LONG ILLNESS ENDED.
Mrs. w. T. Mills Passed Away This
Morning.
From THURSDAYS Daily.

From Thursdays Daily.
Mrs. Emma j. Mills died at st. JOS
eph's hospital at one o'clock this morn
ing, where since July 18th last she had
been receiving treatment for Bright's
disease. She had been a sufferer from
the disease for the past five years, and
to a greater degree during the past two
years. Medical skill was unavailing to
do more than prolong her life.
Mrs. Mills was daughter of the late
A. C. Wood, and was fifty -four years of
age. She was the wife of the late w.
7. Mills, whose death occurred four
years ago. Three daughters survive her,
Misses Nellie, Flora and May Mills, and
also one step daughter, Mrs. Beecher
Ward of Fairmont She also leaves a
sister, Mrs. A. C. Barney of this city.
Mrs. Mills was born in Vermont,
where the first five years of her life
were spent. With her parents, she
went to st. Laurence county, New York,
and lived there until she was sixteen
years old, when she went with her faith
er cher mother having died) to Chaska,
MINI. There she attended the Moravian
school, and later spent some time at
Shakopee and Jordan, finally locating at
Garden City, where she spent about FIVE
years. The past thirtytwo years We're
spent in Mankato. In February, 1876,
she was united in marriage with Mr..
Mills. The ceremony was performed
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. A. c. Bar
ney, l26 Clark street, and in the same
house the funeral services will be held.
The deceased was very quiet in her
tastes, and thought more of her own
home than of social pleasures. She was
a member of st. Johns Episcopal
church, and had many friends, who will
greatly regret her death. Yet death is
a relief to one who suffered as she did
The daughters, now left to some extent
alone in the world, will have the SYM
pathy of all.
The funeral services will occur from
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Barney at
$3.50 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, Rev.
George H. Davis conducting them. The
interment will be had at Glenwood ceme-
terry.
The following pail bearers have been
chosen: Benjamin Taylor, Emil Schoy
en-, c. A. Chapman, A. R. Pau, d. G..
Willard and John G. Graham.

Most Complete Outside the Twins

Last week The Mankato Free Press
seems to have installed some new ma
chinery and to have put itself on basis
which Congressman McCleary's new pa
per will have hard work in reaching
without the expenditure of a large
amount of money before the enterprise
is demonstrated success. The Free
Press has Duplex press and linotype
machine, which cost about $4,000, and
together with other machinery and
equipment, make the most complete
printing house outside the Twin Cities
in the state.-Windom Reporter.

COMMITTED TO ST. PETER.
Mapieton Young Man Thinks He Is
hYpnotized.

Frank Scriven of Mapleton, single
man thirty years old, was brought to
the city last evening by DR.. Ira Bish-
OPP of that place to be examined as to
his sanity. His examination was had at
seven o'clock last evening, and he was or
dered committed to the st. Peter hospi-
tai. He was quiet until his examination
was under way, and then began to
get restless. He gave no trouble until
he had been taken to the Jail for safe
keeping, and then he broke loose. 1t took
three or four men to hold him. He was
taken to ST. Peter this morning.
Scriven's trouble first began to develop
a month ago, and he has been getting
steadily worse. He has Authorizations
that he is being hypnotized, etc.

dollar, if it only be for a years
subscription, we will take the
liberty to inform you that this pa
per received a check from the Folk
headquarters not only for one dol
lar, but for ten dollars, and we
could not be so cruel as to think
for a moment that the Wndicator
would be the chosen one of so
many papers. We did not publish
the press clippings and the check
was duly returned. Many did take
advantage of the Folk advertising
bureau however, and if we mistake
not the Messenger was among the
number. If you did not get a
similar check you deserved it for
the amount of your space be-
slowed upon the getleman. In
fact we began to grow uneasy lest
Uncle Sam would swoop down
upon you for more postage on the
grounds that your periodical was

| HEARTILY commend to those
pure-souled Folk Democrats OF
Stoddard and Howard counties
who refused to endorse the State
administration, the following from
the State Tribune. Every word of
the paragraph is true, and the most
rabid Folkite cannot gainsay a
single declaration therein made:
The national government lacks
nearly eighty millions of having
enough money to meet the appro-
priations of Congress, and yet Re-
publican newspapers are wont at
stated intervals to dilate upon the
wonderful balance sheet of the ma
ton. Things are different in Mis-
souri,. All the appropriations of
Legislature are being met, the state
has been paid out of debt, the tax
rate is the lowest in the Union, the
state institutions have been laden
with money, and there are three
and one-quarter millions in the
treasury, the last day of April,
1904. This is perhaps the largest
balance ever on hand in the state
treasury. These facts are sug-
gestive. How will the people of
Missouri reconcile this array of
fact with that pipe dream and fic-
ton about bad government, corrupt
officials and a monstrous ring?
True, there have been corrupt men
at Jefferson City, but they belong
only to the legislative branch.
Their hands are not in the treasury.

the state are responsible for their

THE ''political pull" says the
Commoner, is responsible for many
crimes, but none of greater mag
nitude than the one comprehended
in the accident to the battleship
Iowa. Two of the Iowa's big guns
blew off their muzzles, carrying
death and destruction in their wake.
The forgings of the gun were de-
fective. These forgings were made
by the Midvale company and were
twice rejected. But political in
fluence' was brought to bear, and
on the third trial the defective
forgings were accepted. Then fol-
lowed the horrible accident. The
men responsible for this accident
are not only criminals, but traitors
to the republic.
