be erected this winter. This will be
a great improvement and has long
been needed. Madison Lake is one of
the best wheat markets in this part

SUCHIS A CASE REPORTED FRI
DAY
A Well Dressed, Educated Gentleman
Walks Into the City and Has Curious
Experiences--f1as Lost His Mem
Dry, Cannot Recollect His Own
Name, Home, Where He Came
From, or Past Life--ParaIysis of the
Memory Tissues of the Brain.

1t is said that truth is sometimes
stranger than fiction, and in a case
that came to light Friday in
Mankato, this is certainly true. There
is stranger in the city, well dressed,
we'll educated, refined, and apparently
a prosperous business man, who can
give no account of himself. His men,
CRY has almost completely departed.
The man walked into MankatO night
before last. he knows not from where,
and registered at the City Hotel as
Harrison, st. Paul." although he was
sure that this was not his name. He
could not remember what his name
was or where his home was. He had
no money, and rather than incur an
expense that he could not repay, he
walked the streets all last night, fear
ing that if he met policeman he
would be locked up because he could
not give an account of himself.
During the night he ran across a
drunken man lying on the sidewalk,
with a lot of packages scattered
around, and helped him to his feet and
home. The drunk claimed to have
lost pair of shoes, whichthe man with
out memory found on his return, and
fearing that he would be arrested if
found with them in his possession
took them to the house.
Saturday the man returned to
the City Hotel, related that he had no
money and offered to leave his UNI
brella as security. He was given
breakfast. He afterwards found Rev.
Geo. r. Davis, rector of the Episcopal
church, and told him that he was a
church man and showed an Episcopal
prayer book. He asked to be directed
to physician, to see what was the
matter with him, and was sent to DR..
Andrews. To the latter he told his
story, aud the Doctor recognized
rare malady in the mans complaint.
He was suffering from a mental de-
rangement similar to paralysis of
the memory The books have &C
counts of such cases.
The man is evidently an English
man, and thinks he left home several
weeks ago, and thinks he has means.
He is sure that his wife and children
dead He thinks he was ia Winnipeg
He has lost his valice and pocketbook
and knows nothing about them. He
thinks that he has been engaged in
business for himself, but can't remem-
Der where or at what. He thinks this
the first attack of the kind that he
has had. He is in good health and
says that he never tasted liquor. He
is past fifty years of age.
DR.. Andrews took the man to the
hospital and will treat him for few
days. Rest may cause an improve
meQt.

CHURN AND BUTTER WORKER
MANDATORY COMING.
Disbrow Manufacturing Co. Will
Move to This City From OwatOnna
In a Few Days--Empioyes Ten or
Twelve Men--The Old LOfoten Hard.
wood Manufactory's Plant Leased
by the Management=-A Valuable
Acquisition.
Acquisition.

Mankato is to have new factory
within few weeks, in active opera
tion and employing number of hands.
The negotiations have gone on quietly
for some I'll ne, and the final arrange
ments were made last night. No DO
nus is asked, and the factory will be
located in this city, because OF it's
superior distributing facilities.
The Disbrow Manufacturing Co., of
Owatonna, will move it's entire plant
to Mankato. The business of this
establishment is to manufacture
churns and butter workers. 1t is now
located at Owatonna, but for time
has been DESTROYS of making change
of location. G. H. Higgs was at Owa-
tonna recently and learned of the pro-
posed change and advised the proprie-
tors to move to Mankato. The
gentlemen looked upon the matter
favorably, and one of them accompan-
led Mr.. Higgs back to this city. The
only difficulty was in finding suita-
BILE location, but this has been over
come by the lease of the plant of the
old Lofoten Hardwood Manufacturing
Co., on South Front street. The
negotiations of this lease have been
pending for some time, but were
finally closed last night.
The plant will be moved to this city
at once, and it is expected that it will
be in operation within three weeks.
1t will give employment to ten or
twelve hands at present. The product
finds ready sale, as it has desirable
features. Wood and iron castings are
the material used, and all will be pre-
pared In Mankato.
The acquisition of this factory
should stimulate our commercial bod
les to strive during the coming win
ter to secure more factories. This
city has a location that cannot be
excelled, and if the proper effort is
made, it would seem that something
tangible could be accomplished.

Madison Lake has another sensation
on hand, in the sudden and somewhat
mysterious death of old Joe Gegan,
a man "a years Of age, who has
made his home in or near the village.
AS nearly as we can learn, the facts
seem to be these. With some COM
panions, all old enough to know bet
ter Joe was out for time last night
and had it. The party were all in
high spirits, and had plenty of spirits
along on the outside, which soon
found their way to the inside. Joe
lay on the floor at Harry Smiths
farm house, two or three miles from
the village, and the spirits that were
in him from the jug set his own spirit
free before he awoke. At least he
never awoke, for when he ought to
have walked up this morning, he
couldn't wake up, for he was dead.
Coroner Paddock received the fol-
lowing telegram Friday, from
Madison Lake:
"Come to my place at once. Man
dead. Waiting inquest.
HARRY SMITH"
Mr.. Paddock and Chief Yates drove
out to make an investigation, but
found it unnecessary to hold an in
quest and returned Friday.
Gegan was single man, without any
particular business. Two brothers
live further on. He seems to have
got drunk alone last night, and at his
request was given permission to re-
main over night at Mr.. Smiths
house. He lay on the floor without I'M
dressing, and this morning was found
dead.

A FROST.
Such Was the Popocratic Meeting
Friday Night.

The attendance at the Popocratic
meeting at. Union Hall Friday was
a great disappointment to the local
managers. The much heralded speaker
for the occasion was Hon. Frank K.
Foster, editor of the Boston Labor
Journal. The slight attendance may
have been in part due to misunder-
standing as to when Mr.. Foster was
to appear here. He was assigned to
Mankato by the state committee for
last night, but the local managers
seem to have gotten it into their
heads that he was to have appeared
tonight, and had so advertised it.
At 900 o'clock, when FREE PRESS
reporter dropped in at Union Hall,
there were seventy-one people present
by actual count, including the speaker
and Judge Porter, who had introduced
him. How many had been there and
gone away we could not learn, but
gentleman who was just leaving re-
marked: 81 have been listening to the
speakers harangue for an hour, and he
has not come to any point yet" In
the succeeding five minutes eight went
out and one came in, and at that rate
the audience must have entirely dis
appeared in fifty minutes. AS far as
aiding the local campaign of the Popo-
Gratis was concerned, the speech was a
fiat failure.

ealistic reproduction of first-class

realistic reproduction of first-class
nightmare.
Mr.. Mansfield followed in a very
telling speech in favor of the kind of
money we now have. He showed that
if the governments could make so cents
worth of silver worth dollar, by the
same method it could make piece of
paper worth dollar, and he objected
to this extravagent waste of silver.
After illustrating the fallacies of
the silver men by some very apt and
witty illustrations, the house pro-
ceeded to vote, which resulted in six
teen votes for the gold bugs and two
for the silver barons.

The Mankato Post, the only Ger

strongly Democratic in politics, has
come out :squarely for the cause of
honest money, following the lead of
nearly every German paper of impor-
lance in the country. In it's last two
issues it advances some very good rea-
sons why it's readers should this year
support Mckinley and the Republi-
can ticket. The Post knows what
policy will bring prosperity to the
country and is advocating it.

ANOTHER GOOD MEETING.

Mr.. John Lunn addressed a SOUND

in Cambria Thursday night. A large

of interest was manifested. A POpUlist
asked number of questions, and was
so well answered that the house was
brought down and laugh after laugh
was turned on him, and cheers were
given for the speaker. Mr.. Lunn
proved his assertions, and his speech
will do great deal of good.

Wonderful Cures in Wisconsin.

DR.. Warner-Dear Sir: Last March
my children were taken down with
the measles, which left four of them
with very bad coughs. My oldest
daughters case became so alarming
that we feared she would have quick
consumption. Tried many different
medicines, recommended for coughs
and lung complaints, but all to no pur-
pose. One of my neighbors recon-
mended your White Wine of Tar
Syrup, as one bottle had cured nearly
every man in camp where he worked
of severe colds, and my family COM
menced taking it. In three days we
saw a great change for the better and
they did not use the whole of one
bottle before their coughs were cured.
