A REPUBLICAN CLUB.

EAGLE LAKE, MIMI, April 18th, 'SS.
Editor Free Press:
Dear Sir-Perhaps you readers and
Republicans generally, would he glad to
know that the Republican Club of Eagle
Lake is in prosperous condition and Is
gradually adding to its members until it
now numbers nearly seventy, all live
Republicans. Last Thursday the club
met in its hall and large number gath
cred there to hear Mr.. Chas. Wag-
oner's speech on the Missouri comprom-
Use, and the way Mr.. Wagner
handled the matter showed that ne was
thoroughly posted, and many times IN
his discourse brought the house out with
loud applause. After the speech vote
was taken for president, and Bi5,ne re-
ceived two-thirds vote of the entire
audience. By the way Eagle Lake and
LeRa stand for president, Blaine will
be the leading candidate for 1888. Our
club meets every alternate Thursday
evening. The next meeting will take
place April Goth, at s O'Clock p. m, and
a cordial invitation is extended to all
Republicans who are IN favor of Blaine,
Sherman or Lincoln for president of the
United States of America in 1888. AS to
this club, any of the above named men
can connt on us. We have now martial
music and think we have one of the
most wide awake clubs in the state.
ID, w. SELLECK, Secretary.

OREGON AND WASHINGTON.

No section of the country is to-day at
tracing as much attention as Montana,
Oregon and Washington; Montana be-
cause it now ranks first in the produc-
ton of precious metals; Oregon, because
of its rich valleys, and Washington Ter
ritory by reason of its mild climate,
timber, coal, minerals and wonderful
production of fruits and cereals. The
rapid growth of Spokane Falls, with u
water power exceeding even that of
Minneapolis; Tacoma, on Puget Sound,
the terminus of the Northern Pacific
Railroad, with 1900 inhabitants; Seat
tie, so miles distant, an energet and
thriving city, mark this section of the
Pacific Northwest as one that offer Pc
culiar inducements to those seeking new
homes.
By writing Chas. S. Fee, General Pas
senger Agent, Northern Pacific Railroad
st. Paul, Mimi, he will send you illus
trated pamphlets, maps and books Civ
ing you valuable infol nation in refer
ence to the country trayersed by this

to being the only rail line to Spokane
Falls, Tacoma and Seattle, reaches all
the principal points in Northern Min
nesota and Dakota, Montana, Idaho,

aualed scenic attractions, as well rs SUI

of intending settlers, neither of which

SUICIDE AT sTERusNo.
William Buell. browns Himself In
Rice Creek.

Our Mapleton correspondent sends
particulars of the suicide of William
Buell., of Sterling Center, by drowning
Tuesday morning, which are confirmed
by Mr.. w. &. Dilley, who was in the
city this morning. Mr.. Buell. was a
well-to-do farmer of Sterling, but for
some time has been iaboring under the
hallucination that he was going to the
poor house, which so preyed upon his
mind that he was impelled to commit
the rash act. He arose as usual about
five o'clock Tuesday mornings and went
to do his chores about the barn. Not
returning, his family became alarmed
and instituted search which resulted
in finding his body in the creek which
runs across the farm. Deceased was 65
years of age and had been married
twice. He leaves wife and seven chill
dren in easy and almost atfluent circum-
stances

THE COURT HOUSE CONTRACT
TO BE COMPLETED.

Mr.. Michael Rings visit to this city
has eliminated in a decision to COM
plete his contract upon the court house
as soon as possible. Mr.. III. X. Lee,
chairman of the county board, has writ
ten to Architect Haley for the specifica-
tons which he still has in his possession
and Mr.. Ring will return to the city next
week when work will probably be begun.
This action is taken Independent of the
suit against the county, which will
take its course. The conclusion of
the contractors will be highly satisfactory
to our citizens and to the people through
out the county. 1t will ensure the en-
closure of the structure at an early date
and probably the completion of the
court house within year.

Southern country AS rule the South
is sleepy and stagnant country. The
old fellows talk about the good times
"befo' the wah" and the Younger gem
Grafton have not quite learned how TO
initiate Northern thrift and energy. 1t
is growing better, however. The peo-
ole of the North are going down there
and re-creating the country, even
though their reception is not cordial,
and it looks more hopeful than it did
when was there some years ago"
Regarding the practice of dehorning
cattle, which is to some extent coming
into vogue, the Wlnona Republican says:
1.-TWO car loads of cattle-thirty-elght
head-arrived in Winona Oh Monday
from the farm of +. s. Ioumans, des-
tined for the Chicago market. They
were in charge of Mr.. Rowley, who has
the care of the farm. Noticing that the
animals were all dehorned, a represen-
tative of the Republican drew out several
interesting facts as to the results. Mr..
nONlCN caiu tiitt tliS Stotn nav
on less feed than ever before, and yet
had come through in better condition.
He attributed this TO the fact that they
were not fighting and hooking each 9th
er so much. Then, again, it was much
easier to handle them in getting them
out TO water, while rs to shipping the
advantage was plain TO be seen. The
objection had sometimes been made that
dehorned cattle would not sell as well i'll
the market, but this statement was re-
futed by the actual facts. Mr.. Rowley
said he had seen dehorned cattle sell
above other good cattle in the Chicago
market, the purchases being made for
the Boston market, and the buyer saw
ing that they would stand the journey
better and be in better condition when
they got through than horned cattle

THERE WAS NO MURDER.
No Traces of Poison Developed by the
Chemical Examination.
Mrs. Andrews and Dawson Discharged.

The Andrews examination case was
called at 9:45 o'clock Monday forenoon.
The attorneys, prisoners and witnesses
were in their places and the court room
was well filed.
County Attorney Smith opened the
case for the state and said that por-
ton of the stomach and intestines of
Andrews had been given very thorough
and delicate tests by chemist of the
State University. No signs of arsenic or
any of its compounds or of paris green
or any other poison were found. He
stated that he was satisfied with the re-
suit of the analysis and felt certain that
no poison was In the stomach or intes-
tines at the time they were taken from
the body at the post norton. The case
had been from the beginning based
merely on circumstantial evidence.
Under the circumstances he did not
think that there was the slightest chance
of conviction in the District court, nor
was there enough evidence to hold the
munity ought to be satisfied with the
investigation. He asked the court to
dismiss the defendants. Mr.. Buck, at
torney for Mrs. Andrews, also moved to
dismiss the case against the client. He
spoke in strong terms of the unfair man
ner in which a local paper, the RecieD,
had treated the case In respect to his
client. An innocent woman had had
her character blackened. He gave the
FREE Press credit for the just and fair
manner in which it had treated the case |
throughout.
Mr.. Pau, attorney for Dawson, also |
moved to discharge his client. He
thought that the investigation of the Of
ficers had been benefit to the defend
ants, and thought that the papers should
be just as willing to advertise the inno-
cence of the parties as they had to state
the suspicious.
The court in discharging the prisoners
said that the result of the examination
had been benefit to them and that no
suspicion would rest upon them.
The shadow of the terrible suspicion
having been removed from Dawson and
Mrs. Andrews they took their departure
looking like different people. There
has been considerable sympathy shown
