MOVING ON MANILA.
Commodore Dewey Still Able to dc
Business.

Special to the Daily Free Press
Madrid, May "A dispatch to the
London Mail this morning says: The
Americans are now moving on Manila,
but there has been no capitulation
yet. Gen. Augusta will probably de-
fend the Plaza of Manila. The
Spanish ministers admit that the ma.
val battle ended in the utter route of
the Spanish fleet, but are resolved not
to spare any efforts in the defense of
the country. The Spanish warships
Reina Maria Cristina and Castallia
totally burned. One vessel was pur-
posely sunk and the rest badly dam
aged. The American fleet is believed
to be much damaged.

TWO DECISIONS.
Chas. T. Taylor and J. W. Sprague Each
Take One.

lake Oues
Judge Shissler rendered two de.
cisionsMonday. In the case of Chas. T.
Taplor VS. L. Salet, the pawnbroker,
judgment is rendered for the plaintiff
for $66.75. Mr.. Taylor sued to re-
cover about S72 worth Of brass fix
lures which were stolen from him and
alleged to have been disposed of to
Salet.
In the case of Joseph Peters VS. j..
w. Sprague, judgment for the de-
PENDANT for 800 is rendered. 1t is a
well digging case, and Sprague had
advanced Peters S125 on the cost of
the we'll. but this is not refunded to
him. The judgment was for the
value of note given by the plaintiff
and purchased by the defendant of
Kruse Bros. The we'll was not sue
cess, and if Mr.. Sprague had not ad-
vanced the $125 the court would not
have obliged him to pay it, but nav-
ing advanced it, the court did not see
it's way clear to order it refunded.
Mr.. Peters had sued for the balance
which he claimed was due him on the
we'll.

SPANISH CRUELTIES.

Rev. F. J. Henderson, Of Pipestone,
occupied the pulpit of the Presbyter-
ian church Sunday morning and eve
ming. He is pleasing speaker and
his morning sermon was devoted to
the Spanish-American war. He re-
viewed the cruelties of Spain toward
all her colonies, leading up to their
revolving one after another. He re-
ferred to the terrible condition of
things in Cuba. which had so shocked
the sensibilities of the American PEG
pie. He held that if war is ever lusti
fed it is in such cause as this.

ENTHUSIASTIC FOR BEETS.
Justice knott Knows the Profits of Sugar
BeetS.

Beets.
Henry Knoff is a firm believer in
the profit OF raising sugar beets in
this section, with the splendid soil
which we have. He has raised an
acre of beets for years, and has had
no difficulty in raising twenty tons to
the acre. At four dollars a ton, the
minimum amount paid by the beet
sugar factories for beets. he would
have received $50 an acre for his pro.
duct had there been factory lin Man
kato. With the improved methods of
caring for the beets, he believes
the cost of taking care of an acre of
beets is $12 to SIS. Thir includes all
expenses and leaves good profit. Mr..
Knoff believes that with beet sugar
factory in Mankato, sugar beets
would become as staple crop in this
section as wheat, and good deal
more reliable, as it is a sure crop.
Sections in Germany that few years
ago were poverty stricken are now
wealthy through sugar beet culture.
Mr.. Knoff states that sugar beets
do not exhaust the soil, but by rails
ing beets every other year on the same
piece of land twice as good crop of
anything else can be raised there on
the off year.

SPLENDID SHOWING.
Only Six Patients Out of LIS Die at the
Hospital.

No hospital in the country has
record that Tourtellotte hospital has
in the large proportion of recoveries
to cases treated. The number of pa
tients in the hospital between May
1st, 1897, and April Both, 1893, was 1873.
OF these, seventy-four were surgical
cases and tifty-four were medical
cases. Only six deaths occurred, three
from consumption, two from Bright's
disease and one from fatal injuries re-
ceived in a railroad accident. Five OF
the deaths were due to chronic cases
too far gone for recovery when re-
ceived, and the other was fatal acct
dent case.
This record shows the splendid
treatment which patients receive
from physicians, surgeons and nurses,
and the favorable surroundings for re-
covery. With such a record known
abroad. Mankato would become great
center for the treatment of cases from
all the surrounding country.
