SHEDS BURNED.

A number of sheds and outbuildings
in the rear of No. 208 North Second
street, owned by F. G.. Heinze and oc-
cupied by Wagon Bros. and others were
at 800 this morning discovered to be
on fire. An alarm was turned in from
box % and was quickly responded to
by the fire department who had little
difficulty in soon getting the same
under control. The origin of the fire is
thought to have been caused by "a spark
from the engine of merry goround
which was stationed near by. The loss
to the building and contents is about
$500 with no insurance.

highly favorable, starting in with
light shower early in the morning to
lay the dust and coming out bright and

if it did they were not missed in the
crowd that came.
Before any of the special trains ar
rived, Front street was alive with
strangers who had come in during the

decorations of branches and leaves gave

A SWEET LIFE ENDED.
Mrs. Jay Hubbard Passes Away Last
Evening at the Home of Her Mother.

Evening al the nome OF her m0tnef.
The many friends of Mrs. Jay Hub
bard were greatly panied, if not
shocked, this morning to learn that
death had taken her from her loved
ones and all that was dear in this life.
She passed away at the home of her
mother, Mrs. Lavina Osborn, on Agency
hill, where she and Mr.. Hubbard were
staying until their beautiful new home
should be ready for occupancy.
Miss Mary L. Osborn was born in the
house where she died twenty eight
years ago, and was married to Mr. Jay
Hubbard Sept. 14th, 1898. Mr.. and
Mrs. Hubbard were an exceptionally
happy couple, having been lovers from
their youth up, and graduated from tine
Mankato high school in the same class
She attended the state university one
year, and afterwards graduated from the
kindergarten course at st. Louis. She
taught in our public schools, the normal
school and three years at Marshall,
MINI.
The deceased leaves, besides her grief
stricken husband a widowed mother,
two brothers and three sisters, VIM. J.
Osborn, DR.. Ida Osborn and Louis
M, Clarissa and Ellanor Osborn, to
mourn one whose life has been full Of
loving kindness and devotion Her
father who was in the senior class of a
state university, left school and enlist
ed in the civil war where he served
four years and four months. He was
never strong after this and died fifteen
years ago of the same disease which
took his daughter away.
Mrs. Hubbard was member of the
Presbyterian church from child
hood and has always lived a
DEVOTED Christian life. She had
never been ill in her life until
seven weeks ago today, when she was
taken with hemorrhages and afterwards
failed rapidly until quick consumption
claimed her. Her death was peaceful
and her beautiful young life went out
with the twilight at $50 o'clock last
evening. Many will be the hearts to
sympathize with this stricken
family in their bereavement.
The funeral will be held lat the home
of Mrs Osborn at 3 o'clock tomorrow
afternoon, conducted by Rev, Geo. R.
Davis.
