Cars, DESTROYED.

Ballinger, Feb. 26, 1904.-This
morning a little before 4 O'Clock
the Santa Fe depot was discov-
cred to be on fire, but the fire was
urder such Roadway when discov-
cred that it was impossible to do
anything towards checking the
flames. The passenger depot,
freight sheds and express office
were totally destroyed, together
with six cars that were on the
track near the buildings; three of
the cars we're loaded, one with
lumber, one with merchandise
and the other with corn. Ten
other cars, somc of them loaded,
were moved out of reach of the
fire and saved. 1t is estimated
that the loss will be between
$25, 900 and 100000 There is no
theory as to how the fire
originated.

SHORT CROP IN SOUTHWEST.
n. v. Jones, the Minneapolis Expert,
Makes An Estimate.

III. V. Jones returned this morning
from the southwest, after an examina-
ton of the winter wheat fields. The win
ter wheat yield he estimates at $4,000
900 bushels against 4ol, 100000 bushels
last year, or 81 900, 900 bushels less. Kan
sas, Mr.. Jones estimates, will have IT,
100000 bushels and Oklahoma $4,000, 900
bushels.
"The shortage of 100000 bushels,
compared with last year." says MIR.
Jones, "looks more favorable for the
millers of the northwest the coming
year, if we can procure good spring
wheat crop, or even do no better than
last year. The shortage of winter wheat
will help to equalize differences that
have prevailed for year between spring
and winter wheats.
During early marketing of the crops
this will not be so apparent, but after
January next it will show up, if we are
right in conclusion as to production.
''The southwest is prosperous, except
for a distance in Oklahoma. In Indian
Territory and Kansas, where large wheat
areas were abandoned early in the
spring, the land has been seeded to bar.
ley. Alfalfa is doing well. This month
the last of the range cattle in Indian
Territory will be marketed-75,0 900 te
100000 head. Next year the ranges &c
into Indian allotments and will be brok'
en- up for all time.
"In my judgment the low point has
been seen in cattle prices and an up
ward trend may be expected from now
on. Minneapolis Journal.

TRAVELLING MEMS PICNIC.
1t Will Be Held at SibIey Park on
July 4.
From Thursdays Daily.


What is intended to be the nucleus of
social organization to be known as
the Travelling Mems association of Man
kato, group of prominent travelling
men of the city, held meeting at the
Saulpaugh last evening and talked over
the arrangements for travelling mems
picnic to be held at Sibley park on the
Fourth of July. Little progress has been
made in the formation of a permanent
organization. That work will be attended
to after the picnic is over. It is hoped
then to enroll as members of the asso-
citation all the two hundred or more
travelling statesmen residing in the city,
Those gentlemen, who are pushing the
matter of holding picnic and forming
an association, have organized them
selves into committee, with George E.
Black as chairman, and the following
other members: James E. Crandall, D.
j. Brown, A. H. Dobbin, Charles Wyatt,
George w. Bunce and F. J. Dickson.
All the travelling men in the city are
earnestly invited to come to the picnic
and to bring their families. The COM
mittee has already made arrangements
with George Atchison to carry all the
picnickers, who have no other mode of
conveyance, out to the park in omni-
buses. The vehicles will leave the place
of meeting, on South Front street near
the Saulpaugh, at noon on the Fourth.
Picknicers will bring their baskets OF
lunch. 1t will be wise to bring enough
for two meals as the picnic is to last
all the afternoon and evening too, for
the fireworks are to constitute one of
the main features of the program.
Full particulars of the program of
the picnic have not been decided upon.
The committee will meet again at the
next Saturday evening to pass
upon these matters. 1t is pretty general
ly agreed, however, to hold a series of
athletic contests. There will also be
horse races, and one or more ball games.

GOOD FOR THE CITY.
Mere Money Left Here Yesterday Than
Was Taken Out.

From Thursdays Daily.
The hotels and eating houses as rule
report that they fed more people yes
terday than they did on the day of the
Woodman picnic. 1t is hard for them to
estimate just how many they did feed,
but all had all that they could do to
handle the crowd.
There is some speculation as to how
much the circus took. out of the city.
Estimating the number of paid admis-
sions during the day at $4,000, which
would be a conservative figure, and
counting the reserved seats and the con-
cert and side shows, it is possible that
the show management took in $4,000.
Yesterday was pay day with the circus,
and the numerous employees received
their months salaries. Some of this
money was left in the city, and good
deal was paid out for forage and meat
for the animals, besides supplies for
the cooks, livery and advertising bills,
and other expenses. 1t might be that
$1,000 was thus spent here.
All of the money carried away by the
circus management did not come from
this city, for it is likely that as many
people from out of the city attended
the performances as city residents. These
outsiders nearly all bought tickets, and
most of them left as much or more
money in the city with the eating places
and stores and iverymen as they paid
to the circus management. Looking at
the matter from this point of view, it
is likely that more money was left in
the city than was taken out, perhaps
several thousand dollars more, but of
course the money taken away by the cir
Gus came from this section, which is trib-
utary to Mankato.
1t is said that 200 tickets were sold
at Cleveland for this city yesterday.
Other places more or less distant sent
large delegations, and it was a fine ad-
vertisement for the city to have so many
strangers come. The trade of many of
these people may be secured and held,
so that the merchants will benefit.

Young Girl in Minneapolis Whose
Identity Is Net Known.
Had in Her Possession Picture Of
a Mankato Residence.
But No One in This City Knows
Who The Suicide Is.
In Conscious Moments Repeated the
Name May Sherwood.
From Thursdays Daily.

from lnurS0ay's Dally.
Minneapolis authorities have a mys-
terious case on their hands.
A young girl attempted suicide in that
city several days ago, taking poison.
She was removed to one of the hospitals,
and the report from Minneapolis this af-
ternoon was to the effect that the girl
was dying
At this writing the police of Minneap-
oils had not learned the name of the
young lady. The police discovered on her
person picture of the residence of Judge
Daniel Buck of this city. 1t was first
thought that the girl might possibly at
one time have been employed in the fam
lily of Judge Buck as a domestic, but
Judge Buck stated to The Free Press this
afternoon that he knew of no girl an
swering the description of that of the
the Minneapolis party, and was GER
tain that she never had been employed
in his family. He could not understand
how stranger could have come IN pos
session of the picture.
In her conscious moments the dy-
ing girl repeated over and over the
name, "May Sherwood" but no other
clew to her identity was obtained. The
police did find among the girls posses
sions something that led them to think
that her first name might be "Olga."
The girl is about nineteen years of age,
quite large, but not fleshy.
The girl is not known in Mankato.
Besides suffering from the effects of
the poison, the girl is stricken with
pneumonia, and this will no doubt cause
her death.

said, sit is glorious day!" jefferson
