GIVEN A PRETTY RECEPTION.
Spirit Lake Speaks Very Highly Of
the Troubad0urs.
From Thursdays Daily.


Spirit Lake has had many happy So
cial gatherings the past few months,
but none more pleasing than the enter
tainment and reception at the opera
house Wednesday evening. Nearly all
the clubs and societies have generously
added to the pleasures of life by enter
tanning on a large scale and in lavish
manner. This inspired the young men
of the community to assume the role of
hosts, and the delightful results of We'd
nesday evenings function must have
proven fully as pleasing to the enter
tainers as it did to their guests. Up
wards of three hundred invitations were
issued, and regrets were received in but
few instances.
"The Troubadours", an orchestra from
Chicago of much merit, assisted by Miss
Emily Louise Murray, gifted reader,
rendered musical and literary program
that has rarely been equaled in Spirit
Lake.
The younger members of the company
fingered to "tip the light fantastic
to the stirring strains from the excellent
orchestra.-Spirit Lake, Ia, Beacon.

FOR RAILROAD MEN.
The Mysterious Stranger Made Ger.
tain Admissions.
From Thursdays Daily

From Thursdays Daily.
The visit of the mysterious stranger
whose mission was to ascertain whether
accommodation for 200 men could be had
in the city for week or ten days,
beginning next week, has caused con-
siderable. discussion, but the generally
accepted reason for the proposed assem-
bling af these men is the one given by
The Free Press last evening, that they
|are to be used by the Great Northern
road in case of strike. To add to the
strength of this belief it is learned that
the stranger, when pressed by several
of those whom he saw in regard to
getting rooms, admitted that they were
wanted for the use of railroad men. He
secured the rates charged by the Saul
raugh and then told Manager Kent that
he would have to consult with the
general manager of the road before he
could engage any rooms at the price
|, asked.
One rumor that gained circulation was
| to the effect that the men were to be
brought to the city by the Barber As.
phalt company to tear up the Broad
street pavement. When several of the
property owners who have been opposed
tc paying for this improvement heard Of
this rumor they are said to have be.
come indignant and threatened to take
legal steps to enjoin the company from
removing the pavement.

NO MONEY IN SIGHT.
vicksburg Memorial Commission i
Named, But Is Minus Cash.

Governor Van SAINT yesterday an
nounced the appointment of Gen. John
B. Sanborn, Former Governor Hubbard
and Gen. c. C. Andrews as members of
the commission provided for by the last
legislature to arrange for the location of
memorial tablets and monuments at
Vicksburg in honor of the Minnesota
soldiers who fell on that battlefield.
As has been previously noted, the leg
islature failed to make any appropria-
ton for the use of the commission in
the prosecution of the work assigned to
it, but the governor considered it desir-
able that there should be commissioners
to make primary arrangements which
may be carried further when there are
funds available.

ABBODD IS@FINED.
He Had Assaulted Laborer on His
Way Home From Work.
From Thursdays Daily

from lnuISudy Ddily.
Charles Abbodd, Syrian, was brought
before the court this forenoon on the
charge of assaulting a fellow country
man, Habbe Izeen. 1t is said that Izeen.
who is employed as section hand on
the Great Western road, was on his way
home from work last evening, when
Abbodd intercepted him and started to
beat him. Izeen had been working all
day shoveling mud out of the savein
six miles from the city, and was now
walking to his home in Tinkcom's addi-
ton. Although tired, he set down his
dinner pail and fought off his assailant
until help arrived.
Abbodd at first pleaded not guilty,
but later changed his plea to guilty and
was fined $40 and costs, which he paid.
He claimed that Izeen had called him a
name. The court administered severe
reprimand to Abbodd, reminding him
that this was the fourth or fifth time
that he had been before the court on a
criminal charge and advising him to
leave the city. He said that he had
within thirty minutes heard Abbodd
threaten in the court room to kill Izeen,
and he did not want to hear any more
such talk, otherwise Izeen would have to
be placed under bonds to keep the peace.
The men are brothers-in- law, and bad
blood is said to exist between them.

drivers who, in darkest and stormiest
night, amid sunshine or blizzard, hot OF
cold, drove his stations with the regu-
larity of clock work? Modestly, faith
fully, honestly, kindly he performed the
arduous duties of the pioneer days. He
deserved a fortune; but, alas! faithful

III his old age he must depend upon
others for his maintenance. The people
of Waseca county owe him a pension and
may it be given him not grudgingly, but
generously and in kindly spirit. He
now resides at GAINESVILLE.

CONFERENCE HELD.
Sewer Committee Meets With 49,
grieveu Property Owners.
From Thursdays Daily.

The committee on sewers of the coun
ell and the city attorney held a meet
ing this afternoon at the board of trade
room with the property owners on North
Broad street who are opposed to
paying their sewer assessment at the
figure assessed. The meeting was for
the purpose of seeing whether some
agreement cannot be reached whereby
the property owners will pay the assess
ment without fight in the courts,
which will be expensive for them and de-
|prive the city of the use of the money.
The contract for the block of sewer
in question was awarded to the lowest
bidder, who later declined to do the work
at the figure within the time limit. 1t
was then awarded to the next lowest
! bidder, who was nearly twice as high as
the lowest bidder.

Former President Strong Of Carleton
College Will Talk Tonight.
Conference Is Well Attended, Much
Interest Being Manifested.
Officers Are Chosen, Papers Read Are
Of Interesting Character.
From Thursdays Daily.

The officers of the Mankato conference
elected yesterday were Rev. Wilbur Fisk
of Freedom moderator, Mr.. j. Z. Rob-
inson of Fairmont scribe, and Rev.
Charles H. Curtis of Worthington regis
trar. The honor given Mr.. Fisk was well
merited, as he has seen twenty eight
years of active service, all of it in the
Mankato conference. By courtesy he will
preside over the joint sessions.
The western conference did not organ
ize until this morning, and elected Rev.
NJ. S. P. Thing of Lake Benton modera-
tor, and Rev. John Hjetland of Tyler
scribe.
This mornings session was chiefly
given up to business. In the Mankato
conference, reports were read from the
several churches. Almost all the churches
are in good condition, and number of
times the reports elected applause. The
report of the home missionary commit
tee, read by the chairman, Mr.. Curtis,
was very inspiring one. The speeches
forward movement in evangelistic work,
The plea was for parochial unselfshness.
As one preacher put it, ga church will
fail which is living only for itself; a
church will prosper which forgets itself
and is living for Others" The brief ad-
dress which followed from DR.. Merrill,
DR.. Herrick and Mr.. Fisher, the state
superintendent, brought the same in
spring challenge.
The meeting this evening will be of
special interest, in view of the recent
discussion of church union. After a
song service at 1880, and an address by
ex-President Strong of Carleton college
or Foreign Missions" Rev. H. X. Pain
ter of Farimont will read a paper on
Comfy, Federation and Union" MIR.
Painter was a member of the preliminary
committee which arranged for the recent
conference at Pittsburg between United
Bretheren, Congregationalists and Pro-
testant Methodists with a view to the
union of the bodies. The seven or eight
ministers of the United Brethren body
residing within the limits of the Mankato
conference have been invited to be pres
ent and most of them have signifed their
intention to do so.
