CROP ABOUT SANE AS LAST
YEAR.
That is the General COncPnsuS
OF the Opinions.

Over the eastern portions of
the belt there has been continued
deterioration during the past
week, with slight Improvement
In the western portions on late
cotton, which was greatly bene-
hted by the rains of the week,
but all agree that it will require
late fall to mature the recent
fruirage. The logical deduction
from this is that it is impossible
at this time to make even an ac-
curate approximation Of the yield
that has a good basis in fact.
Guesses as to yield can be made
before the crop is planted in the
spring that may prove to be
nearly correct. Picking made
rapid progress in the Atlantic
States but was delayed in the
central and western districts by
W. weather that stained some
open cotton. Damage by insects
is on the decrease in Texas. The
size of the top crop is as yet IN,
certain, but the indications are
to some top crop in every State
except perhaps Alabama, where
the crop asa whole is the poorest
In many yeara. Frost deferred
until after the middle Of Novem-
Der vii! materially increase the
yielU from the top crop, whereas
all early frost will rum practical
ly ali Of il. One conclusion seems
to be certain at this time that
the crop at it's worst will be near
ly if not quite as large as it was
last ve.t.
in North Carolina cotton con-
tiDues to pen rapidly despite
the cool weather and there is in
dication Of much premature open
ing on account Of rust; many
correspondents report the crop
nearly all open, and from one
half to two-thirds of picked out ;
estimates of yield range from
one-half 10 two-thirds Of an aver.
age crop cool nights have injur-
ed cotton, and conditions other
wise were not conductive to

In South Corolina reports on
cotton, are very full this week
and cover every section of the
State, and they confirm previous
estimates of a comparatively
short crop. 1t appears that the
promising condition near the

Two Children of Commissioners Ellio
Upson Are Injured.

Two young children of County Com
missioner Elliot Epson were injured
in Lake Crystal Monday afternoon,
one of them quite seriously. Mr..
Epson resides out of the village. but
his four children attend school there.
Yesterday afternoon they were about
to start for home when Charles Moses,
a neighbor, came along with a wagon
in which he had been hauling sand.
The wagon had dump boards and side
boards. Shortly after the young folks
had climbed aboard the vehicle rain
commenced falling. One of the
girls arose and as she did so she lost
her balance and fell out of the wagon.
taking a younger sister, Edith, with
her. The wheels of the wagon passed
over the bodies of both, but Edith was
NOT seriously hurt. Her elder sister,
aged eleven years. was very seriously
injured, the wheels passing over her
hip and across her stomach. 1t is
fear ed she is injured internally. Last
night the child was unconscious for
some time and she threw off consider
able blood This morning the at
tending physician was more hopeful
that she would recover.

WILL MEET AT REDWOOD.
Methodist Co inference Concludes Its
LaborS at Rochester.


The Minnesota Methodist conference
assembled at 10 a. m. Monday for
devotional exercises. The first item
of business was the hearing of reports
of the various committees relating to
the benevolent, ethical and spiritual
interest of the church. Rev. Ira @.
Cartwright of Mexico spoke on mis-
sions. A collection of over $40 was
taken for his work.
The treasurer's report showed
80, 600 was given for missions this
year against 81, 300.
Redwood Falls, Mimi, was unan-
imously chosen as the place of holding
the next session of this conference.
Subscriptions amounting to So, 100
were given by members of the confer
ence to the endowment of Hamline
university.
The pulpits of Rochester were cup
piled Sunday, as is customary, by con-
ference delegates. Bishop Edward q.
Andrews preached at the Metropolitan
theatre in the morning. while in the
afternoon DR.. M. g. B. Mason preach
ed at the same place at p. M, the
ordination of elders and deacons fol-
lowing his address.
In the evening there was mission
airy rally at the theatre, the churches
of the city being closed SO that all
could participate in single service.

DICE & MONsON, PROPRIETORs.

Mankato is soon to have' one of the
finest and most completely equipped
grocery houses in the state. 1t will be
conducted by those pioneers in the
trade, Messrs. Dice & Monson, who
are known to be men of energy and
their ability to do business is SO we'll
known that words of praise from The
Free Press would be merely superauous.
1t is of the building now in course
of construction at ITO and 112 South
Front street that this paper would
speak. The structure is to be two
stories with a basement. It is to be
built of grey ST. Louis brick and stone
trimmings 1t will have spacious
ground floor, large and well-lighted.
The inside finishing is to be of the
best and the fixtures will be something
new in Mankato. The shelving will
be of a special design, far different
from that in any of the grocery houses
in this city. The counters will be of
the best make and all will have glass
fronts, as will the display ice cabinets
that have been ordered especially for
The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1902-10-03

the new concern. An innovation will
be inaugurated. All the bulk goods
will be kept in glass cases. These will
be dust and vermin proof and will not
be exposed to the atmosphere.
Another feature of the building will
be the ladies' toilet parlor. The
building will be lighted by arc lights
and heated by steam. The entrance
to the building will be flush with the
sidewalk, thus avoiding step-up,
which is very annoying to many peo-
pie.
A coffee roasting plant will be a
feature. 1t is the purpose of the firm
to roast all the coffee sold and the
plant will be operated by an electric
motor that will also run the coffee
grinder and pulverizer.
1t is expected that the store will be
open to the public about Nov. /.
The above cut shows what the new
building will look like. The building
will certainly be an ornament to the
street.

JEWISH NEW YEAR.
Its Celebration Will Occur Next Thurs
day-Date Is 1868.

The Jewish new year day, Rob
Hohannah, was celebrated by or
thodox and reform Hebrew congrega-
tion yesterday. According TO the
Jewish chronology. the day marks
the beginning of the year 1868.
The orthodox Jews celebrate the
New Year for two days, commence
ing Wednesday evening and continu-
ing the services and ceremonies until
Friday evening. the ancient cere-
monies, as held thousands of years
ago. are followed as closely as posi-
BILE, and the singing in the services is
rendered by a choir of male voices.
Instead of the rabbi conducting the
service, as in the reformed congrega-
tions, the members of the orthodox
congregations take part in the services
and ceremonials which are held to
mark the beginning of new year.
