other free silver organs, is that too
much truth is impaired by Arch
bishop Ireland, and when he says that
the movement which had it's express
sion in the Chicago convention and
which now seeks to enthrone itself in
the capital of the nation is in it's
logical effect against the United
States, he speaks as patriot against
a menace to our free institutions.
Indeed the fearless prelate boldly
characterizes it as secession" and
likens it to the secession of 1861,
(which our soldiers believed they
had consigned to eternal death at APP
pomattoX, but which demands recog-
milton again from the American peo-
pie"
There is nothing in the letter to
condemn but everything to commend.
1t is calm, considerable, dispassion-
ate and patriotic. 1t is strong ap-
peal from man VINO is greatly below
ed for his pure Christian character
and great patriotism and loyalty. 1t
is strong appeal from one whose
life's work has been devoted to the
betterment Of the social and moral
conditions of humanity, and true
friend of labor.
Only those who feel the sting of
the ArchbishOp's truthful words can
find any fault with his patriotic ut
teranceS.

We live in country of which the
principal scourge is stomach-trouble.
1t is more widespread than any
other disease, and, very nearly, more
dangerous.
One thing that makes it so danger
Gus is that it is so little understood.
If it were better understood, it
would be more feared, more easily
cured, less universal than it is now
So, those who wish to be cured, take
Shaker Digestive Cordial, because it
goes to the root of the trouble as no
other medicine does. The pure, harm
less, curative herbs and plants, of
which it is composed, are what render
it so certain and, at the same time, so
gentle cure,
1t helps and strengthens the
stomach, purifies and tones up the
system.

KNEW THE ROBBER.
He is Thought to have Been in Man.
kato i'm August.

]. J. Moore, of Mason City, Iowa,
who travels for the w. II. Goodyear
Shoe Co., of Rochester, called on his
customers IN this city today. To a
FREE PRESS reporter, Mr.. Moore
stated that he knew the dead Sher-
burn bank robber when the latter
lived in Mason City. The man went
under the name Of Jesse Lake there,
but his true name was DeSair. He
clerked in store and appeared to live
more extensively than his salary
would warrant, so he was discharged
about two months ago. The man was
an athelete and bicycle racer and had
a splendid physique. Mr.. Moore does
not believe that vhe two robbers were
brothers,
II the latter part of August, bicy-
Gle rider answering the description of
the dead robber exactly called at L.
w. Harris shoe store to have one of
his shoes repaired. Mr.. Hart could
learn nothing from him in reply to
his questions, and the fellow read
several papers hastily while waiting
for his shoe. Mr.. Hart is convinced
that it was the same man. DeSair
left Mason City, Iowa, on his wheel
two months ago, and seems to have
spent considerable time in Southern
Minnesota

FINISHED.
ONLY ANOTHER MONTHS WORK
ON THE Or1AHA,
The New Location of the Freight De-
pot Has Finally Been Decided Upon
--COntract For Moving the Depot
NewsROad by Nov. Ist--Old Track
Will be Torn up Next Year.

1t has been decided where the new
location of the Omaha freight depot
shall be. The depot will be located
beside the new right-Of-way on three
fractional lots purchased for the pur-
pose. The location is about opposite
the center of the block between jack
son and Hickory streets, and is nearly
opposite the Milwaukee freight de-
pot, across the Milwaukee right-Of-
way. The approach will be by way of
Jackson street, thence north along
Pike street, west of the Milwaukee
track to the property on which the
depot is located The east half of
Pike street is occupied by the Mil
waukee road, but the west half will
be graded up by the Omaha road, and
the lots which it has purchased will
also be filed up.
The only land taken from L. G. M.
Fletcher is the right-of-way for which
he asked $4,000. At this valuation it
was thought that he would want $780,
600 for the lots at the foot of Jackson
street, where it would have been a
little more convenient for the public
to have had the depot, but not more
convenient for the road. AS it is, the
depot will be half block away from
the continuation of Jackson street.
The present freight depot will be
used and will be moved over to the
new location. 1t was built about
eighteen months ago to replace the
one destroyed by fire, and is as good
as new and large enough for present
purposes. Contractor Budde is said
to have received the contract for it's
removal.
1t is hoped to have trains running
regularly over the new road by Nov.
1st or Nov. 18th at the latest. All of
the grading, building and construc-
tion contracts will be completed by
that time.
The new passenger depot is we'll on
toward enclosure. The roof has been
placed over the baggage part. and the
broad caves extend out over the plat
! form.
When the riprapping will be done it
is hard to say, but it will probably be
done during the winter after the sand
on the outer edge of the fill has
frozen.
The present track through the city
will not be disturbed before next
year, as the spring freshets might
damage the new fill to such an extent
as to interrupt travel. The road was
given three years in which to remove
the present track, but it will undoubt-
eddy be torn up next summer. The
trestle across the slough can hardly be
safe more than couple of years, and
then the track there will also be
taken up.
The automatic gates at the east
end of the Minnesota river bridge have
been contracted for and the tower
will be put up soon, so that the pub
lie will have protection at that cross
ing.
The work on these great improve
ments has progressed so far that it can
truthfully be said at this time that
only the finishing touches remain to
be put on. In another month every
thing will be completed.

ARCHBISHOP IRELAND's impreg-
nable alignment of all the forces of
law and order and all the agencies of
religion and morality under the ban
ner of Mckinley and sound money has
caused the postmaster editor OF the
Reuieso to cry out in pitiable tones.
Our neighbor down the street thinks
that the worthy prelate has expressed
himself in terms of extravaganza un-
worthy the archbishop" Is it "un-
worthy" the cause of Christian teach
ings for an ecclesiast, speaking as a
patriotic citizen of the republic, to
dispassionately discuss great moral
questions even though they be asso-
ciated with politics? II so, then the
great teachers of religion and of
morals all over this country are sun
worthy" for they are almost a unit
in the defense of the sound money
platform in this campaign-not alone
because the financial credit of the ma
tion is threatened, but as well because
the contest involves questions of law
and order and of individual integrity.
If it has come to such a pass that
the church cannot champion these
great and vital interests, without be-
ing characterized as 'unworthy," for
what purpose is the church maintain
ed and wherein is it's teachings to be-
nefit mankind to betterment of
social and moral conditions?
