HOT TIME IN LIE SUEUR.
Firemen Respond to Burlesque Runs
Defeat Resolution.

lie Sueur, June l4.-There was but
little rest for nervous folks in lie Sueur
Tuesday night for the firemen as a rule
did not go to bed at all, but celebrated
their joyous acceptance of the city's hos
pitality all night long.
There were two real fires to enter
tain them, not very serious ones and of
incendiary origin, it is presumed, and
this morning many fires were started il
barrels and boxes on the streets and
burlesque runs to them with wagons and
farm machinery for trucks and garden
hose for throwing water.
The great tent covered bowery dance
on a floor 5Oxl0O feet was kept up
nearly all night, but was interrupted
somewhat near morning when crowd
of firemen dashed in at the front en-
trance with the LIE Sueur hose cart and
ran around and around the hall with it
while the dancers sought safety on the
seats.
The baseball game in the afternoon
resulted in the defeat of Kilkenny by
Belle Paine by 8 to 2. An old man
by the name of George Mcconnell made
heroic stop of his spirited team that
was running away with the buggy in
which his wife was riding. He caught
the lines and was thrown down and
dragged 800 feet, but held on pluckily
and stopped the horses.
At the meeting yesterday resolution
to meet hereafter in towns only Of
5000 population or more was voted
down with only the three votes of the
resolution committee in its favor. A
| Frank, w. Lyons of Little Falls, and
w. C.. Mitchell of Albert Lea were re
elected delegates to the national con
vention.

YOUNG BR DE DIES.
Mrs. Robert Griebei Falls a Victim to
Consumption.


Mrs. Robert Griebel, formerly Miss Ger
trude Franksen, died at one o'clock this
morning at the home of her mother, Mrs
Olson, on North Fourth street of con-
sumption, after lingering illness, eX-
tending back more than two years. Her
case is rather a pathetic one. When her
health began to fail two years ago she
was united in marriage with MIR. Grie-
bel, and they went to Portland, Oregon
at once, in the hope that the change OF
air would benefit her. After residing
there for year, and as she continued
to fail, they moved to Denver, Col.
where they have since resided. Real
izing that there was no hope, Mrs. Grie-
bel returned to her former home in this
city five weeks ago, and has gradually
failed. Yesterday afternoon she took d
turn for the worse, and her death speed
lily followed. Her husband was telegraph
ed for, and will arrive today or tomor
row. He holds a position as bookkeep
or at Denver. One brother survives
her.
The deceased was reared to woman
hood in Mankato, and was about TWEEN
ty-four years of age. She possessed .
sweet and lovable disposition, and hac
~.
numerous friends, who will sincerely re
greet her taking off in the very honey
moon of life.
Mrs. Griebel was a member of the De
gree of Honor lodge No. 70, and car
ried 81 900 life insurance. The lodge vii
doubtless attend the funeral in body
The funeral will occur Monday after
noon, at 2 o'clock from the house.

STATESMEN SEE AlRsHIP.
One Of Those Ozone Navigators Flies
Over Washjnoton,

Washington, June l5.-An airship un-
der complete control flying over Wash
ington was the spectacle witnessed here
yesterday.
Thousands turned out to see the move
sight and cheered the navigator as he
skilfully directed the craft. The shil
STARTED from point three miles from
Washington on the Virginia side and
waa steered directly for the Washing
ton monument. A slight mishap to the
machinery caused the navigator to de
scend, the ship being safely landed close
to the monument.
In half hour the ship again was il
flight and the navigator after twice
circling the monument at distance OF
400 feet steered for the White House. He
landed about fifty yards from the soutl
portico Mrs. Roosevelt was at the win
daw when the descent was made and eX
hibited great interest in the strange
looking structure.
After remaining in the grounds d
short time the navigator made another
ascent carrying his ship over the three
newspaper offices and then took q
straight course down Pennsylvania ave
nue. to the capitol where it was receiv
ed by thousands of people, senators ant
representatives and employees of the cap
itol building.
The quorum in both houses disappear.
ed and all manifested great interest in
the machine. The navigator passed ovel
the capitol south of the great dome and
then circled around and around over the
building finally bringing his ship to the
earth in front of the middle steps Of
the capitol.
The large crowd cheered as he descend
ed showing absolute control of the ma
chine. After remaining about quartet
of an hour at the capitol the navigator
again set sail and passing over the
building north of the dome started back
to Virginia.

From Thursdays Daily.

iOiIl DdIlS.
j. ID. Davidson of Cream writes in The
GAINESVILLE Argus of the mankato nor
NAL school:
"The Mankato normal school com
mencement exercises occurred Weincs-
day evening, June 9th, when eighty
eight students were graduated, eighty
five of whom were young ladies OF
peaches" as his cXcellency. Governor
johnson, slyly minated. How many
boys started in with this class the de-
ponent saith not but certain it is that
only three survived the terrible ordeal
and no wonder. The MankatO normal
has degenerated or advanced, whichever
term suits the reader best until it. is
practically a young ladies' seminary.
Now in all probability large majority
of these young ladies will marry as
soon as they can earn enough money at
their professions to purchase and equip
suitable homes for their Husbands to
live in They insure liz intelligent and
educated American mothers. If there
is an institution of learning that is
turning out educated fathers as rapidly
as the normal is turning out educat ed
mothers all is well, but is there? And
if so. where? If not there will develop
condition of affairs that is very UNI
desirable. Governor johnson delivered
an able address to the graduating class
He is very pleasant speaker and i'm
mensely popular with the girls. III Tor
renee of the state normal board followed
the governor in addressing the gradu-
ates and then presented the diplomas
The Mankato normal school is very
popular, especially among the farming
and laborin9 classes. 1t is democratic
institution in every sense of the word
where the child of the laborin9 man if
he can earn enough to pay his board will
receive lust as much consideration here
as the child of the wealthy banker who
rides in his automobile, and a girl with
"a normal diploma does not have to look
for a situation. 1t comes to her.

To Discourage Wolf Farming.
From FRIDAYS Daily.

From friday Daily.
With the view to discoura9ing wolf
farming if it is being carried on in WI
mona county, the county board has re-
duced the bounty paid for. cub wolves
and has increased the bounty paid fol
old wolves. Instead of adding 81 to the
81 allowed for cubs 50. On the other
hand the board has decided to add S2.ot
to the $3.50 allowed by the state fol
old wolves, making a total of So 1t Is
thought that with ten dollars paid foi
old wolves greater effort will be made
to kill these pests, and of course in this
way stop the breeding.

Improvements, considering the financial
J condition of the district. There wa:
water in the building and the schoo
could get along all right. If any of the
improvement was made he would favor
making the whole of it. He was oppos.
ed to any halfway measures, and tc
buying more STOKES.
Judge Comstock said that lie thought
himself, that there was good deal of
logic in what Mr.. Currier had said
Mr.. Coughlan said that he would like
to dispose of the matter at this time
He was opposed to doing the work
peacemeal, but would do it all at once
He would prefer to wait and make q
complete job of it, if the district has no
money. at seems as though we never
have any money when we get to this
improvement" said Mr. Coughlan
laughingly.
Judge Comstock's motion was voted
down unanimously, and he then moved
that the plans be accepted and placed
on file, and that the matter be laid Oh
the table until the first meeting in Jan.

cliff had found 420 seats ard thirty set
tees needing repairs, and he had only

him, in return for help by Mr.. Fenske
in reslating the blackboards, etc.
Mr.. Fletcher reported that Janitol

on all of the seats in the Franklin

the assistance of Mr.. Fenske, and to
have Ole Nelson fix the roof on the I'm

Mr. Currier said that Architect Pass
had suggested that galvanized iron
shingles be used on the Pleasant Grove
building. Wooden shingles are not made
as good as they used to be. Mr.. Pass
said that the cost would be from $75
to 5000 greater, according to the kind
of wooden shingles it was proposed to
use, but that the galvanized iron shin !
giles ought to last for fifty years with
no repairs.
On motion of Mr.. Fletcher it was vot- |
