A Wagon Mandatory Wanted.

The st. Cloud J0Hrnal- Press under
stands that arrangements are about com
pleted for the organization of ii biz
manufacturing company in that city
with Il capital stock of $4,000 all pail
up. The company will manufacture
wagons, buSgics, sleighs, etc. The
FREE Press has frequently urged the
establishment in Mankato of just such
an industry, and 1t would once more
revert to it in this connection. Situated
in the heart of well timbered section
which contains an abundance of just
such material rs is required Tor the
manufacture of wagons, there is no real
son why they cannot be made at great
advantage. Even itevcry dollars worth
of material used were shipped from the
East, still such an industry could Dc
made to pay handsomely. 1t will be al.
mltted without argument that one car
load of raw material will make five car.
loads of wagons. Here, then. is saw
ing of freight on four carloads, which
of itself would afford the manufactures
a good interest on his investment. But
this is not all Labor is little if any
higher in this section than II is in the
Middle and Eastern States, and the prof
it those manufacturers must have could
be added to the work made here, thus
giving such an establishment .as we
speak of in Mankato by odds the Sin
side on foreIgn.made work. 1t does
seem that this matter should be brought
to the attention of some cnterprisino
capitalist, and if placed before him in
the proper light he could scarcely fail to
take advantage of the situation. Our
railroad facilities are excellent, and it
will be but short time before they
will be largely increased Ii a town
like St.ClOud, with little more than half
the population OF Mankato and less than
half the railroads, can establish $50
600 wagon mandatory, it is poor
commentary, that we cannot do equally
as we'll.

The MankatO edition of the Pioneer
Press made its appearance this morning,
and on hasty perusal we are inclined
to the belief that it will give pretty gen
eral satisfaction. Four columns of de-
scriptive matter, showing forth some of
our most prominent industries are pro.
duced in readable form, and about five
columns of advertisements go to show
the liberality of our business men. Mr..
Shoemaker, the news dealer, anticipat
ing the demand for this edition received
eleven hundred copies of the paper this
morning,and will supply those who call
early.

Unless the telephone COMPANY

Unless the telephone company
operating in this city gives more atten-
ton to "calls" at the central office the
public will become entirely disguised.
Often it requires five or ten minutes to
get into connection with parties, which
causes much unnecessary Inconvenience.
The system should be more promptly
handled, or else thrown aside entirely.
Mr.. Smiths attention is respectfully
called to this matter.

first issue. On tracing the matter il
was found that the bale, which was
mostly writing paper was of a lot
boughtin New York. There was album
dant evidence in the papers that they
had come from certain New York
city bank. and correspondence was at
once begun with that bank with view
to determining the question if the
money belonged 10 that institution.
Asked if the bank had met with any
loss the reply came that since the
bank was chartered, many years ago,
but one loss had occurred, and
That it was in the autumn of
1878, when $500 had disappeared from
teller's tray, and had never been
found. Suspicion had rested all these
years on several employees of the bank.
They could not be proved guilty of the
population, nor would it have been
possible for them to establish their in
nocence had they been charged with
the robbery of the missing money. 1t
was the hope of the officers OF the bank
that the money found in the paper
mill should be proved to belong To the
bank, as the innocence of the suspected
persons would thereby be deinonstra-
| ted.
1t came cut on making thorough
investigation, that a room used by the
bank for storing account books and
other nearly useless matter represent
ing old transactions had become
so crowed and crammed with
the accumulation that orders had been
given 10 the janitOr to dispose of the
papers that had lain there longest.
Accordingly, the ianitor on May 30th,
| Decoration day-the time being chosen
as one when the business could he at
tended to most conveniently-had the
papers packed up and taken away by
the porters OF a firm who dealt in paper
stock. The books of the firm showed
that this was the only stock taken III
on that day; that it was immediately
baled, marked and numbered, anc.
shipped to the mill in North Leomin-
ster. There was no longer a doubt
that the money found in the mill be-
longed TO the bank, and the notes
were therefore surrendered a few days
ago.

The reporter climbed into the tower
yesterday to enjoy the cool. delightful
breeze aud listen tie few strains from

was blowing from the east apd the
hum of machinery was heard in the
strains of the music. The old mans
lookout was as pleasant as summer
house on the eastern coast and the re-
porter thought that 1t was the most
delightful day he had yet experienced
in Fort Worth. AS he stood looking
out upon the still streets and enjoying
the solemnity of an almost perfect
Sabbath day, the old man was In
tently engaged in looking through u

The reporter took the glass and saw

and the hoofs oi COW.
Gosh, how he scoots ~ cried the
/ tower man, ''can you see his ears?n
The reporter blandly handed the old
man the glass, and asked him if /,
duck could swim, seeing there was as
much likelihood of his seeing Il jack
rabbits ears IA there was of "A duck

The old man lowered the glass and
