LUCKY, OR UNLUCKY?
A Peculiar Accident that BefeIl Lars
johnson Once Before.

Lars Johnson, the man injured at
the cement works, continues to i'm
prove. This is not the first accident
that he has met with. A year ago
he was working on one of the rail-
roads that center in Mankato, and
one day started out on hand car
with some other men. Another hand
car full of men followed about thirty
feet behind the first one. johnson
lost his balance and fell backward on
the track and was run over by the
second car. WHICH was thrown from
the track and the seven men who
were riding on it were spilled off.
Johnson was onot badly hurt, and
after being treated by DR. Webster
for a couple of weeks was around
again.
Johnson is powerfully built
fellow, and can stand what would be
certain death to men Of less vigorous
makeup. Dr.. Webster did not recog-
nize him the first day at the hospital,
but Johnson spoke up yesterday and
asked him whether he remembered
the case of last year.

limited divorce which she will at once
institute against her husband. The
complaint charges Carlson with cruel
and inhuman treatment, using abusive
language and habitual drunkenness,
and says that on Aug. oath last he
threatened to kill his wife and
violently threw knife at her. The
complaint goes on to say that Carlson
spends his time and money in
saloons and neglects himself, so that
he is dirty, loathsome and foul smell
ling, and not fit to be in the house or
to associate with"

AN ALLEGED ASSAULT.

Geo. Ulman, brother of Barber
Henry Ulman, complained to the po-
liceFriday that he washeld up'byDtwo
parties at about 1890 O'clock last
night, on North Sixth street. He
says that one of his assailants tried to
strike him, but that he lodged the
blows, as he is little handy with
his fists, himself. He tried to borrow
revolver from a neighbor, and re-
turned and made bluff at the high
waymen as though he was going to
draw revolver, when they ran away
without getting any of his money. He
secured their club, and subsequently
his brother accompanied him home.
Previous to the assault, the high
waymen offered UIman a drink from
bottle, which he did not put aside
He has the names of his assailants,
and says that he will swear out
warrant for their arrest.

COUNCIL IS DELAYING.
Will Not Act on the Walnut Street
Sidewalk.

The meeting of the Board of Trade
Monday was one Of the briefest
on record. Vice President Farr pre-
sided in the absence of President
Shoemaker.
M. B. Haynes, Of the special COM
mittee on the Walnut street sidewalk,
reported that the council evidently
intends to let the matter go over this
year. There is opposition to the walk
in the council, and it looks as though
the council does not intend to do any
thing.
John Klein said that he had gotten
figures and ideas in regard to the city
market at Milwaukee, but as the city
cannot buy the ground needed for the
market it would be useless for him to
make report.
There being no other business, the
board adjourned, after a ten minutes
session.

A discussion as to the method of
collecting tuition took place, and the
fact came out that there is very lit
tie system to it, and no way'of check
ing up the teachers.
The treasurer's report showed that
80 cents had been received for broken
glass and So for old iron. The fact
was recalled by members that 200
lights of glass had been replaced the
past summer in the Union, Franklin
and West Mankato buildings and
paid for by the board. 1t was
thought that the money received for
broken lights was entirely dispro-
portionate 20 the number broken.
On motion of DR.. Davis, the reports
were accepted and ordered printed in
two papers, as provided by law, and
the FREE PRESS and Reuiew were
designated as the papers in which
they should be published.
Mr. Fletcher arose and spoke Of the
fact that DR.. Davis and Mr.. Jones
were about to leave the board. He
said they were old members and had
put in their services in good faith and
had gotten nothing in return but
abuse. 1t was proper that the board
should adopt some expression to show
the good faith and judgment that
these members had put into their
duties. He had intended to prepare
resolutions, but had forgotten it un-
til too late. DR.. Davis had been on
the board the whole time of
the speakers last service, and
had made a good member
and had shown more than the average
intelligence, and the speaker did not
believe that the people realized the
value of the services which the doctor
had given. Mr.. Jones had not been
on the board as long. but had acted
from good motives and had done his
work we'll. When members only re-
compense was abuse from the public,
the board at least ought to show its
appreciation of good members.
Mr.. Fletcher moved that a COM
mittee be appointed to prepare reso-
lutions and that the secretary be in
structed to spread them upon the

THE HOG DIED.
How the TurpentiDe Cure Acted in
One Case.

Geo. w, Monks is a believer in tur-
pentine as a remedy for hog cholera,
and administers spoonful in a pail
of swill as a dose-at least, he would
do so if the cholera were to get among
his hogs. He told John Duffey, of
West MankatO, of this cure and re-
commended that Mr.. Dutfey tryiit if
any of his hogs should be taken sick.
A good story is being told at Mr..
Duffey's expense, which we repeat as
given to US.
When Mr. Duffey returned home and
fed his hogs he noticed that one Of
them would not eat, and he conclud-
ed that it must be sick and that this
would be a good time to try the
remedy. He followed Mr.. Monks d.
rections, but the hog would not touch
the swill. This confirmed Mr.. Duffey's
belief that the hog must be coming
down with cholera, and he procured
assistance and held the hog up while
he poured several spoonsfull Of the
turpentine down it's throat. Remem-
boring that the terpentine, like some
other strong drinks, should be mixed
with water, ne then poured some
water down the hogs throat. He
was then satisfied that the hog was
immune from cholera, as the neces-
sary turpentine was inside OF it.
The hog took few steps, laid
down, gave few sQueals, and
turned over and died. Mr.. Duffey told
Mr.. Monks how the cure had worked,
and how he had treated the hog. Mr..
Monks laughed and said that the
treatment would kill anything. Fure
turpentine would play havoc with the
inside Of any hog, even the road hog.
The next time that Mr.. .Duffey tries
the remedy he will mix the terpen-
tine with water before he gives il to
a hog, instead of waiting until after
wards.
Mr.. Duffey's friends have, since
learning of his experience, given him
the title of "Dr. ".Duffey, and are hav-
ing much merriment at his expense,
which he accepts with his usual good
nature.

records. This was carried, and Presi-
dent Williams appointed Messrs.
Fletcher, Cray and Parry as the COM
mittee.
DR.. Davis arose and stated with
much feeling that he had not looked
for any such expression, and did not
know that he was deserving of it. He
would part with the other members
of the board reluctantly. His asso-
citation with them had been pleasant
and profitable. He had given his best
services in the interest Of the district,
without expectation Of reward, be-
cause Of his deep interest in educa-
tion, and because of the Importance
to coming generations that the COM
munlty and the republic maintained
an excellent school system. While he
was reluctant to part with the other
members, he had felt that it was his
duty to step out and give place to
others. If he was not officially con-
nected with the board, the members
should not feel that his interest in it
Jagged, as it would be maintained in
the welfare of the schools. He thanked
the board for the sentiment expressed.
Mr.. Jones also arose and feelingly
stated that the remarks made had
been unexpected. All are pleased at
kind words. He felt that it had been
a pleasure to meet with the board.
He had come upon the board unex-
pectedly, by appointment. but as he
had always felt great deal of inter
est in school matters after leaving
school, the appointment had been a
welcome one. His fellowship in the
board had been pleasant.
Superintendent Varney reported
that the enrolment in the different
schools was as follows:
