DIED AT MADISON LAKE.
M. w. Cross, of MARION, S. D., Passed
Away Wednesday.

Mr.. NJ. w. Cross, who went to
Madison Lake several days ago and
placed himself under the treatment of
DR.. Allyn, died Wednesday from gas
trio stomach trouble.
Deceased was 90 years of age and a
brother to d. S. and E. G. Cross of
Amboy. His home was at Marion, S.
D., where his family resides. The re-
mains were brought to Mankato that
evening by H. Cross, of Amboy,
nephew of the deceased, and shipped
to his late home, accompanied by E.
G. Gross of Amboy:
John Klein & Co. s embalmer went
to the Lake Wednesday to prepare
the remains for shipment.
A telephone message from Dave
Cross that afternoon brings the sad
information that his father lies at the
point of death at his home in Amboy.
Owing to the old gentleman's extreme
age there is little hope for his re-
covery.

Ros1NG's COMMERCIAL VENTURE.

The new Democratic daily that was
to blossom out in Minneapolis Mon
day morning at 81 per year, mention
of which was made at the time of the
Democratic county convention last
week did not appear, but it is prom
Used for next Saturday morning.
1t is rumored that the reason for its
non-appearance is that its subscription
list which the Democratic state COM
mittee promised did not materialize.
Mr.. Rosing promised 10, 900 sub
scribers at 81 each. If these cannot be
gotten he will likely have to plank
down the difference from the campaign
funds. This commercial venture of
the state committee under the label of
Lind-Rosing syndicate is one which
will likely be strongly resented by the
Democratic press of the state. A good
daily newspaper cannot be furnished
for ST. year, sum one-third less
than the Dem ocratic weeklies of the
state are being furnished at, and from
two-thirds to three-fourths less than
are the country dailies of Democratic
persuasion. Upon the country press,
both Democratic and Republican, must
rest the brunt of campaign work, the
taking to the vast majority of the peo-
pie the facts connected with the issues
at stake, and this attempted invasion
of their field by Mr.. Rosing at the ex-
pense of the state campaign committee
of his party, merits, and we have no
doubt will receive, the condemnation
of the Democratic press of the state,
as it is an unjust invasion upon their
rights and diverting of campaign
funds from their legitimate source.
A good daily paper cannot be furnished
at ST. 90 per year, as the white paper
alone will cost double that amount at
least. AS it cannot be more than a
campaign venture and is backed by the
state committee, the deficiency be-
tween the 81 and what it actually
costs, must be made up from the cam
paign, which would more naturally
belong, if to be used for that purpose,
to the country press, instead of in a
commercial venture that will work
against the interests of that press, and
we shall be surprised if the scheme is
not roundly roasted by the Democratic
nress IF the state as if RIGHTLY de-
serves to be.

The Tracy Murder Suspects Are Releas=
ed For Want of Evidence.
Fred Wood, Flossie Farnsworth, who
was travelling as the wife of Wood,
Frank Phalen, J. c. Brady and Mrs.
J. G. Brady who, on the night of Sep
TENDER 9th, were arrested here and at
Waterville by officers of this city and
by Sheriff Christensen, of Marshall,
and Marshal O'Malley, of Tracy, for
being implicated in the murder OF
Frank Peterson one of their COM
panions, were late Tuesday evening
released from custody, the preliminary
hearing failing to spring any evidence
to show that the above named parties
were responsible for Peterson's death
The whole party came to this city
this morning and after securing a
satchel left at police headquarters at
the time of their arrest, they proceed
ed to take in the town.
A conversation was had that morn
ing by a reporter of the Free Press
with Brady, and in which he states
that they were innocent of the crime
for which they had been held. When
Peterson went to town on the evening
of the supposed murder, he went alone
and that they waited two days for
him to return before they went further
al, Dn&a FOL
them, that he intended staying at
Tracy and its vicinity for some time
theyInaturally came to the conclusion
that he had quit them, although they
urged him to go with them. Another
thing the authorities were not sure of
was that the body found was that of
Peterson, it being so decomposed that
the features were unrecognizable.
They declare their innocence of having
anything to do with the doing away
of Peterson.
The authorities of this city and a
great number of citizens were much
surprised to hear of their release.
The Tracy and Marshall papers as well
as the Twin City papers, in their ac-
counts of the hearing expressed their
belief that enough evidence had been
secured to hold every one of the party.
The party left for Chatfeld,
where all of their paraphernalia has
been taken by Empey, one of the
party who was not held with the rest,
and they will resume their overland
journey from there for the purpose of
horse trading.

THE COAL SITUATION.
Local Dealers Are Filling All Orders at
Practically Old Prices.

So far the coal strike seems to
have affected Mankato but very little.
Coal is being received by our coal
dealers to fill orders, and they profess
to bellows that they will have no trou-
BILE in getting plenty to fill all their
contracts and orders, and at the prices
contracted for. There have been many
rumors on, the street that early con-
tracts made would be cancelled, but
there does not seem to be anything in
this, as the local dealers are going
ahead and delivering as fast as they
receive it, and declare they have
plenty coming to fill all orders they
have yet made. AS to the future they
are saying very little. That depends
entirely on the continuance of the
strike.
In conversation with an agent for a
wholesale coal company, day or two
ago, he stated that while the price of
coal would likely go up, as result of
the sJrike, and going up would be
likely to remain at that point during
the winter, the main trouble would be
to get the coal at any price. He stated
that he had already taken orders for
some of the best grades of soft coal, to
be used in the place of hard coal.
The price quoted in the local market
so far this season has been 81 80 per
ton, and so far the big advances that
have been made in the Twin Cities and
in Chicago have not affected it. This
morning however, some of the dealers
were asking $7.75 and stated that it
was likely TO go to So, while others
stated that they were still filling Or
ders at ST.. 80. If the strike should be
settled soon, it is not likely it will
have much of permanent effect on
the price, though it may be seized as
an excuse by the coal barons, for keep
ing the price up abnormally high all
winter.
The Minneapolis Journal of last
night says that four of the largest coal
dealers of that city withdrew their
quotations on coal yesterday and re-
fused further orders, stating they were
able to fill such orders only as they
have on hand.

COME TO THE RESCUE.
The Firemen Appropriate $50 For Relief
of Texas Sufferers.

The Mankato fire department held a
meeting Tuezday and when the ques-
tion of the great needs of the survivors
of the flood swept section of Texas
came up, prompt and substantial &C
tion was taken forthwith.
The treasurer of the department was
authorized to draw check for $50 in
favor of Jas. Shoemaker, president of
the board of trade, the same to be
added to Mankato's quota to the re-
lief of the stricken section.
Our fire department is not only
heroic in times of confagrations but it
is equally sympathic in times of need.
By this generous contribution the boys
have further endeared themselves to
the public they have SO long and on SO
many occasions faithfully served, and
the money appropriated to this cause
will do its full share in relieving dis
tress, and will bring a sense of feeling
to the members of the department
that they have not been found wanting
in time of need.
The money was Immediately turned
over to Mayor Currier and was for
warded with other contributions today
to the governor of Texas.
School Contributions.
The public and normal schools did
very we'll yesterday in their contribu
tions for the Galveston fund Among
the public school children particularly,
parents had previously given literally
to the cause, and this fact naturally
reduced the size of the contributions
that would otherwise have been made,
but as it was they did splendidly The
city schools turned over to Mayor
Currier $27. 10 and the normal $12.
Other Contributions.
Mayor Currier received So. 90 today
from Garden City to be sent to the
Galveston sufferers.
The Modern Woodmen lodge turned
over to the mayor for the cause of
suffering humanity $40.

Our neighbor, the Rev lew, is wor
ried over Gov Roosevelt, whom it says
is "a calamity bowler of the worst
kind" The trouble with our neigh
Dor, as with many Bryanites, is that
it fails to distinguish between facts
and things that are not facts Mr..
Roosevelt is not calamity bowler nor
has anything fallen from his lips
that can be tortured into calamity
bowling. He has pointed out certain
conditions which will befall this ma
tion if certain policies are carried out,
and in all the assertions he has made
he has had the weight of past history to
back him. The reverse has been the
fate of Bryan. He has charged that
prosperity does not exist, he has re-
sorted to every device to arouse dis
content and made meat of all misfor-
tunes. He stands before the people as
a true calamity bowler, destroyer OF
human happiness and contentment,
while Roosevelt by his life work has
been a constructor, a preacher of cheer
fulness and contentment, builder of
hopes and of states. 1t is not calamity
bowling to point out the dangers that
are sure to follow certain acts. 1t is cal
amity bowling to attempt to paint dis
aster and create discomfort where none
exists under ordinary circumstances,
and where itcould not possibly come if
all would pull together for the best in

THE GLOBES WEAK CASE.

In it's opposition to Capt. Van SAINT
for the governorship, the st. Paul
Globe has been unable to find any
thing against him, that is objection
able, personally or otherwise. In his
public acts it has been obliged to &C
knowledge by it's silence that he has
been thoroughly honest and conscien-
tious in every trust that has been i'm
posed upon him. So it has to turn to
something he has not done, which it
thinks he ought to have done and &C
cuses him of lodging. 1t puts forth
that when he was a member of the
Legislature he evaded responsibility on
several important bills by lodging
vote on them, either by being absent,
or not answering to his name. One
of these bills related to the
railroads, and the Globe argues from
this, that Van SAINT would favor the
roads were he governor, though it
gives no facts to show this would be
the case, nor has it yet advanced any
proof showing that Capt. Van SAINT
lodged the vote in question, or why
he was absent. 1t behooves the Globe
to go very slow on it's fear that Capt.
Van SAINT would be controlled by the
railroads. Its own candidate for the
governorship is not above suspicion,
Oh ho ,,h1io mona
servile than the Globe has yet been
able to prove Mr.. Van SAINT to be.
Gov Lind's veto of the Miller bill,
which he approved before its passage,
has never been satisfactorily explained,
Notwithstanding the fact that he has
on one or two occasions attempted to
do so. 1t has also been attributed
that the veto was obtained through
the influence of President Hill, of the
Great Northern road. Be this as it
may, it is fact that Mr.. Hill sup
ported Lind in 1898 and with his
paper, the Globe is supporting him
now, so that the railroad influence
on the governorship, if there is any,
to any greater extent than there is
from any other quarter, can be pretty
accurately determined.
7 The fact that the Globe had to get
out one of the finest of it's fine tooth
combs in order to scratch up some
thing against Capt. Van SAINT and is
then rewarded only in the most meager
of negative terms, shows the utter
weakness of it's attempt to find any
thing wrong with either the private
or public life of the Republican can
didate for the governorship. He has
always been true to himself. and as a
natural sequence, true in all of his
obligations to the public, and if he
is elected governor, he will be the
chief executive of the state in every
sense of the word, and not controlled
by any clique or ring, nor making any
attempt to be boss or party dictator.
Capt Van SAINT believes thoroughly in
the people. And is making friends
wherever he goes.

TALKED ABOUT CHINA.
First Meeting of Social Science Club For
the Season Tuesday Evening.


The Social Science club held its first
meeting for the season Tuesday at
the Y. M. G. A. rooms with fair at
tendance. The program for the year
was presented by the executive COM
mittee and approved.
Rev. H. D. Williams, A. r. Pau.
Jr., H. E. Swan and DR.. Partridge,
the latter of the normal faculty, were
elected to membership in the club. 1t
was also voted to have at least two
social evenings during the year. 1t was
also voted to accept proposition to
meet in Schiller hall hereafter. The
paper of the evening was read by B.
G. Taylor, on "The Awakening of
China. He called attention to the
present CONFUSION in China and then
went back in history and followed
some of the causes which have led up
to the troubles which now confront the
nations. While he held that the mis-
sionaries had not been wholly free
from blame for some of the troubles
that have appeared on the surface in
China, the trouble he showed had
been largely fomented by the actions
of the traders and the aggressions of
the nations. He pointed out wherein
the actions of foreigners there on the
whole have been SO inconsistent with
the provisions of the Christian religion,
that the Chinese look upon all for
eigners with suspicion. He alluded to
their internal troubles their hatred of
the Manchus, and their dynasty which
the boxers are, among other things
pledged to get rid of. He also gave
brief but interesting account of
China s trouble with England on the
opium deal. This, with the aggressious
of the other nations, has been the chief
cause of the present CONFUSION and
the growth of the hatred that has
grown up of all foreigners In refer
ring to the proposition to divide China
up among the nations and disarmipg
the sections and properly policing
them so as to prevent future trouble
the writer said SIN my opinion
nothing is more calculated to cement
the Orientals together than this at
tempt to break them asunder and de-
stroy their very identity. And should
the great white powers attempt thus
to harness and disarm the yellow
races, they would force them to unite
against the powers and the result
would be a tremendous conflict, the
east against the west, the horrors of
which L do not care to contemplate. 3"
G. N. Andrews led the discussion,
and while he agreed in the main with
the writer in the causes leading to
the present CONFUSION he put the mat
ter of mission work in a somewhat
stronger light and presented it as a
case where the powers attempted to
force Christianity on to the Chinese
against their will. He did not believe
the teachings of Christ contemplated
the spreading religion at the mouth of
a big gun. This aroused considerable
opposition, and quite a spirited dis
cussion followed which was engaged
in by large number of those present.
The next meeting will be held on
Tuesday evening, Oct. I'd, when E. L.
Patterson will read paper on "Trade
Relations With the Orient, and Geo.
NJ Palmer will lead the discussion.
