AN ENTERPRISING ESTABLISH
MENT.


Two representatives of the FREE
PRESS took an hour off this forenoon
TO look over North Mankato, and it
proved to be time well spent. That
suburb is rapidly developing into a
small citySand has an enyiable future
before it. Where ten years ago one of
the reporters was won't TO pursue the
festive rabbit and partridge through
thick woods, now stands prosperous,
thriving village, which will in few
years, if not consolidated with this
city, claim the county seat of Nicollet
county. One of the most prosperous
firms In the village is that of Wheeler
& Bennett. manufacturers of brick.
These gentlemen have without doubt
the finest yard in this portion of the
state. Starting in four years ago in a
small way, they now manufacture A.
100000 brick year, and employ a
force OF 80 to 40 men. The yard, in its
arrangements, is a model. The dry
ing yard is as level as billiard table,
and since last year has been doubled
In size until it now extends the length
OF block. The ovens are on one side
and four mixers are operated on the
other by horse power. These last ma
chimes are only used in the best regu-
lated yards, and increase the good
qualities of the brick. At present
$1,000 brick day are turned out.
These are finding their way into all
portions of the Northwest. A day or
two ago the firm closed a contract for
100000 brick for the Owatonna state
school. The brick for the new Man.
kato high school. Stephen Lamm's
new store front and r. D. Hubbard's
addition TO his barn come from this
yard. 1t is of an excellent color and
exceedingly durable, and as these
qualities are becoming known the de-
mand for it is rapidly increasing.
Dir. Wheeler has % acres set out as
his produce gardens, and every kind
of vegetable that grows in this climate
If now growing rapidly on these rich
and well cultivated acres. The young
plants are started in hot-beds. This
garden is large enough to supply a
city of twice the size of Mankato.
Mr.. Wheeler's wagons visit every part
of this city every day, and st. Peter
and Kasota twice a week.
Among the new buildings that are
now in process of erection the most
noteworthy is that which Mr. Wheel
er himself is erecting. 1t is a spa
cious brick residence, with basement
and attic. This is well built and has
all possible conyeniences, hot air heat
ing, cyclone cellar, etc. The cost OF
the building cannot be less than ST.
600. Mr.. Bennett also owns one OF
the finest houses in the village. Prop
erty is rising in value rapidly. Land
that was bought a few years ago fol
$40 an acre, is now worth $500 TO s4O(
a lot.

Ex-senator Quay who has let it be under.
stood that he was opposed to the Force bill,
has come out in his true colors by intro
ducing bill, which by comparison makes
the Lodge Hoar bill appear almost just, lin
spite of its many iniquities, and which
would, if enacted into law, give Mr.. Harri-
son power as great as that welded by the
Czar of Russia, in that unfortunate country.
Here's an extract from the most outrageous
bill introduced in the American Congress,
and for having introduced it Senator Quay
deserves expulson: when it shall appear
to the satisfaction of the President of the
United States that in any locality the provis-
ions of this law cannot otherwise be executed
it shall be his duty and he is hereby en-
powered to suspend there the writ of habeas
corpus and to employ the armed forces of the
United States for its enforcement" How is
that for Force bill? 1t might be greatly
simpliied and still mean the same thing by
changing it to read: "Be it enacted that

W-A letter from MIR. Couch, member of
the State Board of Equalization from this
district, to Auditor Wilson, says there is
strong feeling of the board in favor of put
ting the valuation of Wood and Hancock
county lands away up, on account of the oil
and gas Developments being made. This is
all wrong. There are only five townships in
this county in which any amount of oil has
been found; and in these it is the exception
and not the rule to find paying oil wells on
the average run of farms. The oil when
brought to the surface, and all of the ma
chinery, pipes, tools, etc., are taxed ON the
personal duplicate. There IS no other way
to get at it. One mans farm may be pro-
ducing large quantities of oil this year, and
next year not produce barrel; the next farm
to it may be drilled all full of holes and
never produce barrel. Oil developments do
not increase the value of lands at all; on &C.
count of the oil produced there is an ap-
parent added value. but it is only temporary;
when the oil is pumped out it drops back to
even lower value than before, on account of
the broken and cut up state it is always left
in. The board of equalization should gain
correct knowledge of the situation before it
goes to putting any wild figures on oil lands.

W-It is more than probable that the Ger
man Empire is going into the patent medi
cine business. The Koch lymph is not GO
ing to be given away, nor is the process of its
manufacture to be known outside of the
empire. The Prussian treasury expects tc
make handsome revenue out of its sale. Il
is estimated that the annual profit will be al
least 1900, 600 marks. Of this amount DR.
Koch is to receive 100000, and his assis
stants, Professor Pfehl and DR.. Lebberts
will receive 250,000 marks each. The Ger
mans are noted for thriftness. This woult
go to prove the fact. Apropos of the lymph

"a Republican papers have often tried
hard to convince the farmers that manufac-
turers did not sell their machines in foreign
markets any cheaper than they did at home.
But here comes Mr.. Rusk, the Republican
secretary of agriculture, who is a good pro-
tectionist, and talks to Chicago paper this
way about the great reaper combine: "An
investigation will show that this same CON-
bination is now selling or offering to sell
machines in Russian Australian and
other wheat growing countries at lower
figure than they do in this country. This
won't do, and need not offer any argument
to prove the weight or truth of the assertion.
The first thing the farmer will do when he is
acquainted with these acts will be to make a
howl against trusts and protection that does
not protect. Whether justly or not he will
charge it to the Republican party. am as
certain as. can be of anything that this
reaper and mower trust will cost the Repub.
lican party hundreds of thousands of votes
at the next Presidential election, unless
it takes firm stand against it and trusts in
general"
This confirms what the Democrats have
said. The Democratic charge is thus official
ly confirmed.

Bancroft. the Hlstorlnn. Dead. i.

Hon. Geo. Bancroft, the historian, died at
his home in Washington on Saturday last.
Speaking of his death the Enquirer says "his
public life is part Of the history of the
Nation which so much of it was spent in
writing. Up to the breaking out of the civil
war he was an ardent Democrat, and never
lost his affection for that party, He was
Collector of the Port at Boston, Democratic
candidate for governor of Massachusetts,
Secretary of the Navy under Polk, the
founder of the Naval School at Annapolis
and Minister to Berlin under President
johnson. In the latter capacity he secured
the treaty whereby Germans naturalized in
this country are released from allegiance tc
their former government. But his browning
work was his "History of the United States, u
not yet completed, but monument of erudi
ton and intelligent labor, and famed in al
lands for its liberality, its fairness, its con-
scientious research and its careful criticism

''the leading citizen of the United States,
and was the only person who was by name
given life privilege of the floor of boil

BThe opening of permanent headquar-
trs of the Democratic National committee
at Washington, which has been determined
upon, is move in the right direction, as it
will enable the party workers throughout the
country to keep in constant touch with the

national politics. The decision of the CON-
mittee TO begin at once the preparatory edu-

paign was wise one, and one that will be
productive in votes. This activity on the
part of the National committee is highly
gratifying and augurs well for Democratic

tBAs Democrats it gives us pain to note
that Harrison's chances for denomination
are not improving. The st. Louis Globe
Democrat (Rep.) thus views the probabilities
as to the Republican nomination in 1892:
"The triumph which President Harrison's
Indiana State Central committee removes
such doubt as may have existed regarding his
feelings on the matter of denomination. At
all events his name will be presented to the
convention by the delegation of his own
state. From present indications the contest
will be walkover for Mr.. Blaine If he con-
sents to take the nomination. II he declines
to do this, however, there will be a sort OF
scrub race for the prize, in which half a
til the last ballot is taken" ii
