HARRISON DECLINES.

EX-President Harrison has written
a letter to the chairman of the In
diana, Republican state committee in
which he declines absolutely to allow
his name to be presented at the ma
tional committee at St. Louis next
June as presidential candidate.
There has never been an hour since
he left the White House, he says, that
he has any desire to return. Ger
tainly there is no additional honor in
it for him, and there would be many
veXations attached thereto. The
FREE PRESS has never regarded that
Mr.. Harrison stood in any danger of
being nominated at ST. Louis next
June, or that his chances would par
ticularly grow easier than now. But
the Republicans of his own state have
signified an intention of sending a
solid delegation to ST. Louis in his be-
half, and it was right that he should
inform them of his desires, and
through them his friends elsewhere.
and in so declining he has materially
increased the respect of the nation fol-
him. AS to which one of the other
aspirants will profit most by his de.
clination to be candidate, it is hard
to say. In fact we don't believe that
the Harrison sentiment had crystal
lied to an extent that it is likely tt
go in much of body to any one can
didate. Doubtless Mckinley will
profit as much as any one by it in In
diana, but it is more than probable
that the delegation from that state
will be more or less divided. The
friends of the different aspirants, Of
course, all claim that his letter will
help their particular man.

WILL NOT RESIGN.
City Recorder Smith Will Appoint a
Deputy Temporarily.


City Recorder Smith, though still
unWell, was at his usual place at the
city hall this afternoon. Regarding
the rumor that he had been asked to
resign, he said to the FREE PRESS:
sit is true that the council and
mayor have united in signing a re
quest that [ should resign my office.
No reason is assigned for their action,
and none of them have said anything
to me in the way of complaint or sug-
gestion since last summer, when there
was a little trouble. | do not intend
to resign, however, and if they have
charges to prefer they should do so. 1
shall appoint a clerk to help me get
Strengthened out, and will probably
name III. w. Brown to that position
this afternoon, as he is as competent
man as / can find.
''The trouble is that they expect
the city recorder to do twelve hours
work every day, and for some days
back my health has not permitted me
to work SO hard. If they lay the mat
ter to anything else, they are away off.
sin regard to my last two monthly
reports, l would say that the charter
does not require the recorder to report
to the council, and it has never been
done until | came into the office. The
money is all in the bank or in the
vault at the city hall, and everything
is as straight as a string as regards
the accounts of the office"
Mr.. Smith has been quite ill for two
or three days, but is somewhat better.
The request which the council sent
to Mr.. Smith, asking him to tender
his resignation as soon as convenient,
was formulated at a secret meeting
of the mayor and aldermen after the
regular meeting Saturday night. 1t
was intended that the matter should
be kept still, out of respect for Mr..
Smith, toward whom personally all
profess to have the kindliest feelings,
and for that reason we refrained from
mentioning the matter yesterday.
We understand that the council
will look with satisfaction upon the
appointment of deputy, as this was
discussed favorably at the recent
meeting. The names of II. W. Brown
and L. o. Randall were mentioned at
this meeting, and there is little doubt
but what the appointment of either
one will be confirmed at the next
meeting, or special meeting ap-
pointed for the purpose.
Mr. Smith believes that he can dis
charge the duties of the office in a
satisfactory manner, with little aid
during this time of extra work, with
the preparation of his annual report
coming on. The matter is an unfortu-
nate one, which cannot but be re-
gretted by all parties.

SHALL WE HAVE IT?
The Norwegian Lutheran Singers
Union Can Be Had for It's
Annual Meeting.
A MATTER WORTH CONSIDERING.

Along the latter part of May or
June of this year the Norwegian
Lutheran Singers Union will hold it's
annual gathering, and Mankato can
secure it if the disposition in that
direction is sufficiently crystalized for
action.
At the meeting held in Minneapolis
last year about four hundred mem
bers attended the meeting and it is
expected that an equal number will
attend this year. There are several
enterprising cities in market for this
convention, and if Mankato gets it
there is no time to waste in chewing
the quid. In addition to the regular
members of the Union it is believed
that from two to three hundred
visitors would be attracted to the
city. Therefore if we get a dele
CATION of six or seven hundred
strangers within our gates for three
or four days, through a little effort,
it is certainly worth trying. And
again, the class of people who belong
to this organization are among the
very prominent in the country.
The matter is now being considered
by the Scandinavian church societies
of the city, and a meeting of COM
mittee from some of those societies
will he held tOniuht Tn diScuSS tho
feasibility of making an attempt to
invite the convention to come here.
If such an effort is made, it will be
necessary for general assistance on
the part of our citizens, as free enter
tainment will have to be accorded all
members of the visiting society. 1t
is believed that enough of our people
can be secured who will pledge them
selves to open their homes for such
purpose.

JANUARY HUMANE WORK.
Report of Agent Sheldon for Five
Weeks.

Humane Agent Sheldon has pre-
pared written report from Dec. 23rd
to Feb. 1st, from which we Gull
the following information concerning
the work done by him during that
time.
Seven cases of neglected stock were
investigated, twelve teams were
blanketed, thirty-fve teams were COW
cred with warning tags" four cases
OF cruelty to animals were looked in
to, and twelve teams were found inn
properly protected and sent home
from the streets. Some of the driv-
ers were partially intoxicated, and
one of these reluctantly started for
his home in the country at 1890 a. m.
Three drunken men were aided, and
case of cruelty to child has been
investigated.
Thirty-two visits have been made
to poor families with the effort TO aid
them, and among them have been
found eleven children who have been
clothed and placed in school. Eight
Of these were boys from seven to
eighteen years old, and three were
girls of seven and eight years.
"BY the Kindness" the agent says,
''of private individuals, considerable
cast off clothing has been made to
cover the needy, while the relief So
cieties and aid furnished by the coun-
ty has enabled the society to
warm the cold and feed the hungry.
The effort in every
case has been made to help the needy
ones to their feet, without furnishing
a permanent crutch upon which
they may lean. The kindly aid given
the officer, by both rich and poor, re-
flutes the notion that Mankato is
made up of wholly selfish, sordid
natures"

JANUARY WEATHER.

The mean temperature for January
was Is degrees in Minneapolis, accord

airy, but not so warm but that several
previous Januaries have exceeded it,
that of 1880 being the warmest, with
a mean temperature of 26 degrees, or
a daily average of 10 degrees warmer
than this month. Other warmer
Januaries were those in 1877, 1878,
1882, 1889 and in 1891, only five years
ago, when mean temperature of 81

We all know that any tired muscle

We all know that any tired muscle
can be restored by rest. Your stomach
is muscle. Dyspepsia is it's manner
of saying II am tired. Give me rest. y
To rest the stomach you must do it's
work outside of the body.
This is the Shakers method of cur
ing indigestion, and it's success is best
attesGed by the fact that these peo-
pie are practically free from what is
without doubt the most prevalent of
all diseases. The Shaker Digestive
Cordial not only contains digested
food which is promptly absorbed
without taxing the tired digestive
organs, but it is likewise an aid to the
digestion of other foods in the
stomach. A 10 cent trial bottle will
convince you of it's merit, and these
you can obtain through all druggists.
