THE ENUMERATION.
IT'S DISCUSSED BY THE BOARD
OF TRADE.
The Special Committee Presents
Report.-The Enumerators Com
mended by Chairman Barr.-Are
Saloon People SURPRISING Names?
Some Insinuations that They Are.

The entire time of the board OF
trade meeting Monday was taken
up with the consideration of the emu
meration of the city now in progress.
Geo. T. Barr made a report for the
special committee appointed at the
last meeting on this question. He
said that the labors of the committee
had resulted in the adding of few
names to the enumerators' lists. Citi-
zens have sent quite a number or
names to members of the committee,
who have turned them over to the
enumerators for comparison with
their lists. The enumeraJors had
acted promptly on suggestions mace
by the committee, and show dlspo-
sition to be most painstaking and &C
curate. All that can be done without
a new enumeration has been done, and
new enumeration would amount to
nothing, as the people would not be
bound to answer the questions asked,
as they are under the state census.
Probably very few more names would
be secured, and the board would. have
to furnish means to conduct it, as 1T
was not likely that many would volun-
teer their services to do this Work.
The commercial club would meet
tonight to consider the subject, and
DR.. Webster would probably present a
plan which he had Of offering ten
cents for each new name secured, and
thus stimulate people to send in a
large number of names. Mr.. Barr
believed that the census would show
that Mankato has population OF
over 10000. Those who have been
criticising the enumerators the most
have in no instance sent any names to
the committee or helped in the mat
ter.
John A. Willard thought that DR..
Webster's idea would be good one.
One or two of the members intimat-
ed that it would be to the interest of
the saloon keepers to have the popu-
lation below 10000, and that the sup
pressing of names was the point to be
guarded against the most. To meet
this others stated that some of the sa-
loon keepers, and perhaps half OF
them, would be glad to have the Ii
cense raised to $1,000, as it would run
out some of the others. The enumer-
ators had reported that there were no
indications to lead them to believe
that names were being suppressed.
Jno. n. Hall thought that every
thing points to the fact that the city
has IL 900 population, and that if the
census does; not indicate it, then the
count is not thorough or the census
five years ago was padded. The num-
Der of new houses would indicate an
increase of more than 1000, while the
excess of births over deaths has been
nearly 900.
Mr.. Barr stated that the number of
new houses does not necessarily bear
on the question, as one enumeration
five years ago found more people in
one house than he found this year in
three new ones where that house was.
Mr.. Hall said that all of the houses
and lodging places in the city are
filled, as the real estate men have ex-
ceptional means of knowing.
The discussion was somewhat pro-
longed, but the board adjourned with
out taking any action.

AGAIN the FREE PRESS asks the
question. Does the council intend to
furnish the voters with full informa-
tion as to what the cost of an electric
light plant will be? 1t is less than
two weeks to the special election and
the people haven't any idea as to
what kind of plant the council in
tends to buy or what it will cost.

ANOTHER ARREST.
Geo. Knapp, of nadison Lake, Wanted
i'm LeSueur County.

in LeSueur County.
Another descent was made on Mad
ison Lake, this time by the sheriff of
LeSueur county on Saturday night,
and Geo. Knapp, son j. X. Knapp,
was arrested on the charge of steal
ing six pairs { f shoes from Mr.. Longs
store at Greenland. The theft was
committed month ago. and suspicion
pointed to young Knapp and Frank
Dolliver, who is one of the parties
under arrest for breaking into cottages
on Point Pleasant. The hearing will
take place in LeSueur county.
The officers are to be commended
for their efforts to break up the gang
of thieves that has been breaking in
to cottages on Point Pleasant and
elsewhere, and if it is found that the
right parties have been secured, an
example should be made of them.

HE GIVES HIS CONSENT
THE LADIES HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION
 TO HAVE ANOTHER BENEFIT.
Mir. Niswonger VIII Give an Exhibition of His Marvellous Power at the Opera-house Tomor-
 row Night.

At the earnest solicitation of a committee of the Ladies Hospital Association MT. Charles Elliott Niswonger has consented to remain over in Pine Bluff and give an ex- hibition of his wonderful power as a mind reader. His work is very in- teresting, not only account of the seemingly impossible tests but from a scientific stand point. Mind read ing to the world is force existing but not by any means understood. The fewest persons possess the ability to exercise that power and quite a namber of those in a very limited degree. The use of another mind absolutely and without appar- ent effect is sight as marvellous as it is fascinating. Mr. Niswonger has never failed in any test attempt ed, and the Hospital Association guarantees the faithful performance of his claims. The entertainment will be success in every way, for it will be entertaining as well as prof. table to the thinking people.

The Great Red Store.

The fall opening of the Great Red Store, which began yesterday and will continue for three days, is a grand success. The display of goods is magnificent and the decorations most beautiful. In the millinery department the most exquisite hats of every hue and shape is to beseen. In fact so numerous and beautiful is the stock that it would seem hard for a lady to make her choice. Year by year the Great Red Store has continued to grow in favor with our people until it's business today is one of the largest in Southeast Ar kansas. To appreciate the immense business done by this establishment you should enter it's doors and see the enormous crowd of customers congregated there today.

"A Green Goods Man. !"

In "A Green Goods Man." which is announced as the attraction at the Opera-house, Thursday, Oct. 10th, is to be found all the latest foibles and crazes of the day. The new woman and the new man, are cleverly satirized, a burlesque on Trilby is given, with the famous barefoot Trilby dance, in which four young ladies take part, is also seen. This has proven the back bone of this great farce's success, in always keeping abreast of the times. An up-to-date performance is always given, for as soon as a new craze or foible appears it is in- corporated in this elastic farce. The songs and dances are also con- tinually changed, so that perform ance entirely new and devoid of all old features is given. The farce itself is a satire on the geen goods and bunco swindles, and portrays the adventures of the Yankee farmer in New York City. and his expe- riences with bunco men. The shell game, the three card Monte, green goods and number of other swim dies are exposed in truthful man. ner. In the cast as Mir. Frank J.
 Jackson, Mir. Barray Maxwell, Billy Blink, Charles Eastwood, Selby Tapsfeld, Frank Murphy and the Misses Freddie Hall, Lillian Acker- man, Lillian Raycieta, Willette and Georgie Chartres and Edwina, the sensational dancer.

Princess Alexandra is not handsome, but she is girl of sweet nature, and has the fresh joyousness of her age. Prince Ernest is the son of Queen Victoria's half sister, Fedore, to whom her majesty was warml attached.
