You can't belieue

Which one is it?
Sometimes, it may be matter
of doubt. But, in the case of

here's no room for doubt. It's a
latter that can be proved.

all the medicines that claim to cure

that's guaranteed
If it doesn't do all that's claimed

WE NEED 1T.

". II. Gary, agent for the we'll
known western road grader, is doing
fine piece of work for the city, in
rounding up some Of the streets.
Hickory street, from Front to Broad,
has been placed in prime condition,
and Jackson street will be put in the
same shape. These graders have late
ly come into general use in cities, vii
lagos and towns and have proved to
be indispensable for good roads and
streets. Their durability has
been thoroughly tested, they are
easily handled, and save their cost
several times over during a season.
One of the first things which the new
council should do is to purchase
one of these graders, and keep
it at work until our streets have all
been repaired. Itcan be used through
out the summer to keep the dirt and
grass out of the cutters and roadsideS

STREET SPRINKLING.

Saturday afternoon the Board of
Public Works opened bids for the
sprinkling of the streets of the city.
The only bid submitted was one by
VIM. Page, who has done the sprink-
ling for the past two years, and this
was for thirty cents week for each
100 feet. This is three cents higher
than last year. The contract was
awarded. 1t will devolye upon the
council to name the time when the
sprinkling shall begin, and TO lay out
the territory. The streets, especially
Front street, were in terribly dusty
condition to-day, and the walking was
SO extremely unpleasant that few peo-
pie who were not obliged TO be out
were TO be seen on the street. The
sprinkling should be commenced with
out delay. Not only do pedestrians
need it, but the way the dust blew in
to stores and over stocks of goods to-
day made the merchants very weary.
Front. Second and Broad streets
should be sprinkled with no inter
ruption of a half block or so here and
there, as was the case last year.
There was very just complaint IN
dulged in then by those who paid for
sprinkling that the dust from in front
of their neighbours yard, who was ex-
empted from the sprinkling service,
was as bad as though no sprinkling
whatever had been done. In justice
to everybody, let these streets be
sprinkled throughout their length, as
well as all the cross streets.

MORE HOUSES WANTED.

II there lives a man in Mankato
with sufficient enterprise to erect a
dozen or more houses. which could be
rented at from So TO SIS per month,
he could realize a permanent income
and good interest on his investment.
Hardly day passes that we do not
have inquiries for houses at such rent
al as noted. And there is not one in
a desirable portion of the city to be
had
This condition of affairs has existed
for some time. Not infrequently has
the FREE PRESS taken occasion to
speak of the matter, but men able to
put a few thousand dollars into in
yestments of this kind fail to respond.
The result is that we annually lose
many families, the heads Of whom are
looking for a desirable location in
which TO settle to educate their child
rem and give them the advantages of
society and other pleasures which GO to
make life worth the living. and which
can not be found in the smaller vii
lagos.
How much longer is Mankato to suf-
fer this drawback? How much longer
must desirable residents seek other
towns in which to educate their child
ren for want of available houses? In
word, how much longer have we got
TO remain Indifferent to the demands
for more houses, and through indiffer-
ence and neglect place obstacles in
the way of growth and Development?
what is the reason Mankato does
not forge ahead more rapidly. 1t pos
Sesses all the natural advantages one
could ask for. It's location in the
heart Of the richest agricultural Sec
ton in the northwest, coupled with
its own resources should guarantee a
grand and growing city" These were
the words of a farmer friend who has
more than passing interest in our
city, and, like many others is at loss
TO know why we remain in statue quo,
as il were.
There is no apparent reason for this
stagnation. 1t is entirely unwarrant-
ed by our surroundings. If the gentle
zephyrs could take twist through the
whiskers of some of our people and by
so doing, awaken them to realizing
sense of our situation it would be a
God-send. We need something to
cause the scales to fall from off the eyes
of those who have the means to in
vest and don't, and get them to look
through optics unobscured by selfish
ness and undimmed by jealousy.

MUST PROVIDE AN ARMORY.

The bill requiring each county in
tie state containing regularly or
ganized militia company to provide
an armory was passed by the last legis-
lature, and is doubtless now a law. If
a suitable place cannot be rented, an
armory building must be erected at
the expense of the county The men,
bers of Co. T. are doubtless anxious
that a building be put up, as they
never had very satisfactory location,
so far as room for drilling is concerned.
The bill was enthusiastically sup
ported by the National Guard Associa-
tion, and it is expected that it viii

BUILDING IMPROVEMENTS.

Architect Gerlach has drawn plans
for quite number Of new buildings
and Improvements to old ones. Among
those which have not been already
mentioned are the following:
Wenzel Huettle is eXcavating for a
two-story brick stone building oppos-
lite the big mill. 1t will cost So, 200.

A. S. Davis is about to build frame
residence on Davis s. Ogle's addition
at cost of 81, 800.
Mrs. J. Parryis to have her residence
on South Fourth street remodled and
an addition built to it, brick veneered.
The cost will be about 81, 500.
Harry W. Brown is about to build
frame house house on one of his lots
in West Mankato, to cost $500.
S. Zimmerman will erect a two-story
brick on North Front street. % by 60
feet, at cost of 1000.
r. E. Brown is to have his house on
Jackson street, the residence of the

addition to it constructed. The i'm
provements contemplated will cost
81, 900.
These, with such buildings as we
have previously referred TO, including
the high school, Presbyterian church,
and government building, will make
a rather lively building season. Many
more buildings will be commenced in
the fall.

A STIFF SENTENCE.
John Rozeils VIII Raise No More
For at Least Five Years.

The trial of John RoZells on the
charge of raising 81 silver certificate
to SO was completed Friday after
noon and given TO the Jury at 5:l5 p.
NJ. The many objections raised by E.
st. Julian Cox TO the Indictment were
overruled. A clear case was made
against Rozells, although he had an
ingenious defense. He is a French
Canadian, and claimed that he had a
$50 bill which he had changed, and
that as he was not much acquainted
with United States money he was
swindled by having the forged notes
passed upon him. His story was not
entirely consistent, however, and the
jury was out but fifteen minutes. A
verdict of guilty on each of the five or
six counts upon which RoZells was in
dicted was rendered. Judge Nelson
then sentenced him on all the counts.

1t was, as whole, the most successful

caslOn ever given in the city by this
lodge. and much credit is reflected
upon the order through the manner in
which everything passed of. The
wives of the members prepared. in
their usual excellent way, repast
betting the occasion, which was par
taken OF by about 800 people. The
tables We're handsomely decorated
with fruits, salads, cakes, and the
more substantials of life, while the
lodge room was tastefully and attrac-
lively beautified with flowers, plants
and emblems of the order
In addition TO members of the order
and their families, a limited number
OF Intimate friends were invited and
enliyened the occasion with their pres
ence.
Eagle Lake was represented by about
thirty Odd Fellows and their wives,
and they all entered into the spirit of
the occasion with that fraternal feel
ing which is so characteristic Of the
organization.
The program was replete with inter-
est, amusement and good cheer. Rev.
Mr.. Rule delivered the principal adj
dress OF the evening, dwelling briefly
upon the early history of the order and
OF the noble work it has done and is
doing for humanity. Odd Fellowship
is subject inexhaustible in material
for good words and valuable teachings.
1t is an order that has relieved the
distress of millions Of our race, educat-
ed thousands of orphans, paid out mil
lions for relief Of distressed, and
through its multiferious acts Of kind
and charitable deeds made the world
better and happier. 1t is a beacon
light TO the footsteps of its members,
and through its teachings and practice
OF the great principles of charity and
beneVolence, it has work to perform
that TO certain extent christianizes
its members, softens down the asperi-
ties Of life and lifts much of the bur-
dens from the shoulders Of the unfor-
tunate
We cannot speak individually the
various parties who kindly lent their
assistance TO make the evenings pro-
gram so enjoyable. Several impromp-
tue remarks were made by old and an
Gent members: vocal music was rem
dered by two or three male QuartetS.
and solos were given by both male and
female. The two little midgets from
Mapleton, Miss Bessie Paegel and Miss
Mamie DietZ, sang beautifully and
they were received with such enthusi-
asm as TO make it known to them
that they were more than appreciated.
The dialogue between little Car
RE Gerlich and Miss Boehmer
was particularly well rendered and
heartily enjoyed.
At about eleven o'clock the program
was completed, and all returned home
full well pleased with having been
there.
