MAPLETON.
From the Enterprise

From the enterprise
Last Thursday night some young
fellows, in happy disposition OF
mind, thought it would be fun to
knock out the windows of the M. E.
church and carried out the plan to the
extent of throwing a couple of sticks
of wood through the windows. The
church authorities have the names of
the parties implicated and by notice
posted in the postoffice have given
them an opportunity to settle up
rather than give them the severe
punishment provided by the laws of
the state.
The small pox situation is very much
improved and the schools will be open
next week Monday. But two new
cases have put in an appearance dur
ing the last ten days, one at Flynn s
and one at VIM. Pagenkopf's. At
VIM. Hanna's the quarantine has been
raised. It has been suggested that the
school can make up good share OF
the lost time by not having the usual
spring vacation of one week and con-
tinuing the school one week longer at
the end of the term.
The examination of the books Of the
Beauford Creamery has been completed
and the expert bookkeeper. Mr.. Whsle,
finds that Mr.. Herzberg, the manager
is not only a good manager but an
exceptionally fine accountant, his
books being almost perfect. The result
of this investigation is especially
pleasing to Mr.. Herzbergs friends in
view of the many rumors which were
set in motion affecting his character.
No creamery in the state has made a
better showing than has the one at
Beauford and the credit is largely due
the manager, and the buttermaker.
Messrs. James Mclaughlin and VIM.
Troendle returned home from Mime
apolis Monday whittier they had been
to investigate plans for the new Cath
olic church. The gentleman after
consulting with an architect, are con-
WINGED that the plans previously con-
sidered were about what was desired,
with few changes. 1t is proposed to
put up good building or postpone
construction for another year. The
building contemplated would be an
ornament to the town and all of ouI
people, regardless of religious belief,
would be proud of it if constructed Of
good material.
Mr.. Alex Krengel, of Beauford, g
brother of Mr.. Chas. Krengel, the
we'll known Mapleton contractor, was
married on Wednesday, to Miss
Amanda Geger of the same township.
Mr.. Krengel is man of good quail
ties, an intelligent and energetic young
farmer who is held in high regard by
all who have the honor of his &C
quaintance. The bride is daughter
of Mr.. NJ. Geger, Of Beauford, and
will make q splendid helpmate to Mr.
Krengel. The marriage ceremoy wa
performed at the Lutheran church BY
Pastor Kilian, in the presence of {

The officers express the belief that

widow, whom, 1t is alleged, he had
agreed to marry. Klump has beer
married twice and his first wife lives
in Lowell. It is claimed that the other
