luck the local boys would have won;

Inc lot has been purchased, the plans
are all drawn, large building fund
mas been raised, and as soon as the
frost is out of the ground in the

sideration is $500.
The location is excellent, on the
corner of Broadway and Second South

OF the church members, who live on
the south side.
1t is the plan to up a modest but
substantial building of red brick,
20x60 feet in dimensions. It will be
one story in height with a large base

for Sunday school purposes. The up

Telephone Trouble.

Mankato with her double system of
telephone exchange is in trouble and
has appealed to the legislature for a
remedy. It seems that competition has
not worked to the best advantage of
the city and the board of trade pre-
sented a petition urging the legisla-
ture to place telephone and telegraph
companies under the jurisdiction of
the railroad and warehouse commits
sioners with power to fix rates and
compel reasonable service. Mankato
is particularly interested in obtaining
an arrangement whereby local systems
can connect with the long distance
system of the Northwestern Telephone
company. Mankato also wants the
telegraph companies to maintain a
night Office in that town.
