the first and ninth innings neither
side was able to tally score. The
Spauldings are an excellent club, but
the Mankato club was in prime con-
dition, and played in such manner
as to redeem themselves from the
charges of putting up hlppodrome
games.
In the first inning Messerly batted
the ball over the fence and let in
three scores.
In the second inning Mankato
made a double play.
In the sixth, Egan was put out
while attempting to steal second

Mankato-Desmond %, Reed If,
Messerly 30, Levendusky SIS, Wattles
Id, Day IF, Griggs c, Hopkins CT,
Howe p.
Spauldings-Regan SIS, Jordan 3b,
Murnane Id, Butcher If, Redington 20,
Egan RI, Lynch CT, Snow C, Munich p.
The score was as follows:

Spauldings. .......0 0 90 0 0 0 0 90

years ago purchased one of your Belts in the
hope that its use might afford me some relief,
and wore 1t continuously as directed for about
four hours every afternoon for month or so,
and the result wac perfectly marvellous. My
indigestion with all its attendant miseries, ner-

from which latter was a great sufferer, have
disappeared. I then discontinued the use Of the
Belt (the existence Of which had indeed for.

recurrence Of my old trouble very forcibly
reminded me of it. I again put it into wear

these circumstances l can most emphatically

DROPPED DEAD.
CORONER ZACH. PADDOCK
STRICKEN WITH APOPLEXY.
He Fell Over in the rlinneopa House
House Barn at Few Moments Af-
ter Three O'clock Tuesday =
Was Not Feeling Well Lately--A
Brief Biography of One of Our
Oldest and Most Respected Settlers.

County Coroner Zach. Paddock died
suddenly at few moments after
three o'clock Tuesday afternoon, in
the Minneopa House barn. He
was apparently in his usual
health when he stepped into the
barn with paper in his hand and
started to hand it to Mr.. Nourse,
with the words, "WeIl, here is the
paper" He said no more, but fell
forward on ibis face, step or two
within the door, striking the floor
with his head and receiving bruise
above his left eye. He groaned once
or twice but did not move. Chas.
McBeth and Thos. Ballard, the latter
of Decoria, were present, and turned
Mr.. Paddock over, and sent for ply
Sicians. In few moments Drs.
Andrews, Harrington and Warner
arrived, and after brief examination
pronounced Mr.. Paddock dead. The
wife brother and son were at once no.
titled, and the two latter soon ar
rived, and shortly afterwards the re-
mains were removed to the residence
a block away.
The physicians agreed that death
was due to apopleXy. Mr.. Paddock
had always been robust and healthy,
and never had previous touch of
this disorder, but of late had not been
quite as we'll as formerly. The at
tack and sudden taking off of Mr..
Paddock were alike unexpected and a
shock to the community. The news
quickly spread, and many of the
friends of the deceased, particularly
the old settlers, gathered about and
went to the house and offered their
consultations and services.
The deceased was born in Cayuga
county, New York, and was II years
of age. He moved to Wisconsin, and
from there to Mankato in 1858, and
following six years after by his
brother, W. W. Paddock In the six
ties he served for eight years as
SISIA vi Uuc ulSUIlCU court, anu
during the seventies ran grocery
store. He was at various times en-
gagged in the contracting business,
generally on city work. He at one
time studied law, and was admitted
TO the bar. He served three or four
terms as county coroner, and was fill
ing that office at the time of his death
Mr.. Paddock leaves widow and
four children, Valley Paddock, who
lives at San Diego, Cal, Thomas Pad
dock, who lives IN Nevada, Mrs. H. B
Barnard, of Vernon Center, and
Harry, of this city. One brother VIM.
w, and one sister, Mrs. W. L. Coon,
survive him. .#
The deceased was highly respect
ed citizen, and one who had hosts of
friends all over the county. He was
progressive in his views, self-sacriic-
ing, and Industrious. His death casts
shadow over the community, which
was lily prepared to learn of it. AS
one Of the oldest settlers, he did much
for the upbuilding of the city. The
house occupied by H. Z. Jensen, at
the corner of Broad and Cherry
streets, was built by him in 1858.
The stricken family has the sympathy
of all in their sudden bereavement.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY.
PnIo Alto stock to BE Sold to Keep
the College I'm Funds.

SAN FRANCISCO. July 2S.-Mrs. Leland
Stanford has been at Palo Alto consulting
with President Jordan about the opening OF
Stanford University in September. Mrs.
Stanfords finances will not permit Of any
expenditures that are not absolutely neces-
sary. but she will be able to furnish money
to run the institution on the same plan as
last year. Mr.. Jordan has submitted esti-
mates showing that the university can be
conducted without impairing its efficiency
for $4,000 a month. Mrs. Stanford, in order
10 raise the money, will sell of the stock on
the Palo Alto ranch. There are now on the
farm six hundred head of fine horses. One
auction sale will be held in New York and
another in San Francisco. The income
from Palo Alto and Vina ranches has not
been large enough to keep the university
going, and in order to keep IL open Mrs.
Stanford has been obliged TO hypothecate
some of her railroad bonds, and the same
course will be necessary to secure funds for
the support of the university during the
coming year. 1t is understood that Mrs.
Stanford is now negotiating heavy loan
on bonds of the Southern Pacific of Arizona
and New Mexico. Owing to this financial
embarrassment Mrs. Stanford is very
anxious TO have the government suit
against the estate settled as soon as pos
sible. 1t is understood that an agreement
has been reached among the counsel to
have the proper papers filed with the Court
of Appeals at very early date.
