The Mankato Daily Free Press r..
cords the following from statement
made by Architect Thayer, Of Manka-
to, in reference to work before him.
Among other work which he 10 en-
gagged in at present, are the the plans |
for a $4,000. wo-story business build |
ing for r. +. Baker of Worthington."
A party from Mankato was here
last week and rented the Minnesota
House Of B. w. Cutler deposing $50 |
to secure the trade ordered seven or
ieight dollars worth of groceries, col
lected week boards, and suddenly
took the train and since then nothing
has been heard of him.
An unusually heavy wind prevail
ed here last week Friday filling the
air with dust which was blown
through the smallest opening of
houses, covering everything on the
inside with dust. The Worthington
Mill Company'e smoke stack was
blown down and smashed some. This
is the only damage learned of.
Unfortunately two high grade on
tertainments should occur SO close to-
gether, bu. the Ottumwas could not
be secured for any other date and
our music lovers could not resist Sc
curing them. Miss Kleinman, the
most accomplished reader travelling,
is with them and you do not enjoy
music she alone will be worth hear
ing and the expense to do 80.
Otto Babcock, travelling represen-
tative of the Poole Piano Company,
OF Boston, Mass, stopped over here
on Tuesday, making arrangements
with Carolus O. Peterson to handle
their pianos, which are strictly high
grade, Mr.. Babcock having sold a
> few here few years ago which
, gives perfect satisfaction, The par
, ties buying at that time were, Harry
, Wicklund, Philip Anthony. Grant
Morrison, G. II. Sib(ey and others.
No finer entertainment ever wat
B given in this town than by the Of
tumwas about year ago. This wat
the expression made by our most tai
ented musicians. While their enter
tainment is grand and of the highest
order, yet every part of it is within
the comprehension of the unlearneC
musician, which is pleasing feature
of the Ottumwas. Do not fail to hea1
them Monday evening at the Mason
ic hall. Seats are now on sale a
Morland's.

weather that prevailed that evenin,
- The society is making some decide

ra Farmers of this county now have q
to opportunity of testing tho beet sug'
r. industry and ascertaining what me
its there are in the product. See

c- ers in neighborhood would oombir
w. and SOW small acreage, shippin
w the yield in one shipment, they coul
" almost inexpensively give it tria

ID adoption of the culture in this local

F. diversified farming. Some localiti'

ct ious ways. One locality is reporte
