TWO WINDOWS BROKEN.

Two windows on North Front street
We're broken Sunday night. Between
and ten o'clock pane of glass in the
front of Evan Bros meat market was
broken, and between eleven and twelve
O'Clock a large plate window in the
front of Frank Mettler Bavaria saloon
was broken by blow delivered on one
corner of it. The damage is extern
sive. There is no clue to the party
who wrought the mischief, but the
matter was reported to the police.
Later it has developed that Evan
Bros. windows were broken by cou-
pie of young fellows who were
scuffiiag.
Parties were heard running around
to the rear of the Bavaria saloon as
soon as the window was broken.

BOARD Of TRADE.
S veral RaiIrOsd Matters Considered by
Ii This Morning.

At the board of trade Monday
Geo. Fl. Clark resigned as member
of the board.
Various railroad matters were talked
over to some extent and the Great
Western extension was brought up.
The opinion was expressed that what
ever aid could be extended that road
in getting right of way through the
city should be freely given, and to this
end NJ. B. Haynes offered resolution
to the effect that the committee on
railroads be instructed to cooperate
with the Great Western in getting the
same was adopted. Some doubt was
expressed as to whether it would be
the best thing for the city to have the
railroads crowd 80 near Front street
and the prediction was made that it
would cause the ruin of the street as a
business street. Others thought that
if the city was to grow it would be for
its best interests, and that it would
lead to an enlarged jobbing business
and would cause the section
against the territory wanted to be
given up eventually to wholesale
houses
A letter from Ernest F. Smith,
chairman of the railroad committee of
the Minneapolis Commercial club, re-
ceived by L. Patterson, was read. Mr..
Smith called attention to meeting he
had with President Earling of the Mil
waukee road, and to his effort to have
Mr.. Earling meet a committee from
Minneapolis and Mankato regarding
the Milwaukee extension from this
city, but Mr.. Earling refused to do so
at this time saying the road was not
yet ready for conference. He further
rep orted Mr.. Earling as stating that
the line would be built if it was found
that it would prove a profitable in
vestment. Mr.. Smith further desired
Mankato to go ahead and gather sta
tistics and work up right of way mat
ters in conjunction with Minneapolis
presumably. The sentiment expressed
by the board was against entering iu-
to any contest there may be between
Minneapolis and ST. Paul over the ex-
tension of the road and where it shall
run after it leaves this city.
]. o. Andrews was elected direc-
tor of the board and the same then
adjourned.

GETTING FIGURES.
Property Owners See General
Counsel Lawler.
Chicsgo Great Western Surveyors Go
Over Into North MankatO and
Run Their Lines.

Owners of the property in the two
half blocks between Walnut and
Cherry streets and from Pike street
east to the alley responded to an invi-
tation today to call on General Coun-
sci D. W. LAWYER of the Chicago Great
Western road at W. E. Young's office.
They were there asked to give figures
on the property owned by them, and
which is wanted by the road for depot
and other purposes, as stated by the
Free Press Saturday. They were
given to understand that an answer
given soon would be appreciated, al
though they were not pressed to give
their figures on the spot.
Mr.. LAWYER desires to close the mat
ter up as soon as possible, in order
that the officials of the road may know
on which side of..the river to build the
extension of the road. Prohibitive
prices will send the road across the
river.
The surveyors went to work in
North Mankato Monday morning. Mr..
Morgan secured maps of North Man
kato, Nicollet and Brown CO unties in
surveyors offices, in this city today,
and at once set his men at work feel
ing for a practicable route to New
Ulm on the west side of the river.
= Chief Engineer F. R. Coates return
ed to the city Saturday and remained
over Sunday in consultation with
Messrs. Lawler, Morgan and others.
He left again today. He is taking a
good deal of interest and giving much
personal attention to the prel iminary
moves now being made in order to
get route for western extension
located. He drove out over the pro-
posed routes yesterday, going as far as
the stakes have been driven. He had
nothing to divulge that has not al
ready been published.
The railroad committee of the board
of trade called on Mr.. Lawler at Mr..
Young's office this forenoon and ten
dered it's services in assisting to &C
quire right of way through the city
for the G. G. w. extension. Mr.. Law
Ter thanked the committee for its
offer, and said that at present there is
nothing that the committee can do.
Ifv.its services are needed later, he will
call upon it.
H. P. Christensen started in Monday
morning to secure options on North
Mankato property for the G. G. W.
road. The road will ascertain the ex-
act cost of going through this city and
going through North Mankato, and if
right of way in Mankato costs too
much the extension will be made
through North Mankato if at ALL 1t
will pay a reasonable price for right of
way, but not an unreasonable one

Mr.. Eli Potts is . well known citizen
Of Waverly, Ohio, having been in bust.
ness there for fourteen years. He Is a
veteran Of the Mexican war in which he
served with Company H, Of the Four
teenth Tennessee regiment. At the age
Of rs he bears the respect of all who
know him and the following experience,
related by him, is raised beyond all
doubt by the high character of the mar
rator. He says:
"About seven years ago disease
fastened upon me which, as 1t developed,
proved to be locomotor ataxia. I became
very nervous, could not walk without
having dizzy spells and did not sleep
well. AS the disease advanced I lost
control Of my muscles and could only
walk short distance. could not con.
troll the direction Of my steps and was
always afraid Of falling.
"This continued until the fall of 1897
when there was a breaking down of my
entire system. My stomach was in bad
condition and I suffered greatly with
kidney trouble caused by being thrown
out Of buggy.
"About two years ago saw DR.. VIII
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People adver.
tised in Cincinnati paper. The case
cured was similar to mine and gave
the pills trial. Very soon after 7 be-
gan taking them experienced relief
and, as the improvement continued, I
took the pills regularly. Gradually the
control Of the muscles was restored and
my general health improved. The dizzy
feeling left me and has never returned.
From my own experience I know that
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are great
remedy and am pleased to recommend
them to any one who suffers as I did,"

LANDMARK BURNED
Fire Damages John Cedar's Shoe
Shop.
How it Started is Mys tery.---Firemen
Prevent Adjoining Property
From Taking Fire.

At two o'clock Sunday morning,
Officer Bienapf discovered smoke and
fire emanating from the small one
story frame building at 1876 South
Front street, owned by VIM. Irving
and occupied by John Cedar as shoe
shop. He turned in an alarm, and the
fire department was soon on the scene
and quickly extinguished the blaze.
Adjoining property was not injured in
the least, but the old building was so
badly damaged that it appears to be
beyond repair.
1t is not known how the fire started.
Mr.. Cedar closed the shop and left at
80 p. m. He had had a fire in the
stove during the day, but it was out
in the evening. The fire was too far
along when discovered to tell where it
had commenced, but the rear and mid
die portions are the most burned.
Mr.. Cedar thinks that it started in
the rear, but he is at loss to account
for it.
The insurance carried on the stock,
tools and machinery by Mr.. Cedar was
5000. and this was placed with H. P.
Christensen. Mr.. Cedar estimates his
loss at 5000. The building had little
value, and the loss on it is covered by
insurance. 1t was one of the old land
marks of the city.
Not even the awning on the next
building south, occupied by o. Cd
jard's tailor shop, was scorched. This
is also an old frame building. and it
was fortunate that it did not take fire.
Mr.. Cedar expects to start up again
as soon as he can find a new location.

That is one of the great accomplish

Insurance COMPANY.

Last Saturday Morton Barrows, rep
resenting the Ocean Accident and
Guaranty Corporation, was in the city
and settled with John Pollei, who was
severely injured in the T. R. Cough
Ian quarry about month ago. He
was sent to st. Joseph's hospital, where
it was found necessary to amputate
his left arm. Upon his discharge from
the hospital he was paid $500 in cash,
and it is also understood that.the COM
pany will take care of the hospital and
doctor bills, which will take about $500
more. Mr.. Pollei has a large family
and is not in the best of circumstances
financially, and his many friends will
be pleased to learn of the favorable
settlement made. The company is
anxious to show to the people insured
that it is willing to go even beyond its
obligations and extend aid to the
needy. The Widell and Anderson and
Peterson risks are also insured in the
same company.

HE PREDICTED 1T.
Russell Sage Says That He Knew the
Smash Would Come.

New York, May 10.-Russell Sage,
when asked his opinion of the stock
market, said:
q have been associated intimately
with transactions in Wall street for
half a century and l can say truly
that the last two days have been the
most remarkable l have ever seen.
Fictitious and inflated values have
prevailed and the smash that vas in
evitable has come. | knew it would
come and predicted it. True, thou
sands will go to the wall, BIT that is
only an incident in the fight. 1t was
absolutely unprecedented in the his
tory of the financial world. However,
do not anticipate serious results.
Things have begun to settle and the
general common sense of people will
put things to rights. The prosperity
of the country is too great to permit
of this crash affecting us seriously"

Said to Control the Northern Pacific
Situation.

Said to Control the Northern Pacific
Situation.
New York, May 10.-An individual
who has been party to the conference
relating to the strained conditions in
Wall street this week made state
ments and explanations which give to
the contest in Wall street a different
construction than was generally &C.
eepted down town. He said:
"Kuhn, Loeb & Co. will publish a
notice saying that they will let out
their Northern Pacific shorts at $50.
Positive statement is made that J. P.
Morgan & Co. will notify shorts that
they will be released of short obliga-
lions to Morgan e Co. on the basis of
$50. This will be the penalization.
The shorts will get no stock from the
Morgan company. They will get only
freedom. The Burlington deal will be
known as an accomplished fact. II
has already been accomplished. The
Morgan-Hill interests control the
Northern Pacific stock and the board
of directors has absolute power to
close the Northern Pacifc-Burlington
merger without the consent of two
thirds of Northern Pacific stock. The
old law of the Northern Pacific pre-
scribed that two-thirds of the stock
should assent to such a transaction
as the present deal. This provision,
still printed in the manual and accept
ed as authentic, has misled the oppo-
nents Of Morgan-Hill plans, because
in the reorganization the two-thirds
provision was abolished and the power

was vested solely in the board of d.
rectors. The board had stipulated
that when two-thirds of the Burling-
ton stock had been deposited in a
designated trust company the North
ern Pacific-Bu lington deal should be
thus automatically closed. The stock
has been deposited and the transac-
lion is consGminated."

Mr.. Bryan processes to believe that
the Wall street panic is an evidence of
the inability of the gold standard to
fulfill the prophecies of its advocates.
If this were true, why then did it not
effect the real business of the country,
and not simply the stocks the stock
gamblers WERE interested in, and why
did confidence SO quickly regain itself
when the offer of settlement came
