PORTER'S RESTAURANT AT
TACHED.

Miner Porter's restaurant was closed
on two attachments at about eleven
O'Clock Tuesday forenoon. The attach
ments were gotten out by John Klein,
on claims amounting to $3.50, and j. +.
Meagher for 500. 1t is understood that
the liabilities amount to about 81 ,6Oo,
and it is impossible to estimate the as
sets as Mr.. Porter is out of the city. 1t
is not thought that the stock on hand
will amount to more than few hundred
dollars at most. Mr.. Lorin Cray is at
torney for Messrs. Klein and Meagher.
The formers bills is for furniture and
the latter's for rent and other items.
Our citizens will be sorry to hear of Nh.
Porter's involvment, both on account
of his long residence in this city and
from the popularity Of his restaurant.
The latter has been run at considera-
BILE loss for some months, it is said. IL
is hoped that Mr.. Porter will be able to
make some arrangement whereby he
will not be Obliged to make an assign
ment, but this seems scarcely possible at
present

THE NORWEGIAN ASYLUMS.

Our scandinavian friends certainly en-
tirely misapprehend the course of the
FREE PRESS when they suppose that We
have any disposition to otherwise than
aid the project for securing the location
of the Norwegian orphans home and
other institutions in this city. We freely
gave our space for the advertisement OF
the matter and have on several occa-
sions commended and urged the desira-
bility of the project. Whatever has
been given in our news columns regard
ing the progress of the negotiations was
secured from those having the matter in
hand and we have as yet been uninform
ed as to what was incorrect in our re-
ports.
The FREE PRESS never yields to any
one in Its zeal for encouraging and Sc
curing every enterprise or addition
which is likely to be of benefit to the
city and no reasonable person will re-
fuse to give us credit for such DISPOSE
ton. AS to the institution in question
we repeat that We believe it would be a
great benefit to the city to secure it.
While al the start it must needs be small
in its proportions, the large and increas-
Scandinavian population of the state is
becoming so great that an institution
such as Is proposed is sure to grow in
importance and at no very distant day
become a very valuable and desirable
one. One of the greatest advantages to
accrue to Mankato by its location here
would be the additional population
which would be attracted here. 1t is
natural for these people to gather to-
gether at points where these branches
of their church work exist, and in a
short time we should find additions be-
ing made to the ranks of our citizens of
a very desirable kind. Garden City has
offered to donate a site and give $1,000
toward erecting buildings. The COM
mittee thinks Mankato should do as
well, and this is the substance of the
proposition they make. Though they
can not bind themselves to make any
stipulated improvements within given
time, we are informed by those under
standing the subject that in all proba-
bility few years would see the invest
ment of sl2 900 or $l5, 900 in the institu-
tons. The project is entirely achari-
table one and necessarily must move
slowly, but with the progress which
these industrious Norwegians are max
Ing there is no reason to doubt that they
will literally support an institution OF
the kind proposed. We hope that the
Board of Trade or others interested will
obtain the encouragement from our citi.
zens which will enable them to accept
the proposition of the Synod. We are
informed that 81 500 will fully cover al
hat the city is asked to contribute, and
IL certainly seems that that amount
| should be easily secured.

1--WE Never Sleep"

This is the striking and probably very
motto. of the celebrated
"Pinkerton Detective Agency" which
has seldom failed in any attempt it has
made to track and hunt down criminals,
be they ever so cunning. At any rate,
whether the detectives 'never sleep"
or not, it is pretty certain that man
who knows 1.-THE Pinkertons" are on his
trail will not sleep very much nor very
soundly.
This not sleeping may do very well
for detectives and Crooks" but it does
not suit the travelling public nor "The
Burlington" Accordingly, this enter
prising line-the Chicago, Burlington &
Northern-has placed in service the un-
surpassed vestibuled trains of the fa-
nous Pullman Company, which insure
the through passenger an undisturbed
and delightful nights rest. Persons de-
string these accommodations can secure
them in advance by writing or telegraph

BURGLARS ABROAD.

II is about a year ago that a burglar
scare started in this city and lasted for
about six weeks. Nearly every night
for awhile some house was visited, or
was imagined to be visited, but nothing
of value was ever taken. Since then not
a single complaint has been received
until day or two. There are now no
less than three successful buIglaries to
report.
A week ago Saturday tramp giving
the name of "Tom" applied to farmer
named Geo. Derby, living near Rapidan,
for work and stayed there week. Sat
urday morning about two O'Clock he got
up and left for parts unknown with his
employers pocket book containing S4O.
He has not been heard of since.
Saturday night some one entered the
sample room in the rear Of Mankato
House by breaking in the rear door. A
large quantity of samples of Powers q
Co., st. Paul, dealers in dry goods, were
in this room and the thief secured
number of fine silk pocket handker-
chiefs, hose, ETC., IN all valued at from
$40 to $50. He left a large part OF the
samples. Whoever the robber was he
must have been pretty well acquainted
with the premises. 1t is thought to be
home talent.
Sunday night another sneak thief broke
into Weis 4 Druckenbrods hardware
store in block IA. He secured an en-
trance by breaking the catch from the
rear door. Four revolvers, about three
dozen pocket knives, and between "
and s. In cash was stolen. The latter
was obtained by breaking open the
money drawer. There are some suspic-
ions as to who this burglar is. He is
thought to be well acquainted with the
store and is undoubtedly home talent.
1t is hardly necessary to warn our
citizens to be prepared for these mid
night marauders. The experience OF
last summer is too well remembered.

Harry Palmer, engineer ut the city
well, met with a very serious accident at
that place yesterday morning. He with
his assistants was attempting to bore the
1uicksand out of the well, and number
of spectators were present. He is a
heavy man, and in attempting to walk
across the top of the well on a plank the
latter broke and Mr.. Palmer fell TO the
bottom of the well, a distance of twenty
eight feet. He struck board and land
ed on the stones. 1t is wonder that
he was not killed. AS it was, he sus-
tanned number of bruises, and the lig-
aments were torn from his right ankle.
He will be laid up for some time. DR..
Jacoby dressed his wounds.
