A young sculptor who had just
finished the statue of warrior ready
for the fray, called in his teacher, a
venerable master Of the arts, to crit
iclse his work. The old teacher was
struck with amazement and stood for
a long time admiring the statue.
He looked at the earnest facial ex-
preston, at the noble proportions of
the form, the saber drawn from the
scabbard and one foot slightly raised
from the ground, and as he stood
there and with the rapture of an art
ist was scanning the figure, the pu-
pill was waiting for word of
comment, when after long
pause, the artist. forgetting that he
faced the inaminate marble, burst
out, Now march,"
So God looks upon us to-day. Fav-
ored as we are with earthly blessings,
stimulated by the progress of the
past, with the Divine ideal before us,
the spirit of God willing to lead us
and methinks hear him this morn
ing addressing US in earnest words:
what more can l do for you my
children, my soldiers? Now march
forward and onward and upward.
Speed away and triumph in the power
of God"

APPOINTMENTS.

Professor o. o. Cox, of our Normal
School, and A. J. Woodman, of Indi-
ana, have been recently appointed
active members of the Fish Commits
sion. These two gentlemen will pro-
coed to the vicinity of Big Stone Lake
as soon as the weather becomes warm.
Inc object of the trip will be to ex-
plore the region about the source of
the Minnesota River, and to make
collections of all fish which inhabit
those waters. The government thinks
or stocking the river and immediate
lakes with fish. To do this, it be-
comes necessary to know what fish
will do best there. All friends Join
in wishing them, not onlya pleasant
but profitable journey, and hope it is
the beginning of successful attempt
to supply our neighboring waters with
fish.

THE MANKATO & NORTHEASTERN.
The Ordinance Locating Its Tracks
Satisfactorily Amended.

The ordinance locating the track of
the proposed Mankato & Northeast
ern Railroad through the city, came
up at the council meeting last night,
and after a long discussion several
amendments were presented by
the company's attorney, which re-
move some of the objections to the
ordinance. The most important is
an amendment reducing the width of
the right-of-way from north of the
pumping station to south Of the
bridge, to thirty feet.
This allows ample room to both this
road and the Omaha to cross Main ST.
east of the first bridge pier.
There is one amendment which was
discussed and seemed to be satisfac-
tory to the Co., which should be in
sisted upon by the council, and that is
one requiring the Mankato & North
eastern track to hug the Omaha and
z. & n. W. tracks from some point
north of the pumping station to some
point in Cummings addition. The
road has desired to bear away from
the Omaha track some fifty feet, in
order to construct a depot between
the two tracks at some point north of
Walnut street and south eff Plum.
This would be entirely reasonable and
satisfactory were there plenty of room
between the Omaha tracks and the
river, but unfortunately the distance
is short. There is room elsewhere for
depot purposes, particularly south of
the bridge. The levee is valuable
property and the city should part
with it sparingly, saving it for any
roads that may in the future ask for
a right-of- way through the city.
With these amendments, there can
be no further objection to the ordi-
nance, which the council should pass
and bid God speed to the road. The
officers of the Mankato & Northeast
ern showed more conciliatory spirit
last night than at any time before,
and raised no objection to the Omaha
ordinance. There is no reason why
both roads should not be satisfied and
the city have little land left to grant
to new roads in the future. We trust
that the ordinance will be thus salts
factorily amended tonight and finally
passed.
The FREE PRESS has no other in
terest at stake than has every citizen,
and only desires to see fair play to all
and the city's interests protected. 1t
believes that the council will secure
all this.

Two years ago Palmer & Grannis
began to break some cheap wild land
in Kossuth county, Iowa, near the
northern border. Last year they
broke more of it and this spring they
are about to break another very large
tract. They have found that farming
pays and propose to go into it on a
large scale. Gang plows will turn
over the sod. They will SOW the new
land to flax, but will put the other to
wheat, oats and barley. Mr.. Grannis
has been down into that section and
says that a large amount of fax is to
be sown, but reports that in Min
nesota the wheat area will be greatly
enlarged, partly at the expense offiax.

PROFESSOR ARNOLD'S TIME Elk.
TENDED

To May 18th, positively no longer.
Notwithstanding the dogmatic as
sertions of a::class who having neither
the education, brains, or capacity to
appreciate scientific profession, cry
''humbug," regardless of substan-
tiated facts. Professor Arnold still
remains at the Mankato house and is
meeting with unparalleled success.
He is giving the greatest satisfaction
and delight to hundreds with de-
fected sight. The people who wear
glasses:are beginning to realize the
fact that Prof. Arnold is correcting
the most difficult and complicated
cases of defective eyesight with un-
erring accuracy; that he is giving the
people of Mankato the same skilled
service for defective eyes and fully
equal to. what they could command
were they in New York, Paris or Lon
don. This is not an absurd or ex-
aggerated statement, but the simple
truth, truth that will be endorsed
by every one of Prof. Arnold's pat
rons. in Mankato or vicinity. Look
over the list of references
of well known people in
this town and county many of whom
have never before been able to obtain
help and who now see perfectly. Facts
are stubborn things and knowledge
comes by research. Ask your friends
who have patronized the Professor
how they are pleased. One and all,
they cannot say too much in praise of
him and his skill, and especially the
superiority of his uneqalled glasses.

The merchants appear to be men
who understand their business, for
during our stay we witnessed scenes
and incidents that gave US the above
conclusion. They all have a good
stock on hand and the prices are rea-
sonable
Postmaster Latourell was behind
the pigeon holes when we entered his
large store, in which he keeps every
thing imaginable. He is hale-fel-
low-well-met and is considered one of
the energetic business men of the vii
lage. He has made an addition to
his store for the purpose of carrying a
stock of gents furnishing goods.
Stedman & Co. have been carrying on
the drug business for a number of
years and have worked up an excellent
trade. Courteous and kind they
should not fail to receive their share
of the public patronage.

this hamlet are ]. w. Vance, w. f.

The prominent merchants report an
increase of business from 25 to 100 per
cent over that of any previous year.
Mr.. d. j. Townsend, dealer in lum-

lumber during last year.
A new hardware store has been
opened recently and it is said to sbe
doing good business.
There are two hotels in town and
both are doing well.
We were informed, while taking in
the sights. that firm from Wells
talk of starting bank at the Lake
providing they can secure ground at
reasonable figure.
