A TOUCHING SERVICE.
Funeral Sunday of the Late Mrs. Chas.
Hantz, of South Bend.

The large attendance at the funeral
of Mrs. Chas. Huntz at South Bend
Sunday showed the esteem in which
she was held. Born in Germany in
1892, she came to South Bend in 1866,
where she lived ever since. She was
thrice married. She leaves a husband
and five children: f. Ct. Pannenberg,
N. P. Ohlson and Mrs. Hannah Robin
son of this city, and Mrs. Carrie White
and Henry Gibson of Seattle.
The deceased was for many years a
member of the First Congregational
church of this city. She was a woman
of strong personality, fervent and
simple in her religious faith. Among
her papers were found in poetic form
expression of her inmost life. Some of
these were read at the funeral by Rev.
7. Merrill Edmands, who spoke of the
cheerfulness and naturalness with
which she had talked of her departure
when it was evident that she could
not live long. Her life was the best
possible preparation for her death and
an inheritance for her children better
than silver and gold.
The singing was by the C~ongrega-
tional choir: President G. II. Cooper,
Mr.. and Mrs. Evan Hughes and Miss
Pearl Moses, and was greatly appreci-
ated by all present. The large attend
ance of friends. the comforting music,
the beauty of the flowers, the bright :
ness of the day and the hopefulness of
the life that was gone, all tended to
soften the sorrow of death.
1t made all feel the force Of the
preachers text, ''Let Me Die the
Death of the Righteous, and let my
Last end be Like His"
The interment was made in the
Minneopa cemetery.

1t will be noted upon a perusal of
the foregoing statistics that Mankato
has had from the beginning a steady
and healthy growth both in population
and business. There is every reason to
believe that this growth will continue.
There has been for the last year or
two a scarcity of dwelling house.
The demand has exceeded the supldy.
This will stimulate building enter
prise in the coming season. The 300
travelling statesmen who live in Man
kato give evidence also that this is an
excellent central point for communi-
eating with all parts of the Northwest
and consequently for manufacturing
and jobbing business. The railroad
from Albert Les to Mankato and thence
to Glencoe, st. Cloud and Duluth
seems now certain to be built and will
add another outlet to those furnished
by the four railroads already in opera
ton. Added to this there seems a
strong probability that an electric line
will soon be built connected with an
electric lighting and power plant. Ne
gotiations are now we'll under way for
this project which when consummated
will give us not only rapid transit
within the city but will connect us
with other towns with which we have
not yet had connection by railroad.
Mankato has now grown to such a size
and Importance that no railroad COM
pany can afford to pass it by.
A Review of the Work Done by the
Board of Trade Since Its Organization.
The Mankato board of trade was in

peaches, pears and plums from Cali
fornia. Lemons from Missouri. Con-
siderable fruit is raised in the vicinity
of Mankato and brought in by farmers.
This consists principally of apples,
melons and berries and is estimated
at about $40, 600 This makes the total
fruit trade of the city $3.50, 600.
DRY GOODS, CLOTHING AND
SHOES-Sales of dry goods amounted
to 1895, 600; of ready-made clothing
$3.50, 900; shoes $92, 900 and millinery
(estimated) $40, 600, making the total
sales of all wearing apparel 1862, 600.
LUMBER Sales are reported at
$50, 600. This is a slight increase but
the high prices of all building
material have operated to diminish
the amount of building. Lumber
dealers and contractors predict an in
crease in 1901 especially in dwelling
houses of which the present supply is
not equal to the demand.
FURNITURE-This business shows
an increase of fifty per cent. The sales
of the year 1900 amount to 1920, 600.
BUTTER AND EGGS-Dealers re-
port shipments of %, 600 cases or $40, :
600 dozen eggs and 400, 900 pounds of
butter.

mol articles of merchandise i'm 1900

WHAT NEXT?

The supreme court of Minnesota,
following a decision of the United
States supreme court, has recently de-
cided that special taxes for street i'm
provement, levied on the frontage are
unlawful and cannot be collected.
Now does it not necessarily follow
that if the city of Mankato makes the
contemplated improvements on upper
Second street that the cost cannot be
collected from the AUDITING lots, and
will have to be paid out of the general
funds of the city. NJ.

Much Talk About Site for Public Library
Building.

There was nothing new Saturday in
regard to the public library building.
President Wood has not yet received
Congressman McCleary's letter.
A good deal of discussion is being
INDUCED in regarding a site for the
building, and the sentiment in favor of
locating it on Fourth or Broad streets
in preference to Second is growing.
Some of our leading citizens have
taken up Mayor Curriers' suggestion
published by the Free Press yesterday.
Practically everybody is in favor
of carrying out the conditions and
securing the full gift of $40, 600.
