time at Frankfort yesterday. 1t was in the
Litz Pharmacy, No. 451a Frank ford avenue.
just as the clocks were striking the hour of
midnight George Bolton and Mr.. Croasdale,
who were passing the store, saw that it was
wrapped in flames from the tarletan drapery

the night. Mr., Litz and his assistant, Mr..
White, ran downstairs in their night
clothes, opened the front door from the out
side, then gained admission to the cellar,
whence, with the assistance of others, they
dragged a forty-gallon tank of soda-wa.er
out and quickly relied it into the store.
The exhaust of the fountain was opened,
and II spurted and Kissed its contents of
heavily charged water and carbOnic acid
gas to the blazing ceiling, putting out the
hire in almost the twinkling of an eye. No
fremen were needed. Mrs. Litz and her
children, who were almost suffocated by the
smoke which entered their bedroom, were
gotten out by the fremen and removed to

An Apparent Swindler Proves Not Such
Surprise After All.
A well-dressed man entered a Diamond
square restaurant and ordered an elaborate
ana expensive breakfast yesterday morning
While waiting for the meal to be served he
requested the cashier TO call for a messen-
ger-boy by telephone, says the Pittsburg
Press. When the boy came he sent him to
a house out Fifth avenue with request for
S25. The man ate his breakfast as if he
were furnishing, and soon disposed of a
large and varied assortment of tuothsome
viauds. Then he leaned back in his chair
for some time as if waiting on the return of
the messenger. Suddenly he made bolt
through the swinging blind doors, nearly
falling all over the street in tile Impetus OF
his dash. Recovering himself, he ran like a
deer to Diamond street, and disappeared
from view before the people in the res
taurant had realized that they were out
nearly 81.
Hardly had the attaches of the restaurant
got over their establishment at the rapid
transit tactics of the stranger when another
surprise was sprung upon them. The mes
senger boy returned and asked for the man
who had sent him on the errand. Then the
entire force in the tabishmentind INDUCED in
a general laugh al the unfortunate boy. He
turned upon his tOrmentorS and remarked
that he was S2j ahead of the game, as he
had received that amount for the stranger
from the woman TO whom he had been seat.
The boy then left after leaving word that
the money would lie found at the office Of
the Postal Telegraph Company.
When Press re, orter called at that Office
shortly afterward one of the men in charge
denied any knowledge of the transaction,
and stated that none OF the messenger boys

The lot on which the building stands cost

four schoOl-rooms, lodge-room, ante-room

A characteristic feature of the Interior is
the three large gas brackets which are pro-
vided with burners so closely resembling
candies that second inspection is neces-

Some years ago, While looking at the clock
at Strashurg, said Mr.. Depew in his Balti-
more lecture, l noticed large party OF
American tourists making the rounds of that
celebrated ancient city. 1 was told by one
of them that while most of the visitors
hugely enjoyed the trip there was, by way
of contrast one among them whom nothing
wonderful in nature and art could touch.
The landscape had no charms for him :;
the Alps did not impress him; the beauties
of Paris and Vienna did not evoke his costa
cies. Nothing that he saw had the slightest
effect of drawing out the least expression of
admiration. Weeks and weeks passed and
the party were dumbfounded al his lack of
appreciation of the sights which met them
on all sides.
Finally il was decided to send a committee
of four-two gentlemen and two ladies-tn
his room. and inquire what it was prevented
his enjoyment of the trip
"Old man." said one of the committee,
''tell us what is the matter. If any one in the
party has displeased you we will dismiss
him. If any wrong has been done you we
shall see that II is remedied, but do tell US
what the trouble is, for we are trying hard
to please you"

CHRIST's FIRST MIRACLE.

Jesus Did Not Separate Himself From
Life's JoyS-Re Giorified Them.
The Bible class of Mrs. Cooper ycster-
day was the scene OF an animated and in
teresting discussion on "The Turning of
Water Into Vine" This miracle, said the
teacher, was the first manifestation OF the
divine glory OF Jesus. 1t is to denoted that
this glory was first disclosed in the sphere
Of home. Distinguished men naturally de-
sire some conspicuous place to show forth
their great talents. They argue that every
thing depends upon their first appearance.
Jesus never posed for public applause. 1t
was simple household demand that evolved
his divine helpfulness. 1t is very COM
forting to know that our practical daily life
is embodied by the forethought of heaven.
That kind of religion which is most thor
oughly practical is the most spiritual Christ
is bountiful giver, and he stoops to our
daily need. We do not need to go apart
from our home life and duty to get at our
religion. The religion of Jesus did not
make him an ascetic. 1t did not frighten
the children, nor send a thrill of terror into
the household. Jesus was welcome at their
feasts. He went, and his mother went also.
1t would be fine thing if young men never
treQueated places where 1t was not proper
for their mothers to 60. Society will be
lifted up when secular things are intUned
with an atmosphere OF the sacred, when the
water of festive life is turned into wine of
consecrated purpose. True religion i'll

The lesson, said Mrs. Cooper, teaches also

till night for loves sweet sake in household
work. may turn the water of service into
the wine of joy by Systematically con-
secrating the meanest things through a min
istry which is not for self. If we follow out
the spirit of this miracle in our daily lives
we shall find that home!y duties may be
transformed into spiritual delights-the
water of encouragement may be transmitted
into the wine of hope. To mix and mngle
in the worlds gladness and not be carried
away captive by its enticements is the priv-
lege of every child of GGd. 10 exult in
life's brightness and to defy its thrall is the
privilege of the Christian disciple. To live

You Can See the Gladiolus Grow.

Did you ever actually see things growP
In these summer days you often see a tree
with buds just ready to explode like pop
corn, and. like the coru, change suddenly TO
masses Of fluffy white. You walk by it and
it is still corn: When you return it has
popped. But did you actually ever see the
explosion, or, better yet, see the growth
when there was no alarm to call your atten-
ton to the change? Well, lie down some
day beside gladiolus bed after recent rain
ana sunshine have made thin crust over
the earth aud when the green spears are
just beginning to push through 1t. You
will see some cracks in the crust and by
ana by little trapdO0r will begin to lift, as
though some small Titan were struggling
underneath. Look sharply now. for ii you
do not you may turn your wandering eyes
back to find the green laborer pushing at the
door without your having seen him come.
Soon he will throw back the cover on its
hinges aud stand there for the first time in
the sunlight an inch above the ground. All
this may be done even in an hour. Few
things grow faster than the gladiOlus.-N. Y.

TIME FOR ACTION.

As already announced, call has
been made upon Blue Earth county
for 81, $40 as her share toward the
Worlds Fair fund for Minnesota
exhibit. The best, quickest and most
equitable method of raising this sum
has not yet been determined, and as
it is question in which every citizen
is equally interested, none should
hesitate in doing whatever he may to
place Blue Earth county among the
first to respond.
Several plans have been suggested,
but none have thus far been adopted.
Ii the amount is to be raised accord
ing to assessed valuation of real and
personal property as returned by the
assessors in 1890, the subjoined table
gives what each town would subscribe.
These figures are taken from the as
SCISSORS books in the county auditors
Office, and are produced on the multi
pie of 17-100 Of a mill on the dollar.
Following is the total valuation Of
the county by towns and the proper
tion of the 81 $40 allotted to each town:

S1,541.11


The above plan of operation has
been suggested, and no one can gain
say it's equity.
Another plan, and one which bids
fair to be popular in several counties
is to secure the amount on two notes
-one payable July 1st, 1892, the 9TH
er January 1st, 1893, same to be signed
by number of responsible persons.
The FREE PRESS has no plan to pro-
pose, but it truly hopes that the en-
terprise and worth of Mankato and
Blue Earth county will find immedi-
ate expression in some plan that will
be carried into execution.
The regular meeting of the Board
of Trade will be held on Monday next,
and the question will then be brought
T up for action. It is not unlikely that
the Board will hold an open session
for the purpose of full and free dis
eussion, and it is hoped that plan Of
action will then be mapped out and
vigorously pushed.
Local pride as well as the interest
and credit of the county should be an
incentive to every citizen to assist in
cause at once so worthy, and it is
confidently believed that such will be
the case. In this matter as in every
other, what is everybodys business
is nobody's business, and if the citiz-
ems will come together under the call
of the Board of Trade, appoint the
necessary committees, the amount ap-
portioned to this county can be easily
and speedily secured.

OF James Parton, who died last Sat.
urday, it is said there was probably nc
man in America who turned out more
works than he. His fame will rest
chiefly upon his biographies, of which
he wrote a great number, although he
was voluminous writer in other lines
being a frequent contributor of the
magazines. His biographies covered
men in nearly all the walks of life
and required vast amount of study
and research. His was truly a busy
life.

SOME time ago some Of the press
asked where the new senator from
South Dakota was, stating that in
the shuttle with the rest Of the calam-
ity shriekers he seemed to be lost.
That he has kept quiet while the
Peffer-Simpsonites have been airing
their alleged GRIEVANCES, is to his
credit. We cannot now recall one
single instance where he has imposed
upon himself the trouble or respon-
sibility Of telling what is best
for his fellow citizens. He may be
filed with as wild notions as any of
the so-called reformers, if so he has
kept his own counsel. But he
has recently made move that will
cause another shrek from the calami-
tyites, and this is an endorsement of
the Republican nominee for congress
from South Dakota, to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of Congressman
Gamble. The report states that one
Of the Independent leaders stated
that little more such talk would
induce the Independents to forego
making a nomination, and so elect
the Republican candidate. If this is
all so; then listen to Sockless Simpson
howl.

MR. CLEVELAND, the great reform
er, the idol of the mugwumps, stand
ing up and asking for the election of
Tammany's ticket, as he did the other
night in Brooklyn, is sight to make
the angels weep, and at the same time
will draw to the imam of destiny, y
the lowest depths of Tammany's fol-
lowing. Mr.. Cleveland has taken a
sudden leap from the high plane of
craftsmanship, to which men like
George William Curtis and the late
James Russell Lowell exalted him. to
the level Of the ward politician. In
his anxiety to win the presidential
nomination he defends the most cor
rupt ring the nation was ever cursed
with. He was said to be better than
his party, but by his late remarks he
be comes an object that ought
to draw blush to the better element
of it.
