Of the time up to the end.
The deceased enjoyed local prom

nearly all of the time during his

death. He had a wide acquaintance,

"A wrong impression has gone
abroad in the county in regard to the
new law allowing the payment of real
estate taxes in two installments dur
ing the year. This law does not af-
feet the payment of personal property
taxes, which must continue to be paid
at one time, before March 1st, each
year. The law regarding real estate
taxes goes into effect next year, and
under it one-half of the real estate
taxes can be paid before June 1st and
one-half before Nov. 1st.
Engineer Koke reports that more
water has been pumped in September
than during July. This is doubtless
due to the greater demand for sprink-
ling the streets and lawns, and prac-
tically no water was wanted for these
purposes in July. Some lawn hose
is being brought out now for the first
time this summer.

The Concordia band came back Satur

coded on all hands to be the best Of
the six bands that were in the city
Saturday and Sunday.
The weather was perfect, and the
crowds were immense. 1t is estimat.
ed that 10000 people were present
Saturday, when the Herman monu-
ment was unveiled. The crowds yes
terday were still greater, and the fes-
tivities were continued until late
hour. Everyone who went to New
Ulm speaks enthusiastically of the af-
fair. Many who went Saturday
would have remained over Sunday
had they found place to sleep.

TWO FIRES STARTED.
Flames Discovered In the Former
Syrian Abode.

Flames Discovered In the Former
Syrian Abode.
The fire department was called out
at about ten o'clock Saturday night by
fire in the old building owned by
Mrs. May and heretofore occupied by
some of the Syrian colony, across the
street from the old Omaha freight de-
pot. A barrel filled with excelsior
was in flames, underneath shelves
with empty pasteboard boxes. Across
the room was some boxes filled with
goods. The origin of the fire is un-
known, but it is thought to have been
started by an incendiary. The flames
were extinguished with a chemical
before any damage was done.
Sunday night at eleven o'clock
an alarm was sent in from the same
| box. 49, corner of Broad and Washing
ton streets. and it was found
that there was another
| fire IN the same building
as on the night previous. The goods
| had been removed from the building,
and there was nothing bur empty
boxes left. The fire had been started
in another part of the building, but
had not gained so much Roadway that
it was not easily extinguished with a
chemical before any damage could be
done. This fire was also started by
an incendiary, from all appearances,
but there is no clue to the mis-
creant, nor is there any theory ad-
vanced that is sustained by evidence.

A NEW INDUSTRY.
Mankato May Obtain a Shirt and
Garment Factory.
A Proposition Which Includes Large
Improve me nts In East Mankato.

Everyone who knows the push
possessed by our fellow townsma1, h.
P. Christensen, will not be surprised
to know that ne has taken hold OF a
project which, if successful, will be
of much value to the business inter-
ests of our city. For some time he
has had in view the starting OF a
shirt and garment factory in Manka-
to, and to FREE PRESS reporter he
stated today that he had completed
arrangements to push this plan to a
successful termination, with the as
sistance that our citizens may be
willing to give.
Mr.. Christensen has associated with
him a gentleman named Chas. s..
Seeley, who is an expert in the line or
business mentioned. "Gifts or dOna-
tions," said MIR. c., 'are not expected,
asked or desired, nor will the public
be asked to take any stock in this
undertaking. In order to enable rue
to equip the factory, my proposition
is that everyone interested in the
success of the plan purchase one or
more lots in East Mankato, and the
proceeds thus derived shall be US ed
for the establishment of such
factory"
Mr.. Christensen owns over two
hundred lots In East MankatO, and
has concluded to make it one of the
most desirable additions which the
city has. In order to do this, he in
tends to construct thorough system
of drainage by running drain from
the Eagle Lake road through Long
avenue to join connecting drains on
cross streets. In this way, a dry
cellar will be assured to every home
there located. He has already dug a
tubular we'll 23O feet deep, which will
furnish an abundance of water and of
the very best quality. He expects to
put in water mains to the different
parts of the addition. The streets
will be properly finished off. With
these improvements, it must be con-
coded that East Mankato will be a
very desirable residence location.
Under the terms of Mr.. Christen-
sens proposition, the lots will be sold
at the low figure of 5000 each, and can
be paid for in monthly installments
of S. or more as desired. The lots
will certainly be safe investment
for those who do not wish to live
there, and the factory which this sale
will bring to Mankato will prove a
valuable addition to our manufactur.
ing enterprises. While the factory
will benefit the city in many ways, it
will be established without any risk
to those who assist in the enterprise.
The proposition will appeal to
public spirited citizens, for if several
enterprises of similar nature could
be secured, they would stimulate the
growth of the city, raise the valua-
tion of real property, and benefit
business in general. 1t is to
be hoped that Mr.. Christen.
sens offer will be favorably received
and that he will succeed in carrying
out his plan.

Congressman McCIeary Accepts Invi.
tations to Speak In Iowa Cities.

Congressman McCleary has received
the following letter from the Repub-
lican State Central Committee, ad-
dressed from its headquarters at Des
Moines, which will explain itself:
DIES MONIES, Iowa, Sept. 22nd, 1897.
HON. j. II. MCCLEARY,
Mankato, Mimi,
DEAR SIR: - Remembering with
pleasure the speeches which you so
kindly made in Iowa during the last
campaign, we would very much like it
il you would consent to again address
some of our people.
Bryan is making a tour of the state
and will probably make some twenty
or thirty speeches in Iowa, and we
have few points at which we deem
it important to hold big meetings to
offset his work. We would especially
like to have you speak at Muscatine,
Ottumwa and Burlington. The lat
ter place is the home of Senator Gear.
Yours very truly,
l. M. TREYNOR,
Secretary.
Mr.. McCleary has also received the
following invitation:
MUsCATINE, Iowa, Sept. 20, 1897.
HON. j. L. MCCLEARY,
Mankato, MIMI,
DEAR SIR:-Our people we're so we'll
pleased with you last year that gen.
eral desire has been expressed to hear
from you again and l write to ascer-
tain if we could make a date with
you, and if so when, and what would
be the expense of same? Please let
me have an early reply. Would try to
get big tent for rally for you if we
could have your services.
Yours very truly,
WILL M. NARvIS,
Chairman.
Congressman McCleary will accept
the invitations. The fact that he is
expected to Offset the impression left
by Bryan proves that he is held in the
very highest consideration by the Re-
publican committee. That he will
fulfill the expectations resting upon
him, his friends who know his power
upon the speakers stand are fully as
sured.
