JOYS OF CYCLING.

Attorney G. O. Daley is one of the
latest converts to the wheel, and he
has made remarkable progress, so that
he is able to take long rides, and finds
much pleasure in so doing. Having
some business to transact at St. Clair,
he started for there soon
after sunrise this morning, and
got along finely until a short
distance this side of his desti-
nation. There one of those unfore-
seen accidents occurred, and the
frame of his wheel snapped in twain.
He breakfasted with an accommodate
ing farmer, and was able to get ride
back with another farmer who was
coming this way.
The other day, Mr.. Daley narrowly
escaped serious injury from bad fall
while going down steep hill.

AN OUTRAGE.

Last night someone entered Mr..
Peach's barn, on Guenther hill, and
sheared the hair off his horses tail.
Mr.. Peach has no clue to the miscre-
ant, but reported the matter to the
police this forenoon, and exhibited
the horse. Not only is the appear
ance of the horse spoiled but his ma
tural protection from flies at this sea-
son of the year is gone. If the brute
who would infiict such an injury on a
defenseless beast can be found, Or
binary punishment would be too
lenient for him.

GOOD OF MANKATO.
An Excellent Idea Suggested by a
Business Man.

One of our leading business men
today suggested to the FREE PRESS
that special meeting of the Com
mercial club ought to be called, to
spend an entire evening talking over
plans and suggestions for the good of
Mankato, in the way of attracting
more trade here. "Out of twenty
ideas presented" said he, lone ought
to be found of practical value at
least"
The gentleman referred to has a
matter which he desires to bring be-
fore this meeting and which would
afford subject for an evenings pro-
fitable discussion. He has been
thinking over and doing some work
toward securing an electric railway
to St. Peter, proposed by this paper a
year ago, and has gotten so far that
he has secured pledges for several
blocks of $500 stock. Those who have
pledged this money have not done so
with the expectation of getting it
back, but intend that it shall be more
in the form of bonus than anything
else.
The gentleman believes that an
electric railway between this city and
st. Peter would be practicable. In
the first place, the company that
operates it would have. to operate
system in this city, and would pro-
badly want the lighting contract
from the city. The gentleman ar
CUES that if a large trade can be di-
verified to this city by means OF the
railway, the council should not hest
tate to do what it can to facilitate
the securing of the road
This is one subject that could be
talked over at a meeting of the Com
mercial club, and no dodbt other
business men would have other mat
tiers to present. We commend the
idea of such meeting to the officers
of the club.

A WARM MEETING.
School House Used for Religious
Meetings the Cause.

The school meeting in the "iron
bridge district" was anything but a
tame affair. The school building has
been used for religious meetings for
some months past, in addition to the
purpose for which it was constructed.
A portion of the tax payers objected
to this at the meeting, and one made
ringing speech in opposition to it.
The majority was on the other side,
however, and the excitement is said
to have become so great that the
speaker took 10 his heels. The meet
ing did not wait on the order Of it's
going, and has not yet been regularly
adjourned. No action was taken on
the question OF holding religious
services in the school house.
The old school trustees were re-
elected with one exception.

SILVER DEMOCRATS MEET.

A meeting OF some of the silver
Democrats was held at the city hall
last night, to talk over the coming
state and congressional conventions,
and to lay plans for carrying the pri-
maries and county convention in the
interest of silver. Some of the lead
ing Democrats of the city and county
were present, notably the younger
element. All are close mouthed as to
what was done, but it can be believed
that no steps will be neglected which
will aid the silver forces.

LAKE CRYSTAL:sUMMER SCHOOL,

The Summer School is success.
The enrolment is now 155 and only
eight were absent at roll call this
morning.
The students last night gave re-
ception to the faculty and County
Superintendent at the elegant new
school hall. A splendid programme
was rendered by the teachers. Mr..
Daniel Wilson acted as chairman Of
the assembly and in a few well chosen
words thanked the instructors for
their efforts in behalf of the teachers.
He said that summer schools were.
now recognized as absolutely necessary
to the advancement of teachers in ALI
grades. He knew that he would enter
in the years work with new hope
and he confidently predicted that the,
country schools would be the better
on account of the teachers having en-
joyed the privileges afforded them at
this school.
The following programme was then
rendered, showing eXcellentelocution-
airy talent and careful preparation by
those participating:

in behalf of this school presented each.
one with handsome token of remem-
brance.
Mr.. Scherer was called for first and
received beautifully chased and en-
graved solid silver shaving-cup.
Messrs. Webster and Schmitt and
Misses Rafferty, and Knott were pre-
sented with beautiful silver napkin
rings. So complete surprise was
this part of the program that the gen.
ial County Superintendent found no
words to express his gratitude. He
assured his teachers that he appreci-
ated the gift very much, coming as it
did with the good wishes.of the school.
All Of the instructors spoke feelingly
of the cordial relation existing be-
tween the faculty and teachers. Prof.
Webster said he liked Blue Earth.

Refreshments were now served by
the selected committee and it was,
near eleven o'clock when the happy
gathering separated.
The entire arrangements for the
sociable and reception were complet-
ed by the teachers without any aid or
suggestions from the faculty and the
success of the affair is entirely due to
them and what is still better, not one
lesson was interfered with OF a reci--
tation neglected yesterday or today.
