SIR THOMAS ADMITS DEFEAT.-Sir
Thomas Upton was a disappointed
man after the race yesterday in
which Shamrock was defeated by
Columbia, but he took bic defeat
like O true sportsman. "rhe better
boat won," was the summary OF
bic criticism. ut was not the fault Of
wind this time nor the skipper, nor the
crew. 1t was simply tho boat. Under
prevailing conditions the Columbia
proved herself to be the superior OF the
Shamrock II in beating against the
wind. Where we thought she would
make the strongest showing enc was
least strong. There is still chance,
but it is nothing more. Yesterdays
race was decisive and Watson would
never design another challenger" he

Sunday Base Ball Causes Much Trouble
at Redwood Fails.

Redwood Falls, Aug. 20.-Sunday
baseball is on trial in Redwood Falls.
Sunday afternoon Revs. 81. Goodacre,
A. j. Barackman, E. A. Orr and Will
lam Mitchell appeared at the fair
grounds and tried to prevent a game
between Redwood Falls and Golden
Gate. They asked the manager to de-
sist and upon his refusal threatened
arrest under the state law. The man
ager replied by giving the order, "play
ball. - The game began and soon the
sheriff appeared and was ordered by
the ministers to make the arrests. He
preferred to have warrants issued first
These were sent for, but failed to ar
rive until the game was over. The
manager and three players were then
arrested.
The manager retaliated by securing
the arrest of the four preachers and
five spectators, who, he charged, were
in sympathy with the ministers. The
sheriff was ordered to serve the war
rants on the preachers during evening
service, but he declined to do 80. All
nine were arrested yesterday morning
on the charge of Sabbath breaking
and will be arraigned today. Among
those arrested was A. M Welles, edi-
tor of the Redwood Reveille.

HAS BEEN BUSY.
The Third Rigiment Has Made q Great
Record in the Philippines.

Minneap oils Times:
The Third United States infantry,
formerly stationed at Fort Smelling, is
making great record in the Philip
pines. Three days after the arrival
of the regiment at Manila, March 90,
1899, the entire command was placed
on the fighting line and since that
time the regiment has been in the
thick of the fighting.
The Third was engaged in scouting
east and west of the railroad from
Caloocan to San Fernando for year
and half. Engagements we're fought
at one or more points every week, and
as result the country in that vi
cinity, hot-bed of instruction, has
been cleared Of its bands of armed in
surgents.
The regiment has taken more arms
than any other command on the is
lands. The casualties as compared
with the other regiments have been
heavy. One officer and fifteen men
have been killed in acton; seven men
died of wounds and ninety from
disease. The list of wounded in action
aggregates three officers and fifty
three men.
The present strength of the regiment
is 1, 440 officers and men, who in July
were distributed in twenty-four gar
lisons, taking care of as many towns
the cities.

PAN-AMERICAN EXPOSITION.
BostOck, the Animal King.-.Werihy
Exhibit.

Undoubtedly the greatest attraction
of the entire Psn-Americaon exposition
is that of the great Bostock wild ami
NAL arena |; it is truly one of the mar
wells of the twentieth century. The
wonderful feats of wild animal sub
jugation SHOWN there are nothing short
of miraculous. AS one passes into the
auditoriu1q, of the massive structure
wherein nearly thousand specimens
of the denizens of forest and plain,
jungle and mountain are Gagged, one
imagines himself transported suddenly
into smyposiunD consisting Of every
latitude of the world. Here he finds
represented every animal from the
friendly dog and timid squirrel to the
ferocious lion and man eating tiger.
Unlike most travelling menageries
the animals@in the Bostock SHOWS are
in perfect condition. No scrawny, i'll
kept beasts are there. All are worthy
representatives of their specie Owing
to new and powerful disinfectant
used in the auditorium, no offensive
oder, generally SO noticeable where
there is a collection of animals, is 70

Probably the most wonderful of the
many wonderful performances given
in the massive steel aerna (which, by
the way, is 10 feet in diameter) is that
of Captain Bonavi6a, who enters this
steel barred stage with % ll-grown,
forest bred, male African lions and
puts them through series of group
ings and fea6s that are aweinspiring
and thrilling to an extreme. This act
is conceded by all who have been so
fortunate as to see it, to be the acme
of lion training-far superseding and
surprising anything of the kind ever
before attempted.
One notable feature about the Bos-
took show is that one price of admis-
sion admits the visitor to the entire
exhibition. There are no after
charges. so annoying to the patrons of
the midway. Mr.. Bostock is to be
congratulated upon this Just ar

PROBABLY. THE SAFEST.

The action of the counciE last Friday
evening in declining to turn over the
lots to the library board, which were
purchased for the new library build
ing, was doubtless the safest and most
business-like course to pursue, as really
the council has no right to the lots at
this time to assign. The points put
forth by the library board favoring
such transfer were strong ones, and
it is to be regretted that it could not
be done with every assurance of safety.
1t would push matters along toward
the early completion of the building
very considerable if the foundation
could be put in this fall, and so allow
work on the supersbructure to COM
mence early in the spring. 1t was
also urged by the board that it would
enable>the contractor to put in his Or
der this fal3 for the steel work needed
in construction and so stand better
chance Of having it ready in the
spring when wanted, and so avoid pos
sible delay. But if this work was
pushed forward and the foundation put
in and shen one Of the heirs to the
property should object to the transfer
at the Last momeat, the situation would
become complicated. and the board
would, be in the position of having a
library building foundation in on
other peoples property. Slips in such
transfers have often been made at the
very last moment, and because OF this
the Free Press believes the council
was justified in declining to transfer
that which it really has not power just
at this time so to do. As to preventing
unnecessary delay in receiving the
steel work, 1t would seem to the Free
Press that the contract might be let
late in the fall, or early winter, as soon
as the transfer is closed up, and the
contractor. could then place his order
so that he would be likely to receive
the steel when wanted next summer
without any particular delay, and
unnecessary risk would in that way be
avoided.

NEW ROAD PLAN.
Whereby God Rosds sre Berg Built
for the Farmer.


Wheaton Footprints =
Sibley county seems to have the
most sensible plan of road building of
any in the state. 1t is as follows
Each township must raise some
amount of money for road purposes
and proceed to let out their work to
contractors, such as gravel hauling,
grading, or bridge building to the low
est responsible bidder; and after the
contracts are finished work complet-
ed and accepted) the town clerk sends
copy of said contracts to the county
auditor, who in turn sends back to said
town check for one-half the amount
of each contract, this, however, is
limited not to exceed $500 in any one
year to any one township. Some peo
pie say, "well, that half of it from the
county does not help the farmer any.
We must all pay it anyway in our
taxes. That is not true, for the fund
out of which said money is to be de-
rived is levied on all the taxable pro-
perty, including all cities and villages,
and can only be applied on county and
town roads. Thus the villages, which
derive portion of the benefit, assist
in paying the expense and under the
contract system the work is done bet
ter and cheaper than any other way.
In the town of Cornish, Sibley county,
during the past five years, they have
had their grading done through
marshes and in the stockiest kind Of
slough lands for the small sum of to
Z cents cubic yard. ....

STREET RAILWAY.
Conference Tonight to Talk 1t
Over.
Board of Trade Committee
Takes Initiative, and PraCti-
Cal Steps Are Proposed.

1t being now generally conceded that
the franchise of the Mankato Electric
Street Railway, Light and Power Co.
will expire next week through the in
ability of the company to take advan-
tage of it, the board of trade commit
tee has decided to go actively at work
toward securing street railway. 1t
has called conference of thirty bust
ness men, to meet with the committee
at the board of trade rooms this eve
ming. At this meeting, plan which
is expected to lead to success will be
talked over. The main object of the
conference is to get these business men
interested in the move, so that it may
have some local backing.
1t is proposed, among other things,
in order to convince the business men
of this city that street railway line
would pay, if properly constructed and
managed, and send committee to
Mason City and Waterloo, Iowa, and
other cities of the size of Mankato that
have paying lines in operation, in Or
der that they may see for themselves
what is being done and investigate the
plans pursued by the companies and
the question of profits.
The Waterloo liDe is Said to be doing
we'll financially. without having a
lighting contract. 1t is said that the
railway has resulted in great improve
ment to the city. The same is said to
be true at Mason Cigy..
Hugh Evans, who was down from
st. Cloud last week, reported that the
street railway line in that city is pay
ing.
Lines that are profitable are those
that push out into the outskirts and
make business for Themselves.
The board of trade committee is i'm
earnest, and has more than one "lead"
that promises a successful outcome.

STRICT LAW NEEDED
For the Regulation of Fraternal Insur-
ance in Minnesota.

St. Paul Dispatch:
Insurance Commissioner Dearth, in
his annual report on the life insurance
business done in Minnesota, says the
laws governing fraternal insurance are
a disgrace to the state.
Since the bill introduced last winter
for the regulation of these societies,
he has been flooded with applications
from all manner of societies from
every section of the country.
Many of these fraternal companies,
he says, are anything but sound, and
the only way in which they can be
made safe is to enact law providing
that they shall charge premium rate,
at per cent interest, will create a
fund sufficient to mature the face
amount called for by the policy at the
time of its certain maturity, with a
sufficient loading to meet necessary ex-
penses. The mortality cost of frater
nal society. he holds, is bound to equal
that of an old line company, and the
only saving possible for the fraternal
company is in expenses.
He recommends a law compelling
all life companies to charge a rate
based upon a standard table of NOR
tally, with an interest rate that will
give assurance that the protection
furnished is reliable.
Assessment, life and accident bust
ness in Minnesota decreased last year
from 81, 600, 600 in force to SO, 900, 600.
This is exclusive of fraternals.
The sick benefit societies are said to
be the worst class of offenders against
good business policy. The commits
sioner says that several of these COM
panies are reporting to the Office,
which, should they meet with death
loss, would not be able to pay it in
full even if the entire proceeds of
year assessment were available. He
that the societies should
not be allowed to issue death indem-
nifty policy in excess of 81, 900 at the
most.
1t is recommended that the laws
governing assessment life insurance
be repealed altogether, max
lug it impossible to organize this class
of cOmDanies
