"A delegate to the Modern Wood

FREE PRESS reporter yesterday where
the public library was, and seemed as
tonished when informed that Manka

Wing is Just establishing one, and he
had expected to get good deal OF
valuable information in city of the
size of Mankato, that ought naturally

He stated that the Red Wing librar!

Bismarck's WhiSkers.

Many OF Blsmarck's friends and ad-
mirers have been panied to learn that
he is permitting his beard to grow.
They seem to think that beard will
destroy the striking quality of his ia
cial expression. Others somewhat
fiippantly reply that his whiskers will
afford the emperor of Germany the
only chance he has ever had of getting
a grip on the old man. Be that as it
may, the ST. Paul & Duluth railroad,
more popularity known as the Duluth
Short Line, has firm grip upon the
whtskers of success and means to hold
it. This line runs the latest and best
equipment on fast time to convenient
schedules, over smooth road, be-
tween the finest terminals. Close
connections for all points at either
end of the line. For information ap-
ply to ticket agents or to George w.

THE STORM.

Friday was so warm that the
snow melted during a good part,of
the day. Last evening it began to
snow and an inch or two fell, and
again this morninga heavy snow set
in, but did not alast slong. In all,
about three inches fell. The temper
allure began to go down towards
morning, and has slowly continued to
do so all day. A northwest wind set
in and this afternoon there was con
siderable drifting. but not enough to
interfere with travel.
The first good sleighing of the sea-
son was enjoyed today, and as there is
splendid foundation for it, 1T will
probably continue. The snow is heavy
and damp and packs easily.

August Scharfenberg, who lives
in Dukes addition, was arrested Sat-
urday night at the instance of his
wife, who claimed that he was drunk
and drove her and the children out of
The house. He was given lecture
this morning by Judge Porter and was
discharged. In reply to questions of
the court he stated that he is a labor
ing man and that his home is mort
gagged for $500. The court asked him
if be thought that getting drunk and
raising cain would pay off the mort
gage. The court told him that if he
didn't leave whisky alone the mort
gage would soon swallow up his home
and he would have none. Scharfen
berg promised that this would be hi;
last appearance in court, as it was his
first. and thanked the court for let
ting him go.

THIRD STAGE OF CATARRH.
How Consumption Begins and Ends

In the third or last stage of chronic
catarrh, the thickened and swollen
membranes become thin and Shiny,
and the sputa thick and of very Of
fensive odor. Unless something is
done to prevent, the catarrh will fol-
low the mucous membrane into the
lungs, where it will be followed by
cough, night sweats, rapid loss of flesh,
and the other dread symptoms of con-
sumption. How few people seem to
realize this truth! Who has not seen
the victim of consumption struggling
for life in the fatal grasp of its last
stages? The unnatural brightness of
their CLASSY, anxious eyes, the hectic
flush of their shrunken cheeks, the d.
lated nostrils, and deep, sepulchral
voice. the painting breath. and fiutter-
ing heart, the frightfully emaciated
form, the hopefulness of the patient
and the hopelessness Of the attend
ants-all make a pathetic figure which
is far too common. A slight cough,
little hoarseness, or only sore throat
was the beginning which, being neg
lected, led to an end so disastrous
that no pen can give it adequate ode
scription. Pe-ru-na taken in time new
er fails to avert such a sad result.
Those who desire further particu-
lars should send for free copy of
"Climatic Diseases" one of the latest
and best books published on catarrhal
diseases.

A SAD DEATH.

1t becomes our sad duty to chronicle
the death of Fallie E., wife of Theo-
dore Williams, which occurred at $3.50
O'Clock Saturday evening. The i'm
mediate cause of her death was neu-
ralgia of the heart, due to weakness
caused by the fra cture of the hip re-
ceived two weeks ago. The fracture
itself would not have resulted fatally,
and Mrs. Williams was progressing
satisfactorily until the heart compli-
cation set in. DR.. Warner was the at
tending physician.
The deceased was born and raised
at Winnebago City, aud was the young
est child Of Mr. and Mrs. j. III. Welsh,
of that place. She was twenty-five
years of age. Three years ago she
was united ia marriage with Mr.. Will
liams. and two small children are left
motherless, two year old girl and a
four months old boy. Mrs. Williams
was a favorite with all who knew her,
and her untin ely death will be sim
cerely mourned by her large circle Of
friends, roth in this city and at Win
nebago City. An affectionate daugh-
teer and a loving wife, she was the
idol of her family circle, now left
desolate and weeping by the touch of
the wand of the Universal Destroyer.
Her Cruces of mind and character
were such that her acquaintance was
highly priced. The sympathy of all
will GO out to the bereaved husband
in his affection and to the children
who will never know mothers sweet
love and to the cherries tireside at
Winnebago City.

Part six of the "Book of the Fair"
is simply continuation of the fine
work of the previous issues. The il
Illustrations are largely devoted to the
manufacturers building, and as one
looks them over he can easily imagine
himself back there again, surveying
the wonders which the hands of men
have wrought. The descriptive por-
tion is a continuation of the chapter
on foreign manufactures, and the first
pages of chapter 10, on liberal arts,
are given. We understand that there
is an opportunity for few more COM
petent persons to canvass for this SUI
perb book. and we know of no more
praiseworthy or profitable occupation.

Ferninst John Martin.

At meeting in Metropolitan hall, To-
peka, Sunday night, presided over by Mrs.
Lease and attended by most of the populist
representatives and senator's, and party lead
ers, committee on resolutions and address,
consisting of G. G. Clemens, Rev. W. G..
Todd and W. H. Bennington, made the fol-
lowing report, which was accepted and
signed by almost all of the populists present.
The resolutions are rs follows:
Whereas, The moral movement for the
improvement of the material conditions of
the masses of the people in our country,
which has chrystalized into the peoples
party of the United States, has won a con-
spicuous victory in the state of Kansas, and
has now given US the power to produce ben
eficial results in legislation, therefore
Resolved, that the social principles which
have thus far led us, and the political vic
tory we have thereby gained, both forbid
our throwing away our advantages and our
loyalty to truth; and
Resolved. That we therefore express to the
people Of Kansas our views in the following
address:
The address is of the nonpareil variety and
too long to reproduce here. 1t is, in strong
language, a middle of the road document
especially aimed atJohn Martin but strikes
at compromise democrats" from all sides.

DictAtlon," Says tho Multitude.

LONDON, January 25.-Au Egyptian crisis
exists. The khedive has intimatsd to Lord
Roseberry his intention to rcfor 10 tho Turk
ish sultan and to the treaty powers the nc
ton Of England In causing the dismissal OF
tho FakhaIi cabinet
The multitude takes sides with tho khedive
and against what they call inhdel dictaton.
Mr.. Gladstone caused a cabinet meeting to
be called to consider the situation. The
council sat for two hours. When the cabi-
net adjourned it was to reasonable at 4
o'clock p. III.
The prolonged session of tho cabinet is
understood to be due to difference of opin-
ion as to the necessity of reinforcing the
British army of occupation in Egypt, both
with view TO protecting British interests at
Cairo and to protecting the frontier against
the dervishes, who have recently become
very menacing. Information is received
that the French government, while refrain
ing from Directing 10 kiaz Pasha as premier,
would maintain the right of the khedive 10
