THE WINDSOR TO THE FRONT
The ST. Paul HOstelry Invites Re-
representatives. to Entertainment
at Reduced Rates.

Col. @. j. MOnfOrt, the genial man
ager of the Windsor Hotel, ST. Paul,
gives notice that for the coming ses-
sion of the legislature he will make a
minimum rate to members of $50 per
month, and where two persons occupy
the same room Accommodations will be
furnished for $45. These terms are
exceptionally low and should attract
a large number of solons.
The Windsor is steam heated
throughout, and all rooms are sup
piled with outside windows, affording
good light and ventilation. The
hotel is only five minutes walk from
the capitol and only block from all
street Car lines.
Patrons of this hotel find more real
home comforts and pleasures than at
any other house in the twin cities,
and the exceptional inducements Of
fered members of the legislature in
the way Of reduced rates, will no
doubt attract an unusual number of
our law makers to be sat home" there
this winter.

SEVERAL NEW BUILDINGS.
The Outlook For the Lumber Bust
ness Is Good.

The local lumber dealers are antici-
pating an increased business next
year, lowing to returning prosperity
and the higher prices being paid for
crops. 1t is thought that many new
farm residences and fine barns will
go up to take the place of old ones.
With good crops and advanced
prices for all kinds of produce, the
farmers are expected to have money
to make improvements that have
been delayed until the times should
be better.
Considerable building is being done
this fall, and A. w. Robinson reports
the sale of lumber for the following:
Geo. Macbeth has just completed
store at Eagle Lake.
Frank Getty is engaged in putting
up store at Beaufort.
Peter Koenner is erecting barn
on his farm near Caroline Station.
Henry Schmidt is about Ito put up a
barn on his farm in Decoria.

LARSON-JOHNSON.
A Very Pretty Wedding last Saturday
Evening.

Mr.. Charles Larson and Miss Sophie
1880 O'Clock Saturday evening by Rev.
Mr.. Erickson, pastor of the Swedish
Lutheran chuach. The ceremony
was performed at the residence of
Mr.. and Mrs. C.S. Halstrom, 1504Third
avenue, and was very attractive. Be-
tween sixty and seventy guests had
assembled, when the wedding march
was struck up by Messrs. Norden,
John Lundberg and Halstrom, with
stringed Instruments. After the
nuptial knot had been tied, an elabor-
ate supper was served, lasting two
hours. The remainder of the evening
was spent in dancing and it was four
O'Clock in the morning before the last
of the guests had taken their de-
parture.
The bridal couple received numer-
Gus fine presents, including beauti-
full oak bedroom suit from the broth
ers of the bride, many pieces of silver
ware, china, glass ware, linen, furni-
ture, ETC., and about $3.50 in cash.
:, The bride wore a pretty blue cash
mere dress, with a white veil and
wreath.
The bridesmaids, Miss Anna John
son and Miss ,,Tillie Carlson, were
neatly dressed in white and had
bouquets.
Peter Johnson and M. Larson were
the groomsmeu and wore regulation
black, as did also the groom.
Those who were present from out
of the city were the following from
St. James: John O., Charles w. and
Peter E. johnson, brothers of the
bride, Mrs. John o. Johnson, Mrs.
August Peterson, Chas. Lief and John
Olson.
Mr.. and Mrs. Larson received the
congratulations of many friends all
day yesterday. They have furnished
suite of rooms over Sever Olson's
store, on North Front street, and will
60 to housekeeping at once. Both
are excellent young people and have
numerous friends who will extend
their very best wishes for their
future happiness and prosperity.

WAS BOUND OVER.
Crusade Against Sunday Liquor Sell
ling at Lake Crystal.

Two or three weeks ago, Louis
Gedell was bound over to the grand
jury on the charge of selling liquor on
Sunday at Lake Crystal. Last Satur-
day, Carl Peterson, another saloon
| keeper, was bound over on similar
charge and released on 500 bail. The
J penalty for violating the Sunday law
in this manner is fine of not to eX-
coed $50 and imprisonment in the
county Jail for not to exceed ninety
days. 1t is said that after Gedell was
bound over he pleaded guilty to the
charge of disorderly conduct and paid
fine of S65, the understandings being
that his case would not be pressed be-
fore the grand jury.
The village board appears to be
back of these prosecutions, and there
by is said to hang a tale. The license
issue was prominent at the last vii
lage election, and the board that was
elected showed itself favorable to a
lower license fee. At any rate, the
fee was reduced from $500 to $500 and
and five licenses were issued. Before
the board would reduce the fee, the
saloon keepers gave a promise not to
do business on SUNDAY, and as. they
were anxious for the reduction they
readily gave this promise. Now a
number of persons claim that this
agreement is not being lived up to by
the saloon keepers, and the board has
decided to enforce the understa nding.
Peterson claims that he was hunt
ing on the Howard farm the Sunday
that four witnesses claim that he
sold liquor. His attorney is Byron
Hughes.

ST. PETERS NEW CHURCH.
Methodists There Erect Fine $I2 ,oOC
Structure.

The elegant new Methodist church
at St. Peter was formally dedicated
Sunday. DR.. Ives, of New York,
the church dedicator, conducted the
services in the forenoon and was sue
cessful in raising $4,000, which leaves
the church clear of debt. DR.. Cleve-
land and Attorney II. l.. Schmitt
rove over in the afternoon and the
former preached a sermon. Last
evening DR.. Stafford preached.
The new church has been erected at
cost of $4,000, and is constructed of
brick and stone. 1t is very pretty
building and will seat about 800 peo-
pie. 1t is certainly credit to the
membership of the St. Peter church
that they have had the courage to
build such church during period of
financial depression, and that they
are able to dedicate it free from debt
is highly gratifying.

rounding towns could take advan-
tage ofthese prices without the neces-
sity of paying full railroad fare, we
suggested that it would be profitable
all around for the railrods to run
weekly trade excursions to the city.
To show what's territory Mankato
draws from, we might say that people
come to this city to shop from
radius of fifty miles or more, without
reduced rates. During the recent
sleighing, farmers drove to this city
from within five miles of ST. James,
and from almost the Iowa state line.
One clothing firm reports sales to the
amount of 81, 800 that one week. If
these people and their neighoors can
come to Mankato on reduced railroad
fare when the sleighing is poor this
city would see such trade as it has
not seen within recent years.

GREAT EXTREMES OF WEATHER
IN THE NORTHWEST.
Telegraphic Service Seriously Inter-
fered with i'm all of the Western
States Business Accepted Subject
to Delay-A Cold Wave Follows
the two Days Rain-EffOrts Being
Made to Repair the Damage to
Telegraph Wires.

This fall has been remarkable for
the variety of weather furnished, and
the rapiditY with which one extreme
has followed another. Seldom has last
Thursdays weather been reproduced
on Thanksgiving day in the past in
this state, and this fact was one of
the blessings which MinnesOtans gave
thanks for. The rain, which started
in Wednesday, continued all of that
night and about all day yesterday.
The temperature hardly varied de-
gree from two above the freezing
point, and the cutters ran with water.
Late in the afternoon it began to
freeze, and severe cold wave with
heavy wind has prevailed since.
The same kind of weather has been
experienced over the entire north
west. Rain was general yesterday,
and when the weather turned cold
suddenly much damage resulted to
the telegraph wires. The rain froze
on them and formed thick coatings of
ice, and the wind blew so hard that
the wires had to give way. A very
general interruption to the telegraph
service in the western part of Mime
sofa and in the Dakotas followed.
The Omaha crew which had been
at work on the new right of way in
this city this week was ordered out
west Of st. James, to repair broken
wires between that place and Sioux
City and Sioux Falls. The service
was partially restored today.
This forenoon the Western Union
manager sent out the following in
structions to agents:
sowing to severe storms through
out the west, our facilities are quite
seriously interrupted. Accept bust
ness for points west of Omaha, Kan
sas City and Fargo subject to delay;
also Huron, Pierre, Tracy, Marshall,
Pipestone and Sioux Falls
This indicates the very general ex-
tent of the storm, which has very
nearly cut the western states off from
Geographic communication with the
east.
Train service did not suffer much,
fortunately.

THE OMAHA WORK.

The work of riprapping the Omaha
fill goes along regardless of the
weather. From fifteen to twenty
five carloads of riprap are coming
from the Babcock quarries at Kasota
daily for this purpose. The embark
ment will be so thoroughly protected
by thirty-inch wall that no amount
of high water can do much damage.
1t is very substantial protection.
The old Omaha passenger depot has
a lonely appearance since the build
ings on each side have been removed
The south waiting room is used as a
baggage and freight house, and the
Office contains the working force of
the freight Office.

lNSOLVENT.
The Enterprise Says G. q. Spauiding
Likely to Assign.

The Mapleton Enterprise is authority
for the statement that Mr.. G.. 6.
Spaulding is likely to make an assign
ment The FREE PRESS regrets to
learn this. and hopes that matters
will turn out better than seems likely
to be the case from the Enterprise re-
port. Mr.. Spaulding is one of the old
business men of the county and has
hosts of friends who will greatly
regret to learn of his misfortune in
business way. The Enterprise states
that he has disposed of his implement
business to DR.. Ira Bishop, who will
close out the same. The Enterprise
further says that when Mr.. Spaulding
was asked regarding this matter he
stated 'that he was insolvent and
that he would perhaps make an
assignment within few days" 1t
also says that a statement made about
the first of November, placed his
assets in round numbers at $1,000
and his liabilities at $1,000. In clos
ing the Enterprise says: "Mr. Spauld-
ing has been in business in this COM
munity for twenty-five years, during
which time he has been of untold
benefit to this section in keeping up
the market, and his misfortune will
be the cause Of universal regret, We
are glad, however, to announce that
he has no intention of leaving Maple
ton, but will continue part of his
business at least. Mr.. Spaulding has
few, if any, creditors among the
farmers or business men of this
locality, and the best of feeling is
everywhere manifest in his behalf

have to answer to the charge of
assault in the second degree upon J.
w. Wigley, alleged to have been COM
mitted last summer. The two are
brothers-in-law, and they quarreled
over politics.
f. Weigelt is charged with OBJ
structing public highway in the
town of Rapidan.
Edward Swartaut was bound over
last summer on the charge of assault
in the second degree upon Alex An
derson.
There are probably several other
minor cases to be looked into.
Besides whatever work the grand
jury may return, there are six criminal
cases on the calendar left over from
previous termrof court, and probably
one or two of these will be for trial.
With all these criminal cases and
one hundred and seven civil cases,
Judge Severance and his court will
have their hands full.

MACHINERY DA1AGED BY FIRE
THIS FORMING.
Lime Starts a Costly Fire in the
Stone Saving fill Owned by W.B,
Craig and Leased By the Mankato
Lime 6 Stone Co.-The Fire De-
partment Lays 1000 Feet of Hose
to the BuiIding-No Insurance.

The fire department was called out
at about three o'clock Friday morning
to fight serious conflagation at W..
B. Craig'S quarry. An employe of
the Mankato Lime & Stone Co. saw a
fire in the south end of the large
building which is used as mill for
saving stone into sidewalk tagging
1t was then under good Roadway
and he turned in an alarm, which
soon brought the department onto
the ground. The building is situated
1000 feet from the nearest hydrant
and line of hose was laid at once
and stream of water turned on.
The distance was SO great that the
pressure was greatly reduced, and the
strong wind aided the flames. The
roof fell in and the burning rafters
destroyed all of the betting In the
mill and warped the machinery so
that it is badly damaged.
The loss on the building and ma
chinery amounts to about S., 600, with
no insurance. The plant is owned by
Mr.. Craig but is leased to the Man
kato Lime & Stone Co., which also
has contract by which they were to
buy it Jan. 1st.
The fire is believed to have been start
ed bysome lime which was in thebuild-
ing and which may have heated and
set fire to some woodwork. No one
had been in the building for two or
three days and no fires were kept
there, and the door was locked by the
last man there
Mr.. Craig places his loss at about
$4,000, of which $500 is on the
machinery, 1000 on the building and
$500 on some wood machinery, supplies.
two engine trucks, ETC., stored in the
second story.
About a carload of lime in barrels
was stored in one corner of the build
ing, and Mr.. Craig thinks that water
got into thelime during the rain and
caused it to heat. Some years ago a
supply of unslacked soft coal in the
same building set fire to woodwork in
same manner.
There will be a salvage of about
800 on the machinery, so Mr.. Craig
estimates

FROZE BOTH FEET.

DR.. Webster was called Sunday
to attend young man who had frozen
both of his feet while skating on the
river during the day. The young man
is a Normal student, who boards with
a family on Byron street, and he chose
a cold day for long skate. Before
he was aware of it, both of his pedal
extremities had become more or less
CONCEALED in places, and after he had
returned to his boarding place the
pain which he endured was severe.
No serious results are expected to
follow.
