A Church Calendar. The ladies ofthe
South church are publishing a calendar
for sale before Christmas. 1t is a scheme
which has for some time been considered
by them, but for various reasons imprac-
ticable until the present season. The
quotations are from a wellknown
author and have been selected with the
greatest care. While the paper and work
of the printer will be of the very best the
calendar committee feel sure the subject
matter and frontispiece will interest, not
only South church people, but all loyal
st. Johnburyites. More particulars

Where Do They Get It?-During the
recent torchlight parade, while the pro-
cession was passing through Spring
street, one of the men in the mounted
brigade, who had been having consider
able trouble in keeping his balance,
finally lost it aud rolled off. The gentle
man landed nicely on all fours and rolled
down bank onto some plowed ground,
where he rested for several hours in
furrough. He was discovered, taken into
house, warmed up and sent home,
minus his hat, whiskey bottle, dignity
and spirit OF jubiIation. He was happy
at the start but the end was a triAc
humiliating.
Last Sunday morning some one forgot
that it was the first day of the week,
filled up with something exhilarating
and went out to explode. He spent
some time driving about at 40 gait
and making considerable noise, until he
came in contact with the sheriff who
informed him that he was drunk and
needed cooling off. The man didn't
believe he was drunk, but was locked up

To a casual observer it seems just as il
there were more cases of drunkenness
reported oflate than has been customary
for some little time. This may not be
so it is to be hoped it isn't, but if it is,
the question is, where does the stuff come
from that causes the trouble?

ASTOUNDING FOOTBALL.

Says the Prescott Journal Miner: Our football team feel confident that they can beat the Indian school team under favorable conditions. After playing hard game with the Phoenix team on Friday in which four of their men were disabled, it was hardly to be expected that they could successfully cope with a fresh team and particu- larly with such a skilled one as the Indian boys are.
 The Phoenix Republican devoted three-quarters of a column to the foot ball game with the Indians, and just eight lines to the game with the Phoe- nix team. The Indians beat the Pres colt team while the Prescott boys won the game over the Phoenix team hence the report.
 The game Christmas between Phoe- nix and Prescott was the hottest ever played in Arizona and was won by the visitors by superior weight, superb in reference and speedy sprinters The general play of the Phoenix eleven though, was more interesting to a scientific pectator.-Phoenix Repub- lican.
 Spectators state that the game play ed by the Prescott team was equally scientific in every respect with that of Phoenix.

ways so their trains will go to the depot, on the south side, without using the Southern Pacific tracks. Sidings to hold 353 cars and ten locomotives are also to be laid, and it will then be possible for any number of the heavi- est freight trains to get out of the way and give a clear track to passen- ger trains.
 The Border Vidette reaches the Spanish ear, for it says: 'In the last issue of the Weekly Vidette appears a couple of short editorials touching on the butcheries being committed in Cuba by Spanish hirelings, and the dastardly assassination of General Ma eco at the instigation of Weyler and some of his fellow butchers. Some Spanish sympathizer from somewhere, he hasn't the moral courage to tell who he is, or where he is from, takes exception to the articles published in the Vidette, and with cowardice worthy of his superior officer, MT Wey- Ter, sends us a note of warning, as it were, but forgets to sign his name. The cur ought to go home to the coun- try with which he is in sympathy He has no business living among a peo- pie who love free institutions and who are opposed to the assassination of any man. At the same time we would be grateful if he would send us his name, so that we may know the 'cuss' whom we have offended by expressing regrets at the murder of human be- ings."

OUTLOOK FAVORABLE.
Plenty of Building Operations in
Ninety=Six.

In talking about the building pros
poets of the coming year, Architect
Thayer stated Tuesday afternoon
that he had number of
small pieces of work about the city.
J. E. Neff has practically decided to
erect his proposed new store building
on Hickory street. AS soon as spring
opens, Dr. Andrews will build an adj
dition to his office block, extending
the rear of his half back eighteen
feet and two stories high, to afford an
operating room below and additional
living rooms above.
Mr.. Thayer has prepared plans for
two story frame nine-room house for
A. M. Hewitt, of Winnebago City. He
has also completed plans for the addi-
tion to the Lake Crystal school build
ing, the improvement to come with
n the 5000 bonds voted. The build
ing will be more than doubled in size,
and the addition will be two stories,
of brick, Y feet wide and so feet deep,
and a hall will extend between the
old and new parts. There will be two
large recitation rooms on the first
floor, and large high school room
and two small recitation rooms on the
second floor. Bids for constructing
the addition will be received in

HON. JERRY SIr1PSON.
He is Spending Few Days in llan-
katO.

Hon. Jerry Simpson, the Kansas
Populist eX-congressman, arrived in
Mankato Monday and is stopping
at The Saulpaugh. He has an en-
gagernent to deliver his lecture on
"What shall we do to be saved?" at
Mapleton Saturday night, and will
probably spend all of this week in
Mankato, as he is not feeling well and
feels the need of a rest.
When seen by a FREE PRESS re-
porter this morning, Mr.. Simpson was
ready to talk. First referring to the
large corn crop in Kansas last fall, he
said: while the crop there is large
one, the farmers are not getting any,
thing for it, and are largely holding
it. This surplus corn must eventually
be marketed, and if there should be
an abundant crop next fall the ques-
tion of prices will be a very serious
one, when corn is SO cheap even now"
Taking up the subject of politics,
Mr.. Simpson said: The Populists
will continue to grow and become a
great party. The financial troubles
are helping them. Congressman AL
len, of Nebraska, is most talked of as
our presidential candidate, but Ig-
natius Donnelly has reasonably good
show, and if nominated would make a
great canvass. Our party is yet so
small that the office is seeking the
man, however.
in regard to you Republicans, the
general sentiment over the country,
which l gain from men who are
posted, is that Reed will be the Re
publican nominee Reed and Nc
Kinley are the most talked of, and
outside of Minnesota there is no talk
Of Davis. He has about as much show
of securing the nomination as | have.
A good many states will start in with
favorite sons, who will not cut much
figure ia the convention.
SIN regard to the financial condi-
tion of the country, think that mat
tiers will get worse as long as the end
less chain of gold depletion and bond
issuing keeps up. The way to stop
that ohaln at once is TO redeem some
of the greenbacks in silver, anu unen

Herman Gutenberg Tries it at the
County Jail

SouhSy jail
Herman Gutenberg, the young man
who is serving jail sentence for
beating his wife attempted self de-
struction in the jail late Tuesday
afternoon. At half past five O'Clock
the other prisoners heard a SUSPECT
Gus noise in the water closet and
called the attention of Sheriff Bowen
to it,. On entering the closet, Mr.
Bowen found that Gutenberg had re-
moved the Is or 30 pound weight in
the closet and had tied it up in some
Of his underclothing, and was pound
ing his head with it as hard as he
could. Gutenberg had only begun his
proceedings and was not much in
jured, but he was locked up and DR..
JacOby summoned. There were some
bruises on the top of his head.
Gutenberg had a crazy smell several
weeks ago and smashed the furniture
in his cell, but since then had been
quiet. Yesterday change was
noticed in him, however, and he ap-
peared to be out of his mind. He is
undoubtedly insane at times. His
wife has commenced divorce proceed
ings against him.
