BEATS THE sUBTREAsURY SCHEME

During the period when corn was
selling at - and "A cents a bushel
throughout this section, Me5srs. G. Old
father and J. J. Jones of this county
purchased and stored 1000 bushels.
Yesterday Mr.. Oldfather sold at his
cribs for cash 1000 bushels for So cents,
Mr.. Jones refused 80 cents for his hold
ing and Mr.. Oldfather declined to let
any more of his go at that price.
Moses Jay, another wide awake Sedg-
wick county farmer, who owns section
36 in Union township, stored the bulk of
his last years wheat crop in the straw.
He this week had couple of car loads
threshed out, loaded on the cars at Maize
and shipped to market to catch the spear
in the price. The balance of his crop he
will prepare for and put on the market
later.
Such operations as these beat
the much Wanted subtreasury
idea, for the simple reason that
the expenses incident to that plan are
saved to the farmer and go to swell his
profits, and he can sell at any moment
for immediate delivery, not being ham,
pered by delays that would be unavoida-
bly, occasioned in securing releases and
complying with other red tape require
ments if the deposits were made in gov
eminent warehouses.
1t is safe to say that neither of the gen.
tlemen named, nor any others similarly
there are numbers of such
in this section of the valley country-are
advocates of, or would be bothered with
any subtreasury or other scheme to OBJ
tain patronage from the government.

LETTER FROM PROF. BECHDOLT
On the Life and Character of the Late
Lucina Fletcher.
REV. 1. L. Cory,

REV. l. L. Cory,
DEAR SIR:-I am asked to write a
fewslines in regard to the school life
and character of our departed pupil
and friend. This is not an easy task.
If my feelings were less deeply moved
and If it were possible to look upon
the past as mere history, words would
come more readily. AS it is, my heart
pours out all emotions in sympathy
with those who look for the last time
upon sister and daughter. Feelings
may be too deep for words, and the
intellectual numbness because of the
loss which cannot be replaced keeps
thoughts back from expression. And
yet on behalf of her fellow pupils. of
her classmates and of the teachers, [
feel constrained to offer my humble
tribute to beautiful and lovely char
acter. The last time I met her as a
pupil she rehearsed to me her gradual
ing thesis. AS she stood with folded
hands and faultlessly told the story of
"Historic Girls so will she live in my
memory There is very much in COM
mon between the characters she chose
for her graduating address and her.
self
The heroines of the ninnteenth CEN
tury are not found in castles or courts
but in our every day homes, and to
her classmates, fellow pupils and
teachers, Lu Fletcher will remain en-
shrined in memory as one of life's
heroines.
OF strong and clear intellect, I'M
firing industry and unconquerable
will, possessed of an ambition that
would carry her to the front in any
undertaking-she joined to all these a
sunny dispositian, a readiness tosmile
and make others smile, cheeriness
that made her loved leader among
her mates.
She understood most thoroughly
how to "suffer and be strong" In a
: thousand ways she showed forth this
feature of her character. That she
could not subdue physical weakness to
her intellectual cravings altogether
seemed sore cross to her.
The last we remember of her is a
smile upon her lips in answer to sug-
gestion made in class. Thus will she
live in the memory of her associates
a strong and lovable girl, who con-
trolled others not only through the in
tellect but also through love-a girl Of
whose like the noble girls of history
are made
Thanking you for the opportunity
to express so feebly the loving esteem

COUNCIL MEETING.

The proposed new cow ordinance
took up more time than anything else
Monday night. 1t was first brought up
by petition opposing it.
This brougt out Mr.. Pau in Wig
orous speech in which he said that the
council could not pass any ordinance
prohibiting people from pasturing
cattle on their own land or allowing
their neighbors to do so. An ordi-
nance could only forbid the pasturing
of cattle on the streets. Besides, the
( people in the fifth and sixth wards
should be allowed to pasture their
cattle on vacant land so long as there
was no objection from the owner. Aid.
Schlingerman stated that in those
wards there was great trouble with
the cattle and herd boys breaking the
fences, and owners can't help them
selves. He had six bushels of apples
stolen and when he brought the boys
into court the judge gave them talk
ing to and let them go. 1t is the
way with breaking the herd laws. If
we bring the boys into court we get
no satisfaction; if we punish them
ourselves we get fined. Mr.. Pau sug-
gested that the boys should be herded,
too. Mr.. Young said there was mis-
understanding in regard to the pro-
posed ordinance. We could not pro-
hibit any one from pasturing on his
lots or allowing his neighbors to, but
at present they herd cattle all over
West Mankato, ard cattle owners
should not be allowed to herd their
stock in front of their neighbours
houses. Aid. Peterson: 'There is lots
of vacant land in the first ward that
might just as we'll be pastured as not;
it would keep down the weeds. True,
the cattle sometimes break through
the fences and injure the gardens, but
in general cattle herding there is a
benefit. We've had no such ordinance
for 25 or 30 years and we surely don't
need it now. In many cases that
word COW means half living to man
and if the proposed ordinance passed,
those having pasture would monopo-
lie it and charge poor men high
rent for it," Mr.. Young explained
that this ordinance was only an ex-
tension of the old and would only give
the First and Sixth wards the same
regulations as the others. We can't
very well build fence that will keep

same protection. 1t was moved that
the old ordinance remain in force
there. Carried. Upon second read
ing the ordinance passed unanimous
ly.
The bonds for the grading of Second
and Sixth streets were approved.
All the liquor bonds also were ap-
proved.
Aid. Saulpaugh, for the fire COM
mittee, reported in favor of buying
500 feet of Eureka hose at soc yer foot.
The committee was authorized to go
ahead and buy.
The minutes of the last meeting of
the Board of Health were read, and
Aid. Brett moved to confirm the &C
tion of that board in creating the Of
flee of public scayenger. Carried. The
proposition to erect city pest house
was referred to the committee on city
property. The Health Board request
ed the Council to take action on the
matter of a city burying ground, be-
cause the owner of the one now used
refused to allow it's use ony longer or
to give deed of the same for less
than 5000. 1t was explained that at
the time the city. bought ~ this
around and paid 5000 on it, it was
mortgaged and the city could not get
deed. Now the mortgage is paid
and the owner refuses to sign over.
This brought out some very pointed
remarks aboutsomebody' carelessness
The street committee reported favorably
on petitions for streets as follows: 1st to
extend Dane ST. south to point opposite
Fair street, thence west to point opposite
Dickinson street. thence south to connect
with said Dickinson street. I'd, to extend
Dane street to Marsh street, in East Man
kato.
Mr.. Marsh explained that these streets
would cross piece of his land SO as to cut
it into four sections. He would give land
for the first street provided the city would
free him from all other expense like as
sessments, fixing fences, etc, The second
street he did not favor, and did not think
it was needed,
In reply to aquestion from Mr.. Hay
mes, Mr.. Young stated that the street
committee was not an official body.
1t was only Hook over the proposed
street routes TO save the whole coun-
Gil the trouble. Both petitions were
referred to the Board of Public Works.
Aid. Peterson said that the city hos
pital needed paint, kalsomining and
,ther repairs, and the committee on
hospital was authorized to have the
work done.
Aid. Schlingerman brought up the
matter of stagnant, unhealthy pool
kept by the Omaha railroad near the
crossing of Third and Vine streets.
Referred to committee on streets, al
leys, and grades.
The council adjourned at IL o'clock.

WHERE WILL 1T Coz

The three commissioners who are
charged with the duty of locating the
government building are still in the
city, but the query still is ''where
will it go?" The commissioners have
proved as secretive as Mr.. CluSs, and
no word or intimation has been drop
ped to give anyone any foundation for
saving that the building will go on
this corner or on that. All of the To-
cations have been carefully examined
and the advocates Of each patiently
listened to. While nothing has been
said, still there are some things which
point to the belief that only the Hail.
Irving and Holbrook corners have been
taken into serious consideration by
the commissioners, and it was for one
of these that the most Of the visitors
to the commission entered their pleas
The decision will be given to the
public only after it has been submit
ted to the Treasury Department at
Washington. When this will be done
can only be conjectured but it will
hardly be under week or two.
The commissioners visited our stone
Quarries, cement works and lime kilns
to-day, in order that Supervising Ar
chitect Edbrooke may have a correct
idea of the value of our home materi-
ais for use on the building. We have
stone, cement and lime, brick and al
most everything else needed in the
construction of fine building such as
our postotfice will be, and they cannot
be surpassed anywhere, as is shown by
the many public buildings where they
enter into the construction. We have
no doubt but that Mr.. Edbrooke will
take with him only the most favor
able opinion of our building resources,
and will recommend them for use in
the building.
Mr. Edbrooke stated to FREE Press
reporter this afternoon that he and Con-
gressmen Thomas and Perkins, of the COM
mission, have personally examined all of
the sites and heard delegations from EACH
They will mail their report to Washington
and it will probably be made public in a
week or ten days. In making the decision
the population, needs of the city, its future
necessities, condition of the ground, and
everything possible will be taken into con-
sideration. Mr.. Edbrooke leaves to-mor-
row for Savannah, Ga. and the other COM
missioners for their homes. In making
this selection, we have no doubt but that
it will prove satisfactory to our citizens,
and that all will appreciate the points
viii oh will determine the commissioners
in their choice. Mr.. Edbrooke was
pleased with our stone and cement, and
said that he thought the further the quar-
ries go the better the stone will be-
come.
The three members are very pleasant
gentlemen and their visit has been enjoy
able SO far as our citizens are concerned,
and we hope that they will carry with them
pleasant reeollections.

THERE is a fake going the rounds
that DR.. Cronin's ghost has appeared
in Chicago. There is no doubt but
that there are a few persons inChicago
who are compelled to witness some
apparition all the time, owing to their
connection with that nefarious crime.
The better opinion is that Cronin's
chief murderers have nevor been dis
covered yet.

Victoria's Coronation.

One would scarcely think that fifty
three years have elapsed since. the
Princess Victoria shyly said, when she
was told that she was Queen of Eng
land, Il will be good;" and yet, Eng
lands ruler is well into the third
quarter century of her wise and pro-
gressive reign. She was crowned on
June Goth, 1888: and when Death takes
her scepter from her aged hand, and
the crown is laid aside, the English
people will honestly and sincerely re-
greet the close of the Victoria era. A
similar era Of prosperity and advance
ment has developed the Northwest,
and one of its factors has been the
st. Paul & Duluth Railroad-the Du-
luth Short Line. This is the old
standby, the peoples popular route,
the line to take whenever you wish to
travel between the Twin Cities and
the head of the lakes and enjoy the
advantages of fine equipment, quick
trains, convenient schedules, close

first to last. Circulars cheerfully fur
