AN INTERESTING LETTER.

Leaving MankatO, via Waterville,

l went straight to Hot Springs, Ark.
When we arrived at Little Rock the
hotel and boarding house runners
came through the cars and we were
thoroughly bored from there to Hot
Springs where new lot were let loose
and we had no peace until they found
we were domiciled on the mountain
side near the baths. The Doctors
drummers were like flock of sly foxes.
They were SO sympathetic, SO inter-
ested that we have a successful physi-
clan, one who could cure, and if we
would only go with them they would
introduce us to one they knew had
cured several persons suffering from
just such complaints as ours.

WORLDS FAIR NOTES.

Minnesota will exhibit at the Fair
the finest and most attractive cOllec
tion of the celebrated pipestone ever
seen in this or any other country. A
gentleman at Pipestone City has APP
piled for space, and says he will make
this feature of the states exhibit pc
culiarly attractive ard interesting.
Two granite columns for the Wo-
mans Building have been contributed
by Mrs. Alice Houghton, Lady Manag-
er, of Washington. The columns are
fifteen feet high, twenty inches in
diameter, and will be placed in the
main entrance on the east size of the
Woman's Building.
The Colorado Marble & Mining
Company has offered to donate suffici-
ent marble to erect the Colorado State
building at the Worlds Fair. The
only conditions the company makes
are that its members shall be con-
suited with reference to theconstruc-
tiOn of the building, SO that the effect
and beauty of the marble can be
brought out to the best advantage,
and that the State pay the railroad
freight on the material from Colorado
to Chicago. 1t is claimed that in du-
rability, tone, color, and finish the
Colorado marble is equal to any that
is imported from Italy.
The Executive Committee of the
Illinois Woman's Alliance has asked
for the privilege of making display
at the Fair which will show the evil
results of child labor.
The Oriental Consistory has APP
pointed committee to devise plans
and programme for the entertain
ment of all Scottish Rite Masons who
shall attend the Exposition.
Half a million pansies, one hundred
thousand roses, and millions of other
flowers, including every known variety
and species, will be seen at the Ex-
position. The horticultural exhibit
will be on scale never before at
tempted in the history of the world
Mr.. ThOrp, OF the Horticulture division
estimates that the equipment of the
horticultural building, including the
purchase price of plants, will be $3.50,
600, and the total expense of the dis
play 10000. The fioriculturists o.
the country will donate large sha. e
of the plants. Ten of the sixteen
acres of ground on the wooded island
will be planted in flowers. The
shores of the island will be left wild
for scenic effect, and the waters
around the margin of the island will
be bright with water lilies and other
aquatic vegetation, while the interior
of the island will be planted with
roses, rhododendrons, and lilies, be-
sides vast variety of wild flowers,
which are are at present preserved
in nursery on the island.

Hon. DANIEL BUCK delivered an
address before the Waseca County fair
and the Radical gives his remarks in
full. The speech was full of sensible
suggestions and good advice, and if
needed by those who listened, good
results will follow. In discussing the
many interests of the farmer, the far
mer's wife and children, and the way
to secure happiness, Mr.. Buck gave
some timely advice to the household
about ue-lashing and fault-fnd-
ing. Nearly all of the divorce cases
that l have had in the thirty years of
legal practice" said the speaker,
'have been caused by uncontrolled
temper. We talk about monopoly,
railroad rings, wheat rings, bogus but
ter and numerous other enemies of
the people, but the greatest enemy

ing, and making everybody miserable.
Such persons are the wildcats of the
human species. Such people make
bad neighbors. There is not much
worth quarreling and fighting for in
this world anyway. Life is too short
to spend much time in abusing each
other. And why can we not be as
charitable to the living as to the silent
dead? The river of death flows near
every threshold and we know not the
hour when it's overflow will sweep
some one beyond the crystal sea.
Why have a hundred dollar lawsuit
over a two-cent treapass. Why quar-
rel because an estray chicken or pig
eating an ear of corn. Be neigh
borly, be magnanimous, be social,
and kindness will respond to
kindness, and the bright star of peace
and happiness will shine over your
nelghborhoods even as the star of
Bethlehem shone over the spot where
lay the infant Savior of the world"

The METHODIsTS RESOLVE.
The Methodist conference at
Red Wing Thursday adopted the fol-
lowing raSol,1tiop.

The Methodist conference at
Red Wing Thursday adopted the fol-
lowing resolution:
Whereas, Much has been said both for and
e against me opening OF the Columbian Exposl-
opening would be sad violation OF the law OF
Goo, an outrage on the conscience, wishes and
desires OF all truly moral and religious people,
therefore
Res0l0ed, BY the Minnesota conference of the
NJ. q. church that we enter our most solemn
protest against such opening, and that. in case
not to attend such exposition, and to use our
lnIuence TO prevent as many Others from at
tending as possible
Rcsotred, That these resolutions be published
bopn IN the religious and secular papers.
No one will object to the action of
the conference in asking for the clos
ing Of the Worlds Fair on the Sab
bath. Many, indeed, will endorse its
position on this point, as there is a
widely prevailing sentiment among
Christians of all denominations that
1T would be un-American and unbe-
coming the dignity of the country to
open the Fair on Sunday. But the
ministers went step too far when
they embodied in their declaration
sentiments more becoming anarchists
than Christians and stopped to the
level Of dictators and boycotters by
pledging themselves mot to attend
such exposition" and to use 'their
influence to prevent as many others
from attending as possible" if their
wishes are not needed. Such a rash
proposition by any body of men
would be open to criticism, but
as it does from confer
ence OF high minded ministers of the
gospel, il is passing strange and en-
tirely inconsistent with their position
as Christian teachers.
The gentlemen should have been
confetti with expressing their opposi
tion to the Sunday opening, and if
they pleased resolved to use their ut
most endeavors to secure the ends
sought. To threaten boycott if their
wishes shall not be needed is beneath
the dignity of such an august body of
gentlemen as were gathered in Red
Wing, and they will no doubt see the
force and effect of stand so radical
and unusual.
The FREE PRESS does not hesitate
to say that it believes the exposition
should be closed to the public on Sun
day TAat day isreeognized as sacred
to Gods work and His teachings, and
the moral influence on the people of
the country, if nothing else, should
prompt the managers in closing the
doors to this great Fair on that day.

DOES 1T PAYs

MankatO has been rich SOIL Tor spec
ulative newspapers from abroad. Our
people, anxious to make Mankato re-
sources known far and wide are easy
preys for the itenerant schemer to
drop down upon with his glib tongue
and fascinating rhetoric, anent the
wonderful results to be accomplished
through write up" in his particular
publication. 1.-THE cost is nominal
and the advantages great" is the way
he pictures it. The st. Paul Pioneer
Press and Globe have had their turn.
a fellow came along afterward and
was going to set Mankato tout of
sight" with the influx CT capital and
manufactures. He gathered UP a
dozen or fifteen cuts, wrote up the
different institutions fairly well, took
out several hundred dollars and here
we are.
Now comes pleasant, affable gen.
tleman, representing Leslie's Illustrat
ed Weekly. He produces fifteen or
eighteen handsome cuts, writes up
the industries that pay two prices
for the printed cuts; ignores all
other interests and industries; says
we have five large school buildings
when we have seven; misplaces the
names of owners. under several Of the
largest represented industries: says
the Standard Fiber Ware Company
twas organized in 1885 with cap
ital of SOC" when the capital at the
time of organization was $50, 600,
takes the train with seven or eight
hundred dollars of good money for
his laundering work, and here we are
again.
Does it pay? That is a question
that should come home to every bust
ness man. Mankato has daily
paper published 312 times year and
every issue contains something of in
terest to the city. Beside this she
has six weekly papers, equal to an
other 312 daily issues making total
of 624 distinct issues each year.
What Mankato is and what she is
to be the papers of this city and not
those from abroad must receive full
share of credit. 1t seems to us, and
we believe the situation will appear
the same to others, that inasmuch as
the home papers are part and parcel
of the commercial artery through
which the life blood of the city flows
they are entitled to whatever money
literally inclined citizens may wish to
invest in getting out attractive pub
LEGATIONS. Such work can as well and
much more effectively be done at home
than abroad.
The FREE PRESS has an invested
capital of s15, 900 in it's business: gives
employment to fourteen laborers: sup
ports six families and eXpends with
in the city over ST., 900 each year. The
other newspapers in the city also give
employment to considerable labor and
eXpend a good deal Of money. All pay
taxes and help in thousands of ways
to keep the wheels of business run
ming. Should they not be the recip-
tents of what business the city has in
the way of advertising? They give
thousands of dollars worth Of work
every year for which they do not get
one mill pay.
All that these foreign publications
care for town is what money they
can make out of it, The home paper
is equally interested with every other
citizen in making it prosperous and
progressive.

1901 SEASON 1892

We have just completed and ready to
show our new stock for the Fall and Winter
season now approaching. In consideration
of an enormous crop in our section of the
country, we have bought an unusually large
stock of goods, and like in everything else
the more goods we can sell, the smaller
margin we can satisfy ourselves with. We
have prepared for large business this fall
in consequence of which we marked our
goods at Extremely LOW PRICES.

A BATTERY IN ACTION.
The Thrilling Sight Which Cheered til
Dropping Soldiers Hearts.

The Thrilling Sight Which Cheered the
Dropping Soldiers Hearts.
One who has fought on many bat
tle-feld writes the following thrilling
description of the work of battery of
six guns:
Did you ever see battery take posi-
tion?
1t hasn't the thrill of a cavalry
charge, nor the grimness of line of
bayonets moving slowly and deter
minedly on, but there is a peculiar ex-
citement about it that makes old vet
Grams rise in their saddles and cheer.
We have been fighting at the edge of
the woods Every cartridge box has
been emptied once or more, and one
fourth of the brigade has melted away
in dead and wounded and missing. Not
cheer is heard in the whole brigade.
We know that we are being driven foot
by foot; and that when we break once
more the line will go to pieces and the
enemy will pour through the gap.
Here comes help.
Down the crowded highway gallops e
battery, withdrawn from some other
position to save ours. The field fence
is scattered while you could count thir-
ty and the guns rush for the hill behind
u.s. Six horses to piece-three riders
to each gun over dry bitches where a
farmer could not drive a wagon, through
clumps of bushes, over logs n foot thick,
every horse on the gallop, every rider
lashing his team and yelling-the sight
behind us makes us forget the foe in
front The guns jump two feet high as
| the heavy wheels strike rock or log, but
not horse slackens his pace, nor can
noneer loses his seat. Six guns, six cais-
sons, sixty horses, eighty men race for
the brow of the hill as if he who reached
it first would be knighted.
A moment ago the battery was con-
fused mob. We look again and the six
guns are in position, the detached horses
hurrying away, the ammunition chests
open, and along our line runs the com
mand: Give them one more volley and
fall back to support the guns" We have
scarcely obeyed when boom! boom
opens the battery, and jets of fire jump
down and scorch the green trees under
which we fought and despaired.
The shattered old brigade has q
chance to breathe for the first time in
three hours as we formed line and lie
down. What grim, cool fellows those
/ cannoneers are. Every man is per
feet machine. Bullets splash dust il
their faces, but they do not vince Bul
lets sing over and around, they do no
dodge There goes one to the earth
shot through the head as he spongeC
his gun. That machinery loses jus
one beat, misses just one cog in thu
wheel, ami tsen works away again a
before.
Perrysburg journal. (Perrysburg, Wood Co., O. [Ohio]) 186?-1965, 1891-06-06

Every gun is using a short-fuse shell.
The ground shakes and trembles, the
roar shuts out all sounds from line
three miles long, and the shells so
shrielSing into the swamp to cut trees
short off, to NOW great gaps in the
bushes, to hunt out and shatter and
mangle men until their corpse can not
be recognized as human. You would
think a tornado was bowling through
the forest, followed by pillows of FIRE,
and yet men live through it-aye, press
forward to capture the battery. We
can hear their shouts as they form for
the rush.
Now the shells are changed for grape
and canister, and guns are fred so fast
that all reports blend into one mighty
roar. The shrek of shell is the wick
edest sound in war, but nothing makes
the flesh crawl like the demonical sing.
ing, purring whistling grape-shot, and
the serpent-lil1e hiss of canister. Mems
legs and heads are torn from bodies,
and bodies cut in two. A round shot or
shell takes two meu out of the rank as
it crashes through. Grape and canister
NOW swath and pile the dead on top
of each other.
Through the smoke we see a swarm
of men. 1t is not 4 battle-line, but
mob of men desperate enough to bathe
their bayonets in the flame of the guns.
Tho guns leap from the ground, almost,
as they are depressed on the foe, and
shrieks and screams and shouts blend
into one awful and steady cry. Twenty
men out of the battery are down, and
the firing is interrupted. The foe ac-
cept it as sign of wavering and come
rushing on. They are not ten feet away
when the guns give them a last shot.
That discharge picks living men off
their feet and throws them into the
swamp, blackened bloody mass.
Up, now, as the enemy are among the
guns! There is silence of ten Sec
onds, and then the flash of more than
5000 muskets and rush forward with
| bayonets. For what? Neither on the
right nor left nor in front of us is liv-
ing foe! There are corpses around us
which have been struck by three, four
and even six bullets, and nowhere on
this acre of ground is wounded man.
! The wheels of the gun can not move
until the blockade of dead is removed
Men can not pass from caisson to gun
without climbing over windrows of
dead. Every gun and wheels smeared
with blood; every foot of grass has its
horrible stain.
