Many old people are lame,
nearly all are weak.
Worst of all, Is that feeling
of languor, Of inability to act,
of WEAKNESS at trihing exertion.
Nothing will make the old
young again, but Vinol will
prevent 90 out of 100 old people
from feeling so old.
There is no humbug about 1t.
We found out about Vinol, and
tried it every way before we
decided to put it on the market
and guarantee It,. Now we
believe that almost any tired,
discouraged old person who
will take a bottle of Vinol and
use it as directed will feel better
right away.
twill increase their strength,

subject all the time, preferring as he
says to stick to mis- crowd Now he
breaks forth into foolishness then
again he climbs 70 beautiful heights,
and when his hearers have reached the
summit. he lets tnem fall with a
,idiculous thud. He is witty, wise,
earnest and eloquent, marvellous
speaker. There are mona who will
hear him but will go, away feeling
purer and better for having been
there or without dropping a silent
tribute of respect at the feet of the
man who will hold them in spell of
his marvellous intellect. You must not
hear Sam Jones by proxy. but go and
hear him yourself. He is man who
has done more good toward bettering
the world than any other of this CEN
tury. He has delightful voice which
he does not raise above converse
tional tone, yet no line or meaning is
| lost. You can only hear him this
summer by, going to the Waterville
Chautanqua held at Tetonka park, on
the banks of the beautiful lake Te-

ANSWER PUT IN.
Barber Company Replies to
Patterson Suit.
1t is Acting Undar Co ntract With the
city.--Stone Curbing is
Objectionable.

Pau & Pfau, attorneys for the Bar
Der Asphalt Co.. last Saturday served
the answer in the injunction suit COM
menced by L. Patterson and others to
restrain the company from taking up
or moving the curb and gutter and
gravel surface on South Broad street
between Lincoln and Warren street.
The answer recites- the steps taken
by the council and board OF public
works in the paving matter leading ND
to the making of contract with the
defendant to pave and curb and gut
ter and boulevard the street. It saws
that the defendant has entered on the
performance of it's contract and has
placed in the street large amount of
curbing and guttering and has opened
the street for paving and intends to
go ahead under the contract unless re-
strained.
In 1895 and prior thereto, the answer
says, the Omaha track intersected
Broad street diagonally. The taking
up of the track left the street far be-
low grade. In 1898 the plaintiffs and
others petitioned to have that portion
of the street curbed and guttered,
and the city did this, assessing the
cost on the property. The property
owners graveled the street of their on
motion and without the authority of
the council, and paid for it individu-
ally.
! The curbing is not the proper kind,
the answer says, being composed of
limestone exclusively, which is. not
proper material for curbing and gut
tering streets, in that when exposed to
the weather it cracks, splits and will
not stand extremes of heat and cold,
and material portion of such curb
ing is now in bad condition, although
but recently placed as aforesaid.

THEY LEAVE DEMOCRACY.

While the Democratic leaders are
making great blow about the con-
dition of things and how the country
is going to the bow vows under Re-
publican rule, the rank and file of
their party does not seem to take that
view of it. Here in Minnesota quite
a number of changes are being made
from the opposition to the Republi-
cans. The political writer on the
Minneapolis Journal noting this says :
Still they come. Thomas E. Davis
of Marshall, q well-known attorney
and secretary of the seventh district
congressional committee of the DEM
ocrstic party, has declared himself q
Republican. He has also been secre-
tary of the Democratic county com
mittee in Lyon county, and announces
his change in a letter resigning his
position, addressed to his chairman,
M. E. Mathews. Mr.. Davis has been
one of the most active Democrats in
southwestern Minnesota, and was one
of the hardest workers for the candi-
dscy of Mr.. Mathews against Nc
.Cleary two years ago. In his letter he
states that he is in hearty accord with
the policy of Roosevelt and Van SAINT,
and in general with the advanced
position taken by the Republican
party. There is evidently tidal wave
coming, indicated by the accession of
such men as G. A. Fosnes Herman
Hillmond and Thomas E. Davis.
Hundreds of the rank and file are also
being heard from. The seventh dis
trict Democracy is certainly in bad
way.
Similar reports have come from 9TH
er quarters The fact is the stand
taken by President Roosevelt as to the
great combinations is endorsed by the
people. The manner which he has
taken hold of the beef combine and
also proposes to take hold of the coal
combine is most reassuring to them.
He is not out to endanger capital or in
any way interfere with its Legitimate
work but he wants the abuses growing
out of such cooperation of capital
done away with. His view as to the
matter is along constructive, not
destructive lines And this meets the
approval of all we'll thinking people.
Democracy may howl about trusts,
but the practical views of the presi'
dent endorsed by the Republicans will
more readily commend themselves tC
the public at large.

There has been very little popular
interest taken in county politics this
year, for some reason. Other things
have overshadowed it in Mankato,
while the new plan of securing nom
nations may have had something tc
do with it in the country.
1t is understood that all of the pres.
ent county officers will desire another
term, although one or two have no
yet openly said so.
The crop of candidates is not large
the Office of sheriff being the only on'
for which a scramble seems probable
Among the parties whose names hav
been mentioned in connection will
this Office are Sheriff Gerlich, ex
Sheriff Bowen, Ben Williams, W. E
Edwards, Officer Daniels and Clarl
Latin. 1t may be that one or tv
names have been omitted from tn
list, and that one or two on the lis
do not intend to be candidates.

HAS SEEN MUCH.
Alexander Wilson Rounded Up
+. by Officers.
Escaped From Fort Sheridan Two
Months Ago--Crossed the Ocean
as a StoWaWay.

Officer Vogel Friday afternoon
locked up a young fellow to sober off,
During the evening he admitted, that
he had escaped from confinement at
Fort Sheridan, near Chicago. He was
sentenced to eighteen months contine-
ment for disobedience, it being his
third conviction. Gen. Otis remitted
year, and he had served two months
when he pushed his guard over and
ran away. The guard fired couple
of shots at him, but did not hit him.
Two batteries of artillery, mounted,
were ordered out to hunt him down,
but he hid on top of hill where he
could watch their movements without
being seen, He escaped that night.
This was two months ago today. He
wandered from place to place until
May 7th, when he drifted into Man
kato and got job. He gave his name
as Alexander Wilson, and his birth
place Pennsylvania.
Wilson is but twenty-four years old,
vet he has seen more of the world
than most people ever do, according
to his story. He three times crossed
the Atlantic from England to America
as a stowaway. He explained to the
Free Press reporter and policeman
how to do it successfully. He would
90 on board passenger vessel and get
in a life boat and cover himself up
and go to sleep. After the pilot had
been dropped, he would run to the
officer on the bridge and claim that
he was being taken away against his
wishes and demand to be taken back.
AS the ship had gone too far for that.
he would threaten to sue the company
unless his passage was paid In this
way he succeeded once in getting free
passage without work, being furnish
ed with mattress and two blankets,
while some of the crew did not have
mattresses. The other times he was
given light work. He crossed in this
way on the Paris and Bostonian.
Wilson has sailed over a good part
of the world, and is familiar with
the seaport cities of England. He
served in the volunteer service during
the Spanish American war, and was
stationed in Porto Rico. He has been
all over the United State. He states
that he did not intend to tell about
his escape from Fort Sheridan, but
that he does not care as he would
have an easier time there than away.
He will have 60 serve four months
losing ten days earned for good be
havior.
Chief Bowen has informed the au-
thorities of Fort Sheridan of Wilson g
capture.
