reason to feel disappointed when on call

she sold the berries refused TO pay for

Mrs. Martha Kerr, great-grand-
mother of Mrs. Chas. Harris, died a
week ago at Bel~lefontaine, Ohio, aged
nearly Sc years. She was born in Allie
gheny county, Penn, July 9th, 1899,
and was the oldest resident in Logan
county, Ohio, at the time of her
death. She was the third oldest of
fourteen children, and one sister sur
wives her, aged 81 years. AL but one
were Presbyterians. Mrs. Kerr left
five children, fifteen grandchildren,
and seventeen Observation-Disclosures.
Her last sickness was caused by a fall
at her home. For nearly fifty years
she had been a widow, and to her fell
the task of rearing and educating the
family.

WILL GO HIGHER.
Cattle and Hogs will Continue to Adj
vance in Price.

Mr.. L. E. Crane, of the Twin City
stock yards, New Brighton, represent
ing the Live Stock Reporter, of which
he is one of the editors, is spending
the day in the city. He arrived on
last evenings train, to look over the
live stock interests of Mankato and
vicinity. In conversation with a
FREE PRESS reporter today, he said:
Clogs and cattle have been advanc-
ing of late, but the end is not yet. L
believe [ am safe in saying that cat
tie will advance twenty-five per cent.
over their present values during the
present season. Hogs will also go
higher. Three or four years ago Min
nesota cattle cut so little figure in
the market that they were not quoted
in the prices. Now things are differ
emit, and the state has gone into stock
raising to a great extent. Stock
from Southern Minnesota seldom
finds it's way into the Twin City
stock yards, as it is almost all shipped
direct to Chicago.

and the recent rains were very bene-

ELECTRICAL IMPROVEMENTS.
Nicholas Tesla Makes Some Important
Discoveries.

In the April number of Century ap-
pears an illustrated article by Nikolas
Tesla, the famous electrician, giving
AN account of some Improvements
that are claimed to be so important
that they will revolutioniZe the sys-
tenn of furnishing power. John G.
Noe is carefully watching all improve
ments in this line, on account of the
street railway line, which he hopes
'at some not distant day will be OPP
jerated by electricity. In speaking on
the subject of Tesla's article today,
fhe said:
"At present a continuous current is
used, but it is proposed to hereafter
have an alternating current. Under
the former there is a loss of eighty per
cent of the current, while under the
alternating system the loss is but
twenty per cent. Heretofore a sepa-
rate dynamo has been required for arc
and incandescent lights and for power,
but now one of these machines can be
: used for the three purposes. This will
cause a saving in the cost of general
! ing power, as not so much steam will
! be required to run one dynamo as
three. There is still another improve
ment, this being In oscillator, which
is a combination of the dynamo and
engine. These advancesin electricity
will bring about a saving of expense
and a saving of waste IN. electric power
i'm every direction.
"Tesla's article is causing much
talk, and a dozen men have spoken to
me about it in the last twenty-four
hours. With the Improvements that
L have indicated and the others that
are being made-for dozens of electric
,ians are working in their laboratories
on different lines of work, with these
improvements, l say, there is a fair
probability that in a year or two the
present plants will be thrown aside as
obsolete, and every user of electricity
will have to buy new machinery. This
is one reason why there has been a de-
lay in starting an electric street car
line in this city. Looking at the mat
ter in this light, the city, even if it
wanted to put in a lighting plant of
its own, ought to make a short con-
tract with the Electric Light Co., in
order to await the latest developments
in electrical machinery and not pur-
chase a plant which other cities are
about to discard. Only a beginning
has been made in electrical researches
and the world may soon hear of other
inventions as important as these 1
have referred to-"

James Mckee was arrested We'd
nesday at Mapleton on the charge of

of August Nienow, who with others
purchased rattle tickets of Mckee

such haste to leave that he forgot the
rattle, hence the arrest.
Judge Buck informs us that every
thing is moving smoothly with the
proposed new bank. The amount of
stock actually subscribed is $50, 900,
while $4,000 more has been spoken
for. Today 81, 300 was taken with no
solicitation. The necessary papers
will be made out as O as possible
and forwarded to Washington.
The Minneapolis Journal says:
"Rev. Israel Bergstrom, whose con
version from the Baptist faith to the
~EpiscOpalian caused so much of a SEN
sation a year ago, called on Bishop
Gilbert yesterday and rendered his
resignation, to take effect after Eas-
ter. Mr.. Bergstrom says that his res
ignation is simply the result of person
al affairs and not in any way connected
with the church. His association
with.the Litchfield pa~storate, to which
he was assigned at the time of his
change OF faith, has been a perfectly
c%ongenial and happy one, and he ex-
poets to take up pastoral work after
an interval of secular pursuits"
The copy for the premium list of
the State fair of 1895 is now in the
hands of the printer, and the books
Will be ready for distribution not
later than May 1st. Something over
81, 900 is offered in the premiums for
horses. Substantially the same
amount is offered for cattle. Equally
liberal premiums are offered in each
of the other departments, making a
total of Sl4, 900. Add to this the
amounts offered by enterprising firms
in the state for special premiums, and
the purses offered for racing, and the
grand total for premiums and purses
exceeds S22, ZOO. The board of mana
gers will meet on Friday, April 9Th,
and at that time the race program
will be announced in detail. The
prospects for a successful fair are IN
c%ouraging in every way.

BURNED STRAW.
A Midnight Reveler Fires a Load of
Straw on r1ain Street.

The occupants of the Washington
House had a scare Monday at a few
moments past midnight. On looking
out, it was see that a load of straw
that had been left in the street for
the night was on fire. The straw
blazed up brightly and had there been
a stiff south wind, the buildings on
the north side of the street would
have been endangered. An alarm
was turned in from box 81, and the
the fire department. o had the fire
out, and the wagon was not damaged.
A gentleman coming in on a train
stated that he saw a man light the
fire and then run away. 1t is thought
that some one who had been celebrat-
ing the election started the blaze out
of excess of spirits. natural or fer

ing and ching would drive her nearly
wild. Unless we incased her little
hands she would tear patches of skin
from her face and hands. We tried
many doctors and many remedies and
at last gave the case up as hopeless.
But our daughter Cora tried Hoods
Sarsaparilla, to cure a scrofulous lump
near the left breast which caused her
much pain and after taking 4 bottles it
disappeared. Blanche, who is now
eleven, had spent seven years of suffer
ing, so I concluded to give her Hoods
Sarsaparilla. She took 5 bottles and her
face is smooth and soft as a baby's, the
color of a rose petal. Her hands are
soft and white, where foul months
ago they were blue and red and
calloused nearly like leather. I can
not express my gratitude by pen or
mouth. 1t seems a miracle and our
friends are surprised" MRS. ANNA

Last year we commenced an elaborate plan of advertising,

DISAPPEARED. Why2 Because WE WERE OVERWHELMED
WITH BUSINESS. There was but one thing to do: withdraw

:. Last year we could not reduce prices because we were
compelled in some way to limit the demand for Aermotor goods.
We would have been satisfied with lower prices, but why create
a demand which we could not supply? We have made the
heaviest purchases of steel and material bought in America this
year, and at unprecedented prices, and have made terms to
dealers which enable them to make unprecedented prices.
In quality, character, variety, finish, and accessibility to
full stock of goods and repairs, we are without competitors.
In our plan of advertising last year, we proposed to furnish a
