From the Enterprise

From the Enterprise:
Mr.. F. Thayer, Mankato archi-
tect, was in town Tuesday, comforting
with the school board relative to the
proposed addition. Mr.. Thayer does
not deem it a wise move to build an
addition onto the present building.
The most luxuriant growth of rye
that we have ever seen was sample
left at this Office by Mr.. J. L. Kohler,
secured from the field of Chris Blum
of Lyra towship. 1t measured six
feet, eight inches and had head fully
five inches long.
A special meeting of the council
was held Monday evening for the con-
sideration of the sewer question. The
matter was talked over at some length.
but no action taken. More investi ga
tions will be made before work is actu-
a lily commenced.
During the heavy wind Sunday, the
new barn of Mr.. Frank Goodrich, of
Medic, was moved from its foundation
about foot and a half, the north end
blown out and the entire building
wrecked so badly that it was found
necessary to tear it down.
President James and Manager Will
lard of the Citizens Telephone line,
were in town Saturday completing ar
rangements for the installation of the
local exchange at this point. Active
work will now commence as soon as the
poles arrive, all the other material be-
ing on the ground.

MEDO VOTES BONDS.
Chicago & Northwestern Road is Flirting
With Capt, Reed.

: The township of Medo Friday
voted to issue 81. 200 in bonds to aid in
the construction of the Duluth, ST.
Cloud, Glencoe & Mankato railroad.
The proposition received rs votes for to
35 against.
Other towns will vote on bond pro-
positions this week. -
The following from the Albert Lea
Tribune will be of interest in this
connection:
President Reed presented the claims
of the proposed Duluth, st. Cloud,
Glencoe & Mankato road to the bust
ness committee of the Commercial club
and said while he did not expect a
bonus from Albert Lea but he did
want the moral support of the people,
as it might influence the Illinois Cen
trail to take hold of the matter, some
thing he had not been able to accom-
plish thus far, although the Central
people had said they would operate the
road when built.
Capt. Reed said a proposition had
been received from the Chicago &
North Western to build from Kiester
through Wells to connect with their
line at Mankato or from Joice, Win
nebago county, Iowa, to this city
and then to Mankato, and this would
probably be the most satisfactory to
Albert Lea. as it would bring another
extensive line here and the G. & N.
W. has long wanted an entrance to this
city.
AS result of the conference a COM
mittee consisting of Messrs. G. W.
Ransom, Harry Jones, Augustus Arm
strong, W. A. NORM and W. F. Gage,
was named to look into the matter and
suggest a resident director if deemed
advisable and one could be secured.
Capt. Reed went to New Richland
from here.

A SOUTHERN IDEA.

A bill has been introduced into the
Georgia legislature to prevent child
rem under the age of twelve becoming
wage earners in factories The neces-
sity of such law is evident for other
wise both the health of the children
and their education is neglected. 1t
pays to build up your health while
young. An ounce of prevention is
worth pound of cure but if you need
a cure the best is Golden Grain
Belt beer. 1t tones up the blood and
gives new strength to the entire body.
Brewed from the purest barley malt
and hops, it is delicious and healthful.
Order case of your nearest dealer or
be supplied by M. J. Smith, Mankato.

FORTY PLUNKS.
Stranger Says He Was Doped
and Robbed.
VIM. Milne, an Iowa Farmer, Gets Into
Bad Company While Taking
Trip.

VIM. Milne, a farmer living near
George, Iowa, claims to have been rob-
bed of a pocket book containing $40.
ticket to Northfeld and two keys.
He was locked up Thursday evening
| shortly after supper by Officer Bienapf,
who found him wandering about on
State street in an intoxicated condi-
tion, frightening children by threaten
ing to blow them up with dynamite.
Milne, who is Scotchman and is
over forty years of age, and unmar-
ried, says that he arrived in the city
over the Omaha road at one o'clock
Thursday afternoon, on his way to
Mortified to visit sister. He says
that he walked to the Great Western
depot and purchased a ticket for
Mortified. AS he had several hours to
spare, he asked bystander at the de-
pot where he could find saloon, and
offered to treat him if he would show
him to the place.
Milne accompanied the man, whose
name he did not learn, TO saloon a
few blocks away, where they had sew
eral beers, he paying for all but one.
He had already had some whisky on
the train, and after taking a few
drinks at the saloon does not remember
anything more that happened until he
was locked up. When searched he had
no money. but an empty pocket book,
a watch, valise, etc. The valise
contained bottle Of whisky and some
clothing. This morning, when he dis
covered that he had no money, he
claimed that he had .been doped in the
saloon and robbed. He said that his
pocketbook was taken and the empty
one substituted in its place. He had
displayed his money when he paid for
the drink The only description which
he can give of his companion is that
he was rather small and had a sandy
beard
The police madeea search for Milne S
companion this forenoon.
Mines story has been substantiated
by several witnesses. A stranger an
swering the description was seen
drinking with him and accompanied
him to barn in the rear of South
Front street saloon. After being there
some time, the two went down the al
ley to street, and Milne was then left
by his companion. This was at 5 40

RAIN AND HAIL.
Cutters Overflow Again and Flood Some
Easements.

At shortly after two o'clock Friday
afternoon, heavy rain and hail storm
passed over the city, and later another
rain fell. Over an inch must have
fallen. The storm was accompanied by
wind and electricity, and good deal
Of hail fell.
The capacity of some of the cutters
was taxed. At first they carried the
water off, but gradually the catch
basins choked up and floods occurred.
In this way, six inches of water got
into the basement of Rosenberger &
Curriers' candy factory, which has
been flooded several times before.
They are unable to state what their
loss is. The easements of 81. r.
Kurth and the National Citizens bank
were also flooded.
A great many people were caught
out in the rain, as the storm came
up suddenly.
1t is not thought that the hail did
much damage to the crops. The
shower seemed to be local one. 1t
followed a very warm and sultry fore
noon

ONE-THIRD PAID.
Delinquent Special Assessments are Be.
ing Wiped off the Books.


The sale of delinquent assessment
certificates by the city is going steadily
ahead. For May the certificates sold
and the redemptions made footed up
to $1,O73. Since then, and up to yes
terday morning, the total has been
further increased by the sum of 81, 353,
or So, 1926 in all. This is about one
third of the delinquent assessments
outstanding. and the balance is expect
ed to be settled up soon.
Property where the assessments are
not settled up by fall, and where the
redemption period has expired, will
pass into new hands permanently.
Thirty-eight property owners pur-
chased the certificates against their
own property, in order to prevent it
falling into other hands, and to them
redemption certificates have since been
issued.
A good many who have not yet set
tied up their assessments are in hopes
that the council will let them off, par
TALLY at least. Whatever the council
does will be of it's own free will and
accord, as the time has passed when
the property owners can demand a
change if injustice was done. 1t may
be that there are cases where reduc-
tions should be made, but the council
will undoubtedly be slow to reduce any
of the assessments, for when begin
ming is made it is hard to draw the
line and still be fair to those who have
paid. Some of those who could least
afford to do so have paid the promptest.
Then again the city has been forced to
borrow money at seven and eight per
cent to pay for the work done where
the assessments have not been paid.
If the council does not act carefully
in this matter, it will be offering a
premium to those who allow their as
sessments to become delinquent, when
its acts should be such as to encourage
prompt payment.

DESTRUCTIVE RUNAWAY.
George Sanger's Dray Team Goes on a
Tear.

Tear.
George Sanger's dray team ran away
on Hickory street at 8 10 clock Satur-
day forenoon, doing much damage. 1t
started from the Milwaukee depot and
ran at a rapid pace up the street. By
the side of the First National bank
building it collided with Philip
Hodapp's buggy, and almost complete
ly demolished it, only one whole wheel
remaining. Mr.. Hodapp's horse did
not run.
A little further up the street horse
was frightened and broke away from
the carriage to which it was hitched
and ran away.
In front of the Fruit Co. 8 old loca-
ton the team ran into a milk wagon
and overturned it, and spilled the con-
tents of twenty cans of milk. The
team was stopped here. One of the
horses was injured in the breast by re-
ceiving puncture.

are now waiting to be filled and he
expects that the output will be taken

but are unable to throw any light on
the subject. Night Engineer Grady
states that he visited the part of the
basement where the fire broke out hall
an hour before the blaze was discov-
cred and that there was no sign of fire
there then. This was about one O. clock
or shortly afterwards.
Sparks.
The elevator could not be operated
today, on account of the water in the
basement.
The fremen deserve great credit for
their work. They worked intelli-
gently, and stopped the fire without
unnecessary damage to the building or
it's contents. James Berry of the CEN
trail station was nearly overcome by
smoke while working in the basement,
and others fought the fire in the smoke,
which was dense enough to cut in the
basement.
A basement fire is the most difficult
to cope with. One thing--that prevent
ed the spread of the fire in this case
was the solid fire walls that cut the
basement up. These confined the
flames to comparatively small space.
and prevented them from reaching the
elevator shaft. Had they reached that
shaft, more serious results would have
followed. The hotel is constructed in
such way, however, as to prevent
any fire in other parts of the basement
from reachingt he elevator shaft.
Among the guests were Mr.. and Mrs.
Stevens of Salina, Kas., who were on
their way to Lake Washington to spend
a few days. They made their exit
minus their foot wear.
One travelling man who had left his
shoes in his room on the fourth floor
sat on his sample case on the side

Rooms and 10 suffered the most,
as the wire shaft runs up the corners
an d it was necessary to pry off the
sides of it in order to turn in water
and chemicals.
Mr.. and Mrs. Saulpaugh were among
the first awakened, Clerk Scott break
ing the news to them. So many rail
road whistles blow in that neighbor-
hood that the fire alarm was not not
iced by Mrs. Saulpaugh, who was
awake at the time.
None of the stores and Offices on the
first floor suffered any damage from
the smoke.
One of the guests, while on his way
down the fire escape, blocked it at
the second story to ask whether Mr.
Snyder intended to charge for the
nights lodging.
Clerk Brookins arrived early on the
scene and rendered valuable assistance
