"A friend OF MIR. II. 7. Christensen
writes him: "Allow me to congratu-
late you on your improvements scheme
and it's apparent successful realiZa-
ton. l feel enthused even at this
distance and am persuaded that /
would as soon 60 to Mankato and
take hold of some business as any
where else."
Mr.. H. Graham, head brakeman
on the night accommodation on the
Omaha line has his arm nearly cut off
near the elbow, at Kasota, on Wednes-
day night, while in the freight
yard. He fell and in some manner
his arm got under the wheel. He was
brought to this city and placed in
Tourtellotte hospital. He was re-
ported as doing quite well this after
noon.
Albert Lea Standard: John
Flindt, of Pickerel Lake, was paid
S123.44 for the milk from 10 COWS, at
the Manchester creamery last month,
Elwood Noble received $1,000 from Is
COWS, and these are only samples of
what scores of farmers throughout
the county are realizing every month.
The creameries are a gold mine to
their patrons and are rapidly making
the farmers rich.
ALBERT Lea Enterprise: Mankato is
moving for beet sugar factory and
the Board of Trade is wrestling with
the project. The value of such an in
stitution to a town is apparent and
Mankato will use every means in it's
power to secure the new industry. 1t
is the establishment of enterprises of
this kind that make a city more than
a country village.
When the committee secured the
name of Chas. Bennett for three shares
of stock in the improvement Com
pany today, they thanked him, where
upon Mr.. Bennett replied that he
needed no thanks, as he believed the
investment if successful would pay
him several times that amount. This
is the spirit with which our citizens
ought to enter into the scheme
The Pierce County, Wis, Herald
has the following to say of Prof. J. T.
rMcCleary, of this city:
Prof. J. T. McCleary, one of Pierce
N fcsv
prominent candidate for Congress
over in John Lind'S district in
Minnesota. He ought to have the
nomination. He is, and always has
been, a straight forward Republican,
he is honest, he is able and he is loyal
to his friends. He would make
worthy successor of John Lind and a
Legislator OF whom Minnesota would
well be proud. Success to our old
friend McCleary.
The members of Mankato Lodge
1. o. o. F. No. Is, to the number of
about %, went to Madelia to confer
degree work, on Wednesday after
noon. They were jolly crowd, seat
ed in one of the Omaha palace cars,
which was secured for their especial
purpose. Arriving at the depot, were
met by the Madelia boys who escorted
them to the Flandreau House where
an excellent repast was served, after
which they repaired to the Hall and
there put in the greater part of the
evening and night in good solid work
and entertainment. The Madelia
boys know how to entertain, if the
verdict of our boys is any criterion to
go by. Taken all in all, it was one of
the best visits the members have had
in many years. The meeting was en-
joyed by the representative men of
the town who take an interest in fra
a5ernal societies. The boys arrived
home early next morning with a
standing invitation to come again.
Many of our boys had never had the
privilege of visiting Madelia and all
are loud in their praise of the town
and its generous citizens. There is
another meeting to be arranged for in
the near future further west, but the
date has not been decided upon.
