A SPECIAL ELECTION seems to have re- suited in the election of Dr. Everett, 8 democrat, to congress for the Masssachu- setts district which has been represented by Cabot Lodge, recently promoted to the senate. The district is republican, and the result is due to votes of republicans who are dissatisfied with the manner by which the republican candidate MT. Bar rett, now speaker of the Mass. house of representatives, obtained the nomination. The vote was small one, being over II ,OO0 less in November last. Eyerett's plurality is IA

BOARD OF TRADE.

The meeting of the board of trade
Mondaymorningwas mostly devoted to
discussion of the freight rates, and
listening to reports from members of
the transportation committee.
HI. P. Jensen brought up the mat
ter of having the Mankato fountain
brought back from the worlds fair.
Pres. J. A. Willard produced let
ter from A. II. Winchell, of the Uni
verslty of Minnesota, asking that the
fountain be donated to the Universe
ty Museum, where the rest
of the state exhibits are going.
1t would be connected with the city
water works and Pasteur filter and
would be seen by thousands and could
not be placed IN better location to
advertise the resources of the city.
Mr.. Willard strongly favored the
donation Of the fountain as request
ed, as it would be a better advertise
ment Of Mankato stone at Minneapo-
lis, where there is considerable
market for it, than it would besin this
city, where we have all the quarries
and stone in buildings to show visit
ors. 1t would do more good in Mime
apolis than Chicago, as there is so
wide a competition at the latter
place.
DR.. Follman stated that he sawSupt.
Hunt this morning and he had said
that the fountain had been taken
down and was ready for shipment to
Mankato free of charge.
G. H. Higgs thought that it would
be best to bring the fountain to this
city and then decide upon it's DISPOSE
tion afterwards, as it was not yet sure
that the University Museum would DE
located in the exposition building. as
proposed. 1t would not be much seen
by business men and builders on the
University grounds. He moved that
the fountain be brought back to this
city.
o. O. Pitcher thought that if the
fountain was placed on the University
grounds it would be seen by 1,5OO
students who would Soon become bus
mess men and builders, and to have
the fountain there would be great
advertisement to the Mankato stone
industry. He moved to amend Mr..
Higgs' motion, so that the fountain
shall be presented to the University
Museum.
John Klein thought there were
reasons why it might be best to have
the fountain first returned to this
city.
The amendment was carried by
vote of seven to five, and the original
motion as amended was then carried
without opposition. Pres. Willard
was requested to inform Mr.. Winchell
and Supt. Hunt of the action of the
board. The meeting then adjourned.

Children Cry
for Pitchers CaStOFia.

"A week or ten days ago the FREE
PRESS published list of awards at
the worlds fair on the educa tional
exhibits from Minnesota. This list
was correct with one exception, that
mention of an award for the Mankato
Normal was in some manner omitted.
The Mankato Normal was the
only normal school in the
state which received an award
at the fair Oh it's educational exhibit.
This speaks well for our school and
puts itin the front rank, where wehave
always claimed it belonged, of the
schools of the state The exhibit of
the Mankato Normal is fine one, and
plainly Indicated the thorough work
which is done therein. All who are
in any way acquainted with the work
done there viii agree that the award
was justly merited. and is additional
test mOny of the fine reputation
which is being built up under the
present management.
Sheriff w. w. Barlow, of Cotton
wood county, arrived ia the city
morning with two prisoners to be
lodged in the county jail to await their
trial at Window. They are Frank
and Fred Heating, two brothers, and
are charged with committing rape
upon Susan Olson, servant girl who
was working for farmer in Cotton
wood county. The family was away
to spend the evening and the two fell
lows, who lived near by, came to the
house and overpowered the girl. After
their departure she ran to neighbours
and told the facts given above. She
had been diYested of every stitch of
clothing by the tiehds and went to the
neighbors in her nude state. If her
story is true, no punishment would
be too severe for her assailants. They
are tough looking characters.
The extreme west end of w. Front
street near the Blue Earth river
bridge, was Friday graded up.

A NEW STONE COMPANY.

Papers were signed today whereby,
for the sum of $4,000. Fred Widell
transfers to his brother, Gust Widell,
half interest in all the tools and
machinery owned by the former, and
also lease of a half interest for eight
years in the real estate comprising
the quarry. Fred Widell is to receive
a royalty on ali of the stone quarried.
The new firm will be known as Widell
& Co.. and each member will do the
work that he has heretofore done.
These two brothers are thorough
stone men, who have had wide and
successful experience, although young
in years, There is no more reliable
firm anywhere, as is testified by the
numerous large contracts that they
annually fill. We hope that the sue
cess of the past will be a measure of
that Of the future, and that the firm
may long flourish.

MANKATo FREE Prs
is PERFECTLY SAFE.

Contractor e. G. Burdick was seen
by FREE PRESS reporter and stated:
1.-The talk about there not being am
nile means for escape from the Normal
huiIding in case of fire is nonsense. as
anyone knows who is familiar with
the plans. Suppose that the worst
should happen and the broad and easy
stairways should be cut off by fire and
smoke, thing very improbable and
in any case not likely to occur before
there was time to empty the building
by the ordinary means. BY closing
the doors all draft would be temper
arily shut off and while the flames
were stayed, the pupils could go out
and down the wide fire escapes. There
are to be two of these upon each wing,
and they are to be regular iron stair
WAYS four feet wide. In very few
moments SIX hundred people could
pass from the assembly room, which
is only on the second floor while the
Dresent one is on the third floor, to
the ground. There never was build
ing better arranged for exit in case OF
fire."
Architect Gerlach, when SPOKEN to
about the matter said that there
were ample provisions for escaping
from the building in case of fire. The
outside iron stairwayS will permit of
the emptying of the building very
rapidly.
1t is the unanimous opinion of those
who are at all familiar with the build
ing that nothing is wanting so far as
means of escape in any case of fire is
concerned.
The citizens without exception. so
far as we are able to ascertain, con-
denim the sensational reports that
have been published with out investi-
cation as to the real facts in the case
At very little trouble the exact facts
could have been ascertained, and
false impression would not have gone
abroad through the territory from
which the school draws the cream OF
the young ladies and gentlemen as
students and whom our citizens de-
light to welcome to cur portals.
