MIR. Horace Cummins. of the Eagle
Lake roller mills, was in the city to-day,
and says that they are moving the mill
into the village and will soon have it in
operation. The company has just put
in boiler of QuiDn's make which is
equal, if not superior, to anything ever
turned out in the state. That is the
kind of work Mr.. Quinn is doing.
Marriage licenses were issued Sat-
urday to Joseph 1. Hall, of Kas., and
Nellie A. Doran, of Jamestown; and to
Alonzo Water and Albertlne Frederick
son, both of Mankato.
There Is fine opportunity for some
one to open an ice skating rink in this
city next month. Experience has
shown that good skating cannot be de-
pended upon the rivers or Mud Lake.
Hundreds of young people are the pos
SCISSORS of skates, and large rink, main
tanned in good condition and in re-
spectacle manner, would not fail to be a
profitable undertaking. If only one or
two persons feel like taking hold of the
matter, a club of those interested might
be organized.
Elias Belknap, of Garden City, died
YESTERDAY at his home. He was about
seventy years of age, and had been fee
BILE for some time past. He was an old
soldier and a member of Wilder Post,
by which organization the funeral will
be conducted at 10 q. m. tomorrow from
the residence, Rev. w. Whitney ofici-
ating. Those of the post desiring to 60
will meet at Mr.. Hanna's store or the
post room at at 1880 a. M, and teams
will be ready.
The FREE PRESS is pleased to give
space to communication signed by e.
L. Saxton and A. L. Crane, of Good
Thunder, refuting charges made aginst
Rev. F. l.. Patterson, Republican can
didate for Superintendent 'of Schools.
The letter is self-explanatory and gives
credit to the gentlemen who give their
official signatures to the refutation of the
untruthful statements, circulated with q
view to prejudice voters against Mr..
Patterson.
Prof. Salinger, of Minneapolis, spoke
at st. Clair on Friday night and at Good
Thunder Saturday night. At both plac-
es he had excellent houses, and the
Republican cause was benefited by his
earnest and comprehensive presenta-
ton of the issues. A German in st.
Clair who had concluded to support
Owen for Governor, now says that he
shall do all he can for the success of
Governor Merriam, and that others in
his locality will do the same. Things
are shaping themselves all right.
1t is with the greatest satisfaction
and pleasure that the Swedish Male
Quartette is presented to the patrons of
the lecture course at the Baptist church.
Their unparalleled success before the
largest and most cultured audiences
East and West assures us of musical
entertainment of rare merit. The mu-
sic of the land that gave us Jenny Lind
and Christine Nilsson has taken a won
derful hold upon the American people.
1t is 30 sweet and harmonious, and 80
different in character from that sung by
American quartettes, that everyone who
listens to it is always anxious to hear it
again. Remember the date, Friday
evening, Nov. 7.
