MIR. c. j. Klein is very sick again.
Geo. B. Owen has furnished Rev.
Whitney, of Adrian, Mich, with an
Estey piano in walnut case.
Mr.. Herbert Loomis and Miss Ma
bel Hill, both Of Lake Crystal, were
married yesterday afternoon by Judge
Torrey.
H. c. Gerlach is getting out plans
for $1,000 residence for Fred Kron,
which is to be erected at the corner of
Third and Main streets. The location
is fine and the residence will be one Of
the finest in the city.
MIR. J. III. Sails, formerly of Lake
Crystal, has bought the Central Phar-
macy, corner Hem epin avenue and
10Th street. The Union says Mr.. Sails
will remove his family to Minneapolis
in about two weeks.
All those who trade s25 worth at
the Model Clothing House get one
years subscription to the FREE PRESS
free. If
-St.John's Episcopal church is to be
enlarged by the addition of chancel
twenty feet deep and sixteen wide,
flanked by robing and library rooms
twelve feet square. The addition
will be of brick. A Guild room is
also planned for of the same area with
the chancel. Work will be begun at
once.
Mr.. Lewis Temple, of Lake Crys-
tai, has purchased standard Estey
piano of Geo. B. Owen.
Mr.. Jno. G. Wise, Jr., will, on
Sept. 1st, take up his residence at
Candy, Mimi, where he assumes the
cashiership of bank. The FREE
PRESS ventures the hope that John
may find his new business relations
pleasant and as profitable as he could
wish.
About eight o'clock last evening
an engine on the Omaha road was
toiling up the grade south of the depot
and when nearly opposite the Episco-
pal church cylinder head blew out
with loud report that brought a
crowd of people to the spot to see
what it was all about. Of course no
harm was done except that the train
was delayed until another engine
could be hitched on and the old one
laid up for repairs.
The Lake Crystal Union says that
owing to want of interest on the
part of the farmers the creamery at
that place recently destroyed by fire
will not be rebuilt. 1t is rather queer
that farmers who know the benefits
and profits of such an institution will
not arouse themselves. The Union
shows by figures that patrons of the
creamery in July received more than
twice the amount from the products
of their milk that could have been de-
rived from the private dairy, and be-
sides a great amount of labor was
saved which does not figure IN the re-
turns. There is no good excuse for
farmers to kick when they will persist
in remaining oblivious to their own
interests in matters of this kind.
Work is about completed on the
new High school building, with the
exception of putting in the furniture.
This is by several degrees the hand
soonest, most convenient, and best
equipped High school building in
Southern Minnesota. Perfect heat
ing and ventilation, a we'll planned
laboratory, large gymnasium, con-
venient library, broad, easy stairways,
and the architectural beauty, are
some of the features that contribute
to it's excellence and utility. A de-
tailed description would hardly give
one an adequate idea of the various
advantages. One should take a trip
through the rooms and find out all
about it. The High school teachers
and students, the board of education,
and the city of Mankato are to be con-
graduated upon the completion of this
important addition to their educa-
tional facilities.
