ABOUT FRUIT.

Mr.. EDITOR:
1t may be of interest to your many
readers to know something regarding
the probabilities of this seasons fruit
supply. Last year was very disastrous
to the California shippers of decideous
fruits and they have declared their
intention of Withholding shipments
unless they can realize something
more than freight and commission
charges for them.
A prominent Twin City receiver adj
vises me that box of peaches must
bring over 81 cents before the shipper
can realize one cent for his fruit.
This means that if you buy them here
of your dealer at less than 81 you are
in luck at the other fellows expense.
Recent advises from California regard
ing Bartlett pears states that the crop
is light and but few more to come.
AS prices have been maintained so far
this season the prospect is favorable
to an advance. A liberal supply of
Hardy and other varieties of pears is
promised for future shipment. A
large crop of eastern peaches is report
ed and will no doubt be freely offered
during the month of September at
reasonable prices.
Early reports were to the effect that
the New York grape crop was entirely
destroyed by the frosts, but late adj
vises are that there will be about
sixty per cent of crop at fair prices,
but do not look for the low prices of
previous years.
A large crop of apples of more than
ordinary quality is now coming into
market at very low prices. In this
connection want to say through you
to the good people of Mankato, sup
port your home dealers in preference
to foreign peddlers, even at the ex.
pense of an occasional nickel, for the
Mankato grocers have, and are giving
you fruits at very reasonable prices
and on very close margins, and need
your undivided support.

THE DRINKING FOUNTAINS.

EDITOR FREE PRESS:
"Being listener at a part OF last
Saturday nights council meeting, L
was much surprised at the light way
the majority of the council treated
the humane and most important
question of drinking fountains for our
city. When a motion was made by
DR.. Andrews to bring the matter up,
the balance of the aldermen sat
there like dummies. Not one Of the
gang had the manhood to second his
motion in order that it might come be-
fore the house for friendly discussion,
as we would like to hear their rea-
sons, if they have any, for not putting
in drinking fountains. In my opinion
and the opinion of many Others whom
l have spoken with, drinking foun-
tains are badly needed.
SAT the present time there is no
public place in our city where drink
of water can be had. There are
places to water cattle, but none for
people. 1t is a we'll known fact that
children and grown people drink
water oftener than older people do,
and when they have been in a warn,
crowded church or hall for an hour or
two at "a time, they get very thirsty,
and if there was chance they would
go to the nearest drinking fountain
and would feel much refreshed after
getting a cool drink of water on their
way home. When water can't be had,
a good many go to saloons in order to
get something toquench their thirst"

A letter from far away Turkey to
to the Woman's Board of the Cotton
States and International Exposition
was received few days ago asking for
space in the woman'S building for an
exhibit from the ladies of Turkey.
The space was granted and they will
make display Of needle art and other
fancy work done by the women of
Turkey. The scope of the exhibits in
the wOman's department is widening
every day, and it will doubtless be a
thorough representation Of wOman'S
work Of the world.
The agricultural and horticultural
exhibit Of the WOman'S department of
Cotton States and International EX-
position will be one of the chief at
fractions of the coming great eXposi-

FORTY BUSHELS.

L. NJ. Anderson, whose farm is
near Eagle Lake, threshed his wheat
from a twenty-five acre field last
week and secured a yield of S97 BUSH
els. This is almost Al bushels to the
acre. We are informed that several
other farmers in that neighborhood
had yield of 40 bushels to the acre
from their wheat fields. This is al
most phenomenal, and shows the re-
markedly rich soil in this section.

fault of 5000 bonds he was committed

time time did not go on his bond or
secure him an attorney.

and Sydney via Honolulu Friday
afternoon and brought news OF reyo-
luton and bloodshed at Honolulu.

annexation commissioners, was killed
and other Government supporters were
wounded. There has been much fight
ing, and at least twelve natives have
been killed. Nearly 200 royalists are
under arrest Robert Wilcox Is the
leader OF the rebels. The fighting was
still in progress when the Alameda
left Honolulu on January IL, but the
Government forces had practically
overcome the revolutionists. On Sun
day, the 9Th inst, squad of the police
and civilian guard went to search the
house of Henry Bertelmen, a prominent
royalist, for arms. They were attack
ed by band Of natives and Charles
Carter was killed and Lieut.. Holi
wounded. Reinforcements from town
drove away the natives. The next
morning 200 Of the native insurgents,
wall and had an howitzer, attacked
Lieut.. Coynes's force Of twenty-five
regulars. twenty-five mounted police
men under President Murray, Of the
Citizens Guard. Had the natives
waited they would have annihilated
the Government force, but the shower
Of bullets and shrapnell did no harm,
and the Government forces established
a camp. In Honolulu the militia and
Citizens Guard were seen, martial law
was proclaimed and all saloons closed.
Washington, Jan II. - Minister
Thurston said, after reading the dis
patches from Hawaii: There is not
single person Of standing, RESPONSE
bility or property in any way con-

inconceivable piece Of folly, with no
possibility Of success against the Gov
ernment, and its effect will be to
the Government"
Charles Carter, the unfortunate sup
porter of the Government who was
killed in Hawaii, is known here as an
exceedingly capable and accomplished
man. He was a son of the late Min |
lister Carter.

Jersey City, Jan. 23.-The first fe-
male highwayman on the records of
Jersey City, so far as Chief Murphy
knows, was arrested in New York by
Jersey City detectives. She knocked
down Frank Fiel, twenty-five years
old, of No. 152 Railroad avenue, Jersey
City, with a sandbag and robbed him
of So at o'clock last Tuesday morn
ing. Fiel is messenger for the Penn
sylvania Railroad. A stalwart woman
without a word brought sandbag
down on the back Of his head with
force that sent him fiat upon his face.
His next recollection is that the wo-
man was rolling him over and going
through his pockets. Policeman Ack-
erman and Harrigan pursued the ANA
zon to No 123 Railroad avenue. The
next day Jessie Lewis, alias Davis,
twenty-five years old, was arrested.
She had been in Jersey City a week.
Chief Murphy says he has reason to be-
lieve that she came from Chicago and
is wanted for other crimes.
