A GREAT CHANGE.

Just forty years ago the oath of last
month W. w. Paddock, P. K. John
son, Dan. Williams and John Jones
built the first shanty where Mankato
now stands. And just forty years
later to day, on Wednesday evening
Of last week, two of the pioneers met
at the party at The Saulpaugh. What
must have been their feelings as they
contrasted the scene then presented
them with that of their first evening
here nearly half century ago. As
we look out upon our busy little city,
with its fine blocks, its churches,
schools, residences, railways, tele-
graph lines and electric lights, it is
hard to imagine that our civilization,
as represented here is only 40 years
removed from vast wilderness that
was the hunting ground of savages.
At that time ST. Paul was village of
only l, 400 inhabitants. AS the axes
Of these rugged pioneers sank into
the trees, the echo startled some In
dams in their camp up the river, and
an old buck and squaw came running
down to see what the trouble was
and why their domains were thus in
vaded. But as had been the case
farther east, the energetic frontiers
man has stuck his stake, and the dus-
ky son of the forest was obliged to re-
treat still farther toward the setting
sun. The shanty in question was
erected about opposite the FREE
PRESS office.
Looking out upon our city as it
stands to-day, We survey what has
been accomplished in forty years with
out struggle, the question suggests
itself: What can be accomplished
during the next ten years if we but
bend our energies in one direction. If
the proper efforts are but put forth,
if the one thought, aim and object is
in building up a great, prosperous
manufacturing city, the first half GEN.
fury of our existence will find Man
kato prosperous city Of from 10000
to $4,000 inhabitants. Now is the
time to complete the foundation for
our future greatness.

out anything definite being done. al

WORDS TO THE WISE.

A wise and thoughtful writer says:
Next to a mans family and business
nothing should stand nearer to his
heart than the town in which he
lives" 1t is his home. 1t is the place
where he wins his competence and
educates his children. He should be
interested in making it populous,
thrifty and respected. There should
be no town like our own town, the
town where we live, the town whose
streets our children tread, the town
where we shall some day sleep.
An opportunity has presented itself
whereby every citizen who esteems
the city in which he lives and wants
to see progress in the line of manu-
featuring, can assist in such manner
as not to be burdensome to him. The
Mankato Improvement Company has
been born for purpose. The ques-
tion is will the public spirited citi-
zens come forward and help in the
matter of subscribing for the shares
of the capital stock Of the new compa-
ny. The committee is still at work
and hopes to see the names OF great
many more persons on the list before
this week draws to close.

MORE ARRESTS.

There has been mystery about the
killing of Chris Thorstad in granary
at Butternut Valley on the night of
Feb. II, that has not as yet been solv-
ed, although a coroner's inquest has
been held and several witnesses ex-
amined: and which was followed by
the arrest OF Theodore Anderson.
After long and tedious examination
nothing was brought out that would
hold him or anybody else for the
crime. Soon after he was discharged,
J. P. Meyer, who owns the granary,
and Carl Wilson were arrested and
placed under 81, 900 bail for their ap-
pearance. The officers of the law
seem determined to unravel the mys-
terry which has surrounded the case.
They feel that some of those present
must have witnessed the killing Of
Thorstad. All of the witnesses who
testified at the Anderson examina-
tion plainly showed while on the
stand that they knew more than they
cared to tell in the matter. 1t is be-
lieved that there are some new devel-
opments, for Wednesdaynoon the Sher-
if and his deputy, Mr.. Bowen, step
ped off the Omaha train which arriv-
ed at 3:37 o'clock, with the following
prisoners:
J. P. Meyer, Theodore Anderson,
T. Rowland, Carl Wilson and Andrew
Gilbert.
When Wilson and Meyer appeared
Wednesday afternoon at Lake Crystal
for examination, the complaint was
dismissed. They were Immediately re-
arrested The examination of the
prisoners will be held in the munich
pal court of this city.
