HOSPITAL OPENED.
DR.. ANDREWS PRIVATE HOSPI-
TAI
The Building Will be Enlarged the
Present Season and rIade a Conn
modious structure. = Starts Out
With Four Patients.

DIR. J. w. Andrews opened his pri-
vate hospital this week, using the up
per story of the building on Cherry
street. Six rooms are at present fitted
up, but as there is no place for din
ing room and kitchen, the patients
are receiving their meals at DR.. An
drews' residence. -Four patients are
now receiving treatment. Miss
Chamberlain, trained nurse of large
experience, has accepted the position
of nurse, and is now fulfilling her du
ties as such.
DR.. Andrews states that he will en-
large the present building during the
summer, adding another story and
perhaps making an addition upon the
rear, He has as yet made no plans,
but states that the improvement will
positively be made. He will probably
purchase DR.. Woods interest in the
building before these Improvements
are made, and it is rumored that DR..
Wood will erect new building of his
own on some location not yet decided
upon.
The building after receiving the adj
ditions proposed will be capable of &C
commodating dozen patients. The
kitchen and dining room will be on
the third floor. There will be closets
and bath rooms on all the floors, and
water connections, and everything
needed in a frst-class hospital, in
fact.
This hospital is for the benefit of
DR.. Andrews private patients, who
often come from some distance and
desire accommodations near DR.. An
drews' office. The location is adj
vantageous for them, and especially
such as walk out.
W. w. Harmon, who had rooms in
the building, is stopping for the pres
ent at DR.. Andrews residence.

ANOTHER HOTEL.
THE MlNNEOPA HOUSE CORNER
CHANGES HANDS.
A Fine New Hotel May be Erected
on the Property this Season--The
Location a Good One--Good Men
Back of the Enterprise.

Yesterday we gave an account Of
the proposed organization of fourth
national bank. Today we are enabled
to state that Mankato may soon
have another fine hotel. And it will
be good one, fitted out with all the
modern Improvements unually found
in first-class hostelries.
The Minneopa House corner was
this week sold to parties, who are
credited with having determination
to improve the property. This corner
has frontage on Second street of 1872
feet, and on Cherry street of 1871
fleet. 1t has been the property of |.
I A. Pelton for many years, and the
buildings which it contains have been
an eyesore for nearly as long. The
property owners in the vicinity have
long desired to see the corner impgov-
ed, and more than once it's purchase
by syndicate of business men has
been.agitated.
At present there are three parties
back of the enterprise, and they are
men of wealth and plenty of push.
One of these lis. Horace Cummins, the
well-known Eagle Lake merchant.
Two Chicago men, who are looking
for promising western city in which
to locate and invest their money, are
the other parties associated with Mr..
Cummins. These two gentlemen are
expected to visit Mankato IN few
days to look over the ground.
While Mr.. Cummins has a refusal
of the property, and a contract for a
deed has been passed and the first
payment of $500 has been made, the
hotel project depends largely upon
the amount of encouragement which
the plan receives from adjacent pro-
perty owners. Only a rough sketch of
the building has as yet been prepared,
but enc yh is known to warrant the
statement that the hotel will be
four stories high, brick with heavy
stone trimmings, and INTELLECTUALLY
credit to the owners and notable
improvement to the corner and to the
city. The building, when furnished
will cost $50, 900, and, as stated, will
have all the Improvements usual in a
metropolitan hotel, such as water and
sewer connections, electric lights, etc.
The dining room will be pleasantly
arranged, with fine Quarter-sawed
hard wood floor, and will be just the
place for small dancing parties. The
parlors will be nicely arranged and
furnished. In fact, the building will
be handsomely, even elegantly, fur
nished throughout. This building
will be splendid addition to the
business and commercial resources of
Mankato. That it will be profitable
investment goes without saying.
The FREE PRESS has been in possess
sion of the facts in the case from the
time that the enterprise was in it's
incipiency, but at the personal re-
quest of those interested we have
heretofore fOreb0re mentioning it.
The facts have begun to leak out, and
we now have permission to state as
much as is here given.
We hope that there may be no hitch
in the project, and if there is not, we
are assured that work on the new
structure will begin early in the sea-
son. The present occupant of the
old building has lease only from
month to month.

The Last European Menace,

Thirty-three years ago, the seventh
of this month, occurred the beginning
of the last attempt by European
power TO interfere in the political
concerns of North America. On that
day the troops of the French Emperor
landed at Vera Cruz. The United
States was fairly engaged in the
struggle with the great Rebellion,
and no doubt the moment seemed
opportune for the invasion of a
neighboring state. All the Old
World governments were unfriendly,
or at least cold to the United States,
but France alone took advantage OF
our EN- barrassment to seize foot
mold in the New World. Perhaps
Napoleon Ill. felt premonitions OF
that discomfort among his own peo-
pie which made him an easy prey
eight years later, and thought To
strengthen himself by ministering TO
the French love of glory by foreign
conquest; perhaps he contemplated
| the new empire as possible refuge
| for himself. For time he was sue
| ceSsful and seated the unfortunate
Macmillan as Emperor of Mexico.
| Towards the close of our war, when it
| became evident that the United
Il
veteran army free TO assist her
neighbor. the new imperial fabric fell
rapidly to pieces, and Napoleon desert
e5 his unfortunate protege, Of whom
IL may be said that nothing in his life
so became him as his leaving it.
Since the failure of this attempt &c
fasten European monarchy on Mexico
that country has made "A steady though
slow, progress, and Americans can
