A SAD ACCIDENT.

An accident befell Herman Balmes,
blacksmith at Kuntz's stone:quarry, We'd
nesday morning, which may result in
his death. 1t appears that a can of pow
der had been left in the shop, and a
spark from a red-hot iron which was be-
ing forged by Balmes ignited it. The
powder was but few feet distant from
the smith,: and while the explosion,
queer as it may seem, did not effect the
building, the blaze set fire to his cloth
ing and he was badly burned about his
face, lower limbs and back. In fact the
only portion of his person that escaped
was his breast. The protection afforded
by WOODEN vest saved him from being
burned there. Balmes ran out of doors
with his clothing in flames and only for
the prompt assistance rendered by the
quarrymen he would have been consum.
ed on the spot. Mr.. Balmes seems fat.
ed. 1t will be remembered that Dor.
ton of the brick work on the end of the
main building of the Fiber-Ware works
fell last fall, carrying him down some
thirty or forty feet and landing him
among pile of brick and rubbish. For
tunately he sustained no serious injury
at that time, and it is to be hoped tha
he may recover from the serious acct
dent which befell him Wednesday.

HOW WE PROGRESS.

Barring Mlnnaannlis ST Paul and
possibly one or two other CLUES, man
kato is pushing forward to metropolitan
proportions and municipal importa nee
in degree not equaled by any other of
our Minnesota towns. Within the past
five years this city has doubled in popu.
lation and now we can boast of over TO-
600 inhabitants. During that period no
less than five hundred residences have
been erected. Gas works second to
none in the state haye been put in and
the unlocked for demand made upon
the works has necessitated extensive
enlargement and increased capacity.
Within the brief time mentioned ce-
ment stone has been discovered here
and the finest works on the continent
have been erected and put in opera
ton which now send forth a quality of
cement not excelled by even the best
foreign manufacture. Pipe:works, where
sewerage pipe, well curbing, etc., are
made have also found place among our
manufacturing industries within half a
decade. Fire Clay, suitable for the pro-
duction of a superior quality of fire
brick has also been unearthed, and a
clay which is unsurpassed in this coun
try for the manufacture of drain tile is
numbered with the other discoveries.
Establishments have been erected and
are now in operation for the manufac-
ture of these articles, and a most Salts
factory business is being done.
A large Fiber-ware mandatory has
been erected, and gives promise of be-
ing one of the most important indus
tries in our city. 1t is not, as yet, in full
and complete operation, but will be as
soon as the machinery can be properly
adjusted to the intricate work it is des
tined to perform.
Our Linseed Oil mill has been doubled
in capacity, new wholesale grocery and
drug houses have been opened and many
other establishments of greater or less
Importance have been opened here
within the brief space of five years.
Last but not least among the many
features which have been added to oul
city and which is really essential to the
metropolitan airs ola thrifty municipality
is the street railway. 1t was put in opera
ton Friday morning and the first cal
which passed over the line created al
much attention as circus parade. Taken
altogether, Mankato is pushing, pros
j perOus city.

JUST WHAT WE WANT.

Mr.. I. NJ. Pugh, local agent for the
Winona Harvester Works. informs us
that his Company contemplate putting
up large warehouse in Mankato next
spring and make this city the general
distributing point for their machinery.
Even this season several carloads OF
harvesters have been shipped to Mr.. p.
for re-shipment to various points in this
locality. 1t is to be hoped the Winona
folks will carry out their present inten.
tons. There is no point in Southern
Minnesota, Southern Dakota or North.
ern Iowa that is so desirable to ship
from as Mankato, and with the establish
ment of general agency here, the Wi
mona Harvester would rapidly come tt
the front. We have the general agency
here now for several of the best ma
chimes made, and there is yet room fol
more.

of lump indigo, which had been sporv-
ed from the bowels of the odd machine.
Woodland was astounded with wonder
His stranger friend, with look of
proud satisfaction, appeared wise, but
said not word, his expression convey
ing more eloquently the famous remark
of Daniel Webster. "There she stands
look ut her." Woodard was half con-
verted already. He took the indigo
to chemist of established repu-
tation and had it analyzed. 1t proved
to be the genuine article, so he said.
The fly newspaper man was captured.
The production of the indigo cost so

81 Hundreds of thousands of pounds
were consumed annually. 1t looked
like sure fortune in sight. He has
tened to close q contract for a half
interest by the payment of S4, to the
serious and clerical-looking inventor,
who took him in with the understand
ing that he should share equally in the
profits, but should not possess himself
of the secret of the invention. Two
days were then spent in the manufac-
ture of indigo at the rate of about two
hundred pounds a day-a profit of $500
a day, $3.50 clean income to each part
ner every twenty-four hours. The inn
pecunious journalist was wild with de-
light. Then the senior partner disap-
peared; also the money which Wood
ard had put into the firm. He found
that he couldn't work the macnlne, and
after weeks of patient waiting for his
absent partner he had the machine taken
apart His hopes were blasted by the
denouement. All the drugs that had
been put in the hopper were skillfully
packed in side apartment of the struc-
ture; another apartment contained a
remnant of what had once been four
hundred pounds of pure indigo, which,
by an arrangement of belts and pulleys,
had been Systematically given out of the
spout while the machine was being fed
at the other end. Then it dawned on
the junior member that he was the vic
tim of well-conceived and well-de-
veloped job. Years after he accident
ally met the swindling and fraudulent
chemist in a restaurant in New York.
He beat him nearly to death, but that
was all the satisfaction he ever got out
of an investment of So, ,000.-San Fran

A Heartless Boy.

Boys OF certain age are sometimes
singularly lacking in every sentiment
of tenderness and feeling. When az
rived at tins trying age, boys are a
source of infinite terror and mortifica-
to their family and friends.
They have no secrets; they tell every
thing they know and more too.
A lady tells the following story in
illustration of the lack of feeling mani
tested by certain hobble-de-hoy boy at
time of general sorrow among other
members of his family.
The family was poor and ignorant,
says the lady. II heard one day that
an older daughter of the family had
died suddenly and / went over to the
house to see if | could be of any assis-
tance.
II found the entire family, with the
exception Of boy of 10 years, giving
way to the most violent grief There
was such hub-bub l could hardly make
myself heard when l spoke.
"After nearly an hours effort sue
ceeded in quieting the family down,
and was about to take my departure
when a girl of Is or 16 suddenly glanc-
ed over her shoulder in the direction of
the corpse and screamed out:
"'Oh, my poor sister Nanny' The
boy referred to scowled furiously,
clenched his fist, and flying across the
room gave the weeping girl vigorous
blow, saying rs he did so:
"'Now yOu! you want to start NAV
up agin', hey?'
"His reproof came too late. Nav
was started up agin',' and all my eff
folts to calm her and the rest of the
screaming family were unayailing. y
