ENDEAyOR CONVENTION.

Mankato is about to have the largest
convention in its history-the State
Convention of the Endeavor Society.
This will bring from 700 to 1900 strang-
ers to the city. Like all similar gath
erings, it will tend to advertise our
beautiful city, besides bringing to US
the inspiration of the most interesting
and hopeful young people of the State.
The convention last year at Roches-
ter was a notable success, and our
people will have to arouse themselves
to equal the heartiness and system
with which that little city disposed of
the convention. Not only must our
homes be open to those christian
young people, but we should all con-
tribute something to the necessary eX-
penses of the convention. The cost
is comparatively small, but it will fall
upon those who have as yet no income
of their own. Our merchants might
well guarantee the expenses of the
meeting. If our visitors spend not
over dollar apiece in the city, it will
more than double the amount asked
of our citizens. Let us respond with
proper pride to the plans of the COM
mittee Of arrangements who will soon
wait upon our people with subscrip-
ton paper.

THE CORN PALACE.

The Sioux City Corn Palace is mag
nificent beyond description. 1t is a
monster structure, beautiful in archi-
lecture, respondent in decoration
and dazzling in attractiveness.
A visit to this Palace is worth many
times it's cost. The varied and unique
works of art to be seen everywhere on
the exterior as well as interior of the
structure is truly sight worthy to
behold, and long to be remembered.
Lnelike pictures of well known men
and women are ever and anon pre-
sented to the eye, wrought in corn
husks with natural colors so blended
and interviewer as to give charming
effect. Animals of all kinds are also
wrought in like manner, while the
various designs of drapery, wall paper
and other decorations battle descrip-
tiOn.
The exhibits of agricultural pro-
ducts are no less inviting and attrac-
tive. Many of the best and most fer
tile counties of Iowa, Nebraska and
South Dakota are represented with
displays of wheat, oats, corn and all
kinds of fruit and vegetables, which
catch the eye of the interested sight
seer and he stands perfectly amazed
at the magnificence of some of the
exhibits. One of the most attractive
booths in the building is the collection
of Black Hills specimens of native
stone, mineral, gold quartz etc. made
by Messrs Sidney & Moore, of Hot
Springs, S. d. The rich output of
this territory is SO deliberately pre-
sented, as to give one most compre-
hensive idea of what the Hills are and
what hidden wealth they contain.
To gain anything like satisfactory
conception of the beauty of the Pal
ace personal visit is the only requi-
site. With good weather the attend
ance from this out promises all that
the management could ask.

Mankato as Viewed by Stranger.

Editor Free Press:
Attracted to your city by goodly
report, l came, saw, and must say L
am well pleased. Walking out on Sun
day morning 1 wandered across one Of
the bridges under which flows the
Minnesota river, whose clear water
and sandy bed stand out in pleasing
contrast to some of the other rivers in
this part of the state, which wend
their weedy way midst mud and slime.
From the river bank to the bluffs be-
yond is a long stretch of park-like land
with grassy glades and wooded knobs,
while on the bluff side are bushes,
creepers and plants of various kinds
which cluster at the feet of trees of
nobler growth. A winding road leads
to the table land above from whence
a fine view of the city can be obtained.
At intervals appear the Quarries from
whence come the stone for which
Mankato is famous. The surrounding
country is both fertile and attractive,
as evidenced by the crops and the
pleasing succession Of hill and dale,
woodland and pasture, and also by the
comfortable and well-built farm
houses and residences to be seen on
every hand.
Let me in a word or two look at
Mankato from somewhat fanciful
view or standpoint. In the first place
she is undoubtedly "built upon rock
and, further, has the eternal bluffs "
for a bulwark. Furthermore, her
court house stands on hill, where
justice is exalted, and in position to
be seen of all men.
Your city has abundance Of schools,
hotels, churches, and is also supplied
with electric and gas lights, water
works and other comforts, besides
boasting of a healthy and picturesque
location. Surely these qualities go to
make Mankato a city desirable alike
to the business man, the home-seeker
and the investor. With all these and
many other advantages, it will surely
be pardoned if the rising and ambi-
tious youth of the city, with COM
mendable espiTet d'coTpS, assert
Mankatonians

Nations,
Kindred
And

HIGH SCHOOL CHAMPIONS.

Through an error we omitted to
mention in Mondays issue. the &C
count of the game of ball which took
place between the High and Normal
school mines on Saturday afternoon at
the Franklin grounds.
The game was the fifth and last one
of the series, and as both of the op-
posing teams had won two victories,
naturally there was any quantity Of
''ginger" in the players of both mines
as they took their positions on the
field. Each side determined to bring
the championship game to their
school. The High school boys started
off well in the first inning by making
runs. Helmer not only performed
excellent work in the box, but made
5 runs beside. Brett also made 5runs
and covered himself with glory and
dust. The Normals played well, but
their opposers wers too much for them
hence the championship goes to the
High school boys. The players were:

perty Of each county, as rendered for
the year 1890.
Second. That of the moneys so
raised in the interests of the World IS
Fair, the lady commissioners repre-
senting this state on the Board of
lady managers, shall be entitled to
at least five per cent. of the
same, to be used through an organiZa-
ton of their own, approved by this
Board"
The plan herewith proposed needs
no explanation, and leaves to the
OF such means as they may deem adj
ylsable, for raising their cOunty'S
quota.
The following methods have been
suggested: 1st: the making of notes
drawn by responsible residents of
each county, upon which money may
be had upon call. End: through per-
sonal solicition for out and out dona-
tions to the county's obligation. Bird:
the holding Of popular concerts, lee
lures, fairs, etc, the profits Of which
shall go to the Worlds Fair fund.
The Board is of the opinion that
the first means is the simplest and
promises the most speedy results. 1t
is proposed to issue certificate to
every subscriber towards this fund,
setting forth the circumstances under
which such subscription was given, to
the end that should the legislature at
its next session make an appropriation
sufficient to cover the amount now
solicited, each donor would have the
evidence Of such donation and be re-
imbursed. The plan herewith submit
ted is certainly fair, though there are
mixed with it, elements Of delay and
uncertainty. 1t will be subjected to
criticism unless every county responds
in the payment of it's Just quota.
If, however, few public spirited
citizens of every county will promptly
undertake and energetically push this
matter every obstacle will be sur
mounted, and a gratifying success fol-
low.
Surely this enterprise makes it's ap-
peal to our gratitude, to national and
state pride, and to enlightened self
interest,

100000 Expected by the End of the

Banker Says.
New YORK, June 20.--Financial circles
are agitated over the announcement from
Washington that the last Treasury state
ment shows a deficiency Of $7S7, 10a. This
is the first time in many years that the
Treasury has had deficit.
The Treasury officials are not disturbed
by the situation and say that Unole Sam
is amply able to pay all his obligations
on demand.
1t is pointed out that this does not in
clude $2S, 1897, 412 of government funds
on deposit with national banks and $780,
220, 900 of fractional silver. It is esti-
mated that the receipts of the Treasury
for the balance of the month will largely
exceed the expenditures, and there will
probably be a surplus Of $1,000, 900 by
July 1.
A leading banker in discussing the
financial outlook said: Tin case an un-
usual drain has to be made on the Treas
ury in order to move the crops, the SEQ
retsry, If the 4 1-Y bonds are extended,
can purchase considerable 4 per cent.

HIS WIFE A GYPSY
Farmer Halladay's Bride to
Be Tried To-Day.
PLAYING THE INSANITY DODGE.
She Shrieks Continually and Tears the
Clothes From Her Body

Charged With Arson, Horse Stealing and
Murder-The NewburE Jail Physician
Says He Is Positive She Is NADIA
Rowing Band OF Gypsies Hire Attorneys
to Defend Her.
NEwBURe, N. Y, June'2 0.-Jail Physi-
clan Harmore regards as insane Mrs.
Paul Halliday, Farmer Halladay's young
gypsy wife, arrested here yesterday for
horse stealing and charged with arson,
resulting in her stepson's death.
She does not recognize anybody or al
lude to the charges. One of the stolen
horses was recovered from Farmer Jim
Scott, in Ulster County, who had Glynn,
the woman's companion, with whom he
dealt, arrested there. The other horse
and surrey were found at the home of a
man named Wyatt in Sullivan County.
Halliday insists that his wife is sham
ing. She is gypsy, and he is sure she
fired the house to cause his sons death.
The Recorder refused to give him $31 he
said his wife had stolen, as there was no
proof Of theft. He has returned home to
Birmingham, Sullivan County. His wife's
examination will take place here this at
ternoon. A rowing band Of gypsies have
hired an attorney to defend the woman.
After the woman was placed in Jail she
continued giving apparent evidences Of
insanity. She yelled loudly in her cell at
times and in the night continued tearing
up her clothing until hardly q vestige of
1t remained upon her. Besides this she
has done things during her incarceration
that probably no human being would do
If in their right mind.

British CoIumbIans Incensed Over the
Seal Agreement.
WASHINGTON, June 20.-An Ottawa
special says that the agreement arrived
at between the British Government and
the authorities at Washington regarding
the killing Of seals in Behring Sea, has
raised storm of indignation in British
Columbia.
Premier Robinson will petition the
Governor General to protest on behalf Of
the Pacific Province to the imperial au-
thorities against the agreement.
Over twenty Canadian sealers have
been fitted up at a cost of over half a
million dollars, and have sailed north
from Victoria to engage in fishing for
seals during the coming season.
The British Columbians are greatly in
censed at the unexpected manner in
which the British Government has acted
in the matter without considering Cana
dian interests. Tho Government at OF
tawa is also coming in for a share of abuse
from them. They claim that the Minis
ter of Marine deceived them by stating
in Parliament that the Imperial Govern
ment had been notified Of the Canadian
interests involved and that no agree
ment would DO sanctioned that was
prejudioial to Canadian interests.
