In absence Of the Master.
On Monday morning about FIVE
o'clock, Red Wing experienced a reyu-
lar old fashioned Minnesota thunder
storm. The lightning slashed about
fearfully and the thunders awoke al
the old echoes there are in the bluffs
around. If it had been Fourth of july
morning the noise and pyrotechnic dis
play would have been highly appropriate
and contributed to make Red Wing lis
lance all competitors in the matter of
Centennial Celebrations. The heavy
rain which accompanied this grand dis
play might, however, have interfered
with the days enjoyment. The light
ming knocked a chimney off of Music
hall and struck the old Goodhue house,
but did no .serious damage, and the
thunder only aroused late sleepers and
got them out to an early breakfast.
THOSE who attend the Fourth of. Ju-
ly celebration in Red Wing will see, by
reference to Mr.. E. Browns card in
another column, that they will be afford
ed an opportunity Of steamboat ride
to the Centennial Picnic Grounds at
Wacouta, where a splendid dancing
floor has been laid and a good string
band and prompter will be engaged for
the occasion. Mr.. Brown will, also,
have on hand supply of ice-cream, lem
onade, cigars, ETC., and his sail and
row-boats will be at the disposal of the
excursionists. 1t is intended that the
steamboats, will make two or three
round trips from Red Wing and one
from Bay City to accommodate the
Wisconsin folks. This will afford Red
Wing people an opportunity to partici-
pate in the morning festivities, hear the
speaking and get their dinners here, 90
to the grove and enjoy its pleasures, and
return to Red Wing in time to see the
fireworks in the evening.
On last Friday afternoon stable be.
longing to Doctor Mozart, in the rear
of a residence on Levee street between
Fulton and Franklin, was set on fire,
it is said, by some boys playing with
fire crackers, and was entirely consum-
ed, as were, also, the adjoining stables
of Messrs. D. NJ. Baldwin and L. c.
Smith. The stable of Mrs. Phelps,
the dwelling of Mr.. Smith and anoth-
er small stable were endangered, but
they were saved mainly by the exertions
Of a few men with buckets and the Ex-
tinguisher company. The steam en-
CINE did not get to work in time to do
much toward preventing the spread of
the fire, for the buildings were old and
dry. In this connection We would urge
upon the citizens the utility of organic
ing and maintaining bucket company,
for it can always get to work effectively
at fire before any kind of an engine,
and it often happens that, although a
few buckets Of water would extipguish
a fire when the engines arrive on the
ground, before these can be put to work
it has made such progress that the de-
struct'on of the burning building is
unavoidable.
On LAST Saturday morning, between
one and two o'clock, three men named
Andrew and Frank johnson and Chas.
