AN ASSIGNMENT.

0. H. Hanson, proprietor of the
second hand store on S. Front street,
made voluntary assignment for the
benefit of his creditors Wednesday
to Louis A. Under. This action was
precipitated by the fact that judg-
ment became due today. The assets
are estimated at 81, 800 to $1,000, of
which $1,000 to $1,000 is new and
second hand furniture and other goods
in stock. The remainder consists of
book accounts, and of these Mr.. Han
son considers 5000 to 800 to be good,
but owing to the hard times he was I'M
able to collect anything.
The liabilities are estimated at
about $1,000. The heaviest creditor
is Geo. t. Barr, to whom Mr.. Hanson
owes $500 Torrent. Volk & Co., the
ST. Peter furniture manufacturers,
have claim nearly as large, and the
First National bank has claim of $75.
Hughes Bros. are attorneys for the
assignee. The cause assigned for the
failure is lack of business, owing to
the hard times, and poor collections
Mr.. Hanson has been in the business
for some time, and has many friends
who regret that he was obliged to
take the step that he has.

RATES HIGH ENOUGH.
EDITOR FREE PRESS:

/
L expect most or all the threshers in
this and other communities have re-
ceived circulars of the Northwestern
Threshers' Association, purporting to
| be in the interest of the threshers and
also of the manufacturers of thresh-
ing machinery, to aid the threshers to
get uniform and higher price per
bushel. We are getting two cents for
oats and barley and three cents for
wheat, rye, buckwheat, and seven
cents for flax now. The association
promises that we can charge one or
two cents per bushel more, which
would help the manufacturer to get
more bankable paper, and also more
cash for their machines. Now what
would be the effect on the threShers
and also on the farmers? In the first
place the farmer would have to pay
from one to two cents more to have
his threshing done, which he would
object to; and, second, the thresherS
WOuIu lCCl UilO ClCCU NY UllC
not paying the price, and joining their
capital and buying new outfit,
whereby the threshers would lose
that amount of threshing which the
farmers would do themselves. This
would be an actual benefit to the
manufacturer, as wherein the threSher
owned one machine the farmers
would buy two or may be three ma
chimes. Now | ask the thresherS to
examine into the truthfulnesS of this.
In the first place the membership fee
is $40. Now | ask to what use is this
to be put? They say to fight those
threshers that do not belong to the
association, or rather those that are
cutting prices and not paying for their
machines, helping the manufacturer
of course and not the threSher. Now
those thresherS who are cutting prices
are not hurting the honest threSherS,
because they will thresh one or two
years and then no farmer wants them.
Now the manufacturer wants these
men to be run out for the benefit of
themselves, because these are the men
that do not and cannot pay for their
machines, because they thresh too
cheaply, and also threSh here small
job and there a small job at half price,
which hardly pays for their help; or
else they buy second-handed ma
chine which good thresher does not
want, wherein if they could not get the
rig of some honest thresher they would
have to buy new machine Of the
manufacturer which would be another
help to the latter Now all ask is for
the farmers to protest, as then the
threSherS will see to their and your in
terest also. l wish that somebody
who is better versed in these matters
would suggest something to enlighten
the farmer and thresher.

Frank Lewis, state agent Of the
Minnesota State Public School, at
Owatonna, was pleasant caller at
our Office today. He has been visiting
the children located in this county,
since Monday, and went into Waseca
county this afternoon. He states
that while there are only seventeen
children given homes in this county,
there are hundred each in WaSeca
and Faribault counties. Owing to the
hard times, children have sbeen COM
ing into the school much faster since
last fall than ever before, and there
are now $50 that are awaiting for
homes. These include many very nice
children, and range in age from two
to sixteen years. Since the school
was started seven years ago, 1000
children have been received, and
homes found for nearly all of them.
Anyone wishing one of these children
should write to the institution.

IKE Baxter's wife made her way to
the Percy mansion to find everything in
confusion. Every neighbor had fed,
and such friends az remained were ex-
aggerating the results Of Jackson's de-
feat and retreat. Reports were brought
in by this II and that one that Jack
son himself intended to burn the town
and leave only desolation behind him
as he fell back. As a consequence,
though brave enough during the early
part Of the day, night came to find Ma.
rian and her mother full Of alarm. This
was added to by Mrs. Baxter's appear
ance. Her erranG appeared to be to give
information Of the servants who had
fled in terror, and in this way she
gained admission to the presence Of the
ladies, though as she left the kitchen
Uncle Ben shook his head and muttered
to himself:

several Of NE guards had been killed
or captured at Kernstown, but had no
reliable information. Mrs. Baxter gave
the number and their names. The last
name on her list was that Of Royal Ken

il was believed by all the surviving
guards that Kenton was to be held re.

Every report which Kenton received as
he neared the front went to assure him
Of the fact. He was on foot, lodging
from forest to forest and from field to
field and ~betrayinS himself only to u
few whom he knew could be trusted.
After the first day ont no became salts

provided with a pass to take him
through all Confederate lines, but
though he hung to Kenton's trail he
did not betray his presence except by
accident. Everywhere along Banks
from, wero evidences that a forward
move was on the taps, and before Ken
tons work was finished he had secured
a pretty fair estimate OF the Federal
strength. Banks knew That Confederate
scouts and spies would be seeking in
formation, aud he was guarding against
them az much as possible by covering
his front with scouting parties Of cav

day of his scouting along the front Ken
