The Hare Floor End.

It Is a comfort occasionally to hear
some one lecture upon houses and
hnuse furnishing who does not insist
Upon bare floors. Mrs. Henry White
man, the artist, talking on the subject
In Boston recently said that a bare
floor did not carry out entirely the
idea of comfort, and that carpets which
are simple and in good taste are to be
preferred. I'VE are getting too hor-
ribly picturesque" she said "and the
result is a sort Of chaos. Art" sho
went on, sis most inclusive thing. 1t
never leaves out anything essential to
life. We should not try to be picture-
sque; the living in a room makes it
that. If law and order are recognized,
things will gravitate to their proper
places and The balance be preserved"

The Man of Moderate Means.

There is one enjoyment that we
may all alike enjoy" said the man Of,
moderate means, "and that Is the
warmth Of returning spring. l can al-,
ways tell when spring has really come
by seeing somebody standing in front Of
a building, where he is sheltered from
the wind, enjoying the sunshine of the
first really gentle day after winter.
There is mellowness about it, al
broad, great geniality, that is unmis-
taxable, and that We accept with grate-
full hearts. 1t pervades us with press
ent comfort and gives us much promise
Of the future. The glow may last, on
the first day, but little time; 1t may
be chilly before and after. Happy is
he who Is abroad on this day, and who
happens upon sheltered spot at such
an hour as to receive 1.-THE suns first
spring greeting to the earth"

DEATHS REAPER.
President Soaring, of the Man
katO Normal Dies Suddenly
While in St Paul.
The News Is q Great Shock to the Peo-
pie of This City.

Nothing has occurred to this COM
munity in recent years that caused
such a great SHOCK to the people as
did the news Saturday Of the
death of President Edward Soaring of
the Mankato Normal. The first in
formation received in the city of the
sad and tudden death of Mr.. Soaring
was through message received by
Geo. III. Clark from President Lord,
of the st. Cloud Normal school about
nine o'clock.
Mr.. Soaring went to ST. Paul Thurs
day afternoon to attend meeting of
the Normal board. His train was
nearly two hours late in reaching the
city, and on arriving at the Windsor
Hotel he met President Lord and
others and after brief chat retired
for the night. The next morning he
ate very hearty breakfast and
Throughout the day attended to his
duties with his usual vigor and cheer

The hearing on the writ Of babeas
corpus sworn out by H. f. Crabbe
Friday, was on before Court
Commissioner Evan Hughes, Saturday
afternoon, and had not been finished
at the time of our going to press. 1t
was being fought hard on both sides.
w. L. Comstock was the attorney for
Mr.. Crabbe and Thos. Hughes ap-
peared for che state. Mr.. Comstock
held that bis client had not been
fairly treated. The state thought
otherwise.
M. G. Willard swore out a warrant
against Crabbe charging him
with petty larceny, in collecting a
subscription on the Pioneer Press Of
$3.50 for which he signed the name of
knapp to the receipt. The hear
ing will probably be had Monday.

GOES OVER.
The Hearing on Assignee Schwartz Re.
port to be Nov. 18th.

puIt ~ Uc NUf. kOtus
The final report Of Geo. Schwartz,
assignee for Cassidy Packing Co. has
been filed with the clerk of the court.
1t shows that his total receipts in
each as assignee were s3.157. His
total disbursements for expenses
in handling the estate were
90, 230.04, this includes 1925 as fees
for his services. The assignee receiv-
ed in his hands at the time of his ap-
pointment about 100000 worth of
property and the above expense &C
count covers the careing for it all.
There were numerous suits grow
ing out of it that had to be looked
after.
The hearing upon the report that
was set for 10 o'clock Frid az
did not take place, as Judge Sever
ance was out of the city and could
not be present. The attorneys
interested in the case, after consulta-
tion, agreed to have the hearing upon
the report set for Monday, Nov. 2Sth,
and this will doubtless be approved
by Judge Severance.

BIOGRAPHICAL.

Edward Soaring, A. M. was born in
Aurora, N. Y, July 14th, 1885. His
boyhood was passed mostly on farm,
and the elements of his education
were obtained in a country school.
At the age of sixteen he taught his
first term. Resolving soon after to
obtain college education, he entered
Cortland Academy, Homer, N. Y,
where he remained two years, meeting
his expenses by teaching winters. He
then went to Cozenonia Seminary,
where his classical studies were con-
tinued, interrupted only the first
winter by a term of teaching in Or
leans county. at the head of a graded
school. Soon after returning to the
seminary he accepted the offered posi-.
tiOn therein of assistant teacher of
Latin, held for year or so thereafter
and until his removal to Michigan,
where he was for year the principal
OF the public school in Bay City. In
1857 he removed to Wisconsin and
conducted private school at Union,
Rock county. In the fall of 1860 he
entered the senior class of the Uni
versity Of Michigan, and graduated
the following year. Returning
to Wisconsin, he was elected to the
professorship of Latin and Greek in
Milton College, which he held until
his election as State Superintendent
of Public Instruction, In the fall of
1873 Reelected in the fall of 1875,
he resided in Madison until the
spring of 1878. when he returned
to Milton. Two years later he was
elected president of the Mankato
State Normal school. In 1859
he published his well known edi-
tion of Virgil's Aeneid. For four
years he was the editor of the Wiscon-
SIN Journal of Education. During
his residence in Milton and Madison,
articles in the annual reports of the
Wisconsin State Agricultural and
horticultural Societies frequently at
tested his bucolic interests. In the
school he has personal charge of the
instruction in history of education
and school economy. In the spring
Of 1880, he came to Mankato and as
sumed charge of the state normal
school, which position he held to the
hour Of his death.

FRANK LATIN DEAD.
He Passes Away at His Home at Amboy
Friday.

A telephone message received from
Amboy just after dinnerFriday, stated
that Frank Latin died at 1920
p. m. Friday, and that the funeral
would be held Monday. Mr..
Latin was SO years Of age and had
been a resident of this county some
twenty or twenty-five years, and has
been engaged in the livery business
at Amboy for the past twelve years.
The last time he was in Mankato
was during the Republican
county convention in August, and he
complained Of not feeling very well at
the time. He was soon after taken
with Inflammation of the bowels.
Typhoid fever afterwards set in, and
this was followed by congestion Of
the lungs. He was endowed with a
strong constitution or would
have been unable to resist
the attack as long as he
did. He has been deputy sheriff for
nearly four years back, and was
most efficient official. Mr.. Latin was
well liked by all who knew him, was
a first class citizen, and his death will
be the cause of general regret by his
wide circle of acquaintances. He was
a member of the Masonic and Odd
Fellows organizations.
He leaves a wife and four children,
two boys and two girls. The oldest
child is about Is years old and the
youngest about one and half years.

fulness. He made no complaint of
not feeling well and gave no evidence
of any sort of indisposition. On the
contrary, as President Lord tele-
phoned the Free Press Saturday
in giving the particulars of his death,
Mr.. Soaring seemed to exhibit un-
usual cheerfulness throughout the
day.
He spent, however, a rather restless
night. Soon after midnight he rang
for the bell boy and asked that
steam be turned on his room, as he
felt chilly and suffered somewhat
from pain in the chest and stomach.
The room becoming warmer the pain
ceased and he dropped into a sleep
that lasted for couple or three
hours. At $50 that morning, feeling
quite unwell he again called the bell
boy and sent for President Lord to
come to his room.
Mr.. Lord promptly answered the
summons and then Mr.. Soaring told
of his feelings and said he thought he
would try and go home on the morn
ing train. He also asked Mr.. Lord
If it would be advisable to call doc
tor, and the latter responded in the
affirmative and the house physician
was accordingly summoned. The
doctor made thorough examination
of Mr.. Searing's lungs, and after being
told of the distress of the
stomach by the patient, thought
perhaps it might be indigestion
that was causing the difficulty. To
further sound the lungs Mr.. Soaring
was raised to sitting posture in the
bed and the doctor placed his ear to
the back Of the patient, when Mr..
Soaring complained of being dizzy. He
was laid down on his pillow and al.
most instantly became unconscious,
followed by very violent breathing.
The doctor did everything possible
to revive him, but to no purpose
Mr.. Soaring had passed to his reward.
Death occurred at 1880.
Under direction of President Lord
the remains were removed to one of
the leading undertaking rooms of ST.
Paul and properly prepared for ship
