A FOREST FIRE SCARE.
Mill Valley Alarmed by a Blaze in
the RedWoodS.

Mill Valley suffered pretty severe scare a:
part of it's holiday yesterday. A cloud Of
smoke rose up about the crest Of Mount Tam
alpais and down in the valley came visions OF
the forest fires OF Illinois.
The fact is, the town and the great redwood
forest had very narrow escape.
Ben johnson, gamekeeper of the preserves OF
the Tamalrais Club. discovered a running fire
IN the grass up among the redwoods, about six
mfles from Mill Nalley,a about o'clock in the
afternoon. lie chased il awhile himself, but il
spread and ran away from him. He called 10
Tom Miller. Billy Herman and others OF party
passing and they joined In The fight, which
lasted nearly all the afternoon. About three
acres of underbrush aud grass were burned
over before the fire was finallysOvercome.
News reached Mill Valley of the fire and for
time great excitement prevailed there. Sew
eral wag0n-loads OF people went out and the
railroad authorities sent out all the men they
coud spare. among them being corps Of Chi
nese laborers. When they reached the scene,
however, the work was done-the fire was out.
Those engaged IN the fight say that with lit
tie better start by The bre or more taToy action
In combating il the redwoOds would have gone
beyond hone, as everything in The viclniIy Is
dry as tilder.

There are so many British vessels In port

unusually strong eleven OF crieketers to meet

While the sailor lads were wOrsted in the fight,
they played good game from start TO finish,

ANOTHER CHURCH.

The trustees of the Methodist
church held a meeting last night, at
which the question of the erection
of new church was considered. The
trustees voted to remove the old
church and build in it's place hand
some structure to cost about $4,000.
Architect Thayer was employed to
prepare the plans, and is now at work
on them. The new building is to
have frontage of SiXty-one feet, and
be hundred feet deep 1t will be
constructed of brick and stone, and
will have a much larger seating capa-
city than the present building, which
has long been so over-crowded that it
has been generally felt that a larger
building was necessary.
The original plan of improving the
church was to build an addition in
front to the street, but the congrega-
tion will not now be satisfied with
such patchwork, and they feel that if
a new church is to be built it can
never be done so cheaply as today.
Mr.. Thayer states that the new
church will be every bit as handsome
as the new Presbyterian church. The
building is to be erected this summer,
and the members of the church are to
be congratulated upon this move.
They show healthy and commenda-
BILE enterprise.

HOTTEST ON RECORD.

The temperature assembled to 90 de-
greeS above zero in shade Tuesday af-
ternoon. Monday the highest point
reached was So degrees. This is I'M
dOubtedly the hottest weather ever
experienced in Mankato during the
first half of May since the white set
tiers came. Such high temperature
as that OF this afternoon is expected
only on two or three days of August,
and then the air is so dry that there
is not the suffering that there is on
such day as this. A violent reaction
in the weather is highly probable.
The friends of W. W. Mendenhall,
Of Rapidan, are talking of bringing
him out as a candidate for commits
sioner in the fourth district. Mr..
Mendenhall is an enterprising and
progressive young man and would I'M
questionably be elected if placed on
the ticket. Mr.. Hannay is the pres
ent commissioner from that district,
and if he desires reelection he would
go in by larger majority than ever
before, as his manly independence as
a member of the board has commend
ed itself to all who have observed his
course. We are not informed whether
he will be a candidate again, but if
he concludes to retire at this time,
the district could not go .amiss by
selecting the kind of man that Mr..
Mendenhall is.
Mr. w. w. P. Mcconnell has re-
ceived telegram from Congressman
McCleary in which he says: "Draw-
ings of the government building have
been completed and photographed,
and the specifications are now being
manipulated. Bids will be advertised
for next week" This will be good
news to our citizens and If carried out
promptly will insure the enclosing of
the superstructure before cold weather
sets in next fall.
The contract which Alderman
Widell secured, for furnishing 1,2OO
carloads of stone to the Chicago &
Northwestern road, mentioned yester-
day, will necessitate his putting fifty
more men at work for the season.
This stone will be delivered through
the summer, and part of it will be
used for bridge at Owatonna.
Theodore Sherk has become man.
ager of the Cassidy Packing Co.'S meat
mearket, at the corner of Front and
Jackson streets. His friends will be
glad to meet him there. Mr.. Miner,
the former manager, leaves for Den
yer the latter part of the week.
B. Roemer announces that he is

tion of the 4th of July at his summer
garden, of which due notice will be
