CAN TALK TO OUTSIDERS.
Mad ella Connected Up With MankatC
Citizens Telephone Exchange.

From Mondays Daily.
The crew of men who have been
stringing the through line wires of the
Mankato Citizens company which pass
through here struck town ON Monday.
They made the connections with our new
local system and now we have new
connection with the outside world.
Free service to Mankato and Lake
Crystal was given for the first three days
and will be continued all of this week.
Patrons of the local system should avail
themselves of this opportunity of test
ing the new line. The new line will be
extended to st. James and connected
with the southwestern Minnesota lines.
Secretary Sundberg, of the local COM
pany, and Manager Haskell of the Min
nesota Valley Telephone company went
to ST. James yesterday to arrange for
the connection of these lines.
The Citizens line gives connection
with the Twin City phones in st. Paul
and Minneapolis and great many other
points in the northwest. 1t furnishes
a very excellent long distance service in
every particular Times-Mes-
senger.

MANKsTO MEETS DEFEAT.
Eleven From Blue Earth Wins in Ex-
citing Football Game.
From Mondays Daily.

FROM Mondays Dally.
The Mankato high school eleven was
defeated by the Blue Earth team Satur
day by a score of % to IL, in we'll
fought contest 1t was good football
from start to finish, with Mankato eX-
ceiling in the hard, straight line rushes,
but Blue Earth having the advan-
tage in ability to run trick plays and
circle the ends. The play of both teams
was much stronger on otfense than de-
Tense, and the ball changed hands ON
downs only three or four times during
the whole game.
Blue Earth made the first score after
about three minutes of ball, and an end
run brought the first touchdown. Blue
Earth failed to kick goal. Mankato took
the ball ON the next kickoff and rushed
it eighty yards by straight line plunges
for a touchdown, and kicked goal. Man
kato scored again in this half, and was
only prevented from scoring again by the
call of time, with the ball in Man
kato's possession on Blue Earth's two
ward line. Score for first half. Man
kato II, Blue Earth 6.
The play in the second half was largely
in Mankato territory, and Blue Earth
scored three touchdowns, kicking goals.
Blue Earth was strongest in her ends,
and hid a number of clever trick plays
which the Mankato men seemed unable
to sglve. The Blue Earth interference
on the end plays was excellent, and it
I was only occasionally that the Mankato
bacl IS were able to get through and drop
tho runner Final score, Blue Earth
% Mankato r.
Neither side played kicking game,
| ahd the ball was carried throughout the
entire game, except for two quarterback
ticks by Mankato, neither of which
resulted in any decided gain. The score
aoes not, in a way, represent the merits
of the two teams, for in straight foot
ball ability the two teams are about
evenly matched Blue Earth is clever,
however, and her trick plays were well
executed. Her interference was excel
lent on the end runs, but Mankato's work
was much superior to Blue Earth's in
gaining through the line. This game
gives Blue Earth clear claim to the
championship of this section of the state,
and the large crowd of Blue Earth
rooters were highly elated at the result.

STATED TO THEIR DEATH
From Mondays Daily.

FROM Mondays Daily.
Partly drowned and partly chilled to
death two little boys of about twelve,
Floyd Thro and William Letter came
to an untimely end i'll Minnesota lake, a
mile and half from the village of that
name, yesterday morning about half
past ten o'clock. The boys had skated
out to get duck they had shot when
they broke through the ice and stood
neck deep in the water Another boy
who stood on the bank saw them 90 in
and hurried off to tell Oliver A. Thro,
father of one of the boys. Mr.. Thro
could do nothing until he procured a
boat by which time it was too late to
save the lives of the boys and the best
he could do was to bring their still warm
but dead bodies ashore The remains
of the Thro boy will be brought to the
city at seven o'clock tomorrow morning
and will be shipped to st. Peter for in
terment at one o'clock in the afternoon.
Oliver A. Thro, father of this boy, is a
brother of John c. Thro, the Mankato
druggist.

RESPONDED GRACEFULLY.
Members of Baptist Church Contribute
Money for Improvements.
From Mondays Daily.

-
A week ago the pastor of the First
Baptist church announced for the board
of officers that upon the morning of
November % an attempt to raise $1,000
for church improvement would be made.
During the subsequent week letters rela-
tive to the matter were sent out to the
members, and in response to them a
large congregation assembled yesterday
morning. After a sermon upon the
theme ''The Relationship of Love for
Gods House to the Development of the
Scriptual Life" Mr.. Miller announced
that he was ready to receive subscrip-
tions. Assisted by blackboard at the
top of which the words, "a Debtless
Dutiful Church." and covered with fig
ures representing the amounts desired,
and also aided by the ushers the pastor
began the canvass for money. Within
twenty minutes $3.50 had been subscrib-
ed, the largest amount being 5000 and
the smallest SIS. The remaining $3.50 is
in sight and will be provided by num-
Der of well-to-do absentees who sent
word that they would do their share.
This $1,000 will enable the church to
recarpet and clean the auditorium and
pay off $500 note, the last of the old
debt held against the organization for
the past twelve years. Pastor and peo-
pie have reason to feel much gratified
over the result of this effort

SUDDEN DEATH.
John finke Falls Over in Office of
Ryan House.
From Mondays Daily

from Mondays daily.
John Finke expired in the office of the
Ryan hotel on Main street very suddenly
at 9:05 o'clock last night, as he was jok-
ing and telling stories with six or seven
other patrons of the house. He seemed
to be all right during the evening. He
sat in the office during the first part of
the evening, keeping score at game of
cinch that several othere were playing.
Then he put on his overcoat and walked
out with companion for awhile. Re-
turning TO the hotel about $50 p. m,
he took OIL his overcoat and undercoat and
sat down and lighted his pipe and talked
the game over. He talked with the
others about the Columbia Panama
trouble, each telling in joking manner
what he would do if he were there.
Suddenly Mr.. Finke threw back his
head and gurgled, and then fell over in
his chair. At first those about him
thought that he was in fun, but they
soon realized that he was not acting a
part. They laid him upon lounge and
summond DR.. c. j. Holman, who soon ar,
rived and pronounced the man dead, from
heart failure.
Mr.. Finke was laboring man, single,
and his parents live in Germany, eigh-
teen miles from Hamburg. He has an
uncle and brother and sister living
at Jersey City, n. j. He was about
thirty eight years of age. He spent six
months in the city over year ago, work
ing for Mahlke & Frankson, the contrac-
tors. Thirteen months ago he went to
Vernon Center and worked on Mr. Klatt's
farm for twelve months. He returned to
the city a month ago, suffering some
what from rheumatism and cold, but
seemed to get better, although he did not
go to work at anything. His trunk is
still at Mr.. Klatt's. He left little
money in the bank, besides what was
coming to him from Mr.. Klatt.
Coroner Kennedy was summoned, but
decided that no inquest was necessary.
The deceased was very pleasant man,
and was well liked by all who knew him.
The remains will be shipped to Jersey
City for burial.

When boy mas learned agriculture he
is much better off than in a so-called
learned profession. He can learn it
much cheaper Why then should he seek
one of the over crowded learned profess
sions2 Secretary Wilson says "The So
called learned professions have been
over-done and the supply exceeds the de-
mand. The one class more than all 9th
ers that is to become wel-to-do is the
farmer who owns the soil that is be-
coming every day more valuable" A
