A Pleasant Church Wedding This
Forenoon.

The marriage of Miss Meta, daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. +. G. Heinze, and
Mr.. Bernard Dentinger, Of Louisville,
Kentucky, was solemnized at ten
o'clock this forenoon at St. Johns
Catholic church, Rev. Father Prior
officiating. A number of invited
guests were present, and the wedding
was very pretty one. Miss Louise
Hoeffer, of st. Peter, was the brides
maid, and Mr.. Peter, of Chicago, was
the best man. The bridal party were
elegantly attired.
The bride is a most excellent young
lady, and has numerous friends in the
City who will regret her departure
while extending their best wishes for
her future. The groom formerly re-
sided in Mankato, being very sue
cessful instructor in music. He has
resided at Louisville for several years,
and has many friends both there and
in this city. The FREE PRESS joins
in extending it's congratulations to
the newly married couple and wishes
them prosperous and happy future.
After the ceremony, wedding din
ner was served at the brides home, to
which all present did ample justice.
The many presents received by the
bride were admired. This evening a
reception will be rendered Mr.. and
Mrs. Dentinger by Mr.. and Mrs.

bridal couple will leave for Mil
waukee, Chicago and st. Louis.
They will arrive at their future home,

CORRECTS IT'S STA TEMENT.

The Minneapolis Times puts Man
kato cement in it's true light by the
following article in yesterdays issue:
Assistant City Engineer Howe is
quoted as having said that The delay
in the asphalt pavement now in pro-
gress was that the cement was not
furnished on time by the manu-
facturerS, and that a certain brand of
cement, the "Mankato," had played
OUT" This statement does an in.
justice to Mr.. Howe, and more partic-
ularly to the MankatO cement manu-
facturers. The cement used by the
street paving companies is not ship
ped from MankatO, and so it could
have nothing to do with the delay.
The MankatO Cement company has
marketed in this city this season over
II, 900 barrels and only small batch
of $50 barrels has been found insult
able for mason work, Even this, with
little time, will be found quite as
good as any in the market.
The MankatO cement is used at the
reservoir, on sewers, and telephone
condults, and has always been fur
nished promptly. Mr.. Carney, the
lessee and manager of the Mankato
cement works, writes the Times that
he has enough tirst-class cement rock
in sight to supply the works at their
present capacity for 200 years.

NO ELECTION.
The School Board Unable to Fill
Prof. BedfOrd'S Place.

The regular monthly meeting OF
the school board was held last night.
Three applications for Prof. Bed.
ford's position as teacher of science
in the high school were received, he
having resigned to accept position
at Dubuque, Iowa. Those who want
the place are G.. M. Wilcox, of Fari-
bault, G. A. Gillian, of Wooster, Ohio,
and Miss Jessie E. Stevens, of Mime
apolis. All have good recommends
tons. After several ballots had been
taken without anyone receiving a
majority, it was decided to postpone
the election until future meeting.
1t is hoped that the applicants may
visit the city, in order that the men,
bers of the board may become ac-
quainted with them.
1t was voted to build a sidewalk in
front of the West Mankato school on
LeSueur street.
Miss Deem applied for the privilege
of using one of the high school rooms
for studio, to be supplied with chairs
and easels, and the matter was refer
red to a committee.
The interest on bonds and the usual
bills were allowed.

PROTECTING THEMSELVES.
What Would Happen if Free Silver
Were to Win.


The FREE PRESS this morning re-
ceived the following letter from a
firm which is using our columns for
advertising purposes;
Elkhart, Ind, Aug. /, 1896.
Gentlemen;-To protect ourselves
in time of panic and financial dis
tress,-which we regard as inevitable
if the unexpected should happen in
November,-we have decided to add
the following condition to all con-
tracts made for newspaper advertis-
ing;-
tIt is also agreed that should the
free silver candidate, Bryan, be elect
ed, the DR.. Miles Medical Co. have
the privilege of cancelling this con-
tract"
From this date, contracts without
this clause will not be accepted.
Respectfully,
DIR. MILES MEDICAL Co.
This is but one of the many indica-
tions showing the feeling of the bust
ness and commercial interests of the
country at the prospects should the
free silver craze be successful at the
November elections. The lessening
of the protection to American labor
brought all the misery that the Re-
publican party feared it would, and
the leSsening of the value of the la
borers' dollar would make times hard
er than they ever were.

POOLING BILL ABANDONED.
Roads VIII Not Try to Pass One
This Session.

THIS SesS1Ohs
CHICAGO, Dec 4-The railroads
centering in this city have about given
UP all idea that the coming session
of congress will see a bill passed that
will 1egalize pooling. There was q
time when all Of the roads were hope
full and some Of them were sure that
such a bill would be passed. They have
been sounding a number of the sena
tors and they find that a great many
of them are not favorably disposed to-
ward the measure, at the present time
at least. The reasons given for OPP
position to the pooling measure differ.
Some of the senators have said they
are opposed to pooling as a principle,
others say that the present time is
not opportune, and others say that no
matter whether the present time is
opportune or otherwise, the coming
session is to be a short one and there
will be a crush Of legislation that is
more important than railway pooling.
The present conditions are rather dis
couraging to the roads, and as the ma
jority Of them had an idea that they
would be able to get some such meas
ure as the Peterson bill passed, they
are corespondingly Respondent over
the outlook. This does not mean that
they have given up the fight, for they
are working now for the legaHZation
of pooling as hard as they have
worked at any time in the past, but
the greater portion Of the railway Off.
Gals have come to the conclusion that
at last another year must elapse be-
fore they secure the coveted legislation.
The roads Of the Western Passenger
association running out Of Chicago held
a short meeting today and disposed of
number of routine matters. They
also made an additional date, Dec.
9, on which college students can pur
he wi
their homes during the holidays.
The roads Of the Central Passenger
committee were today authorized to
run homeseekers' excursions to South
ern territory and all points on the
Chesapeake and Ohio road.

instead of income, amounting to ST.
845,5s6. Charges to income of $2,064, TAI
were improperly capitalized under the
title of CONSTRUCTION, main STEM
improvements and betterments of
leased and dependent roads amounting
to $2,745, 453 were improperly charged
to capital account. The total Of these
improper entries Is Sill ,2O4,S58 for seven
years and two months ending Nov. 80,
1895. During the period under scrutiny
there were declared $2956,92 in stock
and 3,312,086 in cash dividends on the
common stock. Concurrent with the
stock dividend of 2 per cent in Novem-
Der, 1891, was the sale to a syndicate
of $5,096,000 additional common stock,
and in February, 1892, So 800 more
common stock was issued in exchange
for 120,1,00 shares Of Pittsburg & West
ern common stock at SIS a share
MT. Little says that the liabilities
or the company on Nov 10, 1895, We're
understated by $5,481.S34, and that the
increase in liabilities in the period un-
der review has been $22, 1S0,073.
Regarding the payment of unearned
dividends, Mr.. Little's report says:
Radical, perhaps as my treatment of the
income account may be considered, the facts
VIII not be disputed. The contrast between
the fictitious and the real net earning ca
pacity of this great property is by it all
the more strongly brought out. Taking the
year 1895 as an index to the situation, there
was, after providing for all charges and
the full dividends of $300,0o0 on the first and
second preferred stocks, a deficit of 1924, 043. u
Strike these dividends out and you have a
surplus of $6,955.39, so that if adequate cap
1tal can be obtained with which to fund it's
floating debt and furnish facilities for the
enlargement of it's business and the econonl-
ical handling Of the same, there is nothing
discouraging in the prospect of the ability of
the company to earn the interest and moro
on all Its direct obligations now outstanding
Indeed, If we take the average income for
any twelve months of the seven years and
the two months as l revised it, the surplus
over all charges, Including the dividends of
$500. 900 on the first and second preferred
stock, is $135, $50, and, excluding these divi-
dends 1t is $435, 800. The results for the five
months which ended Nov. 80, 1895, show a
surplus over all charges of 500, 3S4, but it is
not to be taken as an indication Of what the
whole year may develop.
Under the head Under Estimate of Liabil-
ities,' Mr.. Little, after giving a table of
items says:
The under-statement of its liabilities to
which l refer, and of which no official mem
ton has been made public, consists Of the
S., 481, S34. Not being a direct debt, it has
no place on its books, but the company is,
nevertheless bound by its Endorsement.
These loans, moreover, are still further Sc
cured by the pledge of its own collaterals in
conjunction with those of the PittsburG &
Western and the Valley Railway Of Ohio.

HALF-FARE TICKETS.
Theological Students VIII Only Get
Them CondittonaIly.

The Western Passenger association
has somewhat changed the system I'M
der which half-fare permits may be is
sued to theological students assigned to
preach in distant pulpits. The associ-
alton has drawn the lines closer than
ever before, again showing it's intention
to cut free or reduced transportation
privileges down to the last notch
Hereafter a theological student will
have to go through considerable red
tape before securing his half-fare per-
NIT, which, by the way, is good only for
one round trip. The president of the
college in which the student is securing
his education is required to sign upon
honor a certificate stating that the stu
dent is duly assigned to the pulpit
named, and that transportation may be
issued to him between points desig-
mated in the application. This applica-
ton is forwarded to the proper officials
of the passenger department, and upon
the favorable action the permit is is
sued.

Numerous Irregularities Discovered
BY Expert Stephen Little.

BALTIMORE, Dec. 4.-The report of
Stephen Little, the expert accountant
to the B. & o. reorganization commit
tee, is made public today. The account
ant, among other things, finds an over
statement of the net income amounting
to $2,721 ,067 from June 80, 1891, to June
80, 1898. This amount is divided as fol-
lows: For 1892, $685., 473; for 1893, $443,-
301; for 1894, SOL ,063; for 1896, 1921 ,23o,
He also finds that of $6,269, O07 paid in
dividends during the period mentioned,
only 1871, 446 was earned.
The items withheld from operating
expenses and the method of swelling
the receipts in each year are given In
detail. By writing up the values of
stocks owned and other such practices.
the net income was sweiled by amounts
that should have gone to profit and
loss. Two improvised profit and loss
accounts were opened, one designated
general adjustment account" and the
other securities adjustment account. .
Mr.. Little says there is mischarge of
worn out equipments to profit and loss
