WILL NOT BE REMOVED.

The people of Mankato will be dis
appoin ted to read the letter publish
ed in this issue of the FREE PRES!
from General manager Winter, notify
ing Supt. Spencer that his compan.
has decided that it will be impossible
under present circumstances to make
the change of track to the levee this
year.
1t is not unlikely that the recent
very heavy losses from floods and un.
usually heavy rain falls Of the past
few weeks, have been the deciding
forces which have caused the com.
pany to forego the much wished fol
change. 1t is a fact borne out by evil
dence indisputable that the company
has suffered losses aggregating hun
dreds of thousands of dollars, and the
heavy costs which would necessarily
follow the removal of it's tracks in
the city is felt to be an expense that,
while anxiously hoped for by Manka-
to and of value to the road, cannot
with justice to the stockholders be
made at this time.
The FREE PRESS does not know, alb
solutely, whether or not the Omaha
officials were ever really in earnest in
this track removal matter. 1t be.
lieves they were. 1t believes so because
Mr.. Winter is not man who is given
to Misrepresentation. He could have
no hidden object in appearing before
the council and making the state
ment he did, and all the time carry
ing lie concealed beneath his breast
1t is only fair and Just that he be Civ
en- credit for entire honesty of pur-
pose in his statements. and be con-
tent with the 81 told you so" senti-
ment frequently expressed by some OF
the incredulous. What possibilities
or probabilities may open up for this
change is too remote and uncertain
for speculation at this time. 1t is
enough to know that the powers thai
be- have decreed that it shall not be
made now, and this is enough to
furnish great deal of disappointment
and no small amount of adverse criti
cism upon the action of the company
The Omaha will have to change its
course through the city sooner or la
ter for its own protection, and the
longer it delays action the more ex
pensive it will be when it is finally
forced into submission to its own in.

MAKE 1T LARGER.

From the plans of the public build.
ing so far as they are known, it ap-
pears as though there is not clear
understanding of the circumstances
in regard to our public building, in the
supervising architects Office. The
plans are drawn upon ascale which
would hardly exhaust The appropria-
tion were the building TO be erected
at some place having none of the ma
teriais at hand. Conservative esti-
mates place the cost of the building
here as now proposed st from S7O,oOo
to $4,000. This will leave large I'M
expended balance and will not give
the city such a building as Congress
intended or as the size of the city re-
quires. With the stone, brick, lime
and cement all on the ground at low
prices and with no freight charges, a
building can be erected in Mankato
at thirty per cent. less than in cities
not so favorably situated.
The court house is an elegant struc-
ture and covers more ground than the
proposed government building; yet
its actual cost of construction and
heating was but $4,000. 1t is not
right that Mankato should be given
so small building as is proposed,
thus holding the city back, when an
appropriation has been made which
will give us building one third larg-
er. The change in the plans should
be made before it is too late. If the
natural advantages of the city are
such that $4,000 building can be
erected for 100000, the city should
have that benefit.

a Prize Story.

One winter there was such an unusual
run of salmon in the Sacramento river
that in forcing their way up stream
they ran against and broke several
piles that supported a railroad bridge,
and it sagged in the center, making it
unsafe for a train to pass over it. 1t
was near train time, and the salmon,
noticing the damage they had home, got
together, piled one on top of the other,
raised the. bridge to its proper level and
held it up until the train passed over it
in safety. Sacramento (Cal.) Record

Love in Domestic Animals.

We rarely call out all the love there
is in our domestic animals; for the most
part none at all. 1t makes me many a
sore hour when drive about the coun-
try and see the lonely look of horses and
COWS. Dogs fare better, but COWS are
rarely petted and made much of as
friends. They have in them great ca
pacity for gentleness and affection.

A PLEASANT EVENT.

A very happy event occurred at
II [o'clock Wednesday forenoon at the
residence of Mr.. and Mrs. II. L.
Harper, on E. Jackson street, being
the marriage of Mrs. Harper's young
est daughter, Miss Mabel Goodell, and
Mr.. Clifford L. Benedict. The cere-
mony was impressively performed by
Rev. F. M. Rule, pastor of the M. E.
church, and was witnessed by gath
ering of some sixty relatives and per-
sonal friends of the contracting par
ties. Geo. Champlin and his sister,
Miss Nellie Champlin, of Garden City,
took the parts of best man and brides
maid. After the ceremony and the
congratulations and well wishes had
been spoken, the party sat down to a
very excellent dinner. The presents
were very fine, among which were the
following: Picture, Allen Benedict;
spring rocker, Messrs. Manfred and
Amos Benedict; spring rocker, Mr..
and Mrs. Henry Tidland; water set,
Misses Viola and Stephen Doty; fruit
and berry dishes, e. R. Kennedy;
glass fruit dish, Miss Hattie Fidland;
sewing machine, VIM. p. and Charles
Goodell; set crackle glassware, Cyrus
Tipler; silver bread plate, Mr.. and
Mrs. John Johnston; bevel plate mir
ror, l. E. Seaton; painting, Geo. and
Nellie Champlin; set of silver tea
spoons, l. Handley; linen tablecloth
and dozen napkins, Mrs. A. G. Door:
half-dozen towels, Mrs. James Hand
ley; silver fruit spoon, Mrs. Curren;
so, Miss A. Tipler; and many other
useful and costly presents.
Mr.. Benedict is too well and favora-
bly, known in this city and county to
require any words of introduction or
the recountal of his many excellent
qualities. He is one of the best yonng
men in the county, and by his own
personal efforts has raised himself
from the farm to respected position
in the bar of Blue Earth county. AS
an attorney he is well versed and care
full, as speaker he is impressive and
convincing, and as man he possesses
those qualities of integrity and enter
prise which make him honored and
esteemed by all. That the future has
many good things in store for him we
are sure. His numerous friends will
be pleased to know that he is now in
fact as well in name Benedict.
The bride whom be has won has
during her short residence in the city
made many friends, who have been
drawn about her by her excellence of
character and disposition. She is a
young lady of fine accomplishments,
with beauty of person as well as mind.
Mr.. Benedict is to be congratulated
upon securing so estimable wife.
Mr.. and Mrs. Benedict left on the
afternoon train for ST. Paul and Min
neapolis. where they will spend few
days. Upon their return they will
make their home at their recently pur-
chased property at 324 Center street,
and will be at home after July 18th.
The FREE PRESS joins their other
friends in wishing the young couple
every joy and prosperity.

A Small Piece of Justice.

In a small town not many miles from
Erie, Pa, there was case before the
justice of the peace that was settled very
Bummarily.
1t appears that a Mr. Jones had beaten
Mr.. Browns dog with club for chasing
his chickens. They met at the Office of
the justice, each accompanied by law
yer, and bound to see the thing through,
no matter what it cost. AS Jones and
Brown were prominent citizens of the
town large crowd assembled at the
trial, expecting to hear some great
oratory from the lawyers.
The justice was a very pompous and
ignorant old fellow, who was great on
big words, no matter whether appropri-
ate or not. The case was called, the
witnesses who had seen the clubbing
gave their testimony, and Jones lawyer
arose to open for his client, when the
justice said:
"Hold on, Mr.. Lawyer, there is no
use argifying or condisputing about this
matter, as there is no case of assessity
for it. Mr.. Jones was highly unwrong
in beating Mr.. Browns dog, SO fine
him ten dollars for cruelty to dumb an
imals, and that is all there is about it"

Benefits of Bicycle Riding.

Among the main reasons which BIZ
cycle riders give for their choice of loco
motion are the following:
Bicycling is popular, clean, health
full sport, and wheel is good company.
The wheel is time saving machine,
and in this busy age time is money.
Exercise on the wheel is better than
walking, because the weight of the body
is principally supported by the saddle.
Strength is econoraized and the exertion
of force distributed more generally
throughout the muscles of the legs,
arms and body, and equal results in
progress reached by far less exertion, or
proportionately greater results by the
same exertion. In other words, the
wheelman rides ten miles in an hour
with less fatigue than he would walk
four in the same time, because in walk
ing almost all the muscular exertion is
thrown on the legs.
Few people breathe properly. They
use only the upper portion of the lungs
and leave large residuum of impure air.
Bicycle riding causes thorough respira-
ton and tones up the general circula-
ton. 1t is particularly beneficial to
men and women of sedentary habits,
and gives them such exhilarating pleas
ure that they do not feel the labor in
volved.-New York Ledger.

A NIGHTMARE.


X had vlsion naught for miles and miles
But shattered colamns, shattered walls Of
gold
And precious stones that from their place
had roll'd
And lay in heaps, with litter'd golden tiles,
While here and there amid the ruined piles
or gold and sardius and their glittering
mold,
Wild tufts of amaranth had taken hold
Seeming the golden desert like sweet isles.
And not one soul and not one step nor sound,
Until there started up haggard head
Out of the gold from somewhere underground
Wildly he eyed me and the wreck all round
"Who'rt thou?" quoth /. He shrlled a laugh
and said,
ssThe last of souls and this Is what found"
Aye, aye, the gates of pearl are crumbling
fast,
The streets of beryl topple stone by stone,
The throngs of souls in white and gold are
gone,
The Jasper pillars lie where they were cast.
The roohcss halls of gold are dumb and vast,
The courts of jacnth are forever lone,
Through shattered chrysolitc the blind winds
moan
And topaz molders into earth at last.
And earth is the reality; its hue
Is brown and sad, its face is hard to till;
Upon mans brow the sweat must hang like
dew,
But grain takes root in valley, plain and hill,
Tho never here the amaranth yet grew.
And grain breeds grain. and more and more
grain still.

AN Impressive Part of a Funeral.

A very beautiful and impressive ad-
junct to an aristocratic official Partisan
funeral is the presence in the procession
of the coupe of the deceased, the horse
or horses, led by grooms in mourning
liveries, and the lanterns lighted and
veiled in long streamers of semitrans-
parent Grape. The effect is at once
somber and picturesque, and is espe-
cially striking at the obsequies of some
great parsonage, such as M. Theirs,
Gambetta or Victor Hugo. Nobody,
not even the nearest relative Of the de-
funct, sper1nitted to occupy the vehicle.

A Painfui operation.


A farmer shaving is one Of the most
painful sights ever witnessed outside
downright butchsry For some reason
beyond the present depth of knowledge
the man who "beards" in the country
always has beard like new hair
brush, and he can never learn how to
sharpen razor, He gets on the back
porch with his shaving utensils, and
after rubbing the razor over the strop ia
an awkward fashion until whatever
trace of edge it may have had has been
destroyed he hangs up his broken glass,
and takes position alongside the
kitchen door, where the old lady will be
Sure to jostle his arm when she goes out
to empty her dishwater.
With brush that has but little handle
remaining he manages to stir up lot OF
lather from soap that would raise blis-
ter on the bottom of a boys foot, and
with this he coats his face till nothing
but his eyes and the back Of his head are
visible. With his thumb dipped in
warm water he goes over the stubble
again with vigor that makes his flesh
creep, until he feels that all reasonable
precautions for comfort in the subse-
quent operations have been taken.
Taking the razor and looking at it sus-
piciously over the top of his glasses, he
runs his thumb along the edge, fails to
draw blood as he had hoped, and then
with sigh grabs himself by the nose,
shuts his eyes and gives scrape that
makes his hair stand on end, as bunch
of bristles seems to come out by the roots.
But, once at it, terrible desperation
seems to nerve him, and, with his teeth
set, he goes right on with determine
ton to get the agony over as soon as
possible.
/ Howls of woe break from him now
and then as an expression that poisons
life steals over his face and stops there
till the last nerve has been pulled out
of the socket by that terrible razor and
the last bit of stubble has been laid
low.
Then, and only then, with a sigh of
relief he strikes up hymn of thanks
giving and joyfully throws his shaving
paper into the ash pit near by.-Chicago

The shape of a Glass Eye.

An artificial eye is not made in the
form of a globe, as many people imag-
inc, but is much the shape of half wal
nut shell, though not so deep, and very
thin and light. Even this, however,
causes irritation if kept in the socket
constantly, and case lately came un-
der my observation in hospital of a
young man who had worn glass eye
continuously, night and day, for several
years, with the result that an inhamma-
ton started in the socket, which will
probably prevent his ever wearing one
again.-London Tit-Bits.
