A BRILLIANT PARTY
Five Hundred Guests Charmingly
Entertained.
The Social Event at The SauIpaugh Last
Night Was FIatteriDg
Success.

TheSaulpaugh presented sightFriday
evening of youth and beauty, age and
dignity, decoration and jolity, the like
OF which has seldom been witnessed in
Mankato. The occasion was the recep-
ton rendered by DR.. and Mrs. J. w.
Andrews, Mr.. and Mrs Geo. M. Palm

hands and receiving the congratulate ons
of the invited guests.
The spacious parlors and corridors of
The Saulpaugh never looked so charm

profusion of handsome cut flowers was
everywhere smiling upon the assembled
throng and made a beautiful back
ground for rejecting back the graces
of the elegantly costumed ladies and
sparklingly lighted faces of the happy
hosts and the joyful, buzzing guests.

evening, and the cooling liquid was
most acceptable as a counter to the

the evening one of unusual enjoyment
to all. and as the guests departed COM
pliments unstinted were showered upon
the hosts for the splendid entertainment
and social enjoyment afforded those
present.
The flowers were Saturday sent
to the hospital to cheer the saddened
hearts of the afflicted sick, and that the
perfume eminating from their dainty
petals be as healing salve is not alone
the wish of the donors but as we'll by

BIG CONTRACTS.
Mankato Cement Wins Ont at Minneapo.
lis and Butte, Mont.

Manager Carney is happy over several
large sized contracts that he has been
able to pull in for Mankato cement in
competition with other cement. He
has secured the contract for furnish
ing all of the cement that will be used
in the Minneapolis sewer work for one
year. The work in sight on these
sewers calls for $500 barrels, and many
thousand more will be needed. Mr..
Carney has also secured the contract
for all of the cement to be used in form
ing concrete foundation for brick
pavements in Minneapolis, and the first
job of this kind requires $500 barrels.
Both of these contracts were secured
this week.
Mr. Carney also practically has the
contract for furnishing Butte, Mont,
with all the cement needed in making
her reservoir and in paving her streets.
This calls for $500 barrels. Several
other even larger contracts are nearly
booked.

OPEN LETTER TO REV. BEATTIE.

Sir: l heard your speech on Sunday
evening, March 10Th, from Philippians
fourth chapter and thirteenth verse, Il
can do all things through Christ which
strengtheneth me" Your theme was
Christian Men in Business. You set
forth Paul as model Christian man,
which but few, if any, will deny. You
also spoke of some of the most noted
politicians and most eminent statesmen
in the worlds history, also the men en-
gagged in the great commercial, finan-
cial and industrial enterprises of the
day, as being in large majority Chris
tan men. You also advised young
men to become religious, as by doing so
it would enable them to become better
business men Now, sir, will you tell
us by what authority or what proof
you have in the light of the gospel of
Jesus Christ that these men alluded to
in your discourse were Christians at all.
When Mr.. Munhall was here holding
meetings in your church, the question
was asked him how a man could under
our present business system, do bust
ness and serve God at the same time.
He answered "It cannot be DONE" You
say it can be done. Will you tell us
how? Yours for the truth,
Mankato, April 20.

EMPLOYING 300 MEN.
Gus Widell viii Double This Number
Next Month.

Gus Widell is employing 300 men in
his quarries at present, and expects to
double this number next month. He
has contracted to do much work for the
Northwestern and Minneapolis & St.
Louis roads, and has also picked up a
few contracts from other parties, and
expects to ship out more stone this
year than ever before.
One bridge alone calls for 300 car
loads of stone. This is the bridge over
the Big Cottonwood river on the Min
neapolis & st. Louis road.
There is some reason to believe that
the Mankato & New Ulm road will not
put in stone culverts this year, owing
to the difficulty of transportation.
Wooden structures may be put in, to be
replaced in two or three years, when
the stone can be carried on the railroad.

NEW BOOKS.

Keller's first and second year in
German is a method that brings the
language within the reach of every one,
especially the student struggling to
acquire slight knowledge of German
without teacher. The explanations
accompanying each lesson are simple
and yet full enough to clear all
difficulties.
The series would be an exceptionally
good one for schools, and would GER
tainly be an improvement over some of
the difficult methods that beginners in
German are obliged to use in the ma
jority of our schools. The American
Book Co., Chicago, ILL.,, is the publisher
of this desirable edition.

OPPOSITION GROWING.
Feeling That the General Lodge Picnic
Should be Postponed.

There is feeling growing that the
joint lodge picnic proposed to be held
on the Fourth of July should be post
poned until another year. or at least
until later in the season. On account of
this feeling, several of the strongest
organizations in the city have with
drawn from the enterprise, and others
are DIVIDED.
Some of the members of the Wood
man lodge feel that the Woodmen
should have clear field for their pic
mic, which will be one of the biggest
things ever held in the state if the pro-
per support is given by our citizens.
If another lodge picnic is gotten up, 1t
will divide the interest and subscrlp-
tions of the business men, and with the
feeling existing neither would be the
success that it would be if each had
claim to consideration, as they have
been planning for this picnic for more
than year, and are now putting forth
every effort and will draw heavily on
their own funds besides what they can
get from the public
Then again the date selected for the
joint fraternal picnic seems to be an
unfortunate one. 1t has been the de-
sire of the promoters of this affair to
get in lodges from other towns, but on
the Fourth of July all of the smaller
towns generally have celebrations and
the members of the different lodges
there will stay at home. The Fourth
of July is national holiday, and it is
argued that if the day is to be cele-
brated at all in Mankato it should be
celebrated in manner that every per-
son can join in, and not confined to the
secret orders any more than it should
to any particular denomination. The
celebration should be as broad as
American citizenship, Unless there is
such a celebration as this, the mer-
chants as rule prefer to close up and
enjoy their one summer holiday, and
the clerks are unanimous on this. 1t
has been demonstrated that the Fourth
of July is one of the poorest days for
general trade, even with a crowd in
town.
Mankato is already preparing for a
grand street fair, and between this and
the Woodmen picnic the merchants
will have their hands full in the way of
donations. For all of these reasons, it
is predicted that the joint lodge picnic
will not be the success, if it is held,
that it might be under more favorable
conditions, and if it is not to be a big
success, some think that it would be
better not to have it. as in that case it
might throw damper on the street
fair
