to purchase. 1t is the "Simplex, F"
manufactured by the Unitype COM
pany, with general headquarters at
Manchester, Conn, with an eastern
Office in New York and a western
Office in Chicago. 1t is perfectly con-
structed machine and almost human
in it's action. It's mechanism is not
complicated, and it's operation is not
difficult. Almost any man possessed
of ordinary intelligence and with a
reasonable amount of Judgment can
become an expert in six months. We
say this Understandings, because two
months use of the machine in the
Free Press Office has demonstrated
what at first seemed impossible to us
into an established fact. The ma
chine was installed into this Office two
months ago. The operator, Mr.. Chas.
Mayer, and the justifier, Miss Edith
Gibbons, had neither of them ever
before seen a typesetting machine,
much less ever having attempted to
use one. The first day the machine
was ready for use they set more type
than swift hand compositor could
put up. They have gradually and con-
stantly increased their speed until to-
day they will easily set more type in
eight hours than any four hand COM
positors we have ever had could put
up in the same time.
:. The machine, of which cut is here
with presented, takes up no more floor
space than a rain barrel. 1t is operated
with a keyboard similar to a type
writer. 1t does it's own spacing and
leading. 1t does it's own distributing
and unloading. In short, about all
the operator has to do is to ''play the
keys and the machine does the
balance. Mr. Mayer and Miss Gibbons,
with two months practice are capa-
BILE of an average "string" of 1900
Ems an hour for the full eight
hours, and it will be less than two
months more when they will be able
to put up 6, 800 FMS" per hour.
1t will thus be seen that the machine
is great advantage to well regulated
printing offices. In fact, once installed
it becomes indispensable. One man

DEATH OF MRS. COTTON.

Mr.. L. Patterson received a telephone
message from his son-in-law, J. c.
Cotton, that his mother died in West
Superior yesterday afternoon. The
Free Press announced the serious ill
ness of Mrs. Cotton Saturday and it
was feared that she could not recover.
The remains were taken to the home
of her daughter in Minneapolis today.
Funeral services will be held tomorrow
and the remains will start for Penn
sylvania on the evening train and laid

Senator Wellington has been bap-
tised into Bryan Democracy by Bryan
himself for scuttling out of Republican
ism. Wellington proceeded to tell at
the meeting at Cumberland, Md, how
he had proceeded backward from the
position he had occupied as Repub-
lican, until he reached Bryan, who is
standing where he stood four years
ago. From all accounts Wellington
did not have to drop back much as he
has never been much of progressor.
His audience, however, had little SYM
pathy for him. They SOON to have
been too progressive. Doubtless they
did not relish his calamity views in
the midst of present prosperity.

The difference is strikingly like the
two eminent American citizens. The
census returns report President Nc
Kinley's home city of Canton to con-
tain 80, 667 inhabitants, gain of II. 10
per cent since 1890. Mr.. Bryan s
home city of Lincoln, shows popu-
ALTON of 40,69, loss of %. 10 per cent
in ten years. Like his city, Mr.. MIC
Kinley is progressive and expansive,
and Mr.. Bryan like his city, is re-
Progressive and contractive. The con-
trast is truly suggestive and instruc-
tive. Omaha and Lincoln, where the
destructive seeds of Organism have
been sown with lavishness bordering
on extravaganza for the past six years
have contracted in population SO and
3 per cent respectively. Canton and
Dayton, where the seeds of Mckinley
prosperity were planted four years
ago have expanded in population II
and SO per cent respectively Another
case of Bryan "paramounted. .

The Red Wing Republican says that
in the first judicial district there have
been issued since Jan. 1, 1895, 5000
naturalization papers. If other dis
tricts through the state have done as
we'll according to the population sub

November ought not to shrink percep-
tibly because of the constitutional
amendment adopted four years ago,
from the vote at that time.

Word comes from Washington that
enough is learned of the Minnesota
census to make the prediction that the

mark. This will give one additional

be ready.

Pettigrew for the senate. Pettigrew

the nomination of NJ E. Matthews,

rendered McCleary's election as sure
as election day comes, making it an
easy campaign for him and allowing
him time to work some out side the dis
trict, helping Republicans in doubtful
localities 1t thinks that their refusal to
comply with Senator Johnson's terms
was due principally to the fact that
they did not believe Mr.. McCleary
could be defeated, and says the put

than the putting forward of an effort

HAnvARD's TRICK PLAY
In Practice it Has Worked Well-The
PLAY Described.

Harvard has developed new trick
MAY. 1t had It's inception in the STRAIT
egic brain of Captain DAILY, and he Is
much eated over the way 1t has work.
cd against the scrubs. On the defense
the ends lay away out, in order to head
any runner in their section toward the
center. 1t Is almost an imposslbility to
get runner past agood end, and any
means that will get the end out Of the
MAY is eagerly welcomed.
CAPTAIN Days plan Is to have both
ends on the side having possession Of
the ball lineup In front OF the opposing
end, As soon us the ball is passed
back for a run these two players close
around the solitary man on defense
and box him out" of the play. This Is
A comparatively easy matter. AS the
runner with the ball comes tearing
around that end he hns no one to stop
him and SHOULD make q few yards be-
fore being ovcrhauled.
The beauty of this trick play, how
eyer, Is that It can be worked In two
ways When the opposing captain
gees his ends kept out of the play In
this manner he Is very likely TO take
man from the line somewhere to re-
enforce the end position. Here Is where
the nicely Of the play comes In. Where
ever there IS man taken away to help
the end, there Is the spot where the
next attack will be made, and not out
at the end. The line. temporarily
weakened by the absence Of player,
becomes the weakest point in the team,
and. as such, tn logical point OF attack.
