A SHOOTING TOURNAMENT.

TheGun Clubrheld a meetingFriday
night and took action upon the ques-
ton of holding another tournament in
this city, similar to the tournament
held a year ago. 1t was decided to
have such a tournament on the 9th
day of May. G. III. Saulpaugh, John
Lulsdorf and A. G.. Bierbauer were ap-
pointed committee on invitation
and program. Prizes will be offered.
Last year the tournament was great
success, and many prominent sports
men from all parts of the state and

March winds and April showers
sweep and scOur the earth and clear
the air of winter impurities, making
it sweet and wholesome.
The same thing takes place in the
body, the pores open and the blood
that creeps in winter now PUSHES
through the arteries in fuller
stronger stream.
Now is the great season of puritica-
tion, of new life, new hope, new am
bition. 1t is the best time to get well.
Spring is hopeful, and the invalid gets
well quicker when hopeful than when
respondent.
Thousands of people throughout the
country are this month taking Paine's
celery compound-th great spring
medicine that makes people well.
'What March does not kill may be
done for by April" says an old adage.
The nine weeks from Feb. 1 to May
develop the hidden germs of disease
inside the body and without. For
health's sake back yards, cellars and
the dark closets and corners must be
cleaned out, and for health's sake
every one needs to take spring medi-
cine like Paine's celery compound;
years have shown the wisdom of do
ing so.

QUESTION OF A CREMATORY.

The question of disposing of garbage
and night soil is something that many
of the leading cities of the country
are now seriously discussing. We do
not mean by this that only the larger
and more pretentious cities are taking
an interest in this all-important sub
ject. Cities of 5000 people and up
ward are becoming aroused, and all
Health boards are unanimously in
favor of cremation.
DR.. Jacoby, the Health officer of
Mankato, in his recent report to the
council, advocated the induction of a
crematory in Mankato as soon as pos
Sible for the purpose Of destroying
garbage of every character and thus
protect the health and lives of our
people against the death-dealing,
disease-bearing germs which abound
on every hand in accumulated filth
and waste refuse.
Hon. David Joy, representing the
Dixon Sanitary Crematory Company,
of Findlay, Ohio, is in the city for the
purpose of discussing the merits of his
system with our officials. He is con-
fident that he has the best system eX-
tant for effectually disposing Of offal
of all kinds, and intimated to a FREE
PRESS reporter this morning that he
would put us in a plant at price so
low as to simply cover the cost. He
proposes to make it so complete and
acceptable as to leave no doubt as to
| it's efficacy by offering to run it thirty
days upon his own responsibility, and
if, at the end Of that time, everything
is not wholly satisfactory, it viii Re
made so before the city will be asked
to accept and pay for it. Mr.. Joy will
be in the city day or two, and it
would he good idea if the council
could get together and have him ap
pear and give them some information
regarding his system.
How to dispose of garbage is no
longer question of doubt. Can the
city afford to take hold of the matter
at this time is essentially a point for
careful consideration. The guarding
Of public health is question of great
importance to those in official com
mand of city affairs.

TAD DOG SCARE.

The township of Decoria has mad
dog scare on its hands. Mr.. Nicholas
Juliar was in the cityFriday and stat
ed to FREE PRESS reporter that
what.was supposed to be dog suffer-
ing from rabies ran amuck among the
dogs there yesterday. 1t was large
black dog, and chased the other dogs
around. Even fighting dogs were
afraid of it, and fled away on it's ap-
proach. 1t is not known whether any
dogs were bitten, but it is not
though that any cattle or horses fell
victims to the mad dog. Geo. May
mounted his horse and followed the
dog until he found it, and then shot
it. It's thought that Mr. Mays two
dogs were bitten. 1t would be well
for any of the farmers who think
their dogs We're bitten to XII them
Mr.. Juliar also informs usof the
action of the DecOria board of super
vsiors, of which he it president, re-
garding the town road graders. 1t
appears that the wealthy farmers have
been using the graders to ditch their
farms, but that poorer farmers with
only one team of horses, could not use
the machines. To equalize matters,
the board voted to charge dollar a
day for the individual use of the
graders. 1t was also voted not to al
low the graders to 60 outside of the
township under any consideration.
The board voted to use three inch
inch oak plank for bridge work here
after, if it can be obtained.

A DEGENERATE SCOUNDREL.

Some degenerate cuss, lost to all
semblance Of decency and moral SEN
sibility, entered the Christian church
some night this week, stole the COM
munion set and pulpit bible, and lit
tered the church up in most offens-
i've manner. 1t is supposed that ac-
cess to the building was gained
through the window, as the door was
locked and no evidence of it's having
been tempered with is visible.

nouncement that he will pay $500 for
information that will lead to the

GET NEW BLOOD IN APRIL.
The Body a Machine that Cannot be Stopped for
RepairsPaines Celery Compound Feeds It's
Shattered Nerves, Purifles the Blood, Makes
Refreshing Sleep Possible

ed with the greatest nicely, and de-
rangement of one affects the whole.
We cannot stop this complicated
mechanism for repairs, because we do
not know the secret that would set it
going again. The repairs must be
made when it is in motion.
1t is in sleep that the machine
goes slowly, the heart beats less rapid
ly, the blood circulates less quickly,
the nerves rest, the muscles relax,
and each gains vigor in the only way
it can-by sleep and rest. Paine's
celery compound quiets and regulates
the nerves by supplying the material
for their repair, and the tired, eX-
hausted man and woman on the verge
of breaking down, gets sleep and the
means of. recovery to health and
strength.
All over the country Paine's celery
compound is convincing overworked
business men, anxious housekeepers,
women behind counters and in offices,
school teachers, and all who use their
brains excessively, that the unQuali-
ed praise from physicians and others,
who are careful tof what they say, is
none too strong for this great remedy
that is making so many well and
strong.

April has always been set down as
the best time to remove impurities
from the blood and to regulate the
nervous system.
The formula for Paine's celery COM
pound was given to the world by Ed
ward e. Phelps, M. D., LII. D., while
he was still active professor in the
Dartmouth medical school. A re-
markable nerve food and blood puri-
fer, it is the most valuable contribu-
ton to the worlds : progress that
American college influence has sent
forth.
Its power of restoring lives of count
less men and women from feebleness
and despair to strength and usefulness
is known in every part of the country.
1t has added years of active, joyous
existence to thousands of weak, tired
out, ailing women who thought them
selves doomed to be invalids for the
rest of their days. Paine's celery COM
pound cures thoroughly and finally
rheumatism, neuralgia, dyspepsia. dis
eases of the heart, liver and kidneys,
and every form Of nervous weakness.
1t cures as nature cures, by feeding
the vital inmost parts of the body, the
blood and nerves.

NEW FIRM.
IL. B. Perrin Buys Half Interest in

tablishment.

The papers are being drawn which
Will convey a half interest in H. p.
Jensen's large and prosperous estab-
llShment to Horace B. Perrin, former
ly of Amboy, but late of Sioux Falls.
S. d. Mr.. Perrin has been in the city
for several days, and the negotiations
have been satisfactorily completed,
and all that remains to be done is to
complete the drafting of the papers,
which will be on Monday without a
doubt.
Mr.. Perrin has rented Mr.. PaddOck's
house and will move his family to this
city. He is an old resident of the
county and is well known in this part
of the state as a successful business
man. He will be welcome accession
to the business circles of Mankato.
With two such good men as Mr..
Jensen and Mr.. Perrin in one firm, it
would be remarkable if any business
failed to prosper. The manufacture
of Mr.. Jensen's patent hobs will be
undertaken and pushed. The wag-
on and carriage departments will
receive especial attention, and the
business will be pushed. We predict
the fairest kind of future for the
new firm, and our wish is father to the
thought.

THE CONCERT.

The appearance of Miss Ellen Beach
Yaw at the opera house Friday
evening, brought out an exceptionally
fiattering audience, both as to num-
bers and personnel, and it is not too
much to say that no entertainment of
like character was ever given in our
city where the cOncensuS of delightful
appreciation was SO universal, and
where all were SO pronounced in pay
ing deserved compliments to the per-
formers.
In entertainments of various kinds,
the public has been led to look some
what suspiciously upon the great
majority of press notices wherein the
principals are showered with fatter-
ing encomiums. This is so from the
fact that these notices are too often
given for the purpose of drawing the
people, and the real and expected
merits fall far short Of anticipations.
Mot so, we are pleased to say, with
the high compliments which have been
paid Miss YaW. She met the highest
anticipations, proved herself entitled
| to all the words of commentator
passed by press and people, and left
her audience filled with pleasurable
thoughts at having listened to a truly
| phenomenal voice, trained to a de-
gree of perfection which rendered it's
mastery easy and charmingly sweet.
No canary bird can MARBLE it's lay of
song more entrancingly, and every
articulation was as clear and distinct
as is the sound of a bell. There is
nothing ''screechy" or husky in her
singing. Nothing but music escapes
her lips, and it strikes the ear of her
auditor with lasting effect.
Max Dick, the violinist, is not a
stranger to Mankato audiences, but
the lapse Of several years since his last
visit here shows wonderful progress
and perfection in handling the bow
| He now ranks among the old masters,
and it is not too much to say that he
is the finest yiolinist in the world,
when we take age into account.
Q Miss Lay, the pianiste, is an artist
of rare merit, and as an accompanied
she is one of the very best, and this is
saying much.
The committee of the Presbyterian
organ fund is to be congratulated up
on having presented the people of
Mankato with an attraction so replete
with pleasurable refinement, and we
are pleased to note that, after all ex-
penses have been paid, the fund will
be the richer by fifty or sixty dollars.
