Tidal Wave.

Boston, JAN. pa severe storm, attend
ed by unusual phenomena, passed over
Western New England to-day causing
heavy rains in the southeastern portions,
turning into twelve inches of snow in
Maine and New Hampshire, and thunder
and lightning in the extreme east, and
practically a tidal wave on the coast from
Cape COD TO Portland.
Tonight a high wind is b.owlng and
the storm Is likely 70 increase before II
masses over the provinces.
The heavy snow caused some delay TO
street car and railroad transportation, but
the most destructive feature of the storm
seems to have been In the tremendous tide
which swept In from the sea at noon in
undating the greater part of the coast and
causing heavy loss to owners of property
along the wharf front
At Gloucester the storm was the most

the navy departments affirm that nothing
has been heard from Gen. Lee. and are
disposed to look on the absence of news
as a good sign.
On the other hand, the city was filled
with rumors, ranging in Importance from
the statement that the white squadron had
sailed from Key West. to that of Consul
General Lee having been assassinated at
Havana Inquiry, however, failed to re-
veal any basis for the sensational reports.
Jacksonville, Fla. Jan. 2S.-The COM
mander of the naval station at Key West
received a message from Gen. Lee this

MISSISSIPPI GOING MAD.
The Water Rising Rapidly From
Cairo to New Orleans.

Memphis, Tenn. Jan. 23.-The Missis-
sippi river from Cairo to New Orleans Is
rising rapidly and there is enough water
In sight to send 1t above the danger line
from Cairo to Vicksburg. The water rose
a foot here to-day and in four days 1t will
probably be above the danger line.
At Cairo, the danger line has been pass
ed with further flood coming down the
Ohio, Tennessee and Cumberland. The
situation is regarded as extremely grave,
and unless there is a genral freeze through
out the North Mssissippi and Ohio VAL
leys, a repetition of last years food is
looked for. although the damage will nod
be so great owing to the fact of its being
early in the year and the water will prob-
ably subside before the time for planting.

sheboygan, Wis, Jan. 2S.-The feet Of
vessels In winter quarters in this city ex-
perienced a severe shaking up to-day oc-
casioned by tidal wave, the third OF the
season. The wave was caused by the
northeast gale, and the water swept up
the river in such great volumes that the
barbor was turned into veritable whtrl-
pool. Ice from twelve to sixteen inches
thick was ground into chunks as small
as hens eggs, and vessels were blown
from their moorngs and driven In all di-
rections.

The Storm the Worst the City Has
Experienced in Years.

The storm the Worst the City Has
Experienced in Years.
Chicago, Jan. 23.--The snowstorm of last
night and this morning was the worst in
this city for years
The greatest damage as well as lneon-
venience was caused by the breaking down
of telegraph and telephone wires. In this
respect the damage was widespread and
in all parts of the city poles and wires
were brought to the ground.
The street car service, which last night
was badly delayed, and totally suspended
on some on the lines, was in better running
order to-day.
All the incoming trains on all the roads
were from one to four hours late.
The storm was attended by curious cleo
trical displays In several sections, and the
atmosphere seemed to be flied with cleo
tricity, which evidently came from the nu-
merous trolley wires. Between midnight
and o'clock in the morning the night was
peculiarly light.

votional exercises and there was general
fasting, but no great alarm.

WILL CONSIDER 1T.
Hon. John Lind Talks About the Use of
His Name for Governor.

Hon. John Lind is attending the
United States court, being engaged
as an attorney in the case now on
trial. As is well known, the Demo
Gratis, Populists and Silver Republi-
cans are going to make him their can
didate again this fall. and are basing
high hopes Of success upon his vote
getting power. Upon how good a
foundation their hopes are based will
depend upon the result of the Repub-
lican state convention and the elec-
tion.
Mr.. Lind was asked by a Free Press
reporter Tuesday what he had
to say, if anything, on the situation.
He was somewhat reticent, and pre-
ferred not to be quoted, but the
general tenor of his remarks was that
the proposed action gives him
pain and embarrassment. If the
forces that put him at their
head as their standard-bearer
two years ago should do so again this
year, he would give the subject earn
est consideration. AS good and pa
triotic citizen and out of respect for
former friendships he would feel
called upon to do this. What thought
Mr.. Lind has given to the subject has
not been from this point of view
wholly, and not with the view merely
Of his own success in the election,
although If he went ia it would be
with the desire to succeed
Mr.. Lind is earnest in his assertion
that he is not seeking the nomination
or the office Of governor, but at the
same time it is pretty safe assump-
tion that he will put aside his own
personal feelings and obey the wishes
of his friends and the allied forces
which they will place at his back.
His statements today have not given
any particular ground to warrant his
assumption, but it is the general be-
lief 6hat the matter will De uresenG ted
to him go strongly that he Will not re-
fuse the nomination, n

Miesville; Thomas Graham, Winstead.
The trial of the suit of Bernhard H
Franzen VS.. H. F. Happensted was then
commenced, a jury being empanelled.
Mr.. Chittenden is attorney for the
plaintiff. and Messrs. Lind and Young
are attorneys for the defendant. The
action is one brought to recover $4,000
by reason of the alleged failure of the
defendant to make good guarantee of
that amount.
The case of Paulson VS.. the Parsons
Band Cutter and Self Feeder Co.,
which is the other civil case for trial, is
a personal injury suit. The plaintiff
sues to recover $4,000 damages on &C.
count of the death of his son. The de-
ceased had purchased band cutter
and self feeder from the defendant and
attached it to his own threshing ma
chine. When he went to step on it,
the tlmbers broke and he was precipi-
tated into the cylinders, where he was
killed. The case comes from Jackson
county, and Mr.. Knox is the plaintiffs
attorney, and Lorin Cray appears for
the defendant. together with Wilson
BOrst.
The grand jury, when it retired, at
once took up the case of McKenney and
Carvey, who are charged with breaking
into the postofice at Jackson. A num-
Der of witnesses were examined and it
was expected that an indictment
would be returned this afternoon, and
the jury discharged. 1t is thought
likely that both Mckinney and Carvey
will plead guilty. One of them has
confessed. and the other has told Chief
Deputy Marshal Shehan that he might
plead guilty. - ->
The term Of court will not in any
event last longer than this week.

SAFE FROM FIRE.
Nor Can Burglars Get Your Valuables in
the Safety Deposit Vault.

In these days of fire and pilfering
one asks whether there is really a
safe place to put valuable papers and
money. To this question. we can
answer "Yes." The safety deposit
vault in the Mankato Savings bank
building is impervious to the effects
of heat, smoke and water, and is ab-
solutely proof against burglars. The
skill of the expert craftsman falls
helpless before the twosmighty doors
of this vault-one with combina-
tion lock and the other with time
lock-and the chrome steel walls,
tested under steam drills, backed by
three feet of solid masonry. There
is no safer place anywhere, and it
would test the ingenuity of man to
make one safer.
The patrons of this vault have
their choice in the size of box rented,
from 3x5x22 inch box to 10x10x22
inch box. ranging in rental from S. to
S1S year. No box can be opened
until the renter inserts his key and
the banker inserts his at the
same moment. The renter also has
the use of private Office with desk
room to transact; his business The
vault can be visited by patrons during
the office hours of the bank. Many
of the business men and others Of
Mankato and of towns for long dis
lance around are patrons of this
vault, but there are still number of
conveniently located boxes left, and
those who are wise and desire to know
that their valuable papers, money or
jewelry is in an absolutely safe place
will become patrons of this safety de-
posit vault. This will end worry and
the ever present chance of loss.

In every.way. A large audience was
present, filling 1.-THE main floor of the

the program were heartily applauded
because they deserved applause and
not because the entertainment was
the work Of local talent. The enter

highly icreditablesmanner. That the
performance over-reached anything of
the kind, ever undertaken before by

Forty young ladies marched in
body and occupied the first four rows
of seats. They were supplied with an
abundance Of vegetables, doughnuts
and chestnuts, which they showered
upon the stage from time to time, but
the MINISTRIES got back at them sue
cessfully, despite their attempt to
drown the words of the speakers with
hand clapping. These features of the

PLACED ON WAR FOOTING.

The peace footing of the Minnesota
militia provides for the maximum of

places the war footing at 100 to the
company. As it would take several
days to recruit the companies to their
full strength, Gov. Clough decided to
take time by the forelock and has is.
sued an order through Adjt. Gen.
Muhlberg, to be known as general or
der No. 4, instructiDg all officers of
infantry and artillery to recruit the
necessary number of men to fill up
their companies to "a war footing, SO
that If the necessity arises for calling
the militia out, there will be little or
no delay. The new men secured un-
der this order will only be required to
serve as emergency men, and should
there be no need for their services,
they will be mustered out as soon as
that fact is demonstrated. And it
will not take great many men to
bring the companies up to a war foot.
ing. 1t is thought tie period of re-
cruiting will be short, and Minnesota
will be all ready when the call comes
from Washington. 1t is now under
stood that no order will be issued at
washington for the militia until the
intervention resolutions are in the
hands of the president, this may be
in couple of days, and it may not be
for week.
