The local Republican papers suggest
in general terms comparison of the
men selected as candidates by the Re
publicans and Democrats respectively,
but they do not attempt any actual
comparison. They invite the public to
put the two tickets side by side and
vote for the best men. If the advice
is followed, the result Is likely to be
disastrous to the Republican nominees.
1t Is not difficult to foresee the out
come If the business men and tax
payers of this town will sit down and
compare, for instance, Victor Gilman,
business man, and Register Of Deeds
Krahmer politician, or John Cavanagh
and Ed Bazille. The advice that is
given by the Republican papers is not
likely to be carried out by themselves.
1t is to be hoped that it will be &C
cepted by the voters. The Democrats
will be very We'll satisfied with the re-
suit.

The destructive forest fires that are
still raging in Northern Wisconsin rel
call with a thrill Of horror the fearful
fires in this state four years ago. The
lesson that was taught at the expense
of many human lives in this state does
not seem to have reached the people
over the Wisconsin line. else the pres
ent fires could hardly have gotten their
start. Carelessness on the part Of
somebody is the cause Of the great de-
struction of property, and possibly of
life, in Wisconsin. Unfortunately the
prosecution of the persons responsible,
even If they can be found, will not
compensate for the destruction, but the
Wisconsin authorities should take to
heart the lesson that the fires teach,
and provide safeguards for the future.

The Coming Lecture Course.

Inc analyses of the six lectures to
De given by Prof Zueblin under the
auspices OF the Public School union are
a suIlclent guarantee that the instruc-
tlon Is to be emphatically practical as
we'll as interesting. While the general
theme of the lecture which occurs
Thursday, as Well as of all the others,
will be British Municipal Life" the
existing conditions being drawn with
thelr true historic perspective, yet the
failures and successes in England will
be measured with American achieve
ments.
Prof. Zueblin will begin by showing
now medieval cities were built with
reference to protection or natural adj
vantage only; then how the modern in
dustrial city grew as a result of a world
market, and in It's wake came trans
portation, increased traffic and dense
population. The information gained
from this study will be applied in the
following questions:
What are the natural advantages OF
your city2 How have they been i'm
proved? What benefit does the city
derive from it's franchises? What can
the city do to improve it's material
conditioner Are your streets we'll paw
ed, clean and safe at night2
Such questions as these mean that
the course will be Of interest not only
to teachers, but to every good citizen.
With a frankness as charming as it

erty owner will have a cause Of griev-
ance against them.
But, to parody an old maxim, 1T is
better to do wrong than do nothing, so
they have gone ahead and dealt In
Justice to all without discrimination.
But with one class of property they
do mean to deal with rigid inpartiality.
They admit they have not intelligence
to assess iron mines, so they purpose
to let the mine owners fix the vaIua-
tions of their own property for pur-
poses Of taxation. The public is as
sured that the mine owners will deal
honestly in the matter. They certainly
have q delicate task, for, while they
will not wish to pay too much taxation,
they may want to place q respectable
valuation on their property for stock
purposes, If for no other

OMAHA IMPROVEMENTS.
Curves Being Strengthened Out Between
Mankat0 and st. Paul.

The Omaha road is doing a lot of
work on it's line between Henderson
and Blakely. The track is being
Strengthened, getting rid of some of
the disagreeable curves that have
heretofore existed. The old 72.lb
and 80 Id rails are being replaced
with new S0.lb rails. A large amount
of riprapping is being done to protect
the embankment that faces the river,
similar to that in this city, and for
this purpose 1000 carloads Of riprap
are being transferred from Kasota.
The improvements contemplated
for next year includes the straighten-
ing out of curves and laying new
rails between Belle PLANE and Ka-
sofa. When this has been done, it
is thought that saving of time of
half an hour can be made in the pas
senger service. The expenditures
will amount to 100000 to $500, 900.
The road is enjoying a splendid
freight business and will have some
money for improvements.

that there would be an evening ses-

of getting acquainted than anything
else. Mr.. Riley. when seen by Free
Press reporter, was outspo en- in his
advocacy of Gilbert Gutterson for
speaker, and said that he considered
Mr.. Gutterson's chances as good. Mr..
Riley took the evening train for
Window.
The other members of the legisla-
ture who were present at the confer
ence left for their homes on the
afternoon trains. In private con-
versation, some of them informed the
Free Press reporter that they were
out-and.out for Mr.. Gutterson and
would stand by him to the last. They,
also, thought that the outlook for
success was very favorable.

MORE MONEY.
Needed to Conduct the Normal
School.
Legislature Will be Asked to Increase
the Annual Appropriation and
Provide for Improvements.

The state Normal school at this
city will ,have request or two to
make of the legislature which assem-
bles next month. Most important,
will be request in the increase in
the amount of the annual appro-
priation of the maintenance Of the
school. The plan of having a con-
tinuous session has been so successful
that the enrolment of the school for
a year has been 1900, land there are at
present in the normal department
100 more students than there were
last year at this time. This makes
a larger teaching force necessary, and
the appropriation made by the last
legislature is no longer adequate.
An appropriation will also be asked
for to place gallery in the assembly
room. This was provided for in the
original plans for the new noruh
wing, but owing to the lack of funds
was not constructed when the wing
was built. In order to accommodate
the people who desire to attend the
commencement exercises and various
entertainments at the school, the gal
lery is badly needed.
An appropriation is needed to place
additional booksIin the school library,
purchase new specimens for the mu-
scum, and procure more apparatus for
the science department. These re-
ouests are all reasonable and neces-
sary, and there should be no question
of their being granted.
There has been some talk Of asking
for an appropriation for steam heat
inc plant. This and additional room
will soon be needed, but whether
they will be asked for this winter has
not been definitely decided. If the
school is to grow at the rate which it
has been growing, it will very soon
he oyercrowded. A detached build
inc TO accommodate some of the de-
partments, or to be used as library,
museum and gymnasium, ought to
be constructed.

At an early hour Friday, while
a crowd of men were in Otto Mann's
saloon, opposite the city hall, the till

Friday afternoon, Geo. Bienapf was
arrested on the charge of grand
larceny in the second degree, on Mr..
Mann's complaint. He denies the
charge, and his hearing was set for
ten a. m. Saturday. His bail was
placed at $500.
Bienap1 has heretofore borne a
good reputation, and his friends are

him.
