A PLEASING ENTERTAINMENT.
A Mankato Boy Appears With Blei's
VaudeVilleS.

Blei's Schiller Vaudevilles opened a
two nights engagement at the Man.
kato theatre Tuesday, before fair
sized audience. The company is a
good one for it's kind, and each spe-
-cialist is an artist in his or her line.
The contortionist is an old MankatO
boy, Mr.. Sherman, who graduated
from the high school two or three
years ago, and with whose ability on
the stage Mankato people are,familiar.
He has added number of almost i'm
possible feats to his performance, and
is the equal of any that we have seen.
He was greeted with applause when
he first made his appearance, and was
given an ovation afterwards.
The entertainment closed with
Lumiere's Cinematographe, another
name for the apparatus which pro-
jects the living photographs upon a
screen on the curtain. 1t worked
satisfactorily, and some of the views
created applause, including that of
the saving of the horses from the
burning barn and the waves striking
a breakwater in Lake Michigan.

SIOUX WAR CHIEF.
Looks Upon the Levee Where the
Necktie Party Occurred.

A war chief of the Sioux nation
was in MankatoTuesday rugged out in
all his toggery of beads, feathers and
the picturesque costume Of the Indian
chiefs. He was on his way from a
visit in North Dakota, to his tribe.
which is located somewhere south
west of Sioux City, and was seen by a
FREE PRESS reporter at the union
depot. AS he looked out over the
levee, he may or may not have known
that thlrty-eight of his tribe had
stretched hemp there one winter day
about third of a century ago, and
within the memory of many who are
now living in this city. He was pro-
badly not born at that time, for
the chief could not have yet
turned thirty, but has doubtless
heard the story of the execution re-
peated by the old men of his tribe to
cool the fire of his young ambition. He
may have had thoughts at times of
returning to avenge the execution,
with the Indian instinct of life for
life, although the execution of
thirty-eight worthless redskins was
poor retribution for the massacre of
eight hundred white settlers On the
Minnesota prairies at time when the
men were supposed to be drawn off to
the civil war.
The young chief did not display
much emotion, and sat looking at the
people with stolid or half sullen
interest, after he had taken taste
of the fresh and bracing air. He was
picture of health and strength, and
no doubt regretted the signs OF
civilization and the white faces
everywhere.

He has studied the cause and believes
it to be overlooking. Therefore he
begins the tr atment of case by re-
gulating the feed. He excludes every
thing deleterious and makes the guam
tity regular. The hog cholera breaks
out, Mr.. Baumgartner observes, dur
ing the fattening the animals for
market. The hogs are taken of grass
and put on corn with which they are
permitted to gorge themselves. Be-
sides they are permitted to eat any
thing in the barnyard. The result is
that they fatten too rapidly and
cholera and fever develop. Irregu-
larity in feeding Mr.. Baumgartner
considers very bad, for the process of
tattening after the total or partial ab-
stinence is too rapid. Hogs may be
fattened with safety by gradually in
creasing the feed, but a violent
change or a break in the feeding after
the period of high feeding has been
reached, is attended with danger.
The people who live in the cities do
not appreciate how great a loss has
been sustained by the farmers of Iowa
during the past season because of the
rayageS of hog cholera. Nearly 2,OOO,-
600 hogs have died from the lncuraDle
and dread disease, and Chief Sage, of
the Iowa weather and crop service, es-
Inmates that the loss to the farmers
of Iowa has been $15,000,00O. Speak
ing Of the matter, Chief Sage said:
"The disease seems to have been most
prevalent in a belt five counties wide
across the state from north to south
and least prevalent in seven north
eastern counties of the state. The
central belt is the great corn raising
section and the northeastern group OF
counties is the great dairy district
Mr.. Baumgartner has been stu
dent of hogs and their diseases for
the past twenty years. He expert
mented for long time for remedy
and tried many things. Hog after
hog was killed to find the result of
the medicine. Finally the remedy
was hit upon. For three years past
Mr.. Baumgartner has been curing the
disease, but was in Oblivion until the
Milwaukee people took him up. His
medicine, which is in powder form, is
manufactured at Poetone, Ill.

VALUABLE" ADVICE.
A Correspondent Don't Want Con-
tracts Given to Lowest Bid
detS-HiS Reasons.

Mr.. FREE PRESS EDITOR: l read
your paper and you say you like it not
because the council did not give to
the lotoest bidder the contract for the
the foot bridge. You think some
man who live not in the city if he
make the lowest bid then he ought to
have the job. You say if the council
advertise for bids and then give not
the contract to the lowest bidder just
because he does not live in the city
then all contractors who don't live in
the city will be mad and won't never
put in any more bids ION any oother
jobs in Mankato, and you think that
would be bad for the city! Now just
here is where you sthink wrong. Ii
out side contractors never will bid on
any more jobs in Mankato that will
be good thing, because the contractors
who live in Mankato can all get in
one big ring and put in bid for a
big price. Mebby they could get
double price and so make lots Of
money for themselves and other and
that is good thing. Many years ago
when l live in Chicago the council
give the contracts to lowest bidders
and they 60 so cheap that contrac sors
could not afford to give any Doodle.
So they make it all changed, and the
highest bidder offers Doodle to some
body in the council and then he gets
the contract and makes lots of money
besides some Doodle for alderman and
then Chicago grows and gets to be
awful big city. If we do like they do
in Chicago then mebby we be big
city ito. CONTRACTOR.

1T MAY BE SETTLED.
The Minnesota Bridge Footway Con-
tract nay be Awarded.

Mayor Weaver stated yesterday
that he thought that the council
would vote at the next meeting to
award the bridge sidewalk contract
to the Minnesota Bridge and Iron
Works. He.thought that four votes
would be forthcoming. Having
brought the matter to the attention
of the council, he had done all that
he cared to.
Commissioner Roberts feels that
the council ought to have awarded
the contract to the Milwaukee COM
pany, nd is afraid that unless this is
done before the meeting of the county
board Feb. End, the board will with
draw it's donation of $500 toward the
bridge. The people of the county
will not be satisfied with any other
award of the contract except to the
lowest bidder on the best plan, and 1t
is feared that pressure will be brought
to bear on the outside commissioners
to prevent the payment of the $500.
The people of Belgrade feel that
the contract should be awarded to the
Milwaukee company for the various
reasons that have been advanced.
There seems to be but one opinion on
this'auestion on the north side, from
the expressions which have come to
US.
Among the citizens of Mankato
with whom we have talked, the be-
lief is unanimous that the Milwaukee
company should have the contract in
all fairness and justice. Wonder is
felt that there is any alderman who
does not see this.
Surprise is expressed that the coun-
Gil, as the trustee of the $500 advanced
by the county and Belgrade, should
seek to award the contract to other
than the lowest bidder on the best
plan. The Haynes plan was selected
by vote of five TO two for the Klein
schmidt plan, and the Milwaukee
company is the lowest bidder on the
Haynes plan. The council, it is ar
-gued, is morally bound to get the best
possible return for the money entrust-
ed to it's care.
