SAN Francisco, July 90. The steam

day from Puget Sound ports, brought
down almost $500, 600 worth of Alaskan
gold, of which sI33, 700 was in gold
dust from Seattle, consigned to Wells.
Fargo & Co. There were several
other shipments of gold In sacks, some
of which was shipped direct from
juneau. and advices from til place
are to the effect that at least 900, 900
worth of dust was awaiting shipment
at various Alaskan stations.
Among the sensational ndvices re-
ceived was one from st. Michaefs to
the effect that over 81, 100000 in gold
which had not been included with the
fortunes brought here by miners, will
be shipped through Wells, Fargo &
Co. other lucky miners having reached
the island since the departure of the
Excelsior and Portland who have Sc
cured greater fortunes individually
than those whose stories have already
been told.
Although the capacity of the steamer
Portland, which sails to-day for st
Michaels, and the Excelsior, which.
sails on the 2sth, is limited to about
110 passengers, over /, 200 applications
have been made for berths. Most of
the disappointed ones are making ar
rangements to travel hence TO Tacoma

Away-His Public Career

Away-His Public Career
BURLINGTON, Kan, July Eek
Congressman Harrison Kelly died here
this morning at 4:30 o'clock of Brights
disease, after a long sickness. He was
a native of Ward county, Ohio, where
he was born, May 12, 1886. He was
reared on farm, and received a COM
mon school education. In 1853 he
came to Kansas, settling on govern
ment land in Coffey county, near the
town of Ottumwa. He was improving
| his claim when the war broke out,
and enlisted as private in the Fifth
Kansas cavalry, serving through all
grades to captain.
In 1865 Mr.. Kelley returned to his
claim in Kansas, where he made his
home until few years ago he bought
farm adjoining the townsite of Bur
lington, where he lived until his
| death. In 1865 he was appointed Il
brigadier general of the Kansas mill
tia. In 1868 he was appointed di-
rector of the state penitenti tiary, serv-
ing five years.
member of the House OF Representa-
tives. In 1880 he was elected to the
state senate. In addition to the Of
fees named he was prior to 1880 re-
ceiver of the United States land office
at Topeka, assistant assessor of inter-
nal revenue, chairman of the livestock
sanitary commission and chairman of
the state board of charities.
In 1888 Mr.. Kelley was elected to
Congress as Republican, succeeding
Thomas Ryan. In 1890 he was de-
featcd for reelection by Otis, Populist
or Farmers alliance.
Soon after this defeat Kelley startled
the state by renouncing his allegiance
to the Republican party and confess
ing the faith of the Peoples party.
After that time he was a Populist
until his death. He declined all

TO IMPROVE CREAMERY WORK.

A bill was introduced in the legis-
lature short time ago providing for
two instructors to go around among
the creameries of the state giving in
struction that will lead to a higher
order of butter making. 1t is based
upon the same idea which has pre-
vailed in Canada and some of our
sister dairy states, we believe, of
inaugGrating a work which will lead
TO a more uniform, as we'll as higher
grade of butter through the state, and
therefore give our dairy product bet.
ter reputation abroad and hence a
better price. Minnesota has made
great progress along dairy lines dur
the past few years, and there is still
chance for considerable improvement.
There is no reason why the product
turned out from its2creamerieS should
not take rank as the best in the world,
and the bill referred to has this very
point in view. It has been seen how
the creamery will take the milk of a
locality and at once raise the average
standard of quality of the butter Of
Ghat locality. Some creameries make
greater efforts along this line then
others. Those having the manage
ment in hand are more alert, they
watch things better, they keep in bet
ae7 touch with the times, they study
the most improved methods, they are
on hand at all gatherings where eX-
pegtS in dairy matters congregate.
The object of the bill referred to, as
we understand it, is to put into the
6eld two experts in creamery work.
'whO,shall work under the authority
OF the state experiment station. MIN
DeSota must look abroad for market
for the greater share of her creamery
product, and the better and more uni
form it is, the larger will the returns
be. The idea Of the bill, if fully car
gied out, would seem to be good Que,
and be of great value to our dairy in-
aerests, and hence to the whole state.

LINCOLN'S DAY.

Friday was the anniversary of the
birth Of one of Americas greatest
patriots. And being a great patriot
the anniversary of his birth is one OF
the best days Of the year in which to
spread before the people lessons in
patriotism. Lincoln believed in this
government as a government of the
people, and because it is govern
ment of the people, because its laws
are made and executed by the voice
of the people, is one of the greatest
reasons why patriotism of the highest
order should prevail. The glory Of
anation is said to be in her great
men, and this is truly so when a ma
tion can enroll among her great
names those of men like Lincoln. The
more closely Lincoln's character is
studied, the more he looms up as a
giant among his fellows. He ap-
pears to have been as perfectly unset
fish as it is possible for man to be.
He was ambitious as any man must be
who arises to great places among his
fellowmen, and he took pride in the
fact that if he did his work well he
would leave an honorable name to be
remembered by posterity. But aside
from all this in the great work that
he did he seemed to almost entirely
forget self, and think only of the ma
tion and the people. He knew that
many of his motives were misinter-
pEeted by his associates and that his
actions were often cruelty criticised,
but he relied upon time to straighten
these matters out and set him right
and well it has done this. The story
of his life cannot be too often repeat.
ed, and the custom which is growing
to use it for the purpose of teaching
patriotism in the schools of the land
cannot be too highly commended. So
hong as this is done and the purposes
of his life impressed upon the youth
of the land and adhered to by them,
th e republic will not stray from the
path Of right and justice.

CABINET RUnORs.

1t is given out on pretty good au-
shortly that Major Mckinley will not
take the public into his confidence
regarding the remainder OF the
cabinet appointments, and that moth
;pg more will be definitely known
about them until the same are sent Ia
the senate On March 5th. The reason
for this is said to be that MIR. McKin-
Iey does not yet know to just what
places several of the proposed cabinet
officials will be assigned. The decli'
patton of Judge Golf for attorney
general has charged The situation
somewhat, and it is rumored that
Judge McKenDa, of California, may
be attorney general instead OF score,

ment. This is as yet nothing more
than a rumor, yet it may grow into
something more definite. The reason
The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1897-02-19

for it is based on the fact that theFor'
aker faction is said to be trying to use
the vacancy Sherman's transference
would make, to its own advantage,
and against Mckinley. And there is
little question that if there is any
truth in this it will hardly be allow,
ed. Major Mckinley is not pursuing
a policy that tends to strengthen any
particular faction in any, state at the
expense of the party, and he
will hardly be likely to dc
so in his own state, and if the
pOlit icians attempt to profit through
factional moves from anything he
may do, they may find him to be con-
siderable of factor in the field, and
yet able to checkmate their schemes.
M ajor Mckinley has great work to
do in his administration with many
di fficult problems to meet and solve,
and while his policy is not yet fully
known and is doubtless not wholly
decided upon by himself and his i'm
mediate advisors, it is known that he
will bend every energy to bring to it's
support not only the entire Republi-
can party, but all people who desire a
strong business administration, and
resultant good times.
