Nations Natal Day Fittiugiy ceIe-
brated at Old Map'eton.

Independence day was fittingly cele-
brated at Old Mapleton yesterday by a
large .concourse OF people. 1t is not
putting it too strong to say that the
gathering at Cornell's grove was one of
the best that was assembled in Blue Earth
county. The people were hospitable,
patriotic in their sentiments, and the
program carried out was in excellent
taste, rejecting great credit upon those
who prepared it. Patriotic songs were
sung sweetly, the fife and drum corps
added feature to the days doings, DIR.
Bishop made an address of welcome, and
Rev. j. M. McClary of Minneapolis de-
livered an ortation which certainly de-
serves the highest praise. The basket
dinner was enjoyed greatly, and The
Free Press representative who was SO
fortunate as to be on the ground can tes-
tify to the excellent cooking by the
ladies of Old Mapleton and Sterling.
DuTlng the AFTERNOON the crowd VIII
messed a ball game, some horse racing
and other sports. The parade that pre-
coded the days festivities is entitled to
special mention.
One cannot help but have. better and
nobler thoughts of his fellow men after
spending day in the refining atmosphere
of the people who yesterday celebrated
this country's natal day at Old Maple
ton.

BOTH BOYS ARE ALIVE.
Mankato Woman's Sons Were Aboard
the Doomed Ship Norge.

From Tuesdays Daily.
Two young men en- route to Mankato
are among the survivors of the steam
ship Norge that went down $50 miles
off the Scottish mainland. These are
Paul Petersen Hgelset and Ole Petersen
Hgelset, whose mother lives in this city.
Today the mother learned of the disas-
ter to the boat that was to bring her
boys, aged sixteen and eighteen, to this
country, and believing them to be dead,
she became Frustrated with grief. w. G.
Hoerr, president of the National Citi-
zens bank, who is also a steamship
agent, was appealed to, and he telephon-
ed to the johnson agency in Minneap-
oils in order to determine whether the
boys were dead or alive. The glad news
came back that both are among the liv-
ing. Mrs. Hgelset is widow woman
and resides on the st. Peter road. Her
condition was such today as to require
the services of a physician.

TRAVELLING MEN CELEBRATE.
Knights Of Grip Have Merry Time
at SibIey Park.

Travelling men of Mankato, with their
families and friends, a gathering of
about five hundred in all, assembled in
Sibley park yesterday afternoon to
commemorate the nations birthday.
Most of the picnickers drove out to the
park in their own carriages, but large
number assembled in front of the Saul
paugh, where they took the buses that
George Atchison had been engaged to
furnish
Early in the afternoon the athletic

won the first prize in the fifty yard race

Hunt proved herself the f1eetest in the
ladies' race, and Mrs. Wernecke came

Garoutte finished first and second, re-
spectively, in both the wheelbarrow and
the mems race.
A ball game was played between pick
ed mines captained by Parke Garoutte
and F. j. Dickson. The game was very
close, and it was in the ninth inning
that it was won by the Garrouttee team
by the score of 10 to Is. The base run
ming by Carl Brell was feature.
Supper was served in and about the
arbor near the Mound street entrance to
the park. A whole barrel of lemonade

,MANKATO AT LAKE CRYSTAL.
Horses From Driving Club Do Some
Good Work.

Mankatonians were certainly generous
in lending their aid to celebrations of the
Fourth in neighboring towns. The Man
kato Driving club yesterday furnished
the central feature of the patriotic do
ings at Lake Crystal.
All tracks seem to look alike to Man
kato horses. The writer has often list
ened to stories related by old campaign
ers of bushwacking races at the pump
kin shows, but the track at Lake Crys-
tai was indeed the limit. The first turn
up hill, down the back stretch, through
the mud in spots, ditch to jump in the
stretch about a hundred yards from the
finish, and the entire track very rough,
about describes it. But despite all these
drawbacks, the races pulled off there by
the Mankato Driving club were very ex-
citing and also very fast.
o. K, owned by Gates Phillips, pac
ed the fastest mile ever stepped over the
track there. The time was 1:l2. It
was indeed a remarkable performance
and on good road his time would have
been l:0S at the outside. Little Willie
did nearly ay well as he was right up
close to o. K.
Fourteen hundred persons paid admis-
sion to the races and they were a very
enthusiastic crowd. The grand stand
was packed, some venturesome boys even
climbed to the roof, while the sides of
the track were lined with teams and
crowds of people.
The races were called at 2:30 p. m.
7. II. Foley was the starter. Frank
Davis, DR.. R. Dodds of Lake Crystal and
F. A. Fisher of Mankato were the judges
and timers.
The first race was the free-for-all.
The starters were 0. K, Little Willie
and Tetonka. They got off on the Sec
ond score to a struggling start. Te-
tonka made a break early and was out
of it, while O. X. and Little Willie
made pretty race and finished very
little apart in l:l6. The second heat
of this race was corker. o. X. had the
pole and as soon as the word was given,
the fight between the three began, and
was kept up clear around into the stretch
and to the wire, 0. X. winning with Lit
tie Willie right at his wheel in 1:l2
fat. It was announced from the grand
stand that liz was the fastest time
ever made on the local track. 1t was

GERMAN LUTHERANS.
They Do Honor to the Country BY a
Bio Celebration.

Eight hundred at least must have been
present at the picnic held by the German
Lutherans of the city at Sibley park yes
terday. The children and the various or
CARNATIONS of the congregation of the
church paraded down Front street to the
park, where they held a picnic dinner.
Rev. Julius Dysterheft of st. Clair deliv-
cred the Fourth of July grafton in Ger
man, and Attorney A. Fl. Lossow of
Mankato, made similar speech in Eng
lish. Both addresses were heartily ap-
plauded. A good time was enjoyed by
old and young. A splendid concert was
furnished by the New Ulm Concordia
band. Various kinds of out door games
were played.

THE BANKING GRAFT.

The peopl eof Humboldt county have
just discovered the real curves of
Nixon's banking graft. He got into
the legislature and secured the pas
Banks to take care of county deposits.
At first blush it looks as if Nixon,
in the largeness of his heart, was pro-
viding at his own expense, place
where county monies could be deposit
ed and tenderly cared for without ex-
pense to the taxpayers.
Now the people of Humboldt have
discovered that Nixey is loaning them
their own money at one per cent per
month.
Nixon's little game has just been
exposed and the taxpayers in that Sec
ton are up in arms. He will not
carry his own county because of his
exhibition of colossal greed.
Nixon did not go to the Senate
for his constituents but merely to Sc
cure the passage of bill that would
enable the National Bank of Win
nemucca to bleed the very taxpayers
who confided their interests to him
when they sent him to the Legisla-
ture.
If they send him to Washington he
will help pass bill in which all the
National Banks are interester and this
banking bill will fasten the chains
of financial slavery on the people, no,
only of Nevada but of the nited States

THE POOR FARM GRAFT.

In the local columns will be found
some facts and figures relative to the
manner in which the Republican
Board of County Commissioners have
been running the poor FARM The
figures are plain enough for the most
stupid taxpayer to read and read un-
derstandingly
The cost OF maintaining this instit.
ution is increasing yearly despite the
plain warning of the grand jury and
now it costs over $40 per inmate to
run the place. 1t was once down to
less than $24. If it keeps on increas-
ing at this rate it will be rather hard
to tell where the cost bill will land.
The only way to cut down this ex-
pense is to change the Board of Coun-
ty Commissioners Put the Silver COM
missioners on guard and the taxpayers
will soon see the difference.
