Alderman Mcintosh Loses His Job.

Before Judge Higbee in Lacrosse,
last Saturday, City Attorney Proctor
and J. Henry Bennett argued the quo
warranto proceedings instituted by
James H. Sterry against Alderman
Frank P. Mcintosh, whom plaintiff as
serted was illegally declared elected by
the council acting as a canvassing
board; that the official ballot did not
indicate whether Mr.. Mcintosh was a
candidate for long or short term. Judge
Higbee indicated that the law was very
positive on this point, that he could not
accept the argument that it was pre-
sumptive Mcintosh was elected for
definite term when there was nothing
to indicate that on the ticket. He gave
Mcintosh five days to amend his answer
to plaintiffs complaint. Mr.. Mcintosh
and his attorney thought it best to
drop further resistance, and he re-
signed from the city council last even
ing. Mr.. Sterry is alderman from the
Second, having taken the oath of office
following April election. -Viroqua Cen

FINE CROP HARVESTED
FROM THE POOR FARM
0yerseer Robert Madigan Says Yield
OF Wheat Will Be Unusual; In
mates Are Happy

Splendid crops have been har.
vested on the Blue Earth county
poor farm. Overseer Robert Madi-
gan states that the yield of wheat
will not be unusual, but the other
crops will be above the average,
especially hay and corn. The melon
crop is a little short, because of in,
sects getting in their devastating
work An immense crop of hay,
something like seventy-five tons, has
been cut and is safely slowed away,
The cutting of corn began yester.
day. The potato. crop is also a big
one.
The poor farm has sixteen in.
mates at present, and this number
will probably increase as winter ap.
proaches. The inmates appeared to
a Free Press reporter yesterday to
be happy and contented. Mr., and
Mrs Madigan are both well adapted
for caring for these unfortunate peo-
pie, some of whom have seen better
days, and they take an interest in
their wards. There is an atmos-
phere of cleanliness about the big
house that is refreshing.
Mr.. and Mrs. Madigan like their
work, although they will no doubt
be glad to get back to their owl,
fine farm near Madison Lake when
they tire of their work for the poor
of the county. The county is for.
tunate to have such an excellent
couple in charge of the poor farm
Both are tender hearted and hos.
pitable and none of the poor will
ever lack attention while they have
charge of the farm.
The orchard has yielded well this
year, and the vegetables form an as
set that will help out the bill of ex.
pense Mrs. Madigan has done a
lot of canning, against the coming
winter. The garden and the flow.
ers are a sight worth going far to
see.

SOLOIST WAS ENCORED
Franklin BIyIer of North Mankato Pleas
ed Large Audience With His Sing
ing Last Night

The band concert on the court
house lawn last evenin g
was made doubly pleasing by the
popular soloist, Franklin Blyler of
North Mankato. He sang, when
dts Apple Blossom Time i'll Nor
mandy" and was encored enthusiast
tically by a very large audience. Mr..
Blyler was a member of the Ham
line University Glee club and has
been making quite a success this
summer in chautauqua circuits. He
is certainly an excellent singer. The
band played better than usual, which
fact shows that the musicians are
fast improving, and that they are
gaining an enviable reputation.
Among the numbers rendered were
"The Trumpeter of Sakingen," from
Werner's Parting Song" "Pas De
Fleur," from Delibes' opera, MAZDA"
and the overture, "Semeramide," by
Danizetti. William Schwanenberg's
solo, "Stabat Mater" by Rossini was
another feature of the evenings en-
tertainment, and was well received.
