She Ate Pie.

Mrs. V. c, Seward in Saltwater Messenger
For many reasons, largely RETROSPECT
tive, we were very sorry to be unable
to respond to the invitation of the
Mankato Commercial Club and Editor
Hunt Of the FREE PRESS and visit
therQuarry City to renew old acquaint-
ance with its worthy citizens and the
editorial fraternity generally, SO we
had to smother consuming desire to
inspect that mysterious brown stone
front where we are cOnfidentially in
formed Editor Hunt still secretly
practices the awful rites of the black
art first discovered by Faust and his
satanic majesty, and where
"Black spirits and white,
Red spirits and gray,
Mingle. mingle, mingle,
You who mingle may"
But cruel fate being against US we,
like famous
Little Jack Horner,
Sat In our corner
Eating our Office pie:
While all the rest
Dressed up in their best,
Were off for glorious fly,
And took in that town
That does printers up brown,
And never has to half try.

OMAHA TRACK REMOVAL.
Hope Entertained That 1t riay YET
DO Through.

The meeting of the directors OF the
Chicago & Northwestern road In New
York was held week ago MONDAY,
hut whether they are still in session
no one knows. One thing is certain,
and that is that nobody in Mankato
has heard a word as to what was zone
with the project for the removal OF
the Omaha tracks. Diligent inquiry
has failed to uncover the slightest clue
as to what action has been declueu
unon. For the benefit of our readers
we give several brief interviews on Ghe
Suhiect with those who are supposed
to have the best sources OF ln1orma-
tion.
Sunt. Spencer: II have not heard
a word, and am at sea on the matCer'
am unable to account satisfactorily
for the delay in hearing something
Attorney Lorin Cray: u nave
heard nothing, but l have this possi'
BILE explanation for the delay. IL mas
occurred to me in thinking about IL
that possibly the officials are uncertain
whether the roads charter gives them
mower to make so important change.
They may have referred the matter
to the railway attorneys, who may be
looking it up. | am OF the OPINION
that their charter gives them the
right to make the change, as III says
that they may construct and operate
a road through Mankato, ana doh u
see why they cannot do it as well IN
one part of the city as announcer
There are many points in the railroad
business that we here don't think or.
If my theory is not correct, then IL
looks little bit to me as though the
project may not go through"
Jno. G. Noe: 81 have not given up
hope by any means. The directors
NAV still be in session. This little
matter of three miles will not seem as
big to them as it does to US, as they
have to watch over 5000 miles OF
track. 1 believe that the matter has
been delayed, or it is still under con-
sideration, which would be favor
able sign. 1t may be that we may
not hear for some little time yet"
DR.. Andrews, chairman Board or
Trade committee have heard moth
ing and do not know how to account
for the delay, but | still have hopes
that the project will go through"

THE CITY HEALTHY.

Health Officer Jacoby stated today
that there is not a single case of con-
tageous disease in the city. There
are several places that are nuisances,
and in one case a prosecution is
threatened. The party refused to
comply with request to abate a closet
that was nuisance to all the proper
ty around, and the health officer had
it cleaned and nailed up. Other
places are being looked after, and the
health department is not inactive.

MINNESOTA POTATO CROP

1t is estimated that Minnesota will
have the largest potato crop this year
she has ever had, and it will beat her
last seasons record by nearly 100000
bushels. The figures are generally
conceded and the season is now so
late that their reliability cannot be
questioned even were there DISPOSE
tion to impute their correctness.
Minnesota's yield places her in the
front rank of states which produces
the ERIN tuber" and with the export
crop 100000 bushels which she will
have ought to give her nearly as wide
a name for potatoes as she now enjoys
for wheat. The crop this year will
be about 1O,5OO,OOO bushels for this
state, a CORRESPONDENCE large crop for
North Dakota and fair crop for
South Dakota. 1t is conceded that
this years tubers are of the best and
that quality equal to theirs is sell
dom seen. This fact, together with
the immense yield, will make the price
of potatoes very low, not above %
cents in the extreme. At such a fig
ure it will hardly be worth while for
the people south to eat their own
poor potatoes, and in that lies prac-
tically the only hope the present
market affords of seeing the crop
moved. If the railroads will but give
fair rate so that there will be mar
gin of profit remaining, there will be
a considerable quantity for shipment
otherwise there will be nothing
done in that line.

FOR |OCEl\TS
THE WORLDS WHEAT.

In its wheat review of the week the
Minneapolis Tribune gives the follow
ing figures regarding the world S crop,
the exports and consumption of
wheat:
Thirteen exporting countries dur
ing the past twelve months sent i'm
porting countries about 425 to 1872
million bushels Of wheat according to
the different authorities. We now
estimate exports for the coming year
will equal about 42l, 100000 bushels.
Exporting sections grow about two
thirds of the worlds crop while the
importing countries grow the balance.
We estimate last years consumption
exceeded p billions of bushels or that
Of any previous consecutive months.
That the total worlds crop was near
ly 2,6OO,00O,0OO bushels and that it
reached the maximum pointlast year.
That the present crop will not be far
from .2,440, 100000 bushels. Wheat
consumption may fall 2 to per cent
below that of last season. Great Bri-
tain's annual consumption is about
half the worlds yearly export. Rus
STA and Black Sea ports shipments
last season were about 171,000,000
bushels. North America exported
nearly as much. Argentina exported
46, 100000 bushels. India about 49,
600, 900 bushels, the balance was scat
tering. Now the other side Russia
and Poland more than an average
crop and large export because reserves
are counted as large. France is the
third largest wheat growing country
and the largest producer that imports
largely and often holds the key to
supplies and price. 1t is said that
the French consume 9 bushels per
capita; the English 81 bushels and
the American % to Il per capita.
Russians and Germans eat more rye
and wheat bread and consume about
q bushels wheat per capita"

u portion and preparation ofingredi-
ents, Hoods Sarsaparilla possesses great
curative value. You should TRY 1T.

FOREIGN WAITS.

The Duke of Argyle writes the London
Times advocating as solution 0f the
Armenian problem that the powers drop
their jealousies and invite Russia to oc-
cupy Armenia.
The entire Russia press discusses the
chances of conflict between England
and America with an ardor approaching
enthusiasm, and in tone of frank hos
tility to England.
The Prince of Wales and Duke of York
earnestly trust and can not but believe
the Venezuelan crisis will be arranged in
manner satisfactory to the countries
and will be succeeded by the same warm
feeling of friendship which existed be-
tween them for 80 many years."
Gomez with his army made his ap-
pearance on Saturday close to the town of
Joyollano, we'll to the rear of Colon, and
commanded the railroads to Cardenas,
Matanzas and Havana. TIE movement
of the insurgents was an example Of
splendid generalship, accomplished un-
der the most trying circumstances and in
the face of an overwhelming number of
Spanish troops, commanded by some of
the best officers of Spain. 1t seems there
is nothing likely to prevent them besieg-
ing Havana within the next few days.

RatOn's Postmaster.

Frank R. Mathews, who was nominated
by the president on Saturday to be post
master at Ration, is native of Kentucky
and has been resident of Ration for five
years. He is Blackburn Democrat, and
it was Kentucky influence alone that won
him the nomination. For two years past
there has been lively contest on among
Ration Democrats over the postmaster
ship. The leading contestants were John
Beringer, brother of the editor of the
Ration Reporter, and DR.. Hestwood, both
of whom are staunch Democrats. Local
opinion, however, was divided in their
support, which made it pussible for
dark horse to carry of the appointment.
Col. Mathews is highly spoken of by resi-
dents here who know him.

agreed on by the ways and means COM
the capitol. Most of the members who
had gone home for the holidays hurriedly
returned and the attendance on the floor
was almost as large as at the opening
session.
| Immediately after the reading of the
| journal, Mr.. DingleY, chairman OF the
ways and means committee, reported the
revenue bill and the speaker forthwith
referred 1t to the committee of the whole
house.
Mr.. Crisp said that the house minority
had had no opportunity to prepare and
file its views.
Mr.. Henderson, Republican, of Iowa,
from the committee on rules, then pre-
sented the special order under which the
house was to operate.
After protest by Mr.. Crisp, the rule
report was adopted b y vote of 213 to
SO, strict party vote.
It provided that Immediately after the
adoption of the order it would be in or
der to call up the revenue bill just pre-
sented by Mr.. Dingley and debate to run
until O'clock when, without an intervene
ing motion, a vote should be taken on
the passage of the bill.
There may be important change made
by the ways and means committee in the
bond bill before the scheme is brought
before the house tomorrow. Consider
able dissatisfaction has risen among
Republicans since the text of the bill was
made public, the dissenters asserting
that it could be used by hostile admin
lstration for the permanent retirement of
the greenbacks.
In yesterdays's committee meeting,
similar charge was made by Democrats,
that the Republicans proposed to secure
what they always opposed and what Pres
ident Cleveland had advocated, the re-
tirement of the greenback.
Accordingly there will be a committee
meeting tomorrow morning to consider
an amendment prepared by Mr.. Hopkins,
of Illinois, which is as follows: Provided,
That nothing herein contained shall be.
construed to repeal or modify existing
laws, which authorize and direct the re-
issue of said legal tender notes.
Mr.. Hopkins is confident that his
amendment will be adopted.
PASSED.
This tariff bill passed the house at 1923
p. m. by vote of 205 to 81.
