H|CHBALL is DOOMED
CARRIE NATION is ABOUT TO
SAIL FOR SCOTLAND.
She Learns With Horror That Many
Church People in That Beautiful
Country Drink Booze.
Especial to The Free Press.1

New York, Nov. lS.-Our Carrie,
she's a-going to take a steamboat and
sail awa-a-a-y. The Schotch highball
is doomed. Our gain is Scotland s
loss. And much more to the same
general effect. Listen:
On the passenger list of trans
Atlantic liner, due to sail next Satur-
day, appears the name of Carrie Ma
ton. Sure it is 'the" Carrie Nation,
the Kansas tornado, the Oklahoma
typhoon, the saloon smasher, the lady
with the hatchet and the big voice.
And she is going to Scotland to re-
form that section of King Edwards
domain.
''The prohibitionists of Scotland
have called me and L must CO. says
Carrie. Before | leave, | hope to
see every drop of the damnable Scotch
whiskey poured into the CUTTERS" says
she. "Not as how Scotch whiskey is
any worse than any other kind" adj
NIT Carrie, ''but over in Scotland a
great many people consider whiskey-
swilling respectable, and they need
to be told few things" declares Car
RE, with the air of one who feels able
to tell 'em. "Why, even church peo-
pie drink booze in Scotland" asserts
the smasher, in a tone of horror.
Mrs. Nation thinks that the rum
demon is on the run i'm the United
States, and she believes this country
can spare her little while in order
that she may carry glad tidings OF
prohibition to more sinful lands
When she comes back to America
Mrs. Nation says she will begin a war
fare on tobacco that will make the
growers, manufacturers, sellers and
users of the filthy weed sit up and
take notice.

HOLDING A joint MEET
HARDWARE MEN GATHER AT
MEMPHIS, TENN.
Note OF Optisism Sounded BY Every
Delegate Attending the Big
Convention.
Especial to The Free Press.1

Memphis, Tenn, Nov 1S.-Over a
thousand delegates, from every i'm
portant manufacturing and obbing
city of the land, are in Memphis to-
day at the opening of the annual Joint
convention of the American Hardware
Manufacturers association and the Ma
tional Hardware Jobbers' association.
Three days will be occupied by the
deliberations o the delegates and
many matters of Importance affecting
the hardware trade will be taken up.
Among the visitors, the opinion is al
most universal that the country is fac
ing season of renewed prosperity.
This note of optimism is sounded by
delegates from every section.
The sessions of the convention will
be held at the Hotel Gayoso and will
be strictly executive in nature. The
trade and its demands will be the
chief topic of discussion, but the gen
eral public will not be taken into the
secrets of the meetings. One of the
rules of both associations is that no
business session can be interrupted
for pleasure, and the members will
seek their entertainment at night
The Hotel Gayoso is the headquar-
tiers for the jobbers and the Peabody
Hotel the headquarters for the manu-
facturers.

WILLIAMS THROWN OUT
DAY. COMBINE WINS
AN APPOINTMENT.
Bryanite Handed His Walking Papers
BY Governor Johnson, Lynch Is
Given Boost.

st. Paul, Nov. 1S.-Governor johnson
yesterday made formal announcement
of appointments. w. E. McEwen, state
labor commissioner in place of w. H.
Williams of Minneapolis; E. J. Lynch
of st. James, now deputy labor COM
missioner, to be state oil inspector to
succeed Mr.. McEwen. The appoint
ments will take effect Jan. |, 1909.
The making of the appointments
means that Chairman Frank A. Day
of the democratic state central COM
mittee has won out in his long fight
against the Bryanistic labor commits
sioner, Mr.. Williams. Governor John
son was beseiged Monday with re-
quests from Minneapolis for the reap
pointment of Mr. Williams, but it is
understood that he has intimated that
a member of the board of control
will be chosen from Hennepin county
to give it the representation it claims.
The abandonment of w. H. Williams
by the democratic organization was
forecast year ago by the appoint
ment of w. f. McEwen of Duluth to
the position of state oil inspector.
Mr.. Williams administration of the
office of labor commissioner has been
satisfactory in every respect and he
has made a vigorous fight for several
things of interest and value to labor,
but he has not been in sympathy with
the democratic administration Be-
longing to the ultra Bryan class, it
was claimed that he had criticised
Governor Johnson's handling of the
strike Situation on the iron range
over year ago. At the time the
fight was made to secure the indorse-
ment of Minnesota democracy of John
son for president Mr.. Williams was
neutral but the Johnson men claimed
that he was quietly using his influ
ence for Bryan.

DEAD BODY ice PACKED
GREWSOME FIND NEAR FAIR.
MONT YESTERDAY.
Evide ntIy Man Had Been Dead for a
Month or More, No CIew As to
His Identity.

Fairmont, Nov. IS.-The dead body
of man was found at the edge of a
slough frozen into the ice four miles
southeast of the city. The CHASTITY find
was made by Mr.. Churchyard's son,
Harry, who was out hunting at the
time.
The remains were not molested or
examined pending the arrival of the
coroner, who was Immediately noti-
fed As viewed in a perfunctory man
ner it seemed to be man of middle
age, clothed in a gray suit with blue
flannel shirt. To all appearances the
man had been dead for month or
more, the face being so discolored by
decay that at first it was thought to
be the body of a negro.
There is no clue at this time as
to the identity or manner of death
of the unfortunate.

and even. Heretofore it has been
necessary for the farmers to use four
horses to get loads of ice, stone, sand
lumber and other commodities up the
hill, but with the new road two hor-
ses can easily do the work.
Can Avoid Autos.
One of the best features of the road
is the fact that half of it is CON
stantly in view practically all of the
time. In this way, people travelling
it can see automobiles or other vehi-
cles far ahead and not be taken I'M
awares, as in the present road, which
twists around the wrong side of the
ravine to see ahead. The new road
is also so located on the north side
of the ravine that the sun will keep
it dry, while in winter travellers will
be protected from the north wind
The driveway is twenty feet wide and
four feet more is left for gutter
on the upper side. There is one foot
crown, or ten per cent, which will
turn the water nicely.
The road is $500 feet long, and
l,490 of this is within the village
limits of North Mankato. The road
comes out at the top just 200 feet
higher up than where it starts at the
bottom. Two side creeks are crossed
with stone cuIverts. At the smaller
one, the culvert is 1919 feet long,
and the fill 2SH feet, and at the larg-
er one the culvert is l52 feet long and
the fill AGA feet, or ll,775 yards of
dirt. The pitch of the culverts is
plenty to give good fall The total

CLUB IN LIVELY SESSION;
BUSINESS MEN ACTIVE
Commercial Organization Held Meeting Last
Evening, Its First After Several Months of
Inactivity; Many Topics Discussed;
Roads As Trade Cetters.

The Mankato Commercial club held
meeting last night, after a long
vacation, and showed some signs of
activity, which may result in good be-
ing accomplished during the coming
winter and spring. The clubs finan-
ces are once more in sound condition.
Secretary Otto reported that there
is on hand in the treasury $l94.S5,
and that the only obligations against
this are 500 rent due the incubator
factory, and minor bills amounting to
so or $l5 Possibly there are few
more outstanding that have not been
heard of.
President Nyquist said that there
is 5000 on hand which the Boosters
club donated to help pay the clubs
$500 subscription toward the new road
up the bluff in North Mankato, and
that $500 remains to be raised for
this purpose, but that there are dues
and subscriptions outstanding to the
amount of $3.50, all of which is
good. He said that he would be too
bad if the club should die now.
Change of Car Line.
George E. Brett said that he was
pleased that the club was getting on
its feet again, and it ought not to be
allowed to die. 1t ought to begin to
boost Mankato and get back the trade
that was lost during the typhoid fever
epidemic, which amounted to good
many hundred thousand dollars 1t
can be gotten back by the right eff
fort. Nothing is so important as to
advocate good roads, for this helps
trade more than anything else. One
change is needed in the street car

the mighty had fallen. Joe's clever
ness, his wonderful heading ability,
that which has made him famous

supply.
