ONLY ONE CHANGE.
Result of the School Board Election
Saturday.

The only interesting contest in Sat-
urday's school board election was in
the first precinct, where L. q. M.
Fletcher was opposed by Adolph
Deebach. Both are good fighters, but
Mr.. Deebach will have to take some
pointers from Mr.. Fletcher. A large
vote was polled, 451 ballots being cast,
and of these Mr.. Fletcher received
244, while Mr.. Deebach's share was
POI. A large number of ladies voted.
Mr.. Deebach was confident of success
until shortly before the polls closed,
when Mr.. Fletcher's reserve contin-
gent appeared on the scene and car
ried the day. Capt Keysor had no op-
position in the second precinct, and
III. l. Parry was elected in the third,
his vote being 81 to six cast for W. w.
P. Mcconnell, who was not a candi-
date and discouraged the use of his
name.
G. P. Williams was reelected by a
good majority in the fourth precinct.

THE WORKMEN PICNIC.
Yesterdays Excursion to Fairmont
Pleasant Affair.

The eXcurSiOniStS who spent Thurs
day at Fairmont speak in the highest
terms of the days program. Nearly
500 members of the order of United
Workmen from half a dozen Southern
Minnesota towns were present, and
as many other strangers participated
in the pleasures of the day. 1t was
great day for Fairmont, and every
thing passed of without hitch.
When the excursion train arrived
in Fairmont, parade was formed
and the march to the picnic grounds
taken up. Several bands were in
line, and twenty-five industrial floats
brought up the rear. The latter were
very creditable. 1t was during the
parade that the only accident occurr-
ed, the team drawing a furniture
float running away. Six girls were
on the float, and in the smashup that
occurred one was injured.
After arriving at the park, band
concert was given, in which the
Mankato band won many compli-
ments, more than holding it's own
with the other bands.
A picnic dinner was served in the
park at noon, and this was followed
by speech making by grand lodge
officers and visiting brothers.
The ball game between the Man
kato and Winnebago City clubs in
the afternoon was witnessed by a
large crowd 1t was an excellent
game, and the Winnebagoes did not
score until the fifth inning, and the
Mankatos not until the fourth. The
game resulted in a victory for the
Mankato boys by score of eight to
two.
The steamers and row boats on the
beautiful lakes did lively business.
Great credit is due to Agent
Moore. and Geo. M. Phillips for the
courteous and efficient manner in
which they managed the excursion,
and they added much to the pleasure
of the day.
The donkey and goat were fea.
ture of the day and had a prominent
place in the parade. They were es.
pecially in evidence in changing cars.

Is A CANDIDATE.
Attorney Byron Hughes to be Con
gresham McCleary's Antagonist.

Attorney Byron Hughes was asked
by FREE PRESS reporter today in re-
gard to his candidacy for the Demo
cratic and Populist nominations for
congressman in this district. He
stated that he is candidate, and
thus far sees no opposition. Said he:
Il have been for free silver for four
or five years, and shall make the fight
sQuarely on the money question, if
nominated. l think l can meet Con-
gresham McCleary's arguments, and
shall not be afraid to try it, anyway.
l have some reason to hope that the
Populists will endorse me if l get the
Democratic nomination, and also that
the free silver Republicans of the dis
trict will back me up. With such a
combination, there would be no odds
on either side in the fight. The con-
test will be clean one, for 1 would
not go into any other kind of a cam
paign."

SEVEN WILL RETAIN.
Capt. Messerly Cannot Deliver His
Goods to WinOna.

The ball team left for Winona
early Saturday to play there Satur-
day and Sunday. Maryott and
Noyes did not gothic latter eversleep-
ing. The most of the team is ex-
pected back Monday, for five have
promised to come back.
Fri day morning it did not look
as though more than one of the team
would sign with the new association,
but some hard work was put in all
day and late into the evening, with
good results. Maryott was the first
to sign, then Noyes put his name to
a contract, and Phillips and Jones fol-
lowed suit. We have it on good au-
thority that Page and Hopkins also
signed. Young agreed to sign if Page
or Hopkins would, and he is also ex-
pected to return Monday and remain
in Mankato. This will make seven
of the old Maroons, and no more of
them are wanted.
Capt. Messerly, seeing how the tide
was setting toward Mankato. sent
an emissary to the association
with the request to be taken into the
fold. The request was refused, al
though some favored giving him back
his position, and Mr.. Messerly
will know Mankato no more
this season, unless as a stran-
ger. None in the new
association wanted Often, whose poor
work at the bat has disguised the
spectators again and again during the
season. He would not attempt to
make hits, but played to take his base
on balls.
1t is expected that Capt. Black, of
LIE Mars, Iowa, will be heard from
this evening, in answer to letter
sent him yesterday. Schwartz, the
excellent catcher of the Winnebago
City club, and Page, of Austin, may
be invited to join the team, which will
complete it. 1t is thought that Part
ridge may return later in the summer.
What is needed is another pitcher.
The directors of the new association
held a meeting at four o'clock this
afternoon to talk over the situation
and prepare bylaws.

TROUBLE in CAMP.
A Secret Meeting is Held by
the Council Saturday
Night
With the Result That City Recorder
Smith May Resign His Office
Aug. Ist.
OFFICIALS ARE KEEPING MUM.

After the adjournment of the coun
Gil Saturday night, the members held
secret meeting in an adjoining room
and discussed at some length City
Recorder Smith. There has been for
a long time some fault found with the
recorder by several members of the
council. Our readers will remember
that difficulty existed number of
months ago, at which time matters
were patched up by the appointment
of Harry Brown as assistant recorder.
Things went along smoothly for
time, but lately the old difficulty
broke out anew, until Saturday night
the focal point was reached,
Mr.. Smith was seen this afternoon
by a FREE PRESS reporter, but de-
clined to say whether he should re-
sign or not. He said he expected to
take trip for his health the first of
the month and that he had not fully
made up his mind what, if anything,
he should do about his official posi-
tion until his return home. From
another source and one that may be
considered reliable, the FREE PRESS
is informed that Mr.. Smith will sever
his connection with the city admins
tration August 1st. This action, is
authoritatively stated, will be in &C
cordance with the expressed wishes
of the council.

BODY RECOVERED.

The body Of John II. Jones, nephew
of Sheriff Bowen, the young man who
was drowned in the Frying Pan river,
Colorado, on the 18th of June, notice
of which was given in these columns
at the time, was srecovered Friday.
Ed. Jones, of Tracy, brother of de-
ceased, left last evening for Aspen,
and will bring the body home for
burial. The family offered 5000 re-
ward for the recovery of the body, and
the printers union of Aspen took hold
of the matter and through that organ
ization the body was found.
1t is expected that the funeral will
occur at Tracy next Friday.

Are you feeling as well as this or are

spirited and worn out? If so, why not
follow the example of the thousands
who keep their systems in splendid con-
dition by using Duffy's Pure Malt
Whisky? Everybody who tries it finds
it has a wonderful effect on the eircula-
tion; that it gives tone to every part Of
the body and adds zest to life that
nothing else can produce. This is be-
cause it is not an ordinary whisky, but
a pure, healthful stimu1ant which
quickens the blood, arouses the tagging
energies and makes all who take it
feel strong, healthy and well.
