The Women of GnIana.

The wife of the cOoly in Guiana is a wpman who is very much to be enyied Every gold or silver piece her husband secelves for his services is beaten into personal trinkets to be worn by his bet. ter half. In this condition it constitutes the cash wealth of the family. It is per. tectly safe, as it is as much as any mans life is worth to touch the trinkets so long as the woman wears them. These same women are also noted for their beauty. Their features are straight and perfect, their eyes beautiful in color and theil forms perfect models of symmetry and grace. Dressed in soft, filmy materials rich in color and eastern figures, they present strangely oriental and fantastic appearances.

 Up to times within the memory of living men almost no one of means traveled through Europe without Courier Before railroads were built and before good guidebooks were print sd he was almost indispensable. His tribe survives, but in greatly dimin- Ighed numbers. To the self reliant trav- sler he is of no use whatever Indeed he is frequently positive ineumbrance, and worse. To my mind one of the great pleasures of travel is in learning to travel by myself. There are satisfao- tion, pleasure and education in plan ning routes, deciphering time tables. making bargains, learning by observa- Sion the lay of the land.
 The time may have been when 8 courier could save traveller more than his cost Most certainly that is not the jase now. On the contrary, as he gets percentage on every purchase his party makes, which, of course, comes out of the purchaser in increased price, and As 1t is often for his interest to advise the more costly route the more costly
  eats up much more than his wages, while saving positively nothing. Bean declares that in two weeks trip In southern Spain, which he made side by side with a couple having courier, he invariably reached the hotel first, got better rooms and saw all the sights to as good advantage, yet the courier was. of his kind, an expert. The fact is that cavel has become so general, tourist companies, railroads and landlords have so we'll studied it's needs, books are so plentiful. that you coul uldp's very well get off the track or have a mjshaS R you tried.

PASSENGER COACH DAMAGED.
c. & N. w. Engine Backs Into the
forming Gilmore Train.

Engineer Sweets engine came into
collision with the rear coach of the
Gilmore accommodation train Wednes-
day morning, and as result the coach
had to be taken off for repairs and
another substituted for it. The half
dozen passengers in it were given a
severe jolting, but no one suffered any
injuries, The Gilmore train was stand
ing in it's usual position, ready to pull
as soon as the Northwestern should
arrive from the junction and the
transfer of passengers be made. The
Northwestern come down the grade a
little faster than usual, and either
Mr.. Sweet could not see the other
train on account of the snow storm,
or his engine could not be stopped in
time. The engine backs down from
the junction with the passenger cars
in front of it, and the tender struck
the Gilmore coach. The tender was
not injured, but the end of the coach
suffered considerably, the steps being
carried away and the iron work bent
and twisted.

zens furnished the building, and the
buttermaker furnished the machinery
and leases power cheaply from the

only two cents a pound for making

There is much complaint of horses
being turned loose to go to the water
ing troughs to drink, 1t is dangerous
for children who cross the streets near
by, one little girl having recently been
knocked down by frisky horse that
was.going by on the gallop while her
nurse drew back in fright, 1t is also
dangerous where ladies drive their
horses to the troughs, to have loose
horses around. The practice, which
is violation of the ordinance. should
be stopped, If the city is willing to
furnish free water, the owners OF the
horses should be willing to lead them
to the troughs.

for the construction of his proposed

HOT OFFICIAL STUFF.
The Deputy Sheriff Of Watonwan Is q
Little Up in the Air.

MADELIA, Mimi, Feb. 18th, 1898.
Editor MankatO Free Press; Dear
Sir-I received and read your daily
of Yesterday, in which appears an
article purporting to have originated
with Sheriff Bowen. 1t stated that
he was telephoned to by an officer
that a theft had been committed
here, giving the description OF one
Van Ness and instructed to arrest
him. What l did say, to him was
that coat had been stolen from the
Methodist church. Another one was
taken but was dropped by the thief
who was followed and found to be one
Marble. Marble and Van Ness were
together the day the theft occurred
and it was believed they were the
guilty parties who took the other
coat and that they had gone to your
city. I did not ask Mr.. Bowen TO ar
rest either of the men, but if he found
Van Ness to let me know. About the
same time l heard that Marble was
at A. N. Gilman's, near here, and l
went to the house. l found there
the missing coat, but Marble had got
out of sight. 1t is entirely mis-
statement by Sheriff Bowen when he
says l had, in any way, requested or
authorized him to arrest any one. He
says he will refuse to do any more
business for me. I would say that
there are plenty of other officers In
your city who are competent and will
ing to do do my business and it will
be "a hot day" when ask him again.
He is also liable to want some favors
done here for him.
If you will make this correction, In
your columns you will oblige
Yours respectfully.

to the Jail.
Secretary III. H. Hart, of the state
board of corrections and charities,
paid the Blue Earth county jail an
unexpected visit last evening. In
company with two county commits
sio1ers from Mcleod county and one
from Stearns county, he arrived on
the 7:40 p. m. train. The counties rep
resented desire to build new jails, and
the commissioners are being shown
few of the best in the state by Mr..
Hart, among these being the one in
this city.
Secretary Hart expressed himself,
after leaving the Jail, as being greatly
pleased withiwhat he had seen. He
said that he never saw Jail that was
kept in as good order as this one, and
that it is the cleanest that he ever
saw.
Mr.. Hart and the three commission
ers took the 10:48 train for Worthing-
ton to inspect the Jail there, and they
passed through the city this afternoon
on their way home.

In speaking of the progress of cleo.
trical power, the Sioux City Journal
says: 1T is ten years since the first
trolley road, in it's commercial form,
was opened at Richmond, Va, Feb.
ruary 3, 1888. and it has made great
progress. It has been applied to 1,0OC
street railways with Ia, 900 miles OF
track. or the $4,000 horse cars then
but 1000 are left. Their place has
been taken by 10000 trolley cars. The
trolley has enlarged the area of cities.
AS rapid creator of wealth by en-.
HANGING values it is without an equal.
While it has revolutionized condi-
tions OF life in the cities, the trolley
has gone into the country. 1t spans
distances of 100 miles. There are 165
miles of rural lines in Michigan, but
few connecting links are lacking be-
tween New York and Philadelphia, and
a line will soon be continuous between
Portland, Me-, and Providence, r. l.,
s222 miles. The fruit region of western
New York sends it's produce to market
over a farm trolley road. In the
opinion Of an authority, the light
ness of the trolley system promises to
make it in the long run rather an ally
than q foe of the main existing trunk
lines of railway, serving as feeders,
and reaching sections that have
hitherto had to depend on dirt roads
and farm wagon"

INCINERATED.
Frank Roots Dog Burned Up by
the JanitOr.
War is Threatened in the Security Block
Over an Occurrence Last
Evening.

The Security block is torn up from gal
ret to cellar and'from front to rear over
an occurrence of Tuesday evening
Frank Roots little black spaniel dog
disappeared suddenly and was later
found burning alive in the furnace
The dog had been fed by Miss ADA
Henry after supper. Miss Henry
went into the hall in few moments
to pet the dog, and it.was gone. The
dogs bark was heard from the base
ment. and Mrs. 81. L. Henry went
down and ,found the janitor, John
Bowker, standing in front of the FUR
mace. She accused him of having
thrown the dog into the 1ur'
mace, and this he admitted,
but claimed that he had first stun
ned it. The dog could be distinctly
heard barking in agony in the furnace
flames.
When the news spread, there was
great indignation, and Mr.. and Mrs
Root were among those who felt most
badly, as the little dog was pet, MI.
Root today consulted County At
torney Hughes in regard to the mat
ter. and announced that he would
sign papers for the prosecution OF the
janitor. Mr.. Hughes states that
there is no law for the punishment OF
cruelty to dogs and cats, strange as II
may seem. The only way is to prose
cute for alleged destruction of per
sonal property. No papers are out
vet. 1t is claimed that the janitol
has frequently burned up cats.
Mr.. Bowker was seen by a Free
Press reporter and gave this &C.
count of the affair: ga month ago,
Mrs. Root Esent word to me by hel
hired girl that might dispose OF the
dog as it was not wanted. She also
gave it away twice, but it came back
I thought that I would carry out the
wish last evening, and hit the dog
three times over the head with
broom stick and thought that l hao
killed it. 1 threw it into the furnace
but in a minute or two it came to-
having been only stunned, and began
to whine and bark. 1t is true that
have burned up cats. I have done
it when they have gotten in
the way, but always killed
them first. I am not the kind OF
mau who would burn cat or dog
alive"
Mr.. Bowker is pleasant spoken
man and does not look as though
cruelty lurked in his heart.
There is said to be move on
foot among the occupants of the block
to petition Assignee J. B. Richards to
remove the janitor.
Percy Thomas states that he and j.
A. Ewing both wanted the dog II
Mr.. Root intended to give it away.
