BACK FROM WARS.
Two Soldiers Stop Over in Man
katO.
Say the FilipinOs are not Capable OF
Self. Government and Uncle Sam
Should Hold Them.

Sergt G. Higley and Corporal Geo.
Geyer, of the First United States cav
airy, were in the city Monday on their
way to Fort Meade, S. D., to join
their regiment. They were detached
from the regiment and sent to the
Philippines with detachments from
other regiments and are now return
ing. They came home on the trans
port, Sherman, the latter part OF May
and were given a leave of absence,
which is about to expire.
Sergt Higley is serving his fourth
year and Corp. Geyer has served two
and half years They enlisted from
Chicago They served seven months
in Cuba, where they experienced
greater hardships than any other time
They were in the battle of Santiago,
stationed next to the Rough Riders,
and Mr.. Higley was wounded in the
head.
Both men were in the Philippines
from October, 1898, to May LIST last. In
regard to the condition of affairs there
they say that the Filipinos have been
completely whipped, and the trouble
now is caused by about 1000 natives,
who are scattered about and concen-
trated where they can attack weak
outpost. They are mostly led by for
eigners English and German, and If
it were not for these the insurgents
would give up. Werever the natives
have come in and given up their arms
and gone to farming they have never
taken up arms again. The most OF the
natives want the Americans to take
control of the government. The two
cavalrymen expressed the opinion
that the natives are not>capable of self
government and never will be. and
that the United States should not with
draw. There are so many tribes, each
thinking itself the best, that they
would fall to fighting among them
selves. The Philippines are rich
country and well worth possessing.
Messrs. Higley and Geyer said that
the Philippines is no place for a poor
man to make mouey, although one of
their comrades, a discharged private,
opened little shop outside of Manila
and in short time was at the head
of a big store and hotel. For men
with means there are openings in every
direction, in trade commerce, min
ing, the forests, railroading, etc.

A CLOSE CALL.
Fire in the Mill at the Cement Works
Thursday Evening.

The cement works had rather close
call from fire Thursday evening. Eng l.
neer Randolph was ready to go home
to supper at 6 :15 clock and the men
had already gone when he discovered
that the mill was ON fire. He sound
ed the whistle and number of en-
ployes who live in the vicinity came
to his assistance. The cement works
has good fire protection of its own,
and the pump was set at work and
streams were turned on from two
lengths of hose. After an hours work
the fire was subdued.
1t is not known to a certainty how
the fire started. but it is thought to
have originated from a red hot rock
from the kiln getting into the mill,
which is a frame structure The
cracker box was burned out, but this
will not stop the work of the mill, as
there is another box. The loss will
probably not much exceed 800, and
it is covered by insurance. Had the
fl ames gained more Roadway before
being discovered the entire mill might
have been burned.

THISTLES ORDERED CUT.

The North Mankato council met
Saturday night and passed a resolu-
tion to condemn strip of land in
Page avenue 80 by $50 feet, for street
purposes. The value of the land con-
demned is to be appraised by jury OF
twelve men, which is to meet for the
purpose Tuesday, Aug. 18th, at Justice
Tidland's office.
The council voted to direct the own
ers of private property that contains
Russian thistles to cut them, as pro-
vided by law. If any neglect to do SO,
it is intended to carry out the provi-
sions of the law. The thistles in the
streets have already been cut by the
town authorities. The appearance of
the village would be greatly improved
if the property owners would cut the
other kinds of weeds in front of their
property.
Several bills were allowed and the
council adjourned.

HOUSE ENTERED.
Entered by Burglars Late Friday
Night.
Two Pocket Books Stolen From the
Residence of Geo. p.
Schneider.

1t has been some time since the fes-
tive burglar has been abroad In Man
kato, but he got in his work Friday
night. Geo. F. Schneider is night en-
gineer at the big mill and goes on duty
at midnight Sometime after he went
to work last night, his residence, near
the corner of Broad and Spring streets,
was entered by burglar, who made
off with two pocket books One con-
tanned SO and was the property OF a
lady who was staying with Mrs.
Schrieber, and the other containe d
some small change
The two ladies were alone in the house
but were not disturbed. One thinks
that she heard noise during the
night.
The burglar gained entrance by
pulling out the nail that held the
screen to the side window of the sit
ting room The police were notlhed
this morning and looked over the pre-
misses but could find no clue to the

ANOTHER BRIDGE.
North Mankato and Belgrade Residents
Favor One.

The people in North Mankato are
strongly in favor of another bridge
across the river With another bridge
the village would be more desirable Tor
residence purposes for those whose
business is in this city. This would
raise the value of residence property
there and the benefit would be general.
A North Slider this morning SAID
that he wished that the Free Press
would keep on agitating the bridge
question. He said that the traffic over
the present bridge is greater than most
people realize, and the farmers lind 1t
announcement at times in crossing the
bridge, owing to the number OF teams
on it more than to the railroad cross
ing.
1t is believed that Belgrade and
North Mankato would be willing to do
something toward paying for new
bridge.

SYRIANS CANNOT AGREE.

Faddoul Kouri and Shadrady were
callers on the county attorney Friday
and each had tale of woe to unfold
Shadrady has leased the Nicollet House
for six months longer and has bought
out Kouri. The latter claims that the
sale did not include an ice box, shelly
ing, etc., and Shadrady claims that it
did. Kouri wanted Shadrady arrested
for keeping the articles by forcible
possession, and Shadrady wanted
Kouri arrested for coming to his place
and disturbing the peace. Each be-
came demonstrative, and the county at
torney told them to go out, for he
would not issue any warrants, as the
matter was one to be settled in the
civil courts.

an arrangement for 81, 600 with A. N.
Vanslyke, of this city. He then pro-
cured an abstract of the tract. In the
mean time he had been in the vicinity

others one j. Fl. Wood, who owns the
adjoining land and whom he gave as,

Hughes Friday about the actions of his
neighbor, Michael Schwartz, whom he
accuses of dancing a war dance in

1t appears that Arnold cows got into
Schwartz s wheat, which caused the
display of distemper. Arnold was
armed with a scythe during this

NOT A CANDIDATE.

B. c. Taylor states that he will not
be candidate for county attorney
this year. His practice is such that
he cannot afford to neglect it to seek
Office. He has received many assur-
ances of support, but his friends will
acknowledge that he has displayed the
part of wisdom in not entering con-
test where the uncertainties are SO
great and the reward of success not
extraordinarily attractive. The future
no doubt holds many good things in
store for Mr.. Taylor.

NAMES NOT COUNTED.

It has been discovered that number
of names in North Mankato were over
looked by the census enumeration.
However, as it does not make any par
ticular difference and the village has
not got a name up in the state to sus-
tain, the people are willing to let it
stand as it is. 1t is expected that the
census will show an increase of thirty
per cent in the population over five
years ago. The village has been forg-
ing ahead rapidly and is expected to
crowd the thousand mark.

In the county board proceedings as
published by most of the papers the
name of DR.. A. o. Bjelland appears in
the list of those whose personal pro-
perty taxes are delinquent. The name
should have been G. F. Blake. DR..
Bjelland's taxes are all paid.
1t was reported Friday that certain
parties started out that morning after
prairie chickens in Judson. The
game warden should be on the alert,
as there is likely to be more or less
violation of the game laws from now
on. The law provides severe penalty
for killing prairie chickens or water
fowl before Sept. list or quail before
Oct. list. Mankato sportsmen should
cooperate to the end that the law is en-
forced.
