THE OPERA HOUSE.

Several weeks ago the FREE PRESS
gave description of entire changes
and improvements which A. @. Bier
bauer had determined to make in the
opera house and stated that an archl-
tect from Minneapolis would soon
visit the city to look at the building
and prepare plans for its remodeling.
The architect who is III. G.. Carter,
spent Monday in the city and care
fully examined the building. AS
a result of his visit, it has been
decided to make some extensive and
costly alterations and Improvements
in the present structure, which will
result in increasing its seating cap
acity to 1,0OG.
In the first place, it is prososed tc
tear out everything except the
solid brick walls and build
it up new from the ground
The basement will be used for fur
naces, and the main floor will be low

pOrtico will lead from the sidewalk tC
the entrance. New and comfortable
seats will be put in and the boxes re
arranged and increased in number
The iron posts will be removed and
strong truss roof put on. The build
ing will be heated by steam.
One of the most important changes
will be made on the stage, which viii
be arranged in such a manner, includ
ing the dressing rooms, that no com
pany on the road, no matter how
good, will have any fault to find will
it or refuse to appear in Mankato OF

These changes will cost from $15,
900 to $4,000, SO Mr. Bierbauer in
forms us, and will be completed b.

plans as soon as possible and hay
them ready by May 1st. He has pre-
pared plans for large operahouses NTH

ON THE DEATH OF L. E. TODD.

Mr.. Todd was an old resident of
Blue Earth county, having settled in
Decoria township with his father
when young boy. The last eight
years he resided with his sister,
Mrs. I'll. L. McCollom, in this city,
during the time working with Mr..
McCollom, at the masonry trade. OF
which he became very proficient. The
last year of his life was spent in
Chicago, and two years prior to that
time at Duluth, where he worked at
his trade.
His funeral on Sunday was largely
attended, the services at the home
of Mr. McCullum being conducted by
Mr.. Marshall of the Congregational
church. His old friends and neigh.
bors in Decoria attended to every de-
tail of the arrangements for the inter
ment in Decoria cemetery in manner
which evidenced the high esteem in
which the deceased was held where
best known. Large numbers of his
friends drove down and met the fun
efal procession and accompanied the
remains to the grave. He leaves a
father, mother and six brothers and
sisters, among them Mrs. f, M. Cur.
rier, of Decoria, Mrs. McCollom, OF
Mankato, and Mrs. White. of Elan.
dreau, S. d. The latter attended the
funeral.
Mr.. Todd was an industrious, frugal
man, OF good character, and was held
in high esteem by all, especially his
fellow workmen, many of whom es.
cOrted the remains from the trair
when the same arrived in the city.

CLEVELAND'S INAUGURAL.

President CleFeland's inaugural ad-
| dress is doubtless satisfactory to all.
To the Democrats because it was
Democratic, and to Republicans be-
cause it is in about the line they had
reason to expect. 1t is a document
perfectly characteristic of it's author,
marked by that cumbrousness of ex-
preston for which all his state
papers have been noted, indefinite in
some points, while clear in others.
Upon the money question his posi-
tion has been well known by the cOun
| try every since he became DrOmi-
nent citizen in national affairs, and
he has met it in a way which leaves
no doubt as to where he still stands
upon that very important subject.
| Moreover he gives it first considera
tiOn in his address, showing that he
considers it the most important ques-
tion to be settled by the American
people. At the same time it is
notable fact that he will find ma
jority of the representatives of his
party who will disagree as to his con-
illusions upon that subject.
Upon the tariff he dwells upon his
fayorite theme of public economy and
declares that the closest of economy
should be observed in the carrying on
of the governmental statement which
will receive the appreciation of any
citizen, but a point which his own
party does not always observe. He
declares that the pledge made to the
people must be faithfully executed,
but is somewhat indefinite as to just
how far the free trade doctrine shall
be carried and protection wiped out.
Pensions are attacked in about the
way the public had reason to expect
they would be, as a RECKLESS eXpen-
diture, which overlapS the bounds OF
grateful recognition of patriotic SER
! vice and prostitutes to vicious uses
the peoples prompt and generous i'm
pulse to aid those disabled in theil
country's defense"
Upon the question of civil service
reform he places himself emphatical
ly in its favor, and it is undoubtedly
) his honest desire to carry out such {
reform if his party would let him. bu
: it will not, and the pressure will b.
be SO great as to break down any de
7 sire he may entertain on the subject
/ stubborn as he is. His past expert
| ence, however, has undOubtedl,
taught him lesson as to the weak
ness of the spoils system.
: On the whole, with the exception o
2 the onslaught which he recommend
, upon the tariff and the pension system
, the country would be benefited if tn
: reforms he speaks of were carried out
? He hit paternalism in way which
5 will not endear him to the Populists
l who helped elect him. But notwith
/ standing this he will receive tn
? hearty commentator of the people i
! his administration should succeed il
correcting the abuses which com
from the trusts, and which the lead
erS of his party have time and agail
declared so easy to correct.

DISCHARGED.

Judge Severance, in his order re-
leasing. A. B. Mills Monday after
noon, said:
1.-THE warrant is the case does not
charge any offenSe at all and no proof
is offered that any has been commit
ted, even if section 259 of the code
defines and Furnishes incest. Yet there
was no offence within that section as
alleged in warrant, Section 259 of our
criminal code provides punishment
for incest as there defined, but the
conditions do not exist in the law of
this state referred to in that section
necessary to give that section any
force or effect. There is no law in
this state declaring marriage within
any of the degrees of COnSaDguinity to
be inceStuOuS and void, and as long as
the law SO remains and the said Sec
tiOn of the code remains as it is, there
is no crime of incest in this state. |
come to this conclusion with great
reluctance, but | a am forced to it by
a careful consideration of the law,
which must in a criminal case be
strictly construed. The conclusion
then is that the petitioner, A. B.
Mills, is illegally imprisoned"
Mills family has been residing in
the city ever since his incarceration.
He owns a farm and some stock in
Cottonwood county, and intended tC
return there, although County Attor
ney Redding, of that county, warned
him that he might meet with person
al violence

THE CHARTER BUILDERS AT
WORK.

The charter commission of attor
neys met again Monday at ST. Paul,
and continued the consideration of
the charter question. Some of the
important points touched upon were
as follows: A provision was adopted
permitting councils to issue bonds to
refund outstanding Indebtedness, by
a majority vote. The council is to or
ganize on the first Tuesday after the
first Monday An ordinance or reso-
luton can only be introduced at a
regular meeting and shall then re-
ceive it's first reading. The second
reading must occur at regular meet
ing not earlier thai one week after
the first reading, and final action
must not occur earlier than one week
after the second reading. An ordi-
nance or resolution for the issue of
bonds increasing the city's indebted
ness requires vote of more than one
half and less than three-fOurths OF
UuC NOuuCl1, dhu UllSu w SuO
mitted to the council for final action.
Aldermen are prohibited from de-
manding or soliciting the appoint
ment of persons to positions in the
city government, or the placing OF
any upon the pay rolls. All charters
to corporations are to run for twenty
years. The provision which required
the official paper of the city to be a
daily was struck out.
In the matter of vacation proceed
ings it was decided that petition OF
at least one-half of the property own
ers of AUDITING property on street OF
alley to be vacated must be had be-
fore the council shall take action. 1t
requires three-fourths vote of the
city council to vacate the street or al
ley. The whole proceeding is subject
to appeal to the district court.
