1t is said there are indications in
some of the mining districts that the
operators intend to resume work in
their mines. Quite number of oper-
ators are said to have made statements
to the effect that they have men
enough engaged to man several of the
colleries but they will not admit that
they intend to commence therein this
week, but everything is said to indi-
cate that they so intend. The strikers,
as matter of course, are cognjzant of
all that is doing at the different colleries
and intend that their pickets shall see
the new men before they go to work
and persuade them not to got to work.
Il is said that a great many men
secured at several of the colleries have
already been won over and will not go
to work. Still the operators refuse to
arbitrate, declaring that they have
nothing to arbitrate. If an attempt is
made to operate the colleries, more or
less trouble, if not bloodshed, is likely
to follow.

A TEST OF PROSPERITY.

One of the most marked indications
of the healthy progress in the real
elements of nations prosperity is
the notable increase In the consump-
ton per capita of the products of the
farm and the manufactures of the
country, as, for example, eggs, extra
quality of butter, meats, fine -four,
sugar and fine fabrics of clothing, etc.
The American market is the best in
the world in this respect, because the
average American is liberal consum-
er and a good liver. And enjoy
Golden Grain..Belt" beer, because it
is pure, delicious and nourishing. 1t

1t seems to be the general opinion
of those who visited our city last
week, that Mankato set pace in
the semi-centennlal celebration of its
founding that will be hard for other
cities in the state, which may wish to
celebrate such period of their exis-
tence, to pass. That the celebration
was a success in every respect is a
matter for congratulation by all our
citizens, but we should be most sorry
if this fact, connected with the extern
sive manner in which it was carried
on, shall in any way discourage
others from attempting like celebra-
ton. The mi-centennial celebration
of the starting of Minnesota towns
during the next few years, would be a
very pleasant feature, and will Also
add much to the material for the
future historian of the state.

MRS. TANKE'S TRIAL.
Selection of a Jury Will be Begun
Friday.

Henderson, Mimi, July Court
convened at Henderson Saturday.
Frank Tanke was brought into court
and States Attorney Davis immedi-
ately asked the court to call the case
for sentence. Attorney Eckstein. for
the defense, requested that sentence be
deferred. He said the defense desired
to file affdavits for a new trial on
statutory grounds, including newly
discovered evidence. The defense
also wanted time to prepare a bill of
exceptions.
The attorney said that Immediately
after the jury had given it's verdict in
the case of Frank Tanke, he had been
called to the Jail and that Mrs. Tanke
had Informed him of state of affairs
never heard of before. On the follow
ing Monday she made a statement
which was at variance with the evil
dence adduced at the trial She had
told where to find the revolver, watch

certain from her description of the
location they would be able to locate
the lost articles. She had been taken
out to the farm and the defense had
worked diligently but to no purpose
The digging was still in progress and
would be continued.
States Attorney Davis insisted
that sentence be passed at once. The
court then announced that the motion
for deferring sentence would be taken
under advisement until July IL.
Mrs. Amelia Tanke was brought
into court and the state moved her
case for trial. The defense signified
it's readiness and the court ordered
special venire for talesmen returnable

NOT SATISFACTORY.
Falk Company Wants Too Much from
the City.

W. D. Willard has replied to the
Falk Co. that it's proposition cannot
be considered and asking it to send a
representative on to negotiate terms
with the Mankato-St. Peter company.
No reply has yet been received.
The Fslk Co. s letter outlining what
it would require of the city, reference
to which was made by the Free Press
Saturday, is not fully understood and
the terms may not be as hard as at
first thought The amount of cash
bonus required is left blank, and the
reference to pending litigation is not
clear.
1t was not expected that such terms
would be required after what the rep
resentatives of the Falk Co. had given
the local people to understand.

A MYSTERIOUS
APPEARANCE
IN THE QUIET LITTLE VILLAGE OF
WILSEY, KANSAS.
A Strange Event with a More Wonderful

of One Woman.

A Strange Event with a More Wonderful
Sequel-Its Effect on the After-life
of One Woman.
About six years ago a stranger, 6
woman, came to the little village OF
Wilsey, Kansas, to live. This was the
important link in chain Of events which
set the whole town wondering. Mrs
Rachael A. Gardner, the person whose
life was most affected by it, tells the
story.
sit was very strange" she says. 81
never could tell what caused it and
neither could anybody else. For long
time had bad spells with my stomach.
The pain would commence about my
heart and was so deadly agonizing that
I would have to scream aloud. Some.
times it would last several hours and ]
would have to take laudanum to stop it.
Besides this I had a headache almost
constantly, day and night, that nearly
crazed me and hemorrhages caused by
the change of life, so you see I suffered
great deal. And when I think of the
agony it still makes me shudder.
doctors, did you say? Their medi.
cine made me sicker. 1 couldn't take it
and kept growing worse until this lady
came to our village. She advised me to
take DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People and I did. only took half q

after taking the rest, was wholly con.
verified to this wonderful medicine. II
did me more good than had ever hoped
for. kept on with the pills and now
recommend them to all who suffer-"
The pills which cured Mrs. Gardner
have accomplished as wonderful results
in hundreds and hundreds of other cases
just as severe. They are an unfailing
specific for locomotor ataxia, partial
paralysis, st. Vitus' dance, sciatica, neu-
ralgia, rheumatism, nervous headache,
after-effects of the grip, palpitation of

1t is now said that John Lind will
run for congress in the Minneapolis
district. There is we'll grounded
suspicion that one of the chief reasons
for Mr.. Lind's locating in Minneapo-
lis, was an ambition to get back into
the legislative field again. But it is
hardly probable that in the present
condition of affairs in this country,
Minneapolis will take a back seat in
influence in the nations legislative
council, by electing man opposed to
the administration and the important
policies approved by the nation.

BARN DESTROYED.
Large Structure in Decoria Scattered
About.

Saturday nights storm wrought
some of it's havoc on the farm in
Decoria township, eight miles south
of Mankato, owned by Mr.. Trainer
of Mapleton, and occupied by Guy
Hass. The large barn was fattened
out, and the debris scattered over the
yard and the neighbors' fields. The
basement walls protected a team of
horses, but another horse and COW
were pinned down all night under the
ruins and the horse will probably die
of its injuries.
As fuller reports are received, it is
apparent that the storm was one of
the most destructive that ever visited
Blue Earth county.

Mankato is recovering from the
celebration of its fiftieth birthday and
all who visited the city during the
festivities are convinced that it is the
liveliest town of it's age in the coun-

Yes, you're right, but we are ready
for another one. What's more we've
got plenty of fireworks left to keep the
boys lively for another week. Had
the sky water stayed above another
day, the week of festivities would have
been rounded out with golden sparkles.
