A SUDDEN DEATH.
Fred Roberts Stricken With Apoplexy
While on the Street.

Frederick Roberts, an old and re-
spected resident of this county and city
died suddenly Saturday night. He was
about the city as usual on Saturday,
and was apparently in good health.
While on his way home at six o'clock
he was stricken with apoplexy and fell
upon the sidewalk on South Front
street close to Thos A. Sherk's resi-
dence. He was unconscious when
found by passers by, and W. E. Lee
picked him up and he was later taken
in carriage to his home on Marshall
street and DIR. W. A. Beach was sum.
moned He fingered until about ten
o'clock, when he died.
Mr.. Roberts was born in Wales in
1880, and when he came to America he
located at Oshkosh, Wis. In 1871 hi
moved to Judson. and resided there
and in Mankato ever since. He leaves
wife but no children. He had wild,
acquaintance, and all who knew hin
will regret his sudden taking off.
The funeral occurred from the
house at one o'clock Tuesday after
noon and from the church at 1:3
o'clock

this matter every citizen ought to be
willing to cooperate with the au-
thorities in stamping out the disease.
and show their willingness to do every
thing possible. A short period of such
precaution would put the city beyond
all possible danger of a severe outbreak.
1t would be we'll for everyone during
the next few weeks, it seems to us, to
closely watch all throat trouble and
consult doctor if it does, not yield at
once to the usual remedies for a cold,
and so aid in preventing spread of the
dread disease. The time to put a stop
to it is right now before it gets start.

Thos. Hughes, attorney fer Mrs.
Helena Weigeld in her action for di'
vorce from her husband, Ferdinand
Weigeld, has served notice of motion
for alimony on Fl. L. Schmitt, attorney
for the defendant. The amount asked
for is So per week for support, S75 for
attorneys fees, and $40 for expenses of
the suit. The motion will be resisted
on the ground that the defendant has
not sufficient property or income.

SHOULD USE CAUTION.

1t seems to the Free Press that unless
the health authorities use the greatest
of precaution in the matter, the city is
likely to suffer from a scourge of the
diphtheria during the next few weeks.
The Free Press does not believe in the
treating of such matter in a sensa-
tional way, neither does it belieye that
there is any particular danger of an
epidemic if due caution is observed.
But it is much better that possible
danger be faced at once and have the
disease stamped out as soon as possible
1t will not do to trifie with it in the
least. AS yet there have only been a
few sporadic cases and of mild type.
The danger lies in not getting it stamp.

The Review calls attention to the
complaint that was made during the
period when wool was on the free list,
about the number of sheep being rap
idly decreased by slaughter, as they
were more valuable for food than
wool, and remarks that the tariff on
wool has been restored, and still the
slaughter continues. No doubt of it,,
because mutton is as much or more in
demand now in these more prosperous
times, than when they were hard.
But the Review neglected to add that
during the slaughter under free wool,
the docks of the country continued to
decrease in numbers, while under a
protective tariff they have increased,
sGhough the slaughter has remained
large, as the sheep has proved far
more valuable under the better prices
for wool. A writer in late issue of
Hsrper's Weekly says that while the
docks of the country showed large
decrease during the period between
1890 and 1897, they increased over o.
100000 from 1897 to 1899, and the peo-
pie were in the meantime consuming
more mutton.

FIFTEEN DOLLARS FINE.
GetzeI Gets Off Easy For His Free Use OF
Fire Arms.

Alois Getzel. who was arrested on
the charge of assault in the first degree
upon Fred Macbeth, was before Judge
Shissler Monday. County Attorney
Hughes stated that the ends of justice
would be served by reducing the charge
to assault in the third degree, as Getzel
was under the influence of liquor at the
time and probably both parties were at
fault. Chas. j. Macbeth, who signed
the complaint, was willing that the
charge be reduced, his brother now be.

The court fined Getzel SIS and costs,

PRESS SAYINGS

The ST. Paul Dispatch says that while
the Republicans will control the state
senate next year, as they did last, it
will not be amiss for the party to look
well to it's candidates for the house, and
adds that Gov. Lind would like above
all things to go to the United States
senate. And after referring to the
satisfaction it would give Lind to de-
feat Senator Nelson, it says: ct will
not do for Republicans to be too COM
placent oyer the complexion of the next
legislature. They may as well prepare
to whip the fusionists there and all
along the line"
+
The Starbuck Times remarks that
Evan SAINT, Evans or Clapp, any of
them, would make the fusion candidate
and all his constituency take to the tall
timber in short order, if he were unani-
mously chosen by the next Republican
state convention"

The Dawson Sentinel comments
thusly: The people of the Second dis
trict want McCleary to remain in con-
gress where he can do the most good to
the greatest number of people. Now
and then we pick up an exchange that
is trying to work up gubernatorial
boom in his behalf. McCleary would
make good governor but better con-
gresham. Besides we do not think he
wants the governors office Let us
keep him where he is yet for a few
years.

In the last campaign, says the Winona

will have to trot along on the same
track with Bryan in full view of
