RICHBURG, n. Y.
To whom it may concern:
This is to certify that have purchased
a Home Comfort Range from one of the
travelling statesmen employed by the
Wrought Iron Range Co., of st. Louis,
Mo-, and am pleased to say that it gives
entire satisfaction in every respect After
| had bought my range the hardware
man told me everything discouraging
and dishOnorable about aforesaid COM
pany and their goods. But thorough
investigation made by myself proved
very different, and l was convinced that
they were trying to do the Wrought Iron
Range Co., and their ranges a great in
justice. | wrote to several parties who
had used Home Comfort ranges for years,
and received answers that they could not
say too much in favor of them. One
man, Mr.. Walter Brown of Fredonia Sta
ton, Ohio, writes: 1.-THE hardware men
here claimed, when this country was
canvassed, that the ranges were frauds
and we were all swindled, but after
trial Of several years, am now prepared
to say that the ranges are all that was
claimed for them by the statesmen" Now
| would advise any one not to put too
much confidence in what hardware men
tell them. They have told me falsehoods
about the ranges, but let everyone ex-
anime for themselves and 60 according
to their own judgment. But l would
say to anyone contemplating buying a
range, buy a Home Comfort.

The sequel of the taking of N. P.

reached Saturday, when "Butch"Row-

back for the state reformatory at ST.

evening and were ordered out by the
bar tender. Mayor Weaver tele-
graphed the facts to St. Cloud yester-
day, and this noon one of the officials
of the institution, Mr.. Hays, arrived
in the city, A consultation was held
with Judge Shissler, County Attorney
Benedict and Chief Yates, and the
result was that Mr.. Hays started back
with the two young fellows on this
afternoons train.
Mr.. Lees coat was found at the
barn Thursday night, whe.e it had
been thrown into the doorway before
Roway was arrested.

A CORRECTION.

Some time last winter the story
which was related in the FREE PRESS
of January 3Oth regarding the suppos-
ed murder of Hans Oien at the Ander-
son boarding house at $50 South Front
street, this city, in the winter
of 'S6-'S7, came to me on what
believed to be good authority, and l
related it with that belief. Some
time after l took occasion to inquire
further into the matter, and found
that the information given was not re-
liable. / saw personally the brother
of the deceased, whom it was said had
received a letter from the widow of
the alleged murderer, and he stated
that he had received no such letter,
and that to the best of his knowledge
there was no truth in the report what
ever. OLE Peterson.

NO PROMISES nADE.
rlayor Weaver Says That Petitions
Are No Good.

A number of rumors have been
floating around the. city during the
past few days as to the filling OF offices
under the new administration. One
of these was to the effect that Presl-
dent ]. R. Beatty would resign his
position on the board of public works
and be succeeded by Ed. l. 2. Staede,
and another was that EX-Sheritf w. j.
Glvnn was to have Chief Yates job.
In speaking of the matter TODAY,
Mayor Weaver stated that there is no
truth in any of these rumOrs, and
that he has received but one applica-
tion for an office, and that was made
six weeks ago. He authorized the fol-
lowing statement:
81 am not aware of any resigna-
tions, and the situation has not been
canvassed by me regarding any Office
in any way. No promises have been
made, and none will be made until
after election, and no encouragement
has been given to anyone,which would
lead him to believe that he might be
appointed to any office. While appll-
cants for positions have a right to get
I'D petitions, the latter will have no
more effect with me than personal
applications or letters"

THE BRIDGE IMPROVEMENT.

The bridge over the Minnesota
river at Mankato was built to in
crease the trade of that place, and
perhaps one-fourth to one-third of the
local trade of Mankato crosses that
structure. That town, now boasting
of a population of $4,000. modestly
asks the farmers of Belgrade to assist
the city in keeping it in repair, but
the township, though it's town board
chairman, w. Hodapp, declines to be
party to any such transaction. That
bridge should be kept in repair by the
city for whose benefit it was express
ly built.-S. Peter Tribune.
Itshould not be forgotten that the
benefit is mutual, as regards the bust
ness men of Mankato and the resid-
ents of the adjacent portion of Nicol-
let county. That one of the parties
benefited should practically pay for
the bridge and then pay for keeping
it in repair does not strike us as being
exactly fair, however it may appear
to the Tribune.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
intiamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have rumbl-
ing sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, deafness is
the result, and unless the infiamma-
tiOn can be taken out and this tube
restored to it's normal condition.
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an in.
famed condition of the mucous sur.
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness Caused by
cataIrh) that cannot be cured by

MILWAUKEE, TRAIN SERVICE.

The people of Mapleton are very in
dignant over the train service on the
Milwaukee road, as the following will
show, taken from the Enterprise:
The train service which our people
are compelled to put up with, is simply
outrageous, and while we do not pre-
tend to run other peoples business,
we see no good reason why the rail-
way company can not put on the other
train, as formerly, as more cars are
now being hauled by the two trains
than when the company gave us the
extra train. Under the present SER
vice it is impossible to visit Mankat o
and transact any business, and return
the same day. The trains are usually
late, and the short time at Mankato
is reduced to that extent that people
having business there are compelled
to drive down with teams.

also a visitor to the city, and stated
that seeding in his neighborhOOd will
begin Monday, as the ground is now
in good condition. The farmers in
that portion of the county, esaid, will
put in about one-fourth less wheat
than last year, and put nthat much
more ground into flax.
Farmers from other parts Of the

STRUCK WITH A CLUB.

The Mapleton Enterprise says that
Gale Cyphers, of Good Thunder, came
up on the evening train Wednesday to
have DR.. Bishop reduce a fracture of
the left arm and dress wound on his
head, which injuries he says were in
fiicted with a club in the hands of F.
Malzahn, saloon keeper at that
place. Mr. Cyphers is known as man
of great agility and strength and it is
more than probable that advantage
was taken of him or the other fellow
would have been the one in need of a
doctor. The row is said to have
started over some petty talk of the
women folks of the two families.
