INSTRUMENTATION NOTES.

A number of lost articles were
found in the building during and
after the convention. Persons may
obtain these by sending proper
description to Rev. r. Ross Paden,
Ala South Broad street, Mankato.
A few sets of The Free Press are
left. Write direct to the newspaper
office If you fail to get your paper
as ordered, write to The Free Press
and the proper correction will be
made. Even in the best music there
are some accidents.
Chairman OsgoOd when interview
ed by The Free Press man, said:
Perhaps the most vivid impression
I received was the uniformly cordial
words our guests had for everybody
and everything in Mankato with
which they came in contact They
evidently liked Mankato and her
splendidly hospitable people. They
seemed to think we had quit business
except so far as it ministered to
their comfort and happiness while
here.
/ Rev. Heermance of the publicity
, committee, said ct is the first
convention with which | have ever
been connected where we had all
the money we had time to spend.
If we had been started earlier, we
could have made bigger plans, rails
| ed more money, sent out more adj
vertising, and gotten more people
here. Money was never raised so
easily. Two solicitors worked parts
of five or six afternoons. The news

one of our national gatherings in a

And it pays to have good accounts
and scatter them through the state.
Nothing does SO much to make the
delegates feel happy. Nothing adj
vertises the town SO well, nothing
so carries the message of the con-
vention We are proud OF our
papers"
From Thursdays Daily.
The fifty-third annual convention
of the Minnesota Sunday School as
ISOLATION is now in full swing. The
big Presbyterian church is filled with
delegates and others interested In
the proceedings 1t is concededly the
greatest convention of the kind ever
held in the state, and the enthusiasm
is unbounded. Those in charge of
it are working like beavers. They
seemingly are never idle.
Mankato has come in for a good
share of praise for what it has done.
On the stage last evening it was
highly commended by Secretary
Locker, who said that over 5000 had
been raised here locally to meet the
convention expenses, while the most
ever raised in any other city where
the convention has been held has
been less than $3.50. He also COM
plimented the local committees on
their splendid work, which, he said,
was far more strenuous than was
ever done in the preparatory work
for any other convention.
Delegates Taken Care OF.
AS the delegates arrived from out
of town they were Systematically reg
istered and assigned lodging places.
il they had not arranged for any
themselves. Then guides took them
to their boarding places. This was
, carried on all yesterday and last
evening, as the various trains rolled
in with scores Of delegates from
every direction, burdened with heavy
i suit cases, generally.
While ladies predominant among
the delegates, still the proportion OF

SAVOY PUTS ON
THREE GOOD ACTS

Three excellent acts are now being
presented at the Savoy, both the new
acts brought here from the Coast on
the Sierra proving exceptionally good.
The Doric Trio, composed of three
young men, caught with the crowd
at once. They sing in costume, put
ting on a cowboy stunt last evening.
They were appauded enthusiastically
and responded to six encores and cur
tain calls on their first appearance.
Their voices are strong and vibrant.
Dolliver and Rogers, two charming
young acrobats and dancers, are GER
tain to become favorites at the Savoy
as the Gladstone Sisters have been
at the Empire. Their act is Clean
original and fascinating and some
very pretty features are presented by
the duo.
The Laredos, the most flexible of all
contortiOnists, are showing the best
of their feats at present. With these
three numbers the management is al
$50 presenting a number of very good
films.

THE BlJOU

AT an early hour last evening even
standing room was at a premium at
the Bijou The reason no doubt was
the extraordinary bill presented, for
in addition to the excellent program
the ameateurs were billed to appear.
They duly appeared, and that they
were appreciated was easily shown
by the way the audience laughed at
their efforts, or applauded them, ac-
cording to merit. i.
Mr.. r. Kipling made an announce
ment that next weeks program will
be even better than any that has ever
been presented in Honolulu In adj
dition to Jones and Greiner, two es-
tablished Bijou favorites, there will
be the appearance of the new people
who arrived from the Coast yesterday
by the Sierra, and full Chinese COM
lpany will present an act that will last
for about twenty minutes. This ORR
entail turn is something different from
anything ever shown before in this
! line. The whole outfit is composed
iof Chinese, even the musicians, and
the play is something special. 1t will
certainly be a novelty, and ii will be
good, so no doubt Bijou patrons will
appreciate it.
The second matinee will be given
today at half-past two

DEER SWIMMING
IN THE OCEAN

NEWPORT, Dec. 20. - When about
south from the lightship yesterday
James Maparonas, a fisherman, found
a deer swimming about on the broad
Atlantic, and took him in, 1t was no
easy task, for the deer did not appear
to appreciate the fact that the fisher
man was acting for its best interests.
Maparona cousin, George Saras, now
has the deer, awaiting claimant, but
the chances are that this was wild
deer from the woods of the south coun-
try of this State.

Within THE IOWN.

- There is a story in circulation to
the effect that the parties to whom the
contract for the erection of a filter
plant in Yorkville was given not long
ago, will forfeit their contract: but
Mayor Hart says there is no founda-
ton for the story.
-Yorkville can have a population of
5000 inhabitants by the next census
if the people will only make up their
minds to work that way. The fact is
that Yorkville is already a good deal
bigger than a good many towns that
have five thousand inhabitants.

dent of Hickory, n. c., has accepted

The Greenville News has reproduced
our telephone message to the Anderson
Daily Mail under the caption, Hard
to Believe" We do not understand
that the Greenville News questions
our statements. We take its remark
as merely intended 10 draw more par
ticular attention to facts that are so
unusual as to strain the comprehen-
sion of practical newspaper workers.
However, if there Is anybody who real
ly shows any doubt as to the absolute
correctness of any essential statement
in the message, we have this PROPOSE
ton. Let the doubter put up $5 to go
to such charitable institution as we
might name in the event Of our fur
nishing absolute proof, and we will
put up our note for $1,000, secured by
mortgage on The Enquirer printing
plant, and subject to foreclosure in
favor of any charitable institution the
doubter might name, provided we can
not furnish such proof. The names OF
lne ehceIehl peopie opou' "Aoii w
were talking were not mentioned in
the original statement, because, we are
absolutely sure that they did not want
any undue publicity; but we can car
ry out the terms of our proposition
without the necessity of such public
ity. Let it be distinctly understood,
however. that in no sense is this a
banter to the Greenville News, be-
cause the Greenville News does not
doubt The Enquirer any more than
does the Anderson Daily Mail.

the capitol Of Pennsylvania few years
ago, have succeeded in compromising
the prosecutions that were Instituted
against them on paying back the sum
Of $1,300,000 in cash and surrending
warrants to the amount Of $500, ,000....
Representatives Of more than 100000
spindles held a meeting In Atlanta this
week and passed resolutions urging
drastic curtailment in the output OF the
cotton mills. .... John B. Turner, for
merly of Tennessee, has been elected
chief justice of the Oklahoma supreme
court. ;. Cincinnati, Ohio, has had an
other big fire, in which several firemen
lost their lives. ... The Mexican am

THE TOWNSHIP BONDS.

The article in the last issue Of The
Enquirer on the subject Of the town.
ship bonds issued in aid of the Charles
ton, Cincinnati and Chicago railroad
has been read with very general in
terest, especially in the townships in
terested, and many people, including
some Of those who must have to do
with the refunding of these bonds
were very much surprised to find the
situation as it is-that the time for the
refunding Of the bonds is so close at
hand.
The fact Of the matter is that 1t
would have been better If the whole
question had been thoroughly looked
into last year and the necessary legal
provision for refunding had been made
at the last session Of the general as
sembly. This, Of course, was not alb
solutely necessary; but in a case Of
to take any chances on not having
plenty of time in which to do all that
may be necessary to be done.
That there has been one pretty Sc
rious oversight is quite certain. In
making up the levy in January 1910 for
funds with which to pay interest falling
due on EbeneZer and Catawba bonds
January /, 1911, provision should have
also been made for paying the interest
from January 1, 1911 to May /, 1911.
AS it is there Is in the treasury only
sufficient money with which to pay the
coupons falling due January l, 1911,
and the May ! coupons cannot be taken
care Of without a special arrangement,
for which there is now no legal au-
thority.
When the bonds fall due on May 1,
Ebenezer township will owe about 1882
and Catawba township will owe nearly
$1,400. EbeneZer township has to its
credit sinking fund amounting to
about $1,500, and Catawba has to her
credit a sinking fund amounting to
about $3,700 or $4,000. With the au-
thority Of the legislature, this could be
used to pay this interest that has not
otherwise been provided for; or the su-
pervisor could be authorized to borrow
the necessary money on the security OF
taxes to be collected next year; or the
amounts due could be provided for
with additional bonds. Any one of
these expedients would be as good
as the other two and it will be mere
matter of inclination as to which will
be adopted.
Another thing which should be and
no doubt will be carefully considered
in the legislation now necessary,
will be the creation of a sinking fund
sufficient to pay off the refunding
bonds at their maturity. The statute
referred to as having been made at the
instance of Senator Brice few years
ago, and which Is responsible for the
existence Of the funds referred to
above, will probably answer every pur-
pose of a sinking fund for the new
bonds to be issued.

SUCCESSFUL LOT SALE.

Seventy-five town lots of about four
to the acre, changed hands at the auc-
ton sale conducted by the Anderson
Real Estate and Investment company,
in Yorkville last Tuesday, in about
two hours and at prices ranging from
$50 up to $125 lot.
The sale was a complete success from
every standpoint, and Mr.. E. R. Horton,
president of the company, who con-
Quoted the entire transaction was
thoroughly satisfied with all the de-
tails of the deal-the readiness with
which buyers absorbed the lots, and
the promptness with which they made
their initial payments.
The auction was conducted in regu-
lation style. In connection with a Dig
newspaper advertisement and the VIDE
distribution of circulars setting forth
the conditions and terms of the sale,
cards were given out in house TO
house canvass emitting each holder 10
a chance at prizes to be drawn from
hat during and after the sale. A
brass band under the direction or Prot.
Herndon furnished the music-and the
whole affair went off with plenty of
snap and vim.
A somewhat unusual feature con-
nected with this sale was the fact that
the lots were more especially offered TO
the colored citizens of the town. 1t
is a fact that the negroes have for
long time been finding it difficult to
buy lots in desirable localities. 1t IS
a fact that the white people do not
want the negroes to get too close to
them, and it is fact also, that the ne
groes have no desire to annoy the
whites with their presence when the
whites object. Of course, it is not to
be understood that all whites object
to all negroes. There are plenty of eX-
ceptions, but the rule is as stated, and
because of the situation described, the
negroes generally have had but little
choice in the location of their homes.
In this sale advantage was taken or
this situation, and although it was CIV
en- out that lots would be sold to any
body who desired to buy, the whites as
a rule bought only for speculation.
Only about half dozen lots were
bought by whites. The others were
bought by negroes.
The property included in the auction
sale is that formerly known as the j.
w. P. Hope property. 1t was pur-
chased by Mr.. w. d. Bewley OF Ches-
ter with a view to having an auction
sale of lots. Mr.. Bewley, however,
