A "sack" was in sight in several
places yesterday. 1t was notorious in
the Third and Eighth wards, and not
kept very well under cover in some of
the others. IT the display Of coin mad
at the primaries yesterday is indicative,
and it is generally considered that way,
the voter with goods on the market ia
going to fare we'll this fall.
Around all the voting places good
order was maintained. No open rup-
lures Of a serious nature were reported
and not a single instance where any
body came to blows. By common con-
sent il seemed to be that the work,
though in earnest, was done with good
nature.
Summed all up, it looks like notable
victory for what is called the Lindiey

HOLDING up WOnEN.

Complaint came to this office today
that some unknown Scoundrel has
been, at intervals throughout the sum-
mer, lying in ambush between the
Franklin school and MaXfield& Cough
lans stone quarry, and when one or
two unprotected girls or women come
along to chase them. Some months
ago it is claimed that the police were
notified of the scoundre's doings, but
it seems that no heed has been paid
to it. Sundaynight as two young ladies
were returning home about ten o'clock
they were attacked by the ruffian, but
managed to elude his grasp and ran
into neighbor's house for protection,
nearly overcome with fright. A mar
ried lady about three weeks ago was
also attacked by the same wretch, but
by her screams she was released, and
the villain took to his heels. Some
five weeks since the same thing Oc-
Cured to another woman.
What are we coming to when respect
able women are held up in the early
evening on our public streets by some
fiend masquerading in mems gar
mentS?
Will the Mayor kindly interest
himself in this matter and direct his
policemen to take action? If tn
hound is caught no punishment known
to law is too severe to deal out to
him.
The young ladies were too badly
frightened last night to give any in
telligentdescription of their assailant,
further than that he was dressed in
dark clothes.

S p &c CIFICS
SUITS BEGUN.
Four Heavy Damage Suits Begun
Against the Brewery on Account
of the Sewerage Stencil.

Papers were placed in the hands of
Sheriff Glynn Moday,for service on the
defendants in an action begun by
Wilhelmina Frankson VS.. Louisa
Bierbauer and Albert g.. Bierbauer,
executors of the estate of the late
William Bierbauer. The action is one
for S., 900 damages on account of the
stencil arising from the Guenther
creek, due to sewage from the brew
cry. This suit covers the time from
October, 1889, to the death of Mr..
Bierbauer. Two of the PLAINTIFF s
children died of diphtheria in Sep
tember, 1892. She also brings suit
against the defendants individually
for 81 900 damages during the past
summer.
Similar actions are about to be
brought by Mrs. May Hidde. Both
plaintiffs own lots On the creek, and
the stencil renders their houses almost
uninhabitable, so they allege. Other
parties are talking of bringing suits.
w. N. Plymat is attorney for the
plaintiffs and says that similar cases
are on record where damages were
secured.

limited coinage can be safely entered
upon, he stands ready to accept it.
AS the true friend of silver, he stands
more faithful to it's cause than does
he who would force it upon the people
without first taking proper precau-
tions for it's proper reception.
Tie position he has taken is un-
assailable; the arguments he puts
forth unanSwerable, while his evident
sincerity carries conviction to the
heart of every man who is hunting
for the truth. When hc states that it
is the quality of our dollars rather
than their quantity which we should
first look after, he states truth
which lies at the basis of all gold
finance, and is the only stable founda-
tion upon which to build.

SOME two years ago dispatch was
sent from Philadelphia through the
news-gathering associations of the
Associated Press and the United
Press which it seems reflected up
Oh the honesty of one Tyn-
dale Palmer, by claiming that evil
dence had come to light showing that
said Palmer had defrauded his en-
ployers out of some 100000 by the
sale of the patents and rights to an
incandescent electric light to parties
in Brazil. This dispatch appeared in
the telegraph columns of papers
throughout the Northwest, and for
anything we know, throughout the
country. 1t was published in the tele-
graph columns of the FREE PRESS as
we'll. There was no chance, of course,
for finding out anything as to the
truth of the charges, but as it came
from reliable news agencies. it was
accepted in the same spirit that all
news-matter is, and published as the
same. A little less than year ago
the FREE PRESS received letter
from Mr.. Palmer, stating that an in
justice had been done him through
this publication, and submitting evil
dence showing that he had not been a
party to any fraud, nor had his en-
ployers been defrauded out of one
dollar through him, and asked for a
retraction, and the FREE PRESS cheer
fully acceded to his request and pub
lished the same. Whether this same
request was sent other papers at that
time we do not know. If so. it seems
that no attention was paid to it, for a
few days ago a suit for $50, 200 was
commenced against the st. Cloud
Times by Mr.. Palmer, and also one
against the ST. Paul Dispatch. Yester-
day the Pioneer Press of ST. Paul and
the Winona Republican published re-
fractions, and doubtless other papers
will follow in the same line. 1t is
safe to say that if Mr.. Palmer does
not get a dollar out of any of his
suits, he will get good many dollars
worth of free advertising, which will
be just as valuable. That Mr.. Palmer
recognizes the power of the press will
not be questioned by anyone.

A WORD FOR MRS. STEVENS.

EDITOR FREE PREss:-In Tuesday
evenings FREE PRESS a local item
appeared regarding the candidacy for
superintendent of schools, stating
that Mr.. Thompson, the Democratic
candidate had considered the matter
of withdrawing his name from the
ticket, because he thought there was
no show for him being elected, on ac-
count of the strength of the present
incumbent of that office.
Itmight not be out of place to sug-
gest that there is another candidate
for this important office of Superin-
tendent of schools besides the poll
tical candidates of the Republican and
Democratic tickets. Yes, there is an
other candidate, and decidedly act
i've one, too, in the person of grand
and noble woman, one who is matured
| in years and has the experience and
qualifications to fill the office equal,
| perhaps with any other individual in
Blue Earth county.
This is an Office which should by
right be left out of politics entirely,
| but SO long as it is not we must con-
slider, who are the teachers in this
county, and to what sex do they be-
long? Is it not well known fact that
they are mostly young women, and
who is the better qualified to oversee
their work in teaching our children,
young men of their own age who have
no common sympathy with their
arduOus duties and who have had but
| limited experience as teachers, or a
woman with years of experience who
has had the training of both young
and older pupils? This seems a very
easy question to answer, but we will
leave that to the intelligent voting
men and women of our county.
This lady of whom the writer is re-
ferring is Mrs. S. g. Stevens, one of
those vigorous and robust women of
which Blue Earth county is proud to
boast. AS all are aware, Mrs. Stevens
was elected to this office four years
ago and filled it with the best of satis-
faction to those most familiar with
fhe work done by her.
Although Mrs. Stevens has been in
dorsed by the PrOhibitionists and
Populists of the county and received
AZ votes in the Democratic convention
she is non-partisan candidate, and
if the ladies take the interest in our
school system which we believe they
do, they will take advantage of their
suffrage and go to- the polls and elect
this intelligent lady to the office of
County Superintendent of Schools.
At present there are eleven women
holding this office in the state of
Minnesota. The counties are Aitkin,
Cook, Houston, Itasca, Jackson, Lake,
Mile Laos, Mower, Norman, Otter
Tail and Wadena counties. Reports
from the State Board of Public In
struction shows that they give, in
every particular, as good satisfaction
as men holding similar positions.
Yes, kind reader, there is another
candidate who, if she does not have
the backing of party organs and a
score of office seekers who ''feel obliged
under the circumstances, you see, to
stand by the ticket" working for her
she will poll vote in November that
will cause you to think you heard
something drop" when in reality it
will only be the majority rolled up by
this friend of popular education.
A WOMAN VOTER.

THE STRONG POINT about
the cures by Hoods Sarsaparilla is
that they are permanent. They start from
the solid foundation Pure Blood.

There was fair-sized audience at
them. E.church Tuesday evening'to lis
ten to the lecture of Rev.gA. r. Tay-
lor, under the auspices of the Ladies'
Relief society. Mr.. Taylor spoke on
the 'Types of American humor," and
reviewed the different Humorists in
this country, quoting more or less
from their sayings. While the Amer
lean people as class do not take
things in the same sober -earnestness
in which an Englishman looks upon
the affairs of The day, yet he thought
there was need of more humor among
us. He believed the humorist had as
legitimate a place before the public
as any other writer, or the member of
any other profession. There are only
CLEANS of humor sprinkled through
our literature, and we need the book
of the humorist to liven us up.

next to hear that ST. Peter has put in

The ReUie,o is very much exercised
over the fact that the Good Thunder
Herald is supporting most of the Re-
publican county ticket, and intimates
very broadly that the paper has sold
itself. The Revie,U editor, belonging
to party that has been in the ''sell-
ing" business of late is perhaps quail
fed to judge, and if so he should be
little modest about charging others
with selling out" until the facts can
be ascertained. 1t looks to one disin-
terested in the Democratic family
row very much as though the Herald
refused to be included in the Demo
Pop. transfer, and is exercising the
right of individual thought and free
dom of action by supporting the best
men. The fact is there is no Demo-
cratic party in this county at presss
ent. 1t has been hyptonized by the
Pops.

ANOTHER LARGE YIELD.

Chas. Mericle, who lives two miles
east of the city, has just returned
from his farm in Medo, where he has
been threshing. He reports a phe-
nominal yield of.wheat on a fourteen
acre tract, upon which he sowed
twenty bushels of seed wheat. The
total yield from the field was 573
bushels, or one bushel less than
enough, to make Al bushels to the
acre. This is the third or fourth
yield that we have heard of in this
county where the average was over
forty bushels to the acre, but it is
the largest field upon which such an
average has been secured.

that the Prohibition county commit

that this was the case, but we are In

We were misinformed as to the noml-

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
alive; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in Doc and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,
and being well informed, you will not
accept any substitute if offered.

TOOUST HILL.

Washington, D. c., April 49,
There is a proposition on foot
among Democratic Senators to
hold a caucus and adopt a resolu
tion reading Senator Hill out of
the party. The position taken by
Mr.. Hill on the tariff bill is very
Offensive 70 the advocates Of that
measure aud the administration.
1t is held by most tariff reformers
that by his speech Mr.. Hill placed
himself outside OF the party. The
assumption from this speech is that
he VIII not vote for the tariff bill
and the purpose is, as soon as it lie
settled that be viii not vote for the
measure, to hold a cancus and de-
clare that his position is undemo-
cratic and that he cannot be recog-
nized as Democrat in the orgsni-
zatlou of the Senate nor permitted
TO pa. ticipate in the party caucuses.
There are q number of Senators
who wanted the caucus held imme
diately after the delivery Of his
speech, but they yielded to the ad
vice of others who bling equally
determined that such action shall
be taken, insist that it would not
be held until after his position il
definitely determined.

DON'T PUT IT OFF.

The necessity of a spring medl
cine is universally admitted. This
is the best time of year in which to
purify the blood, to restore the lost
appetite, and to build up the entire
system, as the body is now peculiar
ly susceptible to benefit from medi-
cine. The great popularity attain
ed by Hoods Sarsaparilla, owing
to its real merit and it's remarka-
BILE success, has established it as the
very best medicine to take in the
spring. 1t cures scrofula, salt
rheum, and all humOrs, biliousness
dyspepsia, headache, kidney and
liver complaints, catarrh, and all al
fections caused or promoted low by
state of the system or impure blood.
Don't put it off, but take Hoods,
