MARRIED..

At $3.50 o'clock TueSdaymorning Mr..
John L. Mcneil, of Delavan, and Miss
Carrie E. Lindsey, of this city, were
united in marriage at the residence
of the brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs. G.
III. Lindsey, on Clark street. The
ceremony was performed by Rev.J.H.
Stout, in the presence of few friends.
The affair was very quiet one, and
the newly married couple took the
noon train for Delevan, where they
will at once 60 to house keeping, and
will be at home to their friends.
Mr.. Mcneil is young and prosper
Gus farmer, running some 24O acres.
He is young man of excellent char
acter, and will no doubt make first
class husband. The bride was born
at Vernon Center and has grown to
womanhood in this county. For the
past ten years she has resided in Man
kato, and has taken an active part in
the Young Peoples Society of the
Methodist church, and in the Good
Templar society. She is an excellent
young lady, and has many friends in
the city and county who will wish her
any amount of mortal bliss.

DEATH OF A PATRIARCH.

Mr.. III. L. Green, of North Mankato,
returned Tuesday fromn Owatonna,
where he was called to attend the
funeral of his grandfather, Lorenzo
Green. The latter was born Oct. 10,
1906, and emigrated from New York
to Owatonna about the year 1854, set.
Ting in country then infested with
Indians He cultivated farm and
raised family of six children, one
son NOW deceased and five daughters.
Before he died he was the head of a
remarkable family. He had twenty
four living grand children, twenty
eight living great grand children and
two great great grand children. Five
generations were living at once, fact
which seldom occurs in these days
when mans life is limited generally
to three score and ten years. Mr..
Green had reason to be proud of his
family in more ways than one. Be
sides the large number, his offspring
have made good, law abiding citizens,
which is as much as the state expects
OF its children.

AN ADVANTAGEOUS CHANGE.

The change of time on the Chicago
& Northwestern road is a great adj
vantage to MankatO merchants, and
to the people living along the road who
desire to do their trading in this city.
People living to the west of this city
can come to MankatO at $3.50 a. M, and
after transacting their business leave
for home at Ills a. M. or at 7:15 p. m.
Those residing east of Mankato can
come here at 11:30 a. M, and leave at
1920 p. m. Nothing could be more sat-
isfactory, and this is, in fact, what
MankatO has been striving for, for
years. When the greater convenience
becomes known, larger trade with
the adjoining towns may be expected.
We are glad to see that the North
ern road has at last put on such a
good train service. People coming
from Chicago in the evening can ar
rive before they can on any other road.
Those who take the morning train
from Chicago are obliged to re-
main over night at Winona, as the
train goes no farther west than Vase
Ca. This is on account of the light
traffic of this train, scarcely amount
ing to two persons a day according to
the brakemen's records. Therefore it
will be no hardship worthy of COM
plant. When the public understands
the exact situation, the Northwest
ern road will receive the thanks of all
for the manner in which it has taken
care of the interests of MankatO.

DEATH OF IRIS. GEODES.

Mrs. Margaret Geddes died at $50
o'clock Tuesday night after an illness
dating back to about Feb. lst. At
that time she was taken with the
grip, but was not confined to her bed
except during the last three weeks.
Drs Davis and Andrews were summon
ed as physicians, but the disease baf-
fed their skill and made insiduous
progress. Death is believed to have
resulted from liberation of the
stomach, and the patient suffered
several severe hemorrhagesa few days
ago. She died at the residence of her
son, W. r. Geddes.
Mrs. Geddes was about siXty-nine
years of age, and was born at Band
bridge, county Down, Ireland. A
year after her marriage she emigrated
to America with her husband and
settled at Albany, n. Y, later NOV
ing to Poinette, Wis, where they re-
sided for seven years. In 1864 they
settled on a farm near st. Clair, and
for many years followed the pursuit
of agriculture. The deceased is
survived by her husband and four
sons and three daughters. The chill
dren are w. r. Geddes, of this city,
Chas. D., now attending the univer-
sify law school, J. r. and John H., of
Oregon, Mrs. HI. r. King, of Grand
Rapids, Mimi, Mrs. J. E. Grant and
Mrs. l.. M. Thurston, of Window.
All of the children, except the two
sons in Oregon, will attend the
funeral.
Mrs. Geddes resided in this city dur
ing the last years of her life, and was
known to many of our citizens as an
honest. industrious old lady, who was
ambitious to support herself in her
declining days. She was respected by
all, and her death will cause sincere
regret

AN UNPRECEDENTED OFFER.

The FREE PRESS, ever mindful Of
the interests of it's friends and patrons,
misses no opportunity to give them
the most for the least money. No
paper in Blue Earth county can begin
to furnish the same amount OF read
ing matter for SO little money. Just
think of it! We give the Weekly
FREE PRESS, Chicago Inter- Ocean, New
York Tribune and ST. Paul Globe for
the small sum of S1.S0 per year. Re-
fleet for moment what this unprece-
denied offer means! 1t means that
for 81. SOwe can furnish you with what
will aggregate 10000 columns OF
choice reading matter; reduced to
inches, we find 275,OOO; measured by
feet, D. 917; considered in rods, 1,4OO;
or to make it more comprehensive
still, it would give you newspaper
column nearly four miles in length.
These figures are given in round num-
berS, and any one who cannot afford,
even in these good old Democratic
times, to give 80 cents a mile for
choice reading matter, is beyond the
Point of salvation.
Now is the time to subscribe. If
you are a Democrat, the Globe will
feed you the unadulterated stuff,
and to neutralize the dose you can
then read the FREE PRESS, Inter-
Ocean and Tribune. If a Republican,
you can read the Globe to see how hard
pressed the Democrats are for reason

THE REr1ENYI CONCERT.

The concert by the Remenyi compa-
ny, lat the Baptist church Monday
attracted the largest house which has
yet been accorded any of the enter
tainments on the Star Course. Rows
of chairs had to be placed down the
aisles to accommodate the people who
had not course tickets.
Remenyi and his able support were
put in the best of humOr at the start
by the liberal applause which the au-
dience gave, and an encore was not
refused on any of the numbers. Re-
menyi fully sustained his high reputa-
tion as an artist, and the concert was
better than the one given last year by
the same company. The audience
was thoroughly enthusiastic through
out the entire entertainment, and on
the seventh number Remenyi was
called back three or four times. He
certainly seems to draw from violin
everything that it possible for human
touch and human skill to do. Under
his handling more tones can be Sc
cured from violin than ever seemed
possible, while the delicacy of his
touch at times seemed strangely con-
trasted with his activity at other
times.
Signor de Riva Berni, at the piano,
was a favorite, and was one of the most
skillful players that we ever had the
pleasure of listening to. Miss Minnie
D. Methot has a rich voice with plenty
of volume, and under good control,
and her efforts were appreciated by
the audience.
AS a whole, the concert was undOubt-
edly the best that has been given in
this city for several years.
The last entertainment on the
course will be that of Leland Il. Pow
ers, the impersonator, next Monday
night. Among other things he will
imperSonate characters in Dickens
"David Copperfeld."

A BAD FALL,

Late Tuesdayafternoon, while at the
top of ladder taking down shafting
at the Mankato Iron works to be
moved to the Manufacturing Co.'S
plant, the eighteen year old son of
Amos S. Chord met with a bad acct
dent. The ladder slipped and he fell
twelve feet, landing on the floor with
the shafting weighing % to so pounds,
across his stomach. He was taken to
the hospital, and DR.. Webster is
attending him. The young man is
badly injured internally, but just how
bad the next "A hours will de termine.

The trial of Emery Haycraft, Of
Lincoln township, on the charge of
assaulting Joseph Erickson. was set
for this forenoon. Mr. Haycraft ap-
peared in court with his witnesses,
but Erickson sent physicians certi-
ticate, saying that it would be dan
gerOus for him to leave his sick bed
for ten days. The state moved for a
continuance of the case, and the de-
PENDANT opposed this. The county
attorney then moved that the case
be dismissed, as there were no wit
nesSes present for the state. This
was ordered done by the court. A.
r. Pau appeared for Mr.. Haycraft,
What further action will be taken
will depend upon the outcome Of
ErickSOn's sickness, as the alleged as
sault seems to be more serious than
at first thought. 1t is stated that
Erickson was unconscious after the
severe threshing which he claims was
inflicted upon him by Haycraft with
out cause, and last week his physician
did not know whether he would live.
He is now recovering, however.
About a month ago the FREE
PRESS called attention to the made
quate service ON the Milwaukee road
between this city and Wells. We are
pleased to know that there is now
closed pouch mail service on the &C
cOmmOdatiOn trains. Postmaster
Mcconnell exchanges closed mail
pouches with each of the offices be-
tween Mankato and Wells by these
Grains. This has been much needed,
and the patrons of the road are glad
to know that such is now the case.
The only thing now left is for better
service to be secured, and all COM
plant will cease.
The greatest work upon American
scenery before the public today is the
