DIR. Davis Comes out Ahead i'm the
Fourth Precinct.

The result of Saturdays school
board election was as follows:
First precinct, T. r. Coughlan re-
elected without opposition, receiving
Al votes.
Second precinct, t. J. Jones chosen
without opposition. receiving % votes.
Third precinct, Lorin Cray elected
without opposition, receiving 81 votes.
Fourth precinct, DR.. e. ]. Davis
elected, receiving 126 votes to 100 for
f. f. Powers. There was hustle for
votes in this precinct during the
afternoon, and a number of ladies
voted. The result was highly credit
able showing for both sides. Mr..
Powers would have made an excellent
member of the board, had he been
elected.
The four gentlemen who were
chosen to serve during the next two
years are among our best citizens, and
the new member, Mr.. Cray. will add
strength to the board, while the old
members will bring to their work a
ripe experience which is always inval-
liable. Our school interests will be
well looked after by such competent
board as we have.

UNIVERSITY
SCHOOL.
SUMNER


At the University Summer School
number of changes have been made.
The kindergarten course will contin-
ue through the first two weeks of the
school, and classes in physical culture
will open with the third week and
continue until the close. Prof. San
ford will conduct the course in Eng
lish history criticism in place of Prof.
Mclean, and the course in old Eng
lish will be given by Mrs. Frederick
Klaeber. Prof. McFadon will have
charge of the music department. in
the place of Miss Griffin, resigned.
Miss Sarah L. Arnold has cancelled
her engagement to lecture. 1t is con-
fidently expected that arrangements
will be made by which railroads in
Minnesota will sell tickets to the
University Summer School on the GER
tlticate plan, by which, upon the en-
dorsement of the conductor, the re-
turn ticket may be purchased at one
third rate, provided that one hundred
certificates are deposited with the
conductor. The time of sale will
probably be from July 9th to july
3oth, and good till about August 26th.
A tlnal announcement will be nuh-
lished about July 18th.

FELL FORTY FEET.
Geo. Holmes Badly Hurt at the Ray
Building.

Geo. Holmes, the son of J. G.
Holmes, who lives at 321 N. Sixth
street, fell forty feet Monday
from the second story of the Ray
building to the bottom of the excava-
tion beside the foundation wall on
the Jackson street side. He was at
tending the brick masons, and slipped
on the scaffolding five feet above the
second floor and fell out of the fourth
window from the front, taking the
protecting bar with him. The dis
tance is Just about forty feet, and he
struck on some boards on his right
side, breaking two ribs on his right
side, one bone of his right wrist, and
badly cutting his nose and over his
right eye, and bruising his right
shoulder severely, and perhaps receiv-
ing internal injuries. He was picked
up unconscious and carried into DR..
Warmers office, and later was taken
to his home.
This afternoon he is resting easily
but is suffering much pain from the
broken ribs. DR.. Warner states that
he hardly thinks that the boy re-
ceived internal injuries, but cannot
tell yet. He vomited blood, but this
is thought to have come from his
nose. The young man is terribly in
jured, but unless unfavorable symp-
toms occur, the doctor believes that
he will recover.
This is the first serious accident on
any of our new buildings, and it is to
be hoped that it will be the last.

SPOTS like RAW BEEF
Erysipelas and Scrofula All My Life.
In Cloths For Weeks. Blisters
Size of Peas. Burned Like
Fire. No Rest Or Sleep.
Got Cuticura. Immediate Help.
Entire Cure in Three Months.

I have been troubled with Erysipelas and
Scrofula all my life Recently my limbs came
out in red spots from the size of my hand down
to the merest pimple. Some of them would
tester little, but mostly fire red, and the large
spots looked more like raw beef and would raise
up quite little from the surface. There would
be blisters come as large as peas in different
places with the rest. 1t was all over my limbs
from my feet to my body, across my shoulders,
and my arms, hands and wrists had to be done
up in cloths for weeks, and they would itch and
burn as though was atire, and there was no
sleep for me, and my limbs swelled good deal.
l tried three doctors, but did me no good. FL
naly friend recommended CUTICURA RENE
DIES, and my husband got them. gave them
thorough trial, and they helped me right OFF
In three months time was all well. Now this
was three years ago this spring. l have used
six or seven boxes of CUTICURA, and have take
nearly dozen bottles of the CUTICURA RESOI.-
VENT, and the CUTICURA SOAP 1 use entirGl,
and there is no other like it for bath and toe,

RECTIFYING A r1ISTAKE.

In the Good Thunder school dis
trict WA. Whsle was reelected clerk,
there being no contest. The district
voted to levy 49, 200 for school money,
800 of this being to meet deficiency
caused by trifling error made byAu-
ditor Randall last year. The district
last year voted to raise the usual
81, 800, but Mr.. Randall got it s775 by
mistake, and the district was forced
to borrow the balance needed and pay
interest. At the next settlement the
district will be square with the world
again.

DEATH OF w. c. OLIVER.
An Old Resident of Garden City
Gone.

VIM. G. Oliver died at his home
near Garden City J at Monday
night of old age. Last fall he fell and
broke his collar bone, and during the
spring he broke his arm, and both of
these accidents had their effect on his
general health.
Mr.. Oliver was born at Herford-
shire, England, March 18th, 1916, and
came to America in 1919. He located
in Wisconsin and finally settled near
Garden City in 1864, and for twenty
one years conducted farm there. He
leaves wife and seven children, one
of whom is Mrs. Geo. B. Owen, of this
city.
The deceased was an upright and
highly respected citizen, and was in
dustrious and handwriting. His sterl-
ing character commended him to all
who knew him and he was possessed of
large number of friends all over the
county, who will regret to hear of his
death.

AN ILL-FOUNDED OBJECTION.

The ReUieoU still claims that the
council must establish city lighting
plant as the people have directed, but
it does not undertake to disproye the
fact that the people would not pro-
badly want the council to carry out
such a course if good service could be
obtained more cheaply. 1t states that
the assertion that the city can get
street lighting at cheaper rate in
this way than through plant of it's
own is an assumption that cannot be
demonstrated until both policies are
practically tried" This is very true,
and no one has assumed differently.
The position taken by Judge Torrey
In his communications, and maintain
ed by the FREE PRESS has been that
the council should proceed to secure
full and thorough information upon
this very point so as to see which
would be the cheapest. Finally the
ReUteao says it is not averse to such
policy eff it can be reached without
material increased expense" What
in the name of common sense is it
opposing it for, then. There will be
no expense attached further than ITO
advertise for bids, which will amount
to but trifie. Other expert infor-
nation could also be obtained at lit
tie or no expense.
1t, however, tries to make out that
if bids were secured from power
company under the conditions set
forth in our article of Saturday that
the city might have to pay enough
for it's lights to make good the whole
or part or the loss incurred in operat-
ing an electric street railway. This
is simply man of straw put up for
the fun of knocking it down. The city
does not have to accept the bids for
street lighting unless convinced that
they were very low and it would be to
it's interest so to do. it is fact that
the cheapness of the production of
electricity depends, like everything
else, upon the amount produced, and
company which has all the machin-
cry for producing electric power for
city and private use could produce
the additional power needed for an
electric line for very small expense
as compared with what it would cost
a company for that purpose alone. 1t
is because a large power company
could run matters so much more
cheaply that it could make returns
upon it's investment while giving the
city and it's individual patrons SER
vice at lower rates.
There would at least be no harm
done in making an inquiry into the
matter and getting all the informa-
tion possible on the subject.

THE NORTHWESTERN CROP.

A few days ago the Pioneer Press
published estimates upon the crops of
Minnesota and the Dakotas, which
were made up from figures given out
by Col. G. D. Rogers, secretary of the
Minneapolis chamber of commerce,
and from other sources of, its own OBJ
seryation. These figures gave the
acreage and estimated yield, and the
wheat yield of North Dakota was
placed at 100000 bushels. Yester-
day it published another report which
drops the North Dakota wheat yield
to 35,O0O,OOO bushels, and makes a few

WHEAT HARVEST BEGUN.

The cutting of wheat began all over
the county Wednesday and will be
nearly completed by the end of the
week. Some fields were cut the lat
ter part of last week. The weather
has been perfect for wheat during the
last two or three days and it will be
harvested in good condition.
Geo. Norman was in from Judson to-
day and says the reapers are at work
in all directions. He says that rain
this week, unless it was prolonged,
would do no damage to wheat.

other changes, but these do not ma
terially effect the total estimated
value of the crops of the three states.
The changes in the figures were made,
it says, as the result of communica-
tions from residents at leading CEN
tiers of the two Dakotas. From all in
formation that can be obtained from
other sources, these estimates which
the Pioneer Press gives are about as
near correct as can be arrived at
through observation. According to
it's figures the crops of the Dakotas es-
timated in bushels will be approx
mately as follows:

This gives total value for the farm
crops of the three states of S156, 72S,-
500. This is not a bad showing, but
it does not give anything like what
the farmers will realize from their
farms, for it only gives the result of
the grain crop, and takes no account
of the returns from stock, dairy, hogs,
etc. 1t is simply crop estimate.
1t is also probable that the esti-
mated value of the farm crop for the
states is somewhat under what will
actually be received for it, for with
the exception of wheat and potatoes,
the greater share will be fed upon the
farm and marketed in the shape of
pork, beef, mutton, ETC., at consider
ably enhanced prices, to say nothing
of the additional benefit to the
farmers. So that taking it all around,
the northwestern farmers, when COM
pared with the rest of the world, will
have no complaint to make.

BOARD OF EQUALIZATION.

On motion, ordered that the change
be made in the valuation of the differ
ent classes of personal property and
the following percentage be added to
or deducted from the valua tion re-
turned by the assessors.
The figures in roman on the follow
ing schedule indicates the percentage
to be added to and the figures in italic
indicate the percentage to be deduc-
ted from the valuation as returned by
the assessors of the following dis
tricts.
The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1895-07-26

This reduces the wheat crop OF
North Dakota 100000 bushels, and
increases the oat crop 100000
bushels, and the potato crop by 1,700,-
900. Some slight changes are also
made in the estimate for South Da-
kota. The aggregate value of the
harvest, however, is but little changed,
and the Pioneer Press states that upon
the total estimate it's correspondents
practically agree.
1t then proceeds to figure up the
money value of the crops of the three
states, using the following prices at
terminal points: For wheat, roc; rye,
SOC; barley, 45c; oats, soc; corn, 45c;
potatoes, SOC, and hay at $3.50 per
ton, and it puts the value of the three

TYLER,S GRAVE.

The Philadelphia Record says that
while the political air is full of the Mon
roe doctrine. ones thoughts sometimes
turn to the grave of James Monroe, In
Hollywood Cemetery. ut Richmond, Va.
Two Presidents, 1t says, lie buried al
most side by side in that Confederat &c
burial ground. Near by the grave of
Monroe sleeps John Tyler, the tenth
executive to reign In the White House,
upon the death of "Tippecanoe" Har-
rison, and yet his mound is practically
unmarked.
January nth next will be the thirty
fourth anniversary of his death, and
our contemporary advances the opin-
lon that Virginia, which held him rs
II babe in her lap and received his ashes
as Congressman of the Confederacy,
should erect shaft above his resting
place. 1t thinks. and thinks properly.
that the resting place of all OF our great
men should be properly marked.

A SERIOUS MATTER.

The New York Herald is the authority
for the statement that the battleship
Maine. having aboard her stores, coal
and armament ready for sea trial,
draws three feet more water forward
than aft, and IL this be fact II is u
serious matter. The Maine was built
at the Brooklyn Navy-yard and the
defects alleged show Il serious miscal-
culation upon the part of either her
designers or builders 1t is possible
to bring her into proper trim, but this
only can be done at a great cost. We
do not hear a great deal about the mat
ter. however, but how different It would
be If the ship had been built ut any
Southern navy-yard
