The Minneapolis Journal sends home
center shot when it says: The Republic
cans have enforced the Republican anti
trust law hard enough to make the trusts
change the form of the trust from COM
bination of corporations to a single cor
poration, and that's more than the Demo
Gratis ever did. The Republicans are now
trying to propose an amendment to the
constitution to give congress the power to
reach the new form of trust, and the
Democrats are hanging back and pleading
the invasion of state rights. That's the
record of the two parties so far as per-
Torrance goes" This covers fact which
the fusionists will have hard work climb
ing up far enough to look over.

BUT FEW SALES.
Property in Judson and Cambria Town.
sites Not in Great Demand.

The people who went out over the
Mankato q New Ulm road Tuesday to
the sale of lots at the new town of
Judson and Cambria are enthusiastic
over the new road. 1t is most pic
turesque route, and the track is being
we'll ballasted. The first stop was made
at Judson, where an attempt was made
to sell lots, but this was very slow The
depot will be a beauty when completely
1t has slate roof and is to be finished
in hard wood. With the platform it
will cost from So 800 to $4,000.
The country surrounding the new town
is among the very best in Blue Earth
county. Two elevators are to be built
soon, and stock yards put in. A young
man from Mankato expects to put in a
general store by Sept 1st. There is a
general feeling that Judson will be the
best town of the two new ones. The
following lots were sold there:
Lots three and ten, block two, to w.
A. Funk. for 1926 and s175 respectively.
Corner lot two, block two, to N. Y
Lyngurd, for 1905.
Lot five, block two, to F. w. Hunt.
for 800.
At Cambria the following lots were
sold:
Lots thirteen and fifteen, block three,
to John B. Meagher, for 1926 each.
Lot fourteen, block three, to W. A.
Funk, for 500.
Jno G. Noe, who had charge of the
sale, thought best not to try to sell any
more lots at auction, but will accom-
modate any one wishing lots if they will
call at his Office. The terms of yester-
days sale was one fourth down and the
balance in five years at seven per cent
interest,
Riprapping on the road will be COM
pleted today and the work of placing
the iron on the Blue Earth river bridge
began today.

Editor Free Press; have noticed my
name in your paper of late. Now while I
find no fault with you permit me to say I
am not anxious for Cheap John" motor
iety, but if your correspondent can get any
glory or pleasure out of his lucubrations
and employment about the Hoodlum club
as he called tin Gods name let him
have it. I shall take no ofense, for it has
been we'll said that ''no gentleman will in

cannot do it," And here let me call your
astute correspondents attention to the say

We, all of US, are known for just what
we are, no more, no less, and it is useless
for US to try and cheat society. Men
foolishly strive to get their names up by

that their silence will tell all they know,
as we'll or better. The old proverb says,
Speech is silver, but silence is golden
so let us be silent. for so are the gods"
1 had supposed it was legitimate for gen.
tlemen, at seasonable times, to meet and
discuss any matter. not excepting science,
history, politics or religion, if they-as of
course they would-did it in gentlemanly
way. And my idea is that at such times
they should speak their honest convictions
without fear, favor or mental reservation.
without intending to offend others and
take no offense at others for doing the
same" This method may be, non grata,

UP A STUMP.
Result of the Work on the Big Mill Well
is Disappointing.

Windmiller Bros. have reached the
bottom of the big mill we'll, 642 feet
down. and have failed to reopen the
second flow of water. A large quantity
of red sediment, having the appearance
and tenacity of lead used in painting,
has been brought up from the lower
part of the pipe. 1t is feared that this
has formed crust or glue around the
bottom of the we'll in the water bearing
sand, which shuts off the flow. 1t has
been suggested that dynamite might
open up the flow again.
A measurement of the flow today
shows it to be 80 gallons a minute,
against 70 gallons before work began
recently. and against $50 gallons when
the we'll was first opened, The mill
authorities do not think the we'll is
leaking now, and are at a loss to know
how to restore the flow.

EXCITING RUNAWAY.
Horses Dash Into John Klein & Co.'s

colts and buggy were standing in front
of F. G. Heinze's restaurant, the buggy
occupied by Had Carney and a
young lady. The horses became
frightened at passing bicycle rider
and were unmanageable. They circled
in the street and ran upon the side.
walk in front of John Klein & Co. g
store. One horse jumped against a
plate glass window, breaking the lower
part of it, and getting one fore leg in
side. In trying to withdraw his leg an
artery was cut. Both animals fell on
the sidewalk and the injured one bled
freely. Sparks few as they endeavor-
ed to gain their feet in the stone walk,
and a crowd soon surrounded them. 1t
was some time before they could be
gotten up. DR.. Dodds attended the in
jured horse and hopes to save it.
The runaway was caused by the pole
breaking at the first jump of the horses
when startled by tho bicycle rider
This allowed the carriage to run upon
the horses and it was impossible to hold
the animals under such circumstances.
Mr.. Carney and companion jumped
from the buggy as it struck the side
walk in front of Klein & Co. 3 and
fortunately neither one received the
slightest injury.
