Anxious to convince the Columbus
stockholders that a capable manager
for the 1903 season is wandering Sbout
footloose, G. Fox backed Hiram Nc
Mackin up to the hard pine bench in
the eighth and proceeded to butt into
the play. Cap'n Fox's sudden appear

noon, and though the Saints worked
an extra round, the win never came
back. Score, to 5. H. Lumley migh5

Bailey's long drive, but third place is
now boxed up tight, and as several of
the eleventh hour hirelings hope to be
offered new contracts, it may have

The main feature of the affair was
the cheese glume work of Mr.. Figg
meier. AS the Saints lost, it is bad
form to blame it on the jumps, but
Mr.. Figgmeier has it coming. If the

are requested to pull for a win.

sad affair, G.. Fox never stopped be-

covered when H. Bailey neglected to
hurl himself in front of young Belden,
who attempted to tally on a single

Higgins. When J. Hurley patted the
ambitious young man on his collar

of Bailey as a coacher was worth go

Saints Score Lead.
When conditions changed the Saints
held the Senators to 8. Two singles,
passed ball, a sacrifice hit and a free
pass gave the Saints their first pair
in the second, and after Ferguson and
Egan had singled in the fourth, R.
Miller hit for three bases. Quite fine
for pitcher. Two more runs in.
In the fifth r. Miller issued two
passes, and two singles mixed in with
the permits gave the Senators two. A

Saints. Two singles and a double steal
got the third counter for Columbus.

unless it is we'll painted, we'll papered

Guiding that these are requisite the
next thing that confronts US is where
is the proper place to go to procure
what we want at the best possible

instruction and advice in painting

After due consideration we could go

A portion of the first floor is used
for Office purposes. In the rear OF the
Offices is the shipping room, Sox'o

floor is the store room, where the
product is kept before being boxed and
shipped.
81. A. Devoux is president of the
World Stock Food Co. and L. Wagner
is the secretary. Both are energetic
young men with plenty of pluck and
enterprise. The company is sure to
build up large and profitable bust
ness, and it's success thus far has ex-
ceeded its anticipations. With the
excellent shipping facilities in Manka-
to, the company's outlook is much
more favorable than at any time in
the past.
Situated in the center of fine stock
country, it is to be expected that Man
kato should have an industry devoted
to the improvement of stock, and the
World Stock Food Co. has risen to the
opportunity offered.
The company also has distribu-
ring Office at Grinnell, Iowa, which is
used to facilitate the distribution OF
their food in the adjoining states.

of sixteen, when leaving home and
friends he struck out alone for his

working for farmers and learning
the English language. He afterward

watched the Photographic world care
fully for all discoveries and improve

keep thoroughly up to date. Withal
he is good advertiser and careful

His work is excellent and having ha6
considerable experience in photo

COL. GUSTAV WIDELL.

The extensive railroad building
in the west during the past five years
is an incentive to the stone business
and the two are very closely allied.
Just so rapidly as the railroads enter
unsettled country will the business of
the stone men increase. Then too, the
fact that Mankato is rapidly becoming
railroad center is also matter of
great Importance, and as the prospects
are bright for the further work along
this line, the stone men feel that they
may look for a steady growth from
this time forward.
Col. Widell has been in the stone
business for many years. He was born
in Sweden in 1869 and came to Amer
lea twenty years later. He was never
afraid of work and was employed on
the railroad and later in the quarries
as laborer until he became foreman
for his brother, Fred. In 1898 he
bought half interest there and re-
NAMED in partnership until the death
of his brother in the spring of 1894.
He has conducted the business alone
since that time. He bought the bust
ness and leased the quarries of the
estate for time, later purchasing
them and is now sole proprietor.
A large number of men are employ
ed both in the quarries and in doing
the contract work. Mankato men are
employed and sent wherever required.
Mr.. Widell is always at the front in any
enterprise that will help those in dis
tress. He is valuable citizen and
one of whom Mankato is justly proud,
and is ready to do all in his power to
aid any enterprise that makes for the
good of his home city.
