SUICIDE.

The life OF Mrs. P. S. Lobdell was
brought to a sudden close at an early
hour Sunday morning. Her last
moments were without doubt painful
beyond description, for she had taken
dose of strychnine for the purpose
of committing suicide. Coroner Shoe
maker, County Attorney Hughes and
FREE PRESS reporter visited the
home o. the deceased on Sunday
morning and from what was CLEANED
from those present the coroner de-
cided it was not necessary to hold an
inquest.
1t is believed that Mrs. Lobdell
purchased the poison on Jan. 2S., but
could not scrape up courage to end
her life until Sunday. a few days
ago she said to those about her that
it seemed too bad she could not die as
Others had-with the grip. On Sat-
urday she appeared to be very discon-
solate and cried again and again.
After the little ones had been put to
bed, she fastened the door of her room
and did what proved to be, deadly
work She cried for help and her
husband sent for DR.. Davis, who,
when he arrived, at once declared it
case of poisoning. Within a few
minutes she breathed her last.
The deceased was born in the state
of Indiana in June, 1856. She was a
daughter of Mr.. Pressnell, of Eagle
Lake. Married about Is years ago, she
had reared a family of five children.
Those who have been associated with
her believe that her mind has been
somewhat deranged for years. She
attempted to end her life some ten
years ago by jumping into the Mime
sofa river. About two months ago
she purchased dose of laudanum and
took it, but vomited it up again.

H. A. Young, a former resident of
AmbOy, but latterly a fourishing mil
Ter at Blair, Wis, on the Trempealeau
river was drowned last Tuesday in
the mill pond, at that place. 1t seems
that the heavy rain Sunday raised the
river and broke the ice. The ice
ioated down the river and onto the
dam. 1t is stated he was on a plank
and endeavoring to save the dam
when the plank broke and let him fall
into the river. His brother, III. E.
Young, of Amboy, way wired Wednes-
day stating these facts, but Mr..
Young could not leave home on ac-
count of sickness. He again received
a telegram yesterday. which stated
that his brothers body had not yet
been found. Mr.. Young passed
through this place last night enroute
for his brothers home.

HELD FOR FORGERY.

The examination of VIM. King.
charged with committing forgery in
the second degree, was held Friday
morning in the municipal court.
Michael j. Ryan was the first wit
ness called. After being sworn, tetified
he had known the defendant about a
year and a half. That King came
into his store on January %, with an
order for So in cash and pair of over
shoes to cost $3.50. He honored the
order which was signed by one Yae-
don, who was one of the Wood-chop-
pers. In the evening when YaedOn
went into the store the witness told
him (Yaedon) about Kings getting
the S. in money and the oyershoes,
and Yaedon declared he never gave
any such order as King declared he
did.
L. G. Yaedon was sworn and testi-
fed that he never gave any order to
the defendant for money.
The order was shown the witness, by
county attorney Hughes, and he posi-
lively declared the order had not been
written or signed by him.
Henry t. Griggs, local editor of the
FREE PRESS, was duly sworn and
testified that he had an interview
with the defendant at the county
jail the day after his arrest, and that
King admitted to him then and there
that he King had written and sign
ed the order himself.
The defendant took the stand in
his own behalf and told of his going
into camp. He admitted to having
signed the order in question and re-
ceiying the money and overshoes. He
however, denied that the boys in camp
hired him, claiming that Ryan was
the one who engaged him.
After the testimony had all been
taken Judge Porter bound the de-
PENDANT over to the next term of the
district court, the amount Of bail to
be fixed by the Judge of that court.

AN ONWARD MOVEMENT.
Providing Every Citizen Puts His
Shoulder to the Wheel.

The time has come and now is, when
those who are interested in the flu
ture welfare and advancement of our
city, should be up and doing. No
where in the Southern part of the
State is there place possessed of SO
many advantages as right here in the
city Of Mankato. The waterwork sys-
tenn is one of the finest to be secured
and the water itself is second to none.
The present industries are doing well
and we are proud Of them. But as
was said in yesterdays issue of the
FREE PRESS, we want more of these
factories. There is field for them
that cannon be surpassed anywhere
is the Northwest.
We believe the time is ripe for a
movement along the line mentioned.
We boast of some of the best manu-
featuring institutions to be found
even in cities ten times as large as is
Mankato. If factories locate here,
men Of families need have no fear as
to the education of their children.
We are blessed with as fine institu-
tiOns Of learning as can be desired
We behold the State Normal school
with it's six to seven hundred stu
dents under the supervision of Prof.
Soaring, whose reputation as an edu-
Gator is known far and wide. Our
public schools are the pride Of the
people and under the superintendent
cy of Prof. Bechdolt, assisted by able
teachers, the children Of to-day are to
become the men and women
who will shine in the days that
are to come, if they use
their time and knowledge to an ad
vantage. The question now is will
the people unite their energy, their
knowledge and their money in an
effort to start at least some of the
manufacturing institutions mention
ed heretofore, during the year which
we have just entered upon.
Let the people be up and doing.
Stand by Mankato and as loyal cit
liens should do stand shoulder to
shoulder and march on like true and
noble citizens and the day will never
come when any forward step will be
regretted.

nj were added to the committee. Mr..

Mankato is the place to invest. The
thought seemed to strike number Of
the members present, for after some
discussion favorable to the scheme, a
motion was made by Isidor
Longini and seconded by Gen. Pope
that a special meeting of the Board
be held on Friday evening OF this
week, and that the young business
men Of the city be invited to meet
with the Board to further plan for
the benefit of all.
The motion was carried by a unani-
nous vote.

following named persons as recep-
tion committee: Messrs Longini,

ADJUSTMENTS.
"The Little Detective

Cordray's has filled much-needed want
this week for Observation-Disclosures. While
large number find recreation at lake or
Sound resorts during the day, a great
many are prevented by business duties
from participating in such relaxing pas
time. To such Cordray's is a positive
boon. A hearty two and a half hours of
laughter makes the business man forget
his cares, the anxious housewife the
troubles and burdens of tomorrow, and the
chronic croaker his everlasting wall of
disappointment and disaster. 1.-The Little
Detective is an exceedingly strong play,
we'll staged and admirably rendered. The
title role was one of Lottas favorite parts,
and while it must, in justice to Miss Jen-
ME Calef, be stated that her interpreta-
ton falls but little short, If anything, of
Lotta's. there is no undue praise given
Miss Jennie in making the comparison.
Moreover the piece is by no means a one
character drama. There is abundant ma
terial offered for the display of clever act
ing by every member OF the company, and
the heavy patronage extended the theater
throughout the week attests the excel
lence of the enaction generally.

BRICK FOR SEWER TUNNEL.
Animated Contest Between Local Firms
for q Contract.

for Contract.
committee of the board of aldermen
met last night to consider the qualities of
brick to be used in the construction of the
Lake Union sewer tunnel. There were
present Aldermen Daulton, earle and In
gram. Alderman Miller also being present,
although not member. Representatives
of local firms were present, but those who
took an active part were Robert Nieder-
gesaess, of the Seattle Brick and Tile Com
pany. and NJ. J. Carkeek, OF the Pontiac
Brick and Tile Company. There were also
samples from Puget Sound Brick, Tile and
Terra Gotta Company and Denny Clay
Company. The question was not as to
the best building brick, but as to the best
for the special purpose. The plan most
generally approved is to use an ordinary
but hard fire and non-porous brick for the
body of the tunnel and vitrifed brick
for the lining of the lower half of the tun-
mel, where the friction and the liability to
absorption will be greatest.
There will be 1, 10000 of the ordinary
and $50, 900 of the vitrified brick needed.
The Pontiac bid is $3.50 per thousand and
the Seattle is SO per thousand, both deliv-
cred at the tunnel. After discussion
lasting over an hour and n half, the com.
mittee decided to make further inquiries,
and adjourned until Monday evening.
