Liquor Licenses will then Cost ST., 700
in Mankato.

1t has been stated that the liquor
licenses in Mankato would not advance
to 81 900 until the presentation of the
official report of the census to the
next legislature, which cannot be done
until January, 1897. City Attorney
Pau was asked by FREE PRESS re-
porter in regard to the matter this
morning, and said, after reading over
both the census and the liquor license
avs: "In my opinion the report is
without foundation. There is moth
ing in the census law that can be con-
strued that way. The census official
makes his report on or before next
January by publishing it, and that is
the only PRONUNCIATION required to
cause the increase in the amount of
the liquor license fee from $500 to
$1,000, according to the provisions of
the high license law as applied to this
city, the population having crossed
the 10000 line. The bulletins being
issued have no legal effect. as the CEN
sus is not complete until the count of
the entire state has been finished and
published"
Section Is, of the census law reads
as follows: The compilation and pub
LEGATION of the census shall be COM
pleted not later than the first day of
January, 1896, and the perintendent
of census shall cause to be published
10000 copies of said census, and shall

of state shall cause to be published a
special report to the next legislature
which shall show the number Of legal
voters, by senatorial districts, residing
in this state at the time of the cen
sus was taken" etc.

and nothing is required in it as to the
number of inhabitants. 1t is section

of the brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs. T..
G. Peart, in Belgrade township, Nicol-
let county, about four miles from this

Omaha road for the Twin Cities, and
will 60 to Duluth. After an absence

Thunder, where Mr.. Parry has the
principalship of the schools. They
will be sat home" there after Sept.
goth.

kato, having been reared so close by

SEVERELY HURT.
John B. Nelson's Little Daughter In.
jured Monday Evening.

The little eight year old daughter of
John B. Nelson, living at 514 South
Front street, met with severe acct
dent Monday While pushing ethe
box of the wooden swing, in which
there was several small children, at
S. G. Soule's, she was caught under it
in some way, and sustained fracture
of the bone of her left thigh. She
was carefully taken by kind neighbors
to the home of her sisters, 1014 South
Front street, and DR.. Davis was sent
for. Chloroform was administered
and an examination made, when it
was revealed that the thigh bone was
broken at about it's middle. While
still under chloroform, the fracture
was adjusted and the dressing applied
to the limb, so that she suffered no
pain during this operation. She is re-
ported as having rested quite we'll last
night, in her cramped position, and
feeling cheerful today.

THE HORN OF PLENTY.

In commenting upon the crop pros
poets of the west and northwest, the
Chicago Inter Ocean says: "But the
great crop of the season promises to be
corn. 1t has now come so near the
point of maturity that there is very
little fear of any serious damage from
any cause. The acreage was never so
great, 81, 690,S00 acres, and the pros
poets for yield per acre were never
better. Last year the estimate in De-
cember was ], 212, no, 052 bushels. The
highest mark ever reached was 2,1l2,-
1000 bushels. That was in 1889,
when the acreage was 1888, Col acres.
1t is believed that the yield will be as
heavy per acre this year as then.
With our railway facilities any def
cheney in hay can be made up by the
abundance in corn. The prospect is
that the European demand for our
surplus will be enormous, keeping up
the price fairly well.
"The cattle have had such good pas
turage on the ranges, as well as the
farms, that they will require less corn
per head to be fit for slaughter. But
the tendency of farmers is more and
more to ship their corn in the concen-
trated form of hogs.
early in the season there was a
great deal of fear for the fruit crop,
but the trees are we'll loaded now.
Colorado alone, a state not much
thought of in connection with fruit
raising, will have, it is thought 5,00O,-
600 pounds. Plenty of fruit means
luxury as well as comfort and health.
"Clearly it will not be natures fault
if hard times linger. Heavy crops
will benefit all classes, for agriculture
is the basis of prosperity. Largely in
proportion as the farmers have large
crops and good prices will trade be
active and collections good. Other
factors enter into the problem, but
certain it is that there can be no con-
siderable thrift without good crops"

QUIETLY Welded.

A. Anderson, the engraver, and
Miss Hilda, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
j. S. Rolf, were married at 800 p, m.
Sunday at the residence of the brides
parents in North Mankato. Rev.
VIM. Erickson, pastor of the Swedish
Lutheran church, performed the cere-
mony in the presence of few friends
and relatives. The bride received
some appropriate and useful presents.
After the ceremony refreshments
were served, and then the newly mar
ried couple repaired to their cozy new
home beyond the school house, which
Mr.. Anderson has just completed.

not yet been informed as to what
changes will be made, beyond the fact
that the new schedule will be very IA
vorable for Mankato. Another train
will be added, making three between
Mankato and Wells. For long time
past there has been complaint along
the branch in regard to the running
time of trains, and it is expected that

fects in the present one.

THE CONDITION OF TRADE.

Concerning the condition of trade
for the past week r. G. Dun & Co.
in their report say: Tits belated
season; a frozen May set everything
back. The heavy business which
ought to have been done in May and
June was pushed into July, so that
the midsummer decline due in July
comes IN August. With this in mind,
one is not surprised to find the shrink
age from July to August rather more
conspicuous than usual. The disap-
pointing crop reports of last Saturday,
though evidently distrusted, lessen
confidence in regard to the future of
trade, even while some spectators
gain by them.
"Back of all doubts is the fact that
the industries are doing better than
anybody could have expected. The
output of pig iron Aug. was $50, 252
tons weekly, or 176, 5O5 by another re-
port-in either case close to the
largest output in 1898, though surpass-
ed $4,000 tons in the spring of 1892.
Unsold stocks are S8,07S tons smaller,
the great steel companies have made
heavy purchases in advance of needs,
but the actual consumption is large,
and prices rise in the face of the in
creasing output. Bessemer iron is
S1415 at Pittsburg, and plates have
advanced 81 per ton. The sales of
steel rails in 1896 to Aug. were $780,
900 tons, and the deliveries $4,000.
Wages in this industry have been
generally advanced and strikes are
few"
They also state that the textile
imports have been very heavy, and
that the sales of foreign wool have
been large, reaching 6,313,600 pounds
domestic and 5,279,9 900 pounds foreign
for this month, against 12,S70,65
pounds domestic and l 1902, 800 pounds
foreign last year. Crop reports have
been somewhat varied and on the
whole not as good as for some of the
weeks previous, but did not serve to
strengthen prices. Of exports Brad
streets says: export of wheat and
flour during seven weeks of the new
cereal year amount, in round num-
bers, to $4,000, 900 bushels. In the like
period one year ago the total exported
was 100000 bushels; two years ago
it was 100000 bushels; in 1892 it
was q 100000 bushels, and in 1891,
25,OOO,O 900 bushels"
