JOHN M.
Republican Candidate for County Attorney.
DR. O.. JACOB BERG

DR.. Berg is receiving hundreds of
letters daily showing the result of
his successful treatment. No other
physician in this country receives
as many testimonials and cheerful
compliments. 81 am nearly well,'
II am cured" "Gave up hope before
1 saw you but now ] am WELL" "Ne-
yer believed in medicine until I
took your treatment" These are
some of the written testimonials re-
ceived daily. Many people ask us
whether we can cure cancer. We
can, with our new method, the
X-Ray, which has never been used
in this part of the country before.
All DESTROYS of taking advantage
of this opportunity to be treated by
this method must send their names
to the doctor at the home 6ffice and
if enough names are received, the.
doctor will bring this expensive APP
paratus to this town. With it you
can see the pulsations. of the heart,
the bones of the hands and leg, and
any part of the body. Cancer and
consumption can both be cured by
the right application of the X-Ray.
If you have any disease of any
kind you should be sure to call on
DR.. Berg. If you cannot come,write
him at the office. i.

From the Duluth Evening Herald
May II, 1898: "Saldini illustrated
the religious, patriotic, and pathe-

and tragic passions in fine selec-

of voice as we'll were remarkable
and received much applause. Be-
tween the regular numbers he gave
humorous selections, and these
caught the audience greatly. Many
encores had to be given. Don't

The Virginia and Eveleth foot
ball squads engaged in a heated de-
bate on the Eveleth grounds Sun
day afternoon, many from this city
taking advantage of the pleasant
day to witness the game. The Vir-
ginia boys were weakened to an ex-
tent by the absence of two of their
regular team, and over confidence
also assisted in their defeat by a
score of 16 to Gas given by the
umpire. Alex King, a member of
the Virginia High School team in
1901, was the star player of the
Eveleth team throughout the game.
The Virginia and Hibbing High
school teams toyed with the pigskin
at the Hibbing park on Saturday,
the boys bringing back the scarps
of their western neighbors by a
score of 108 to O. W. were not in
attendance, but the score is evidence
that the boys played some. The
score at the close of the first stood
46 to 0, the Virginians continuing
their. work in the second while their
opponents we're unable to make a
showing. The home boys lack a
coach, but put up a snappy game
nevertheless. With a coach, and a
little Systematic training, the home
team would become formidable
opponent for any team of it's size in
the state.

LAID AT REST.
Remains of 0. o. Pitcher Consigned
to Earth.

The funeral services over the re-
mains of the late o. o. Pitcher,
which were held from the house at
2 80 o'clock Sunday afternoon, we've
attended by large concourse and
were of an impressive nature. Rev.
Geo. H Davis conducted them at the
house, and Mankato lodge No. IL, A.
F. and A. M, had charge at the grave
at Glenwood cemetery.
The active pail bearers were Henry

Soaring; and the honorary pail bearers
were W. F. Jewson, G. A. Chapman,

Barney and W. S. Howe.
Several touching selections were
rendered by a quartet composed of
Misses Menth and Gerlich and Messrs

The floral offerings were numerous
and beautiful, ind eating the high
esteem in which the deceased was held.

sixty members, and the Blue Earth

A ChnnlelPOn'S Bite.

The bite even of the largest chame-
leon does not fetch blood, though the
teeth leave indentations. l often, says
a naturalist, provoke them to bite me
in order to observe their habits, and
only once, when one caught me be-
tween the fingers where the skin is
tender, was l really hurt. On this oc-
casion the thing held on so persistently
and firmly that l could not for some
time free nay finger. At last | was
obliged to call some one to get it off by
forcibly opening its mouth. Even then
it did not pierce the skin. Its teeth are
too fine and regular, but the dotted
triangular impression of the little teeth
was very red and distinct for some
minutes,

RaiIrOading Terms.

Railroading terms in England and
America differ very widely. The Eng
fish would speak Of shuuting a train.
We call it switching. Freight trains
they call goods trains coaches are car
riages, conductors are guards, engi-
neers are drivers, trucks are bOggles
and freight cars are wagons. The
British always say station instead Of
depot, and in that they have the bet
ter of us. Rails they call metals and
tracks permanent ways. They do not
get their tickets at ticket office, but
at booking office, and the smokestack
of the locomotive is to them the chin
ney. A railroad man going from one
country to the other finds that he has
to learn an entirely new set Of phrases
about his business.

DECIDED SUCCESS
Drawing Exhibition of Public
School Pupils.
Excellent Work Being Accomplished
Along This Line.---Iuvenile Opera
Makes a Hit.

The drawing exhibition of the pupils
of the public schools, from the first to
the seventh grades inclusive, at the
high school building, is one that
should be seen by every parent.
1t shows progress along this line
that is remarkable, and reflects the
greatest credit on the teacher of music
and drawing, Miss Fannie Pitcher,
as we'll as the teachers of the grades,
whose interest and cooperation have
assisted in making the work success.
Drawing in the public schools is not
intended to develop artists, but its OBJ
ject is to develop the powers OF OBJ
servation of the pupils, and as prac-
ticed in the Mankato schools is but
one step removed from manual train
ing.
The exhibit fills five rooms in the
high school building and represents
the work of 400 to 500 pupils in 20
rooms. The third of the pupils who
do the best work have been permitted
to enter samples of their work in the
exhibition. Owing to the West Man
kato school being closed, it is the only
one not represented.
It would be difficult matter, if
not impossible, to enter into the de-
tails of this exhibit and do justice to
all, nor does casual glance give an
adequate idea of it. Suffice it to say,
that the exhibit consists of paintings,
drawings, direct and copy nature
work; original designs, wall paper,
church windows, cloth, etc; making
and binding spelling books; braidine
with tissue paper; designing boof
covers and poster work; composition
and the designing and building of dol
houses. The work is all original ex
cept some that is labeled copy.
The drawing and painting is chief,
nature work, the objects taken bein
fruit, flowers, landscapes and posing
There is some very good pen an
charcoal work.
AS stated before, the work is of
high order, and indicates that tn
pupils are receiving much benefit fror
their instruction. 1t is of wild
variety and good in execution, an
cannot help but favorably impres
visitors.

"Boy Blue"

The juvenile opera, ''Boy Blue, "
was presented last evening at the high
school assembly room, before an audi
ence that packed the room. There are
only 1877 seats in the room, but nearly
500 people crowded in.
Miss Fannie Pitcher had charge of
the preparation of this opera and ex-
pended large amount of labor upon
it, and is deserving of much of the
credit for it's successful production.
Owing to the sudden death of her
father, she was obliged to turn the
direction of it over to other hands yes
terdsy, and it was presented under
the direction of Miss Belle Beatty,
who was equal to the occasion, having
previously assisted Miss Pitcher.
The entertainment was a decided
success, and was received enthusiast
tically. All taking part acquitted
themselves admirably.

Raised.
Efforts Will be Made by the Commit
tees to Wipe Out This Figure
Next Week.

The subscription list for the stock
of the street railway company con-
tinues to grow. The last two days
have seen several additions, and the
committees are cheerful. The SUBJ
scriptions not hitherto published by
the Free Press are the following
W. A. Funk $500, NJ. Burg 5000, D. FL.

500. Total, 81, 700. Grand total
$27, 100 This includes lots that have
been subscribed and that will be turn
ed into cash and applied on stock sub,
criptions.
This leaves only 81, 900 to be raised
in order to secure a street railway
line. Mankato surely is not going to
let the line go by merely for the lack
uf such bagatelle. When the Man
kato people who are spending the
winter elsewhere are heard from, this
sum will probably be substantially
reduced.

1t is likely that as soon as the peopl

The announcement which appears
in our local columns that Prof. c. F.
Koehler is to leave the normal school
here, to accept the presidency of the
normal school at Aberdeen, 8. D., will
be received with regret by our citi-

Koehler has served the school faith
fully and we'll during the ten years he
has been a member of the faculty, and
has added strength and character to
the school. But while all friends of
the school will regret his departure,
they will rejoice in his good fortune,
and wish him the most unbounded
success in his new field of labor. The
Aberdeen school has secured the SER
