IN MEMORIAM.

Two estimable ladies of this county
have been gathered to their higher
home since our last issue. Mrs. Emma
Gale, wife of &. A. Gale, Esq, of Garden
City, and Mrs. Carolina WIgley, of judi
son, wife of Joshua Wigley.
Mrs. Gale was young woman about
% years old and had been married five
or six years. She was the daug liter of
Andrew Friend, Esq, of Garden City
and sister to Mrs. c. IL. Piper of that
town ;she was also a cousin to Mrs. Gay
lord Lamb and Mrs. Geo. b. Owen of
this city. Deceased had been troubled
more or less for number of years with
pulmonary difficulty, but nothing seri-
Gus was anticipated from this at present.
Last Friday she was in usual health, do
ing her own homework. About mid
night she awoke feeling oppressive
pain in the chest, and members of the
household proceeded to treat her in such
ways as was likely to bring relief, but
she got no better and died in short
time. Her funeral OH Sunday was large
ly attended and the young husband and
other relatives have the sincere sympa-
thy of a large circle of friends.
Mrs. Wigley was fOrty-three years old
and has been failing for several months
with dropsy of the heat. She passed
away about three o. clock Sunday morn
ing, and was buried Tuesday i'm hudson
cemetery. She leaves husband and
| family Of grown up children, who feel
their loss deeply. She was lady loved
and respected by all her acquaintance
and her place in that commu nity will be
difficult to fill THE FREE Press extends
sympathy to the agrieved relatives OF
the deceased, and trusts that il will
be long ere they are called upon to meet
another Such sorrow

THE PROHIBITION CONVENTION

The prohibitionists of the Second
congressional district met in delegate
convention in this city on Tuesday, for
the purpose of concentrating more
thorough district organization for the
purpose of pro scouting a more effective
political campaign the present year.
The convention was called to order by
F. p. Tlton of this city lat eleven o'clock
a. M, and Rev. J. w. Powell, of Blue
Earth City was elected temporary chair
man, and F.. U. Morrison, of Mankato,
secretary. On motion the officers elecl-
ed were made permanent officers for
the district organization. Reports were
heard from different clubs, after which
an adjournment was taken until p. IN.
At that hour about fifty assembled at
the hall and it was voted to allow all
prohibitionists present, whether dele
gates or not, to participate in the meet
ing. A committee of three was appoint
ed to nominate district central COM
mittee to present to the convention at
the close of the session, for election.
The members of this committee were
| c. ii. Terry of Mankato, W. q. McAllIs-
ter of Eagle Lake, and Henry II udson,
of Madela.
| The first business TO come before the
convention was to inquire into the state
of the organization throughout the dis
trict. II was found that less than half
of the counties contain county organiza-
tons. A note was taken pledging those
present to commence work Immediately
IN their respective localities toward a
more perfect organization. Rev. Mr.. Pink
ham of Minneapolis, State organizer was
present and upon being called for, eX-
planned at some length the mod,s oper-
andi mapped ont by the State organiza-
ton, and upon motion 1t was voted Ia
adopt their plans of procedure i'm this
district. This method includes a gener-
GUS distribution of prohibition literature
and a systematic financial policy. A col.
lection was taken for the benefit of the
State Central committee, amounting to
about 2S dollars. Rev. Mr.. Conrad adj
vised the con vention TO urge the central
committee to call the political conven.
ton for the nomination of congress
man early, before other parties did. lie
does not believe i'm waiting to endorse
other party nominees. His policy is to
let them do the endorsing. This served
rs starter TO a long discussion as tc
the best mode of procedure, and gave
rise to a vast amount of eccentric ar
raignment of the Democratic and Re-
publican parties in which the old stero.
typed arguments were gone over, will
the effect of prohibition in Iowa, as d
text. 1t could be seen that the enthusi
} astic state organizer rather over reached
in sarcasm and invective. Had he saiG
, less, "a better feeling would have prevail
ed among those present at the close Of
the meeting.

MR.. CARNEY's CANDIDACY

Alderman Carney has resigned his
chair in the city council and proposes to
make fight for the Mayorality. Mr.. C.
has never been quite satisfied with his
former defeat for this position, and he
has been lying low for the opportunity
when he could feel justified in trying the
deal over again. He thinks that he
sees success awaiting his candidacy this
spring. The disaffectiOn existing with
the Schweitzers has been healed, and
he is promised support from this faction
where the bitterest opposition has here
tofore existed. THE FREE Press has
nothing personal against Mr.. Carney and
with many others believes he would
make a very good Mayor. His long
service as a member of the council has
demonstrated his eminent fitness for
alderman and he could certainly be of
much more value to the interests of the
city in that capacity than as Mayor.
1t was hoped that the suggestions made
on the Mayorality question i'm last
weeks FREE PRESS would be accepted
by Mr.. Carney and his frien DIS, and that
everybody would unite in paying Mr.. J.
A. Willard that compliment to which his
vast manufacturing interests i'm our city
entities HIM, and to which, also, the best
interests of our city would seem to de-
mand. The many complimentary ex.
pressions made upon our article favor.
ing Mr.. Wizards candidacy, and the
great number of representative citizens
who so heartily seconded the laying
away of party politics for one season at
least and uniting upon single candidate
for Mayor, is more than gratifying to us
and the mass of Republicans of this city
who stand ready TO carry out such 9
programme certainly indicates that, sc
far as they are concerned, the people
will have no complaint of selfishness e
attribute to them. The non-compromis
ing and greedy determination of tina
portion of the Democratic organization
of this city which runs the nominatin,
machine, regardless of public interest
may possibly learn that it were better t.
concede something than to demand
everything.

AN APPEAL TO PA

Etitor Free Press:
I'm the last FREE Press | see an article
by J. r. Williams, which calls for infor-
nation in regard to the transfer of the
charter of the Mankato, Austin 4 st.
Cloud railroad, through which our city
was left out i'm the cold. We submit
that j. Il. is looking in the wrong direc-
ton for said information, and that our
member OF the home representa- ton
should be asked to tell us about it.
According TO the anti-election asser-
tons and promises of said member and
his friends. (which promises you know
are always reliable) Brother Foster
was the only man in seven counties who
could, and would bring this whole affair
out into the clear sunlight-it was to be
his special mission. Now let p. A. tell
us what he did, and how he did 1T;
What he learned, and how he learned
it. Many of us believe that there is an
Ethiopian in the fence, but it might be
a delicate matter for the distinguished
patriot who 80 generously rendered our
people place for our new Court House
to discuss. Let us spare him since +.
A. can tell us all we want to know.

VETERANS RIGHTS UNION

Circulars have been issued this week
by the committee appointed recently
from various q. A. X. Posts to advise up.
on the propriety of attempting the or
ganization of Veterans Rights Union
in Minnesota, calling delegate conven-
ton to meet in MankatO on Wednesday
April l4th, to form such IN organization.
At this convention each q. 4. r. Post
i'm the State will he entitled to one re-
preventative and the committee very
properly urges that no Post 90 without
representation. 1t is perfectly evident
that the provisions of the National
statutes are greatly dlsregarded by those
in the public service having appointive
power, and it Is just that the men who
preserved the National compact i'm the
time of Il crisis, should seek the acknowl-
edgment they deserve, and to which the
laws entitle them, by such organization.
Success to the Union.

SIDEWALKS.

The Mankato Pipe Co. are now taking
orders for cement stone sidewalks for
delivery next spring. The blocks OF
which the walk is composed are hex
agOnal in shape, and can be made of any
color desired. They are as durable as
stone and much cheaper, and are large
ly in use i'm st. Paul and Minneapolis.
The cost of this walk will be $l.75 per
square yard laid, and all blocks which
become worn or cracked by reason OF
defective workmanship will be replaced
without cost to the purchaser for the
first three years.
In order that the blocks may be sufii-
GENTLY hardened and exposed before
laying, they should be at least four
months old, therefore, parties desiring
the best sidewalk in the world should
send in their orders now.
