nANKATO DISTRICT,
President Elder Stafford Reports
Everything Prospecting and Good
Progress Being Made.

Presiding Elder John Stafford of
the Mankato district of the Metho-
dist church, makes his report at the
conference at WinOna this week. In
it he states that 'the year, all things
considered, has been good one for
the Mankato district. Ali the inter-
ests of the church have been carefully
and conscienliously considered"
With few exceptions he states that
the pastors and their families have
been well and happy in their work.
Times have been very hard and try
ing for pastors and people, and doubt
less the salaries and benevolences will
be short, but whatever the outcome
for the year, no more faithful men
ever wrought in the Lords vineyard
than those in the Mankato district
He reports three new churches dedi-
Gated during the year. and many of
The old ones have been Iepapered,
frescoed, and reprinted inside and out.
Quite number Of the parsonageS in
the district have been repaired and
debts upon churches have beenre-
duced or placed in the way for pay
ment. Ali this has been accomplished
by hard work on the part of the var
ious pastors.
That portion of his report relating
to the various charges shows that
good progress has been made in the
work of the church through the dis
trict. Considerable increase to church
membership has been made in the diff
| ferent churches. AT some points the
outlook has been discouraging, but on
the whole, considering the times, tits
most hopeful.
There have been two ministerial in
stitutes in the district during the
past year, which were we'll attended
and proved very profitable. The Ep-
worth Leagues are reported in avery
healthy condition, and the Junior
Leagues as prospecting. With few ex-
ceptions the churches and parsonages
of the district are reported we'll in
sured. Taken all in all, the Mankato
district closes the years work in very
good shape. @r

: A FORGED RECEIPT.
Two Sleek Strangers Who Evidently
rleant to Do Up Landlord StahI.

On Sept. 10th, 18th and 18th, two
strangers registered i at the Stahl
House as A. G. Bryan and r. D. Mac
hamburg, OF Bookings, S. D., and
each day procured lodging and break
fast, Where they got their other
meals is'not KNOWN They seemed to
be gentlemen of leisure, with plenty
of money, and no particular business,
so far as could be judged. They paid
their bills in advance each day, and
one Of them left belt in his room
when. they finally departed, which
they did rather suddenly. While
they could not be called
we'll dressed, their clothing
was neat. Considerable specula-
tion was INDUCED in by their fellow
boarders as to what their business
was and why they were tarrying in
Mankato, but they kept by them
selves and were communicative to
others.
Two or three days ago, Engineer
Hale, of the Omaha road, picked up
on the sidewalk on the Busch corner
an alleged receipt for money deposited
ordue bill, reading as follows:
80 = q "Sept. II, '97.
Received of A. G. Bryan SIS Fifteen
dollars on deposit. ;,
= Jos. STAHL."
This was written on a Stahl House
note" head, and was afolded up as
though it had been carried in a
pocket. The writing is somewhat
blotted.,
Mr.. Hale handed this to Mr.. Stahl,
who states that the receipt is a
forgery, and that he never received
any money from Bryan on deposit. 1t
is believed that the parties intended
to have this cashed somewhere, or to
give it in return for purchase. If
this is so, when they ascertained that
they had lost it, they may have de-
parted in such hurry that they for
got to take the belt found in their
room. At any rate, they have not
been heard from since.

A BAD RUNAWAY.
Daniel 1urphy, of nedo, Considerably
Used Up.

A wicked runaway occurred last
Friday evening near Medo. Daniel

driving home from GAINESVILLE with a
team of colts. In the single buggy
with him we're his daughter anu
another young lady. When three
miles from their home In Medo, 3the
colts SHE'D and started to run. Mr..
Murphy, who is rather heavy man,
was thrown out, as were also the
young ladies' The team ran a short
distance and became entangled Ia a
barbed wire fence, but broke loose and
returned, running over Mr.. Murphy,
who was lying in the road. The team
kept on, ran through another barbed
wire fence, across several fields, and
was caught not much injured.
1t required ten or fifteen minutes
work on the part of the young ladies
to bring Mr.. Murphy to consciousness,
and he was then removed to his home
and physician summoned He was
found to have suffered some slight in.
Jernal injuries, and had two ribs
broken, and was badly bruised. He is
now resting easier. Miss Murphy es-
capped with few scratches, and the
other young lady was uniniured.

IN NEW QUARTERS.
M. A. Sherk & Son Occupy Their Fine
New Grocery Store.

M. A. Sherk & Son, having moved
into their new building at the corner
of Front and Liberty streets. are en-
joying a larger trade than before.
Their old building, at the Byron
street corner, is closed, and they are
undecided at present what to do with
it. The new store is S0X44 feet, all in
one room, with new counters and
fixtures throughout, and new ice
box, etc. An elevator connects the
basement and first story. The base
ment is grouted and cemented and is
dry and very spacious. The front half
of the second floor is fitted off into a
suite of rooms, and have been furnish
ed and will be occupied as home by
Mr.. and Mrs. T. A. Sherk. The rear
half is store room.
Back of the store is large barn,
and the stables in the basement will
be capable of holding thirty or forty
horses. The first floor is reserved for
carriages, and the second floor for
hay. There is an Office on the first
floor for the barn man, and sleeping
room above. A scales will be placed
on Liberty street, in front of the Of
fee window. The barn will be used
by farmers coming to the city, and
will accommodate large number.
NJ. A. Sherk & Son now have the
finest and largest grocery store in the
city. Eight clerks are employed to
handle their business, and two de-
livery wagons can hardly deliver the
goods as fast as ordered. Miss Lizzie
Thomas has accepted the position of
cashier.

A HODEL MARKET.
A Visit to J. NJ, Karmany, the Pioneer
Butcher, in His New Quarters.

j. NJ. Karmauy, the pioneer
butcher, is now nicely located in his
new quarters, No. 40 S. Front street,
nearly across the street from his old
location. His new market is un-
deniably the finest in the city, and it
is doubtful whether it is eXcelled in
larger cities in the taste and neatness
displayed in the arrangement.
Everything is new, from the meat
hooks to the twenty-six feet of
counters with Italian marble tops.
The market is Fl 1ished in white
oak, and has metal ceiling, 1t is
roomy, and gives good opportunity
for the display of meat. In fact, in
all of it's features it is metropolitan.
In the rear is neat and commOdious
office. Back of the market is very
large cooling room, kept at low
temperature, and hung with great
assortment of meat. The fish box is
so well arranged that fish could be
kept fresh there a month. The
sausage room is back of the cooler,
and in a detached building in the
rear is the cooking room. Everything
is up to date, with modern machinery
and appliances.
Mr.. Karmany started in the meat
business in Mankato in 1868, and for
twenty years has conducted two
markets. He has won popularity
with the public 10y the excellent
quality of the meat which he handles.
Neither trouble nor expense is spared
in getting the best possible meat for
his patrons. IL the housewife wants
the jucieSt roast or the tenderest
porternouse, she knows that she can
always find it at Karmany's, and this
has been the secret of his success.
He has held his full trade since NOV
Ing across the street, and as the peo-
pie become acquainted with his new
market he will undoubtedly gain
some new patrons.
