CONGRESS AGAIN.

The extra session of the 55th con-
gress convened in extra session at
noon Tuesday, and Thos. B. Reed
was again elected Speaker of the
house. President Mckinley trans
mitted his message to the two hOnses.
1t was short but to the point, show
ing the necessity for legislation for
the purpose of securing more revenue
to meet the needs of the government.
He calls attention to the issuance Of
1852, 1000, 900 in bonds in the last ad-
ministratiou, and also the fact that
in the past three years there has
grown up deficit of $137, 81 900, and
that for the month Of January last
the deficit was nearly 100000 and
for February over S4,000,000. He
briefly reviewed the state of the
treasury for each fiscal year for the
past three years, and showed that
while there had been decreases
in the expenditures of the govern
ment during periods of that time, the
revenues had failed to meet it's needs.
He also called attention to another
fact, that since March l, 1889 the
public debt has been decreased over
$3.50, 900, 900, and the interest charge
over 81, OO0,O and that since 1893
the public debt has been increased
1862, 900, 900, with an interest charge
of over 100000. In closing the
president says that in raising reve-
nue. duties should be so levied upon
foreign products as to preserve home
market so far as possible to our own
producers: to revive and increase
manufactures: to relieve and encOur-
age agriculture, to increase our
domestic and foreign commerce; to
aid and develop mining and building:
and to render to labor in every field of
useful occupation the liberal and ade-
quate rewards to which skill and in
dustry are justly entitled" This
places the situation exactly as it is,
and the recommendation is what
would be expected from President Nc
Kinley. The government needs some
$50, 100000 more revenue, and that
should be placed so as to afford our in
dustries proper protection, and give
home labor the first chance of supply
ing the home market. That is what
the Republican party proposes to do,
and that is what the Dingley bill
which was introduced in the house
yesterday afternoon will doubt
less accomplish. Congress cannot
do better than to follow the advice of
President Mckinley and Speaker
Reed act promptly upon this matter
and give the country quiet.

WILL NOT HOVE.
The nodeI Clothing House May Have
Increased Quarters.

There has been a rumor that the
Model Clothing House would move in
to the adjoining store room, to be
vacated by ]. j. Gould, and that j. B.
& D. Richards would occupy the
Model corner.
When asked Wednesday as to the
truth of this report, Mr.. Hance stated:
There is no truth whatever to it. [
have leased the room now occupied by
the Model for a term Of ten years, Of
Mr.. Stern. The latter has proposed
to me that the building be increased
in size by building an addition on the
rear and by taking out the partition
between this room and Mr.. Gould's.
If this is done, we will put in several
additional lines of stock, such as
groceries, dry goods, ETC., and will ask
no favors but push our business on a
strictly cash business. I would have
no fear of the result. Mr.. Gould has a
three years lease OF the store which
he is occupying, and don't know
what he intends to do with the room
if he moves out. He will probably
suitcase it,"
Mr.. D. Richards was seen in regard
to the matter,and said: 'There is
nothing in the report that we
intend to move. Our lease
of our present quarters does
not expire for nearly two years.
When 1 was in Chicago last week, 1
had little talk with Mr.. Stern about
his corner, but he told me that Mr..
Hance had leased it of him for ten
years at good rental, and referred
me to him. We are crowded for room,
and would be glad to have larger
quarters before very long, but there
is no deal on foot, now"

HEARING PUT OVER.
The Second Case Against the Diemels
and ToChtrops.
The Examination May Take Place
Next Week Friday.

The hearing in the case against
Mrs. Annie Diemel, August Wendt
and Mr.. and Mrs. Tochtrop, on the
charge of grand larceny in the second
degree, was .set for Wednesday, and
large crowd was present.
County Attorney Hughes asked for
a continuance of the case, as
his colleague in the case, Mr..
Pau, had sbeen unavoidably detained
at St. James. He did not like to pro-
coed with the case without Mr. Pfau,
and the court did not seem to be
physically able to stand the strain of
another hearing at this time.
Attorney Young opposed the re-
quest for a continuance, on the ground
that Mr.. and Mrs. Tochtrop are under
the care of physician and are get
ting worse This court business was
something new to-, them and they
were worrying over it. If the court
was not able to proceed, however, the
request would not be opposed. 1t
was not necessary for Mr.. Pau to be
present to proceed.
Judge Shissler said that he should
not have continued the case for the
absence of Mr.. Pau. If the court
was to consult ITSELF. Mr.. Shissler
said that he ought to be in bed in
stead of there. He had gathering in
his head, which had broken and was
running out of one ear, affecting his
hearing so that it, would be difficult
to try the case. If it was no hardship
to anyone, he would ask both sides to
defer the hearing.
Messrs. Young and Schmitt con-
suited with Mrs. Diemel and then
proposed to waive the eXamina-
tion of Mr.. and Mrs. Tochtrop, and
have Mrs. Diemel's later The bail of
the old people was placed at $500 each,
and it was understood that if they
were unable to obtain bail they should
have their hearing Friday, March
26th. at 900 a. m. Mrs. Diemel will
have her hearing then, also,
and her bail was placed at
500, she having been required
to,furnish $3.50 bail in the other case.
The bail was placed low, so that she
may be able to get out and care for
her parents. AS March 26th is the
day Of the Democratic city conven-
tion, the,court will meet in the Board
of Trade room during the afternoon.

SHOULD NOT LOAD DOWN THE
COURT.

The state senate judiciary commit
tee had a hearing Tuesday afternoon
on what is known as the Whitney bill,
requiring the judges of the supreme
court to give the legislature opinions
on the constitutionaIity of acts when
requested. Opposition has developed
against the measure on the ground
that the supreme court has too much
work to do now, and it should not be
loaded down with more. This seems
to be point we'll taken. If legisla-
tors would cOnfine themselves to the
legitimate work before them, and give
it the practical consideration that
they ought to, there would not be the
trouble in enacting so much legisla-
tion that turns out to be unconstitu-
tianal. The desire that has sprung up
of late years to regulate everything
and everybody by legislative enact
ment is responsible for much of this
trouble. If this Whitney bill should
pass, the attention of the supreme
court would be likely to be taken up
during nearly all the time of legis-
lative session, in passing upon mat.
tiers that lie within the sole provision
of the legislature, to the exclusion of
the business that it should transact.
The duty of the courts, or at least one
of them, is to pass upon the consti-
nationality of such measures after they
have been enacted, if questioned.
Again, it is not certain that even the
opinion of the supreme judges upon a
measure would be proof against it's
enactment and cluttering up the
statute books, though doubtless as
rule it would exert strong influence
against the measure. If the proper
thought and care were given to legis-
lation that ought to be given, and the
desire to regulate everything some
what buried, much of the legislation
that is declared unconstitutional
would never make it's appearance up
on our statute books.

SHEEP RALLY AT CARVER.

A sheep rally will be held at Carver
on Friday the 10Th inst. 1t will be
held under the auspices of the
Farmers Institute. 1t is the first
rally of the kind ever held in Mime
sofa. Its object is chiefly to dissent
nate information among farmers with
reference to the fattening of sheep,
more particularly such stocks as are
grown upon the ranges.
Range sheep are usually healthy,
and if properly fed, the hazard Of loss
is but little. They are never swept
away in wholesale fashion as hogs
are by hog cholera and swine plague.
The feeding process is very simple.
That information regarding this
question may be freely disseminated,
this meeting is called. First class
speakers, who have made success of
this business in .the'sstate of Mime
sofa, will be present on the platform
to give synopsis of their methods.
These include W. j. Boynton, Of
Rochester, Mimi. W. A. Henderson,
of Waseca, Mimi, and Alexander
Gum, of GAINESVILLE. E. q. Jeffrey, of
Minneapolis, will be present to speak
on the sources of supply from the
range. General Flower and A. E.
Prouty, of South St. Paul, will also
give addresses with reference to the
source of supply from the stock yards,
at later period than they can be
bought from the range, and also with
reference to arrangements that will
be made there for the dipping of
sheep as safeguard against the in
PRODUCTION of disease. Prof. J. A.
Craig, of Madison, Wis, will also give
an address, and other persons from
our own state.
The Minneapolis and ST. Louis rail.
road have agreed to carry passengers
from all.points on their lines of road,
between Mankato, Albert Lea, New
Ulm and Minneapolis, at one and one
third fare round trip.

NOT UNTIL JULY.
North Mankato VIII Get Postal Relief
at That Time.

While in Washington, the editor of
the FREE PRESS, in company with
Congressman McCleary, called upon
the First Assistant Postmaster Gen.
eral in reference to affording relief in
postal matters to the people of North
Mankato. Some of the residents of
that locality are DESTROYS of having an
independent postoffice established
there, while others would be quite
satisfied with carrier service.
The subject was discussed briefly
with the department official, and he
said it was the policy of the depart
ment to consolidate postoffices where
ever possible and to extend the carrier
system wherever needed. He said
further that owing to the deficiency
in the postal revenues nothing could
be done before the beginning Of the
next fiscal year-July 1st-at which
time carrier would be provided for
North Mankato, but that the question
of establishing an Independent office
there would not receive favorable con-
sideration.
Now what the people of North Man.
kato should do is to incorporate, num-
Der their houses and be fully prepared
by the first of July to demand special
carrier service. 1t will be necessary,
before carrier service is established,
however, to have the houses numbered
and streets named, if the latter has
not already been done. To accom-
plish this will consume much of the
time between this and the first OF
July even if action is begun soon
The idea of securing an independent
postoffice may as well be abandoned
for, as above stated, the department
is decidedly aversed to this, while il
| is disposed to furnish carrier service
if the people of the territory interested
are disposed to comply with the re
quirements of numbering their houses
and naming their streets.

One Of the best known men about the In
dianapolis Board of Trade is Carlos F. Shep-
ard, who for several years has been con-
nected with the house of II. E. Kinney, grain
broker. Mr.. Shepard is bluff, hearty, old
gentleman of medium height, gray-headed
and with a mustache like a French veteran.
He is a man of very decided views on all
subjects and is especially orthodox in poll
tics and medicine. Notwithstanding his firm
ness in his convictions and the vigor with
which he maintains them he is a man of many
friends for manly men, even though some
times obstinate in their opinions, have the
force of character that win admiration and
friendship.
So a few months ago when the news came
70 his old associates on the Board of Trade
that Mr.. Shepard had received a stroke of
paralysis and that the probabilities were that
his days of usefulness were over, and that
perhaps, his hours were numbered, the deep
est sympathy went out to the smitten man
and his family. 1t seemed to all his friends
almost impossible that this rugged old man,
always so wholesomely hearty and cheerful,
always a picture of health for

could have been so suddenly laid low. But
it was true and many weeks passed before
his well.known form and kindly face re.
turned to his former business haunts. His
temperance was made the occasion of a
hearty welcome and the story of his illness
and recovery is well worth the telling.

Ed. Summers Shows Disrespect for
rIapleton Populist's Whiskers.

County..Attorney Hughes was called
to Mapleton Tuesday to appear for
the state in an action for assault
brought by John Hussey against Ed.
Summers. Hussey is a we'll known
Populist, and'glories in a fine brush
under his chin, allie same PETER.
Summers claimed that Hussey owed
him two dollars, and as Hussey re-
fused to pay it, the young man met
him in saloon'a week ago today and
said that he would take it out
of his face, so Hussey says,
and took a handful of whiskers
to satisfy the debt. Hussey
says that Summers took good measure
-one.third of all there were.
Summers told slightly different
story on the stand. He said that he
took Hussey gently by the beard and
in sort of confidential yet impress
sive manner invited his debtor to re-
tire with him to the back yard, and
that Hussey declined the invitation
with thanks. He said that the mat
ter ended there, the beard being left
intact.
The witnesses, although apparent
ly sympathizing with the defendant,
made out good case for the state
Justice Davis decided that Summers
had taken three dollars worth of Hus
sey's Pefferian glory, and the fine ano
costs amounted to S29.16, which was
paid. Attorney U. G. Argetsingel
appeared for the defendant, and the
court room was crowded. All kinds
of fun was had during the trial.
