CLEAN UP.

The time has come for the annual
cleanup about the city, and Mayor
Weaver and Chief Yates will have
their usual spring proclamation out
next week, most likely. At least,
Chief Yates stated today that notice
would be given next week to property
owners to clean up about their
premises.
The frost is out of the ground for
three feet, as was proved in making
the excavation for the FREE PRESS
building, and there is no longer any
excuse for delay. Let everybody act
promptly and put our city in the best
possible condition, for this year Man
kato intends to take many long strides
forward, and many visitors will pass
through her gates and report all over
the land what they have seen.

HICKORY STREET PETITION
The City To Be Asked To Purchase
Steam Roller.

We stated some days ago that a
meeting of the Hickory street prop
erty-OWnerS had decided upon the
matchmaking of that street for one
block. The following petition has
been prepared and will be presented
at the next meeting of the council:
'"The undersigned, owners of prop
erty fronting on Hickory street be-
tween Front and Second streets, in
this city, would respectfully petition
your honorable body to cause that
portion of Hickory street to be
curbed and macadamized as soon as
possible. In order that the said work,
and similar work likely to be soon
asked for, may be properly done, you
are urged to purchase a steam roller
without delay.
"We respectfully further petition
that in doing the above work, the
surface of the street as it now is be
removed the proper depth to accom-
modate the stone and gravel to be
used: that the stone be selected from
the hardest ledge to be found in our
quarries and be well rolled, in. and
| that the street be surfaced with we'll
screened gravel, solidly imbedded
with the aid Ofuthe roller"

A PLEASANT AFFAIR.
The Grand Lodge Officers Visit the
Pythian knights.

Thursday will long be remembered
by the members of Mankato Lodge
No. Sc, Knights of Pythias, as
one of the pleasantest evenings which
they have spent in the lodge hall.
The attendance was unusually large,
about a hundred members being
present, including visiting members
from the Lake Crystal and Vernon
Center lodges, and other visiting
knights. The grand lodge officers
made the lodge visit, and most
fraternal feeling prevailed.
After there had been work in the
first and third ranks and the lodge
had closed, everybody was asked to
remain, and a lunch of coffee and
sandwiches and fruit was served in
the best style of Mine. Host Heinze.
Following this came a feast of
thought, with Supreme Representa-
tive L. p Hunt in the chair. Ad-
dresses were made by Grand Chancel-
lor J. f. Hilscher, of St. Paul; Grand
Keeper of Records and Seals Fred e.
Wheaton, of Minneapolis; Grand
Master at Arms Geo. Rodgers, of st.
Paul, Grand Prelate Sanderson, of
Vernon Center; Supreme Representa-
tive j. S. Mcdonald, of Minneapolis;
A. j. Stackpole, of Lake Crystal; and
Chancellor Commander g. A. Lewis,
@. O. Daley, w. B. Davies, W. L.
Comstock, W. B. Torrey and Prof. g.
E. Kenaston, of this city.
The remarks were all in happy
vein, and frequent references were
made to the death of Supreme Repre-
sentative Merry, of Saltwater. 1t
was after one o'clock when the last
words were said.
During the speaking, the question
of starting Uniform Rank division
in Mankato was discussed, and enough
volunteered to go into it to assure it's
success, and the promise was made
that the proper officials would visit
the city later to institute such a
division.
An invitation was extended to the
grand lodge officers to be present
when the lodge enters it's fine new
hall over the Ray block
The grand lodge officers left this
for Saltwater to attend the
funeral of the late DR.. Merry and
they were accompanied by L. P. Hunt.

SHIRT MAKING.
An Industry That Would Pay. in
rtankato.

One of our enterprising citizens
suggested to US today that shirt
making factory would be paying in
vestment in this city, and give en-
ployment to a good many people.
Said he:
"You have noticed how many trav-
cling agents for shirt making firms
visit the city. 1t seems as though
one comes in almost every day, and
they take away good many orders.
l myself have half a dozen shirts
made every six months. There is an
opening in Mankato for a paying
business in making shirts. Mankato
is good market and splendid center
from which to work up a large trade
in every direction. No let-up ever
occurs in the demand for shirts-they
are a necessity and no longer lux
ury, and the market would be con-
slant. / have been surprised that
nobody has started such a factory, and
the first thing our own people know
somebody will come to Mankato and
start such factory. Here is an OPP
portunity for enterprise on the part
of few Mankato young men,"

NEW MILITARY COMPANY.
Twenty-Five Names Secured For a
New Company.

AS stated Tuesday, some of the old
members of Co. f are talking of organ
izing new company. We learn that
twenty-five names have been secured
for the new company and that Capt.
w. L. Comstock has been asked to
take the chief command. The hope
is entertained that the company can
be organized in time to get into the
National Guard while there is an op-
pOrtunity. 1t is stated that the Wa
SEGA company is likely to be mustered
out of the service soon and in that
case it is hoped to secure it's place in
the Second regiment.
1t is understood that Col. Bobleter
would be pleased to have Mankato
company in the regiment, composed
OF as many experienced men as pos
sible, owing to the number of new
men that will necessarily be present
at the next encampment of the Second
regiment.
Those taking an interest in the Or
ganization of a new company say that
they will be careful to leave out of
the membership certain of the mem
bers of the old company who were
slack in attending drill or were. unde-
sirable in other respects. They pro-
pose that MankatO shall have "crack
company" to quote the expression of
the young men. 1t is the intention
to fill the offices with experienced
men who will take an interest in
bringing the company forward.

WITHOUT ARGUMENT.
Miss Heath's Damage Suit Goes tc
the Jury.

The $4,000 damage suit of Miss
Jennette Heath against the City OF
Mankato went to the jury late Friday
afternoon. When the evidence had
been completed the attorneys agreed
to submit the case to the jury with.
out argument, and the court proceed
ed to give the ,charge. The remain
ing witnesses for the plaintiff were
Harry Fuller, A. D. Heath and Albert
Ryal and the witnesses for the de-
tense were Geo. @. Boynton, David
Carpenter, Chas. Sanborn, Richard
Hughes, e. Austin, Flora Johnson,
Mary Plusher, Chas. Beckwith,
Marshall Comstock, F. A Halsted,
DR.. Harrington and DR.. Warner. The
plaintiff called DR.. Andrews, A. D..
Heath and Mary Nebauer in rebuttal.
The main point made by the city is
that the grade Of the street has never
been established where the accident
occurred, and that therefore the city
is not responsible. The plaintiff COM
bats this point.
The next case for trial is the So, 900
damage suit of Timothy Murtaugh
against A. B. Cole, Frank Haskell and
Geo. W. Allyn. All the parties reside
at. Madison Lake, and A. J. O'Grady
and III. L. Schmitt are attorneys for
the plaintiff, and W. E. Young for
the defendants. Cole is constable of
Madison Lake, and Allyn and Has
kell are sureties on his bond.
Cole arrested Murtaugh last July 18th
on the charge of being drunk and dis
without warrant, so he
claims, and subsequently the charge
was dismissed and new warrant. is
sued. Murtaugh took change of
venue and was released. He sues for
false imprisonment.
Judge Severance has returned and
will try this case.

Mr.. G. p. Williams was a pleasant
caller at our Office Friday afternoon.
While he has been out on the side
walk near his house on several pleas
ant days, this is the first day that he
has taken ride. He is looking much
better than his friends who had not
seen him had expected, and is rapidly
gaining. His lungs have entirely
cleared up, the cough disappeared, and
he is practically well man again,
although he will not be able to do
hard work for long time yet. We
are pleased to see Mr.. Williams doing
so well, and hope that nothing will
occur to set him back.

REMINISCENT.

The tearing down of the old struct
ures on the Ray property, at the cor.
ner of Front and Jackson streets, calls
to mind some of the early history OF
Mankato. This property was owned
by Mrs. Henry Jackson, the first white
woman to locate in Mankato. She
came from St. Paul, where Mrs. Van
Cleve speaks of her in her book as be-
ing the reigning belle. She had con.
siderable wealth, and when her hus-
band died in 1851 she started to build
what was then the best residence in
Mankato. This was completed in 1858
and is the white frame house on the
south side of Mr.. Rays lot. This
house was then located in the best
residence portion of the town, and as
Mrs. Jackson was.very fond of society,
it was fayorite place for social func-
tions with the early residents. She
entertained literally and had much
company from among the prominent
people of the state.
Finally Mrs. Jackson was married
to j. S. Hinckley, who still resides in
this city. On the evening of the
and at about the time of the
ceremony, the chimney burned out and
the alarm drew about everybody in
town to the scene. Mr.. and Mrs
did not continue to live
there, but j. HI. Ray bought a half in
terestin the property and the three
brick stores were put up, filling up
the front yard, and bringing in a
handsome revenue of late years.
J. r. Thomas, rented the corner store
for many years and conducted groc-
cry, and lived in the white house. A
few years ago Mr.. Ray bought Mrs.
interest in the property,
and she died shortly afterwards.
The family which have been living
in the house lately, an old gentleman
and his wife, continued to stay there
after being notified to move out. This
week Mr.. Burdick's men began to
tear down the house over their heads
and they then got out in hurry, hav-
ing no lease.

GOT FORTY DAYS.
Ragen Will Leave The Salvation Ar
my Alone After This.

| my Alone After IhIS.
VIM. Raglan was locked up Friday
on the charge of drunkenness. He
went into the Salvation Army bar
racks last night after the parade and
succeeded in making himself thor
oughly obnoxious. He refused to take
the hint that his presence could be
dispensed with, and fought the Army
policeman, Geo. La Favor, making
several viscious lunges at him with a
pocket knife, cutting several slashes
in his clothing.
After Raglan had been locked up in
the city hall he tied his suspenders to
the top of his cell and wound them
around his neck aud is said to have
tried to hang himself. The suspen-
ders broke, and as the officers refused
to furnish him rope he had to con-
tent himself with continuing to live.
Saturday @. A. Caswell, who is
one of the pillars OF the Salvation Ar
my, sWore out warrant charging Ra-
gen with assault in the third degree
on La Favor. Raglan pleaded guilty
to the charge, and was fined S25 and
costs, or in default of which he could
serve forty days in Jail. He chose the
latter and was committed to jail.
Ragen claimed to have come to Man
katO from WinOna and has heen em-
plOyed as porter in restaurant.
