A CITY WElGhER.
A Suggestion That the Council
Should Consider.

A we'll known citizen suggests that
the market difficulty could be settled
satisfactorily to ALL if the city would
put in scales and furnish a weigher.
He suggests that the Chicago &
Northwestern road would undoubted-
ly be willing that the scales should
be located in the open space between
it's depot and Front street. A little
office could be rugged up by the side
walk. There is a driveway from both
sides, and the location is convenient.
An accurate five ton scales, conduct
ed by man in whom all had the ut
most confidence, should be purchased.
The city could afford to pay a small
salary to the weigher, and not charge
fees. Then the farmers would be alb
solutely assured of receiving credit
for full weight, and Mankato would
receive the trade to which it is en-
titled,
This is matter which the council
can profitably consider.

LAST EVENINGS FIRE.
Pertinent Requests rlade by Chief
Phillips.

The fire department was called out
at about eight o'clock Thursday night
by an alarm from box 30, the Savings
bank corner. No one was there to tell
where the fire was, and the depart
ment wasdelayed trifie.
The fire was in J. r. Shows photo
graph gallery, where the draft of the
coal stove had been opened by mis-
take by the boy instead of closed. The
zinc facing on the adjoining wood
work had melted, and the woodwork
was set on fire through two thick
nesses of asbestos. Mr.. Pass boy
first discovered the blaze, and gave the
alarm, and Mr.. Snow put it out with
water, so that the services of the de-
partment were not needed. Several
picture frames near by were injured.
Mr.. Snow places his loss at $50. and
both stock and building are insured
Chief Phillips desires that when
ever an alarm is turned in, the party
doing so remain at the box, so as to
direct the department where to go,
and thus save valuable time. Every
one will see why this is necessary.
Mr.. Phillips also desires to caution
spectators from entering the fire lines
or the buildings where there are fires
in progress. This indescriminate rum
ming back and forth binders the de-
partment, and does more harm than
any good that could possibly be &C
complished.

FOUND GUILTY,
BulOw Fined for Selling Diseased
Meat, but Nav Appeal;

The trial of August Bulow on the
charge of selling diseased meat was
completed Friday afternoon.
DR.. Murray testified that the dis
ease was something similar to lumpy
jaw, and that the entire carcass was
impregnated with it, rendering the
meat unfit and dangerous for human
food.
DR.. Jacoby testified to the same
effect.
Bulow took the stand in his own
defense, and said that he knew that
the animal had' bunch ON it's head,
but he did not sknow that the meat
was dangerous.
The jury was out about half an
hour, and took three ballots, the
first standing seven to two for con-
viction, and on the third all voting
for conviction.
The court fined Bulow $25 and costs,
in default of which he is to serve
sixty days in Jail. BulOw's attorneys
took stay OF twenty days, in which
TO prepare motion for new trial.
They talk as though they would take
the case to the supreme court, on
the ground that the evidence did not
warrant conviction, their motion
that the case be dismissed having
been denied However, the court
gave the jury all of the instructions
requested by the defense.
The verdict gives very general
satisfaction, and the jury has received
many compliments on it's prompt
work.

A WARM JANUARY.
The Present Month Compared With
Last as Regards Temperature.

The month Of January has probably
broken all records in the matter of
temperature. Only on five days has
the temperature fallen below Zero, on
the Bird, 4th, 5th, 18th and 10Th. Last
year, January was considered to be a
reasonably mild month, yet the mer-
curry went below zero on fourteen
days From Jan. 10Th to Feb. 10th,
every day but one or two recorded a
below zero temperature. The first
ten days of February were all very
cold, the temperature going below
zero, but it did not drop below zero
mark again during the month. There
is likely to be plenty of cold weather
the coming month.

NEW LUMBER YARD.
A Company Organized and Will Soon
Start in,

The FREE PRESS got onto little
piece Of news Friday that it feels
called upon to give uD, albeit the
names of the parties at the bottom of
the enterprise cannot be given at
this time for want of authority to do
SO.
a company has been organized and
will soon be incorporated under the
title of the "Union Lumber Com
pany," and a lumber yard will be
opened on large scale. Grounds
have been secured at the foot of Jack
son street just west of the Milwaukee
track, and upon the change of the
Omaha tracks, will be exceptionally
located for transportation facilities.
The company will keep in stock some
thing that has heretofore been want
ing. Such as hard maple flooring,
birds-eye maple, birch and quarter
sawed oak finishing. A complete
stock of doors, sash, demension lum-
Der, and everything to be found in a
first-class lumber yard will be kept in
Stoc
While we have not the authority
for so stating, yet our information is,
to our mind, SO reliable as to warrant
us in saying that Mr.. E. G. Burdick
will be made manager for. the COM
pany. If this shall prove true, Mr..
Burdick's friends will be glad to
know it. And, besides, he will make
an A l man for the place.

FIVE CENTS AHEAD.
The Mankato Pork Market Better
Than Lake Crystal

Than Lake Crystal
Lake Crystal has been making a run
on pork buying during the past few
weeks, on a rising market. The
buyers have been paying every cent
that there was in it, counting for
profit on the advance in price by the
time the hogs should reach Chicago.
The markets are now declining, and
the buyers are more conservative, and
are reported to have lost money.
Friday the highest prices paid at
Lake Crystal were $40, while the
price paid in this city was 1915. One
farmer took load of hogs to Lake
Crystal yesterday and took it away
rather than sell at the prices offered.
This information comes from Lake
Crystal and is reliable.
The advancing markets have oper-
ated against Mankato in this way: A
farmer on Monday learns that 49, 60 is
paid for hogs inMankato;on w ednesday
he hears that they bring So. Is at James,
vile and markets there Thursday for
$3.50 without learning what is paid in
this city. The price has in the mean
while advanced here to 1886 on We'd
nesday, and to $500 on Thursday.
These figures are only used as an illus
tration, and are not intended as
actual quotations at any place. and

name of any town around.

TO RESU1E MONDAY.

The Mankato Knitting mill, which
has been shut down for some time,
started up again Monday with a
full force of employees. The orders
have been coming in fairly well of
late. There were more orders this
month than last January, and a good
many more in December than during
the same month of the previous year.
With factories and other Industries
prospecting and important improve
ments going on, this ought to be a
good year for Mankato.

LONDON, May 22.-At noon today
the house OF commons was still in
session, having been sitting con-
tinuously twenty-one hours. The
deadlock began yesterday after
noon after a discussion of the agri-
cultural rating bill providing for a
reduction of the rates on sgricul-
tural land. The house was in
committee of the whole from 4
o'clock yesterday afternoon and at
O'Clock this morning a closure
was moved. Several members re-
fused to enter a division Of the lob
by whereupon Speaker Mr.. Gully
was summoned and he named
John Dillon, the anti-Parnellite
leader, DIR. Tanner, Donald Sulll-
van, David Lloyd, George and
John Herbert Lewis, the latter
two being Welsh members, for the
disobeying chair. The conserva-
tive leader, Mr.. Bslfour, moved a
suspension Of the members named
for a week and the motion was
carried by a vote of 209 to SO,
Michael Davitt and Daniel Maci-
Jesse, members from South Mayo

persisted in remaining in the house
during the division, whereupon
the sergeant-st-arms was sum-
moned and they were removed.

leader, moved to adjourn the de-
bate, claiming the house was not
in fit condition to continue the
debate, but the speaker declined to
accept this motion, and the dis
cussion continued. Mr.. Balfour
said the government proposed to
continue sitting until the bill

Cnts Uncle Sans Revenue.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, May 22.-
The order OF General Weyler, pro-
hibiting the expectations of tobac
CO from Cuba, has caused conster'
nation among the Cubans OF Flor
ida.
The revenues of the United
States will be cut down at least
ST DOC, 600 from the port of Tampa
alone during the next year, says
Collector Wilson, Of the internal
revenue department, if the orders
are carried out by the Spanish
authorities.
Thousands OF Cubans in Florida
will be thrown out of employment
il there is no Cuban manufacture,
and have nothing to do, these Gu
bans will go over to Cuba and
fight for the independence OF their
native land. 1t is the general
opinion that General Weyler has
made a bad move in issuing any
such order. His object was no
doubt to throw the Cubans in this
country out of employment, and
thus reduce their ability to aid
the cause OF the insurgents finan-
cially, but while he may succeed in
this he will, in reality, have
strengthened the Cuban army to a
great extent and brought the VIC
tory of the Cubans nearer.
