The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1896-12-11

THE Minneapolis Journal of last
evening contains a special telegram
from Vermillion, S. D., claiming that
a letter had been received from Con-
gresham McCleary by F. M. Bailey,
editor of the Clay county Freeman, in
which he announced his candidacy
for Secretary of the Treasury of the
United States. 1t is also claimed that
Mr.. McCleary has an intimate &C
quaintance with Mr.. Bailey that has
existed for many years, and that the
letter was not confidential. The
Journal with it's usual enterprise, en-
d eavored to verify the announcement
by getting into communication with
our congressman. but as he was not
to be found either in Mankato or
Washington, nothing direct from him
could be secured. The FREE PRESS
is in no position to make good guess
as to the authenticity of the state
ment, but it somewhat questions the
accuracy Of the Journals information
pending word from Congressman
McCleary. If, however, the state
ment Of his candidacy is found to be
correct, Mr.. McCleary's second dis
trict friends will not be the least
among his host of admiring acquaint-
ances to join in commencing his spe-
cial and splendid qualifications to
President-elect Mckinley for thought
full and serious consideration.

IN SOCIAL CIRCLES.
A Pleasant Informal Party Given by
the knights of PythiaS.

The informal social party given by
Mankato lodge No. SO, Knights of

ATTENTIONS COMRADES.

We can hardly realize that another
year has passed and that Memorial
Day is again here. Time has passed
on fieetest wings since we met with our
our annual offering of sweet flowers to
mark the resting places Of our fallen
heroes.
We would be not less true in honor
ing them this year. We realize too
keenly that these sacred mounds are
fast increasing in number, while our
ranks are thinning. The effects of the
hardships incident to army life are
fastening the day as age advances,
when we, too, shall be called by the
Great Commander to join the ranks of
the promoted, across the river TO re-
ceive the reward of the faithful where
the larger part OF our army is now
gathered. 1t is needful that this day
OF flowers should teach the gratitude
OF nation for her preservers, and the
children be taught to observe it and
understand its lessons.
Memorial Sunday, May "A, will be
observed in Bedding by holding union
service at the Opera house. Rev. B.
V. Child will preach the Memorial
sermon at 1890 a. IN. Comrades of the
G. A. r. and ladies of the Women e
Relief Corps will meet at G. A. II. hall
at $3.50 a. m. All soldiers and wives
are invited to join with us in all our
Memorial services.
The Memorial Day address will be
delivered at Smyrna at 10 a. m, May
80, by Hon. A. b. Morse. After the
services the picnic dinner will be
served to all soldiers and families. The
graves of the Smyrna soldiers will first
be visited and remembered with the
floral offerings; then the Cooks Cor,
ners cemetery: and afterwards the old
cemetery at Bedding.

Their Reports Make "a Fine Showing and
Prove Good Management.
The reports of the Bedding and Peo-
pies Savings Banks published today are
indicative of their soundness and pros
perity and the excellent showing made
is creditable indeed TO the manage
ment OF each of these institutions.
Banks in this state are called upon
by the State Bank Commissioner Sher-
wood, OF Lansing to report their condi-
tion at least four times year and it is
optional with him whether it shall be
more than that number. The Cashiers
do not know when a call for a report is
TO be made and they must have their
business and records in such shape as
TO be able to respond any day men,
toned by the Commissioner regardless
of conditions. The total amount of re-
sources of the Bedding Savings Bank is
SIG, 564.56 that of the Peoples isSl00,
S8414.
The law requires that the percent OF
monies deposited to be always kept on
hand must not fall below fifteen per
cent. The former has over 20 per cent
on hand and the latter over 25 per cent.

Last weeks Star said: ''The city
printing was given to the BANNER at
the same rate that was charged last
year, which is more than it cost the
city for publishing the proceedings in
both the BANNER and the Star the
year before" The Stars reputation
for mis-statements and getting things
twisted is first class, so we are not
particularly surprised at the publica-
tion OF the above falsehood The
editor knew better when he wrote IL
or could have found out with but very
little trouble. The first two years OF
the city organization the printing OF
the proceedings was given to both
papers and each were paid s25 per
year. Last year it was considered
unnecessary TO continue it in both. so
the Star was dropped, and they were
printed in the BANNER at the same
rate as before, s25 per year, and which
arrangement was renewed by the
present council.
