Blue Earth, July T. 1900.
Editor Free Press: My attention has
been called to an account of mass
meeting of the citizens of Mankato
held at the board of trade rooms in
your city on the evening of July Sd, as
published in the Free Press of the 9Th
instant.
This meeting, which was called, as
I understand, to take steps looking to-
wards recount of your people by the
census department, was addressed by
several citizens. Among those from
whose remarks you quote, we see the
name of W. A. Funk He is reported
as follows:
"W. A. Funk thought that it would
do more good to address W. R. Mer-
riam. He understood that Mr.. Ham
lin had already expressed himself to
the effect that the census in Mankato
in 1895 was padded, and if this was
so it was useless to expect help from
him. If the returns show popula-
tion less than five years ago something
is wrong. There has been twice the
increase by immigration that there
has been from births over deaths. -
Whether this man Funk made that
statement Intentionally or otherwise, I
can only judge from other statements
he has made within the past two
months.
The only occasion have had to Tex
press my opinion was in the follow
ing letter:
Blue Earth, June 80, 1900
Hon. James Shoemaker,
President Board of Trade,
Mankato, Minnesota.
Dear Sir: / am in receipt of your
communication bearing date of June
goth and contents of same have been
carefully noted; In reply would say
that Mr. Alfred F. Chiquet, enumera-
commended to me for appointment to
Mankato who are Jealous guardians
of their city's interests. Their hearty
endorsement of Mr. Chiquet's applica-
ton led me to believe that his appoint
ment would be viewed with general
lllo was lOI
warded to Washington with my recon-
mendation. Until the receipt of your
communication [ have had no doubt
but that Mr.. Chiquet's enumeration of
the Fourth ward was thorough and
accurate. [ note that you base your
belief in the inefficiency of the recent
enumeration of the 4th ward partly on
the rumor circulated to the effect that
it falls below the census of 1895. You
will concede however, that it is gen
orally understood that the census of
1895 was far more inaccurate than is
the present one, the enumeration at
that time in many instances being be-
lieved to have been careless and in
other instances to have been padded.
However, | assure you that it is my
earnest desire and intention that every
city, town, village and township in
this congressional district shall be
thoroughly and accurately enumerated
and l would request that, if you be-
lieve there are good and sufficient rea-
sons for considering the enumeration
of the 4th ward of Mankato as incom-
plete, present same in a communica
tion to me and [ will forward it to
Washington and ask the opinion of the
director in the matter.
Very respectfully,
JAMES G.. HAMLIN,
Supervisor.

Very respectfully,
JAMES G.. HAMLIN,
C,,oo,.x-ico,.

1t certainly would be unfair and I'M
truthful for me, as supervisor to say
that the census of Mankato for 1895
was padded. I do not know that it
was I only know that in many in
stances throughout the state it was
loosely done.
AS l said in my letter to Mr.. Shoe
maker, and later in an interview with
Postmaster Hunt, | am willing and
anxious to give Mankato justice as to
her "official count and no man, if he
be fair, can construe any words of
mine to the contrary.
Neither yourself Mr.. Funk nor any
set of men in your city, need feel that
you have monopoly of the anxiety
for the good will, good name and
growth of Mankato. She is the
"Queen City of our populous and
prosperous district Every good citi-
zen should be deeply interested in her
growth and development, and not be-
grudge her the name of one individual
that properly belongs to her schedule
of population.
Very truly yours,
J. G HAMLIN.

ANOTHER MURDER TRIAL.
Death Of a Colored Man Results in An
other Celebrated Case at Uni0ntown.

UNIoNTowN, Pa, March 2l.--Be-
fore Judge r. Il. Umbel to-day Sam
uel Moore was placed on trial for the
murder of John Carter. The fatal
wound was inflicted on August 2s,
1899, the day on which Company q
was welcomed home from the Philip
pines. One OF Moore's brothers got
into fight with an unknown color
ed man and was joined by a compan-
ion In the assault. Moore and his
companion had the colored man down
and were beating him brutally, when
Carter, who was also colored man,
interfered and tried TO stop the tight.
The commonwealth claims that when
the defendant saw Carter taking D
hand, he picked up brick and rushed
across the street and struck Carter the
fatal blow, saying as he did SO that
he would kill the ''nigger." Carter
lived about two months, but the com
monwealth alleges that his death was
directly due to the blow delivered by
Moore.

GETTING RESTLESS.
Preston County Republicans are Be-

According to the following ex-
tracts from the Preston county Jour
nal the republicans over there are
getting somewhat FESTIVE under the
pressure that is being brought to
bear on them by the people in this
county who want them to vote for
Freer. Local leaders when asked
about the affair state that Preston
will be all right and that i will vote
solidly tor Freer when the conven
ton meets The extracts are as
follows:

exert ourselves in some other diree-
ton than what the Modern Athens
Bosses think we should, they howl
themselves haarse against us and
want to make their people believe
that Preston is not loyal to them.
Preston county was apart OF Mon
ongalia until 1918 when there was a
separate organization made Tor that
part OF Monongalia lying east Of the
mountains, with the formation OF
the new county government and
county politics. 1t seems as if some
politicians Of the University county
still think we owe our allegiance to
them and must bend the knee to
Baal. Old Preston has always been

GREAT EXCITEMENT.
Mad Dog Alarms the Lower
End of Town.


Hunt In Which Hundreds Joined-Dog
is Chased for an Hour and Half Be-
fore 1t is Killed-Nuabers of Dogs
Bitten Several People Grabbed at
Blythe Animal.
Several hundred people headed by
the chief of police afforded very ex-
citing experience to supposed mad
dog on Tuesday afternoon. The dog
after being chased for an hour and a
half during which several tons of lead
were fred in his direction died from
the excitement. Nervous prostration is
thought to have been the cause of its
death.
The dog which was shepherd had
been in town for a day or so having
stayed in and being unused to the
noise and hustle of town got very ner-
vons. a number Of scraps with the
town dogs and chases by the town
children added to its alarm and it be-
gun TO run amuek.
1t snapped at Charles White on
Monday and was shotat several times
by him but escaped unhurt. The dog
was next heard of in several parts Of
town where it had bitten other dogs
and had snapped at number of chill
dren. None of these are believed TO
have been bitten although some Of
them have marks of the animals teeth
on them.
TN Tuesday afternoon the dog be-
gan to act more queerly on Front
street and war was declared on it.
Every shot gun and pistol in the
neighborhood was put into commits
sion and great crowd went to hust-
ling him to death. The police were
called in and they joined in the pur-
suit which lasted for an hour and a
half.
The dog was run all over the lower
end of town and around the Universe
ty. 1t was finally corralled in Frank
Pride's Stable on Walnut street and
was pulled out and dispatched. The
chase had brought out every one in
that section of town and a great
many queer weapons were to be seen.
Many narrow escapes were experien-
ced by spectators who got in the way
Of the flying missiles.
1t would be good thing to watch
every dog in town and it would not
be amiss to muzzle all of them that
are suspected of having been bitten
Several cases of rabies have already
occurred and some one may be serious
~ bitten by other amin ais If the
greatest care is not taken.
