After going some distance, the box

Teissen and two children that were
riding with him were caught and i'm
prisoned under it. Chief Yates
happened to be close by and lifted up
the box and released them. The

kato for the year ending Dec. 3lst,
1896. It is a splendid showing, and
one that reflects great credit upon the
management The association was or
ganized in 1894, and in less than three
years it has grown from nothing to
the most prosperous mutual fire in
surance company in the state. 1t
started out by giving the insured the
benefit of 20 per cent rate less than
that offered by the old line companies,
which means large saving to those
carrying fire insurance. Besides this,
every policy holder who has carried a
policy one year has received a divi-
dend of 10 per cent. on the amount of
premiums paid in.
The association is now upon an
absolutely safe and sound basis. De-
spite the. depression existing in bust
ness circles during 1896, the state
ment shows cash .on hand and in
banks on the last day of December
S2l, 1880 as against S9,749. 55 the cor
responding date of '95. The total fire
risks written in 1896 amounted to g.
235, O09 90 as against 81 ,643, los 90 in 80.
The cash premiums received in 1896
amounted TO $44, $40 81 as against S27,-
42S. SO in '95.
In 1895 the association paid for fire
losses S12, 3O2.16, while 10 1896 with
nearly double liability in risks, the
total losses by fire foots up to only
SIS, 259.3l, showing great care in the
selection of desirable risks.
The growth of business of the asso-
citation in these times of extreme
stringency, coupled with the fact
that all new ventures OF this kind
have to combat the opposition of the
old line companies, is almost pheuo-
menal, and is proof positive thai tue
principle upon which insurance is
taken is the correct one and to the
benefit of policy holders.
The present year gives promise OF
making a relatively greater gain over
the business of '96 than that years
business was over 95.
When business men can get good

listic board companies, they are going

HIGH WATER.
Are We Going to Have Flood This
Spring?
The Ice Breakers Should Be
Strengthened.

A good many people are wondering
whether the Minnesota river is going
on one of its periodical sprees this
spring. The amount of snow on the
ground all over its watershed is I'M
usually large, and little is being
added almost every day. There has
been noJanuarythaw this year, and the
warm. weather that has occurred dur
ing the past few days has served to
evaporate but very little of the snow.
The conditions are a good deal the
same as they were sixteen years ago,
when the river broke it's record and
backed up into Second street. The
thaw occurred late in the season that
year, and the melted snow and rain
ran over the frozen surface of the
ground and filled every tributary of
the Minnesota.
Engineer Haynes attributed the
high water Of 1881 to the fact that
a vast amount Of water spread over
the ground at the headwaters of the
Red River of the North and as that
river did not break up as soon as the
Minnesota did it backed over the
ridge and was precipitated into the
Minnesota. If the same thing should
happen this year, high water would
be sure to follow.
The high water of 1881 occurred in
April, just after the ice had gone out.
Great currents of water ran over each
approach of the bridge, and force of
men in boats patrolled the river above
the bridge and with axes cut off the
limbs of snags that projected above
the surface of the water. In this way
every floating object was safely pass
ed under the bridge and no danger to
that structure occurred However,
owing to the fear that the bridge
might be unsafe, nobody was allowed
upon it.
The ice breakers above the piers are
in bad shape, and should be built up
before the spring thaw occurs. These
proved of the greatest value in turn
ing ice cakes and snags from the piers
sixteen years ago, and they should be
put in the best possible condition in
preparation for high water this
spring. The bridge cost too much
money to run any risk of endangering
it by insufficient ice breakers, when
small expenditure would restore the
latter.

MINNESOTA STREET CULVERT.
Numerous Contractors Want the Job
of Building 1t.

The board of public works opened
bids Monday for the construc-
tlon of the culvert over Warren s
creek in Minnesota street, ordered at
the meeting of the council last Satur-
day night. Engineer Haynes esti-
mates that there are sixty-eight yards
of masonry if the culveTt if not ex-
tended entirely across the street, and
40 yards if it goes from one side to
the other. There is also 1886 square
yards of cover. The bids were called
for by the cubic yard on the masonry
and by the square yard on the cover
ing, and were as follows:
Weimer & Co., masonry, So 75
John Pusch, masonry, So 30, cover,
Is cents.
D. p. Hayes, masonry, 1886.
j. Landkammer, masonry, S265,

Marin Nelson, masonry, So. 90.
r. III. Buttemer, masonry. 81 10.
Ole A. Moen & Co., masonry, 1886,

Mr.. Nelson bid on the cover by
cubic yards by mistake, his figure be-
ing $3.50
JOAN Bowen bid So 80 on the
masonry, l. cents on the covers, and
% cents per cubic yard on the excava-
tiun. This ruled the bid out, as it
coud not be compared with the
others. The other bidders made DO

The pastor of the Presbyterian
church and his good wife, after an
absence of about three months, re-
turned to Mankato yesterday, and the
ladies of the Fourth division arranged
to give them a welcome at the church
parlors in the evening A large num-
Der of members of the church as well
as goodly sprinkling of those who
compose the congregation outside the
membership, were present to extend
a hearty and sincere welcome to the
pastor, and an evening of genuine
pleasure was passed. 1t was social
Of a most sociable kind. Mrs. Parry,
Mrs. Patterson and Miss Holt render
ed some excellent music, after which
the ladies OF the division served coffee
and doughnuts in the dining room.
Mr.. and Mrs. Beattie .both look
greatly improved in health as indeed
they are. Mr.. Beattie has put on an
additional twenty-five pounds of good
healthy flesh, and looks really better
than he ever. did. He says the long
rest makes him feel like a new man,
and his old time vigor and cheerful
ness is visible ia every act. He will
fill his pulpit at the usual hours to-
morrow morning and evening.

THE POLITICAL SITUATION
Who Will Be the Next Mayer of
rlaukato?
Some of the AIdernianiC Timber in
Different Wards

Alderman Andrews will not return
to MankatO until after the Inaugural.
tion of President Mckinley. After
his return it will take some hard
work to restore his fences, for there
can be no doubling the fact that they
have been suffering during bis alb
sence. Whether his being away from
the city at this time was a good move
from a political point of view or not
remains to be seen. He will not get
the Republican nomination for mayor
without fight, and an impartial OBJ
server cannot but see that the straWs
now point to Mayor Weaver succeed
ing himself Mr.. Weaver is under
stood to have agreed two years ago to
stand aside this year in case DR.. An
drews wanted the nomination, and it
is not probable that he will encourage
the movement On his own behalf un-
til it becomes apparent that DR.. An
drews' cannot secure the nomination.
Should such contingency arise, his
supporters say that he would be alb
solved from his promise, if there was
promise.
Should Mayor Weaver receive the
Republican nomination for mayor,
the chances are that the Democrats
would not name an opposing candi-
date, but if DR.. Andrews should be
nominated there will undoubtedly be
a fight. DIR. Andrews would prove
formidable adversary, and it is doubt
full whether he could be defeated by
any Democratic nominee in fair
fight, although there is always the
element Of doubt.
Alderman Ed. Bradley's name has
been mentioned in connection with
the mayoralty, but he assures the
FREE PRESS that he would not accept
the nomination under any considera-
tion. He makes the same statement
in regard to a second term as alder
man, but less emphatically, and his
closest friends believe that he can be
persuaded to accept the aldermanic
nomination, which would be equiva-
lent to reelection in his case.
Aid. Lille will be candidate again
in the Sixth ward, and thus far no
one else has been seriously mentioned,
but that is fighting ward when it
comes down to local politics, and SO
good an opportunity will not be al
lowed to pass.
Mr.. Gus Widell is in the hands of
his friends in the Third ward, and his
friends will see that he gets his old
seat in the council. Aid. Himmel-
man has said that he would not be a
candidate under any consideration.
Aid. Adams will stand for reelec-
tion in the First ward, and we have
not yet heard of any other candidate
there.
Should Aid. Peterson's constituents
desire to have him continue to occupy
his present seat, he will doubtless not
oppose their wishes.
The Republican nomination for city
recorder now lies between A. g. Mat
ter and Perry Rutan, and they will
4
in the convention.
