ATTEMPT TO BURN THEATRE.
Owatonna Citizens Are Aroused Over
the Act Of Incendiaries.

Owatonna, Mimi, March THE citi-
zens of Owatonna are incensed over an
alleged attempt to burn the Metropolitan
theater in this city shortly before noon
yesterday. Smoke was discovered by
the caretaker of the theater, issuing
from the doors and the windows and the
alarm was given just in time to save
the building from destruction.
Chief M. Twiford of the fire depart
ment in a statement last evening, de-
clares that the work is that of incen-
diaries who have some motive i'm de.
stroying the building. He states that
when he arrived at the building he dis
covered quantity of kerosene sprinkled
about the floor underneath the stage.
The management of the house claim
that the flames was due to an exposed
wire, but Chief Twiford contradicts the
theory, on the grounds that the wire in
question never could have set the build
ing on fire. Slight damage was done to
the building, only a portion of the fur
nishing about the stage being damaged.
On Jan. Is last, an incipient blaze was
discovered in the opera house, but as it
was extinguished by the department.
without damage to the building, nothing
more was thought of the. affair. The
building is owned by w. F. Fage, and
was purchased short time ago from
a stock company for $4,000. The
original cost of the opera house was
S33 900, part of which had been raised
by popular subscription. The fact that
the citizens subscribed $1,000 toward
the erection of the building makes them
doubly indignant.

G. w. Armstrong of Hennepin then
moved that the bill be indefinitely post

carried with practical unanimity. In

Mr.. Thayer later had his bill excepted,

again. A delegation from Blue Earth

Paul at 10 a. M, Wednesday.
Now that the burning question of the
retention of the pensions of the inmates
of the home at Minnehaha has been def

veterans to take advantage of the

to reports of officers and other routine

Alexander Bashaw Writes Of His Trip
to Vermont.

to Vermont.
From Mondays Daily.
Alex Bashaw of this city, who is Wis
iting in the east, writes to The Free
Press as follows:
"We rode on the elevated cars in Bos.
ton, looped the loop, and also rode in the
sub-subway under the Charles river.
The sub-subway was open to the public
on Jan. l, 1905. We visited the pub
lie library and saw books printed in
l742. Plans are under way to COM
memorate the famous midnight ride of
Paul Revere. Every year at midnight
on the anniversary of that memorable
time, man will ride through the
streets yelling as did Paul Revere did
to awaken the people. We visited the
fish warves and saw boat of fish I'M
loaded into bushel baskets; the fish
were also drawn out of the boat with a
rope and dumped into a large box. As
the fish were sold to the markets they
were loaded into dump carts with a
ng-handled fork. The wharves were
lined with the carts. There were several
large steamers at anchor in the navy
yard. We saw the marine boys, as they
were preparing to sail away.
1--WE went to Collinsville, Conn.,, to
meet an uncle L had not seen for forty
years. He has three girls and three
boys, all musicians and singers. We
called them lunatics as they are so
jolly. They took us through the edge
tool shops. The smallest knife was
eighteen inches and the largest four
feet. They are Spanish knives and are
shipped to Spain. We went into the
factory at ten o'clock in the morning
and we were five hours in going through
four shops. We were so tired that we
could not go through the other two. l
will mention the wrench department
where the wrenches were made. The
smallest was six inches and ran up to
twenty-one inches. In this department
we met young man nineteen years old.
His home is in Maine. He told us that
he was seven feet, four and One-half
inches tall. His name is Guy Davis. He
is cousin of former Mayor Currier of
This young man inspects ev-
cry wrench, puts his mark on them and
boxes them.

mont, with its evergreens and noun
tains. From the top of two of these
mountains one can see Montreal at the
distance of hundred miles. The seem
cry through Connecticut and Vermont is

From Thursdays Daily.

From Thursdays Daily.
The concert given at the theatre last
evening under the auspices of and as
prelude to the great Minnesota els,
teddfod was grand success in every
way. The audience was large and ap-
preciative one, and the program was very
fine. Some of the best Welsh singers in
the northwest participated on the pro-
gram.
The fact that Evan Hughes, who was
to have had the first number on the
program, was unable to appear an ac-
count of cold that had settled in his
throat caused slight change in the
program, and Prof. John Howell Will
Jams of Milwaukee, the adjudicator of
music for the eisteddfod, was the first
to appear. He had a prominent part on
the program, and maintained the high
reputation that fel to his selection as
adjudicator. He possesses fine tenor
voice, and does very artistic work.
Miss Clara Williams of Minneapo-
lis was another of the favorites on the
program, and she also had prominent
part. Her rich soprano voice and her
splendid execution won her many de-
served compliments. She has been heard
in Mankato several times before, and is
always warmly welcomed by the music
loving people of the city.
o. T. Morris of st. Paul is another
tenor with sweet voice, well modu-
lated, with plenty of volume and well
controlled. He deserved the encores
which he received. He was particularly
good in "The Lost Chord" and also
in "The Flower Song" from Carmen.
Miss Jennie Hughes of this city sang
'Unto Thy Heart" with exquisite taste,
handling her fine soprano voice with
that care that only comes from careful
culture. Prof. Ambrosch furnished vio-
lin obligato. In response to an encore,
Miss Hughes gave another sweet selec
tion.
Arthur H. Jones was the only other
local singer who had solo part. He
has frequently appeared before Man.
kato audiences of late and he fully
maintained the popularity which he has
acquired with musical circles. His voice
is good one, and, and he has cult
waited it effectively. He sang Beloved,
1t Is Norm" and was called back.
One of the most pleasing numbers on
the program was the trio, "Fair Flora
Decks" sung by Prof. and Mrs. S. S.
Ingram and o. r. Morris. Mrs.

two physicians gave her up. We were

the two gentlemen in question do not
give out much information. They seem
to be doing things"
The hope of railroad and the assur-
ance threat of larger town is making
business boom. On the lot directly west
of the American House, our whilome
meat man, Mr.. Trentner, has felled
giant cottonwood, preparatory to build
ing an up-to-date shop. As Mr.. Treut
ner has won, by his affable manner and
sound business policy besides his skill
as cutter of juicy steaks, warm
place in the hearts of his fellow towns
men the new venture will be well pat
ronized.
Frank Buschena has so arranged that
Mr.. Dunn, who for years has conduct
ed berry farm near Eagle Lake, takes
his meat market business Immediately.
Mr.. Dunn will put an experienced butch
er in the shop and cater to the
choicest trade. He himself will be chief
ly employed on the road, selling meat
and buying farm produce.
1t is rumored that the rMankato- st.
Clair star route is to be abandoned, the
local mail to go through Eagle Lake.
There is heard an ominous rumble at
this, as we shall be left out in the cold
entirely, when it comes to the express
business. Our present driver, Andrew
Hanson, would doubtlessly be employed
elsewhere; but it is sure we should lose
a faithful carrier; for besides being
punctual, no trouble is too much for
him to take, whatever the weather.

of Rev. Father Sherlock to keep him in

the powers that be to that end.
