KRON BUILDING,
Another One of Mankato's Elegant
New Structures.
A Three Story department Store, of
Pressed Brick and Stone.

The walls of Fred Kron's new build
ding, at the corner of Front and Main
street, diagorally across from the
Saulpaugh, are now nearing compile
tion, and as the design of the building
becomes apparentit takes rank among
the handsomest and most substantial
structures in the city.
The building has frontage of fifty
feet and a depth of one hundred feet,
and is three stories and the basement
high. The basement is ten feet high,
the first story fifteen, the second
twelve, and the third sixteen. There
will be frontage of seventy feet of dis
play windows on Front and Main
streets combined. The vestibule will
extend through the second story, as
the cut accompanying this brief dis
cription shows.
The building is being constructed
of notified St. Louis pressed brick and
Mankato stone, with galvanized iron
cornice. 1t will have plate glass
throughout, passenger elevator to
all the floors, and will be lighted by
gas and electricity. The ceilings will
be of ornamental steel, which is some
thing new for Mankato. Steam heat
will be furnished from plant located
in detached building, which will al
so include barn room.
The third floor will not be finished
off at present, but may eventually be
used for lodge room purposes. The
entire cost of the building, including
the heating plant, will be $4,000.
Nothing has been omitted to make
the construction of the building SUBJ
stantial as possible, and to this end
money has not been spared. 1t is ex-
pected that the building will be occu-
pied by Oct. 1st. II. G. Gerlach is the

THE WEDDING DELAYED.

Fred Mclean, of Lake Crystal, and
Miss Lena Boetsch, of this city, uwere
married Monday. They had in
tended to be married at 200 p. m.
Sunday, at the parlors Of the Cliff
ton House, but the bride did not show
up. The groom hustled around ,and
asked the reporters not to mention
the fact of the license having been
granted until it was known how mat
tiers would come out. 1t was circu-
lated around that the Salvation
Army was OBTAINING the ggirl. This
was subsequently denied, and the
bride was found in Tincomville. The
knot was tied and the parties return
ed to Lake Crystal.

Work is now Progressing Satisfac'
torily.

Work on the government building
is going along at satisfactory man
ner, although it does not show up out
side of the high board fence. The
entire force is at work on the addition
in the rear, the walls 'of (which will
soon rise to view, as they are now
nearly as high as the walls of the main
part. 1t takes stime to lay the heavy
blocks in place as precisely as the gov
eminent requires. The workmen
employ system of whistles to COM
municate with the engineer who con-
trolls the derrick, and in this way
work is not delayed, while there is no
shouting back and forth.
The hours for working are only
eight, and the workmen start in at
500 and leave at 5:O0p. M. There is
a law which establishes the eight
our day on all government work, and
the Mankato building comes under
this rule. This in part accounts for
the slOWness with which the walls are
going up. 1t is expected that the
building will be completed by Nov.

but the excitement has been sue
ceeded by calmness, and no further
trouble is feared.
S. B. Wilson, law student in At
torney Cray's Office states that a
month ago Freund transferred some
of his property at Lake Crystal to his
wife, through Mr.. Wilson. Such
transfers occur every day, and as
transfer from husband to a wife has
to be made through third party, this
is the proper course to pursue. 1t is
claimed that Mr.. Freund did this be-
cause he was aware that Miss Ober
was about to bring action against
him. Whether or not there is any
foundation for this, we do not know.

COMMERCIAL CLUB.
The rMembers Admire their New
Quarters.

The Mankato Commercial Club held
a very wei. ATTENDED meeting Tuesday
night to perfect the arrangements for
receiving and entertaining the visit
ing editors today. The necessary ar
rangements were made. The board of
trade committee was represented by
H. P. Jensen. who offered the assist
ance of the board in every way pos
sible. This was accepted by the club,
and the officers and directors of the
board were invited to attend the ban
quet at The Saulpaugh tonight.
The members of the club greatly
greatly admired their new suite of
rooms, and the manner in which
they were furnished. The rooms
were brilliantly lighted, and they
looked doubly attractive by gas light.
Certainly the club is to be envied on
it's quarters, which are equal to the
best in the country.

ANOTHER IMPROVEMENT.

Block.

Conductor Messer has made arrange
ments for an extended improvement
of his stores now occupied by Mr..

POWERS SENTENCED.
Forty-Five Days and Hundred and
Four Dollars.

Monday afternoon Mr.. Powers was
brought before Judge Caldwell to re-
ceive his sentence for selling liquor
without license at Amboy, of which
he was convicted in July. Judge Cad
well sentenced him to] serve in the
county Jail for forty-five days, and to
pay fine which with the costs will
amount to S104. In case he does not
pay his fine he is to serve another
forty-tive days, but it is likely that he
will pay his fine.

WILL BRING SUIT.
Brothers of John Norton will Sue the
Milwaukee Road.

The brothers of the late John Nor
ton have decided to bring an action
against the Chicago, Milwaukee &
St. Paul road on account of the
death of their brother. The two who
attended the funeral in this city went
to New Ulm yesterday and consulted
Hon. John Lind, whom they retained
as their attorney. Mr.. Lind was ex-
pected in this city today to look into
the case. The action will doubtless
be based on the ALLEGED carelessness
of the road, and will be for $4,000
damages, which is the maximum value
of life under the state law.

A STRANGE DISEASE.
Danville Farmers are Losing rlany
Hogs.

A strange disease has broken out
among the hogs in Danville township,
and some of the farmers have lost
heavily. They are at a loss to know
what the disease is, and have sent
for state veterinary surgeon, who is
expected in few days. The old and
large hogs are especially apt to take
the disease, and they are crippled up
as soon as attacked, and act as though
they were suffering from the rheuma-
tism. They die in three or four days,
and the disease is highly contagious.
1t does not act anything like cholera,
and is trouble with which the far
mers are entirely unfamiliar.

TAKEN BACK.
Jacob Freund is Met at the Depot by
a Crowd.

Sheriff Sandy Mcdonald came up
from Blue Earth City Monday and
this noon returned with Jacob Freund
and Lewis Olson. The formers pre-
liminary hearing is set for today. and
the latter's for tomorrow. Attorneys
Cray and Pau have been retained by
Freund and Byron Hughes by Olson,
and they accompanied their clients
back. For fear of trouble, Sheriff
Bowen was member of the party, al
so.
When the train reached Blue Earth
City large crowd was in waiting,
but no violence was offered to the
prisoners, and no demonstrations
were made. The prisoners were taken
to the jail. Public sentiment there is
still very bitter against two prisoners.

WERE OFFERED S75
Council Propose a Rate
for Lights.
Mr.. neagher Offers to Furnish 400
Candle Power Lights at $50 Per
Year Each, Which Was Not AC-
cepted--Counci Offers SIS.

The second electric light conference
was held Thursday at The Saulpaugh.
and although it was a two hours ses-
sion nothing that may be called a
solution of the franchise matter was
done.
Some time was wasted in discussing
the proposition as submitted last
week, with no apparent gain on either
side, when Mr.. Meagher, to put an
end to what gave every promise of be-
ing a long-winded, pointless session,
stated that the company would fur
nish the city with 1900 candle power
lights for $50 per annum each-S5 less
than the price stipulated in the con-
tract.
This was what the council was eX-
pecting, however, and after Mr..
Meagher had closed the members be-
gan winking knowingly at each other
and ''sparring for wind" doubtless di-
crossing for another ''cut." A vote to
informally accept Mr.. Meagher's pro-
position was lost. Then Alderman Fow-
Ter created small sensation by NOV
ing to allow the company S75 per light
per annum. This passed by. vote of
to 1. but the company did not ac-
cept it, and so the matter rests.
The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1895-02-22

Mr.. Hubbard then asked the council
if they would be willing to conclude
the matter by arbitration of board
OF electrical experts, the council to
select a man, the company to select
one and the two to choose a third.
Alderman Widell suggested that
another vote be taken on Mr..
Meagher's amendment of $50 per
light per year. Alderman Bashaw
seconded and it was put to vote,
Alderman Bashaw and Widell voting
aye and Fowler, Higgs and Pitcher
nay.
Mr.. Pitcher wanted the matter to
go over to the council meeting tomor-
row night, and Alderman Higgs
wanted the matter of the choice of
candle power settled on the spot. But
1t wasn't settled.
Alderman Bashaw said he had
changed his mind about advertising
for bids for furnishing lights since
looking over list of cities running
their own plants.
Adjourned.

MORE DIVORCES.
Lawler and Spencer Want Legal
Separations.

Attorney byron Hughes Friday filed
the papers in the case of Laura Spen-
Ger, of Decoria, asking legal separa-
tion from her husband, Eugene Spen-
Ger, who is now in Minneapolis. She
states that she was married to Eugene
October 1st, 1893, her age being Is and
his 30. They had not been long
welded, she AYERS, when he began a
systematic crusade of humanity
against her, and on April, 1st, 1894, in
the city of Faribault, her husband
kicked her and called her vile names.
On the It'll of the same month she
states that he slapped her mouth and
bestowed upon her the most villainous
epithets. One May day he pointed a
loaded revolver at her head, so she
says, and accused her of infdelity
and criminal intimacy with various
men, and on these grounds she wants
to be set at liberty.
Catharine Lawler has begun an
action against Edward LaWler on the
ground of desertion.
