A BUSINESS CHANGE.
]. G. Roller Sells His Business and
Buildings 10 S. II. Grannis.

S. FL. Grannis has purchased J. G.
Rollers business and buildings owned
by him on the lot at the corner of
Front and Cherry streets viii Oh Mr..
Grannis this week bought of theNation-
al Citizens bank Mr. Roller will dis
pose of the stock on hand, retaining
possession until Aug LIST. when Mr..
Grannis will step in and continue the
business with new stock Mr. Grannis
will conduct the same kind of business
grain. seeds, machinery and coal. He
has been in the grain business for
many years and is we'll known over the
lines Of railway leading out of Mankato
through his former line of elevators.
He is strictly upright in his dealings
and will have the best wishes of all for
his success.
Mr.. Roller has been engaged in bust
ness in Mankato for many years, and
has been a careful and successful bust
nessman He goes out of business in
order to move to Colorado, on account of
his wife's health. He secures land
from Mr. Grannis in exchange for the

senate. Beside Senator Nelson's broad
minded views of the questions of the day,
and hearty support of the progressive ma
tional administration, Gov. Lind will
hardly measure up to the requirements of
the people of the North Star state.
The slate further contemplates Judge
Canty as fusion's candidate for the gov
ernorship. In the Sixth district, ex-Mayor
Truelsen, of Duluth, is slated for con
gress. In the Fifth district it is declared
that S. M. Owen shall run, and in this dis
trict T. ]. Knox. of Jackson, has the o. K.
of the bosses. This is the slate the Lind
machine is arranging, and the masses of
the fusion following will never be asked
"by your leave. sir?"
Of course this comprises the best talent
of the fusion outfit, and they can put up a
fight that will make the campaign in Min
nesota most interesting one, but when it
comes to getting an endorsement of the
voters of the state, that is question of an
entirely different color.
Minnesota has had taste of fusion rule
in the governorship, and to judge from the
feeling through the state, that is as far as
they wish to go in the matter. The
principles which the Lind -Rosing machine
stands for, are not the principles on which
our present prosperity is founded The
alleged slate will be able to put forth a
fine display of oratory and give the cam
paign great spectacular effect, but the
ideas which it represents are reactionary
and dangerous and not in tune with present
progress.

ment of ladies' tailor made suits been

SCHUMACHER'S CASE.
His Bail is Placed at Fifteen
Hundred Dollars.
He Denies That He Was Married to the
Woman in Louisiana-A Brief
Courtship.

Adam L. Schumacher was arraigned
in the police court this forenoon on
the charge of bigamy, preferred by his
second wife. S B. Wilson appeared as
his attorney, and the examination was
set for April 2Sth, at 10 a. m. Bail
was placed at $1,000.
Chief Bruels returned from st. Paul
last evening, having Schumacher IN
charge, and the prisoner was lodged at
the county Jail. Mr.. Bruels was
watching around Schumacher's haunts
in st. Paul, and happened to meet him
on the street. yesterday.
When seen by Free Press reporter,
CDR" Schumacher stated that he and
his wife would settle the matter and
the prosecution would be dropped. He
said that she has already made over
lures. He said that he had not com.
mitted bigamy, as he had never mar
ried the Louisiana woman. They had
travelled together in the same medl-
cine company for long time, she hav-
ing her part to do and he having his,
For property reasons, he had com.
menced the action of divorce from her,
and thought that he deserved credit for
trying to straighten out matters.
Schumacher says that he was to have
been referee in prize fight in st. Paul
last night and in another tonight, and
was to have received $50 for each
night. He said that the reason he
went to st. Paul last week was to regis
ter for the coming election. He has
voted in ST. Paul sometimes and in
Mankato sometimes, residence in
either place of only thirty days being
necessary, so long as he is resident of
Minnesota. In regard to the affidavit
in his divorce proceedings that he had
been resident of Ramsey county for a
year previous to the filing of the COM
plant in February, whereas it is
claimed that he voted in Mankato in
April last, he states that his attorney
prepared the papers and he did not
know that he had made such an aft
davit
Schumacher states that he met Mrs.
Zeugner on Tuesday and married her
on the next day. She was sick at the
time and it was not known whether
she would recover. A priest was APP
piled to but did not think Mrs. Zeugner
in a condition to marry, and refused to
marry them, so civil marriage was
performed.
Schumacher states that he studied
three years for the priesthood and af.
forwards enlisted in the army and was
assigned to the hospital service, even
tually becoming an assistant surgeon.
Schumacher endeavored to have his
wife go on his bond and was very af-
fectionate in his endeavors to win her
over. She accompanied him and Of
fcer Daniels to the city hall and at
torneys' offices, but refused to sign her
name to the bond, and Schumacher
was turned over to Sheriff Gerlich.
Mrs. Schumacher No. 1 some time
ago forwarded her marriage certificate
to firm Of local attorneys, and it ap-
peared to be made out in due form. 1t
tends to disprove Schumacher's state
ment that he was never married to her.

THE LIND-ROSING SLATE.

The political writer on the Minneapolis
Tribune says that the Lind-Rosing polit-
ical syndicate has slate in the process of
construction, or which may be fully pre-
pared. Enough has been learned, he says,
in general way, to substantiate the out
line which he gives. The fusion forces
will sopport Charles A. Towne for vice
president on the Bryan ticket. The home
program as outlined, puts Gov. Lind in
the race for the senatorship against Sen
a tor Nelson. Lind is known to have a
longing desire for seat in the senate, and
would like it much better than the gov
ernorship. There is no question but that
he would make the strongest candidate the
fusion hosts could put up. But with the
pessimistic qualities of Senator Pettigrew,
of South Dakota, in mind, which Mime
sofas fusion governor fully endorses, the
people of this state will hardly care to be
represented by man of that stamp in the

granting it the right to do business in that
city. The judge holds that the city coun-
Gil had perfect right to repeal such ordi-
nance whenever it saw fit, as the company
had no vested rights in the streets of that
city. The trouble between the city and
the company begun several years ago,
when the city passed an ordinance direct
ing wires to be put underground. The
case will now go to the supreme court, and
if it is affirmed is likely to have far reach
ing effect in the handling of and dealing
with corporations of semi-public nature.

RURAL FREE DELIVERY.
A Route May be Established Out From
AmbOy.

Hon. Gilbert Guttersen, supervisor
of the rural free delivery service. was
in the city yesterday. He states that
twenty-one applications for the service
have been filed from the Second con-
gressional district, of which one is
from this county, and with the warm
backing of Congressman McCleary it is
thought that all will be granted. The
one from this county asks for route
from Amboy west to the county line,
making a distance of twenty-six miles
and accommodating 500 people. Only
one route is in operation now in the
Second district, that being out from
Lynd, Lyon county. Mr.. Guttersen
was at Amboy Tuesday inspecting the
proposed route, and went to Madelia

rying packages for farmers; they also
attend to special delivery and register
ed letter business and sell postage

front of the farm yards, and the car

furnished several excellent selections,
Miss Minnie Schoyen rendered violin
solo very acceptibly, Miss Menth and
Miss Hughes sang delightful solos. and
Miss Rice did some good piano work
