NOW FOR THE LAST PULL.

AS will be seen in our local columns,
the parties who are to finance the
street railway project have signed the
contract, and the matter is now AN
assured fact, providing that Manksto
has the required $50. 900 deposited in
the banks here by the Goth of this
month. So it is now up to Mankato
to fulfill the agreement as to the
subscriptions made. Every cent OF
this should be in the bank long before
next Saturday night. The Free Pres
would again urge that all subscrip-
lions for stock be prepared to fulfill
their part of the contract as soon as
the committee calls on them. The
committee will meet Monday morning
and Immediately start out upon the
work of collecting the subscriptions
Don't let Mankato fall down in the
matter now, and let everybody help thu
committee along in its work.

WANTS LIMIT FIXED.
Semi Centennial Celebration Com
mjttee will Await Events.

The committee Of arrangements for
the city's semi-centennial celebration
met for an hour Friday evening with
Recorder Williams, trying to find out
whether he would sign the $500 order
allowed by the council Thursday
night. Mr.. Williams said that he had
no objection to signing the order, but
wanted to know where the expendi-
lures of the city for this purpose were
to stop. When the limit was fixed,
he would sign.
Some fifteen persons attended the
adjourned meeting from Tuesday
night and the committee reported or
| its conference. This was discussed fol
an hour, without result, other thar
the adoption of the following resolu
ton, which was presented by thu
committee:

The twin city schools have fixed
their date for opening, the Monday
following the week of the state fair.
This gives the pupils and teachers a
chance to visit the great fair, which
is really great educational institu-
ton in itself. The cities around the
state could we'll follow their example,
as it would give the teachers and
many of the pupils opportunity to
visit the fair, which would be denied
them if schools were to open the same
week. The state fair is from Sept.
1st to 9Th. This would allow the
schools too open the Sth, which would
not be late We commend this view
to our local school board as doubtless
good many of the teachers as we'll al
pupils in the schools here would visit
the fair if the schools did not oper
until the week following. In th'
broadening of the mind the visit t.
the fair would be worth..more than thu
whole weeks schooling.

WAS ADJUDGED DEAD.
Anew Ulm Woman Returns After her
Estate is Administered.

A dispatch to Fridays Pioneer Press
from New UIm says: Mrs. Ocie Ell
Wood, nee Chute, returned today
from HAYWARD, Wis, after having
been adjudged dead and her estate
administered more than a year ago.
Mrs. Wood is the daughter of Thos.
E. Chute, who was killed August 81,
1899. His estate was probated and
divided between the three children
known to the living. What would
have gone to Mrs. Wood was given to
the others.
Some twenty-five years ago Ella
Chute went to California under cir
cumstances that caused much talk at
the time. Her sister obtained a
divorce from her husband, who also
had gone to California, and the rela'
tives of the girl gave her up for dead.
Today she appeared with claim
for her share of her fathers estate.
Three years ago Thomas Chute wal
found under the feet Of horse in thu
barn on his place dead with circums
tances that indicated that he had beer
murdered. His hired man was twice
arrested but both times jury failee

Amboy Herald: Nankato is out
early in her announcement of semi
centennial celebration to open on the
3Oth day of June and close July 9th.
There is not a-citizen in Blue Earth
county but what will.take an interest
in this event. Aside from the regular
program for the celebration there is to
be an Elks' carnival similar to the one
held there last summer. This will
furnish amusement for the crowds
that are expected to attend. In view
of the general interest that will be
taken in this interesting event, 1t Is
doubtful if there will be any Fourth
of July celebrations held in any OF
the villages of the county. 1t is
likely, however, that there will be
neighborhood gatherings with the
usual festivities.

Names to 1t.
The Subscriptions to the Amount OF
$4,000 Must be Collected

Mankato's street railway line is
now assured. The contract calling for
its construction has been signed by

II is the close INTERPOLATION of the
coal companies and the railroads
which makes it possible. The same
is true of the Standard Oil Company.
The tariff has nothing to do with these
great combines, because there is no
duty ON coal or OIL Nor does 1t with
the beef combine. for If the tariff on
cattle were removed there Is not an
outside supply equal to the demand,
and If there we're, it Is probable 1t
could be manipulated as easily as the
home supply.
So with other great trusts. Take the
great steel corporation for instance,
| it is very doubtful if the enactment OF
the Babcock bill, which would largely
reduce, and in many instances removes
the tariff altogether, would effect II
to any great degree, because 1t is 81
strong It is of itself protective. 81
with the lumber combine. It is doubt
full whether the removal Of the dut!
would effect the price very much, q
the big firms seem to control matter
anyway. But in that case, as witt
items in the steel schedule, the dut
is one that is not needed any longe
for protective purposes, and in lin
with the Republican policy should b
removed.
1t has been held by those who haV
studied the trust problem closely, tha
our quick means of communication
and not the tariff, is the cause of To
combines, and this has bee
thoroughly demonstrated in the case
the coal and the oil combines an
facts which have come out in the il
quiries made by the order of Presidel
! Roosevelt have corroborated this view
The smashing of the tariff would nj
3 correct the evils arising from con
i bines, only as it would succeed
killing industrial movements through
s out the country. 1t is only by folloS
y ing the presidents idea of legislati'
: for the control and regulation of Il
9 roads and the big corporations tn
will give relief in that line.

AMERICAN STORE IN AFRICA
i Established by New York Firm and
had a Great Bargain Sale on
Opening Day.

A New York firm owned, for years,
two barks which piled in the Liberian
trade, visiting also towns of impor-
lance elsewhere along the coasts.
These vessels were we'll known in this
country among all who were interested
in the emigration of American negroes
to Liberia, states the New York Sun.
The largest number of emigrants
from the.southern states who removed
to the land of their fathers sailed on
these vessels, each of which had a
comfortable little cabin and good &C
comodations for 40 or 30 passengers.
The New York firm discontinued this
eervice for some years, as the profits
had considerably diminished, but a
while ago it resumed the trade, and
now sends merchandise to traders of
Sierra Leone and Liberia, taking in
exchange the coffee, palm oil and
other products of those countries, but
has also opened a store at Monrovia,
the capital of Liberia.
Two young men are in charge OF
this store, which is filed from top tc
bottom with American goods of al
sorts required by the Liberian retail
trade. 1t is distinctively American
store, where nearly everything can bt
bought, from a dress pattern to kee
of nails.
The Liberians like American goods
and our products are proving tina
Q they can hold their own in competi
tion with any European products il

LECTURE ON FORESTRY.
Arthur Schaub's Literary Effort j:
Complimented.

The Catholic Forester of May list,
published at Milwaukee, Wis, con-
tains the following editorial:
A lecture on "Catholic Forestry
was published about q year ago by
Brother Arthur Schaub, Deputy High
Chief Ranger, of st. Joseph Court
No. 50, Mankato, MINI. In the intro
ductory, brother Schaub explains that
the prejudices which in many places
exist against the Catholic Order Of
Foresters are largely due to ignorance,
and that in most cases it requires but
plain statement of facts and an ex-
PLANTATION of the principles Of the order
| to relieve the minds Of those who are
prejudiced against it. For that reason
the lecture was prepared and issued in
printed form. It treats of fraternal
and benevolent societies in general,
and of the Catholic order of Foresters
in particular. 1t touches upon the
principles of friendship, unity, and
ltrue Christian charity, discusses the
government, the membership, and the
religious features of the organization
points out the benefits of the reserve
fund, mentions the ordinary objec
tions urged against the order, show
the connection between the Catholi
church and the order, and ends witt
, an appeal to the young men to becom
I members.
Many copies of this address hav
. been circulated to good advantage
f mostly in the jurisdiction of Mime
