Children Cry foH

Do CHILDREN PAY !?

"Do children pay?" said old man scraggs, a.
leanin on his hoe.
Just wait till you've been married say, some 20
years or so.
You'll have more sense than to stand UP there
and throw your time away
By askin' sech foolish questions. PAY Great
gosh! Of course they pay
We go home tuckered out at night, they climb
upon our knees,
And when we try to put em down they cry for
one more squeeze.
And rear and pitch about us ali until, fust thing
we know,
Our joints are free from aching and our hearts
are in a glow.
They pay US when their frank young love shines
IN their Jolly eyes;
Even when our ears are deadened there's nlu-
sic in their cries
sweeter than all the fiddles or planners ever
made
Don't think it's so? Well now you wait and
member what I've said.
The man whose children's hearts are his is the
man who is truly blest,
The sight at home of his boys and gals is more
to him than rest.
swow! There wouldn't be hafth fools in this
weary world to-day
If all men only could understand what big in
trus' children pay

BOY INJURED.

Sunday afternoon between ) and
o'clock a young lad named Otto
Manke met with an unfortunate
though not dangerous accident while
playing in the stone quarry on Second
street Otto has been living for sew
eral years with John r. Thomas of
Odjard & Knoff's furniture store. He
obtained permission to spend the at
ternoon with some playmates, and
while in the aforesaid quarry, stand
ing barefooted upon large flat rock
a loose stone from a pile near by fell,
striking him upon the left foot and
severing three toes. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that the foot was so bad
~ mangled he walked home, over a
mile Dr. Andrews was called imme-
diately and dressed the wound, am
putating the remaing toes.
At best the stone Quarries are dan
gerous play grounds, and this acct
dent should prove a warning to all
boys to keep away from such places.

INSTANTLY KILLED.
August T. Post Crushed to Death 10y
a Falling Stone at Widell's
Quarry.

A most deplorable accident occurred
at Widdell's stone quarry Friday morn
ing, which caused the instant death
of a young Swede about 20 years Old,
by the name of August f. Post.
This young man had charge OF one
of the derricks, and when placed there
received positive instructions from
his employer to always use care not to
expose himself to injury from the pos
sible falling of stone, or in any way
take chances of getting hurt.
This morning while hosting large
stone with the derrick and when
swinging the same around, it struck
an adjacent ledge, the force of the
blow causing it to break from the
tongues which held it. Young Post,
at the time stood directly under the
stone and in its decent he was struck
on the head and crushed to the earth.
Death must have been instantaneous
as he was badly mangled from the
weight of the stone.
The young man came from sweden
about three months ago. An older
brother who also works for Mr.. Wild
ell, preceded him about eight years,
and the two were the only members OF
his family in this country, save an
uncle who resides in St. Paul.
The coroner was summoned and the
body Immediately removed to Klein's
undertaking establishment where it
was properly dressed and cared for.
No inquest was held. as the coro-
ner cleaned sufficient facts to con-
vince him that it was one of those &C
cidents where no blame can attach to
any one save the poor fellow whose
life was so suddenly put out through
his own indiscretion.
During the several years which Mr..
Widell has been operating stone quar-
ries, having in his employ from IS to
$50 men, this is the first accident that
has ever occurred. and in this he is
entirely blameless.
The funeral services were held at
o'clock at Klein's undertaking rooms,
being attended by quite number OF
friends of the deceased. The remains
were buried in the Lutheran GENE.

TENTS AT THE FAIR.
A Popular Feature for Farmers.
Full Details of the Plan.
How the State Fair Management En-
cOurageS the Farmers Institutes.

A peculiarly striking feature of the
Minnesota State Fair, which will be
held at Hamline midway between ST.
Paul and Minneapolis from Septem-
Der It'll to 18th, will be. the city of
tents occupied by the farmers who
take advantage of the liberal arrange
ments provided. Tents for those who
may desire them will be furnished by
the state, free of COST. and pitched
within the grounds and adjacent to
the Farmers Institute hall, where
the Institutes will be held. The tents
will be conspicuously numbered, and
the streets of the encampment named.
Straw will be obtainable on the
ground at a low cost.
The tents, which are those used by
the State Militia in the annual en-
campments, are of the "wall' variety
and large enough to comfortably lodge
six people. The outfit needed by oc-
cupants will be such blankets and
bedding as each may wish. with pals,
wash basins, towels, etc. Food OF
some kinds can also be brought if de-
sired: hot coffee will be on sale at a
low cost to those who wish to "board
themselves" 1t will be wise to bring
rubber clothing and umbrellas, for
with them and comfortable tents
there need be no great discomfort
even on a possible rainy day.
Though there are a great many
tents still there is final limit and
already applications are in for many
of them. The outlook now is that the
supply will not be equal to the de-
mand, but first come, first served
will be the rule. Put in applications
at once to Supt. o. G. Gregg, No.
1925 9th ST. S. E., Minneapolis, when
tent space will be reserved and it's
number and location sent to appli-
cants as soon as possible, so that on
arrival they can 60 at once to the
tents which will be their homes while
they stay. Families can be grouped
together, and companies from any one
town or county will be located in adj
jacent tents.
1t is the aim of the fair manage
ment to give the farmers of the state
an opportunity to attend the state
| fair at the lowest reasonable cost, but
at the same time we must help main
tain the legitimate fair expenses by
| the purchase of tickets of admission
One season ticket (good for the entire
fair) costs So. Tickets for one admis
sion only are SOC for each adult, and
for children under twelve years of age
25c. All who plan to attend the fail
and wish to secure the advantages OF
the campfield with the use of tents
should write Immediately to Superin
tendent Gregg.

Henry and Nina Thompson rented
a quarter section of land last spring,
paying $3.50 for the use of the land.
They put in 80 acres of fax and the
balance, 100 acres, to wheat. Their
wheat amounted to s1,6S4, and the
fax remains. Quite profitable en-
terprise.
So far the Mirror has learned of no
damage to crops in this vicinity by
frost.

MAPLETON MENTION,
From the Enterprise,

FROM IQ0 enterprise,
S. w. Cornell makes the best wheat
report we have received so far this
season from this locality. From II
acres he realized Alp bushels or 34s
bushels to the acre. His oats yielded
80 bushels to the acre.
We have said enough about the
wheat crop lately,so we dry up on that
cereal and commence on the fax crop.
The popular product has moved rather
slow SO far, but clear the track for it
is coming. Geo. Clark, of Sterling, we
think, is the first man to bring in a
load, which he did on Wednesday, and
got SOC. Yield Il bushels-pretty
good.
Three hundred acres of wheat was
raised on the Willard & Fuller farm
and it is all threshed and marketed.
1t was not big crop. but the good
price at which itwas sold will warrant
the proprietors in taking a days shoot
ing next week and taking in the coun-
ty fair.
1t can hardly be said that new wheat
has commenced to come in as yet, al
though our buyers have purchased
nearly $4,000 bushels, which represents
s12,750, at the price paid, which has
been distributed to the farmers of
this section during the past ten days.
This, however, is but a drop in the
bucket, as very few have commenced
to haul in their crops

IMPORTANT ENTERPRISE !.

The most important new enterprise
in the city, at present, is the packing
house of Cassidy & Mason, which is in
the course of erection. This is loca-
ted on one half of a block on Willow
street, between Elm and Rock streets,
fronting on the former. The bull
ding proper is 106x62 feet, but joined
to this are two additions, one 20x30
feet, on the North and another 12X16
on the East side. The foundations
are broad, firm and high, giving album
dance of room below. Mr.. Craig has
the contract for the stone work, and
will finish his portion of the structure
in ten days. One part of the building
will be three stories in height, while
the remainder will be two stories, all
built of brick. o. r. Mather is the
contractor for this work.
In the main building will be found
the slaughter room and the cold stor-
age, both occupying two floors. All of
the killing and cutting will be done
on the second floor of the slaughter
room, while the lower floor will beused
for the rendering of all kinds of sau-
sage and the like.
In the cold storage department the
picking of meats will occupy the low
er floor, while carcasses of cattle and
hogs and dry salt meats can be found
On the second floor. Above the latter
will be the room for the ice, with a
capacity of 1000 tons, enough for an
entire season. The cooling room is to
have two apartments, the one for cat
tie, the other for hogs, and both will
be well lighted for the benefit of buy
ers, when they wish to purchase,
The north wing will contain the
the smoke house and the latest i'm
provements and appliances for carry
ing cattle and hogs on tracks, weigh
ing them on the same, etc. For exam
pie the hogs, as soon as they reach
the killing room, will be lifted by
steam power to track over head,
and sent to man near at hand who
sticks them. Thence on to the cut
ting room. If desired, the animals
may be sent to the cooling room i'm
mediately after being killed and be
dressed after the butcher has made
| his selection.
The. air in the cold storage room
will be dry and the temperature and
ventilation fully regulated.
Mr.. TT. Barrowman, the architect
is from Kearney Neb., where he has
erected one of the finest establish
ments of it's kind in the West. After
seeing this, Mr.. Cassidy determined tt
have a similar one and therefore
brought the architect to Mankato.
An artesian we'll will furnish water
and two railroads will lay tracks tt
the building.
The capicity of the house will be
200 hogs and so cattle daily. Every
thing is expected to be in readiness
for operatiOn by Nov. 1St.
