THE HENNEpIN CANAL IN CONGRESS.

THE HENNEIIN CANaiI IN SoNGRESS.
The friends of the Hennepin Canal project
are very hopeful of securing an appropri-
alton before Congress adjourns for beginning
the work of actual construction. Congress
men seem to turn more ready ear to rep
RESERVATIONS made by advocates of the canal
than at any previous time because, no doubt,
of the evidence Of dissatisfaction among
Western farmers with ruling freight rates
for grain from the west to Chicago, Milwau-
kee, Duluth, and other lake ports. With
the Northwestern farmer who depends upon
his wheat crop, and awakens to the disa-
grecable fact that the railroad is this season
absorbing about all the margin left between
the cost of production of a bushel of grain
and the Chicago price, the subject Of cheaper
transportation becomes vital question.
The various Boards of Trade of the coun-
try have almost without exception formally
Endorsed the Hennepin Canal enterprise, and
statistics are produced to show the immense
advantages that would accrue to the produ-
GERS of wheat, as well as to the Eastern con-
sumner of bread were free waterway opened
from the Mississippi River by way of the
lakes and the Erie Canal to the seaboard.

News came last week of the death of our
esteemed eX-towns-woman, Emily Pride,
daughter of the late Darius Pride, Esq. and
wife of James S. Tileston of Faribault,
Minnesota She died on the 10th instant,
of dropsy, having been i'll several months.
For years previous to leaving this place she
was amember of the congregational church,
and she is remembered as one of our most
worthy and intelligent ladies. Most of her
married life was spent in Hopkinton and
bingham, Mass, where her husband acted
as a cashier of banks. The removal of her
only son TO Faribault, few years ago to en-
gage in business, was the occasion of the re-
moval of her family to that place. Her age
was sixty-six years. To do something for

Mr. II Warmer beinp called. said

Mr.. T.. S. Warner being called, said
that he felt deep interest in the success
of the Fair, and as evidence OF his asser-
| ton, requested the secretary to place his
name upon the roll for another share OF
stock. This subscription was followed
| by a dozen others, and the meeting adj
| iourned to Saturday evening, Mt which
| time the report of the soliciting commit
tee will be made, and the final fate of
the association determined.
In this connection we desire TO say
one word to the people OF Mankato. NO
| finer grounds can be found in the State
for Fair purposes than those ut .Slbley,
Mound. Already some seven Thousand
dollars have been expended in their i'm
provement, and very slight effort or
exhibition of generosity and enterprise
ON the part of our people will place the
association in position to liquidate all
outstanding indebtedness, make further
needed improvements, and insure us q
stock and agricultural fair here this fall
that will reflect credit upon the city and
result i'm great good to the surrounding
country. 1t does seem that our business
men, particularly, ought to grasp the
necessity of the moment and come to
the front i'm support of this enterprise.
Here we are the hub of an agricultural
wheel, reaching out fifty to one hun
dred miles in every direction, all looking
to us to move. 1t matters not how many
spokes wheel may have, if the hub re-
fuses to perform its function, rotary mo-
ton is impossible. Then let us get the
center of circumference in proper con-
dition and set the wheel rolling. We
are informed by one of the, officers OF
the association that word has already
been received from would-be exhibitors
which insures fifteen carloads of blooded
horses and cattle, and this is not half
of what will be shown, if it shall be de-
termined to go on with the FAIR.
Let us not have it said that Mankato
laid down i'm her efforts to hold u big
show. The country is ripe for an exhi-
bition, and all Mankato has to do is to
pre-arrange for the picking. Will she
| do il?

He reported that there would be about
two feet of neutral ground between the

ever, and no investigation made. Dur
ing the day Mrs. Zenopolski, who was
stopping ut Mr.. Hartnett's, gave the Sc.
quel to the mystery by stating that she
was assaulted Mt that time by man who
had gone to Mr.. Hartnett's shortly be-
fore, and requested that she go to attend
upon his sick wife, stating that he lived
in pottery ravine. He led her to the
vicinity of ID. l.. Clements residence,
when she became suspicious of him and
so intimated. He attempted to accom-
plish his designs there, but she fought
him and finally succeeded in making
her escape, and the villain followed her
to where the screams were heard when
he assaulted her once more. For rea-
sons concerning the family where she
stopped she did not give any alarm until
the next forenoon. The police being
notified, interviewed her and from what
she said, painter, named Joe Berry,
in the employ of Manderfeld d Payne
was suspicioned and arrested. Mrs.
Zenopolski recognized him as her assail-
ant, and he was brought before Judge
Porter to-day, and Monday next fixed
for his examination. He gave his name
as Mccormick at the time he called for
the lady.
