RAPID PROGRESS BEING MADE
ONNE w ASSOCIATION BUILDING.

During the time the new building
for the, Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton has been in course of erectioH.
the work of that organization has
been to great degree suspended. This
was unavoidable, by reason OF the fact
that the Association had no quarters
in which to carry on its activities. rho
directors and officers of the association
have. during this time, given their at
tention entirely to- the construction of
the new building and providing the
funds necessary therefor.
There has been, however, a band OF
T.Ien in the Association whose activities
would not be suspended, and to whom
difficulties were simply things to be-
overcome In March, 1905, these men
united in the desire to see the city of
Montgomery receive an impetus along
the line of spiritual activity which
should not only be commensurate with,
but greater than has been the develop
nient OF its material growth.
To this end they have been meeting
daily for prayer and consultation. and
thus has grown a meeting that is uni
que in the history of religious effoct
in Montgomery. Several different
places of gathering have been used
during the last year, but as soon as
the roof was on the new building, the
services began there. This first use of
this puIiulnS' emphasizes tne rear puF-
pose of the Young Mems Christian As
ISOLATION.
The General Secretary's office has
been moved from the Commercial Club
rooms to Nhe new building, and here
this company OF men meet every day
at 6:30 o'clock for a half an hour OF
devotion to their high purpose.
The building would now be COM
pletely enclosed II the contractor
lad been able to get the window sash
as hadN been promised. 1t is expected
that this material viii forthcoming

AUTUMNAL CATARRH.
Diseases Prevalent Now. HyOmei VIII
Cure Il Quickly.

great many people suffer more
with catarrh during the fall months
than at any other season of the year,
as changes in the weather seem to have
bad effect upon the disease.
At the first warning of catarrh. one
should begin the use OF Hyomei. A
few days treatment will often prevent
a serious attack of this distressing
and annoying diseas.
There is no stomach dosing with
Hyomei. 1t cures catarrh by the sim
pie and natural method OF breathing
medicated air into the nose. throat and
lungs, in this way killing the germs OF
catarrhal poison, healing and soothing
the irritated mucous membrane and
entering the blood with the oxygen.
thus driving all catarrh germs from
the system.
If you have any of the ordinary ca
tarrh SYMPTOMS. such as offensive
breath, burning pains in the throat
coughing, raising of mucous, difficulty
to breathe. sneezing, hushiness, dis
charge from the nose droppings In
the throat. coughing spasms, etc, be-
gin the use OF Hyomei at once.
A complete Hyomei OUTFIT costs bat

Ter gives his personal guarantee with
every package, that money will be

CLEARED NEAT SUM.
High School Athletics Financed Ely
Supper and Entertainment.

FROM , Ddly.
Something like $50 was realized for
the High School Athletic association
from the supper given by it last even
ing with the assistance of the young
lady students of the school, and from
the entertainment given later at the
school. The supper was served in a
vacant store room on South Front
street, and over 200 were served within
an hour and half with as much dis
patch as occurs in the average restaur-
ant or hotel dining room. The young la
dies took full charge of the kitchen, and
ten young men served the tables, and ev-
,erything passed off like clockwork. The
eatables had been either donated or fur
nished by the students, so the expense
was not great, and an excellent meal
was served. The receipts of the supper
were $50.
The program of athletics and music at
the high school was witnessed by a
large audience, filling the school room
full. The program went off very nicely,
and everybody was well pleased.
The Athletic association was out of
debt, although it had no funds, and the
receipts of last evening will be sulfi-
cient to carry it through the approach
inc season 1t will enter the annual
field meet of the Southern Minnesota
High School Field and Track associa-
ton, to be held the latter part of May.
1t is expected that the new fair grounds
will be enclosed by that time, so that
an admission fee can be charged to pay
the expenses of that meet

TIMES AT ST. PETER
Old Town is Woke Up Over the Pend
Ing Election.

81. Peter, March 23.-With the city
elect ion less than two weeks away, the
municipal campaign is growing decided
ly interesting. 1t is lid" fight, pure
and simple. Advocates of strict enforce
ment of the state laws have perfect
ed an organization, which they have
styled the Citizens league, and which
their opponents have facetiously chris
tened the "Peruna party" TIE more
liberal element is represented by the
Washington Hall club.
Practically all of the interest centers
in the mayorality contest between III.
Sporting and W. II. Rounseville. The
latter is the candidate of the league and
his platform declares for tight lid, but
Mr.. Sporting is more conservative III his
views, and, it is understood, would per-
NIT the saloons more latitude. Although
he has promised to inaugurate several
reforms, he is not radical and will
have the support of many conservative
business men.
Rev. Peter Carey, rector of the Eng
fish Catholic church, and president of
the league, has succeeded in securing
Rev. Father Cleary of Minneapolis to
address the voters and the latter will
fire the first heavy gun of the campaign
next Monday evening. Father Cleary is
to speak at the opera house here. His
subject will be: Law Enforcement.
Officers of the league are also making
an effort to have Mayor Jones of Min
neapolis speak in this city the night be
fore election.
Thus far the candidates who have
filed are Herman Sporting and w. H.
Housewife for mayor; Chas. ii. Clark
for treasurer; A. Danielson and a.
Bornemann for alderman of the first
ward; Il. p. Hedberg and Peter Bolstad
for alderman of the second ward.

rrom Fridays Daily.
North Mankato is to have a new
store, the North AIankato Drug COM
pany having been organized and taken
lease of j. p. Schweitzer's building
on Belgrade avenue, formerly occupied
by Louis Dammann's meat market. The
building has been neatly finished off on
the inside, papered and painted. Hand

front
The drug store will be opened Mon
day, April End, and will be in charge of
a registered pharmacist, who with his
family will reside on the second floor of
the building. Prescriptions can be had
day or night, and the soda fountain
will prove an attraction for Mankato
people strolling across the. bridge, as
well as for the residents of the vii
lage. 1t is understood that the new
company has the backing of the A. G.
Lack Drug company, which will en-
sure it's being first class in every re-
spcct.
Three cellars are being dug for as
many houses on the north side, two to

Was Horribly MangIed and Evidences
Of Row In a Saloon.
HAD TROUBLE WITH ONE PAYLoN.
Investigation May Bring to Light
Something; Joints in Full Bloom
in the Town.

Faribault, March 23.-Is Faribault
and Rice county to have another sensa-
tional murder case on its hands for the
next term of court? The finding of the
body of Patrick Shea, farm laborer,
on the tracks few blocks east of the
Dundas depot early Sunday morn
ing, and the story of saloon brawl in
which he had been engaged, the night
before, makes it look as though this
was the case. The body was found by
the conductor of train number 6l22
which passel through Dundas village
during the night. After the finding Of
the mans body, which was terribly man.
gled, coroner's inquest was held and
it was decided that the man had come
to his death from some unknown cause.
1t was at first believed that he was
killed by the train but now the theory
is advanced that he was fatally hurt
in the saloon brawl and that in some
way his body was placed on the tracks.
1t seems that the night before saloon
fight took place in one of the joints in
Dundas. At that time Shea was drink
ing in the place and engaged in a heat
ed conversation with a man by the
name of Paylon. The result of the con-
versation was that the two men became
engaged in quarrel and Paylon, walk
ed over to Shea, knocked him down and
beat him terribly. He was finally pull
ed off and shotly afterwards Shea
started for his home in half dazed
condition. The next morning his mutt
lated body was found.
The condition of the ground near
where the body was found indicates
that there might have been struggle.
An investigation will follow and ar
rests may be made.

GRADING TO COMMENCE.
Work on Alphabet" Road ls to 6e
Pushed Rapidly.
From ThurSday'S Dailv

From thursdays Daily.
E. L. Tobie, who designates himself
as the general agent of the alpha
bet" railroad, went to Chicago last
week, returning Monday, to consult with
officers of the company and complete ar
rangements for beginning work on the
line and getting it in order for track
laying between Albert Lea and Cream
as soon as the conditions of the ground
will permit. The line will be built into
Albert Lea and it is expected that ar
rangements will be made for a joint
use of the Union depot. Mr.. Tobie
decisively says that the road will be
extended as expeditiously as possible
to Mankato and st. Cloud and ultimate
ly to Duluth. Balch & Co. of Minneap-
oils will have the contract for grading
from this city to Mankato and likely
beyond AS heretofore they will sublet
much of the work.
In this connection it is stated on
what seems to be good authority, that
it is the purpose of the Illinois Central
railroad company to soon extend their
line from Chenille into Albert Lea
and thus have the benefit of an inde-
pendent track and connections to this
point.-Albert Lea Standard.

STRUCK THE FIRST BLOW.
Attorney Thompson Of Amboy Was the
Aggressor, II Seems.

From Fridays Daily.
The jury acquitted Albert Jordan in
the Thompson VS.. Jordan assault case.
The trial was before Judge Quinn in
the district court held at Blue Earth
A. HI. Hall, of Minneapolis, and B. G..
Reynolds of this city were Jordan's at
torneys. The case went to the jury
Monday and they were out but short
time before returning their verdict of
''Not guilty" 1t will be remembered
that Thompson, who is an Amboy law
yer, came to this city one day last Au-
gust and went to Jordan's blacksmith
shop. Thompson had been engaged in a
law suit with Jordan as attorney for
the other side in family matter, and
there was not the very best of feeling
between the two men. The long and
short of it was that Thompson came
out of the shop terribly beaten up. At
the trial the evidence Showed that
Thompson had struck the first blow, and
that being the case the jury returned
the above verdict. County Attorney
Smith, of Jackson county, was the
states attorney.-W innebago Enter
