OLD ELMIRY Cor THERE. -
Frank Barksdale, OF the Pennsyl-

funny incident the other night in
q sleeping car enroute to Virginia.
One Of the passengers was fine
looking old man, who had lived in
Elmira, N. Y, oil his life, and was
taking his first trip on railroad.
The sleeper seemed to mystify him
a great deal. The old man began

fixed up. The Elmira tourist, Of
ter the bed was made, glanced anx.
lously around, and, finally, went
out on the rear platform. After
tho lapse Of about fifteon minutes,
the door flew open, and the pas
sengcrs were amazed to see the Ell

LiberIan EpaIeration.

Bishop Taylor. the noted mis-
sionary leader in Africa, made an
Interesting statement the other day
nj the Methodist ministers meet
ing in New York OF the actual con-
dition Of affairs in Liberia, which
has been exploited as the promised
land for American negroes. lie
said: 1T is good country, with
plenty Of natural advantages, and
some OF the negroes who have emil
grated there have done we'll. But
the proportion of these IL small.
Four-flfths OF the immigrants have
returned to the States, and many
who have gone out recently will
return az soon as the opportunity
offers itself. i don't know how the
contrary impression has been
spread, except, perhaps, that some
OF my writings descriptive of the
country have been misinterpreted. ,
The simple truth is that there ia
no country, however favored, where
people can be prosperous without
industry and thrift, and the same
expenditure Of energy and labor
that would be required to succeed
in Africa, would make any colorcd
man more independent and quite

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 81. 1892.
TWO RUNAWAYS.

A horse owned by Emory Pearson,
of Riverside Park, was hitched in
front of Akers&Rooney discretionary
forenoon when it was frightened by
the approach of wagon with hog
rack. 1t broke the hitching strap and
ran over the sidewalk and down to the
street again in frolt of Shaw. Charl-
ton & Co.. S. taking dry goods box off
Of the sidewalk. One Of the buggy
thrills got between the horses fore
legs and he was stopped at Hickory
street. The buggy was somewhat de-
Imoralized. When the horse took to
the sidewalk. it caused great scatter
ing of pedestrians.
A team owned Michels & Weltgen
ran away Sunday evening The streets
were dark and the driver ran into a
hitching post unknowingly. He whip.
ped the horses to make them go and
they gave jump, breaking away
from the buggy and pulling the driver
over the dashboard. They ran into a
buggy, shaking up the occupants but
not injuring them.

FELL INTO THE SEWER.

Judge Torrey, County Attorney
Hughes, Frank Ady and Mr.. Gibson,
of St. Louis, Democratic speaker
had an unpleasant experience on re-
turning home from Medic at i O'Clock
Tuesday night. After turning the
corner at the Episcopal church they
drove into the open sewer excavation
in front of DR.. A. L. Dornberg's resi-
dence. The lantern had become ex-
tinguished and without warning the
two horses, belonging to Michael &
Weltgen, disappeared into the eight
foot cut, and one wheel of the carriage
also went down. There was just room
for the horses to stand up one in front
of the other. 1t took some hard work
to get them out, but they were finally
released unhurt.
There have been other complaints
of lack of proper lighting at the
sewer excavations, one lantern at
each end, even if burning, is not suffi-
Gent protection. The lanterns should
throw red light, to be more easily
distinguished. The meeting at Medic
was good one. 1t appears that the
Populists had secured the hall for the
same night, but it was agreed that
Mr.. Gibson should speak first and F.
M. Currier second and A. M. Morrison
third. The town hall was filled.

TOOK THE WRONG MEDICINE.

Mrs. Geo. johnson, a sister of 0.
Cassidy, had narrow escape from
death Sunday night. DR.. Warner had
prescribed the use of salts, to be re-
peated if necessary. The bottle of
salts had been on hand for some time
and had lost its efficacy owing to the
exposure to the air. When the dose
was to be repeated, by mistake the
wrong bottle was secured in the dark
ness and a dose of sugar of lead was
given instead The doctor was hasti-
ly summoned and applied a stomach
pump. Mrs. Johnson lies in a pre-
carious condition, but it is believed
that she will recover. Sugar of lead
is deadly poison, but the prompt &C
tion taken will probably counterfeit
its effect.

THE LAMP EXPLODED.

The explosion of lamp at about s
o'clock Tuesday evening set fire to the
handsome residence of the Hostedahl
brothers, on Record street. The house
is owned by four brothers, of whom
Jens, Olof and Ole are at home. Jens
was in sort of garnet filling a kero-
sene lamp while it was lighted. In
some way some papers lying near by
caught fire and the flames communi-
Gated to the oil, causing the lamp to
explode. Olof ran to the assistance
of his brother and both were badly
burned about the hands. NeighborS
assisted in checking the spread of the
flames until the hose cart in the Pleas
ant Grove school yard could be got
ten to the house. A little later the
alarm was sounded and the fire de-
partment responded. The fire was
soon extinguished. The greatest dam
age resulted froma water and the loss
is placed at $4O0. The house was in
sured for $1,000, so that the damage
will be fully covered.

A SAD ACCIDENT

A very sad accident occurred Sun.
day to J. w. Veness, foreman of the
Mankato Manufacturing Co. He was
returning from Lake Crystal on the
1926 p. m. passenger train and jumped
from the train near the tub factory,
as his residence is ON Center street.
He had basket of tools with him and
in some way he slipped and his right
foot got under the wheels of the train
and was nearly severed at the ankle.
He struck his head and was
rendered insensible for an hour.
He was carried to his home and Drs.
Davis, Jacoby and Andrews::were sum-
moned. They deemed it necessary to
amputate the foot, which was done
last night halfway between the ankle
and knee. The unfortunate man is
doing as well as could be expected.
Mr.. Veness moved to this city from
Wasesa last May to assume his pres
ent position. He is young man, full
of energy and great worker. He
was at work all Saturday night upon
the boiler of Hubbard & Palmer's
cleaning house at Lake Crystal, in or
der that it might be readyt to start up
this morning. He was tired and fell
asleep on the train while coming to
Mankato. He is an excellent young
man and the terrible accident which
happened to him is greatly to be de-
plored. He has the sympathy of all.
He has family consisting Of wife
and one child His fellow member
of the K of p. will assist him in every
way possible.

ARE CLERGYGMEN LAZY.

Clergymen are so often accused of
leading lazy life that they ought to
feel grateful to Dr. Samuel Johnson
for his dsfense of them. When a
friend suggested that the clergy had
an easy time of it Dr. Johnson replied;
"Sir, do not envy the life of a clergy
man as an easy one, nor do 1 envy
the clergyman who makes it easy"
1t is true that the ministers and
everyone else had anything but an
easy time of it in those days when
they had no means of transportation
better than post chaise. What
would DR.. Johnson say If he took a
trip over the Minneapolis & St. Louis
Ry., albert Lea Route" with their
modern conveniances, elaborate
equipmentand excellent train service?
For further particulars address G. M.
Pratt, G. t. & P. A., Minneapolis,
or any of the roads agents.

CONFLICTING STATEMENTS.

DR.. J. A. Hielcher, who brought
charges against DR.. Warner at Mon
day evenings council NEE ting, states
that he will collect all the evidence
he can in support of the charges, and
that if he can get enough outside evil
dence he will present the charges in
writing and ask to have committee
investigate them. He says that the
Nicollet House was placarded on a
side door in an alley and that only
one room was Quarantined, that
where the sick child was. He says
that he has seen public funerals of
those who died of contagious diseases.
In regard to his charge that DR.. War
ner has used his office to gain his own
private ends he says the doctor has
established rigid quarantine on his
(Dr. Hielcher's) cases and been very
light with his own cases.
DR.. Warner laughs at the charges
and says that he will attend the next
council meeting to see what is done.
He denies all Of the charges, or modi-
fies their effect of explaining circum-
stances which would have tendency
to excuse his leniency. He says he
has sent police officers to request
that there be no public funerals. The
Moore and Bowen houses were not
placarded as he did not hear of the
cases until the patients died, and no
further cases developed. In regard
to the Nicollet House, he says that
there was trouble there which he
could not foresee, although he gave the
proprietor proper instructions as to
removing the child or be quaran-
tined. He says that had he not re-
Quired every case to be reported he
would be liable to a fine of 500 and
for this reason he decided to prose-
cute DR.. Hielcher. He feels that he
has been lenient.

CANADIAN APPLES.

The ReUie,g attempts to show that
the American consumer and not the
Canadian producer pays the tariff on
Canadian apples, but does not COM
pare the figures on Canadian and
New York apples, knowing that its
side of the agument is too weak to be
maintained in that case.
Here are the facts in the case. New
York apples are SO a barrel in Chica-
60 and by deducting the 80 cents
freight the wholesale price in New
York, S2.6S, is found. Canadian
apples are 1910 in Chicago, and
when the freight of 40 cents and the
duty of SO cents Ito take the Reviews
own figures. though they are too high
are deducted, the jobber's price at To-
ronto is had, $2.O2. Why is it that
the Canadian cannot get as much
wholesale for his apples as the New
York shipper9 1t will be perceived
that he gets just about the duty less,
which shows to any one not blinded
by his own partisanship that the Ca
madam producer and not the Ameri-
can consumer pays the duty. If, as
the Rerieac says, the Canadian apples
are Of superior quality to New York
apples, so much worse for the compar-
ison, as the Canadian producer should
on that plea get more for better stock.
The Revieoo also contains commu-
nicatiCn from CT" alias "Across the
Bridge" who makes a labored argu.
ment in his endeavor to show that the
tariff of Is cents per bushel has moth
ing to do with sustaining the present
price of potatoes. He starts out with
a misstatement, as the FREE PRESS
never claimed that the duty on pota-
toes makes the present price. The
uneven distribution of potatoes in the
United States this year makes it pos
sible for Minnesota farmers to get the
present price so long as Canadian DO,
tatoes are kept from flooding the
markets and bringing the price down.
The United States contains enough
potatoes of her own raising to sup
ply her population at a reasona-
BILE price without asking our
neighbors for something to eat.
When potatoes are more plentiful and
prices are cheaper the farmer needs
the protection just as much, for with
out the tariff the crop would sell for
almost nothing if Canada was allowed
to ship in her own overproduction.
When it comes down to the doors of
home the mask is drawn from the free
traders and their hostility to the in
terests Of the farmers and all of our
producing classes, the toiling masses,
is seen in all its nakedness.

THE STREET RAILWAY.

In the proceedings of Mondays
council meeting the amendment re-
| garding an electric line is referred to.
The petition of the company is some.
what lengthy and sets forth that as
the charter allows the council to grant
franchise for no longer than twenty
years that body exceeded it's authority
when it granted a thirty years fran
chise. The following also appears in
the petition:
THE said railway company being
apprehensive that this excessive right
so granted may interfere with nego-
tiations now pending in reference to
proposed change of t motive power
of said company, do respectfully petit
tion your honorable board to pass an
ordinance Immediately.
The said railway company further
states that the party who was negoti-
ating for the transfer of this railway
and all it's interests, at the time the
said ordinance No. SS was
applied for and passed has failed to
carry out his propositions made to
this company, and this company has
found it advisable to solicit itself,
bids from electric road builders, for
changing the line to electricity, but
up to this time has heard from only
one party. AS you doubtless know,
wonderful progress is being made in
the Electric World, and we look with
interest to each issue of the Electric
and Railway magazines, to see what
has been newly discovered, and what
should be considered by us before act
ing, lest we should make some mis-
take. Besides this, outside parties
have caused our officers to be inter-
viewed, and data and information re-
Quested as to the present railway line
and the future of the town as seen by
us, and intimati0nS were made that
parties at ST. Louis and at Boston,
were considering the advisability of
getting the control of our road
Mr.. Noe states that things look
more encouraging for the starting of
an electric road, but that there is
nothing to be made public as yet. He
says that if the present cars were
patronized AS they should be by our
business men and citizens the change
would have occurred before this as it
would then have been shown that the
line is profitable.
1t has 5 gested that way in
which bu len might assist the
road would be by purchasing tickets
and giving their customers free rides
home when they live some distance,
especially lady Customers. 1t seems
as though this would be a good plan,
and at the same time it would hasten
the coming of an electric line.
