BOARD OF TRADE.

At the board of trade Monday morning
railroad matters were talked over to
some extent, and several different fea-
lures of moves said to be in contem-
plation were referred too.
Aid. Meyer appeared before the
board and stated that representatives
of the Omaha and North Western roads
desire to build a track east of the
union depot Also a spur track to run
along the edge of Pike street to the
new transfer house to be built They
wish speedy action on the part of the
council. Mr.. Meyer thought the
board of trade ought to take up the
matter for an expression of the citi-
zens on that subject. He thought the
proposed track would be detriment to
the interests of the city. The matter
was referred to the committee on rail
roads. The members of the board pre-
sent thought it would be against the
best interests of the city to have the
proposed track put in east of the
passenger depot of the two roads men
toned.

TOURISTS RETURN.
Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. E. Brett Back From
the South.

Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. E. Brett returned
Saturday from a trip on the Florida
coast and other Florida towns.
In company with Mr.. and Mrs. L.
P. Hunt and B. E. Baker and family
of Duluth, Mr. and Mrs. Brett started
for Florida five weeks ago, and the
three families together visited ST..
Augustine, Rockiedge, Townsville,
Jacksonville, Daytona and Sea Breeze.
At Rockledge Mr.. and Mrs. Brett left
the party on their return home. The
trip was pleasant one, but the
weather was cool, the thermometer
registering from 30 to 40 degrees, with
cool nights. They spent ten days at
Sea Breeze-a delightful resort. Rock
ledge is famous for its production of
delicious oranges, which grow on the
Indian river, and for its game and fish.
Although the trip was an enjoyable
one, Mr.. and Mrs. Brett are glad to
get back home.

CREAMERY ASSOCIATION.
Steps Taken to Form One at Lake Cry-
stall Yesterday.

A.C. Noble, butter maker in the local
creamery, was in Lake Crystal Friday
where he attended a meeting of butter
makers, called for the purpose of TAX
ing the necessary steps toward forming
county creamery and dairy associa-
ton. Some six or seven creameries of
the county were represented. A tenn
porary organization was formed and a
committee appointed to draft consti-
tuition and bylaws and report at a
future meeting. The gathering ad-
journed to meet at Mapleton on Thurs
day next, when it is expected that the
attendance will be considerably larger.
With the number of creameries now
located in this county it would seem
that strong organization ought to be
secured and much benefit accrue to all
as a result.

REDUCED TO ONE.
Reports of People Too Poor to Pay for
Vaccination Were Exagg rated.

The number of unvaccinated child
rem still remaining out of the public
schools is twenty-six. Of these,
eleven are from the Franklin scho Of,
twelve from the West Mankato and
three from the Union. Of these, only
one is reported as INDECENT, and in
that case the inability to pay is said
to be only temporary. The reason sgiven
for not vaccinating are hostility to
vaccination on principle, and unwill-
ingness to vaccinate in the winter
season.
Prof. Enslow of the high school gave
talk to the teachers and pupils of the
Pleasant Grove school this afternoon
on the subject of air pressure. The il
Illustrations with air pump and Access
sorry apparatus gave the children new
and intelligent ideas on many of the
common phenomena of nature.

TOO MANY FILINGS.
David Blunt in Uncle Sans
Clutches
He Would File on Pine LsBds and Their
Sell Out 10 Capitalists for
Small Amounts.

David Blunt of Hubbard county il
locked up in the Blue Earth county
Jail on the charge of having "willfully
and corruptly made false oath to an
affidavit before VIM. A. Culkin, regis
ter of the United States land Office at
Duluth, in making a homestead appli-
cation, knowing said oath to be false.
1t is alleged by Milton D. Purdy, the
complaining witness, that this was
done in Duluth April 21st, 1900.
Chief Deputy U. s. Marshal I. J.
Sheehan went to st. James Friday
and arrested Blunt at the home of his
brother-in-law, Henry Craig, mile
west Of st. James, and brought him
to Mankato in the afternoon. Blunt
was taken before Court Commissioners
Eberhart and his hearing was set for
March 18th at ? p. m, and his bail
was fixed at $780, He hopes to be able
to furnish it later.
Blunt is seventy-fve years of age,
but still sprightly and well preserved.
He is very sorry over the occurrence e
and claims that he was led into wrong
doing by land or uiser named Phile-
man De7ereaux. According to his
story, his family is dead. He has re-
sided in the northern part ofMinnesota
for the last fourteen years, but in
November last came to live with his
brother-in-law. In February of last
year he filed on 173 acres of pine land
in Beltrami county and paid for the
extra thirteen acres in cash. In June
he sold his claim to T. E. Walker of
Minneapolis for $500 above cost. In
April ne filed on 100 acres near Duluth
and sold mis- claim at once to Gov.
Rich of Michigan for $l25. He says
that Devereaux told him that his Feb
ruary filing was no good and that he
could legally file on another piece, and
he feels bitter toward Devereaux,
whom he blames for his present
trouble. He says that he acted in good
faith.
Blunt says that he did not learn
that the government was after him I'M
til yesterday. Last month ne got q
letter fromAttorneyM ckeon of Duluth,
who was acting OF Gov. Rich. stating
that if he surrendered his claim to
the government no one would make
him any trouble and he did this.
Blunt says that the only other land he
ever filed on was piece near st. Cloud
ten years ago, which the railroad
eventually got from him. He says
others are filing on land only for the
purpose of selling to wealthy men,
who take this means of getting the
pine land and he does not like to be
singled out, especially as the other par
tiesknow that it is wrong and he did
not

Amboy Herald: Clark S. Latin
went over the river last Monday for a
load of oats, and as he was coming
down hill, on his return, he was
walking by the side of the wagon,
driving, when part of the harness
broke. In attempting to stop the team
he slipped and fell under the wagon,
the hind wheel running over both legs
below the knee He did net let go the
lines however, and managed to stop
the horses, but for wonder no bones
were broken. He managed. with great
difficulty, to fix up the harness, get
onto the load and drive home, but in a
very cold and faint condition.
st. Peter Herald: A repE to the let
ter recently sent to Congressman Nc
Cleary relative to securing donation
for library building from Mr.. Car
negie has been received by the secre-
tary of the library board. Mr. Nc
Cleary states that he has referred
the matter to Mr.. Carnegie and that
he has replied stating that it was i'm
possible for him to do anything de-
fnitely in the matter at present.

MASS MEETING SUGGESTED.

Editor Free Press AS a citizen in
terested in good government by the
people, I wish to suggest that it would
perhaps be good idea to hold citi-
zens' mass meeting and thereby show
our representatives in the legislature
that the people are interested in and
want the primary election law now
before the legislature passed. Every
one who has ever attended caucus
knows it is nothing but farce, and in
no way expresses the wishes of the
voters as to who they want for their
candidates. Why not let the people
elect their own candidates? Some of
our good citizens who are familiar
with such things and have the time
might get the matter started to hold a
m ass meeting.
