A

A sad and fatal accident occurred at
Rapidan Thurday afternoon, resulting
in the death af Frank Fox, aged three
years, the little SON of the driver for the
Rapidan Mill Co. The little fellow was
ing the baby. Through the pasture
runs a gully formerly washed out by the
river, and having steep sides about
three feet high. The baby was seated
above the ridge, while the boy was
playing just under the bank. In
some manner the bank, which is COM
posed ofa layer of gravel with hard
dirt above, caved in, covering the child
with about two inches of dirt. tits sup
posed that a hard lump hit it's head and
stunning it, and that before recovering
consciousness it strangled to death. Its
mouth and nostrils were filed with dirt
when found.
Mrs. Fox went out to the pasture soon
after four o'clock to get the children,
and found the baby but could see moth
ing of Frank though she noticed the lit
tie cave-in. She sent word to her hus-
band, who scare he'd up and down the
river and through the pasture, but was
unable until half past five o'clock to see
anything of the boy. Then he happen
ed to notice the slight cave-in and on
brushing aside the dirt he found the
dead body, still warm, though it must
have lain there for an hour and a half.
The parents are deeply afflicted by
their loss and certainly have the sympa-
thy of the community. Frank was q
bright, happy child, and was a ~favorite
with all who knew him.

THIS.

If our city is to progress 1t mus retain
the confidence of the outside world, nor
can this be secured unless the citizens
when abroad talk as though they have
faith in it's continued growth and pros
perity. When in Sioux City recently
we asked several of the business men
why it was that that city should be en-
ioying such a rapid growth, while Man
kato, with abetter location and ten times
the natural advantages, does not attract
the attention of the outside world as ia
vorably. 1t wa their answer that Sioux
City people were all filed with enthusi-
asm over their city and when away can
never find too much to say IN its favor;
while Mankato men, when coming
among them or going elsewhere, talk
in a gloomy strain and leave the i'm
preston that the city is unprogressive
and has a hopeless future. The result,
they said, was that Sioux City had ac-
quired the confidence of Boston and
other capitalists and of the world in
general, while Mankato lacks that gen.
eral impression. If this is true, it does
not reflect much credit upon those who
have talked thus discouragingly of
our prospects. The man who owns
property in a city and then has no word
to say in that city's behalf knows not
his W interests, and cannot hope to
profit by the city's growth, unless it be
by other mems exertions. 1t is every
where admitted that Mankato has the
and advantages of nature
which have been denied other cities,
and it is a matter for wonder that we do
not grow more rapidly. 1t is evident
that the task of creating confidence and
securing outside assistance would be no
herculean one if our citizens would pull
together earnestly and vigorously.
When the excitement of election has
passed, the months intervening until
spring should be devoted to the matur-
ing and starting in operation of some
general plans for giving the city a
"boost' ahead to the position which it
sh ould hold. From Sioux City to Min
neapolis and from Winona westward
indefinitely there is no larger or better
situated city. And in the meantime let
no one speak aught but in the most en-
c~ouraging strain concerning the city to
strangers or among outsiders.

Merriam's Political History in a
Nutshell.

When the legislature of this state con-
vened in January, 1887, William R. Mer-
RAMS principle contestant for the
speakership was a farmer from the
southern part of the state, and he was
the n whom Merriam most feared.
But at the caucus Merriam was chosen,
and in the makeup of the committees
of the house he placed farmers in all the
positions they desired, and in all his
appointments aspresiding officer he was
very friendly to the agricultural inter.
ests of the state, so much so that it was
spoken OF in very many of the local pa
pers. At the election in the fall of 1888
he was nominated and elected governor,
and during his whole term he has been
and will continue to be in full sympathy
with the great agricultural and industri-
al interests of the country. No official
act of his has been detrimental to the
farming interests. These facts, taken
in connection with his thorough business
administration, merited an Endorsement
at the hands of his party IN renominat-
ing him for a second term.-Owatonna

OAR OF TRADE.

A full attendance was present at the
meeting of the Board of Trade Monday
morning. A communication was receiv,
ed in regard to an exhibit from Mime.
sofa in the coming Worlds Fair at Chi.
cago. 1t advised that the next legisla-
ture appropriate $25O,OOO for the pur-
pose, including the erection of a sepa-
rate building, and that the cities and
towns appropriate as much more. The
letter was referred to the committee on
manufactures, after several members
had favored the idea of the citv's hav-
ing a full exhibit, even at a cost of 81 ,00O
or more.
Geo. T. Barr stated that he had been
requested to bring before the Board the
plan of having an exhibit of the pro-
ducts and u of the city and sur
rounding country placed in the new
High school building. When first
brought up last winter the plan was to
have a permanent exhibit in the corner
room of The Saulpaugh, as a standing
advertisement of Mankato. 1t has new
er since been given n attention.
Room can probably be had in the hall
ways of the new school building for ca
SEES to hold the exhibits. The matter
was referred to a special committee con-
slsting of Messrs. Barr, Shoemaker and
Chapman.
The beet sugar question was discussed,
and the information was elected that a
number of the farmers who received
seed from the government have receiv-
ed franks to send samples of their pro-
duct to Washington for chemical anal
ysis.
Before the meeting was called to or
der an interesting little discussion took
place upon what should be done to boom
Mankato.

A NEW FIRM,

A new real estate and loan firm has
been formed in this city by the partner
ship of W. P. Coffin and Z. E. Watson,
the latter of Wells. Mr.. Coffin is too
well and favorably known to u citi-
zens to need mention, while Mr.. Wat
son is known to some of our citizens as
a most excellent and honorable gentle
man. Both are live men and well post
ed and should succeed. They have not
yet located their Office.
Jno. N. Hall will continue in his pres
ent Office, and will devote his attention
mostly to ~abstracting.
MI. Watson's family has arrived in
the city and will occupy G. M. Forman's
residence. Our people will welcome
them in their social circles.

Few people have any idea of the
amount OF quinine that is consumed in a
period of time or of that sold by a single
dealer in the drug. Ex%travagant stories
have been told by individuals as to the
amount of the alcholoid which they
have consumed, and if it has not been
a quantity sufficient to put them in a
wooden overcoat it would probably,
converted into cash, provide a comfort
able top coat for winter wear. This time
oftre year overcoats are out of season,
ana ne question uppermost is how to
keep cooland where. Rest and recrea-
ton come in that line. Thoughts of this
kind should lead one to inquire of any
agent of the Minneapolis & st. Louis
Ry. as to summer rates to tourists points
in all parts of the country, or for short
fishing excursions. Any special infor-
nation will be cheerfully furnished up
on application to c. M. Pratt, G. To P.

Does Farming Pay
Lake Crystal Union.l

Lake Crystal Union.l
J. E. Rowland states that an English
man of his acquaintance living near this
place, came to this country a few years
ago, and all he had was one horse, a COW
and less than So in cash. He rented q
piece of land and began farming; in a
few years he bought a quarter section OF
land, and to-day owns 20 head of fine
cattle, s head of horses, a lot of hogs, a
thresher and all the farm machinery
necessary to carry or a farm, and is al
most out of debt. All of his property
has been accumulated in less than nine
years. He had worked long and hard
and with rigid economy saved enough
to come to America from his free trade
native country. How is this for the
wicked protective tariff country?

FRIDAY, October 1880.
LOST AN ARM.

A bad accident occurred in the G. &
N. w. yard at IL o'clock Friday night.
Some switching was being done. and in
some manner one of the brakemen,
James Johnson, was caught while max
a coupling, his right arm being crushed
between the bumpers. 1t was found
necessary to amputate the arm halfway
between the elbow and wrist. Johnson
resides in this city, boarding at Sontag's
Hotel, and is a single man. 1t is anoth-
er of those sad and painfulaccidents that
are so frequent with the present sys-
tenn of coupling cars.
