FREE DELIVERY REFUSED.
North Siders rlust Get Their Mail
in MankatO.

Nearly a year ago, W. r. Geddes
started movement for the free de-
livery of mail in North Mankato, and
elected considerable support. To
day he received a letter from the first
assistant postmaster general refusing
to grant the request, on the ground
that there is only 800 population on
the north side. Mr.. Geddes also ap-
piled for branch postoffice at the
same time, but no reference to this is
made in the letter, and efforts to OBJ
tain this will be renewed. Not hav-
ing mail service is a great disadvan-
tage to that suburb.

A TRAGIC DEATH.
A Normal Graduate Shot by a
Soldier

I 0OhaASA
Word has been received of the
death of Jay Livingston, who gradu-
ated from the Normal school in 1881,
and who found employment in this
city for a time. His classmate, Clay
ton Kennedy, has received Sundays
San Francisco Eranraner, giving full
account of the young mans death,
which occurred Saturday at Fort Mo
brara, Neb.
Mr.. Livingston, some time after his
graduation, enlisted in the regular
army, and was promoted to be first
sergeant. A private of his company,
G. Twelfth Infantry, named Weaver,
maddened by prolonged course of
drinking and smarting under an al
legged affront, murdered Sergeant
Livingston and, after attempting to
kill four other men, was shot and
killed by fellow soldier, acting I'M
der orders.
During Viewers spree, Sergeant
Livingston had ordered him from the
barracks for using vile language and he
had to be elected by two soldiers. He
struggled fiercely and swore he would
get even with the sergeant. He
sobered up in the guard house, apollo
gized to Livingston, and upon the
sergeant's intercesSion was released.
The affair was not forgotten, however,
and when Weaver again fell under
the influence of drink he made good
his threat When Sergeant Living
ston came up the road Saturday mornss
ing, Weaver hailed him, with good
morning, Sergeant, and raising his
gun to his shoulder, said: "I'm going
to shoot your AS the words left his
lips he fired and the sergeant fell to
the ground shot through the heart.
Attempts were made to disarm
Weaver, but he commenced firing
right and left. Finally Lieut.. Clark
ordered one of the guards to fire at
his legs, to secure him. The ball
struck the magazine of Weaver's rifle,
SCATTERING it, fragments entering
his groin, resulting in his death
shortly afterwards.
The dispatch adds:
Sergeant Livingston was a model
soldier and was we'll liked by his su-
perior officers. He was not a great
favorite among the men, his ideas of
military discipline being perhaps a
little too severe to suit their notions,
but otherwise they had nothing
against him. His home was
at Mankato, Mimi. The man
who shot Weaver was an intimate
friend of his, but he dared not dis
obey the orders of the officer who
commanded him to fire."
Sergeant Livingston was buried
Sunday with military honors, but
Weaver was given private burial.
Livingston's hOme,was near FairmOnt.
The season for using binding Irvine
is near at hand. Every farmer wants
the best Irvine to be had, and he will
find as good grade of Irvine as there
is in the market, and at as low a
price at Ed. Schumacher's, 800 North
Front street. Be sure and see him
before you buy.

it in their interest to see j. G.. Roller

Thought.

Thought Of any kind, to be valuable,
must be conservative-that Is, it must
hold with firm grasp all the truth that
the past has handed down. It must
accept humbly and reverently that
which the wisdom of the ages has
stored up, and so thoroughly incorpor-
ate it that it may form it's very bone
and muscle. Only thus can it acquire
stability or permanence. At the same
time 1t must be expansive, it must have
the power Of growth, 1t must be hos
pitable to new truths and fresh
thoughts, willing to pursue inquiries
to attack difficulties, to solve knotty
problems. Thus only can it hand down
to posterity something worthy Of It's
acceptance, and pay to the future the
debt it owes to the past.
