fell at Austin until after the last

were treated TO one of the most beau.

huge rainbow was cast against the

The business men of Mankato ought

will be well repaid. The local camp
will not stint itself in this respect.

CONSIDERABLE LOSS.
Fire in the Basement of APPEL & Roberts
Store.

At shortly after 800 o'clock Friday
morning, II. G. APPEL was awakened
by smoke pouring into his rooms from
the outside through the windows. He
resides over his second hand store on
Cherry street. and thinking that
there was fire in the vicinity awak-
ened his wife and also Joseph Man.
derfeld's family, who reside over the
next store. He discovered that the
fire was in the basement under his
own store, and ran to Z. Sanger's
livery barn and igot out the hose
wagon. WATERWAYS already turned on
the fire when an alarm was sent in
from box 35 by some one else.
The fire had evidently smouldered
for some time, as it had burned from
the front of the basement back to the
stairway leading to the first floor, and
had charred the door. The heat on
the first floor was so great that the
Varnish on the furniture was blister
ed and scorched. Some mattresses
were damaged. The building is own
ed by Roberts & APPEL and the stock
by M. E. APPEL. The building is insured
for 81 900 and the stock for $500, with
D. G. Davies. The damage to the
building will not be less than 300, as
much woodwork will have to be re-
moved, including the stairway, which
had partly burned away. The walls
were also blackened by smoke. The
damage to the stock will exceed the
insurance.
How the fire started is a mystery.
Mr.. APPEL, during the warm weather,
has left the front basement door open,
but the trap door has been closed,
leaving only few inches space. The
fire might possibly have started
from cigar stub carelessly thrown
there, or from spontaneous combus-
tion. Mr.. APPEL is inclined to believe
that the latter is the case. The fire
started among some burlaps, feather
beds, etc.

SERIOUSLY INJURED.

At about noon Monday, %. Nickel
sons 6-year-old boy was seriously in
jured while playing in Hans Jorgen-
sons hay loft with the latter's boy.
Mr.. Mickelson's boy appears to have
been turning somersaults, and got
so near the hay chute that he wen
down it head first into the manger.
1t is thought that he struck his head

his companion to bring him some

schuyler hawkes., VINO clerked at
n. L. Henry's grocery store last year,
writes the following interesting
letter:
We received and unpacked the two
boxes sent to our regiment for the
Mankato boys. We wish to express
our thanks and appreciation to the
W. r. O.. and others who contributed.
The boxes were opened by Major
Mead in front of his tent. ALI Of the
boys were present except John Mans
field, who is on duty today. Every
one knelt in anxiety for the lid to be
raised, and as the MAJOR read the
names the owner would answer
"here" and keep adding to his pile
until the box was empty The box of
jellies and extracts the Major kept in
his tent to be used in case any of us
are sick. Ali the boys wished they
could be sick for while, some did ex-
press the idea that they were sick,
but the Major only grinned. We are
all well pleased with what we got and
everything is useful especially our
writing material, it being very low.
The upper right hand corners of the
envelopes were searched for the
stamp but was met with disappoint-
ment. The linen was donated to the
hospital, where we thought it could
be used to the best advantage. We
have no boys in the hospital yet and
hope we will have none there to know
how good the jellies taste on sick
bed. Hoping the w. R. G. further
success in it's good work / remain,
