plication of heart trouble and dropsy.
She had not been we'll for the past three

her family. Her death occurred at her

The deceased was born in Mankato

Contest in the Second.

In an editorial relating to the con-
gressional fight in this district The Mar
shall News Messenger has this to say:
'There is much comment in the metro
politan press concerning the congress
sional contest, if such it may be called,
in the second district. Mr.. McCleary, the
present member, and Mr.. Miller of Luz
verne, are candidates. Mr.. McCleary is
as earnestly avowing the gospel of high
protection as he did few years ago
the doctrine of sound money. Mr.. Miller
is just as earnestly proclaiming for an
immediate revision of the tariff sched-
ules, lowering the same where it will not
conflict with the reasonable interests of
American manufacturers and producers,
and abolishing the tariff upon products
excessively profitable to the producers,
and unnecessarily hurdensome to con-
sumers. These are the chief issues of
the contestants, and we believe the ma
jority of the voters of the second dis
trict agree with Mr.. Miller, just as we
believe the majority of the voters of the
seventh district disagree with Congress
man Volstead in in his high tariff views.
And yet. Mr.. Volstead's convention en-
phatically endorsed his tariff views, be-
cause the selection of delegates was
manipulated for that purpose"

MANKATo TOWNSHIP NOTES.

William Wittrock on Tuesday and
Wednesday of last week threshed the
harvest of his l60 acre farm on the
Mapleton road, three miles from Man
kato. The threshing was done on Julius
Frederick's machine. His crop of wheat
aggregated 1854 bushels, averaging
twenty-six bushels to the acre. His
yield of oats was 9S7 bushels, being
80 l3 bushels to the acre, and the whole
yield of barley was 227 bushels, being
sixty bushels to the acre.
Eddie Wittrock on Thursday fore
noon of last week threshed on the farm
he is renting from Frank Dauk. He got
yield of l9l bushels, averaging twenty
six bushels to the acre.
Henry Wittrock came home on days
visit last Tuesday from the state hos
pital at st. Peter to see his parents
thresh.
Louis Wittrock, after visit of ten
days with his parents, has gone back
to the st. Peter hospital. He spent
most of his time helping his father and
the neighborhood thresh. Well, he just
enjoyed that. 1t was fun for him. He
left yesterday evening at seven o'clock
for st. Peter, where he will resume his
duties Immediately.
Mrs. Frances Schwarble went out to
help her sister, Mrs. Wittrock, during
the week the threshers were on the Wit
trock farm.

WORK OF BLACK RUST.
It Is Described by Ed jenkins Of Lake
Crystal.
From Wednesdays Daily.

cIOm wednesday, Ddly.
Ed. Jenkins who resides in this place,
has on his farm in Sargent County, N.
D., $50 acres 'sown to wheat He has
just returned from there and brought
sample of wheat heads to show the
condition of his crop. There is here and
there kernel of wheat in each head but
they are all shriveled, and no good to
mention. 1t might do for feed if there
were enough of it to make it an OBJ
ject to cut. Mr.. Jenkins told the ten
ant on the place that he might do as
he pleased, with the crop; it wasn't
worth harvesting to him. The tenant
worked the farm for half, but there is
no half to speak of so the years work
is gone. Mr.. Jenkins says the farmers
are awful blue in that county. He was
up and visited his farm in June, and he
says then the prospect for a fine crop
never was better; but there's many
slip betwixt the cup and the lip. In
North Dakota wheat raising is the prin-
cipal occupation of farmers. No corn
to speak of is raised; fax, barley and
oats are raised, but these crops are side
issue, with wheat raising as the old
standby. No wonder that the, price
of wheat is up and may go higher be-
fore things take turn.-Lake Crystal

Cansiaacx Is Well Received.

Elsewhere in this issue will be found
extracts from number of newspapers
relating to the congressional contest in
the second district. The candidacy of
Hon. Herbert j. Miller is very we'll re-
ceived and his brethren in the profes-
sion give him some very complimentary
notices. Even those newspapers that are
friendly to Mr.. McCleary recognize in
Mr.. Miller a strong man, and one who
is worthy of the confidence and respect of
the public. These newspapers are free
to admit, too, that Mr.. Miller will give
Mr.. McCleary hard fight. This is a
frank admission. inasmuch as it has
been claimed in certain quarters that
Mr.. McCleary is invincible.
In his declaration for a revision of
the tariff MIR. Miller appears to be meet
ing with the approval OF a large number
of the republican newspapers of the Sec
ond district and elsewhere in the state.
This is the issue upon which Mr.. Mil
Ter goes before the people, but at the
same time Mr.. Millel subscribes to all
the vital principles of the party of
which he has been member and sup
porter for twenty five years and more
1t will be up to the republicans of the
second district to say whether they wish
to be represented in congress by one who
believes in a safe revision of tariff
schedules, or by one whose platform is
"standpatism."

From Wednesdays Daily.
Walter Ziesarewitsch, aged thirteen,
was killed while attempting to board a
moving southbound freight train on the
Omaha road near Amboy this morning.
Ziesarewitsch and two companions, Fin
kie and Jordan, two boys younger than
the first named, were walking toward
Amboy when the freight came along.
In his attempt to climb aboard the train
his feet slipped, and Ziesarewitsch's body
was drawn under. The left hand was
severed and the boy received an ugly
cash on the side of his head. After the
train had passed the boys dead body
was found lying between the rails. The
train crew did not learn of the accident
until they reached Amboy. The father
of the dead boy is Peter Ziesarewitsch
who is employed on the section.
Coroner Kennedy was called.
The accident occurred about mile out
from Amboy.

TOhn L. Christosen.

James c. Moore, local freight agent of
the Milwaukee road, today received a
telegram to the effect that his brother
in-law, John L. Christosen of Faribault,
was dead. The news was not altogether
unexpected, as Mr.. Christosen had been
i'll during the past nine months with
Bright's disease. He is survived by a
wife and seven children, some of whom
are grown. Mrs. Sarah Moore, mother
in-law of the deceased, left this after
noon for Faribault. j. C. Moore will
probably go to Faribault tomorrow.

laid out and then executed. They are
most all discretionary and are left to
his industry, integrity and love of work
in his chosen vocation. The man counts
much more in this office than in any
other of the county offices. We do not
mean that the required duties of this
office are greater or more important,
but the unrequired duties are where
ability, industry, education, tact and
the like come in and give value to the
service
The limits of the value of the serv-
ice rendered by this officer to the peo-
pie are only determined by the caliber,
industry, education and will of the per-
son holding the office.
On the shoulders of the county sup
erintendent in a very large measure
rests the progress or otherwise of the

been, are and will be reared the leading

so non-partisan, so important, it has
very properly been opened to the suf-
frage of the ladies as well as the men,
The Free Press takes pleasure in thus
calling the attention of the ladies to

spective candidates for this office, and
as non partisans to cast vote for the
candidate they find best qualified and
most liable to. build up the rural

STEPPED IN MYSTERY.
Joseph StangIer Would Like to Know
Whereabouts Of Horses.


Joseph Stangler of Lake Emily, who
suffered loss about a month ago of his
barn and nine head of horses and all
the farm machinery, does not feel salts
fed that the large black team persisted
with the rest of his horses. There seems
to be mystery connected with the af-
fair. The general opinion is that the
team was stolen from the barn and then
set fire, also the harness belonging to
this team is gone without leaving a
single trace. He has looked in vain for
the large brass nubs of the names
which he is satisfied would be there if
the harness had burned
