NicolIet County Telephone Company
Holds Its Annual Meeting.

Stockholders of the Nicollet County
Telephone company, at their annual
meeting in st. Peter, elected M. p.
Quist, president; w. G. Laumann, Sec
rotary; f. M. Donahower, treasurer,
and C. C. Nelson, general manager.
This company is one of the most inn
portant independent organizations in
Minnesota. Since the last annual meet
ing it has built two exchanges, with
their contingent lines, and now opens
and operates exchanges at st. Peter,
Cleveland, Kasota, New Sweden, Nicollet,
Gaylord, Gibbon and Lafayette, and has
some $50 miles of wire. An unusually
large expenditure was made during 1905
for additions and improvements, but in
spite of this the company was able to
declare dividend of 10 per cent.
The directors elected are: C. C. Nell
son, NJ. p. Quist, New Sweden; A. w.

a complete ruin, and only the. walls OF
the dry kiln remain Standing, and part
of it has fallen. The dry kiln was re;
Gently built, but the TEST of the build
ing was of frame obstruction and very
inhamable, especially as it contained
much lumber that was in process Of be-
ing made up. The firm places its loss
at $4,000, and carried but $3.50 insur-
ance.
Fortunately the laf4ber she'd across
the alley was not dp .daged, and its stock
of lumber is intact Conrad Klein,
schmidt also lost small barn across
the alley, valued at perhaps 500.
Mr.. Walters estimates his loss Oh
barn and contents at 5000, with no in
surance. He, assisted by his family
was able to save his horses and the best
of his harnesses, but it was close call
and his son, Burt, got his feet burned
There was not time to dress, but the
family had to turn out in their night
clothing to save what they could. The
old harnesses, tools, rope, feed, etc, was
burned in the barn. Mr. Waters
house was also damaged by sparks that
burned holes in the roof, and by water
that soaked through these holes and raj
down the walls in the rooms. He car.
ries $3.50 insurance ON the house.
Henry Harding's barn was burned
with loss of 500 or more, and no in
surance. Ben T.. Monson's house anC
barn were scorched.
Mr.. Walters states that when he first
saw the fire it seemed to be in the cen
ter of the factory, and he believes that
his barn caught from the factory.
The fire was a bad one, and the fire
men were at work until six o'clock this
morning before they could leave.
A carload of lumber that had been re-
ceived by Macbeth & Gardner for the
Mankato Fair association was partially
burned. The lumber had been turned
over to Kleinschmidt Brothers to be
dressed, and the loss falls upon Mac
beth & Gardner 1t will cause little
delay in completing the carpenter work
at the fair grounds.

Plant of Interior Decoration
Company Is Destroyed.
DAMAGE FooTs UP $4,000.
Several Barns Burned and Houses
Scorched; Work Of An incendiarY,
II Is Believed.

Fire early this morning inflicted a
heavy loss upon the Mankato Interior
Decoration company, otherwise known
as Kleinschmidt Brothers, and smaller
loss upon several individuals owning
property in the vicinity of the com.
panys factory. 1t was about 1:3O a.
m. when the factory building was dis.
covered to be on fire, and the flames al
most Immediately spread through it
with great rapidity. The central station
firemen were notified by telephone, and
just as they were leaving the station
someone sent in an alarm from box 49,
When the firemen reached the scene
of the fire the flames were bursting
forth from all sides, and E. V. Wat
ters' barn, adjoining, was also in
flames. 1t was seen that the assistance
of the entire department would be need
ed, and second alarm was at once
turned in. Soon after this, someone else
turned in third alarm. The lack of
sufficient men was felt at first, but the
deficiency was soon filled, and three lines
of hose were laid and as many streams
of water were turned on. Chief Klein
schmidt, as well as eight or ten of the
leading volunteer fremen being at the
state fremen's convention at lie Sueur,
First Assistant Engineer B. Bangerter
Jr. took charge of the operations of the
department.
The efforts of the fremen were di-
rected mainly to the saving of adjoining
property, for sparks as big as a mans
hand were floating around, borne by a
slight west wind over the city, as far as
the malt house. Had there been a
strong wind there might have been much
more damage done. Houses and barns
were built closely together in the neigh
borhood of the factory, and several of
them took fire and were destroyed, in.
ed to the ground. The factory was also
entirely destroyed
1t is not known how the fire started.
but there are strong suspicious that it
was the work of an incendiary. 1t is
thought by some to have started be.
tween the factory building and Mr.. Wat
ters' barn, where there was a space of
about two feet From there it spread
through both buildings with great speed,
as both were dry as finder. If the fire
was started purposely, there is no clue
to the fire bug
Kleinschmidt Brothers suffer heavy
loss. Their large two story factory,

When madame says "hein?" it sounds

SPECIAL TRAIN SERVICE.
Great Western Will Further Accom-
modate Its Patrons.

To better accommodate those who
wish to spend the day or part of the
day at the lake, the Great Western will
put coach on their Sunday afternoon
freight and start from Mankato at one
o'clock sharp. This train will reach
Madison Lake at Las p. NJ, and the re-
turn can be made on the regular train
leaving there at $3.50 p. m. This will
give full half days time at this beau
tifuI resort and no doubt it will be
literally patronized. The first date will
be Sunday, June 18th, and if it meets
with sufficient patronage to cover the
expense of handling the extra equipment
the train will be continued throughout
the summer season.
