BOWIE "POPPIES. "
1t is Rather Early for Flowers, But
Still They Dc Bloom, Only to
Wither and Die.


Yesterday was a big day at New
Boston; It was day for your
"whiskers.
The Populists of Bowie county
assembled from the forks of the
creek, and some were there even
from Deutschman's canal.
The boys hold these meetings
every two years, but ds it hurts no
one and gives them chance to
blow off, we should not grumbe.
To say the ticket they have nom
mated is a strong one, would be
telling a whopper, for there is not
man on it but who has been a
candidate for the past dozen years
or more.
Let us analyze the ticket-the
county part Of it: There is Geo. I,
Todd; he has been running for Of
fee ever since the war ended, 30
years ago, and if he has ever run
under the wire ahead of any one we
do not remember IT. George wants
to be district judge, and would
make good one, but-he will new
er get there by the "long hail
route.
The two Elliott BrotherS-E. 7.
Elliott for foater and W. R. Elliott
for tax collector. They have burn
ed midnight oil at Populist meet
ings for years, trying to get office,
but the election has always gone
against them.
E. D. Meredith, a preacher with
a penchant for Office, aud mighty
good man He has been beaten
twice for representative, but we
find him trying it again. He is a
long horse, seemingly, but his
strides are short in a race.
P. J. Holstein wants to be district
clerk. He is a clever man, and has
been a standing candidate for many
years for several different offices,
but he is no runner, and will be dis
tanced at the first quarter and rul-
ed off the track.
r. ]. Hairston for county judge.
This is clever man, and when he
run in his proper class Democracy
he never got beat, but he deserted
and went over to the "scrub class,
and his racing qualities since that
time have not amounted, to even
keeping a score card.
N. E. Lawrence has asked fol
several offices, both from the Dem
ocrats and Pops, but he always got
left and always will. He is a nice
man, and we haven't a thing
against him, only we want to see
him beaten. He is in the race fol
treasurer,
T. C, Morriss is down again for
Sheriff. Morriss' mouth has water
ed for this place for lol these many
years. He is a clever man, used tC
be a county commissioner from New
Boston, and was one that votec
against the interest Of Texarkan;
every time we wanted a bridge
built or plank put across a brancl
for a foot crossing, He is sectiona
in his feelings, and for this reason
Texarkana generally gives him
good vote to stay out of Office.
There are two more on the ticket
S. N. Tidwell and Jim Wiley. It'd
well has run several times for of
dce; Wiley we know little about,
jim Davis, (Cyclone) has been in
etrnr+ed for for COnurpSS Tim il
a good runner, and if he don't ge'
there he manages to get pacitieC
before he becomes troublesome af
ter the races are all over,
We think the ticket the weakest
one ever unsheathed upon the pub
lie, and the Democracy of Bowl
county in an unorgani2ed state cal
beat it bad,

It is not generally known, but it is fact re-
cognized by physicians, that a very. large
majority Of the diseases Of mankind begin with
irritation and inflammation i'll that part OF TIE
body which becomes affected by the disease.
inflammation is an unhealthy condition OF the
tissues, manifested externally by heat, redness
and swelling, internally by congestion of the
blood vessels, causing pain, disease and growth
OF unsourd tissue. 1t Is very important that
every person should understand the nature and
home treatment of inlammat:ons. For this
purpose, /. S. JOHNSON & Co, az Custom House
st., Boston, Mass, have had compiled from the
highest medical authorities for family use, All
illustrated book, entitled TREATMENT FOR
DISEASES" The book contains description
of all ailments caused by or accompanied with
inflammation, alphabetically arranged; also
the treatment for such. The book is printed

Annual Muster Vermont National
Guard.

Last week the several companies
comprising the first regiment, V. N.
g., and the Fuller battery assembled
for their annual muster ut Camp Col,
Webb near Burlington. With them
were Troop c, Sd U. S. cavalry, and
two companies from 2lst L. >. infan.
try from Platrsburgh.
Gov. Woodbury. with most of his
staff went into camp last Monday.
The routine OF the camp was about
the same as the year before, excepting
on Wednesday, when the camp was
nearly deserted on account OF the alb
sence Of the troops at the dedication OF
the Chittenden monument. There
were several reunions during the
week.
Target practice was INDUCED in as
usual without quite as much rivalry.
Last Friday was Governors day.
1t was great day in camp-from a
military standpoint the greatest that
Vermont has seen since the days OF
'6l. In a military spectacular way it
has had no precedent, and officers and
men congratulated themselves upon
the precision with which every detail
in the program was carried out. Like
every other Governors day, pomp and
ceremony suspended work and pro-
noted the social side OF army life.
The success was in no small way due
to the presence of the United States
cavalry and infantry, which took a
leading part in the days exercises.
In the morning there was sham
battle. Then the battery did little
target practice, firing several rounds
at Rock Dunder, about 3-4 miles
from shore.
In the afternoon came the grand
review. Since the close of the war no
grander military spectacle has been
seen within the confines Of the Green
Mountain state. Gen. Estey and his
staff led. Then came the band, the
LIST regiment trumpet corps, the two
companies Of the 2lst United States
infantry, Capt. Stone commanding,
the LIST regiment, V. N. G., Col. Geo.
II. Bond commanding, Fuller's light
battery and finally troops f, G, D and
E, Sd United States cavalry. Every
branch moved with an exactness and
precision which was fully appreciated
by tie crowd. The review ended
with rapid field work by the cavalry
and the artillery.
Immediately following the review
came exhibition drills by the regulars.
At dress parade medals were awarded
for continuous service, and the CEN
tennial trophy cup for craftsmanship,
which went to Co. of Brattleboro.

SATISFACTORILY ARRANGED.
The Omaha aud Milwaukee Roads Exc
change Property.

The difficulties which the Omaha
road anticipated on it's new right-of-
way, on account of the property owned
by the Milwaukee road near where
the union depot is to be placed, have
been brushed aside as result of
friendly negotiations between the two
roads, An exchange of pieces of right
of-way has been arranged, which puts
each road in much better position.
The Omaha road secures triangle
seventy feet wide at Main street and
tapering back 260 feet, containing o.
100 square feet in all. 1t also gets
strips on the river side of the two
pieces of ground owned by the Mil
waukee further north. The Milwaukee
is given triangle Of property $50 by
40 feet and containing 5000 feet, be-
sides long narrow strip extending
from Main street north to point past
the present c. & n. w. depot, making
it's present possession some feet wider,
this strip containing 800 square feet.
A Quit claim deed was flied today,
together with a plat, signed by Presi-
dent Roswell Miller and Secretary p.
| NJ. Myers, in which the transfer from
the Milwaukee to the Omaha road is
made. The property transferred is
described about as follows: Beginning
on the continuation westerly of the
soutbwesterly side line of Main street,
at point 30 feet northwest from the
intersection with Front street, thence
in nOrthweSterly direction seventy
feet, thence southwesterly on line
parallel to and 280 feet from Front
$ rect 26O feet, thence northwest to
the point of beginning. Also all that
part Of the northeast A feet of lot
three, and of lot five block seven,
town of Mankato, west of line
parallel to and 223 feet west of the
center line of the c., M. & St. Paul
lease.
The Milwaukee road also grants the
Omaha the perpetual right to main
Gdlu duu OpCIdoO uOuUlC OldOh duu
railways over any and all lands owned
by it in block seven, provided that the
center lines of the double tracks shall
not be more than fifteen feet apart,
and the center of the west track of the
double track shall be straight line
located parallel to Front street, and
distant 2293 feet west.
The consideration mentioned in the
deed is $145.

DATE CHANGED.
The Good Roads Convention will be
Held rIarch 18th.

The good roads joint committee
and County Commissioners Roberts
and Hanay held meeting Friday
to talk over the situation. Owing to
the work of the farmers coming on
soon, it was decided to change the
date of the convention to be held in
this city from March oath to March
18th, at 100 a. m.
Attorney A. B. Choate, of Minneap-
oils, will probably deliver the princi-
pal address. He is well posted, not
too theoretical for.'the present day,
and was active at the recent state
good roads convention,
An appeal to town meetings and
village voters was drawn up, and will
be mailed to the clerk of each town
ship, calling attention to the conven-
tion. We will publish it tomorrow,
as lack of space prevents today.
The day for the convention is a
good one, as many of the delegates
would doubtless come in anyway to
hear Watterson that evening.

WILLING TO SETTLE.
County Surveyor Haynes will rleet
the County Board Halfway.

County Surveyor A. M. Haynes is will
ing to compromise the difficulties in
which he and Mr.. Thompson and the
county board are involved, as will be
seen in the following interview which
he accorded the FREE PRESS Friday
morning:
81 was surprised to read in last eve
nings FREE PRESS that so much effort
was made by the county board Thurs
day to make settlement with me.
| would have liked to have been there
and helped it along, as | am perfectly
willing to accept the proposition as
understand it. Both resolutions, the
one defeated and the one adopted,
are aliAe, except that the latter was
written by Mr.. Thompson and con-
tains some statements which are out
of place and ought to have come up in
court if there is anything in them. Ii
the board wishes to pay two surveyors
for the same work, and the other tax
payers consent, | cannot afford to
carry on the litigation any further.
But | am only one of large number
of petitioners, and my consent may
not be worth much, but | freely give
it.
''As for the contractors bills, the
trouble was caused by my refusal to
look after contracts made by individ-
ual members and not by the board.
SIT was contrary to law, hence CON
trary to my oath of office and was ex-
pensive and vicious, bound to end in
trouble as it has done today.
'But they got some one else to look
after it who was not burdened with a
bond and oath of Office. These bills
that are held up are for work thus
contracted by individual members or
by Mr.. Thompson.
"If it is admitted that the board
can not delegate it's authority in that
manner, it is all ask for. am sure
we can work in harmony. The trouble
has really been worth the cost in in
structing us in the law.
81 hope 1 have not said more than
is called out by the resolution or is in
consistent with concilitory spirit"
Mr.. Haynes today presented county
Attorney Benedict letter offering to
accept the proposition of the COM
missioners and to carry out his part,

To THE DAILY FREE PRESS,
T.. p. HUNT, ESQ, Managing Editor,
MANKATO, Mimi.
DEAR SlR:-On the third OF March,
instant. the DAILY FREE PRESS in the
current issue of that day, under the
heading ''Stone Quarry Purchased"
published an erroneous statement that
/ had sold my stone quarry In this.
city to the Mankato Lime and Stone
Company.
The management has been since
notified that the statement was not
correct as published, that l have only
leased the quarry to the company
named, and that the publication will,
unless corrected, work me an injury
and injustice;
Therefore, You are hereby notified
that | demand a retractiOn and cor
rection of the article mentioned, ana
unless the same is corrected and re-
tracted at once shall hold the FREE
PRESS Company and the publishers or
the said paper responsible for any IN
Jury or damage that may occur to me
by reason of the publication above
mentioned.
Dated Mankato, Mimi, March 6, '96
w. b. CRAIG.
In answer to the above the FREE
PRESS, while it has no interest what
ever in the business transactions De-
tween Mr.. Craig and the Mankato
Lime and Stone Company, gave the
article in question publicity as mat
ter of news and with no desire, inten-
tion or thought of injury or damage
to Mr.. Craig. We here and now dis
claim any such intention, desire or
thought. So much for Mr. Craig's de-
mand for retraction.
Now as very strong testimonial OF
the statement that the quarry or
uuarries have been sold, cOnditionally
so at least, we have been permitted to
peruse a document signed by w. b.
Craig and Martha G. Craig, his wife,
wherein they agree, for stipulated
price and under certain express terms
and conditions to be filled on or before
the first day of January, 1897, to exc
cute good and sufficient deed of con-
veyance to the said second party,
which means the Mankato Lime and
Stone Company. This is really con-
tract for deed, and if the Mankato
Lime and Stone Company shall
elect to accept the terms, as we under
stand it to be their intention, then
the property has been virtually sold,
although technically it has not passed
out of the hands of Mr. Craig, and will
not until the date mentioned in the
contract or agreement.
