An editor of Minnesota paper is bunting
one of his compositors with shot gun.
The editor attempted to publish story
headed The Phantom Bride, and the com.
positor set it up, The Pontoon Bridge, and
it went in the paper that way. Several sub
scribers read the story, on the supposition
bridge, and they stopped the paper.
"Esquimaux are said TO be able to see OBJ
jects at much greater distance than Amer
cans" and as they are nearer, and can see
better, and still cannot discover the north
pole sticking up out of an open polar sea, It
looks like foolish business for Americans to
look for it.

A View at Mapleton.

We had the pleasure of spending q
few hours in Mapleton on Saturday,
and found the business men of that live
little burg enjoying a good trade, and
feeling in good spirits.
Quite Il number Of new buildings
have been put up during The past sea-
son, while many of the old ones have
been repainted and otherwise improved
in appearance. Mr.. l.. Troendle has
completed his new double store, and it
makes him one of the pleasantcst bust
ness places to be found in the county.
He has an extensive stock of general
merchandise, and is doing large trade.
Mr.. BROWN of tho firm of Brown,
Wishart g. Orr, bankers and dealers
in general merchandise. was in Chicago
purchasing goods, consequently we did
not meet, him. Mr.. Wisbart, however,
was "at hOme," and report the business
good.
Stroebel & Dyer. besides dealing ex-
tensively in stock, carry complete line
Of general merchandise, and do their
share toward supplying the needy.
Mr.. j. S. Taylor, the postmaster. car
ries line of notions, and has no diff
Guilty in putting in his time to a good
advantage.
A. Rima is numbered with the bust
ness interests represented by general
merchandise, and judging from his
complete stock, we should say that he
does good trade.
Mapleton can feel justly proud of her
hotel Accommodations. The Mapleton
House owned by Mr.. Geo. Bissell, and
the Farnum House owned by G. ii.
Case, Esq, are both exccllently kept
houses, and far above the average coun-
try hotels. II there is any one thing
more than another that bespeaks well or
i'll of town it IS the hotels.
There are two good lumber yards in
Mapleton, and both are doing nice
business. MIR. John Norton manages
one, and Mr.. S. Peet the other. They
sell lumber at MS low prices rs any con-
Germ in the county, and hence supply
the territory tributary to them.
Hon. G. G.. Spaulding is in almost
everything. He buys grain in the fall
and winter, sells agricultural nipple.
ments in the summer, and in company
with Mr.. Bishop, is operating II cream
cry. He informs us that at present he
is running the creamery on half-time,
but expects soon to close it for the win.
ter.
In the legal business, VIM. Plymat
and Mulberry seem to have the monop-
oily. Both are pleasant gentlemen and
do business on the square.
We should like to make mention of
all the other various business interests
represented in Mapleton, but cannot do
more than to cOllate the names, and
give the business. In addition to those
already given, we find the following:
J. NJ. Sprague, hardware.
Chas. DietZ. harness shop.
VIM. A lbricht, boots and shoes.
Jacob Thomas, shoemaker.
c. L. Kies, restaurant.
Joel Gates, hardware.
Jas. Mclaughlin, furniture.
John Schweitzer, drugs.
Chas. Pagenkoff, grain.
Mrs. s. Peet, millinery.
Sarah Quinn. dressmaker.
j. s. Roe. Fritz Gerth, and Rundke Il
Rathstock, blacksmiths.
Ira Bishop, M. d.
Tenney s. Quinn, livery.
Peet & Gates, steam Touring mill.
THE FREE PRESS has q very large
circulation in and about Mapleton, and
it IS pleased to note the prosperity of
her business men and citizens.

Is it q Flash IN the Pan.

An impression exists that the stir in
Mankato, during the past six months,
sis only flash in the pam"
Is the above statement true, and was
the speaker warranted in making it, in
view OF the actual state of affairs! In
using though, the verb in the present
tense, he evidently considered the stir
as still existing. Can 1t be that the
above is the prevailing opinion among
Outsiders9 If so, is it not the duty of
some well informed and cnterprising
citizen to enlighten these doubling
souls, of what las been done during the
past few months in our city, and what
is in contemplation for the coming year.
Mankato has enough to boast of in the
way of natural advantages to make her
citizens very enthusiastic as to her lu-
ture. Surely an abundance of stone,
clay, sand and timber, and excellent
market facilities, .justifies faith in com
ing prosperity. But faith without
works is dead. Everything depends
upon active and persistent work on the
part of Mankato's citizens for the com.
ing six months. 1868.

Phosa McAllister Coming.

l: is with pleasure that we to-day
note the fact TINT PhOsa McAllister
will for the first time appear before a
Mankato audience, on Tuesday and
Wednesday evenings of next week, Oct.
90 and "a, the first night in the great
emotional drama of "Elvaniee." This
romantic and historical play was dram
at,zed by Miss McAllister herself, and
her rendition of Madge is said to be
most grand. She is supported by one
Of the hest companies travelling, and
the press everywhere are enthusiastic in
her praise. A feature of Importance
about these tertainments, aside from
the merits of the company and the
guarantee that no better organization
of the kind ever visited this city, is the
fact that Miss McAllister comes by in
vitation of our Fire Department, and a
very liberal per cent Of the proceeds
will be given to this every way deserv-
ing organization. Our Department
never asks any assistance from the citi-
zens of MankatO without giving value
received, aud we believe that this eff.
fort to raise money will be heartily sec
onded by our people generally, and
that the hall will he crowded to its ex-
treme limit both evenings The play
for the second night has not been an.
nounced, and will not be until the
close of the first nights entertainment.
But of one thing be assured-botll
nights will be worth your time and
money.
Let's give the Fire boys rousing
benefit.

point where it should be located.
