The report of the census bureau or
Minnesota manufactures for the past
decade makes very gratifying show
ing. According to it the total number
,of manufacturing establishments. in
creased from 7, sos in 1890 to II, ia in
1900, or as. 1 per cent. The increase in
capital employed was from $1s7, 6S6,
61S in 1890 to .$165, 455, 1876 in 1900,
while wages paid increased from $50,
81, 1913 to $50, 455, 1873. The cost of the
materials used in manufacture in
creased from $11S, 4S1, GAL to $173, 425,
6l5 and the value of products increas-
ed from $192, 033, 476 to $3.50, 600, SS1.
This is remarkable good showing.
Minneapolis leads in manufacturing
interests. with st. Paul second and
Duluth third. The smaller cities were
not given in the Washington dispatch,
and probably cannot be obtained until
the bulletin is mailed. Considering
the fact that we had four or five years
Of very close times during the decad g,
the advance made in the manufacture

most satisfactory.

Washington reports indicate that
the ways and means committee of the
house will have a tariff bill for the
Philippines ready to report to the
house this week and it is probable
that the effort will be made to pass it
by the house before the holiday recess,
Chairman Payne of the committee has
submitted to his Republican colleagues
a bill which he has prepared, which
embraces the Dingley bill 50 far as all
exports from the Philippines to the
United States are concerned. 1t further
applies the Philippine commission 8
tariff schedule to goods entering the
islands. A rebate is granted of GUS
toms tax on goods which have paid an
internal revenue tax in this country.

Washington news is to the effect
that the great transcontinental railway
companies are developing a sentiment
against the -Pauncefote treaty in
the senate, and will work to defeat
legislation in behalf of the isthmian
canal. 1t is claimed that two or three
northwestern senators who have here
tofore been friendly to the canal
scheme, are developing spirit OF
criticism, and are causing some
anxiety in certain quarters. Their
names are not given. Public sentiment
is strong in favor of the canal and if
the 'transcontinental'li lines work for its
defeat there will likely be trouble.
Certainly senators who 80 suddenly
go over to the opposition will be
marked by suspicion and have some
explaining to do some day.

LIVELY DISCUSSION.
Precipitated Among the Ministers by
Rev. 0rr'S PAPER.

Rev. E. A. Orr of Redwood Falls,
VIII o exchanged pulpits with Pastor
Wi lliams Of the Church of Christ last
Sunday, read d paper before the min
isterial association Friday after
noon. The association met at the
residence of Rev. T. M. Edmands on
Byron street, and there was good
attendance The title Of the paper
was, 'The Preacher the Advance
Agent of the Kingdom of Heaven. "
The idea of the paper was that the
preacher is the agent of the divine
purpose, and that the divine purpose is
the development through Christ of
sinless race dwelling forever on this
earth, transformed and renewed. 1t
was pronounced by all a deeply inter
esting paper. 1t also aroused very
spirited discussion. Nearly all dis
agreed with it at some point. Some
took very decided exception to parts of
the paper. The criticisms were very
frankly offered and very Eildly re-
celved by Mr. Or The paper revealed
the fact that Mr. Orr is a scholar and
a man of wide acquaintance with
theological literature.

1t is said that some of Bryan
friends are planning to run him for
governor of Nebraska on the fusion
ticket. They have an idea that. if he
could be elected governor, it would
improve his chances for another trial
in the presidential race. AS Mr..
Bryan failed TO carry his state last
year as a presidential candidate, and
it went against him this last Novem-
Der, though he tried hard to redeem
it, we fail to see what great chance he
would have of carrying it as a guber-
Material candidate. 1t looks as though
Nebraska had swung back into the
Republican column plenty satisfied
with its experience with the fusion
crowd.

DEATHS ROLL CALL.

Henry Wittrock, whose death the
Free Press chronicled Thursday, was
one of the earliest settlers, having
come to Mankato in 1857. He was en-
gagged in various kinds of business for
many years, and was we'll known and
highly respected. He leaves three
daughters and two sons.
The deceased was born in West
phalia, Germany, eighty-ive years,
ago, and came to America in 1s4S.
He was in st. Charles, Mo-, and other
Missouri points for nine years, and
then came to Mankato
The funeral will occurred from st. Peter
and Paul's Catholic church at nine
O'Clock Monday morning.

A BIG LEAK.

The showing of city finances accord
ing to the report of the city treasurer
for the month of November, a very
full synopsis of which was given in
Monday Evenings Free Press, by
which it is revealed that between four
teen and fifteen thousand dollars has
been spent upon our streets during the
past season, and yet not dollar of it
in a permanent improvement, such as
paving, ought to set our citizens to
thinking in away which will cause
them"tO cooperate most energeticaly
with the city council in its effort to
institute permanent street improve
ments next season. Such drain as
this is altogether too great for any city
the size of Mankato, or even greater to
stand. One-half to two-thirds of that
amount, if spent at all ought to go in
to improvements of permanent ma
ture and so stop this tremendous leak
financially. Far better it will be for
the city to add to it a similar sum for
the next four or FIVE years to be used
toward helping on with these perma-
nent improvements, so that the drain
will then be stopped than to have it
continued for an indefinite period, as
will be the case if nothing is done.
Some property holders seem inclined to
draw back on account of the expense
which will be entailed, but it will be
no more expensive for them in the
long ran, because it will stop much of
this needless expense. AS pointed
out last evening, the forwarding of this
work does not mean that the city's
obligations will be at all increased.
The paying off of the city's floating
debt will not proceed as rapidly, but
there are funds coming in which will
be constantly applied to that purpose
and the debt will keep gradually
melting away, while the leak upon the
streets is being repaired.

FIRM FOUNDATION.
Nothing Can Undermine 1t in Manka-

People are sometimes slow to recog-
nize true merit and they cannot be
blamed for so many in the past have
been humbugged. The experience of
hundreds of Mankato residents ex-
pressed publicly through newspapers
and other sources places Dosn's Kid
ney Pills on a firm foundation.
Mr.. A. c. Cedar, shoemaker of 6O4
North Front street says: ~ think for
a year steadily had most depressing
backache. 1t was a dull, nagging,
aching accompanied at times by sharp
twinges through the small of my back
when making any sudden movem ent

it would wear off in time, but it did
not. Reading about Doan's Kidney

At the Fat Stock show in Chicago,
those identified with the cattle inter
ests were advised to write their sena-
tors and representatives, urging them
to vote against the Circuit bill, which
simply puts oleomargsriue upon its

it would be good thing for dairymen
to follow this advice and write their
representatives and senators to vote for
the bill. Let them know that you are

VALUABLE, ACQUISITION.
Two Finely Bred Colts Purchased BY
Mankat0 Citizens.

Two standard bred weanling colts
arrived in Mankato Sunday night over
the G. 81: N. w. railroad from Maple
Lawn farm. sDelavan, Ill. They are
the property of Thos. 81. Foley and
Frank Mahowald, two popular black
smiths of this CITY. These two colts
are perhaps the best bred pair ever
shipped into this section. In color
they are both dark bays, and indi-
vidually they are unsurpassed. being
typical specimens of the American
trotter.
cdr Driver" owned by Mr.: Foley,
is grandly bred, being sired by
Espresso, a three-quarter brother of
Expressive 3d. 1879, out of Advertiser,
:1515, one of the best sons of Elec-
tioneer, the greatest sire of extreme
speed the world has ever seen. His
dam is by Anteo, 2:161s; second
dam by Baron Wilkes, 2:1S; third
dam, Stieneth, by Steinway, 2:254 +;
fourth dam by Edwin Forrest fifth
dam by Mambrino chief and sixth
dam by Grey Eagle Thoroughbred,
one of the greatest running race
horses of his time. The above breed
ing cannot very we'll be improved upon
and judging by his looks and action
he should be very fast.
"Minneopa, owned by Mr.. Ma
howald, is finely turned FLY, sired
by Parole, 2 18, the sire Of three with
records below 90 Parole is by
Patron, 2 IA, the grandsire of Alix,
2 :034. the champion trotter of her
time Patron is by Pancoast, 2 .214.
The dam of Minneopa is by son of
Mambrino Russell. second dam by
Alta Her third, fourth and fifth dams
are equally as we'll bred.
These two youngsters are valuable
acquisition to the horse interests of
southern Minnesota, and as the pros
poets for the American trotter never
looked brighter, both from a racing
and breeding standpoint, the two colts
which have just arrived should prove
to be paying investment to the
owners as we'll as benefit to the horse
breeders of this section.
