GRATIFYING SUCCESS.

The entertainment given at the
opera-house Saturday night for the
benefit of the sufferers of the Andrews
Opera Company was most gratifying
success, both in point of attendance
and excellence of program. The peo-
pie of Mankato have many times paid
an admission fee largely in excess OF
that charged Saturday night to listen
to decidedly inferior entertainment,
and to the credit of those who partici-
pated in the program be it said the
response of appreciation exhibited by
the audience at the conclusion of each
number proved that they met the
highest anticipation of the listeners.
Where all did so well it would be a
waste of speech to particularize, and
the generous response of the citizens
is creditable to the sympathetic com.
position which possesses the hearts OF
our people when fatalities and disas-
tiers befall those who have some claims
upon US as community, and whose
unfortunate condition appeals to the
finer sensibilities of the human pulse,
The net receipts amount to $3.50
sum in excess even of what was an
ticipated.

A SAD CASE.

On Thursday night about eleven
o'clock, while passing through one of
the alleys in the lover part of the
city, officer Kelly found young wom-
an of about twenty-five years Of age
in a state of intoXication. He at
once took her to police headquarters
and made her a comfortable bed in
one of the cells.
The young woman shows that she
has had quite an experience in the
affairs of the world, but still possesses
much of that which some call ''beau-
ty." With that deep sense of realiza.
ton that comes to all who see the
wrongs, she was willing to accept any
plan that might be suggested for her
reformation. She comes from good
family, it is said, and inasmuch as she
has relatives near this city, we re-
frain from using her name. Saturday
morning Chief Yates took her to the
House of the Good Shepherd, at ST.
Paul, where it is hoped she will be
benefited and come forth into the
world again a true, intelligent and
Industrious woman, forgetting the
things of the past with determine
tion to become what God designed she
should be.

AN ELEGANT EDIFICE.
That is What the New Presbyterian
Church Will be When Com
pleted. Plans and Speci
ticatiOns Now on
Exhibition.

The plans and specifications of the
new Presbyterian church are on eX-
hibition at the Office of Mr.. w. NJ.
Farr, Esq.
Sometime ago the trustees OF the
church purchased the northwest cor
ner OF South Third and e. Hickory
streets for something like $1,000. The
new edifice is to be built of Mankato
stone, and in this, the trustees have
shown wise public spirit as well as
fine taste in recognizing it's claims and
possibilities of our quarries.
The structure is to be built in the
most modern style of such buildings
and will cover space of about 72xl32
feet.
The interior is to be modelled after
the First Presbyterian church of Min
neapolis, which is recognized as one of
the most convenient and beautiful
church buildings in the northwest.
The audience room will be about
64x64 feet in size, with an elegant and
graceful gallery. 1t will have hand
some pipe organ which will have a
place in one of the corners, the seats
being arranged on the ampitheatrical
style. The pulpit and choir will be
directly in front of the organ, so that
when the Sunday school doors are
opened the entire audience can see
plainly and hear distinctly.
The Sunday school room will be
nearly go feet square, the seating
capacity being more than that of the
present church. The woodwork is to
be hard wood finish and will be one of
of the elegant and best adapted rooms
in Minnesota. 1t will be so arranged
that the bible class rooms can be shut
off from the main assembly room dur
ing recitation hour.
In the basement, there will be a
well-arranged kitchen, pantry, ETC.,
to be used on such occasions as socials
and fairs.
! 1t is calculated that when the au-
dience and Sunday school rooms are
thrown together, it will have seat
ing capacity for about 1920 persons.
All of the apartments will be OF
| the most substantial and elegant
character and without Question it will
be an ornament to the city and a
credit to the Presbyterian society.
The building committee, consists OF
of Messrs. r. d. Hubbard, W. M
Farr and Geo. e. Brett. Mr.. Hubbard
was chosen a member of the com
mittee at his own volitiOn, he being
conyerSant with church plans and
thoroughly interested in having a
new church building.
1t is expected that soon after the
construction of the church, the trus.
tees intend to add parsonage on the
Third street side in the general style
of the church.

in the idea that a cracker factory

DISPATCHED HIS LAST TRAIN.

Mr.. Ed. W. Osborne, who for three
years acted as a train dispatcher on
the Omaha line and whose post of du-
ty was in this city, died a few days
ago, at the home of his parents, VINO
live at St. Thomas, Ontario.
The disease which caused his death
was that dreaded one, consumption.
When he realized that 1t was taxing
his very life's blood away from him,
he decided to take trip to the Pa
cific coast, in the hope that the change
of climate and occupation might give
him new vigor and life. But it was
not to be. Feeling as though the end
was fast approaching he turned in
his passes which had been granted
him for the west and decided to go to
the home of those who loved him as
only parents can love. He received a
royal welcome to the family fireside,
but his stay was short. Within As
hours from the time he stepped over
the threshold of the old homestead.
he breathed his last, surrounded by
loving hands and warm but trem'
bling hearts.
The deceased was very popular with
all who met him either socially or in
business way He leaves a wife and
little baby girl to mourn his loss,
besides a great many friends in this
city and the scenes of his youth.

SCENES AND INCIDENTS.
Taken From Every Day Life In Man
katO.

Seated in the parlor of resident of
this city, the other evening, he drew
several beautiful and suggestive pic
lures of the home and the American
| fireside. After speaking of the edu-
cation of early years and how children
were guided by the mothers and faith
ers OF those days he said: Whether we
view the family home from the divine
side, starting with the marriage GER
emOny, or whether we view it from
the side of it's human and legal rela-
tions, we who are true to ourselves,
regard the home institution as the
very centre and care of all human ex-
| istence.
Show me the home that has been
neglected and disregarded and | will
show you place that lacks the no.
blest qualities of the human race and
where ultimately you will find saw
agery and barbarism.
One Of the noblest ambitions of any
man is to possess a home that he can
call home.
1t is in the home that independence
is most to be found. How satisfac-
tory it is when worn and tired out, or
when ailing with any illness of body
or mind, to be alone with those we
are proud to call our kin. The home
fireSide is where true taste and refine
ment are best cultivated. But let
me say to you in conclusion that it is
in the Christian home, in the center
of which is reared the family altar
that the greatest joys of this world
are experienced. AS we drop out by
| the way and are at peace with our
maker, can we leave our children any
more sacred memory than that which
centres around the genuine home
tireSide?"

O'Clock, several boys with Sieds, as

ground near the railway track, and
while the SledS came to sudden halt,
the boys continued to slide for several
feet. Boys, the police have given
