A CARD OF THANKS.

To the Age Herald:
 In response 10 the appeal of the United Charities, published a week ago, many generous donations have been received al headquarters of the United Charities.
 About Sl50 have been received in money and about S30 in provisions.
 This affords relief in this time of distress and enables the United Charities to con- tinue their work of relieving the wants of the poor. Many citizens responded to the appeal with much provision and clothing !, and some of the business houses also re- sponded.
 Our thanks are due to J. R. Copeland, |, Birmingham Grain company, Pollock Stephens institute, Ben NJ. Jacobs & Bros. f, 5. Rogan & Co.,, office force of Central freight office, Georgia Pacific railroad shops, per D. J. Ovens; also to St. Paul s Methodist Episcopal church, Smithfeid; {; Woman's Benevolent society of the First Baptist church, Young Men's Christian association and to many private citizens whose names we are not permitted to use; also to the News for fund of more than s50 raised for our relief.
 The different relief committees will now resume the worB of canvassing for regu- lar monthly or yearly contribution. We hope our citizsns will give literally to the ladies who are doing the work.
 We cannot express our gratitude to the people of Birmin gh ham for their liberality in the past only by trusting to them for the future, and we sincerely hope and ex- pect to make the work of the association a blessing both to the poor and 10 tte city.

The play is done, the curtain drops, Slow falling to the prompter's bell; moment yet the actress stops and looks
 around to say farewell.
 It is an irksome word and task, And when she's laughed and said her say She shows as she removes her mask q face
 that's anything but gay.
 Acting is not all gaiety, lights and ap- plause.
 There is deal of orudgery, vexation and headache that the people in the front of the house little imagine.
 Mary Anderson used to advise young stage-struck girls to keep off the stage. The feverish excitement, the late hours, the drudgery of rehearsals, the unnatural. stim- ulus from new audiences, rivalry aust ap. plause, make the life full of periIs to health of mind ard body. The careless theater- going public have no notion of the strain on the nerves that Is inseparable from a dranatic career.
 But members of .'the profession" know what it is, and they have, as a body, learned how best to keep their nervous systems strong and capable of doing the hard work demanded of them. That is why Paine's celery compound IS so popular on the stage.
 Helen Barry, the well-kuown actress, writes to physician friend, from Tea Box cottage, Bellfort,
 ''It is with great pleasure 1 write to tell you that find Paine's celery compound q splendid tonic. should like you to pro- cure me a few more botties.o
Birmingham age-herald., 1895-02-23

Della Fox, wiec ''run down' from over work by the advice of the wife of a United States senator in Washington, tried Paine's celery compound. She says
 My spirits picked up and at the end of two weeks the same old exuberant health with which nature blessed me had re- turned.
 ''I ate and slept as 1 had not done since was child, and have never known since then an hours inconvenience from nervous prostration.
 ''The medicine to which 1 owo so much is Paine's celery compound, and have rec commended it to all of my stage acquaint- ances who have overtaxed their brains by too close attention to study and all have ey- perien ced the same happy results as my self.'' ~ss-a
 Marie Tempest also and host more of tue most eminent artists who appear before the public have recently testified to tho wonderful reinvigorating power of Paine's celery compound. Their testimony Is note- wortby because no class of women work harder or are under greater nervous strain. Women in every walk of life have reason to be grateful to Professor Phelps of Dart. mouth, who discovered Paine's celery con- pound. He understood the peculiar weak ness of the sex. He knew that the back ache, lassitude, headache, seeplessness and loss of appetite all mean that the sup ply of nervous force is low and inadequate to the demands upon it. The experience of thousands has taught the women of the country that only Paine's celery compound will give health to the nerves and, through them, to the entire body.

MAPLETON ITEMS.

From the Enterprise.1
Mrs. John Fields, of St. Clair, had
the misfortune to fall from a horse
she had been riding and broke her leg.
Her little child ran out to meet her
and frighted the horse with the above
result. DR.. Smith was called and
found it quite a bad break, the bone
protruding through the skin, but he
soon made it right and she is getting
along as well as could be expected.
Seven small children will miss a
mothers care for few weeks.
DR.. Bishop has increased his hold
ings of farm property the past week
by purchasing the John Johnston, Sr.
farm of 260 acres. The price paid was
in the neighborhood of ten thousand
dollars. 1t is one of the best farms
in the county and the doctor is to be
congratulated in securing it.
Congressman McCleary drove out to
Medo last Wednesday morning to
make personal investigation of the
claims for postotfice at the county
line creamery.

CHARGED WITH PERJURY.
Allyn has His Inning, and Cynthia
Richie is in Jail.

Geo. w. Allyn is now enjoying his in
ming in the business of prosecuting
criminally, and on a warrant sworn
out by him, Cynthia Richie was ar
rested Thursday by Chief Yates at
the place in the north part of the city
where she has been staying, on the
charge of perjury. She was taken to
jail, and this morning was brought
before Judge Shissler. Byron Hughes
appeared as her attorney, while G. L..
Benedict appeared for the state.
Pau & Young have been engaged
by Mr.. Allyn to assist Mr.. Bene-
dict in prosecuting the case.
The examination was set for next
Thursday, and being unable to furn-
ish $500 bail the prisoner was remand
ed back to Jail. The charge is based
on some of the evidence given by the
girl on the witness stand.
The penalty for perjury is not less
than two nor more than five years in
the state penitentiary.

THREE ARRESTS.
Suspected Medal Thieves are Round
ed Up,

Sheriff Bowen returned from Mar
shall late Thursday afternoon, with
Archie Northrup in custody. North
rup made confession while on the way
home and implicated Frank Dollive1
and Oliver Drake, and Sheriff Bowen
at once drove to Madison Lake, where
he arrested the two parties. The
three are in the county jail, and will
have their preliminary hearing at 6
o'clock Monday morning. They are
charged with grand larceny in the
second degree, in stealing seven
medals, the property of M. G. Ewing,
from the cottage of L. Paterson, on
Point Pleasant. The value of the
medals is placed at 5000. Northrup
was arrested on a warrant swore out
by Mr.. Ewing, and the two on war
rant sworn out by Sheriff Bowen.
County Attorney Benedict states
that the three boys, who were sixteen
to eighteen years old, have all prac-
tically admitted the stealing.
Young Northrup is from a good
family. His home is near Tracy, and
he came down last fall to visit his
uncle, VIM. Durrin. Drake, the
youngest of the boys, is the one least
implicated in the affair, so Sheriff
Bowen states. 1t appears that the
three boys were out hunting one day
and coming to the cottage decided to
break into it. Dolliver opened the
window by breaking pane of glass
and christening the catch. Besides the
medals, a number of other articles
were taken. Sheriff Bowen deserves
much credit for the rapid and effect
i've work which he did in this case.
The boys do not appear to take the
matter greatly to heart.
Mr. and Mrs. Dolliver and Mr.. Drake
visited their sons today. None of the
parents uphold their children in their
action. The boys admit that they are
the ones who have broken into other
cottages on the Point, and who stole
a clock from j. (. Meaghers cottage
last fall, at about the same time. The
parents feel very bad over the matter.

THE CENSUS.

The enumeration in this city is
progressing satisfactorily, and will be
completed within two weeks. Mr..
Wakefield, of the First ward, sent in
his final report early in the week.
Mr. Tompkins has concluded his work
in the Third ward, and the other
enumerators are on the last half of
their work, save A. B. Smith, in the
Fifth ward, who has just started in
and will give the work his undivided
attention until it is completed. Mr..
Smith will make thorough canvass
of the ward He would have begun
sooner, but other matters took up his
time.
Some names have been handed to
the Board Of Trade committee, who
have referred them to the enumera-
tors. Unless more general interest is
taken, it seems very questionable
whether Mankato will report 10000
names.
1t is reported that..the enumeration of
North Mankato has found 700 names
there.

SHOT THE PONY.
Ross Browns Cannon is Dangerous
Weapon.

Thursday afternoon little Ross
Brown, son of Conductor G. A. Brown,
who lives in the north part of the city,
loaded up his toy cannon, made of
small gas pipe, with heavy charge.
The bullet, about the size of pea,
was driven through half inch board
and through some manure and then
struck Shetland pony on one cheek,
passing through the side of it's head
and coming out of one nostril. The
bullet passed through the bone, and as
DR.. Donaldson, who was summoned,
could not find it by probing, he con-
cluded that it had passed out. The
pony was not dangerously hurt. 1t
was one that Mr.. Brown had owned,
but which had been purchased by a
travelling man day or two ago, and
was to have been taken away Monday.
1t is fortunate that the bullet did
not strike any human being, and this
should be a lesson to Ross and all
other boys who may be tempted to
make dangerous weapons out of toys.

SUIT STARTED.
Assignee Schwartz Begins Action to
Recover $4,000.

Papers were served upon the
National Citizens bank Friday morn
ing in an action commenced against
it by Geo. Schwartz, assignee of the
Cassidy Packing Co. The suit is one
to recover $4,000, which is the
amount of cured meat covered by the
bill Of sale given by Mr.. Cassidy
to the bank in December last to secure
a note, and the $1,000 which the COM
pany has paid the bank on the note
from time to time. W. n. Plymat, at
torney for the assignee, prepared the
papers. The suit is brought upon the
ground that the money was paid within
ninety days of the assignment; and
that the bank accepted it knowing
that the company was insolvent.
Lorin Cray, who is attorney for the
bank, states that the suit is to re-
cover the same goods tWice-those
covered by the original bill of sale,
and the money that was paid on the
bill of sale. He stated that the pay
ments alleged in the complaint were
those made in the ordinary course of
business, Ito meet overdrafts, and does
not believe that they properly fall
under the provions of the involvency
law.
Mr.. Plymat has prepared an answer
n w nv
the National Citizens bank to recover
the balance of $4,000 due on the note
for SO, 500 given by Mr. Johnson and
endorsed by Mr.. Cassidy. The answer
admits the charges in the complaint
so far as they apply to Mr.. Cassidy,
but makes defense for Mr.. johnson.
1t alleges that Mr.. Cassidy was in
solvent in December last, when the
note was accepted by the bank,
that the bank was in position to
have known this, that the note was
taken in payment Of another note
against Mr.. Cassidy which was over
due, and that Mr.. Johnson signed the
note on the assurance of the bank
that Mr.. Cassidy was solvent. Mr..
Cassidy endorsed the note and gave
the bill of sale covering a large
amount of cured meats.
There is some talk of bringing an
action to remove the assignee, and if
the bank decides to do this it will
probably be done next week. What
is done will depend upon the wishes
of the larger creditors.

A SYNOPSIS OF ITS PROVISIONS
GIVEN.
1t has not yet been read to the Coun=
Gil, but may come up tonight. -
What the Siemens s HaIske Eiec-
trio Co. wants and what it will do.

! The ordinance accompanying the
petition Of the Siemens & Halske
Electric Co. was not read at the cOun-
Gil meeting last Saturday night, but
may come up tonight. 1t is an i'm
portant document, and we give our
readers its substance, in advance of
its presentation to the council The
ordinance is in form Of a resolution,
! Willis n. Stewart being the party of
the first part. 1t provides that the
city shall grant a franchise and the
right to erect an electrical and heat
ing plant in Mankato, and to lay and
place mains, pipes, conductors, wires,
poles and all appurtenances necessary
in the streets, alleys, public places
and grounds of said city, and for the
purpose of supplying and selling cleo
trio current for light, heat or power
and hot water and steam heat to said
| city and the inhabitants thereof The
duration Of the franchise is to be.
twenty years. The plant is to be
erected and completed ready to COM
mence operations and furnish heat,
light and power by Nov. 1St, 1896,
failing in which the franchise shall
become invalid. The city of MankatO
shall have the right to purchase the
plant at any time, at valuation to be
judicially determined.
The price to be charged for city
lighting, should the city desire to.
make contract, shall be 800 per
annum for each one lamp of 1000
nominal candle power, burning all
night every night in the year; SO for
POO candle power arc lights; and for
each incandescent light in public
buildings rate not to exceed one
half cent per hour for sixteen candle
lamps, amount Of consumption to be
determined by meter. If the divi-
dends earned by the plant should,
during any period of twelve months
amount to or equal 10 per cent. on the
total cost Of the plant, after deduct
ing operating expenses, interest on
bonds, sinking fund and fair allow
ance for depreciation and repairs, the
city shall be allowed a reduction in
the price of lighting of 81 per arc
lamp per annum for each lamp used,
but when the price of each arc lamp
shall reach the sum of S78 and S5S re-
spectively, no further reduction shall
be made. The books of the company
shall be subject to an annual inspec-
tiOn by committee Of the council,
and in case of dispute as to the
amount of charges for public lighting,
under this section, the same shall be
decided by judicial arbitration.
At the council meeting Saturday
night the ordinance was unfavorably
reported, and the matter will I'M
doubtedly be dropped.

INCORPORATION TALK.
North Mankato Wants to- Put on Viii
laQe Airs.

Some of the people of North Man
kato are talking of Incorporating, hav-
ing grown tired of their township
status. One gentleman stated to a
FREE PRESS reporter today that the
principal reason for this is on the
score OF good order. Having no police
regulations there, people from this
city go over there and carouse and
have loose rein. The people are
tired of this, and are anxious for a
change.
Another prominent resident said
that it is only a matter of few years
when the suburb will ask to be annex
ed to Mankato. cat present." said
he, "our taxes are very light and for
this reason our people have been con-
tented to live without any of the pub
lie improvements that exist across the
river. But when we incorporate,
taxes will be higher, and if we try to
to put in any mprovements the taxes
will be higher than in Mankato. If
we don't improve, we can only adj
vance in size to certain point. The
inevitable result will be that our peo-
pie will want to be annexed to Man
kato, in order that the city may bear
the burden of our Improvements.
While there is now some talk of in
cooperating, l doubt whether there
will be any definite move to that end
for two or three years to come"

MACCABEEAN KNIGHTS.
A Hall Secured and Bylaws
Adopted.

The newly organized tent of the or
der of Knights of Maccabees met Fri
day and transacted much important
business. The committee on hall re-
ported in favor of renting the hall
over the Mankato National bank from
Schiller lodge No. 80, 1. o. o. F., and
this report was adopted, and the tent
will be pitched there for at least a
year to come, that being the length of
time covered by the lease.
The committee on bylaws made a
report, which was adopted. 1t fixes
the meetings for the second and
fourth Friday nights of each month.
The charter cannot be secured I'M
til there are twenty-five charter mem
bers, but as only one is now lacking,
this fact will not long stand in the
way. Three new members were taken
in last night, and there are others
ready to go in. The number of the
tent cannot be ascertained until the
charter is secured, but the name of
the organization is Mankato tent No.
The tent starts out with every pros
pect of success.

LUTHERAN CONFERENCE.
A Big Gathering of Leaders at
Mapleton.

The Minnesota Synod of the
Lutheran church is holding it's an
nual conference at Mapleton. About
fifty leading clergymen and professors
are present, from Minnesota, Iowa,
Wisconsin and the Dakotas.
The principal business of the ses-
sion will be the discussion of means
whereby the interests of the church
in the west may be advanced as well
as providing means for the support of
the theological seminary at St. Paul
and extending the scope Of work.
Probably the greatest religious dis
cussion will be that of the Lutheran
doctrine of Sanctitication.
1t is expected that the conference
will continue until next Wednesday.
