DESTRUCTIVE ,FIRE-Last Wednes-
day night Carl Engel Of town Sigel met
with a serious loss. His stable, Is head
Of cattle, 2 horses, l colt, all his hay
and aquantity of grain and farming ut
ensils were consumed by thefames, sup.
posed to be the work of an incendiary
Mrs. Engel had; ia foreboding that scme-
thing terrible was about to happen and
she, in company of her husband, visit
ed the stable twice before they retired.
Hardly had they closed their eyes in
sleep when they were awakened by the
glare of the fire, and fastening to the
stable found that the flames had made
so much Roadway that it was an inn
possibility to save anything. If it is
the work at an incendiary, the wretch.
deserves to be strung up to the nearest
tree to the scene of the dastardly deed.
Senator Helling sold out to
the Democrats for the purpose. of
securing for his friend Ed.
Paulson, who seeked and received the
Republican nomination for sheriff last
fall, the petty Office Of asst. sergeant
at arms. He voted four times against
the Republican caucus nominees and
succeeded by his vote in electing two
Democrats, but when it came Paul
sons turn, Senator Doran, of lie Sueur
county, voted for the Republican NOM
inee which left Paulson out in the
cold, and Helling retired to figure up
how much he had gained by his
treachery to the party that had NOM
mated and elected him. Senator Hell
ling's Senatorial career SO far has been
anything but honorable, and his friends
here are very much disappointed and
disgusted by his action, while his enc
mics are CORRESPONDENCE jubilant.
SUDDEN DEATH-Ludwig Frank, one
of our old toWnsmen and a baker by
profession, died quite suddenly last
Friday morning. He arose about three
o'clock in apparent good health and
proceeded to bake the days bread.
Afterhis wife arose he complained Of a
compressed feeling across his chest,
but concluded his task. After
partaking of his breakfast as usual he
commenced saving freWood, butas he
was in the act of saving the first stick
through the second time he fell for
ward and expired instantly without
uttering a word. His sudden death
was evidently caused by heart disease.
He was carried to his last resting
place Sunday afternoon, followed by a
large procession of mourners and
friends. Mr.. Frank was go years old.
and only the day before his death eel
ebrated his birthday. He was a good
and industrious citizen, and but few
couldmake better s''pretzels'' than he.
All places of business, except the
two drug stores, are now closed on
Sundays; but our people have been so
nsed to getting this and that on Sun
days that it is hard for them to realize
the change. Onlast Sunday when pre-
pairing dinnera mattron suddenly dis
covered that the supply of salt had Civ.
en- out, but after vainly trying every
store door in the city a kindly disposed
neighboring lady came to her relief
else her liege lord would have been
compelled to eat his dinner minus
the salt. A gentleman, with bottle in
hand, appeared at our drug store door,
after we had closed up, and demanded
admittance. Of course he was admit
ted, but when he said omething about
vinigar, John Pfeferle's promised
warrant quickly passed before our.
eyes, and we slid under the counter
murmuring something about Sunday
laws, fines, &C., and the man with the
bottle quietly walked out, thinking no
doubt that we were fit object for the
lunatic asylum.
