Wait for the best. The FREE
PRESS has it, in the shape of the most
beautiful and exquisite views of Amer
lean scenery. These portfolios are
without exception the finest Of the
kind that have ever been presented to
the general public. They are not
views put into the portfolios in hap
hazard manner. first scene from one
part of the country and then one from
another, as is the style OF many such
portfolios, but a systematic plan is
followed out from beginning to end.
The first views given are Of Colorado
scenery. Then follows views of that
section of the country, crossing over
into California, up the coast through
Oregon to Yellowstone Park, following
across to the Black Hills, to the Lake
Superior country. Down through Wis
cOnsin, taking in the beauty of the
Dalles, thence a pictorial tour through
to the east, and following the mount
ainOuS scenery Of the eastern coast
down into the sunny south and cOnclud-
ing with trip to the Mammoth Cave.
All wish to know something about the
beauties Of their own country. Here
is chance such as was never before
presented to secure for small amount
of money perfect stOrehOuSe OF
knowledge of our own country. Well
it is named "GlimpseS of America"
for the veil is lifted and you are given
a glimpse Of our own land. These
portfolios will follow Immediately af-
ter the worlds fair views which are
now being issued. Watch for the an
nouncement which will soon appear.
Express matter now comes to
Mankato from New York in forty-five
hours, which is faster time than ever
before attempted. The American EX-
press Co. has made arrangements in
order to better serve it's shippers at
points west of the Mississippi river,
for special facilities on the limited
fast train leaving New York at 600 p.
IN. each day, to be used exclusively
for business destined to the territory
referred to. This train arrives in
Chicago at 900 p. m. IN time to make
connection with the night trains north
and west, reaching this city at 800 p.
m. This is an addition to the regular
exclusive fast train leaving New York
at 500 p. M. daily. The American is
a very enterpriSing company and its
latest move will be appreciated by the
public.
The suit of Sarah j. James VS..
J. Jones is on trial before
Judge Severance Tuesday. 1t is an
action to secure possession of farm in
JudSOn, which was decided to Mrs.
James by her father, but which her
brother, the defendant, claims he has
a verbal lease of during the life of
their parents. He refuses to give up
possession. There are large number
of witnesses. Pau & Young and E.
p. Freeman appear for the plaintiff,
and LOrin Cray and Thos Hughes for
the defendant.
Joseph Mosberg is at work upon
two statues, one representing st. Pc
ter and the other st. Paul. They are
to be seven and half feet high, and
will stand on pedeStalS eighteen inch
es high. Mr.. Mosberg has the con-
tract for furnishing these two statues
for the St. Peter and Paul's church,
and one is to be placed on each side of
the entrance to the church. The
statues are to be delivered on June
29th. st. Peter and Paul's Day. Mr..
Mosberg never fails to do a good job.
Some time ago we called attention
to the unsatisfactory train service
and mail service between this city and
Wells. The complaint was forwarded
to the general superintendent by
Agent Moore, and he replies that no
improvement in the train service is
possible at the present time, but that
the question of better mail facilities
will be taken to the POstof1ice Depart
ment at Washington. 1t is probable
that the company will give improved
service as soon as it is able to.
Rev. [. Bergstrom has accepted
an agency for the New York Life and
will visit Southern Minnesota points.
