Aud House and Contents Were Totally
DESTROYED by Fire as a Result.

Fire destroyed the house belonging
to the estate of Joseph F. Englerth

ITO clock Wednesday. The, house
was occupied by Earl Englerth, a son

THE MANKATO EXTENSION.

The Minneapolis Journal says that
President Earling and Vice President
Bird of the.Milwaukee, who have been
on tour of inspection of lines west of
the Mississippi, did not discuss the
Mankato extension proposition while
in Minneapolis AMIDST. Paul except in
the most casual..way According to a
Minneapolis official of the road, the
proposed line from Mankato to the
twin cities via. Pennington is the
only feasible route that would not dis
criminate against st. Paul, as the di-
vision of trains at Mendoza would
make it about an even thing between
the two cities.

in DEMAND.
State Fair Premiums Lists Are
Very Much Wanted.
Minnesota State Fair Attracts Much
Attention Among People Outside
of the State.
st. Paul Pioneer Press :

ST. Paul Pioneer Press:
Premium lists for the annual state
fair, to be held Sept. to Z, indicate
that it will be the.most comprehensive
in the history of the state. The great
fair of 1900 went down into history as
a record breaker, even in state that
is noted for these annual exhibits OF
the resources of the commonwealth.
Visitors and exhibitors were attracted
from other states by reason of the
liberal premiums that were offere
The extensive patronage that the fair
enjoyed at that time has enabled the
board of managers to make its plans
on a still more ambitious scale.
Inquiries have already come to Sec
rotary Randall as to the date of. the
fair and the facilities for caring Tor
exhibits. Premium lists have been
scattered broadcast over the country.
The inducements held out to exhibit
tors this year are far in excess OF any
preceding year Special attention has
been given to the live stock exhibits
with a view of stimulating active and
healthy competition. An effort is be-
ing made to secure the best types of all
breeds of each class of the domestic
animals-horses, cattle, sheep, swine
and poultry.
The elimination of this plan will
afford to the people of the state and of
other states, an opportunity to study,
at close range, the peculiar qualifica-
tions of each breed and to enable stock
men select the animal that will best
serve his purpose. These animals are
all judged by experts whose decisions
may be guidance to intended pur-
chasers. Such object lessons have rare
educational value and are in line with
the excellent work that is being done
by farmers throughout the country.
The coming fair is designed as an
entertainment as we'll as school of
instruction and attractive amusement
features have been secured. The pro-
gram will not be completed until the
opening day of the fair, because the
management will watch closely for any
features that may add to the pleasure
of the visitors. The race program has,
of course, been made out. The board
of managers will put a new plan in
operation this year, in connection with
the.races.
In former years. Wednesday and
Thursday were thesdays on which the
big racing events occurred and the
largest number of visitors were re-
corded on these two days. The big
crowds on these two.days could not be
handled readily with the facilities that
were then provided. This year the
So, 900 purse guaranteed by Minneapo-
lis business men will be hung up on
Tuesday and the race for the st. Paul
purse will occur on Friday. On We'd
nesday and Thursday there will be two
81, OO0ssharness events each day in ad-
dition to high class running races. 1t
is thought that this arrangement will
serve to spread the attendance over the
entire week and add to the comfort of
the state fair visitors.

CONGREGATIONAL EXPANSION
The Church Pastor Proposes an Addition
10 the Building.

In sermon last Sunday, Pastor Ed
mands set forth plan for the rebuild
ing of the church edifce. The Sunday
school has grown so large that there is
not sufficient roo m, and plan was
shown for the building of an addition
that would provide facilities for the
Sunday school and the social life of the
church. 1t included tower and re-
arrangement of the vestibules, and If
these plans were carried out they
would furnish facilities for work that
would be ample and the cost would not
be very much. The church has taken
no action, but the need is fully
realized.

BY WAY OF MARSHALL.
Chicago Great Western will be Extended
West This Year.

A dispatch from Redwood Falls to
the Minneapolis Journal says:
The Great..Westren and Chicago &
North-We stern railroad row in Red
wood county is on in earnest. The
Great Western corps of surveyors en-
tered the county from Sleepy Eye last
Friday. Their line of crossing the
North Western is about three miles
west of Sleepy Eye, tapping the rich
township of Brookville, and also the
northern portion of Shutdown, two
wealthy Redwood county townships.
According to Assistant Chief Engineer
Morgan of the Great Western, an air
ine-through Redwood county to Wa
basso and to Marshall, Lyon county, is
in mind. From Marshall, he says, the
surveyors are Instructed to proceed due
west, passing out of the state at about
Hendricks, another Chicago & North
Western town recently built up by rea-
son of the extension of the North
Western branch from Tyler.
The Northwestern surveyors have
reached Marshall, in making their sur
vey from Morgan, GREENWOOD =. county,
throughss.Wabasso. and to. Marshall:
The right-o -way.agent of the company
made his appearance last Thursday,
and at once commenced making con-
tracts for right of-way, paying s.
down to the farmers over whose land
the survey was made, the balance tc
be paid when the deeds are called for.
Mr.. Morgan assured the Journal cor
respondent that the road would be
built from Mankato west to the state
line this year, no matter what the
North Western does. If both lines are
built they will run from 100 feet tc
within two miles of each other from
Morgan to Marshall.
