road, one on the Pohl road and
one on the Agency road.
G. G. Swanson appeared and entered
an emphatic protest against what he
termed an injustice on the part of the
city assessor. He said that the
assessor has three times as much per-
sonal property as he (Swanson) has,
yet assessed himself only half as
much, Mr.. Swanson said that both
were engaged in the same business,
and that the assessment tended to re.
duce fair competition. The matter
was talked over at some length, but
the board gave Mr.. Swanson to under
stand that it could do nothing for
him. much as it would like to.

look out for rare slate breaking time.
There is, we candidly believe, no more
popular man in the state than Mr..
Eustis. He has whole lot of talent
to spare over some who have been
mentioned, is honest, frank and up
right, and in the judgment of all who
know him would make model gov
ernor. The Free Press has always
held Mr.. Eustis in high esteem, and
he has host of friends in Blue Earth
county as in fact he has throughout
the Second district. The only thing
that can be brought against him is
his location, but that is not particu-
lar bar, other things being considered.
Mr.. Eustis is a man that other
aspirants will do we'll to watch.

In voting down the amendment to
the Teller resolution offered by Sena-
tor Nelson, which renewed the pledge
of the government to maintain gold
and silver at parity, the ,silverites
revealed their purposes to the world,
and knocked in the head all their pro.
fessions that they think as much OF
gold as they do of silver, and are only
anxious to bring silver back to it's
former place. Silver is their god, and
on every occasion in which the matter
comes up they show their bitter
hatred of gold. In private way how.
ever, they show their lack of conf
dence in silver by making all obliga-
tions to themselves payable in gold.
Senator Nelson rendered the nation a
good service when he thus neatly ex.
posed their real intentions and
placed them before the country
IN their true light, not as a
band of patriots, but as a band of re-
pudiators and tiatists who, to carry
out their own selfish ends, would ruin
the credit of the nation and sacrifice
its commercial and business interests.

the purpose of organizing a county
union resulted in the formation of Q

machine has been seen, and a meet
ing will be held at Mapleton in two
weeks, and one at Good Thunder .
little later. Attorney f. Fl. Stevens.
of Red Wing, secretary of the state
union, was present and explained the
object of the organization. which is
beneficial to the farmers as well az
the threshers. 1t is proposed to have
competition on the basis of good
work instead of low prices and the
farmer will benefit by getting cleaner
grain and less loss, and his product
will grade higher. Much enthusiasm
was shown by those present, and
twelve names were secured. Others
held off until their nelghbors had
been seen, but all were favorable to
the idea. and if is Thought that there
will be no difficulty in getting seventy
per cent of the threshers of the
county to 60 in.
County organizations have been
perfected in Wabasha and Goodhue
counties, and partly in Nicollet
county.
Mr.. Stevens returned to Red Wing
today.

Perhaps the proposition presented
by the Free Press some months ago
regarding the propriety of nominating
Senator Davis as his own success
sor by the next state convention will
more earnestly appeal to the public
mind as the time for action ap.
proaches. 1t is certainly the one
proper thing to do. There can then
be mo good grounds for fearing results
if the Republicans carry the legis
lature. Senator Davis has richly
earned all the consideration the PEG
pie of Minnesota can bestow upon
him.

TERROR OVER THE PLAGUE.
vienna Fears Spread of the
Dreaded Bubonie.

London, Oct. 24.-The outbreak OF bu-
homie plague at Vienna, due to the eNper
imcnts in Professor Nathnagel's bacteri-
olo9ical establishment in the cultivation
OF the plague bicillus, has spread terror
al the Austrian capital. Five cases in ad-
dtiun to that OF the late Herr Barische,
the assistant in the establishment, who
contracted the bubonic plague while cul-
tiNoting the bacillus, have now occurred.
DIR. Mueller, who attended Herr Bar
ische and who was considered an author
ity ON the plague, having been to Bombay
for the purpose of studying ii on the spot
and he survived all the dangers there
Extraordinary precautions have now been
taken to prevent an epidemic. The plague
patients lie in an isolated building at
t,nded by Dr. Pooch, Il volunteer physi-
clan, and by sisters of charity.
Every person who had come in contact
with Herr Brische, principally the hos
pital attendants, has been isolated. Some
o. them resisted and Others tried TO escape
but we're captured and all were locked w.
IL Is feared, however, that the precautions
we're taken to late Herr Barische was
ill for three days before he saw doctor
during viii, Il time he lived with his wife
and visited wine shops. The wife, wht
has now developed suspicious symptoms
visited friends, rode in public omnibusc'
and came in contact with dozens OF per
sons at her husbands funeral.
y painful feature of the Niennese sit
uation is the INSCRIPTIONS attitude OF tn
anti. semitic newspapers which are accus
ing the Jewish doctors of bringing tn
plague to Vienna. 1t is apparent tha
this appeal to the worst passions OF TIL
mob will lead to plague riots against tn

WHAT SHALL 1T BE CALLED.
Another Name Suggested for the
Library at Washington.

The name of the big library that was
originally organized for the use OF con-
,yress, and is now housed in the finest
building ever constructed purely for Ii
.brary purposes, every now and then be-
comes a subject of dispute. The library
growing up as reference library TOR
members OF congress naturally took the
Library of Congress" but there are many
reasons for believing that statesmen early
in the days of the republic looked upon
that collection of books as national IL
brary and favored a broader name than
she one now given it.
When jefferson sent his library OF Iooo
books to Washington after they had been
purchased by the government for S23,9oo
he forwarded a catalogue OF these books,
which he marked Catalogue Library OF
the United States" This name indicates
that Jefferson looked upon the library as
a national institution, and not merely as
a congressional library. 1t is not unlikely
that an effort will be made in the neal
future to change the name of the big col
2ection of books to Library of the United
states

RIII.B GROWING AT HOME.
The Proper Soil to Use and Ho" TO
Produce Bloom.

This is the season when the subject OF
bulbs seems uppernost, for OF course we
all want some. In general way one Is
safe in following these directions:
sandy, porous soil is best for bulbs Inc
top of the bulb should just show above
the soil. Let the bulb water freely ami
set away in the cellar for several weeks
while the roots form. When brought to
the light keep in a room where the tenn
perature is not above 20 degrees. When
the flower buds appear, be generous with
water, air and sunshine, Hyacinths,
narcissus and crocus do well grown IN
water. Place in vases of water so the
bulb lust touches the water. Set away
in dark until the roots form, keeping up
the water supply. Tulips make nice pot
plants for winter bloom. We are full ol
this subject also, as We are expecting
wealth of bloom from our fall and winter
| bloom.
