New Ulm Reuie,c: A project is
on fooot in Mankato towards build
ing a road from Mankato through
New Ulm to Wilmar. The purpose
of this road is evidently to secure an
outlet to Duluth without striking

delegation from Mankato will soon
visit New Ulm to discuss the matter,
-Amboy Herald: t. Randall, one

business men, will erect fine two
story brick store building this spring.
Mr.. Randall has had the plan drawn
by Mankato architect, and we must
say that it is fine. The building is
to be two stories high, with a fine
plate glass front. He will move the
old building back and erect the new
one it its place.

committing an outrage upon the per-

school teacher at st. James, was

MIR. w. G. Stegner, of the firm Of
w. G. Stegner & Co., who purchased
the stock of D. w. Selleck & Sons gro
Gerry business, is a gentleman of more
than ten years experience in the bust
ness, and therefore comes here fully
equipped with the knowledge of the
needs oflthe people in his line. He
deserves share of the public patron
age, which we have no doubt he will
receive.
1t was Oscar Hermann who ar
rived from Mazomanie to look after
the putting up of the machinery for
the new knitting mill. He appears,
from explanations made to a FREE
PRESS man, to be an expert in his line.
Mr.. Hermann intends to bring his
family here after things have started
up. He says that the people of Ma
zomanie are sadly disappointed in
having the factory removed from
their midst.
Learning that Tourtellotte hos
pital being in need of certain articles
to carry out the ideas of the trustees
to make the patients, who are now
there and who may have occasion to
enter within its portals for treatment,
more comfortable, the Andrews Opera
Company has volunteered to give two
entainments at the opera house for
the benefit of the hospital. The dates
selected are March 2Sth and 29th.
This is most magnanimous and liber-
al offer on the part of the company
only goes to show the generosity of
the Andrews, which is known to a
host of people. One of the company,
who does not wish his name mention
ed, says Nobody better than myself
appreciates hospital in times of ac-
cident: and realizing that fact we
have decided to devote two nights to
the hospital cause" 1t needs no
words of the FREE PRESS to explain
the excellence of the company, for it
is well known here.
