The jury in the case of Alfred G..
Roberts came in at 1870 O'Clock Friday
afternoon, with verdict of guilty.
1t had been out since 1870 o'clock
yesterday forenoon, and during a
large part of the time stood nine for
conviction and three for acQuittal.
The court pronounced sentence on
Roberts, giving him two years at
Saltwater, and fining him $780,
Roberts, when asked whether he had
anything to say why sentence should
not be pronounced, said that he was
not guilty.
Roberts had at first looked for an
acquittal, but his attorneys were not
confident at any time, owing to the
effect which the disgusting pictures
might have on the jury. The verdict
is generally upheld as righteous.
The plaintiff in the Andrews case
was on the stand all of THURSDAY af-
ternoon and again Friday. His
witnesses have not yet all been sworn,
and the case will not be concluded be-
fore tomorrow afternoon.

ARBOR DAY.

Friday was Arbor day, and 1T was
observed in many grades of the public
schools. Studies about the kinds, uses
and beauty of trees have been given
in all grades. REGULATIONS, songs
readings that lead to knowledge of
trees and their protection have been
given. One third grade enumerates
the following uses of trees:
l. They furnish lumber to the
value of fourteen times the value of
all the gold and silver from the mines.
2. Trees furnish fuel for all people.
g.. They bear more than one hun
dred kinds of fruit.
4. They yield many kinds of nuts
for people and animals.
5. From trees we get sugar, rubber,
pitch, gums, dyes, medicines, tanning
bark, cork. spices.
6. Trees adorn and beautify this
world more than anything else.
I. They tend to retain moisture in
country, and hence the governor
urges us to study, plant and protect
trees.
s. Trees add to the healthfulness
and moderate the climate.
9. From trees paper, canoes, bas-
kets and shoes are made
10. They furnish protection to peo-
pie, crops and fiocks.
II. Because they have So much to
do with the climate, health, the flow
of streams, ETC., they are Of great in
terest to agriculture, commerce and
manufactures.
II. Their moral effect on the hearts
and lives and minds of the people are
more than their material blessings.
They enrich the taste, cultivate the
love of beauty, give healthful impress
sions that will never be obliterated.
10. According to the poets their
great worth is in the rich lessons they
teach.
IA. They greatly enrich the soil.
The object of Arbor day for Man.
kato is in teaching to love, honor and
protect the trees that so beautify and
enrich Blue Earth county.
There are no richer subjects for
study than the innumerable species
and varieties of trees that adorn our
earth,

THE OnAHA WORK.
| Several Weeks Delay in the
Grading Operations.

The prospect for the resumption of
the work of grading along the Omaha
right of way is not good, for the i'm
mediate future. 1t is now announced
that nothing more can be done until
the remainder of the right of way can
be secured, either by purchase or con-
demnation. Mr.. Noe is picking up
lot or two every few days, but there
is still a good deal of land to be Sc
cured, and condemnation proceedings
are to be resorted to. The papers
have been prepared and signed by the
proper officers in Chicago, but they
were not returned in time for Mr..
Cray to go over them carefully before
he was called to Fairmont for the
second trial of Jacob Freund. The
papers are now resting in his safe
awaiting his return at the conclusion
of that trial, which will hardly be
under two weeks After he has passed
upon the condemnation notice, it will
have to be officially published, and
then the customary time must elapse
before the court can appoint apprais-
ors. When that has been done, the

and DR.. Marshall, baritone. These
will be supported by a chorus of
seventy-five voices, assisted by Prof.
Dockstader at the piano, Miss Garlic
Haynes, organ, and the Mankato
string quartette.
The personnel of the soloists is a
sufficient guarantee of the excellence
of the entertainment, and our people
should encourage the society by giving
them a crowded house On the occasion
of their final concert.
This organization is one in which
everyone should feel personal inter-

of this concert depends it's continu-
ance, we hope that all will keep the

company can enter upon any and all
of the land described in the mott &c
Whether that time will be four, six
or eight weeks from now remains TIC
be seen. Contractor Winston has his
big scoop shovel on the way here, but
the side-track to the dirt supply by
the river cannot be laid until the
road has the right to cross the inter
vening land. In the meanwhile, a
large number of graders are idle on
our streets.
Work on the last span of the new
bridge is almost completed, and the
false work will be removed in few
days. Several men are engaged in
cutting timber on the levee and piling
it up as cordwood
There has been a good deal of NOV
ing about and building in West Man
katO, among those whose houses were
on the right of way.
S. e. Pond leased a part of River
side addition to the Omaha road for a
building, but no agreement was
reached on a price for the purchase
of any of the ground. Men went to
work on the land, however, but a
week ago today Mr.. Pond notified
them to leave, which they did, pend
ing the requirement of the land by

BRICK PAVING.
rlr. Geo. M. Palmer Strongly Adj
VOcateS 1t.

Mr.. Geo. M. Palmer spent couple
of days in Omaha this week, and in
conversation with a FREE PRESS re-
porter this morning, spoke enthusiast
tically of brick paving. Said he: cit
is burning shame to look upon our
streets. In Omaha they have consid-
cradle brick paving, most of which
has been laid three years, and it ap-
pears to be as good as the day it was
put down. l talked with quite a
number of business men and they all
expressed themselves as entirely salts
fed with brick paving, and claimed
that it would prove durable" MI.
Palmer then turned his attention to
Mankato's streets and said he did
not know of city IN the country the
size of this that did not have some
sort of paving on it's principal
business thoroughfares. He feels,
and we all do, that strangers coming
here in wet weather gain very poor
opinion of the city from the inexcusa-
BILE condition of our streets.
There is no one feature connected
with our municipal affairs so absolute
ly needful as paving, and it is hoped
that the committee to whom the
Jackson street paving was referred
will report favorably, and that the
council will order the work done
forthwith.
