MANKATO GOOD ENOUGH.
w. J. Love Returns from Colorado
Satisfied with Minnesota.

w. j. Love returned from Rocky
Ford, Col, last night, where he moved
with his family last June, expecting
to remain. He and his family have
been sick most of the time since their
removal, Roy now recovering from a
severe attack of mountain fever. Mr..
Love had narrow escape from the
fever. He lays the sickness to the
water, which is taken from the Ar
kansas river. In speaking OF the
country there, Mr.. Love said today:
"The town of Rocky Ford is situated
on the Santa Fe road in the southern
part of Colorado, and there is not
tree in sight to break the dull monoto-
ny of the prairie except those which
have been planted. 1t has only about
1000 people, yet there are as many
funerals there as there are in Manka
to. They claim that it is owing to so
many lnvalids going There, but l
don't believe it. 1t is the water and
mountain fever that is to blame. The
soil is watered by irrigating canals, and
the drinking water is taken from
these. AS soon as can get located
here again and get to- work | will
bring my family back"

The village of Wells is, excited over
a bold robbery which. was'perpetrated
in the principal store there during the
early hours of Tuesday morning, with
several sensational features. From
Conductors Curran and Root we learn
the main facts, substantially as fol-
lows:
M. l.. Leland's store is the largest
dry goods and general merchandise
store in the town. A fifteen year old
boy, Frank Kulla, clerks and sleeps
there. About one o'clock this morn
ing he was awakened from sound
slumber by two masked robbers, who
had effected an entrance through the
front door by means of skeleton key.
They pointed revolvers at him and Or
dered him to make no noise on pain Of
death Then they securely bound
him, hand and foot. Having done
this they boared hole in the safe,
but this took long time, and finally
for some reason or other they gave it
up. Before going, they took large
number of bolts of silks and satins,
to the value of about 500, and also
transacted the money drawer, securing
about So in money. In the cash box
of the safe was about 5000 in money
which they would have secured had
they succeeded in opening the safe.
The clerk was terrified, and did not
dare to move until long after the rob-
bers had disappeared. Then he man
aged to release himself, and gave the
alarm at about five o'clock this morn
ing. He claimed that he could have
united himself at any time, but was
afraid to make a move,
Two suspicious characters were ar
rested Tuesday, but proved not
to be the parties wanted and were re-
leased. The authorities are unable to
obtain clue to the robbers.

cipal street lighting and l still be-
lieve in it. but l should be very sorry
to have the city go into commercial
lighting. Then the matter of cleo

will be used as soon as people come to

MR.. KRAnERS'S CLAIr1.

In referring to Peter Kramer's

alleged permanent injuries received

Haynes believe that Mr.. Kramer is
not entitled to anything from the

OUR neighbor of the ReDie,C is no
doubt disappointed in it's failure to
secure the favorable action of the
council Saturday night for the city
printing. The claim of our virtuous
contemporary that while it's Figures
named for advertising are higher
than those named by the FREE PRESS
they are much lo,cer than those
charged by that paper" is simply an
illustration of the arithmetical de-
auctions employed by that office to
prove that twice five are eight and
twice four are six. The FREE PRESS
submitted a bid to the council to
print ordinances. resolutions, ETC.,
for eight cents per inch for first in
sertion and 6 cents per inch for sub
seQuent insertions. The ReuietU bid
10 cents and cents for the same
In other words the ReUleaU'S bid on
single insertions for legal matter is
% per cent higher than the FREE
PRESS and on two or more insertions
333 per cent. higher. There was just
about this difference on the entire
schedule submitted for bids, and we
agree with our contemporary that the
matter should be settled by promptly
declaring the FREE PRESS the official
paper, it being by Ia good
deal the lowest bidder. While
the FREE PRESS continues the official
paper under the old contract, it
would be better for the city to accept
the new and lO,Cer bid thus saving
money to it's treasury.

We would like to look into the
pleasant face of some one who has
never had any arrangement of the di-
gestive organs. We see the drawn
and unhappy faces Of dyspeptics in
every walk OF life. 1t is our national
disease, and nearly all complaints
spring from this source. Remove the
stamoch difficulty and the work is
done.
Dyspeptics and pale thin people are
literally starving, because they don't
digest their food. Consumption never
develops in people of robust and nor
NAL digestion. Correct the wasting
and loss of flesh and we cure the di-
sease. Do this with food.

WHAT ABOUT 1T?
Saloon Licenses in MankatO Should
be $1,000.

be $1,000
The reference made in MOndayeve
ning's FREE PRESS to the application
for liquor license by Powell & Conrad,
has caused considerable discussion
among our people, and the question
naturally arises, what steps will the
council take?"
No one will question the business
policy pursued by Powell & Conrad in
exhibiting willingness to surrender
that part of their uneXpired license
from Dec. eth to Feb. 18th for by do
ing this they give the city 500 and
take from it $500, making a clean
profit of s4OO on the transaction. BY
no means bad bargain for them
selves but by all means mighty poor
piece of tinanciering on the part of the
city to consider for moment.
The Statutes of NJ innesota, Sec
2022, laws of 1894, governing liquor
licenses says:
No license for the sale of Intoxicating liquors
Shall be granted to any person applying for the
same under the provisions of the charter of any
city of this state, which city contains popula-
ton of ten thousand people or more, by the mu-
nicipal authorities of said city, except upon the
condition that said applicant shall, before the
issuance of said license pay,into the treasury OF
said city, in the manner provided by its char
ter, a license fee of one thousand dollars, or
such fee in excess of said sum as the city coun-
Gil of said city shall. in the manner provided by
its charter, fix and prescribe; anything in the
charter of the city to the contrary notwiti-
standing.

The evidence that Mankato has
passed the ten thousand mark in pop
ulation is not wanting. While the
technical PRONUNCIATION of the census
returns has not been made by the SUI
perintendent of census, the fact
that this information has been given
by that officer ought to be sufficient
for the honest guidance of the coun-
Gil in passing upon the future applica-
tions for liquor licenses. The census
returns have been in the Secretary of
States office for fully ninety days, but
as the superintendent has until jan
uary 1st in which to make his COM
pilation and publication, it is presum-
able that he will take the limit, but
this fact is no justification for action
on a license that does not expire for
ninety days. There are large num-
Der of liquor licenses expiring in May
and June. Supposing that saloon
keepers holding such licenses should
ask the council to grant them licenses
from say Dec. 18th. They would
gladly lose the fee of five or six
months, which would mean 5000 or
$3.50, because they could save to
themselves $3.50 or 5000 by the
transaction. And all such
would be just as much entitled
to the favor as would Powell & Con-
rad.
The council could do no better by
itself and thus be relieved from ali
complication, than to raising saloon
licenses to 81 900 at its next meeting.
Such action would work hardship to
no one, would be equitable to all, and
entirely in conformity with the law.

than was intended, owing to some
delay in filling the cast on the start,
but it has now been definitely decid-
ed to give it on Wednesday and
Thursday nights, Dec. 4th and 5th-
1t is probable that tickets will be
placed at fifty cents all over the house,

MAP OF THE BATTLE OF FREDERICKSBURG.

If better position was gained, it would make
transportation Of supplies more difficult and
uncertain. So, from this standpoint, it was
not wise for Gen Burnside to move from
Warenton TO any other position east of the
RappahannOck River, unless by 80 doing his
army could be more easily supplied with sub
sistence.
AT all events, there could by no possibility
be any permanent good come TO the Federal
army by the change, excepting that Gen. Lee
could not SO easily have raided upon its line
of communications.
Bat on the other hand. Lee could. with
greater ease, have hanked his new position.
Now, if Burnside was manuveripg 10 force
Lee further South for the Winter, then the
movement had some merit in it, provided
that he had moved promptly and secured the
high ground on the opposite bank of the
river
This is precisely what he did not do; hence
upon this ground, il had no merit.
Was the manuver for the purpose of fore
ing Lee 10 give battle? II so. il had abso-
luiely no merit, even il he had gained all the
advantage Of position, on the south side Of the
river. No military critic would for a single
instant suppose that, at that season OF the
year, Lee would give general battle, unless it
was Necessary 10 protect his lines, or unless
be could fight defensive battle. He had no
idea OF campaigning then, and it would be
folly in him, as it WAS in Burnside, TO risk a
general engagement against his enemy in a
strong and almost impregnable position.
So in such an event, Lee would have fallen
back behind the Pamunkey River at Hanover
Courthouse, INTO some strong position for his
Winter quarters. So, Burnside would never
st that season of the year, have dared 10 fol-
