RACES WITH DEATH.
Mr.. Jensen Goes to Dying Bedside OF
Sweetheart and Is Married.


After race for life across the
American continent Sunday morning
at daybreak, J. P. Jensen of Freedom,
Mimi, was married at Knoxville,
Tenn, to Miss Ruby Simonds who,
until few months ago, was nurse
in one of the large hospitals in
Chicago.
The wedding solemnized under such
peculiar circumstances, is one Of the
most romantic.
While she was in Chicago few
years ago, the young woman nursed
Jensen thorugh almost fatal illness.
Then her own health failed.
Accompanied by her father, Colonel
b. A. Simonds, lumberman Of the
northwest, she came to Tennessee eli
mate. sa
She had been at Clinton and he,
strength has slowly failed. At last
in her delirium she divulged that sh,
loved Jensen and her father telegraph
ed to him.
Jensen loved the girl, though on &C
count of the difference In their station
he had never made an avowal.
When he received word that sh
was dying, he started at once for Ten
nessee and arrived here just as it seem
ed as if she was breathing her last
Rev. r. Simonds, the woman
brother of Pittsburg, who had beef
called to her side to perform tn
burial service, performed the wedding
rites, and now it looks as If she will

STATE NEWS IN SHORT LINES

Prye and Kida, the two men who
escaped from the county Jail at Aus
tin. were recaptured.
The New Ulm Review calls atten-
tion to case of depravity that exists
near that city. An old lady, ~ years
of age, a county charge, but living
with her son, has been compelled to
work like man for him and recently
she suffered an injury. Instead OF tax
ing her into the house the inhuman
son forced his mother to remain in a
woodshed where she was not properly
cared for.
At st. James on Sept. II, 10 and Is,
the Knights of Pythias lodge will hold
a street fair and carnival. The affair
promises to be one Of great splendor.

TWO MORE TRAINS.
Rumor That the Omaha Will Add to
Its Service.

1t is rumored that two more passen-
ger trains are to be placed on the
Omaha road, to run between the twin
cities and Iowa points. to begin next
Monday. It is said that one of these
will be south bound train, reaching
Mankato somewhere between 9 40 p.
m. and 10 80 p. M, and that the other
will be north bound passenger,
starting from DesMoines and reaching
Mankato at about a. m. or little
later. ....... 81.
Local officials have not been advised
officially of the rumored change. and
are inclined to think that the report
of the running time must be wrong,
even if the new trains are assured.
1t is believed on the outside that if
the Omaha road is thinking of i'm
proving its service it is largely for the
purpose of heading off the Milwaukee
road, which is expected to be running
trains through Mankato into st. Paul
before the first of the year. -a-

Charles R. Davis, prosecuting attor-

the Congressional fight In the third
district. This makes. the fghts..in
that district. more. interesting--than
ever, as Mr.. Davis lives in the. .same
city-withssG. s.s.Ives, who had.pre-
viously announced =. his candidacy.
Messrs. Ives and Davis have never
been running mates in politics and
the present. contest will only tend to
widen the breach that already exists
between the two gentlemen. Both are
strong men in their home county and
the fight will take on the spectacular,
but it is feared that both being in the
race will result in neither one landing
the prize.

LOSES HER MONEY.
Mrs. Lester Duffy Meets With 6
Loss.

Mrs. Lester Duffy, living near In
dian Lake, had the misfortune yes
terday afternoon to lose chatelene
bag attached to her belt, somewhere
on the road between the Matthews hill
and North Front street. She drove
over several of the city streets before
missing it, but thinks she probably
dropped it on Front street. The bag
contained $50 in currency, between 80
and Sc in change, two gold rings and
another ring, and rye check bearing
Mr.. Duffy's name. The finder will
be rewarded by leaving the same at
this Office.
Since the above was put in type, The
Free Press is informed that Mrs.
Duffey's purse was returned to her
last evening by Mr.. Garberg, who
found it on the road and learned the
name of the owner from the rye re-
ceipt. 1t is fortunate that the purse
fell into the hands of an honest man.

DENTS Itinerary SO that the departure
from Minneapolis for Sioux Falls. S.
D., will be late at night, and If he
should go via. Mankato the traiI
would pass through that city about
two O'Clock a. m. This, as you a.
once perceive, renders it impracticabls

Assuming you that were conditions
otherwise, the president would be very
glad indeed to crafty. the people Of

believe me,
Very truly yours,
GEO. B. CORTELYOU, IL
Secretary to the President.

OLD MAN INJURED.
Knocked Down BY Passing Rig on
Front Street.

W. q. Jacques, carpenter for the
Mankato Manufacturing Co., was
badly bruised late yesterday afternoon
by being knocked down by passing
vehicle on Front street. He was cross
ing the street at Cherry at 80 p. M. /.
and stepped aside to get out of the
way of a team, when he got in front
of a horse driven by M. J. Smith.
The shaft struck him in the pack and
knocked him down. Mr.. Smith took
him to his home on Agency hill. he
will be laid up for several days. q
No blame attaches to Mr.. Smith,
as he could not have prevented the
accident. Mr.. jacques is an old gentle
man and has defective eyesight, and
this was the occasion of his misfor-
tune.

GATES KEPT SHUT.
Complaint as to Elm and Rock Street
CROSSINGS,

The night police say that there is a
good deal of complaint in regard to
the way the railway gates at the Elm
and Rock street crossings are handled.
They say that the man in charge
put the gates down at about ten
O'Clock in the evening and leaves
them down all night, preventing
teams form crossing the tracks.
The attention of Col. Johnson is to
be called to the matter, in the hope
that it can be recti6ed. If it is the
general practice to leave these gates
down all night, the railway company
will doubtless see that it Is discon-
tinued.

Selected.
Party Committees Must Hand the
Names to the Council To-
morrow Night.

City Attorney. DALEY has been look
ing up the primary election law, and
finds that the various party commit
tees must make their recommends
tions for judges Of election to the city
council tomorrow night. The recon-
mendations must be made thirty days
before the primary election, which oc-
ours Sept. 10th. The council does not

The Republican city committee
should attend to this tomorrow, as
the judges that act at the primary
election also serve at the November
election. The matter is an important
one, and should not be overlooked.

would not be surprising If he decided
to go into the race.

likely to be a candidate for sheriff
before the Democratic primary cleo
tion, according to report.
Geo. W. Scherer formally announces
his candidacy for county commissioner
in tonight issue, subject to the Re.

RURAL SCHOOL TEACHERS.

{. With considerable glee The Hitch
field Review chronicles the fact that
the supply of teachers for, the rural
schools is not equal to the demand and
remarks that this will have tendency
10 raise the wages of those engaged In
that line OF work The Reviews
conclusion is correct. For several
years past the rural district officers
have had more or less trouble in keep
ing their schools supplied with teach
ers and the lack of pedagogues has
had a tendency to raise salaries. The
cause of the reduced number Of teach
ers is due to the failure Jon the part OF
many of.the applicants for licenses to
teach to pass the examinations. a
higher grade having been established
by the powers. This is certainly not
detriment to the rural schools, al
though the majority of the instruc'
tors in these schools have been we'll uI
