DEATH OF MRS. CHEEVER.
She Passed Away Saturday Evening
After a Weeks Illness.

Mrs. Mary A. Cheever died at the
home of Mr.. 81. 1. Parry, 4O4 East
Cherry street, at eight o'clock Satur-
day night after an illness of a week.
Her death was the result of Bright's
disease. and is a shock to her numer-
Gus friends and acquaintance in Man
kato, St. James, Hawick and other
places. She was an old resident of
this city, and was always held in the
highest respect by all. OF late, she
has made her home with her daughter
Mrs. f. E. Blaser, at ST. James, but
returned to this city two weeks ago.
She also leaves son, G. w. Cheever,
of Hawick, Mimi, who is in the city.
The deceased was sixty-seven years
of age. She came to Mankato in 1876,
and had some property interests here.
She was member of the Congrega-
tional church, and the funeral services
were conducted at Mr.. Parry's resi-
dence by Rev. R. II. Battey,of Mime
apolis, who is temporarily supplying
the church, at 2:30 o'clock this after
noon. The remains were taken to
Lynn, Mass, Mrs. Cheever's former
home, for burial, and left on the 1856
p. m. train over the Omaha road.

GROWING BETTER
The GeneaI Outlook Improving in all
Directions.
The Northwest Will Stand Solid for
Mckinley.
Labor Everywhere Resenting the
Insult Popocrats Cast Upon it.

Special to Daily FREE PRESS:
CHICAGO, Oct, 26. - Chairman
Hanna of the Republican National
Committee enters upon the last week
of the campaign thoroughly confident
that Mckinley and Hobart will carry
at least all but II of the 45 states in
the union.' While he firmly declines to
show his strength in localities by
naming the states he regards as
doubtful or belonging to Bryan, he
stakes his reputation on this general
result:-Reports received this morn
ing based upon private polls taken
all over the country, eliminate every
element of doubt and place firmly in
certain Mckinley and Hobart column,
the Dakotas Nebraska, Kansas,
Minnesota and Michigan. Indiana is
practically conceded by the opposi-
tion to be safely 10000 plurality for
Mckinley, and is claimed by 10000
and Minnesota 10000 for Mckinley.
West Virginia and Maryland are re-
garded as safe as Indiana. 1t is now
a question with the Republican
National Committee if simply pulling
the free silver hersey up by the roots,
like a bunch of bad weeds and throw
ing it over the fence forever, the
fight to the finish is to be one of de-
termination that every vestige of'free
coinage disease shall be permanently
eradicated. The egging of Secretary
Carlisle, in Kentucky, and that of
Republican speakers in the 18th ward
of this city; the burning and other
wise desecrating of the American flag
in Missouri, and several points in
Illinois recently Kissed by Governor
Altgeld and finally resentment by
laboring men throughout the country
of the insults charge that they were
coerced into support of sound money,
have all combined to arouse patriot
ism and spirit for good government to
a pitch not known since the war.
The change to sound money demo-
cratic and Mckinley columns on &C
count the proceeding during the week
has been phenomenal far beyond the
anticipations of Chairman Bynum of
the sound Democratic national
committee, and Chairman Hanna, of
the Republican national committee.
The column including doubtful states
or those belonging to Bryan has now
been reduced to Florida. Georgia,
Idaho, Colorado, Montana, Texas,
Mississippi, Louisiana, South Caro-
lima, Virginia and Utah. There is
what representative leaders regard as
good fighting chance for victory in
Idaho, Montana, Louisiana, Virginia,
and will create no surprise if Colorado
should be rescued by good money SEN

The great sound money demons6ra-
tion in ST. Paul Saturday night in
honor of Hon. Robert T. Lincoln has
never been equaled in the Sanity
City, if indeed it has in the north
west. The only other one that can be
alikened to it was the great outpour-
ing at Minneapolis a few weeks ago
to give expression to the voters in
favor of honest money and national
honor on the occasion of Bourke
COckran's speech. The claims of the
free silver shouters that only ''pluto-
Gratis, y money changers" and "cor-
porations" were supporting Mckinley
and sound money, was given black
eye of the most emphatic blackness.
The marching hosts contained nearly
1900 railroad men. The general
managers of railroads walked side by
side with brakemen and trackmen.
All distinction of rank was reduced
to common level in common cause.
The enthusiasm was unbounded Re-
ports claim that $4,000 voters were in
line, and as the total registration
of st. Paul is only double this num-
Der, it is safe to predict that Ramsey
county will give Mckinley at least
1000 majority. Minnesota is prepar-
ing for one of the nost pronounced
landslides to Mckinley ever recorded
in the history of the state.

REV. BEATTIE REMEMBERED.
Left Tuesday for an Eastern
Visit.

A committee of the Presbyterian
congregation Monday raised and pre-
sented to Rev. L. w. Beattie over
5000, which is handsome donation on
the part of his numerous friends, and
one which he thoroughly appreciates
at this time. He and his family leave
tomorrow at 1856 p. m. over the Omaha
road for the east, by way of Chicago.
They will visit his fathers home on
the Hudson near New York, and his
brother insNew York. He has been
granted leave of absence of four
months, but he hopes to recuperate so
that it will not be necessary to be alb
sent the full time. His Mankato
friends hope to see him return in the
full vigor of restored health.

Foot Ball Come.

Monday one Of the most interest
ing foot ball games ever played in
Maryville was witnessed by a large
crowd. The contesting teams were
the Knoxville University school and
the Maryville college second team.
They were very evenly matched in
weight, but our boys had more snap
and vim and so won by score Of
a. to o.
The Maryville rush line did effect
i've work both in defensive and often
sive playing. 1t was almost i'm
possible for the u. S. team to make
any gains through the line, while
Maryville went through the Knox
vile line almost at will. The Mary
vile backs. Huddleston as quarter,
Will Henry as full back and Irwin
and Post as half backs, played bril-
liant game. Huddleston did some
very fine work..in tackling. Henry
called the signals and showed good
judgment aside from booking the
line very effectively for good gains.
Irwin and Post both made brilliant
end runs. The interference was &
feature of the game. The boys ART
a swift aggregation Of dlayers ant
with practice will be able to outplay
not only all the teams Of their weight,
but they will be able to give a mucl
hevier teams considerable trouble.

justice is done. The TINES received
the following message at ago o'clock

"Tillmau is leading Taylor by
3, 900 votes. Maj. Stallman says Till
man will be elected by from 5000 to

COL. BooNE'S ROAD.

He May Yet Surprise East Tenn

The Knoxville Sentinel of Tuesday
has the following in regard to Col, AL
bert E.Boone's proposed railroad from
Jellico to the sea.
Col. Albert E. Bssne is not dead
nor sleeping, but is indutriously saving
wood so far as Knoxville is concerned.
He is now in Washington, and his
friends are expecting him back in the
very near future. One Of Col.
Boone's strongest enemies is Col.
Mike Brown, who owns the Port
Royal, Greenway & Anderson rail-
road in South Carolina. A petition
has been filed asking that receiver
be appointed for this road. 1t is
thought by Vice-President Harrison,
of the Bleck Diamond road, that Col.
Boone's idea is to get his capitalists to
gather and purchase Browns road
from Port Royal to Greenwood, and
them the old Blue Ridge from Ander.
son to Walhalla.
This weuld leave only gap of a.
bout 26 miles from Anderson to
Greenwood to be built, thus giving a
line from Walhalla to Port Royal
complete. He then would only have
to build from Jellico to Walhalla, q
distance of about aas niles. Boone
may yet be successful.
