JOBBERS AND MANUFACTURERS
UNION.

A preliminary meeting of a number OF
our jobbers and manufacturers was held
at City Hall Monday evening to advise
as to the propriety of organizinga Union.
That the project is one worthy the hear
ty cooperation of all interested in these
interests is too apparent to admit Of dis
cussion. There is not city OF our size in
the State but is represented in this par
ticular. and Mankato will be numbered
with the outsiders no longer. After a
pretty full interchange of views upon the
subject, Mr.. f. N. Merrill was elected
President of the Union, l.. Patterson,
Vice-President, and J.. A. Moore, Sec
rotary and Treasurer. Messrs. Col.
Thomas, M. q. Willard, and Chas. Marsh
were appointed a committee to draft a
set of bylaws, rules and regulations, and
were requested to be prepared to report
the same at a meeting to be held within
a day or two, at which time it is expect
ed that the new organization will be fully
completed.

STATE SOLDIERS HOME.
ST. PAUL, Nov. 2G, 1886.

ST. PAUL, Nov. 2G, 1856.
Editor Free Press
AS contributing little to the discus
sion of an important public matter,
hope il will not be deemed intrusive on
my part to state that a large number OF
ex-volunteers now residing in MinnesO-
Ia, earnestly wish and confidently ex-
pect that the approaching legislature
will take proper measures for the estab-
lishment of Soldiers Home. The
platforms both of the Democratic and
Republican parties and the nominees OF
both parties for Governor strongly and
explicitly declared for such home, and
there can be scarcely any doubt that the
legislature will take action in the mat
ter.
The State of Michigan has lately estab-
lished Soldiers Home at Grand Rap
ids, the buildings alone costing 500, 600.
The grounds consisting of l32 acres were
donated by the city of Grand Rapids.
The cost of the Illinois Soldiers and
Sailors Home at Quincy, including
grounds, was 100000. The grounds
comprise 40 acres, but are considered
insufficient. The benefits Of these State
Homes are not restricted to those who
served i'm military organization of the
respective StAlcs, Dut may NC eIyOycu
by any ex-soIdier, coming within the
prescribed conditions, who has been q
resident of the State for a year. The
Michigan regulations read: "All honor
ably discharged soldiers, sailors and
marines, who have served in the army
or navy of the United States i'm the late
war of the Rebellion, and who are dis.
abled by disease, wounds, or otherwise
and who have no adequate means OF
support, and by reason of such disabili.
ty are incapable of earning their living
and who would be otherwise dependent
upon public or private charity, shall be
entitled to be admitted to said Home
The conditions for admission to the Ma
tionai Homes are equally liberal, 1t moi
now being required that the disability
should have been incurred in the ser

The principle which is characteristic
both of the National and State Homes il
