s.our Lady of Guadalupe.

In relation to the national political significance of the Virgin of Guada- lnpe to the Mexican people, the Mex ican Herald says of the legend. "The causes of it's prominence are exactly those which should secure its im- munity from attack on the part of for eigners or those associated with foreigners. "Our Lady of Guadalupe" was the rallying cry of the first insur- gents against Spain The struggle for independence, owing to the ascend ancy in Spain of France, then regard ed as an infidel power took the form
 in the eyes of many MeyicaDs, of a re- ligious war. It was on that account that Hidalgo embroidered the image of the Virgin of Guadalupe on his standard. To thousands this day that image is regarded as the symbol of Mexican nationality The popular feeling in this country at seeing the symbol of national existence assailed by foreigners, or by natives who are believed to be inspired by foreigners (which comes to the same thing may be gauged by imagining the storm Of fury that wound have borne down q group of Englishmen who should have been ill-judged enough to circulate yirulent attacks OF the character of George Washington during the Gen. tennial celebration at Philadelphia.

The County Officials.

On next Monday the old regime at
the court house will be ushered out
and the new one will assume control
of affairs. They are good boys every
one-and that they will fill their Of
fees with credit to themselves and
to their friends there can be no doubt.
The political enmities will be for
gotten, and no matter whether you
were populist or democrat your bus
mess will be as cheerfully attended to
as though you were heart and soul for
them at election time. The roster is.
as follows:
Clerk of the Courts = Stephen
Thorne.
Treasurer-William Lloyd.
Register of Deeds-O. Bierbauer.
Sheriff-Daniel It. Bowen.
Auditor-P. A. Gunders.
Probate Judge-George w. Mead.
School superintendent George w
Scherer
County Surveyor-A. NJ. Haynes.
County Attorney-C. l.. Benedict.
Coroner. E. Paddock.

willing hand has plenty.to do. There
are no vacant store rooms and no s'For
Rent cards to deface the residence
properly. These are the infallible
birth-fnarks by which the stranger
searching for safe place to invest his
money will distinguish Mankato
among thousand.
Rents are cheap. Comfortable and
modern dwellings may be secured for
$40, $15 and at the most 500 per month.
Excellent board can be had for $3.50
and S. and rooms at 81, $3.50 and 81
per week.
The PARKWAY friend who receives
this copy of the FIRE PRESS may
weigh these facts well. If you are
tired OF your eastern home-if adverse
winds sit in your sails, tack a little
and drift to Mankato and by honesty
and industry fortune may be yours.
CONE!

BRIGHT PROSPECTS.

Congressman McCleary is Wide
Awake to MankatO's Public Build
ing.
The following letter received this
afternoon from Congressman McCleary
will prove interesting sreading to our
people, and it shows that he is looking
sharply after our interests:
WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 81, 81
THE FREE PRESS,
MankatO, Mimi.
1t seems probable that we shall Sc
cure the addition to our public build
ing. After reviewing the situation
with me, the supervising architect
has this day, at my request, ordered
the preparation Of the plans. No esti-
mates Of cost are to be made here but
the plans will be forwarded TO Manka-
to see how mnch, the contractor will
build the addition for. If the bid is
regarded as reasonable it is more than
probable that it will be accepted and
the work ordered. So the good
work already done at that end of the
line will have to be continued. You
must see to it that the bid is one that
will be accepted. The delegation as a
whole is cooperating with me in this
matter. Where all have aided so COR
daily it would be inyidiOus to make
any special mention.
Yours very truly,
j. T. MCCLEARY.

last year in the little spot on the hill

beautiful in the extreme. w G.. Jew
son has been one of the trustees for
nearly fourteen years, and has been

The Stone OuarrieS.

The stone quarries are one of Man
kato's most important industries, and
they have all done fair business
this year. Many good contracts have
been secured outside of the city, and
the shipments will considerably ex-
coed those of last year-probably an
increase of one-third in the total
number of carloads. Not a bad
showing.

of the past in the way Of construction
of business blocks, nearly 100000
worth of buildings having already
been projected.
Mankato has passed that period in
her history when two-story block
will suffice. 1t must be an imposing
three-story building with modern i'm
provements, and our property owners,
fully alive to the growing demands of
the city, are letting contracts for
just this kind of buildings.
Among those projected and assured
for next year and upon some of which
plans have already been made are the
following:

SOME ANCIENT CLUBS.

From the Chicago News.
Clubs are not modern institutions. Tn
the ancient days of Greece the men of
Athens combined for social intercourse
In Rome the earliest clubs were the trade
guilds founded by Numa Pompilius In 720
Ii. C., similar TO the guilds of the crafts
men which played so important "a part IN
the history of the middle ages. At one
time there were eighty of these guilds in
Rome alone and they were not confined
entirely to the metropolis, either. Very
closely allied to the Masonic society Of
our day were the societies formed through
out the Roman empire for the practice
OF religious rites unknown to the states,
except that our Masonic societies violate
no laws. Even the slaves in Rome formed
clubs Of their own. which somewhat re-
sembled trade unions Although military
clubs were prob .bited, yet they were toll
Grated among the officers of regiments in
foreign service. The rules OF a. club In a
regiment on duty In Africa have been dis
covered on the site of a. Roman encamp-
ment. They showed that the annual dues
were about $12j.
Even women's clubs are not of recent
date. The Roman matrons had many
such gatherings, some for religious. some
for social purposes. The most celebrated
OF these was the "Senate of Matrons."
Connected with 1t was n debating society
In which momentous questions OF dress
and etiquette were discussed much as they
are at the present time. In both Greece
and Rome political clubs were common and
the aristocrats and democrats advanced
their views much as they do today. Club
houses were few in number because the
meetings were usually held out of doors.
From the time before Christ to the time
Of Henry ~ is long step, but investiga-
tion fails to show that there were any
clubs during that period. The first def
mite information WE have concerning an
English club is given by Thomas Oc-
cleve. the poet. who. with Chaucer, be-
