Sherman's Earlier Fame.
Going back little further we find
the late John Sherman standing as
the monument of sound finance and
marking the otherwise cOlOrless HAYES
administration from 1877 to 1881 as an
epoch in the financial history of the
country. In the days of the Civil War,
Stanton, at the head of the War De
partment, earned the name of being
the greatest Secretary of War the
United States ever had and was the
mainstay Of the immortal Lincoln in
the latter's heartbreaklug experiences
with traitors. politicians and selfseek-
ing army officers. The 130 years of
national life of the United States fur
nished many brilliant examples of
what a Cabinet officer can accomplish
and the influential part he can play in
the achievements of an administration.
1t depends largely upon the Presi-
dent of the United States to what eX-
tent a Cabinet officer may achieve
prominence in national affairs. Dur
ing the last generation most of the
Presidents of the United States have
been men of iron will and command
ing personality. Most of them, how
ever. have depended upon members of
their Cabinet for expert advice on
great national and international issues.

re-eminent in the direction of affairs
of state and domestic policies. These

but ever ready to listen to the advice

strong men they had chosen for their
Cabinet.

Mil Will be Built Here.

Since the destruction bv fire of the
Freeport mill of the Union Fibre Co.
few weeks ago, E. W. Hoyt, super
intendent of mills for the above COM
pany, has been working on plan to
rebuild the mill at DEBORAH. He has
just purchased for the company the
lots belonging to Henry Paine in the
south part of the city, on the Mil
waukee tracks, and will Immediately
construct a large mill. 1t is the
intention of the company to finish the
product at this mill as soon as the
plans can be perfected, we understand.
At the Freeport mill the tow was
simply prepared and then shipped to
Winona to be sewed into the finished
product, but Mr.. Hoyt contemplates
in the near future the installation of
sewing machines, etc. here, so as to
make this mill the largest one the
company has outside of the Winona
plant, and complete the product here
ready for market. We are especially
glad to announce the rebuilding of
the plant, as it was feared for time
that the burning of the Freeport mill
would end the business for this con-
Germ here.

Jack HOefflef in Town.

Jack Hoeffler came to town today.
The, we'll known theatrical man is
looking in the pink Of condition and
wears an air of prosperity. Mr..
Hoeffler is making his home in Terra
Haute, Ind, where he is building a
theatre. His playhouse
will be opened in September.
Mr.. Hoeffier has a very friendly
feeling for Mankato, he having re.
sided here for number of years, and
naturally he takes pleasure in bring
ing his company here.
Hoeffler's success in the theatrical
business has been phenomenal. He
always carries good companies and
the patronage accorded has been large.
Jacks many friends in Mankato
were glad to see him, and there is no
doubt but that the engagement of this
company here next week will be sue
cessful. -Mankato News.

Getting Ready TO Go 10 Market.

We drop ed into Ben Bears store
Monday afternoon and found Mr.. Bear
and force of assistants busy checking
up the stock, preparatory to his semi
annual trip to the eastern manufact-
urers to replendish stock. Mr.. Bears
business is conducted by system and
method. At this time each year every
department of his store is thoroughly
checked over, and u list Of necessities
for fall and winter made up, with
estimates Of the probable needs of his
customers. These he puts into such
shape that when he gets to New York
he knows just what he wants in every
stvle of cloths and manufactures.
There he selects the cloths and gives
definite instruction as to the make
up of each garment, even the Innings
coming under his scrutiny. When he
comes home he knows just what he
has ordered, how it will be made,
and what it is actually worth. 1t is
OF some value to a community to
have in it a man who knows his
business so thoroughly, and has every
detail on the ends of his fingers, for
his word and his reputation is back
of every piece Of goods that goes out
Of his house, and when he makes a
representation, he knows the business
folly Of having the goods fall short
Of that representation, and sees to it
that they never do. His extraordinary
success has come from tireless energy,
scrupulous business honesty, con-
tinuous advertising, and close atten-
tion to the minutest details.
Mr.. Bear leaves next week for the
New York markets.

Mrs. Jones improving.

News from Iowa City brings the
welcome intelligence that Mrs. w.
P. Jones, who was recently shot by
her former husband, is slightly i'm
proved, and strong hopes are now en-
tertained for her recovery, unless un-
foreseen complications set in.
Jones is confined in Jail awaiting
trial on the charge of the murder Of
s. E. Danner, the farmer at whose
home Mrs. Jones was visiting, and
the attempted murder of his former
wife. He has not yet asked for az,
opportunity to plead, but will pro-
badly plead guilty to some form Of
charge, claiming intoxication as an
excuse. 1t is expected to be proven
by the state that he had repeatedly
threatened his wife. Garfield Jones,
who was with him at the time of
the crime, has been arrested on the
charge of assault with intent to COM
NIT murder and is now being given
a preliminary hearing.

Trip to Harrington.

A HERALD representative spent
a short time between trains yes
terday at Harrington. Among the
items OF interest there is the i'm
mense fuel oil tank recently put up
by the railroad company. This
huge receptacle has a capacity Of
$50, 600 barrels, and to one not &C
quainted with the amount of oil
consumed, it would seem the res
ervoir would hold a sufficient
quantity for a years supply, but in
fact, a tank of oil only lasts a COM
paratively short time.
The artesian well which is be-
ing put down by Randolph Robert
son for the railroad company has
become quite a long drawn out
proposition. Several months ago
the well was begun, and after go
ing down about 400 feet, the drill
slipped and the hole had to be
abandoned. Another we'll was
started a few feet from the old one,
and the drillers are now down
about 500 feet, and drilling in solid
rock. This rock is so extremely
hard that it is impossible to drill
more than eighteen inches a day.
The drillers hope 20 soon pierce
thisIock, when it is believed a good
flow ofsrtesian water will be found.
The land around Harlingen APP
pears susceptible Of high state o.
