of his father, 12O Carroll street at six

days His parents removed to this
city from Pleasant Prairie, Wis,

brother of G. A. Everhart, Of the
candy factory, and is employed in it's
interests. Alfred was bright little
boy, of lovable disposition, and a
general favorite with all who knew
him, and his death is a sad blow to
his parents, who have the sympathy
of all in their great bereavement.
The funeral will take place at the
house on Monday at Pollock p. m.
Preparations for the coming po-
litical campaign were begunlast night
by the organizing of a Scandinavian
Republican club at Williams hall.
More than 100 persons became mem
beers of the club, each one determining
to do all that is possible for good gov
eminent. Mr.. A. r. Exile was elected
president and Mr.. Emil Peterson, sec
rotary. Enthusiasm prevailed during
the meeting, and it is anticipated
that great things will be done by the
Scandinavians between this and next
November. The political pot is just
commencing to simmer, but in a short
time it will be boiling.
The Minneapolis Tribune of yes
terday morning contained the follow
ing: H Carney and f. D. Wood
bury, president and civil engineer re-
spectively of the recently organized
Mankato and Northeastern railway,
came in from Mankato last evening.
The surveys of the line have already
been made. 1.-THE work of construc-
ion will be started as soon as the
weather will permit in the spring."
said Mr.. Woodbury., in talking about
the enterprise at the Nicollett last
evening. "When it was said the road
would run through a portion of the
very garden of Minnesota it was alb
solutely correct. The lowest wheat
average in any of the counties imme-
diately interested in this road, last
year, was % bushels to the acre. Then
there are other vast interests besides
agriculture. The people of Mankato
and adjoining counties have shown
commendable interest in this enter
prise"
Lake Crystal Mirror: Mr.. D. M.
White, the creamery man, arrived in
Lake Crystal Wednesday night, to,
gether with Mr.. P. J. CUTLER, of Ken,
yon, a prominent creamery man. TIC
a Mirror reporter Mr.. White stated
that the prospects were very good fol
the rebuilding of the creamery as
soon as the weather will permit. II
is probable that the creamery viii
also arrange to take Mr.. Davis but
ter house. No other one industry
will yield more substantial benefit tt
the town and surrounding countr,
than properly managed creamery.
-Winona Republican: The Chicago
Milwaukee & ST. Paul railway will
make trial of new locomotive thi
week, built by the Baldwin Locomo
tive Works of Philadelphia, Pennsyl

motive will show principle of grea
economy in the use of fuel and water
: while it's power will greatly exceed
that of the ordinary locomotive. 1t
!: superiority consists in its equipment
!; being fitted with four powerful cylin
, ders. In other respects it resemble
!, the ''mogul" engine now in use OF
j freight trains. The first run of thi
, new machine is expected to demon
, strate the success or failure Of tn
new idea.
