SECOND QUARTER.
The Triump!ial Entry.
INTRODUCTION.
MARK IL: Ill.

The entry of our Lord has no lesser
purpose than this, to reveal himself as king
in the spiritual kingdom of God.-Once
in his life he grants to his own publicly to
proclaim what lies so deeply at their heart;
and he fulfls Intentionally a prophecy
which at his time was unanimously inter
preted of the Messiah. If he has previ-
ously considered the declaration of his
dignity as dangerous, he now counts silence
as inconceivable. 1t was hereafter not
possible to say that he never declared in a
wholly unequivocal manner that he is King
in the full force of the word.-But his
kingdom is not of this world. Can he
show it more evidently? His attire, the
beast he sits on, his train, his whole de-
meanor proclaimit. No wonder that after
wards Herod, no more than Plate, founded
on this entry any imputation whatever.
The Roman garrison may remain compos-
edly in the tower of Antonio, when this
peaceful festal throng enters in at the gates
of Jerusalem. The deepest significance of
this act of our Lord will be understood
only when it is brought into direct connec-
ton with the history of his passion. Vol
unfairly does the lamb approach the muir
derers, now the time of slaughter has ar
rived. While it prepared the way for
Jesus death and Jerusalem's destruction,
it has at the same time prepared the way
for the reconciliation of the whole world,
and for the bringing in of the Gentles-
Langs-One incident of ancient his
tory has passed into a proverb so COM
pletely that many persons use it, quite I'M
conscious of any personal reference. Plu-
tarch tells us that Julius Caesar once, upon
the margin of rivulet called the Rubicon,
paused, and there decided to declare war,
and so defy the world. This was bound
airy between division of Cisalpine Gaul
and the empire of Italy; if he should
march his troops across it, that would be
equivalent to commencement of open
hostilities, and would cast the whole nation
into conflict. For moment only did the
ambitious despot hesitate. He shouted
"The die is casti" So he plunged into
the water, and the war came on. And
now with Jesus the hour has arrived when
the crisis must be precipitated without any
hesitation. For cnce Jesus decides to be-
come conspicuous. He ostentatiously
puts himself forward to dare the authori-
ties leagued against him. The old figure
helps us here. He crosses the Rubicon,
and brings on the war.-Rev. c. S. Rob-
tnS0H, DID.

O. V7-ro. A notable thing in this story &
the testimony it gives to the power of Jesus to
awaken enthusiasm. The sight of his person awoke
general acclaim. A like enthusiasm prevails to-
day among the believing followers Of Jesus. His
personal power is chief factor in the progress Of
right.
81 Vim. Jesus, having resisted alike his disci-
pies and the popuace in their desire and purpose to
make him visible king, at length knew it best to
resist longer. He gave himself into their hands
for one day. 1t was then proved that, for such
King, the whole world had real welcome to offer.
The day of triumph a disappointment to the
disciples, and day of distress to Jesus. 1t was,
however, 1.-The crossing of the Rubicon." 1t made
the judgment-hall and the cross inevitable There
by great moral ends were promoted. The cross
is still to those who judge after external standards
"a stumbngblock = to those who see their ideal
fulfilled in decorous and polished selhshness it is
"fooshness." But in the actual moral progress OF
the world the cross has proved itself wondrous ex-
hibition of both the wisdom and power of God.

A LITERARY ORDER OF MERIT.

Queen Victoria, ii is said, is thinking
of carrying into elect ID plan which orig
mated with Albert the I oop,' many
years ago. namely. that of foundil G an
order Of literary merit. France honors
it's representative literary men not only
by election 10 The Academy OF the I'm
mortals but also confers upon them in
some instances orders of the Legion of
Honor. Certainly those who i'll Words
worths phrase give us "nobler loves,
and nobler cares" aid make us heirs
"Of Truth and pure delight by heavenl, lays"
are deserving of the highest recognition
and honor. What order of merit known
in Englano's roll of chivalry would have
been too great for Shakespeare. Milton,
Wordsworth or Tennyson? Or even in
these later days what is England's Order
Of the Bath or the Garter compared to
the love and honor awarded to the singer
who is able 10 touch the chords Of life to
miracle of creation in showing us the
beauty of the world of nature or Of man?
A singer, such as Mr.. William Watson,
for instance, j. his poem The First Sky
lark Of Spring" gives the world more
noble pleasure and rapture than did
hundreds of knights whose good swords
are now rust. Stanzas such as these,
however, in themselves confer distinc-
tion higher than any order the Queen of
England can create.
Thy spirit knows nor bounds nor bars;
On thee no shreas OF thralaom hang;
Not more enlarg, d, the morning stars
Their great Te Deum sang
Somewhat as thou. man once could sing,
In pOrches of the lucent morn,
Ere he had felt his lack of wing,
Or cursed his iron bourn.
The spriDgtime dubbed in his throat
The sweet sky seemed not far above,
And young and lovesome came the note;
All, thine is Youth and Love!

A CURIOUS CLOCK.

A missionary, travelling in China,
happened to ask the native guide who
accompanied him the time. The China
man Immediately went over to cat that
was near by, took it up. and carefully
examined it's eyes. He then came back
and announced that it was about two
hours after noon. On being asked on
what principle he had made his calcula
ton. he replied that by some automatic
device in the eyes of all animals. the
pupil contracts or expands as the light
increases or diminishes. We have all
experienced this on going into a dark
room. At first we can see nothing, or
very little, but after while the sur
rounding objects become very distinct,
owing to the expansion of the pupil of
the eye. This is especially so in the case
of the cat; so much so, in fact, that the
phases of the expansion and contraction
of the pupil can be plainly marked. At
daybreak the cats pupils attain their
greatest size then they gradually de-
crease in size till dark; after that they
begin to grow larger till daybreak. If
we remember these facts. by carefully
noting the size of the pup il we can give
pretty shrewd guess at the time. How
ever, it must be admitted that for the
proper working of this clock cloudless
day is absolutely necessary, as the least
clOrdinacc lOscenc fha Iiuht and the
changes of the pupil are LEES noticeable.

Isso importantth that you should be sure
to get THE BEST. Hoods Sarsapa-
rillahas proven its unequalled merit by
its thousands of remarkable cures, and
the fact that is has larger sale than
any other sarsaparilla or blood puri-
fer shows the great confidence the
people have in it. In fact it is the
Spring Medicine. 1t cures all blood
diseases, builds up the nerves and
gives such strength to the whole system

make me anew"

A SURPRISE PARTY.

One of the most prominent socia-
events of the easOn occurred at Lake
| Crystal on Saturday evening, wher
| about one hundred and fifty friends OF
| Mr.. and Mrs. Timothy Reese surprised
them at their home and Informed
them that they had been married a
quarter of a century. The company
adjourned to the opera house where
elaborate preparations had been made
for refreshments and literary exercises
The worthy couple were first present
ed with a silver tea service, cake
stand, berry dish, salad dish and other
articles in a we'll worded speech by
the Rev. Mitchell, of the Presbyterian
church, followed by Revs. Scott and
Roberts, the latter in the Welsh Ian
guage. Mrs. j. f. Strunk and Mr.. e.
w. Washburn sang a duet of their
own composition and Miss Belle
Dredge recited a poem The
Silver Wedding" in an excellent
The WOmans Relief Corps
of which Mrs. Reese is president, were
the originators of this happy event
and had been making preparations for
over two weeks, and succeeded in
keeping any knowledge of what was
going on away from the president.

WHAT is known as the Pingree
plan, that of c%ultivating vacant lots
in large cities for the benefit of the
deserving poor, is attracting wide at
tention because of the movement now
on foot by some of the larger cities of
the country to take it up. Many
practical farmers and gardeners while
admitting that the land offered will
produce enough to feed the poor of a
large city, do not believe the plan will
succeed in the long run, because the
majority of the class it is to help have
been used to being assisted by charity,
and know nothing of the methods of
c%ultivating the soil. There is I'M
d%oubtedly some truth in this. And
yet many of those who accept such
charity, accept it because actually
obliged to, and would gladly accept
any plan which would give them a
chance to earn their own livelihood.
Of course with that class that has
reached the point where self respect
is gone, it is entirely different.

SENATOR BARR Saturday introduced
a bill for a comprehensive general
law regulating city and village lock-
ups. 1t places the erection and main
tenance of lockups subject to the
inspection and condemnation of the
board of correction and charities, and
extends to lockups the law which
now exists regarding the sanitary and
moral regulation of jails. These
regulations refer particularly to the
protection of children, females and
insane persons from injury and con-
taminatiOn.

AT MANkATO NEXT.
Mankato Gets the A. o. III. State
Convention.

The next biennial state con-
vention of the Ancient Order of
Hibernians will be held in Mankato
The date has not been definitely de-
cided upon but it will be some time
in the fore part of next March. This
meeting will bring several hundred
delegates to Mankato from all parts
of the state, and it will be an impor-
tant gathering. This order is a large
and growing n and the people of
Mankato will be pleased to welcome
it's delegates within her gates.
Mankato is getting up a fine repu,
tation as a convention city, and the
railroad facilities and hotel accommo-
dations cannot be surpassed.

THE CITY

The result of Tuesdays election
will be found on our local page, and
by perusal it will be ascertained that
the Republicans made nearly a clean
sweep.
On the city ticket proper the Demo
Gratis did not elect a man, while of
the five aldermen elected where a
contest was made, three are Repub-
licans and two are Democrats.
AS was noted in these columns last
night, the strong fight was in the
Third and Sixth wards. In both of
these the Democrats were victorious.
In the Third because it is a Demo-
cratic ward, in the Sixth because a
large number of the Republicans de-
serted their candidate, Mr.. Day, urged
on-by outside influences and local diff
f%erences. Alderman Peterson, of the
Second ward, who was treated with
exceptional courtesy by the Repub-
licans of his precinct in endorsing his
candidacy, put in his time in an effort
to accomplish the defeat of Mr.. Day
in the Sixth, and thereby elect his
brother-in-law, Mr.. Lille, the Demo-
cratic candidate. Such acts of in
gratitude toward an opposing party
for courtesies rendered are not alto
gether common, it is pleasing to say,
and if this exhibition shall have the
effect of teaching the Republicans a
lesson whereby they may profit in
future by nominating a complete
ticket, something valuable may be
even gained by Mr.. Days defeat. Had
Peterson been obliged to remain in
his own ward to contest his own sue
cess, and not allowed to roam at will
into others, the Sixth ward would
have had no difficulty in electing a
Republican alderman.
Politically the council will stand
three Republicans and three Demo-
Gratis, with a Republican mayor.
1t is a source of much qualification
that G. p. Williams was elected treas
urer, and equally that Cal Smith came
out victorious for city recorder. The
exceptionally large vote for Smith
may be accounted for in part by the
of the friends of Harry
Brown, who were warm clear through
at the treatment which he received
at the hands of the Democratic con-
vention, and they pretty generally
showed their contempt for such usage
by voting for the Republican candi-
date. And they did we'll.
What figure the so-called liberal
cut in the election is not
known at this time, but that
it failed to connect in one or two
instances is plain. That it played a
hand in the game there is no doubt,
and the future actions of the council
will develop how much power it will
be able to exercise ia the management
of certain city matters.
Mayor Weaver will be able to exer-
else his independence in many mat
ters which have heretofore thrived in
this city in strict violation of law,
and the FREE PRESS is one of those
who believe that he will be found on
the side of law and morality.

WHY BEEF Is HIGHER.

Beef has been having quite a boom
in price lately. Extra prime steers
are now quoted in Chicago at Sc. 80 to
$3.50, when for the corresponding
period last year they brought only
$3.50 to S4.75. The III of the steady
rise is said 10 be due to the fact that
the beef supply of the country is 40
per cent smaller now than it was in
1894. This shrinkage in the supply is
said to be due to the drouth last year,
which has caused a large reduction in
the cattle supply. Take Nebraska for
instance. 1t is said that state will
send to Chicago during the next three
or four months the smallest supply of
cattle she has forwarded lnc cattle
feeding became an industry there.
This is caused largely by the failure
of the corr crop there last year.
Several others of the great cattle pro-
ducing regions report heavy shortages
in the cattle supply. The only cattle
region sending a good report being
the southern portion of Missouri.
Other sections where crops were not
seriously injured by last years drouth,
like Southern Minnesota, while pro-
ducing a great many cattle, are not so
extensively engaged as to in any way
effect the market, but the farmers in
these localities will reap a profit from
the increased prices, and will take in
creased stock in the old saying that it
is san i'll wind that blows no good"
