LOST SIGHT OF AN EYE.
Boys Play With Bows and Arrows
Bad Results.

ooyS RAY with Bows ana Arrows
Bad Results.
From Mondays Daily.
A most distressing accident occurred
at Ceylon on Friday which resulted in a
bright little boy losing the sight of an
eye with a prospect of becoming total
ly blind.
John Erickson and Rex Falb, two lit
tie boys aged six or seven years, were
at play with bows and arrows, when
an arrow from the Erickson boys bow
struck his companion in such man
ner as to completely destroy one eye
and injure the other so badly that DR..
McDade thinks it can not be saved.
The injured boy is a son of Charles
Falb, one of the hardware merchants
and the assessor of his town. Within
two hours from the time of the acct
dent he was on his way to Rochester
with the injured boy with hope that
Drs. Mayo could save the one eye and
prevent lifetime of total darkness for
his little son, and the Sentinel with
hosts of friends, hopes that he will meet
with success.-Fairmont Sentinel.

provide against this he had added u
proviso that the council can only by
a unanimous vote order the track re-
moved from the bridge.
w. /. Hixon said that the fewer re-
strictions are placed in the ordinance
the easier it will be to ,Otain eastern
capital. He asked that unanimous
vote be required.
A compromise was reached, so that a
five-sixths vote shall be required.
Mr.. Andrews brought up the matter
of iron poles and read letter from
Thomas +. Daily, an engineer who Wis
tied Mankato recently, in which it was
estimated that iron poles would cost
81, 900 to $500 more mile than Idaho
cedar, which looks very well when
painted He said that this sum of money
looks large now, and he hoped that the
council would allow wooden poles to
be used on Front street, but they
wouldn't quarrel about this point.
The second reading of the ordinance
was begun. The ordinance was amend
ed as proposed in reference to the use
of the bridge, but not as to substituting
wooden for iron poles on Front street.
Aid. Hampl moved that the third
readinU of the ordinance he nOstnoned
until the next meeting, but this re-
ceived no second.
The ordinance was then given its
third reading and adopted, unanimously.

James NJ. Broome Receives Letter
Regarding Young Mr.. Hamilton.
IN.sI

John M. Broome In letter received
from Captain Edward F. McGlachlin of
Artillery, stationed at Jolo Jolo, Phil.
ippine Islands, obtains the following
information with reference to his grand
son, James Hamilton, who is engaged in
that department of the military SER
vice: at is a pleasant and, 1 believe,
healthy place, and think you need
have no fear of serious illness for him.
Only such care as man should take
of himself at home is necessary to a
preservation of his strength and good
temper. Although Hamilton has been in
the service only a few weeks and has
therefore had hardly enough time to
become thorough soldier, his conduct
has been above reproach. I think he
has not even been reproved and wish all
our men promised as well as he."

ASSISTING A FACTORY.
Board Of Trade to Try to Sell Stock for
Mayer Bros.

From Mondays Daily.
How to help and encourage the May
Ter Brothers to make their factory a
great concern and to continue in its
career of success was the main topic
before the Board of Trade at this morn
ing's session.
The subject was preached by H, P.
Christensen, who said he was sorry to
see so few citizens present. We should
take care of the factories that are here.
Mayer Brothers foundry is one of the
best institutions in the city. Few really
appreciate its great Importance to the
city. They began in a small way but
tine institution has grown wonderful
ly. But they must have capital to get
along or must go somewhere else. 1t
would be a great loss to Mankato to
have them go. There is plenty of money
in Mankato and they will guarantee
seven per cent. The board should try
to work up the cause and keep the
factory. 1t is at present in its in
fancy. Some other city will yet gobble
it up if Mankato does not encourage it.
M. G. Willard said it was a proper
thing to put money into. The Mayer
Brothers are pushing fellows. Their
factory ought to be made big con-
Germ. They have made a great success
of their trip-hammer.
Thomas Hughes remarked that year
ago a committee was appointed to look
into the matter. These people should be
assisted.
Mr.. Christensen said that too many
in the city are fonder of investing in
outside speculations than in home. He
suggested that committee be appoint
ed to look into the matter and inter-
view the business men. He moved that
such a committee be appointed to see
the Mayer Brothers and get the neces-
sary information.
o. w. Schmidt thought committee
of the board could do more with the
business men than the Mayer Brothers
themselves could, particularly in the
way of selling stock.
The motion was carried.
President Pond appointed the manu-
featuring committee, consisting of c.
N. Andrews, w. A. Funk and A. G.

YOUNG LIFE CALLED HOME.
Miss Esther Hermina Larson Died
Yesterday Morning.
From Mondays Daily.

From Mondays Daily.
1t is sad shock to many people in
this community To hear of the death of
Miss Esther Hermina Larson, who died
yesterday morning at two o'clock at
the home of her parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Olaf Larson, 7l5 Belgrade avenue
North Mankato. Only a few days ago
Miss Larson came home from Grand
Forks, N. d., where she had been teach
ing school, having been obliged to dis
continue her duties there on account of
i'll health. She had long been suffer
ing with gastritis, but perseveringly
chung to her work, until it was sheer
impossibility to go farther.
Miss Larson was born in Sweden in
the year 1874. When she was eight
years old, the family moved to America,
and settled in Freeborn county, near
Alden. Later they lived at Wells. Miss
Larson, being of an ambitious and ener-
getic disposition, soon began to use
what opportunities were at nand to
gain an education. She studied with
exceptional diligence, and was so sue
cessful that when not more than six
teen years old, she received an election
to teach country school near Wells,
She proved at home in this profession
and made it her life-work.
Ten years ago, the family moved to
North Mankato. This gave Miss Larson
the opportunity of conveniently attend.
ing the normal, from which in due time,
she graduated, and then went on with
her school work. She has taught at
Royalton, Virginia, New Ulm and Grand
Forks, in which last-named city she
was elected for third year of service
not long ago. She not only succeeded
in giving satisfaction, wherever she was
employed, but had won steady advance
ment, until at Grand Forks she had the
eight grade.
Miss Larson is survived by both par
ents; one sister, Miss Mary Larson,
living at the family home; and by a
married brother, John Larson, whose
home is also in North Mankato. A num-
Der of relatives are living in and near
Wells.
the funeral will take place tomorrow
at two o'clock from the family home
and at 2:3O from the Swedish Luth
eran church.
Mrs. Catherine M. Jordan.
Mrs. Catherine M. Jordan died at
the family home, 329 North Broad
street. She was sixty-three years of
age. 1t is peculiar, though rather
melancholy circumstance, that she pass
ed away on Easter day, the anniversary
of her birthday. She had been more or
less ailing with a complication of di-
seases for some time past, but the i'm
mediate cause of death was heart
failure.
Mrs. Jordan was a widow. She is sur
vived by her two sons. Edward James
and Martin Charles Jordan, both living
at the family residence. She has also a
brother living in Mississippi and anoth-
er in Washington state. She was a
resident of Mankato during the past
thirty-six years, and was widely re-
spected and loved by all who knew her.
She was member of st. Johns Cath
Ollie church.
Funeral arrangements will be an
nOunced later.

KNOCKED THE SAINTS.
Mankato Boys Defeat Neighbors In
Base Ball Game.


From Mondays Daily.
Mankato boys were victors in the
two baseball games played last Sat
urday afternoon, one at Sibley park
and the other at st. Peter on the Gus
tavus Adolphus college campus. The
game at Sibley park, between the high
schools of Mankato and Waseca, was
won by the former by the decisive score
of IA to l. At st. Peter the Mankato
Commercial college boys downed those
OF Gustavus fSdolphus college by a
narrow margin, the score standing at
four to five.
The high school boys lined up at
Sibley park as follows: Morse Gates,
p, Henry Pitcher, c., Albert Moore, h.,
Dan Murphy (captain) 2b., Ed Cough
Ian, 3d., Ben Howard, &C., Rob Williams,
IT,, Ed Mountain, cf., and Nelson Root,
IF. Bob Kramer and Howard Comstock,
both of the Toland Business university,
were the umplreS.
The victorious Commercial college
team lined up: Carol Fish, c., Walter
Fish, p, Henry Collins, (captain) h.,
Mandus Just, 2b., Myron Nickerson, 3D.,
Carl Rush, S., Ivan Bowen, IT,, Remmes,
r., and Steinman, CT. The umpires
were Walter Plymat of Mankato and
Collins, the druggist at the state hos
pital at st. Peter.
Up to the ninth inning of the St.
Peter game it appeared that the Gus
tavus Adolphus boys had things pref
ty much their own way, the score stand
ing four to one in their favor at the
end of the eighth. In the first half of
the ninth, however, Mankato ran up
four points more, winning the game.
st. Peter had a good battery, con-
sisting of Blomberg at pitch and Kelly
at catch. Emil Ewensk at second base
and Francis Hughes at third did some
good playing for Gustavus Adolphus.
On Saturday, April 20, the Gustavus
Adolphus team will play the Mankato
Commercial college at Sibley park. The
Mankato high boys are scheduled to
play the high school of Lake Crystal in
that village on May 6.
