THE FORMAL OPENING.

Mankato Theatre was formally
observation-disclosures with the appear
ance of Charles Dickson and his fine
company in "Incog." The audience
was not large one but was a thor.
ougly appreciatjve one. The com.
pany which Mr.. Dickson heads is one
of the best that ever appeared in the
city, and con ,ains no poor members
Mr.. Dickson sustained his reputation
as first-class young comedian and
any future visit by him or his com.
pany will be warmly welcomed in
Mankato. The curtain-raiser, 1.-THE
Salt Cellar" is An amusing act, rep
resenting young married couples
first quarrel, over the overturning OF
salt cellar. They finally made up
and the scene ends happily. ''Incog''
is ia thoroughly laughable play in
three acts, in which three men look
so nearly alike that their relatives
AID friends do not know them apart,
others presence the mistakes made
on all hands keeps the audience in a
roar of laughter throughout. All the
parts were we'll taken, and nothing
bordering on the vulgar appears. The
entertainment gave entire satisfac
tiOn.
The splendid theatre appeared at
its best and all expressed their delight
that Mankato now has play house in
keeping with it's size. The scenery
worked perfectly,as we'll as the lights.
The heating and ventilating seems to
be as nearly perfect as possible. The
uSherS and doOr-tenderS are gentle
manly, and there is no drawback to
ones pleasure in attending. There is
not poor seat in the house, and those
who do not feel that they can afford
to pay the highest price for seats can
secure almost equally good ones at
such price as their means or inclina-
tion may render preferable. The
permanent rates are 25 cents, SO
cents, Is cents and one dollar.
The next attraction will be Chas.
Schilling's Minstrels, which will ap-
pear Satur lay evening, Nov. 4.
Too much cannot be said in eXtolling
this company, as it is now one OF
the leading minstrel troups on the
road, and is no strang to Mankato
people. The reserved seat sale opens
DIT 8 a. m. Wednesday, and the house
will be crowded.

TELL THE TRUTH.

+ The health officer reports no
cases of contagious diseases OF any
kind Friday. The precautions that
have been taken have practically
stamped out diphtheria, as this dis
ease has not shown its head for a
week. We are glad to be able to state
that the publication in these colun ms
of all cases that. have occurred has
completely headed off the panic which
threatened to exist, and has saved the
city the loss and injury which exagger-
ated reports, born of ignorance OF the
true state of affairs, would have caus-
ed this fall, and did cause last fall.
Mankato presents clean bill OF
health and has nothing to cover up.
The public has been correctly INFORM
ed through the columns of the FREE
PRESS as to the sickness in the city IN
the past, and it has confidence IN
those reports. In giving its readers
the best local news service in the city,
the FREE PRESS has the welfare OF
the city constantly in mind.
We pre- informed that Rec'eao re-
porter has been interviewing some OF
the citizens during Friday as to the
policy of making public the dlph-
liberia and other cases
of contagious diseases, as
they occur. 1t is an easy matter
to fix up interviews and by putting
words into peoples mouths and sup
pressing those bearing in favor of one
side of a case make it appear that
public sentiment is all one way. If the
Communications of the policy of pub
fishing the cases we have heard are
any criterion, it would be no difficult
matter to fill several columns with
interviews favorable to giving the
matter the widest publicity.
We feel that the WlSest
course to pursue is to tell the
truth. There is at all times so little
disease in the city that the showing
is favorable.
Under the mistaken policy of sup
pressing these cases, it will be remem-
bered that year ago a report got
abroad in the county and outside that
there were forty deaths from
diphtheria and hundreds of cases in
this city, and this was published in a
Lake Crystal paper. Equally. as alb
surd reports had to be constantly
denied. No such damaging r, ports
can get out this fall.
The ReUjeW is not so much animated
by an interest in the city's welfare, as
it feigns, as by desire to discredit the
good which the FREE PRESS is doing.
