DIED.

Miss Hattie M. Freemire died at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. G. S. Terry
Saturday evening, July 18th, 1894,
after short illness of about week.
She had come to Mankato short time
before to visit friends, and was taken
i'll shortly after her arrival. Although
away from home, she received every
attention that loving friends could
administer, but her illness was not
thought serious until a few hours be-
fore her death. Miss Freemire was a
former student of the Normal, and
won many friends by her estimable
character and kind and affectionate
disposition. She was member of
the M. e. church of this city. The
remains were sent to her home at
Heron Lake for interment. Her
friends in Mankato extend heartfelt
sympathy to the bereaved family.

OBITUARY..

Carrie G. Cook died at Oconto, Wis
cOnsin, May 26th, 1894, in her 33rd
year. She was born in the town of
Fountain Prairie, Columbia county,
Wis, in the year 1861, October 22nd.
She returned from Salt Lake, Utah,
where she had spent nearly two years
hoping to improve her health, but the
dreaded disease, consumption, an in
herited tendency on the maternal side
of the family, chung close to her, and
although she bore all with great pa
thence, she soon failed rapidly after
her return from Salt Lake City. All
that care, attention and means could
do was done to smooth her last days.
She was resigned, having made pro-
fession of religion and united with the
Episcopal church while at Salt Lake,
and brought a letter from the church
on her return. Her end was peaceful,
and she rests from all her suffering.
She was buried at Oconto, Wisconsin

SUDDEN DEATH OF MRS. BOHAN.

The community was shocked yester-
day by the report that Mrs. Thomas
Bohan was dead, having passed away
in ST. Paul after having had an opera
tion performed.
Although her most intimate friends
were not aware of the fact, she has
been suffering for nearly two years
past with fibro-cystic tumors. She
had requested her physician, DR.. War
ner, not to mention the fact to any
one, and had often consulted him, but
delayed accepting his advice to submit
to an operation until it appeared that
she could have survived but three or
four months if she did not. After
consulting various physicians, at Chi
cagO and Madison, Wis, she finally
concluded to have an operation per-
formed by DR.. Chas. A. Wheaton, of
ST. Paul, and went there last Tuesday
for the purpose. The operation was
performed Friday, DR.. Warner being
present, and it proved to be very
serious operation, producing severe
shock from which Mrs. BOhan never
rallied. She died at 4:3O p. m. Satur-
day, and the remains were brought to
this city on the lilo p. m. train last
night, over the Omaha road, and were
taken to ST. Johns Catholic church,
where funeral services were held at
1000 o'clock this forenoon. The re-
mains were shipped to Madison, Wis,
on this afternoons train, on the Chi
cago & Northwestern road, for burial,
accompanied by brother and sister
of the deceased, Mr. Haligan, of St.
Paul, and Miss Haligan, of Madison.
Mrs. Bohan was about forty years of
age, and leaves no children. Her hus-
band is an invalid, having been badly
paralyzed for several years. She came
to this city from Madison, Wis, and
for fifteen years has conducted dress
making business, for the past ten
years over Geo. e. Brett'S store. She
was lady of more than ordinary
prominence in the community, and
was thorough business woman. Her
dressmaking parlors were considered
one of the best in the state, and
ladies from surrounding cities patron
lied them, on account of Mrs. Bohan IS
well known excellent taste and her
ability to turn out satisfactory work.
She had large circle of warm friends,
and was highly respected by all who
knew her, and all regret her untimely
and sudden death, which robs the
community of valuable member.

The Line of Beauty.

Art say that the curved line is the
line of beauty, and artists have from
time immemorial endeavored to bring
their execution of the curved line to
such state of perfection as to be a tri-
umph of art, blended with nature.
The term, however, is not as arbitrary
as would appear; nor is it claimed
solely by art. The Saint Paul &
Duluth Railroad is line of beauty
although straight line because it
runs through the most beautifully
picturesque section of the North west;
section famed for it's bass lakes, it's
hunting grounds and it's quiet sum-
mer resorts as we'll as it's mineral and
agricultural resources. The Duluth
Short Line is the title bestowed upon
it, because it is the short line between
ST. Paul, Minneapolis, Duluth, West
Superior, Saltwater, Taylor's Falls,
and other points, and the famous
Rainy Lake gold-fields. which have ex-
cited so much interest of late. Its
fine equipment and fast trains have
made it popular route for all classes
of travel. Circulars, maps, etc., may
be obtained of ticket agents, or will
be cheerfully furnished upon appli.
cation to w. A. Russell, General
Passenger Agent, St. Paul, MINI.

A TEST CASE.

A warrant was sworn out yesterday
by Chief Yates for the arrest of Ben
Ash on the charge of permitting and
suffering a dog owned and kept by
him to 60 and be at large in the city
on July 23d, not being duly licensed.
The warrant was issued under the
provisions of,ordinance 10, and will be
served in day or two. This is to be
a test case, and was made up for the
purpose. Mr.. Ash will be de-
Tended by Attorney Benedict,
and City Attorney Young will appear
for the city. Mr.. Benedict does not
believe that the ordinance will hold
water, while Mr.. Young thinks that
it will, and bases his belief on a SUI
preme court decision in a Faribault
case, where there is a somewhat
similar ordinance.
The ordinance provides that where
the owner OF a dog neglects to have
it licensed and permits it to run at
large, he is liable to fine or imprison-
ment on conviction. Mr.. Benedict
holds that a man cannot be fined for
maintaining property, under the
ordinance. The trial will be
an interesting one, as the out
come will decide whether the ordin-
nance will be enforced or not.

SUNDAY NIGHTS FIRE.

A. e. Moritz, of Winona, who is Sec
rotary and manager of the Winona
Mill Co. and the Winona & Dakota
Grain Co., which operated the G. & n.
w. elevator which burned Sunday
night, arrived in the city this fore
noon and was interviewed at The
Saulpaugh by FREE PRESS reporter.
Mr.. Moritz came today by appoint
ment, TO meet the insurance adjust
ors, who arrived on the noon train
over the Omaha road. He stated that
it would be impossible to say whether
the elevator would be rebuilt, until
after the insurance had been adjusted.
The wheat that was in the elevator
was sold three months ago for delivery
at Milwaukee, and in another week it
would have all been shipped. The
Winona company owned the machin-
cry, which cost it 81, 500, and was in
sured. The company also built the
tall brick chimney. The building was
fully insured, as was also the wheat.
Mr.. MoritZ stated that the elevator
has been doing good business at
cleaning grain.
Mr.. MOritZ stated that the wheat
will have to be removed at once. He
considers that large part of it can
be used for making low grade flour, as
it is not much damaged. The rest can
be taken to brewery. A force of men
was set at work this afternoon loading
the wheat.

The council will be called on Sat-

lar street question again. Two petit
tions will be presented asking that
the street be given a uniform width
from Front street. At present there
is triangle at Front street owned by
M. q. Willard and extending half way
across the street. One petition asks
that the width of the street be re-
duced from so to &c feet by taking of
IA feet on the south side and exchang-
ing it for the triangle. The other
asks that the width of the street be
reduced to sixty feet and that ten feet
be given to the property owners on
each side, they to settle among them
selves for the cost of the triangle and
present it to the city. Engineer
Haynes states that 66-foot street
would be wide enough and would join
on to the continuation of the street
without leaving jog in the highway.
