The truth of metaphysical healing
has been demonstrated and absolutely
proved. Judge Ewing said that every
breath that he had drawn for the past
fifteen years he owed to Christian
science. He knew hundreds upon hun

from the jaws of hell and borne ten

PROSECUTION DROPPED.
Action Against Prof. Tagats Withdrawn
For the Good of the School.

The warrant for the arrest of Gotlieb
Tagats, teacher of the German Luth-
eran school, which was procured Fri
day by Chas. Zimmerman, was
withdrawn this morning by Mr.. I'll m
norman, who decided to drop the pro-
secution for the good of the school, as
discipline is hard to maintain there at
best.
Mr.. Zimmerman is not opposed to
having his children logged by the
teacher when they deserve it, but in
this case he claims that the teacher
was too severe in his punishment,
which left black and blue marks.
Prof. Tagats admits that he used a
heavier stick than he intended to. He
says that Carl Zimmerman and an
other boy expected to be punished for
what they had done, and prepared
themselves for it. Young Zimmerman
had fastened table cloth inside of the
seat of his trousers, and the other boy
had placed his hat in similar pro-
tecting position. Prof. Tagats, who
knew what kind of boys he had to deal
with, detected their defensive prepar-
ations and had them remove the de-
lenses. lie then, without anger, pro-
ceeded to give them such punishment
as he thought fitted the crime. Several
blows were inflicted with few Sec
onds intervening between them.
Prof. Tagats recently succeeded
Prof. REIN at the head of school, the
latter gentleman having gone to APP
pleton, Wis, to accept position. He
was for some time assistant in the
school. He states that some of his
scholars are hard to discipline, but that
matters have recently moved along
very smoothly until the present trouble
came up. 4

Notice to Farmers

The Free Press ia prepared to fur
nish mail boxes with its paper on the
rural free delivery routes and is pre-
pared to provide such patrons of rural
routes the mail boxes at cost price.
These toxes are of the most approved
pattern and are approved by the United
States postoffice department at Wash
ington.
Certain representatives of other
papers are going through the country
making the statement that the Free
Press cannot furnish the approved
boxes. This statement is false and is
only made for the purpose of forcing
rural route patrons to subscribe for
their papers, when local paper is of
much more value to hem.
If Free Press representatives have
not called on you call at the office and
see our box and leave your order to
be supplied when the various routes

NEW LIGHTING PLANT.
New UIm Will Have Its Power Plant
Renovated,

New Ulm, Nov. 25 Charles L.
Pillsbury, Minneapolis, engineer for
the city electric light plant. has sub
mitted his plans, and they. comprise q
complete revision of the entire city
plant, which was built with this end
in view couple of years ago. The
city issued bonds to the amount of
$50, 600 for the building of the plant,
and it is now thought that that sum
will be inadequate. The refusal of the
city to buy the present plant from
private owners has made the expense
very great, and since the charter of
the present company does not expire
for several years. there will be two
systems of electric lights operating in
this city.

ORE ROYALTY.
State Auditor Would Have C0nstitu-
ton Fix Rate.

st. Paul, Nov. 25.-"The royalty of
% cents ton on ores sh Guild be fixed by
the constitution and not by statute, -
said State Auditor Dunn Saturday.
81 am in favor of taking vigorou
steps to amend the constitution so as
to place the minimum royalty at that
amount -
The remark was made in connection
with an informal talk about the value
of the recent discoveries of iron de-
posits on section 36-59-17 of state
school land on the Vermillion range,
near Virginia. The deposit is very ex-
tensive and is said to be of a very
high grade. Some of the samples ran
as high as 81 per cent.
1.-THE workinsg of the mines on the
newly discovered deposits, said
Auditor Dunn, twill mean a large
amount of money for the school fund.
1t is no Utopian estimate to say that if
the deposits prove to be as high as es-
timated. the school fund alone will be
richer by 81, 600, 900
"The present royalty of 25 cents a,
ton, as fixed by the statute, can be
changed by any state legislature. The
royalty at present is very fair and a
reduction to 10 or 90 cents per ton
would deprive the state of great deal
of money.
''But if a constitutional amendment
is made, the legislature will have no
power to give away such privileges
and the school and other state funds
will be sure of their just share of the
profits of mining the ores found on
state lands
Mr.. Dunn is afraid that when the
ore lands are taken up under mineral
leases, which they will be as soon as
the great value of their deposits are
discovered, that pressure will be
brought upon the legislature to reduce
the royalty, as was attempted during
the session in 1895.

AN ELECTRIC LINE.
One From Mankat0 to st. Cloud
is Proposed.
Col. Chase, the Builder of a Line Out
From Souix Falls, Will Start Over
the Route Monday.

There is move on foot to have al
electric railway constructed from thi
city to st. Cloud, with the idea tt
eventually extend to Duluth. 1t will
take the place of the proposed Duluth,
st. Cloud, Glencoe & Mankato road,
which does not appear to be in very
promising way.
Jacob Rooms, a prominent residen
of New Auburn, a town on the pro
posed line, was in the city THURSDAY
and had talk with Geo. T. Barr
about the matter. He has been inter
ested in Capt. Reed road, but, like
others along the line, is getting some
what impatient for results. Learning
through the papers that Col. VIM. 81.
Chase of Sioux Falls is about to con-
struct an electric line out of that city
for distance of forty miles, he wrote
to Col Chase and asked him whether
he could not build the Mankato- St.
Cloud line.
Col Chase replied that he could not
say whether the scheme would be feas
ible until he could personally look the
ground over. If he found it to be sat
isfactory, he had eastern business con
nections who would build and operate
the road He had little more right
of way to secure for his Sioux Falls
road, after which he could come and
look over the route of the proposed
line. AS a guaranty of good faith,
he would want a check for 5000 and
would want his expenses paid while
going over the route.
The people of New Auburn held a
meeting and raised 5000 in cash and
sent Mr.. Rooms to Sioux Falls to see
Col. Chase and urge the matter upon
him. The latter promised to come to
Mankato on the :13 a. m. train Mon
day morning next and drive over the
route. Mankato is expected to furnish
a team to New Sweden, Nicollet
county, which the board of trade will
no doubt gladly do.
Col. Chase stated that if everything
was satisfactory, he would either build
the road himself or see that it was
done by others if he had not the time.
1t would be standard guage road,
with heavy rails, and would do a
freight and passenger business. Ex-
cept for the grading, it would cost
about as much to construct as steam
road, but would cost much less to
operate.
Mr.. Rooms made inquiries about
Col. Chase in the twin cities, and
found that he stands we'll in financial
circles. He was colonel of Maine
regiment during the war.
The distance from Mankato to st.
Cloud is about 100 miles An electric
road, to run to st. Clair, New Sweden
and so on north, would be of incalcul-
able advantage to Mankato. 1t would
be fully as desirable line from a
business point of view as steam
line. 1t looks as though here may be
an opportunity to secure what the city
has long wanted, and our business
men should give it encouragement.

ART TALKS IN THE SCHOOLS.

The Art History club will resume
the art talks in the eight grade which
proved SO popular two years ago and
which were unavoidably omitted last
year.
The talks will begin with the win
ter term, Dec LIST, and end the last OF
May. The work will be arranged a
little different this year and will in
clude the most noted Italian, Flemish,
Dutch and Spanish painters. The
plan is to take those masters who
painted the "twelve great paintings
and tell the pupils something of their
lives, school of art and the work they
each accomplished.
This work upon the part of the Art
History club is certainly commend
able one, and cannot fail to be both
interesting and productive of good re-
suits.

FAILED TO APPEAR.
James R. Marvin is Backward About
Answering Questions.

James R. Marvin is very elusive
individual. Last year he paid taxes
in this county to the amount of $500.
A year or so before he was taxed on
81, 600 in Watonwan county, being per-
sonal property. This year Assessor
Jordan has him listed for $13, of
personal property, but he claims that
neither this county nor Watonwan is
his home He claims Ramsey county
as his residence.
Yesterday, State Auditor Dunn had
hearing to determine in what county
Mr., Marvin should be taxed He was
cited to appear, but did not do 80.
Those present were Auditor Weaver,
Assessor Jordan, the auditors of Ram
sey and Watonwan counties, and the
assessors of ST. Paul and st. James.
Mr.. Dunn recognized the iustic5 of
the claim which Blue Earth county
has upon Mr.. Marvin, but announced
that he would procure his appear ance
to answer questions by placing an as
sessment of $40, 900 against him in
Ramsey county.
Mr.. Marvin is reputed to be worth
$3.50, 600, consisting of plantation in
Louisiana and mortgages in various
counties in Minnesota. His father
was formerly resident of Garden
CITY, and he was there for several
weeks or months last summer. Asses
sor Jordan will try to have this county
established as his residence, but it is
thought that st. Paul will get
his residence this year.

SEVEN MILE CREEK.
A Way For the Electric Line to Leave
the Minnesota Valley.

NJ B. Haynes has prepared a map
showing the proposed route of the Du-
luth, st. Cloud, Glencoe & Mankato
railroad, for use of Col. Chase, the
Sioux City man who is thinking of
building an electric line over the
route Col. Chase thought that the
chief engineering difficulties would be
encountered in getting out of the Min
nesota river valley, when talking with
Mr.. Rooms.
The map which Mr.. Haynes has pre-
pared follows the valley to a point
north of the county line, where it
crosses the Minnesota river and fol-
lows Seven Mile creek out of the val
ley. This is the old Everett route.
Whether the line will go southeast
from this city through St. Clair to
Albert Lea will be matter for future
consideration.
