 for the use of the committee
on advertising. They also discussed
thoroughly other systems of advertising,
and finally recommended the plan
previously adopted by THE FREE PRESS,
a succinct account (which will be found
elsewhere, and promptly subscribed for
1000 copies of the work. This was
followed by several other subscriptions
of 100 copies each.
There is no mistake, our people arc
aroused over the subject, and although
they are slow to start, yet when under
motion they will make the fur fly.
Mr.. Geo Weaver, who has charge
of the old Red Lion store, informs us
that Mr.. Ii. A. Kuias, of ViIlisca, Iowa,
will occupy the above building June
lst., with complete stock of dry goods.
In the meantime the interior of the
store is being reiittcd and furnished in
the most approved modern style. There
is no better located store in the city
nor none more favorably known than
the old Red Lion one, and Mr.. Kuias,
being an energetic, stirring man, with
II thorough knowledge of his business
will undoubtedly meet with success
from the start.

-Rcy Mr. Uoyt missionary TO China.

Rev. Mr.. Hoyt, missionary to China,
preached two excellent discourses last
Sunday, morning and evening, at the
Presbyterian church, upon China. His
subject in the morning was "China and
its Missions" and in the evening,
"Women's work in China" Mr.. Hoyt's
residence of nine years in China has
given him an opportunity for becoming
familiar with the habits and supersti-
tons of those heather people, so that
his sermons, or rather lectures. were
practical AS well as interesting.
We feel confident in making the
assertion that Mankato citizens have
become awakened To proper appreci-
alton of their town, and have determined
To take off their coats and work with
will for its future prosperity. The wise
selection of committees upon public
improvements and streets and sidewalks
are indicative of good results. Every
one feels that good walks, streets, and
clean, neat surroundings, are the first
principals of success. These give
strangers favorable impressions and if
they do not locate, they will carry away
with them pleasant thoughts of the
town.
For several weeks past we have
had in contemplation the printing of
brief sketch of Mankato upon the back
of envelopes, for use among our various
business men, but had delayed the
issuance from the fact that we are hav-
ing engraved in New York map of the
city which We design placing upon the
back of letter heads, and thought to
take orders for both envelopes and letter
heads at the same time. Owing to the
delay incurred in getting the map, we
to print the envelopes in adj
vance and are now putting through
press 10000 which have been ordered.
No business man should send out an
