SUDDEN DEATH.

On Saturday morning last, George
Hettler. an aged gentleman living abou
three miles from this city, on the Maple
ton road near Hodapp's saw mill, died
suddenly while about dong his chores
He had been doing the milking and re.
turned to the house and related to his
wife that he had suffered terrible pain
in the vicinity of the heart, remarkine
that If it came on him again that he did
not think he could stand it. He went
out again and not returning in due time
search was made by his wife who found
him just gasping his last. Aid was sum-
moned from the mill and medical assist
ance sent for but life was extinct.
Mr.. Hettler has resided in this Viein-
ity for many years and was well known
to most of cur citizens, from the fact
that he annually delivered garden vege-
tables of all kinds about the city. His
funeral occurred on Monday from the
Catholic church in this place.

STANDARD ormnNr 90. AHEAD
The Largest Contract Secured Ever Be.
fore Awarded In the World.

It will be pleasure for the people Of
Mankato especially and the friends Of
the company everywhere, to learn that
the Standard Cement folks have just
been awarded the largest contract fol-
cement ever given in the world-that OF
furnishing two and quarter millions Of
barrels, and this being the minimum
amount, it may require another quarter
million barrels to complete the job.
This almost inconceivable amount of
cement will be used in the construction
of the aqueduct from Croton river to
New York City, a distance of thirty-six
miles, work upon which will immediate
ly begin. The time in which this cement
must be delivered is four years. The
Company will probably supply a large
portion of the contract from their vari-
GUS works, taking only that portion
from Mankato which requires high
test, and which cannot be procured at
any other place in America.
When it is understood that the Stand
ard Cement Co.'S brands were pitted
against all other concerns in this coun-
try, both as to quality and price,
the awarding of such contract is VIC
tory that may well please the managers
and directors of this corporation.-
There are people in our own city who
have felt rather solicitous about the sue
cess Of the company, but they may
now rest easy. The Mankato Cement
stands to-day unrivalled in this country
for the excellence of its quality, and
challenges the admiration Of the world.
1t looks very much as though the
Standard Cement Co. had come to stay,
and although less than two years in
existence it now stands at the head of
all like corporate concerns in this coun-
try.
In view of this contract the Company
have decided to double the capacity of
the Mankato works the present season,
and their Akron IN. " works will be
to 5000 barrels per day, max
ing them the largest in the world.

BLAISDELL q MADISON,

Sole Props of Minnesota and Wisconsin.
The apparatus above described is of
recent invention, Mr.. Andrew Engle,
of Metz, Iowa, having conceived
the ingenious arrangement, and now
holds patent on the same. In brief,
it is designated to be placed in any resi-
dence, school house, hotel or other pub
lie building, and can be constructed to
suit the size of the house. It consists of
a furnace and reservoir for containing
sewage and waste matter of every sort
accommodating about the house. From
the reservoir funnel extends to the
floor above, which can be continued to
as many floors as the building contains,
and through which the matter is con-
veyed to the cremating reservoir below.
When desired or necessary fire can be
kindled in the furnace, which will, in
surprisingly short time consume the ac-
emulation, without rendering stencil or
odor to the premises, the smoke and
steam escaping by proper outlet. 1t is
so arranged that the matter can be en-
tirely cremated or reduced to state
which makes il a very good coal, which
can be utilized in future burnings. There
is an outward draft continually, which
carries away all orders thus Kidding the
inhabitants of the house of all unpleas-
antness from the reservoir. Messrs.
Blaisdell & Madison, of this city, are
agents for Minnesota and Wisconsin,
and have drafts and models. which can
be seen at Blaisdell's store any time. II
will repay anyone TO examine the Gre
mator for their own enlightment.

An Unfortunate Mistake.

A fatal accident has just occurred at
the st. Louis Hospital, in Paris. Two
male patients, one of whom was being
treated for Bright's disease. and the
other for tuberculosis, were ordered a
spoonful each of a certain mixture. The
principal attendant pupil in the apothe-
cary's department of the hospital made
a mistake in preparing the prescriptions,
and instead of the required mixture
sent up two doses of deadly poison to
the ward nurse. These were given to
tho two unfortunate patients, who, after
swallowing the fatal draughts, fell back
on their pillows and died without utter
ing a murmur or a moan. The Super
intendent of the hospital instantly held
an inquiry into the cause of the deaths,
and summoned the chief apothecary to
his assistance. The latter commune
Gated the result of his terrible mistake
to the attendant pupil, a young mar
who had passed a highly creditable ex-
animation in pharmacy before entering
the hospital three months ago. The
pupil became almost delirious with de
spair, and attempted to poison himself
on the spot. He was afterward allowed
provisional liberty pending his formal
arrest by the police.-Paris Figaro.
