MankatO Flour.

If there is any one feature more than
another that MankatO may feel proud
of in her manufacturing enterprises, it
is the superiority of the flour made at
II. ID. Hubbard IL Co.'S mill. Recent
improvements have been made on all
grades until to-day there is not an es-
tablishment IN the country that turns
out u better article of flour, and very
few mills indeed that can compare with
Il.
There are three grades that this mill
Is now making specially of, viz: "Su-
perlative," "MankatO" and "Otsego."
The first named of these brands is what
is known as the patent brand, ami has a
reputation throughout the country IA
being equal to the best flour made IN
the world. The "Mankato" brand is
guaranteed to be the best family flour
in the market, and in many eastern CT
ties is placed on a par with, and is con
sidered rs good AS, most patents. 1t is
represented as beng far superior to any
so-called straight" grades, being strong
or, whittier and more economical every
way. Chas. Haight Il Co. of New York

A Word to the Ulty Council.

While proilered suggestions are cheap,
and cheap articles usually Improbable,
TIE FREE Pass is nevertheless bound
to have word with our aldermen on a
question that is of personal interest to
every business man. While the taxes
of Mankato are no more than many
other growing cities where public inn
provcmcnts are necessary to keep pace
with ITS developments. they nr" n"v"r
theless considerable, and those who con.
tribute to those taxes are entitled 20
protection from the horde of hawkers
and pcddlcrs who daily iniest our streets
and gull the unsophisticatcd out of mon.
ey which lcgitimately belongs to home
merchants. The dry goods man, the
jcweler, the printer, and other business
interests suffer from this class of timer
ants To I'm extent little realized by those
not interested in trade. 1t is not jus.
tice to those who settle in city, invest
their capital, pay taxes, and contribute
to every deserving enterprise in order
to assist in building up industries, that
these Sndes and sharks should drop
down ever and anon to pick up the scat
terIng dollars which would otherwise
flow into the Golfers of these business
men who are constantly struggling TO
build up the city which they have select
ed as homes. And there is remedy tor
the gross abuse to which thse men are
subjected, AMI lying rs it does within
the province our city council to regulate
the matter, they are called upon TO take
cogniZancc OF the situation and apply
the plaster. Il it be not in conformity
with the statute to deny license to these
travelling sharks to ply their vocation
in our city, it is certainly within the
PALE of their jurisdiction to place Ii
| cense fee SO high that 1t will practically
absolvc us from their distastciul pres.
ence.
The council AT its next regular meet
ing should not fail To bring this mater
up and instruct the City Attorney Il
draft an ordinance which will grant til,
relief prayed for in behalf of our bust
ness men. 1t should be made plain an,
strong that will holt waite

The Pioneer Press %: Wednesday
contained telegram from Washing ton
announcing the appointment of Mr.. T.
l.. Freeman of this city as Register Of
the Redwood Falls Land Office. The
people of Blue Earth county will read
j y second this appointment as being
one of the most fitting that could have
been made.as Mr.. Frecman's experience
IN the land office at jackson especially
qualities HIM for the position. The only
unpleasant feature abnut the appoint
ment is the necessity Of losing Mr.. p
temporarily from our city, but should
he decide to accept the offer, which Is
unsettled at present, his family will re-
main in Mankato. We congratulate Mr.
Freeman upon the distinction shown
him in this selection, and if lie assumes
the duties of the office to which he MAJ
been called, the people of Redwood
Falls will find in him IN agreeable gen.
tleman, entirely worthy their coincidence
and esteem.

-Mcssrs. Geo. ID. Eastin anil Chas.
ID. Pike, representatives of Tia Pioneer
Press. have been in the city for the past
few days looking over the commercial
interests of Mankato and her general
advantages. They will go through
Southwestern Minnesota with the
view of dscertaining the facts in regard
to the crop,prospects of the year. While
we have the greatest respect for the
young men engaged in this most lauda
bile calling, and to Il certain extent APP
preciate the interest which is now man
lfested in behalf OF this part of the State,
yet il is rather amusing to note the
quiet move of the Il. u. folks To catch
this country on the same hook from
which they fed bait to the Northern
Pacific people. For six years Southern
Minnesota has been totally ignored by
both ST. Paul and Minneapolis,and now
that we have n boom that we are amply
capable of managing and the Rcd River
country has collapsed, they come to Us
for succor and strength. But different
from the paper towns of the northwest
| Southern Minnesota is not Japhe
searching for II father npon whose man

her own strength. The sting unde
which we haye been compelled To smar
for many years has about left US
through the combined perseverance q
our citizens and the uncqualed richncs
of our soil, and she stands to-day indie
pendent and progressive. While W
ere clad to see that our Importance
appreciated, we yet remember, and re
mcmbering will keep our eyes open.

Van Amburgh's Great Show.

Ono of the established amusement
organizations OF this country gave two
entertainments in our city on Wcdncs-
day last and fully maintained the repu.
tation which preceded the company.
Van Amburgh j. Co. came with the
most flattering credentials, and sustain
sd well their reputation. Van AM
burgh is almost II household word from
Maine to California, the name standing
at the head of the list us caterer of
public amusement. Mr.. Hyatt Frost
has managed this institution for thirty
seven years, and may well feel show
mans pride in the grand success of his
efforts. Taught by experience the
wants of the public, and with liberal
lty beyond comparison IN complying
with their demands, he has taught the
pubic To receive the name of Van AM
burgh rs positive proof of pleasing
and interesting exhibition. From the
grand free street parade to the close of
the performance there We're no false
statements, no Objectionable features,
and the entertainments were worthy the
liberal patronage bestowed. The arenic
performance was presented in an artistic
manner,-introducing many new, novel
and startling features. In the menagerie
department were found rare specimens
of the animal kingdom. The free wire
ascension by Miss Lila Vincent, the
queen of the air, and Sig. Valanti, was
witnessed by large concoursc of pco-
pie. The show is one of the best that
has ever paid us visit, and was well
appreciated by those who attended it.

Gone, but Where?

Drs. Carter i Son are no longer num-
hered among the professional men of
Mankato. The field did not prove in
viting to the specialists and they left
between two days. Their sudden de-
parture caused the apprehension that
there might be claims unsettled, aud Il
little inquiry showed this To he the
case. Two or three printing offices
have unbalanced accounts, hotel man
failed to receive what was his due, 4
druggist watches in vain for their COM
ing, and other claims are reported.
making III aggregate Indebtedness Of
about 5000. The manner in which
they conducted their business was suf-
ticicnt to place prudent citizens upon
their guard, but still there were those
who believed the representations of
these men, and are now wondering
what they are to derive from their in
vestment. AS there seem TO be no
cures MS the result of their work, it is
inferred that they depended more on
human gullibllity than professional
skill to gain them practice. The
Younger Carter left note addressed to
DIR. Christensen, the junior member OF
the firm, in which he said he was go
ing To meet his father ut st. Paul
With rare magnanimity he left to DR..
Christensen the medicine on hand, the
practice of the firm, and accounts due,
with which to settle their Indebtedness
AS there seems to he lack of anything
material in what was left, the creditors
here may as well make entries in their
profit anu loss accounts, charging 81
much rs the cost Of little experience.
Neighboring towns will do well t.
watch Tor DIR. Carter u Son, and give
them the reception winch their dishon-
orable actions merit.
