Mrs. S. 81. Miller, of his city, has
received letter from her son Walter
who is at Chickamauga with the 14th
regiment, giving an account OF thelr
camp life. The weather is very
warm there, he says, ranging about
100 degrees. There is some sickness
among the boys, but nothing serious,
and is not more then one would ex-
pect in the change Of climate, water,
etc. Some of the regiments, he says,
are leaving for Tampa. and his regl-
ment has heard that it may leave
this week, but nothing was known
for certain. He states that at the
time of writing he was we'll and had
not been sick a day. The boys had
all been vaccinated day or so before
he wrote.

John G. Thro has sold his handsome
residence property, at the corner of
Broad and Washington streets, to A.
A. Brooks, who will take possession
Aug. 1st. The consideration is un-
derstood to be about $1,000, and the
place is cheap at the price, Mr..
Thro will move his family into the
rooms over his drug store.
1t should be borne in mind that the
annual school meeting will be held

We understand that the Republi
cans of Chippewa county will present
the name of Lyndon A. Smith, o.
Montevideo, that county, as a canal
date for acknowledgement. Mr.
Smith is a lawyer by profession, is
scholarly gentleman, a student OF
public questions, thoroughly well in
formed in all lines. He is said to be
skillful parliamentarian, clear and
forcible speaker, and in every way
qualified for the position for which ne
is named, and would add strength to
the ticket. AS the Second district
has no candidate for place on the
state ticket, the Free Press sees no
reason why it should not give MT
Smith it's solid support, and so make
it possible for him to land the prize,
more especially as there seems as yet
10, be no other candidate for the
place. There is no doubt that the
Second district can have the lieuten-
ant-governorship if it wants it, and in
Mr.. Smith it would present a most
admirable candidate.

ITS ALL RIGHT.
New Hospital is Now an As.
sured Thing.
The Willard Homestead Pur.
chased and a Fine Building
to Be Erected.

The new hospital is now past the
possibility state and is fully assured.
The entire bonus of $4,000 has been
subscribed, except $500. which has
been guaranteed by Father Suffer, and
Father Joch, on behalf of the order OF
Sisters of the Sorrowful Mother
which he represents, has engaged to
proceed with the carrying out OF the
proposition which he made last
winter.
The first step has been taken in the
purchase of a location for the hospl-
tai. The J. A. Willard homestead,
on North Sixth street, has been pur-
chased by the Sisters for $4,000. Inc
Willard estate donates $500 toward
the project and accepts $500 cash.
Possession is to be given at once. The
Sisters have also purchased, through
p. Christensen, the remaining por-
tion of the block, of Evan A. Evans,
for $1,4OO. This gives the entire
block for hospital purposes, and every
thing except the house and barn is to
be removed. 1t is a magnificent 10
cation for the hospital.
The Willard residence is to be USED
as a detached building, only connect
ed with the hospital by a passageway.
It will be used as a residence by the
Sisters and for kitchen, dining room,
etc.
The new hospital will be put
up as soon as possible, and will
cost $4,000 to $4,000. 1t will
stand in the center OF the
block and will face Fifth street. 1t
will be three stories high, with base
ment and attic, and will be con-
structed of brick, heated by steam,
and lighted by gas and electricity. 1t
will contain large operating room on
the third floor, and will have an ele-
vator. 1t will be modern in all re-
spects, and will have at least forty
beds.
Father Joch will 90 east in two
DAYS and return ten days later with
the foundation plans, and work will
then begin. He come again in Sep
TENDER with the plans for the super
structure, and it is hoped to have the
building completed by winter.
The subscription committee met
last night and decided to continue Its
work until the small balance is raised
which will be easily accomplished.
Father Joch will name the build
ing committee tonight, and this com
mittee will supervise the work.
Mankato will thus soon have mod
ern hospital.

"DECAYED MANHOOD" INDEED.

The accumulated wealth of this country absolutely controls the af- fairs of this government under this administration, and the men who are in high positions under it are suffer ing with decayed manhood.
 The above, written by the Washing ton correspondent of the Houston Post, is a fair sample of the ''tommyrot' that persons connected with popo- cratic newspapers are indulging in. That it is absolute drivel is shown by the work of the congress in the last fortnight. What figure, pray, did "de- cayed manhood cut in the action by both houses which placed in the presi- dents hands $50 1000 900 to be used in preparations for war? Is there trace of "decayed manhood in the monster movement now under way to place the army and the navy on war footing What part was taken by "decayed manhood' in the action Of the presi dent in the matter of Dupuy De Lomt and General Lee? Could it have beer

JAPAN READY FOR WAR.

Permanent Russian Occupation of
Port Arthur to Be Opposed.
A dispatch from Shanghai dated Tues
day says: 1t is reported that a Japanese
fleet of twenty warships is waiting near
Goto Island, outside of Nagasaki, fully
equipped for war and only waiting i'm
structions. This includes the Yashima
and the Full, two of the finest vessels in
the Japanese navy, and the Chen Yuen,
that was captured from China. The Jap
anese feet, it is understood, is acting in
close touch with the British squadron I'M
der Vice Admiral Sir Alexander Butler,
commander in chief on the China station.
Japan will certainly oppose apermancnt
Russian occupation of Port Arthur. The
sudden dissolution Of tho Japanese diet
was owing to the wal spirit.
1t is expected that the japanese fleet
will attempt to prevent the landing of re-
Inducements from Odessa for the protec-
ton OF the Russian trans Asiatic railway
in Manchuria.
