GLASS BLOCK
A Description of Longini
&Thoms' Magnificent
New Department
Store.
A Building of Brick, Steel
and Glass, Complete
in Every Detail.
A Floor Space Clover 80,
600 Feet, All Modern
I'm prove m emit S,
and Handsome
in Design.

The plans are now SO far along for
the new GAonginia& Thoms glass block
that detailed description is now pos
sible, and the FREE RREss takes
pleasure in giving it's readers a COM
Dlete account of the Building and
ibusiness, so far as has&oeen decided
upon Beyond revocation.
First, as to the firm itself. Messps.
Isidor Longipi and Geo. w. Thoms
have associated themselves together
in a partnership, under the name Of
Longini,& Thoms. They viii build a
splendid building at she southwest
corner of Front and Jackson streets,
to be called the ''Glass Block and
which well ,Gaerits the name, as the
description following&il show. This
entire building they will occupy with
a department store, complete in all it's
details, and on the lines of the great
Segel, Cooper s. Co. department store
in Chicago 1t will carry more lines
of -stSck, or rather departments, than
Donaldson's at Minneapolis. Loagini
& ThCms have plenty of capital to put
into the business. AMI expect to at
tract trade from long sdistances from
the city. Inrspeakingeon this feature
.of the matter this morning, Mr..
LongiGi said:
81 have no sSoubt bEt that the store
will dgaw custom from all points
Within.a circle of sewenty-tive miles.
We expect it will dc this, and it will
prove a,great thing for Mankat0 aleng
all lines Of basinesS, by drawing in
people TO trade, who would not other
wise coae to Mankato. This will ;be
caused by the reasonable prices we
shall charge, which we will be enabled
to do by purchasing i'm large quaint
ties directly from the manufacturer,
and thus receiving the profit naGae hy
the sobbers and middle-men."
The firm has not yet decided fully
AS tosthe lines of stock tOtbe carried.
They expect to have the building
completed 6y August LIST, and to open
the store by September lst. Work on
the building4will begin May LIST, and
Will beDushed with all rapiaity.
The members of the firm are too
we'll and favoEably kaown to need any
Introduction. They are both prudent
and ,enterprising business men, who
have made a success OF their separate
affairs in the past, and are going in
for success in the future. Mr.. Lopgini
has been liz business in ..Mankato for
twenty years, aad Mr. Thoms for
fifteen gears. Both are young meD,. in
the prime of lite, fall of Uigor and the
spirit of enterprise which is to make
Mankato a metropolitan city in the
future.

SETTLED THE BILL.

At the request of Chief Yates,
Sheriff Bowen went to ;Kasota Satur-
day morning, served the warrant for
the arrest of Chas. Erickson, who was
charged with skipping board bill at
the st. Paul house last fall. He was
brought to this city this afternoon,
and admitted that he owed the bill,
but said that he had been unable to
pay it. The bill amounted to $3.50,
besides the court costs, and Erickson
had about 81 with him, which he
paid, and promised to pay the balance
Monday. 10 give him an opportunity

AN ASSIGNMENT
w. c. STEGNER FINDS HIMSELF
IN DEEP WATER.
Papers Filed, Taking an Assign
ment to w. w. p. Mcconnell
Statement of the Liabilities and AS
sets.-The Cioseness of the Times
Accounts for The Trouble.

w. G. Stegner's grocery store did
mot open for business Friday as
usual, and reports began to circulate
that all was not well with him IL
nancially. During the day he con-
cluded to make voluntary assign
naent for the benefit of his creditors,
and the papers were prepared this
afternoon by Attorney Thomas
Hughes, and it is the intention to
4 file them with the clerk of court this
afternoon. The assignment is to be
made to w. W. 2. Mcconnell who
has consented after much solicitation
to'accept the trust.
The liabilities will foot up ITO
$500, and the two heaviest
creditors are L. Patterson & Co.,
of this city, and Gregory &s,Co., of
Winona. 1t is thought that each of
these firms have accounts of nearly
$500 against Mr.. Stegner, and there
are d number of smaller creditors.
The assets are estimated at $4,000,
all but about 500 being stock, the
balance being book accounts. The
stock will be invoiced tonight. 1t
does not appear likely, from the
showing made, that the creditors will
realize much, but settlement may be.
reached with the creditors and the
matter dropped.
Mr.. Stegner has been in business in
! the city for the past four years, and
has dropped about 81, 600 in that time.
This may be laid to the fact that he
entered into business at the COM
mencement of the depression in bust
ness, and has had to struggle with
this during all that time. He has kept
his collections up but the amount of
/ business done was not sufficient to
make success possible Mr.. Stegner
is an excellent citizen and a courte-.
GUS gentlemen, and his friends will
jsincerely regret his trouble, which
came about through no fault of his.
The assignment papers were filed
late this afternoon, together with Mr..
McC0nnell's bond for $4,000, with
Horace Cummins aud Dr. j. w. An
drews as Sureties.
Mr.. Hughes states that in his,
opinion it would be better for the
creditors to settle their claims, as in
that case they may receive % cents
on the dollar, whereas they may not
receive over 10 cents on the dollar if
the assignment is carried through
to the end. He says that about $500
Of the small claims are held abroad,
and 1925 by parties in the city.

The Building.

The block Will have frantage OF
sixty-six feet on Front street. and will
extend west along Jackson street 15G
feet, the remaining seNen and a half
feet 20 the alley being taken up with
an area. It will be two stories high,
with deep and well lighted base
ment, and all three floors will he &C.
,cupied by the firm. The building will
be nearly fire proof, aud largely CON
structed of brick: stone, iron, shetland
glass. The two sides facing Front
and Jackson streets will be composed
mainly of plate glass. The building
will be as high as the ordinary three
story buildings, owing to the height
of the first and second stories, the
first being eighteen feet and the sec
ond thirteen feet. The basement will
be ten feet high in the clear, and the
building from the sidewalk up will
stand fifty feet high. In the center
of the front will be thirty foot flag
staff, from which the stars and stripes
will float. To show how largelythe two
street sides of the building will be
composed of glass, we might say that
the plate glass surface will be 5000
square feet.
That portion of the building on
the Front and Jackson street sides
which is not of glass will be of St.
Louis notified pressed brick, Roman
shape, and with stone and iron trim
