In their trade review r. g. Dun &
Co. refer to the farmers unwisely
holding back their wheat. This is a
peculiar reference. Why they should
refer to it as unWise for farmer to
hold his wheat at the present price, if
he sees fit to do SO, and is able to do
so without interfering with any of the
demands upon his resources, is hard
to see. In all such matters every
man must be his own Judge. If the
farmer studies the market closely, he
ought to be able to judge of matters as
well as any one else. If wheat is be-
ing held back to any great extent, it
shows that the farmers are better able
to hold it now, than ever before, be-
cause of the diversity of their crops,
and that less than ever before are they
the victims of the Spectator. If it is
being so held it may prove an unwise
deal, but it is hard to see it in the
face Of the present low price, coupled
with the general belief that the
worlds supply is not much, if any, in

A GOOD SHOWING.
Rev. j, F. Stout Requested to Re-
main

Rev. and Mrs. j. f. Stout received
members of the official board and
their wives at their pleasant home
last evening, and entertained a com.
pany of about thirty. Tasty refresh
ments were served. The members of
the board made a unanimous request
that Mr.. Stout remain in this CITY
another year.
Mr.. Stout gave some statistics re-
garding the church, showing that
during the two years that he has been
its pastor the membership has in
creased from 237 to 425. The congre-
cation has paid the debt of over 81, 200
during that time, and the church is
now free from debt Besides this, it
has nearly completed a mission chapel
in North Mankato at a cost of 81, 200,
which will also be paid for when it is
dedicated. This is an excellent show
ing for two years of hard times
The church conference meets at
Faribault on Sept. 25th, and it is
probable that Mr.. Stout will be al
lowed to remain in MankatO, in COM
pliance with the desires of the church
and his numerous other friends here,
where his work has been crowned with
such success.

THE WATER QUESTION ON THE
HILL.

The people on Agency Hill have
pledged 81, POO toward well and wa
ter system in that section Of the city,
and the consideration of the matter
of getting water has been laid over
until the next meeting of the council
pending the securing of the estimates
and prices by the city engineer.
Whether well can be put down there
as cheaply as upon Bunker Hill, re-
mains to be seen. But in the matter
Of getting water supply for that por-
tion of the city, it does not cut much
figure. The burning question is to
get the water supply either on one
hill or the other. If the people there
are willing to go ahead and raise a
goodly sum of money toward defray-
ing the expense, the city ought to 60
ahead and put down the we'll without
further delay. The council manifest
ed more of a disposition at its meet
ing Saturday night, to go ahead and
in some manner solve the problem,
than it has at any time heretofore,
and it is to be hoped that the DISPOSE
tion will continue TO grow until the
work is accomplished.
The excuse which has been many
times made that the city has no funds
to eXpend ia the extensive laying Of
mains is robbed of its potency by the
statement before the council that if a
move was made which would result in
the sinking of well this fall. the peo-
pie there would be well satisfied.
Water within a few blocks would be
God send compared with the condi-
tion they are in now, which in many
ways will only be intensified by cold
weather.
AS to the putting down Of mains, if
sufficient supplyof pure water is OBJ
tanned, there will doubtless be little
trouble another season to put down
sufficient piping TO carry water to a
considerable portion of the district
where wanted.

FOR THE PLAINTIFF.

The jury Tuesday brought in a
verdict for the full amount asked by
the plaintiff in the suit of DR.. VIM.
Smith VS.. Herman Fritz, in the mu-
nicipal court, after being out but a
few moments. The bill was for an
operation for the telescoping of the
intestines; and the expert testimony
showed that the usual charge was
$500 to $500, whereas DR.. Smith had
charged but Sl25. The operation un-
doubtedly saved the girls life. Mr..
Fritz claimed that he did not order
the operation and that the girl ought
to pay for it.

BROKE A LEG.
A Drunken Brakeman Receives an
Injury.

John Boise, a brakeman on the
Minneapolis & ST. Louis road who
had come into the city but twice, was
found lying beside a cabOOse in the
yards "Wednesday in drunken
sleep, and with one leg broken and
his head bruised. He was removed
to the hospital and DR.. Andrews was
summoned and set the fractured
limb. The break was the bone of the
right leg halfway between the knee
and hip.
Boise was not employed in his
duties when injured. After his
work was done last evening it is be-
lieved that he wandered up town and
got drunk and then went back to the
yards, where he attempted to get in
to caboOse but fell off and received
the injuries described. He must have
lain there for some hours, as he was
not found until this morning when
the menLwent to work, and he was
then sleeping but still much under
the influence of liquor.
The caboose was stationary and re-
manned so during the night.

BURIED HER r1ONEY.
iOther Earth Proved to be a Poor
Bank.

The wife of a well-knoWn farmer of
Belgrade put her money, about SS5, in
to glass jar last summer and buried
it, feeling that Mother Earth was the
best banker. This did not prove to
be the case, for when the jar was dug
up two or three days ago, it was found
to be broken and that $50 in currency
was 50 badly widowed that it was
necessary to send it to Washington
for redemption. A check for S1l.36,
given June 10Th last 10y S. Sorenson,
was almost unacceptable. but Mr.
SOrensOn gave another check in it's
place yesterday, being assured of it's
genuinenesS.

Pauline Gayior Stole the Silver
Watch.

Z. NJ. kirkpatrick read in Tuesdays
FREE PRESS the partial de-
scription Of the silver watch found in
possession Of Pauline Gaylor, and
concluded that it was one missed by
his wife while the girl was working
there. He called at the police station
this morning and identified the
watch, and then with the officers
visited the jail, and the girl confessed
to stealing the watch. There was
some talk about stolen spoons, but
the girl refused to talk further. Mr.
kirkpatrick told the officers that he
knew enough OF the girls actions to
fill volume.
The girl called at Fred Westhoff's
store some time ago and presented
an order for five dollars purporting to
be signed by Mrs. Kirkpatrick, and
asked to have it cashed. 1t was sus-
pected that something was wrong,
and the request was refused, and Mrs.
kirkpatrick, was asked whether she
had written such an order, and it was
then learned that the order was
forged
1t is also learned that Miss Gaylor
purchased a pair of shoes and had
them charged to Mrs. kirkpatrick,
which she had no authority to do.

AT MAPLETON.
The Day Hot, the Crowd Great, the
Show Splendid.


Show Splendid.
Tuesday was a gala day for the
little city of Mapleton. 1t was regu-
lar Fourth of July with all the con-
Comitants-braSs band, procession,
bunting galore, the conventional small
boy, the colored lemonade, the gray
haired sire with his well-fed wife, the
young man with his best girl, and the
tiny babe with its face Illuminated
and burned by the hot sun.
1t was a scorcher of day. Hot to
a degree almost insufferable, yet good
naturedly suffered by those present.
They had come to town" for good
time, and they had it. They were not
TO be depressed by the hot wind and
hotter sun. And why should they?
There was Guy Spaulding to stand up
against as a shade, with Jim" Brown
in another section Of the city to fan
the air into a refreshing breeze as be
recOunted the glOrieS Of the occasion
duU DOlHjCu OuU JLC SuEJSliOi iuteii0'NS
of the superior specimens OF pumpkins
aud squash Hoatling had the Enter
prise Office bedecked with garden
truck and tempting fruit-the last
named safely locked in show case so
as TO make his visitors call for a taste,
But it was forbidden fruit, and the
onIooker could only stand and admire.
He could not touch or taste.
Every store building and place Of
business was decorated in becoming
manner with grain in the straw, and
some very artistic designs were
wrought. In the center Of the main
business street a booth Of several sec
tions had been erected, with grain
decorations profusely and artistically
arranged, and from which lemonade,
Sandwi hes, fruit, etc, was dispensed,
and from the interior Of which the
Maplet cornet band discourSed its
charming music.
The opera house was the most
decorations, and throughout the en-
tire day it was thrOnged with people
TO see the pretty things. 1t would be
inVidiOuS to enumerate ali of the at
tractive exhibits, but what seemed to
be most striking to the eye of the
visitor was the case Of china decorated
IL Of Tvs
Spaulding, which was certainly very
fine display of handsomely wrought
designs, and also the seal of Minnesota
wrought in grain and grasses by Mrs.
j. Z. Brown. This was piece of art
extremely true TO nature, and re-
quired much laborfo bring it out so
clear and pretty.
It would be impossible to give any
thing like detailed account of 'Car-
nival Day"in Mapleton in the limited
space at our disposal, but suffice to say
that it was glorious success. Fully
three thousand people were present,
and all had an enjoyable time. Over
one hundred from Mankato were pres
ent during the whole or part of the
day.
Maplet0n is an enterprising town,
and its thrift is shown on every hand.
The business men all report trade as
good, and there is no town in the
county more deserving Of prosperity
than Mapleton.
