GIFT OF A PIANO.
Six Gentlemen Unite in Presenting
One to Franklin School.
From Saturdays Daily.

From Saturdays Daily.
The teachers and scholars of the
Franklin school were given most pleas
ant surprise yesterday noon, when 4
fine Whitney piano was taken there and
unloaded. 1t was soon ascertained that
it was gift from L. G. M. Fletcher, B.
Bangerter Jr., Oscar Bierbauer, Geo. Nc
Kinley, James Spellman and T. R. Cough
Ian. The gift is one that is greatly ap-
preciated, and it certainly does credit
to the generosity of the donors. Hardly
anything could have been given to the
building that both teachers and pupils
appreciate more. The need of piano is
shown by the efforts of the teachers and
pupils of the Union school to get piano.
The example furnished by the six gen.
tlemen in the Franklin school district
could well be followed by others in other
parts of the city, so that all the schools
might be supplied.
The teachers of the Franklin school
are Misses Minnie Bangerter, principal
Jennie Fletcher, Edith M. Anderson
Lillian Schmitt, Jennie Madigan, Ida
Tuberg, eFrances Schrodesky and Mabel
Wood. These young ladies called upon
The Free Press yesterday afternoon and
it was plain to be seen that they fully
appreciate the gift, as well as the groad
and liberal feeling that prompted it.

FOR HumANITY's SAKE.
Senator Eberhart Introduces Two
Bills BY Request That Should Pass.

From Saturdays Daily.
Senator Eberhart has introduced two
bills in the legislature, prepared by Coun-
ty Attorney Wilson, which ought to pass
unanimously. One provides that any
horse that is clipped in the winter time
shall be protected from che inclemency
of the weather, when standing, by be-
ing blanketed. 1t is the mpraisworthy
horses clipped in cold weather and then
allow them to stand unprotected in the
street, suffering from the cold. Anybody
who has a kindly feeling toward his
horse will not do this, but it happened in
NIankato as well as other cities last
winter.
The other bill is intended to prevent
another kind of inhumanity practiced
upon horses and other beasts of burden.
1t authorizes police officers and other
officers of the law, when they observe
animals that have been tied in the streets
for more than two consecutive hours,
and that are suffering from the incle-
mency of the weather through lack of
proper protection, to take and place them
in livery OF feed barns or other places,
and the charge for the care of the ami
mails is made a. lien upon the animals.
The officers caring for the animals are
held free from liability, and if the ami
mails are not claimed within five days
they are to be treated as estrays. Rea-
sonable efforts are to be made to find
the owners of the horses before they are
taken in charge of by the officers.
Under the present law, officers can
not care for team unless it has been
suffering for fifteen hours. Such a law
is barbarous. The Mankato police Off
GERS unanimously endorse the proposed
new law, for they have been obliged to
stand by and witness great amount OF
suffering on the part of horses, being
powerless to alleviate their wants. La
the majority of cases the owners are
drinking in the saloons.
The Blue Earth county delegation
should support these bills.
