Laws Lecture.

From Tuesdays Daily.
Ladies who were so fortunate as to
hear Mrs Bertha Dahl Laws lecture at
the city hall on Friday afternoon enjoy
ed rare treat Mrs. Laws is young
woman of very interesting personality
and is an entertaining speaker. Mrs.
Laws urged housekeepers to plan the
house for simplicity and convenience,
avoiding all unnecessary furniture, or
naments and utensils. Women must
learn to enjoy her work, to take pride
in it, to study easy methods, use all
labor sewing devices and always pre-
sent neat appearance while about it.
Above all she must learn healthful
cooking and be able to prepare the most
palatable food from the reasonably
priced material. Mrs. Laws gave direc-
tions for cooking meats in such way
as to convert the toughest cuts into
tender and delicious dishes.
The next speaker on like topics tc
visit Mankato will be Mrs. Blair of the
State Agricultural school on April 10.

From TUESDAYS Daily.

From Tuesdays Daily.
j. B. & d. Richards have engaged H.
C. Gerlach TO prepare plans for new
business building to replace the Glass
Block. He will prepare two sets of
plans, one calling for two story
building and the other for three story
block. The building will be of brick,
stone trimmed, substantially built with
iron Orders. The first floor will be di-
vided into two store rooms, the corner
one fortyfour feet wide and running to
the rear, and the other twenty two
feet wide and running to the rear if de-
sired j. B. & ID. Richards will Oc
cupy the larger room. The second floor
will be cut up into suits of rooms for

carried on their stock, $4,000, and the
full amount on their building, $4,000.
Some of the iron, and much of the
brick from the burned building can be
used again in rebuilding, so that the
cost will not be SO great as though new
material had to be purchased for the
entire construction work.

SLEUTHS HAVE BEEN BUSY.
Koch Case Is Demanding Attention OF
State and Defense.

New Ulm, MINI. March 24.-Tne sec
ond trial of DR.. George r. Koch for the
murder of DR.. Louis A. Gerhard, will
commence in Mankato April 10, and
meanwhile the defense and state are
busy preparing their cases.
In the past week the defense has
employed additional detectives in this
city and Mankato for the purpose of Sc
curing evidence which it believes will
free DIR. Koch. Fresh evidence against
another man, not connected with the
crime heretofore, will be advanced by
the defense at the new trial. Senator
Somerville spent two days in Mankato
in consultation with Pau & Pfau of
that city, attorneys engaged by the de-
tense to take charge of its interests in
that section.
The states attorneys are also busy
and affirm that additional incriminat-
ing evidence will be obtained against the
defendant. Albert Pfaender was in St
Paul several days in difference with
General Childs in the interest of the
state.
Neither the state nor defense has in
timated what its course will be at the
new trial, but it is known that three
detectives, who have been in New Ulm
and Mankato several weeks, have been
collecting evidence in an entirely new
| field.

SEEKING THE BY CAPTIVE.
An Echo of the Indian Outbreak Of
1862.

From Mondays Daily.
Mrs. Eva Skyman, a Sioux Indian and
Il daughter of Adam Little Thunder, re
Gently wrote to Ben. Juni in this city
to learn if he was the boy captive OF
August, 1862, who had been with her
uncle, Waubdisimtanka, and was releas-
ed nearly year afterward along the
Canadian border to Catholic priest in
exchange for pony, says The New Ulm
News. She described the boy, about
ten years old, and Mr. Juni wrote to her
that she was mistaken; that the boy
she described was half brother, John
Schurch, who after becoming a man
married a sister of Jacob KlOssner, and
she died many years ago. Mr.. Schurch
often visits New Ulm as commercial
traveller, living in Minneapolis. Another
letter received by Mr.. Juni last week
was in answer to his letter to her. The
woman writes very legible hand, and
excepting some awkward expressions
due to ner Indian tongue, the compost
ton of her letter is good. MIR. Schurch
was wounded in one leg by a rifle ball
(which Mrs. Skyman describes,) which
was received in fight of the Siouy
with the Mandan Indians the second
summer he was a captive. He had been
sent to the Mandans to assist III con
ference, when for some cause firing was
begun, and ne was between the two
fighting sides. The correspondence re-
calls wildly to Mr.. Juni's recollection
the scenes of his capture and captivity
along with Schurch, both about tb'
same age; but Mr.. Juni was released il
to autumn soon after his capture, t

From Tuesdays Daily
S. Targerson, farmer, of Rapidan,
came into The Free Press office today
with can of red earthly substance, de-
claring that the same had been pro-

finest quality. The mineral comes up
with bubbling spring on his farm and
is easily scooped up from the water
as it runs down through a gully. The
deposit lies in Range ~, Section %,
near the Maple river. There is no tell
ing how much of a deposit is there, but
it may be of great value.
