REV. EDMANDS RESIGNS.
The Congregational Church Holds Its
Annual MEETING.

At the annual meeting of the Con-
church Thursday night, Rev.
T. M. Edmands rendered his resignation
as pastor, and after considering it for
two hours, the church voted to accept
it, with feelings of regret. Only kind
words were spoken of Mr.. Edmands,
who has labored hard and earnestly
for the upbuilding of the church dur
ing the five years that he has. been it's
pastor. The resignation, which is to
take effect in March, did not come
wholly as surprise. Rev. Edmands
will carry with him the best wishes
of all in Mankato, to whatever field he
goes. Steps toward getting another
pastor will be taken later.
Prof. Frost was elected trustee for
five years by the church society, Miss
Alice Thomas was chosen clerk,
and Attorney W. W. Smith was elected
treasurer to succeed Geo. T. Barr,
who is to remove from the city. A
vote of thanks was cordially extended
to Mr.. Barr for his labors in the
church.
At the meeting of the church, all
of the old officers were reelected. The
reports of the various departments in
dictated progress during the year.

WILL DECLINE REELECTION,
Mr.. John Klein Will Retire From the
Directorate of First Natl Bank.

Mr.. John Klein, who for the past
nineteen years has been associated
with the First national bank of this
city as a director, has given notice
that he will decline reelection. This
step is taken by Mr.. Klein because he
wants to relieve himself of all the
business cares possible, and as he will
be absent for the next four month";. he
feels that it will be much better for
the bank to elect some one in his
place who can give personal attention
to the duties.of the position.
Mr.. Klein has earned the rest he
seeks. He has been faithful officer of
the bank, has seen it through the hard
times, and leaves it in the most pros
porous condition in it's history. His
friends in the bank dislike very much
to have him retire, but they appreciate
that his reasons are such as to leave no
good grounds for urging him against
his personal wishes, and as sequence
they will gracefully yield.
Mr.. Klein has reached that period
in life when he feels it important to
unload business cares. He has, by
strict and constant attention to bust
ness, accumulated nice competency,
and he shows good judgment in deter
mining to get as much enjoyment out
of the years left him as he possibly
can, without being burdened with
business cares.

High Prices Offered for Fowls Ex-
hibited at Poultry Show.

The attendance at the poultry show
has been very good thus far. Satur-
day was the last day The sparring
bouts between several of the game
fowls Thursday evening interested the
crowd. This feature was repeated Friday
tonight. A number of sales have been
made by the local poultry fsnciers at
good prices, and they are well satisfied
with the results.

judge, Is newspaper man, but has
been a chicken fancier for twenty

fowls for different breeders, and has

was refused. He states that the ex-
hibitors in this poultry show have as
good birds as can be found in the

received. He has fowl for which he

MAPLETON

From the Enterprise:
The year just closed was very for
tunate one for Mapleton as far as fires
were concerned there being but one
loss, the old Jail. We hope that the
coming year will be no harder on US.
Dr. Bishop on Monday removed sew
eral pieces or bone from the toe of
Fred Hanka who few weeks ago
nearly severed his big toe with an
axe. The doctor deemed it advisable
to remove the toe entirely, but at the
request of the party interested simply
removed the pieces of bone which were
causing pain.
The Grapeland telephone line is now
connected up with the local exchange
and is working IN line shape. This
leaves the Sterling line as the only one
not connecting and all hope that the
directors of that company will consent
to connections in the near future.

DULUTH NORMAL PLANS.

President Bohannon of the Duluth
normal school and State Superinten-
dent Olsen, secretary of the normal
board, will meet shortly to consider
the advisability of opening the Du-
luth institution March and continu-
ing untilDec. 1. President Bohannen
is not altogether in favor of the plan,
fearing that it's adoption would mean
a crowded condition during the sum-
mer months when pupils from other
schools, anxious to complete their
course as speedily as possible might be
expected to tax the schools facilities
to the utmost, leaving it comparatively
desert ed during the regular season.

UNION DEPOT.
Great Western and Milwaukee
to Build One.
West Side Of Jackson Street Said to
Have Been Decided Upon as the
Location.

Il is reported in railroad circles
that the Chicago Great Western and
Milwaukee roads will unite in con-
structing joint passenger depot in
Mankato this year, and that the locs-
ton decided upon is the foot Of Jack
SON street, back of the Glass Block,
where Dougherty Bros blacksmith
shop and adjoining vacant buildings
now are. The location would be the
most satisfactory one that could be
chosen for the great majority of the
travelling public of this city, and
would insure business that would
cut into the Omaha and North Western
roads.
AS corroborating the reported locs-
tion of the depot on Jackson street, it
is known that the Great Western road
has taken no steps toward acquiring
the ground owned by the Laird Norton
Lumber Co., which would hardly be
needed if the depot was located on the
half block north. Iho land that has
been acquired will permit the tracks
to run by the depot on both sides.
It is understood that the depot will
be costly one, of handsome design,
with all modern improvements, such
as steam heat, electric lights and sewer
connections. 1t will be credit to the
two roads that will combine in build
ing it.
Agent Barr, when asked about the
report, said that he had no informa-
ton on the subject. but had heard the
report. He is well satisfied with the
reported location, which could scarcely
be better.

A GOOD YEAR.
Prosperity Has Attended the Citizens
Fire Association the Past Year.


Fire Association the Past Year.
The directors of the Citizens Fire As
ISOLATION held a..meetingThursday night
to take account of stock" as it were
for the year 1901. It developed that
every fire loss had been paid to date.
and the association enters upon the
New Year without a dollar of indebt-
edness.
Since the organization of this associa-
tion in Mankato it has never been able
to make the splendid showing that the
year just closed presents. 1t has, how
ever, never failed to pay every just
claim in full and on or before it was
due. It has been powerfully potent
factor in equalizing FIRE insurance rates
in the territory. Of Minnesota, and the
general public owes the association
more than it really knows.
The directors number some of the
strongest business men in Mankato,
and while their services have been
given to the policy holders practically
without cost, their interest and. care
in all matters of business pertaining to
the association have been as deep as
though they were drawing a magnifi-
cent salary. Secretary Perrin and his
able assistants have all contributed
largely to the success recorded, and
Manksto ought to feel proud of having
in it's midst an institution that has
made such a wonderful growth against
great odds in the fire insurance field.
The outlook for 1902 is most bright,
and we predict the year will witness
as gratifying results as the one that
has just passed into history.

The Free Press the Leader, Only $Ioo a Yea1

O. clock this afternoon, the state at
once rested its case.
Attorney Young said that the de-
Tense would not put in any testimony,
and moved that the defendants be dis
missed on the ground that--the state
had failed to sustain case against
either of them, or onsr evidence to
show that they were in any way con-
nected with the crime. charged in the
complaint.
Attorney Pau said that the state
was willing to submit the case to the
court without argument.
The court:
/ have followed the testimony of
this case very closely, and have given
it all the attention that I am capable
of doing. I have seen and tried a
number of cases other than this with
some peculiar testimony, situations,
foundations, etc., but do believe that
never saw testimony of the class of
this and of the magnitude and with
that peculiar class of testimony offered
before the court yesterday and today.
My disposition is, and I believe that
it is my duty to.see the laws of the
state of Minnesota indicated.
In viewing this testimony of the Pc
culiar kind and class and the DISPOSE
tion, 1 believe that it is not positive
excepting the admissions, and they are
of such peculiar nature that it
throws a screen or cloud over the
whole matter. l do not care to go into
detail at all but believe that there
may have been a crime committed
here, but cannot find evidence here.
The evidence is so very uncertain in
its relation to these defendants that l
believe that there is no evidence to
hold them, and they are now dis
charged and their bondsmen released.

COL. CHASE'S REPLY.
Wishes More Information From the
Mankato-St. Cloud Committee.

@. N. Andrews has receive reply
from Col. Chase to the letter which he
sent the colonel a few days ago, in
forming him of the action of the meet
ing in Minneapolis. The reply merely
asks for more information, and does
not commit the writer as to the pro-
position written him by Mr.. Andrews.
The letter has been forwarded to the
remainder of the committee, and an
answer will be framed in few days
and sent to Col Chase.
The fact that the business men of
Sioux Falls have voted in favor of Col.
Chase's company constructing an cleo
trio line there would indicate that he
stands well in that city.
