Supt. Spencer Thinks the Wat0nwan
Valley Road Sure Thing.

superintendent Spencer was in the
city Tuesday, and when asked by a
Free Press reporter as to whether he
thought the Watonwan Valley road
would be constructed the coming year,
replied that he felt sure that it would.
In regard to the Mankato & New Ulm
road, he had no information, as that
was matter that pertained to the
Chicago & Northwestern,
j. F. Cleveland, land commissioner of
the Chicago & Northwestern road, ar
rived in the city Monday afternoon
and it is rumored that he is taking
steps to acquire the right of way for
the proposed Mankato & New Ulm
railroad. 1t is understood that the de-
sired right of way has already been
staked out, and that the work can now
be pushed along rapidly. AS stated by
the Free Press last Saturday, the route
west of the river is the one adopted.

NEW RAILROAD DEAL.
Mast, L. Rosd Said TO Have Purchased
Rock Island Possessions in Min.
neSOta.

The morning papers announce that
the M & ST. L. Ry has purchased from
the Rock Island road, the Wisconsin,
Minnesota and Pacific, which was
owned by the latter, but has been
operated by the NJ & st. L. road. This
report is not verified We learn this
afternoon that the officials of the M. q
st l.. road in Minneapolis know moth
ing about the matter but assert
that if it is true, it means that all the
lines in the state owned by the Rock
Island people, but operated by the M.
& st. L. road, would be included in the
deal. If this is true, the reported sale
would include the Mankato and Red
Wing line This would be likely to
operate in favor of change in matters
connected with that line in this city,
for if the M. & st. L. road has obtained
possession of it, it will be likely to take
more interest in giving our people
better accommodations.

WORK HOUSE NEEDED.
Charter Trainers Might Consider this
Matter.

The need of workhouse for Migrants
and those who commit small INSIDE
meanors has been apparent to the
police officials for long time Many
cities have such a place, where the
prisoners are given employment, such
as saving and splitting wood The
county Jail with it's airy and comfort
able corridors, clean beds and good
board, has attractions for many who
want no better snap than to be sentenc-
ed there. The last legislature passed a
law empowering municipal judges to
sentence Jail prisoners to hard labor in
some cases. There is no good reason
why the charter should not also make
provisions for this. A workhouse could
easily be made self-sustaining, and it
would tend to lessen the number of
petty or mes committed for the purpose
of getting sentenced to Jail, where the
accommodations are better than most
of the prisoners have been used to
outside.

but to no avail, for consumption had
claimed her.

beloved by all who had the pleasure OF
her acquaintance, because of her sterl-
ing worth and noble character. Her
death was as beautiful and peaceful as
her life had been.

A BROWN ROAST.
Judge Shissler Administers one to the
Salvation Army Dis,urbers.

After jury had been drawn to try
David Oglesby on the charge of having
disturbed religious meeting, Monday
after noon, he concluded to plead guilty.
He was fined 1896 and fifteen days in
Jail, and will probably raise the amount
of his fine within day or two. Hunt
ley has paid his fine and been discharg-
ed Watson and Simmons have gone to
Jail for sixty days. They were fined s25
each, but the costs in one case were $32
and in the other $21.
In pronouncing sentences, Judge
Shissler administered severe rebuke
to such actions as these young fellows
had been Convicted of. He said that such
actions and vulgarity as they had used
were enough to make a Hindoo chief
bow his head in shame, and the stoutest
atheist in the land to stand in awe and
wonder" He said that when the
school system or the Christian religion
were effected by anyone's acts it
touched a tender spot in his heart
He spoke of the necessity of maintain
ing the freedom of religious worship.
