COOK..VAN VALKENBURG.

A recent issue of the Minneapolis
Tribune contains the following an
nouncement Of the marriage of a
former Mankato boy and Rochester
lady:
The marriage of Miss Minnie Cook,
daughter of Mrs. Horace Cook, of
Rochester, to Jesse Van Valkenburg.
of this city, was solemnized at 6
o'clock last evening in Rochester, at
the brides home, Is West WinOna
street. Rev. Frank Doran otficiated,
George Brooks, Of Faribault, and Miss
Nina Cook, sister of the bride, at
tended the bridal couple. Following
the marriage ceremony supper was
served, the guests being only relatives.
Miss Cook has been for two years a
teacher in the Douglas school, Min
neapolis, having spent the previous
year in the university. Mr.. Van
Valkenburg is graduate Of the uni
versity law school, and has practiced
in the city for two years. He was for,
merly a reporter on The Tribune.
The bridal couple left Rochester
last evening to take up their resi-
dence at Cottagewood Hotel, Mime
tonka, where they will remain for
the summer. They will be at home
in Minneapolis after Sept. 1, at $40

MET THE PRESIDENT.

A letter from Prof. S. II. Rowe,
who was with the Minnesota delega-
tion of teachers attending the Ma.
tional Association in Washington,
says: "The delegation of Minnesota
teachers attending the national edu-
cational association was one Of the
few to meet President Mckinley this
last week. This we owed to the kind :
ness of Representative McCleary, who
secured US special audience in the
regular cabinet room. The visitors
were all struck by the remarkable re-
fnement and evident good will which
marked every line Of the presidents
face. A Colorado professor said that
if M cKinley were to be elected today
he would get nine-tenths of the Colo
RADIO vote"

NEARLY COMPLETED.
The Big j. |. Case Warehouse Will be
Occupied Next Week,

The ]. l. Case warehouse will be
completed by next Wednesday. 1t is
already enclosed and large force of
men is working upon it. The office
will be located in the southeast cor
ner of the building. About $50, 900
worth of repairs will be stored on the
second floor as soon as the building is
completed, Tor use during the coming
harvest season. The first floor will
be used for the storage Of threshlng
engines, while the separatOrs and
lighter machinery will be placed on
the second floor. An elevator will
connect the two floors.
The building has been very SUBJ
stantially constructed, with walls
twenty inches thick on three sides
and twelve inches thick on the fourth
side. Stone piers support the big
posts that run through the building.
The interior of the building is we'll
lighted throughout. The first floor is
on level with the floors of the freight
cars, and there is an inclined floor
leading to the main Front street en-
trance, for taking out engines that
are sold for delivery here. The plat
form in the rear will extend to the G.
& N. W. track, and derrick will be
placed there to assist in loading and
unloading cars Three wide entrances
lead from this platform into the build
ing. 1t would be difficult to imagine
a better constructed building for the
purposes for which this is intended.

ANOTHER CANDIDATE.
Mr.. j. E. Peterson Comes Out for
County Auditor.

Big grain crops is not the only
thing the present summer is prolific
in. The crop of candidates for office
gives promise of being greater than
ever in the past, and the pleasant
feature of the situation is that all
the aspirants are worthy, capable and
deserving gentlemen.
The latest addition to the cata.
logue containing the names Of those
wanting to serve in the capacity of
county auditor, is in the person of Mr..
J E. Peterson, the popular and we'll
known young man who has occupied
the position of book keeper for Mr..
Widell for several years,
Mr.. Peterson is certainly qualified
for any position his modestY would
lead him to seek. and that his friends
will rally to his support in goodly
numbers cannot be questioned. His
identity with the working Republi-
cans in the city has given him an &C.
quaintance and ''pull" that will very
likely serve him to good purpose in
the preliminary battle for nomina-
tion.
The Republicans will, therefore,
have up for consideration before their
county convention three splendid
men from which to select candi-
date. Mr.. Gunders will be a candi-
date for re nomination, and his pop
ularity with the people of the county
with whom he has done business dur
ing his incumbency Of the auditors
office gives him very strong start in
the race
W. A. Whsle. of Good Thunder, d
native born resident Of Minnesota, a
popular gentleman and man who
would make model officer will have
good many friends to assist him in
his aspirations.
Whichever of the three, therefore
that receive the nomination the peo-
pie will be sure of an obliging, COM
petent man and strong candidate.

REWARDED.
Dying Man Leaves $500 to a
Friend.
Was Supposed to Have no Property, But
Had $500 Lying in Man.
katO Bank.

A merchant in a small town in an
other county called upon one OF our
banks Wednesday and presented proof
that he had been named as executor
for retired minister who had So, 800
deposited there, and who recently
died. The minister, who had always
been supposed to be exceedingly POOR,
left an estate of 81 800, consisting of
the deposit in the MankatO bank. a
similar deposit in bank in another
town, and the balance loaned to
friends. He lived in shanGy the
life of a miser, and seemed barely able
to live. The merchant took pity up
on him and gave him apples and
other eatables and occasionally a
cigar, and allowed him to sit in the
store in winter, as he said that he
did not have the means to buy WOOD
for heating purposes.
When the minister was about TO
die,he sent for the merchant and told
him that he had decided to make him
his sole heir, and had the merchant
draw up will to that effect, The
store keeper was afterwards astonish-
ed to find out how much wealth the
man possessed.
The minister deposited $500 in
the Mankato bank July 18th. 1888,
and left the certificate of deposit
there, taking receipt for it. He
left instructions that no one was to
draw the money but himself. He re-
ceiyed the interest regularly, but did
not again visit the bank. He lived
the last seven years in the town in
which he died, and only knew the
merchant as a friend and benefactor.
He had no relatives, and so concluded
to bestow his boarded wealth on the
man who had befriended him. The
storekeeper drew the money and de-
parted for his own town.

miles north of the town, to set some
posts in the river to keep cattle from
getting on his land. He did not come
back to dinner or supper. and the fam
lily became alarmed and sent boy to
see what the trouble was. The boy
found Mr.. Ponds horse hitched on the
river bank near where he had been
setting the posts, but could not find
any trace of Mr.. Pond, so he returned
to town and gave the alarm. Forty
or fifty men with lanterns went and
searched most Of the night, but found
no trace of him. The next morning,
Thursday, large 'number went again
and searched his land thoroughly, and
also the river on each side from where
he had been working. Several par
ties kept up the search all day, and at
about six o'clock Thursday evening
two young men found Mr.. Pond lying
in pasture in hollow, some half
mile or more from where he had been
working. When found, he was lying
out in the hot sun and was uncon-
scious. The young men summoned
doctor, who gave Mr.. Pond stimu-
lants, and the sufferer was taken to
the hotel. He was unable to speak,
but acted as though he wanted to say
something. He did not rally Thurs
day night or Friday, and passed away
this morning, although everything
possible was done for him.
The supposition is that Mr.. Pond
must have been overcome by the heat
and wandered away and got lost, as
the country there is timbered and
covered with high grass. Mr.. Pond
was well liked by all who knew him,
and his family will have the sympa
thy of all in their sorrow.
