AN UNUSUAL CLUB OFFER.

The demand for thorough discussions
of both sides of the living questions of
the day has induced us to procure for
subscribers to the FREE PRESS a combina-
ton rate with the Forum, the ablest
American review, bv which they may
secure the FREE Press practically free.
The price OF the FREE PRESS is 81 80, and
of the Forum S.. For a limited time we
will receive subscriptions to both for So
year. The September Forum (which
begins the sixth volume) will contain a
review of the Republican National Plat
form from q Democratic point of view by
Senator Blackburn, of KY. Plank after
plank is taken up and discussed by the
light of the Republican party's record.
To this number the Marquis of Lorne
will contribute study of the Govern
meBt of the United States, the result of
his observation while he was Governor
General of Canada. He writes with en-
thusiasm about many features of our
Government, and points out several rea-
sons why he regards republican gov
eminent as stable. The third of the Sc
ries of economic articles which convey
the latest investigations of Mr.. Edward
Atkinson into the condition of American
capital and labor, Is the most instructive
that he has yet written. He shows by
diagrams how the wage-workers in the
United States has steadily advanced and
how capital continues to receive dimin-
ishing return. The Rev. DR.. Munger,
perhaps the leading Congregational
preacher in New England, will point out
the benefits that religion has received
from the death of many superstitlons
caused by the scientific spirit of the
time. There will be seven other articles
in the initial number of this new volume
on such subjects as Social Discomfort,
the Effect of High Explosives in Chang
igg the Methods of War, the Manage
ment of Railways, the Public Schools,
and the Increase Of the Alcohol Habit.

Wheat will not average over four
bushels to the acre in this township,

believe oats will even average less, as
there are large fields that will not be
cut at all. Nearly every farmer has a
piece that he did not cut. If frost holds
off for four weeks more we will have a
good crop of corn, but it all depends up
on the frost. Threshing out of the
shock will commence in few days If it
does not rain any more and that will
tell how near am right.

DEATH OF A WELL-KNOWN MIN.
NESOTIAN.

Word was received In the city Sun
day of the death at Seattle, w. T., OF
Judge Richard A. Jones, a gentleman
well-known in this city as well as
throughout the State. A special from
Seattle says his death was sudden and
wholly unexpected, and the end came
before the physician could be summon
ed to his bedside. He had been iGdis-
posed for some time with kidney troub-
les, but his condition was not such as to
alarm himself or family or physician.
The immediate cause of his death was
dropsv of the lungs. The body was en-
banned and taken to Rochester, Mimi,
for burial, leaving Seattle August Goth.
Judge Jones was a native of Indiana and
went to California during the gold ex-
element of 1850. He then removed TO
Minnesota, where he attained eminence
at the bar. He was appointed chief JUS
tice of Washington Territory in April
1887, by President Cleveland, and since
that time has won the respect, contidene
and admiration Of the commonwealth.
He leaves two sons and two daughters,
one son a resident of Rochester, Mimi,
the other former resident of this city,
where he also had other relatives.
He was In the SD degree of Masonry,
and was formerly deputy grand master
of the grand lodge of Minnesota.
The funeral of the late Hon.
Richard A. Jones, Chief Justice of
Washington Territory Will be held
at Rochester, Mimi, on Sunday,
Aug 26th. The Mankato friends of
the deceased, who may wish to attend
the last sad rites will have accomoda-
tions reserved for them at the Cook
House IN that city. The announcement
of the death of the able and genial jurist
was received with great regret by large
number of friends and acquaintance in
this city. The deceased was related by
marriage to number of people in Man.

Two Ladies VIII Drop Five Thou
sand Feet from q Balloon During
the state Fair.
The management Of the State Fair
have secured at great expense the most
novel and exciting features ever intro
duced in the State, which are no less
than two balloon ascensions, one OF
which will be made by lady, the aero
nauts to drop from balloon from the
height of five thousand feet and descend
to the earth by means of parachute.
The aeronauts engaged for these ascen-
sions are Prof. Oscar Hunt. Prof. J. w.
Price, Mrs. Hunt and Mrs. Price. The
exact dates for these ascensions have not
yet been fixed. Prof. Price has made
285 ascensions and he has had some
thrilling experiences. Mrs. LATHE Hunt
recently made an ascension at Chicago
of nearly 5000 feet and dropped with
her parachute into Lake Michigan, and
was rescued unburt.. The parachute
used in these ascensions is unlike any
used heretofore and is Prof. Prices in
vention. 1t has no framework and ribs,
and is held in shape solely by ropes and
hoop six feet in diameter. When ex-
banded the balloon has spread of
about 16 feet and length of 20 feet. II
hangs from the neck of the balloon and
the separation is effected by pulling a
rope attached to spring snap block.
The two ascensions will be made from
the State Fair grounds sometime be-
tween September 10th and 10Th. One
ascension and probably both will be
made by one of the ladies mentioned
ahoya

The statement that the gas drilling
operations at Minneopa are to cease

reached is a mistake. The contract OF

600 feet, and the company has no inten-
tons of abandoning the experiment I'M

should be struck. The company has
gone in TO make a thorough test, and
will not stop until it is fully demonstra-
ted that gas cannot be found.

GAS WORKS SOLD.
q. M. Hamilton Bids in the Plant of the
Mankato Gaslight Go. at Receivers
Sale for $4,000.
A satisfactory Sale.

The plant of the Mankato Gaslighi
company together with its franchises
fixtures, ETC., were offered for sale al
auction by Receiver Barr at the works
this morning, and were sold 10 Mr.. IL
NJ. Hamilton for So, 100 above the bonded
Indebtedness of SIS 900 and interest ae-
crued since Jan. /, 1888. This makes
the cost to MIR, Hamilton about Sal 900.
Mr.. Hamilton, +. l.. Waters, Mrs. l.. l..
McCurdy, I. w. Broadhearst, of Chica-
90, and Thos. Hennessy, of Rochester,
each deposited the required $500 as a
guarantee of good faith, but Messrs.
Hamilton and Hennessy alone offered
bids. The latter made the first bid,
offering s., 900 above the bonds and in
terest. Mr.. Hamilton Immediately bid
So, 100 and was declared the purchaser.
As soon as the court confirms the sale,
Mr.. Barr will settle up with the credit
ors and turn over the affairs of the COM
pany to Mr.. Hamilton. The floating
debt of the company amounts TO about
$l7 900, ana the proceeds of the sale
will allow them in the neighborhood of
so cents on the dollar. the expenses
also having to come out of the So, 100.
There is much speculation as to Mr..
Hamilton's motive in purchasing the
plant and few think he expects to oper-
ate the works himself. He says, how
ever, that he represented no one but
himself at the sale and that his main
idea was to have something to which he
could turn his attention if, as he ex-
poets, he should retire from his present
business. There is little doubt, how
ever, that he would sell if offered a
proper advance, and the general i'm
preston is that syndicate will be
formed to buy the plant and operate it.
Whatever NAV be the future outcome
the present settlement is satisfactory to
as it promises better service
TO them.
Under Receiver Bars management
the affairs of the company have heen
we'll conducted. and the sale is as adj
to creditors as could have
been expected. The plant when put in
proper repair will be worth not far from
S75, 900, but il will take considerable
outlay to put it in good condition.
