ONE OF MRS. JACK" GARDyERs JEWELS.
From The Boston Globe.

There are several ladies' In Boston who make
precious stones the chief feature OF their ornaments
Mrs. Gardner, for instance, has stone of wonderful
beauty which she shows occasionally to her guests.
II is sort OF diamond, but instead OF rejecting
the dazzling splendOr Of rainbow cOOrs 1t throws out
a steady light, bright pure and luminous and looks
as If the centre contained drop OF some mysterousy
beautiful liquid.
She bought it in India, and paid the fabulous sum Of
"a 600 for It, .
knowing how religOusly austere she rs. think 1t
is more than likely she values II not ornament,
but as an amulet OF charity and beauty.

MAN.

Oft ruled by woman. though themselves are kings.
Grandy heroic, vain In smaller things. .
They do great deeds-and great rewards they claim !:
They live for money, II they die for fame.
Mastered by passion. changing for a freak.
Their hearts arc soft, but very seldom break.
Each for himself creates mimic throne
And claims court to worship him alone.
Their larger minds despise the meaner sins;
They strike with swords, they do not prick with pins.
Brave to the world, they face home trials iii =
They eat the fruit and blame the woman still

DEATH OF F. BYERSDORF.

Mr.. Ferdinand Byersdorf, an old and
highly respected citizen of Mcpherson,
died at his home Thursday night, OF a
lung disease. Last Decoration Day
he caught a severe cold, and it settled
in his lungs, and assumed the nature
of consumption. He was strong,
healthy man, but the disease Slapped
his strength until it terminated fatal
~. OF late he suffered considerable
pain.
Mr.. Byersdorf was 6S years of age
last Sept. Goth. He was born in Prus-
STA. and came to America in 1856, set
Ting in Wisconsin. In 1864 he moved
to this county, and has since resided
here. raising family Of six sons and
one daughter, who, with wife, sur
yive him. The diseased, through en-
ergy and hard work, became the own
er of large farm, and was generally
considered well off. He possessed the
friendship of all the older settlers in
the county, and to them his death
will be shock.
The funeral occurred Sunday.

ONE OUT, ANOTHER IN.

City Treasurer Sherk informs us
that he will not be candidate for re-
nomination to the position as treas
urer He has made most accept
able officer, kind and accommodating, and
during the time that he has held the
position he has more than proved the
wisdom of his selection. Mr.. Sherk
will take with him only the best
words and wishes of all with whom
he has come in contact in the trans
action of his official business. The
records of the office were never better
kept, or the collections more prompt
ly made.
Mr.. J. J. Edwards announces that
he is in the race for the nomination
at the hands of the Republicans.
Mr.. Edwards would make a first-class
officer, should he be chosen, and is in
every way capable of taking up the
work where Mr.. Sherk leaves it off.
He is an old citizen, trustworthy and
honorable. His unfortunate affection
of an impaired hearing, while it would
not affect his usefulness in the treas
urer's Office, renders him incapable of
performing many other kinds Of labor.

G. F. PIPER'S RESIDENCE SOLD.

Mr.. G. T. Piper's residence proper
ty, at the corner of Broad and Liber-
tystreets, has been sold to Alice M,
wife of D. L. Morse, owner Of the
MankatO Mineral Springs. The con-
sideration is $500. Mr.. Piper re-
ceiyes, in part payment, forty acres of
land adjoining the mineral springs
The sale was arranged by W. p. COT
fin, and while the papers have not yet
been transferred, it is considered a
settled thing.
This property comprises four or five
large lots, and is one of the most beau
tiful residence sites in the city. The
house is a substantial stone structure
and was built by ex-senator Wilkin-
son some thirty years ago. The price
is very reasonable. Mr.. and Mrs.
Morse will move in at once, we under
stand
1t is rumored that the house is to
be enlarged and used as sanitarium,
in connection with the mineral
springs. No better location for such
an institution could be found.

THE DEATH WATCH.

Sheriff Glynn placed death watch
over LEM Thursday, and it will be re-
tanned until his case is finally disposed
Of. Mr.. Stebach, of this city, went on
last night, and to-day E. F. Dunn, of
Eagle Lake, was put on. They will
hereafter divide the "a hours Of the
day between them, each taking half
the night and half the day.
These preparations seem to point to
the carrying out of the sentence,
though no official notice has been re-
ceived that Gov. Merriam refuses to
interfere with the execution of the
sentence. LEM has believed all along
that he would not hang, but this
morning he was much discouraged,
and his hopes are DESERVING him. The
fact that Clifton Holden is to hang
April 3rd, gives color to the belief
that the date for Lenz's execution
will be set for some time in April.
Word from Gov Merriam is soon eX-
Dected
The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1891-03-13

that he had not come for the purpose
of stirring UP hornets nest. He
had thought that the meeting was for
the purpose of uniting on mayor,
and all other officers as well. He did
not suppose that it was any more a
usurpation to nominate aldermen in
the absence in a portion of the voters
than to nominate a mayor in their
absence. He had no fish to fry.
Gen. Pope stated that he favored
Judge Torrey's amendment. = Judge
Torrey also again supported his
amendment.
On motion of Mr. Hunt the vote by
which Mr.. Torrey's amendmant was
lost be reconsidered.
Judge Torrey moved to amend so
that there would be four from each
precinct on the committee, two to be
from each party. This received no
second.
Judge Torrey's original amendment
was then carried. The chair was
given power to appoint the committee,
which he said he would do as early as
practicable and announce through
the press this week. With this, an.
adjournment was taken.

MANKATO MEN COLLAR A THIEF,

Two Mankato gentleman, Frank
Fowler and Henry Robinson, had an
adventure at st Paul Thursday even
ing. which resulted in the capture of
slick sneak thief They were talk
ing together in the car as the evening
train pulled into the union depot at
St. Paul. Just then Mr.. Fowler
noticed stranger putting on his
Mr.. Fowler'sl overcoat and accosted
him. The fellow ran out Of the car,
closely pursued by both gentlemen
A lively and exiting chase then oc-
Cured through the depot yard, over
and around trains, until the thief
was finally captured by Mr.. Robinson.
Max Wiser, from whom we learn the
particulars, was present and assisted.
The prisoner was turned over to the
o olice. This was probably not his
first offense of his in this line, for as
the writer was on the evening train
coming into ST. Paul from Minneapo-
lis Sunday evening, a travelling man
three seats distant lost an over
coat in the same manner, but the
theft was not discovered I'M
til a few moments afterwards, by
which time the thief had disappeared
in the crowd at the union depot.

SATISFIED TO STAY AT HOME.

Three young lads ranging in age
from eleven to thirteen years, the
sons of Messrs. w. p. Coffin, S. F.
Barney and John b. Johnson, con-
cluded early last week to launch
out and see something of the world.
They settled upon Wednesday night,
and took the evening train on the
Milwaukee road, going to Wells.
From there they went to Austin, get
ting at the latter place at midnight
and spending the remainder of the
night enjoying the hard comfort of
the waiting room seats. Their reso-
luton gradually began to ooze out,
and by morning they concluded to re-
turn home. Not having sufficient
money, they were passed back to
Wells by the kind hearted railroad
employees.
In the meanwhile the parents Of
the boys were suffering untold agonies
over the disappearance of the young
sters. Their feelings were not a whit
relieved when they learned from
some young companions of the boys
that they had run away. The police
were notified late at night, and tele-
graphed along the road for the rail-
road agents to hold the boys. The
latter were told on their return to
Wells that they were to be arrested,
and were consequently much terrified.
They easily slipped away and started
on the run up the track toward Min
nesota Lake. Taking the wrong
track at Y they were obliged to
walk six miles across the open prairie
to the right track. After a fifteen
mile walk, they reached Minnesota
Lake well tired out. There they were
taken in charge and Thursday evening
returned home. Theywere glad enough
to return, and will not soon leave
again.
Why the lads should leave their
comfortable homes, surrounded by
every care and kindness that loving
parents could bestow is inconceivable,
and is painful reflection for the par
ents of the lads. Any other boys who
are meditating running away from
home should consider well the Incl
dents and outcome of the little trip
taken by the three boys who last night
returned to ponder at leisure over

oUININE OVERCOATS.

Few people have any idea of the
amount of quinine that is consumed in a
period of time or of that sold by single
dealer in the drug. Extravagant 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 comfort
able top coat for winter wear. This time
of re year overcoats are out of season,
ano ne question uppermost is how to
keep cool and where. Rest and recrea-
ton come in that line. Thoughts ofthis
kind should lead one to inquire of any
agent of the Minneapolis q 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. 7. & P.
A., Minneapolis.
