SHOULD BE STOPPED.

The chief of police of Minneapolis
has directed the discontinuance of
the nickel-in-the-slot machines, as
the courts have recently declared
them to be gambling devices. What
the Minneapolis official has ordered
has already been done in ST. Paul,
Winona and all the other cities of the
state except Mankato. A gambling
device that is too rank for the twin
cities ought not to be tolerated in
Mankato. If they are permitted to
continue, it will be in direct violation
of the law.
Pass one of these machines any time
of the day, and person will see a
crowd of young men and boys around
it, playing for small stakes and de-
veloping a taste and appetite for the
excitement of gambling. These
machines furnish recruits by the
score for the gambling rooms. Here
tofore Mankato has borne fairly
good reputation so far as the vice of
gambling is concerned, but now these
nickel-in-the-Slot machines are calling
forth considerable cenSure. Men and
boys daily make and lose several dol
lars in the indulgence of their rising
passion for gaming. These devices
are far more harmful and dangerous
than the rooms of a gambler, as they
are open to all, and are not attracting
the attention that they ought to.
We have said very little about
the matter in the past, hoping
that the mayor and police Off
Gals would follow the good eX-
ample set in other cities, or in the
absence of any move on their part
that the clergy of the city or the Y.
NJ. 9. A. would lead in the outspoken
complaint. The ministers and others
seem not to have been attracted by
the daily scenes almost under their
nose, and no word of protest has been
raised SO far as we are aware of. AS
a public journal, having an interest
in the moral as well as material we'll
fare of the city, the FREE PRESS
takes this occasion to enter it's pro-
test against further allowing the
gambling devices known as nickel-in-
the-slot machines and similar
machines to be operated in the city.
We ask the mayor to do his duty by
the people of Mankato and direct the
chief of police to see that this bust
ness is stopped, as it has been in
other cities.
We have confidence that he will do
so cheerfully and promptly.

EVANS DECLINES, KELLOn AC-
CEPTS.

When we went to press Thursday
afternoon the Prohibition congress
sional convention was waiting reply
from Mayor Evans, of Tracy, as to
whether he would accept the nomina-
tion for congress. Mr.. Evans sent
back message saying that necessity
compelled him to positively decline
the nomination. This left the dele
gates in much confusion of mind, as
they had counted on Mayor Evans ac-
cepting, and had not thought of any,
one else.
After a long delay and much eau
cusing, Ed. Anstin presented the
name of HI. S. Kellom, of Window,
saving that he had been staunch
Prohibitionist for twenty years, or
ever since the party started. He
does not turn his back on work, and
would be an honor to the party If
elected. He would make good run
Mr.. Kellom rose and positively re-
fused to accept the nomination, say
ing that he did not feel competent to
make the run.
G. S. Terry seconded the nominal
tion of Mr.. KelTom, which was then
made by reclamation, unanimously.
Mr.. Kellom said that he was no
talker, and that the convention
should put up man who could GO
through the district and talk. He
suggested the name of Elder Ed.
Savage, of Cottonwood county, and
declined in his favor.
After much pursuasion, Mr.. KEEL
lom finally consented to go on the
ticket, but said that he would do nc
work, but rely upon the Prohibition
lists to vote for him. He is a retired
farmer, and lives in Window, and is
a pleasant appearing gentleman, who
is highly spoken of by his friends.
The following congressional COM
mittee was appointed: l.. J. Robin
son, Cottonwood, chairman; Il. Price,
Martin; HI. Norton, Faribault.
The convention then adjourned.
A temperance rally was held at the
city hall sFriday, by Prof. Orlando
Bailey and wife. There was good
attendance

The war among the clothing mer-
chants goes merrily on. Stern & Hance
have hauled down their Objectionable
sign and have placed it at their en-
trance, and have nailed several suits
of clothing to the sidewalk in front of
their place of business. The italian
band continues to play there. Kruse
Bros. are also making big bid for
business, as is also l. Longini. The
other dealers are selling big quantities,
also. A load of people from eighteen
miles beyond ST. Peter, and another
from Minnesota Lake were IN the city
today and bought large bills of goods,
in each case amounting to the greater
part of a 800 bill. People are coming
in from all parts of this and adjoining
counties to take advantage of the re-
markably low prices. Auctioneer
Fowler, at j. d. Hilger's sold mans
No3S suit Tuesday for 81. Prices. are
being slaughtered right and left at all
the places. Look over the advertise
ments in this issue and see what the
different dealers have to say in type.
The local egg market is now being
we'll maintained, and farmers receive
from fourteen to fifteen cents a dozen
in trade from some of the grocers.
This is as much as is paid in any of
the towns around. 1t is claimed that
agents for egg dealers force the price
up in outside places, and pay more
than is paid in this city. This is
wrong, if so, and the price in Mankato
ought to be as high as anywhere at
all times. Let good prices be paid for
eggs by our dealers and grocers alike,
and trade will increase in the city,
through the larger number of farmers
coming to the city. Shippers of eggs,
who bring in eggs from other places,
could afford to pay the same prices as
paid elsewhere, with the freight adj
ded. We believe that the prices are
being now pretty we'll maintained and
there is little cause for complaint on
the part of farmers or business men.
Let us continue to keep the prices up
and make it profitable for the farmers
to drive long distances to this city.
Gen. Becker and Gen. Baker are
advertised to speak in Mankato Tues
day, Oct. 10Th, in the evening.

John E. King, editor of the Mobiles
County Democrat at Adrian, was in the
city Thursday on his return from the
meeting of the grand lodge of Knights
of Pythias at Minneapolis. In speak
ing of Second district politics he said
that he spoke with L. @. Long, the
peoples party candidate for congress,
week ago and that Mr.. Long eX-
pressed determination to remain in
the field and not retire in favor of
Gen. Baker, toward whom he
entertains no very kindly feelings.
He is in the field to stay until the end
of the fight, and is doing some cam
paign work in the western part of the
district.
John Farmer, of Madison Lake,
died Wednesday of typhoid fever. He
was 25 years of age, and leaves wife
and child. He was son-in-law of
Dennis cSullivan, a wealthy farmer
living near Madison Lake, and had
many friends. He had been sick for
some time and was reported out, but
suffered relapse. The funeral took
place at ,Marysburg Friday forenoon
DR.. S. E. Brown, of Minneapolis,
has opened an office in DR.. Andrews
old rooms in the Stern block, and

Homeopathic system of medicine, and
is thorough surgeon of experience.
He comes well recommended, is a
gentleman of pleasing address, and
will no doubt be well received here.
Edwin Loew addressed a good
sized audience at Good Thunder Fri
day night. AS on previous occasions,
number of German-Americans, who
have heretofore been staunch Demo-
Gratis, went to him and announced
their intention of voting the Repub-
hcan ticket hereafter. A taste of
lAemocracy's way of raising the
revenue was all they wanted to make
them good Republicans hereafter.

WORK WILL BEGIN SOON.

Contractor Carroll is preparing to
push work on the public building,
says Architect Gerlach. The latter
informs us that the laying of stone
is likely to begin within week. A
arge force of men is at work in Mr..
Breen's quarry at Kasota, getting the
stone ready, and the first carload is
expected any day. The stone has
been quarried and is being dressed as
rapidly as possible, and will be deliv-
cred right along. 1t is expected that
the walls will be put up one story and
the first-story beams put in this fall,
and everything gotten in readiness to
push matters next spring. This looks
more like business.

The best luck at duck hunting
which we have heard OF this fall was
that of John Lulsdorff and A. A.
Brooks, at Swan Lake Sunday. The
wind punched large flock of teal and
the four barrels shot into the flock
brought down fourteen ducks. The
result of the days sport for these two
gentlemen was fifty-five ducks. A
number of other parties were out to
the lake Sunday, but they had poor
luck. There have been so many hunt
ers there this fall that the ducks are
wild and difficult to get

ALL IN SCHOOL AGAIN.
Now for Another Winter of
Hard Brain Work.
Education too Often Obtained at
the Expense Of Nerve

Parents Study the Problem of Keep
ing up the Health at School.

School has been open nearly a
month.
The streets are crowded with ''Shin-
ing morning faces" full of eagerness
and ambition.
Anxiety of parents begins. Will
these young boys and girls stand the
nervous strain?
Every year thousands of bright and
interesting boys and girls are fatally
injured by the indescriminate and eX-
cessive school work.
Pale lips. languor, little eagerness
for play, irritability, and loss of
strength, shows that the close appli-
cation us making sad inroads upon
their heath. There should be no de-
lay in building up the child's system,
and feeding the WORKOUT nerves with
Paine's celery compound. Parents
find their children quickly gain
strength and color and increased
weight from this remarkable nerve
food. 1t is peculiarly suited to the
needs of their weakened powers OF
digestion and assimilation.
During the school year thousands
of children pursuing studies with an
ambitious eagerness altogether out of
keeping with their strength, have
been enabled to keep in school and
at work and to recover health and
nerve strength by careful use OF
Paine's celery compound, first pre-
scribed at Dartmouth's great profess
sor, Edward E. Phelps, M. d., LII d.
Parents who have studied the prob
lem of how to build up their chill
dren's health while at school have
found that Paine's celery compound
brought vigor and strength by keep
ing the blood pure and the nerves
and tissues richly nourished.
Physicians in all parts of the coun-
try earnestly recommend Paine's
celery compound to parents.

DEATH OF AN OLD SETTLER.

Mrs. Elizabeth Haslip died Sunday
night at her home near Madison
Lake, at the ripe age of "a years.
Death was due to the gradual weak
ening of her system, due to her lad
vanced years. She was one of the
early settlers, and was highly re-
spected by all who knew her. Her
husband died some years ago, and
several children survive her, among
them being James, John and Thomas
Haslip, and Mrs. Thomas Hayes, OF
Vernon.

he looks over your beautiful views.
They are as natural as possible and were

The HERALD, however, has taken the
trouble to make close examination of

partments with the view OF applying the
pruning knife in the interest OF public

"MERETRIcIous ENJOYMENT"
Judge York Comments Upon the Testi-
mony in the santoya Case.

Judge York Comments Upon tho Testi-
mony in tho santoya Cass.
Mrs. Caroline Santoya did not succeed
in convincing Judge York that her
voluminous charms had been damaged
to the extent of $4,000 by Diego Lopez.
The short and stout middls-aged woman
tried her best, but in summing up the
case yesterday the court announced that
he believed her relations with Mr.. Lopez
had been undertaken, not in accordance
with a marriage promise. but for the
purpose of "meretricious enjoyment"
Mrs. Santoys did not emerge from the
ordeal of the trial with any great degree
of immacula lateness. 1t was shown on
the trial by her own admissions that she
had lived with two men previous to the
alleged broken vows Of the well-to-do
Vernon rancher, and the two sons OF the
defendant each testified that they had
occupied "meretricious" relations with
her.
Judge York reviewed the testimony of
these witnesses, and commented upon
the alleged marriage contract in unspar-
ing language, saying that it had been
shown that the defendant must have
made the contrac. OF marriage with Mrs.
Santoya within Is minutes after he met
her, if her story was true. This meeting
took place in his walnut orchard. whore
the alleged offense took place upon
which the plaintiff based her complaint
of seduction under promise of marriage.
After his dissection of the claims Of Mrs.
Santoya, the court gave judgment for
the defendant.
