The marriage of Miss Mary Ellen,
Oldest daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Samuel III. Grannis, to Rev. Herbert
L. Case, of Clear Lake, Iowa, was
solmnized at the home of the brides
parents, 52S S. Fourth street, at 9:3O
O'Clock Tuesday forenoon. Rev. J.
E. Stout pronounced the words That
united them, and the ceremony was
witnessed by large gathering of re-
latives and intimate friends. The
bride was the recipient of a number
of handsome presents.
At the conclusion of the ceremony
and congratulations, the party sat
down to an excellent dinner. The
newly married couple took the 3 40
train Tuesday over the Milwau-
kee road for Albert Lea. They will
be sat home" after Sept. Sd, at Clear
Lake, Iowa, and will reside there I'M
til Mr.. Case receives an assignment at

and highly popular young lady.
She is a graduate of the
Normal school, and an active member

excellent qualities have won her the
love and esteem of all who know her.
Mr.. Case is young minister, and is a
son OF f. W. Case, a grain dealer of
Clear Lake, Iowa. He is bright and
popular and has promising future
before him. The young couple take

Gus friends in this city and county,

SIBLEY PARK.

EDITOR FREE Press:
The impression prevails that
Sibley Park cannot be closed to the
general public and an admittance fee
charged. This is correct in theory
but it is not right. Our friends
who delight in the rapid equine could
arrange some fine races if they could
control the grounds. Our young men
who look for glory on the diamond
could have some fine base ball games
if they might know that they could
shut out the ''free gratis"fellows. The
same is true of the wheelmen.
These meetings would bring our
city many strangers, and the benefits
resulting would be many. 1t is true
than the park belongs to the general
public, but the wishes of the class of
citizens referred to have been care
fully considered in the improvements
made this season, and it is only right
that they should, at advertised dates
after proper action of the council,
have entire control of the park. In
no other way can such entertainments
be made success. M. B. HAYNES.

A GOOD SUGGESTION.

EDITOR DAILY FREE PRESS:
Do you not think that the board of
health should modify the order an
nounced in your paper OF last evening
relative to the vaccination of school
children? To put an order like that
into immediate operation will GER
tainly operate great hardship and in
convenience to nearly every family in
the city, because of the short notice
given before the opening of the
schools. The schools open next Mon
day and to enforce the order in its
full sense will deprive hundreds of
children from having the benefit of
the opening days of the school, and
will render the first week or two of
the schools practically useless. The
precaution being taken by the board
is wise one, but it should have been
inaugurated several weeks earlier in
order to let parents attend to the
matter with their children. | would
suggest that the time for enforcing
the order be postponed for four or six
weeks, thereby giving parents ample
time to employ physicians and have
the vaccinating done. Another hard
ship that this immediate enforce
ment will work, will be upon poor
people who have to struggle lat this
time of year to equip their children
with books, clothing, etc.,at the open
ing of the schools. The additional
expense of vaccinating all the children
in a family, while burdened with
these other necessary expenses, will
become hardship to hundreds of
poor families, and should not be en-
forced upon them on such short no.
tice. Yours

large circle of friends. She has held
several responsible positions, more re-
Gently holding position at the big
mill, and has been substitute teach
er in the public schools. Mr.. Schmitt
is fortunate in securing so estimable
lady to preside over his home. He
is principal of the Jackson schools, is

educational circles of the state. His
future is bright with promise, to
which today's happy event adds much.

FOR COUNTY COMMISSIONER,

His many friends have prevailed
upon Mr.. Robt. Roberts to become a
candidate for county commissioner
before the Republican county conven-
tion. Mr. Roberts was born in Wales,
and moved to America in 1856, settling
in this county one year later. He en-
listed in Co. e.. Ninth Minnesota, in
August, 1862, and served for three
years. After the war Mr.. Roberts
followed for fifteen years the business
of contracting for plastering, and dur
ing the next ten years was in business
in the foundry. Since then he has re-
tired from active business affairs. He
is staunch Republican, a careful
and painstaking business man, enjoys
wide acquaintance, and is just the
kind of man to creditably fill the
position J county board for which
he is 4didate. We commend Mr..
Rol claims to the consideration
of the county convention, feeling sure
that if nominated he would be
elected.

THE MORTAL SCHOOL.

All departments of the school will
open on Monday next, Sept. Sd. The
entrance examinations for the Normal
department commences tomorrow
morning at 9 o'clock, and will be con-
tinued all day and through Friday.
The Model school pupils, old and new,
are not expected to report until Mon
day morning.
The new kindergarten will open at
O'Clock Monday morning, and it is
desirable that all mothers who wish to
have their children enrolled, should
come with them at that time. Only
a limited number of children can be
received, not more than % being de-
sirable The advantages offered by
this new department will be first
class The material conditions are
delightful-a beautiful room, taste
fully decorated, the most approved
furniture, full equipment Of gifts,
etc. No expense has been spared to
make this an ideal kindergarten, and
the school and city are to be congratu-
lated on the permanent possession at
last of one so well appointed in all re-
spectS. 1t will be in charge of two
graduates, both well qualified for the
work, by nature as well as training,
and cannot fail to be successful. The
tuition charge will be small, probably
not exceeding so cents per week. This
is much less than most private Kin
dergartens, and only two-thirds the
charge at Winona.
The prospects for the general at
tendance in the Normal school are eX
cellent. The calls for catalogues and
special information would indicate
larger attendance than last year.
The building elicits expressions of
delight from all visitors. 1t can safely
be said that it is now the most con-
yeniently arranged and most attractive
Normal school building, not only in
the state, but in the northwest.
1t has been decided to postpone for
a few days the general invitation to
the citizens to inspect the building.
The equipment of the laboratory o
physical science is not completed,
owing to the delay in the arrival OF
the slate tables, and some furniture
for other rooms, ordered many weeks
ago, is unaccountably delayed.

The past summer has clearly de-
monstrated the power and necessity
of advertising. Especially so in the
case of retail merchants, who either
possessed or purchased large stocks of
goods. Never before has the public
been offered so many bargains" and
it is safe to say that in most cases
they really were bargains, Those
merchants who advertised judiciously
found their stores well crowded and
their profits preceptible, even though
large sums had been expended in at
tracing the attention of the public.

GOOD AND BAD BLOOD.
The Weak Point in the Spring


We are told that the source of three fourths
Of our diseases is in our blood; that good
purgatiye three or four times year will keep
may be all right for strong, fat people, people
whose blood is Too rich. For thin people it
certainly is not good. Dyspeptics csnsump-
tives, pale, thin an,emio people suffer from
from poor blood, a scarcity Of red corpuscles.
No purgatiye or SO called blood medicine can
help them.
"rhe blood is the life; YES bu, What makes
the blood? Food. Good food is all that is
needed to make pure blood rich.
Paskola the rich pre-digested starch food, is
often recommended by physicians for this very
purpose.
There is no difficulty in understanding why
it is that small quantity of Paskola will do so
much good. 1t is made out Of mans most i'm
portant food starch. In order to help the
weak stomach, it is predigested.
Any good pure tasty starch food will do you
as much good as Paskola If you can digest it.
II you can't, nothing will do YOU good eXcept
Paskola, for it is already digestcd.
Pas kola is not q blood medicine. 1t is a food
that cnriches the blood. 1t also helps the di-
geStipu 90 other food.
1t makes thin, pale. poor blooded people so

SUDDEN DEATH!

the sheet suddenly fell to the floor; he
placed one hand over his heart, gasped, and
sank back in his chair, evidently uncon-

sternation, and Immediately summoned a
physician. But il was too late. The old
gentleman was dead, Physicians gave heart
disease as the cause. "-Hoibrook Herald.

Reader, if you have symptom of this
