CURLING CLUBS OFFICERS
They Were Elected Lost Night, Thve.
Days 8onspIei Booked.

from FRIDAY p IJd1lJ-
The CALIFORNIAN Curling club held
it's annual meeting at the Commercial
club rooms last evening, and chose the
following officers for the ensuing year:
Thomas Thompson, president; Theodore
Just, vice president; George B. Owen,
secretary and treasurer. A business
committee composed of I. w. Hart,
DR.. X. NJ. Dodds and George B. Owsn
was appointed.
The ice is now in good shape, and
the rink was flooded today. and the
club expects to take up it's curling
work in other week. 1t is planning an
other year to buy lot somewhere,
probably in West Mankato. near the
street car line, and move its rink
building there. In such location it
would be much easier to food the rink.
1t is planned to hold a three days
bonspiel the present winter to be larger
and better than any in the past. From
the amount of enthusiasm shown last.
evening, the future of the club seems
brighter than ever before.

her DEATH WAS SUDDEN
MRS. HUNTER DOLL SUFFERED
ATTACK or INDIGESTION.
Permission Asked Of War Depart :
ment to Bury Remains Beside Those
of Former Husband.

Washington, ID. c., Dec. l5.-No final
arrangements have yet been made for
the funeral of Mrs. Hunter Doll, for
mer wife of Senator Davis, pending
the arrival of her sister from Mnnea-
polls, tomorrow. 1t is quite probable
that last rites will take place at Mrs.
Dolls country home, known as "Beall
Knoll" mile and half from River
dale, Md.
About four years ago Mr. and Mrs.
Doll went there to reside and two
years ago purchased the estate, which
is of old southern style. 1t was for
merly owned by General Truxton Beall.
Mrs. r. A. Bennett, wife of Mrs.
Dolls physician, said this morning that
on Saturday afternoon as late as three
o'clock Mrs. Doll was in the best of
health and remarked that she never
felt better in her life. 1t was at din
ner, about $50 in the evening, that
she was stricken and died within an
hour
A few years ago Mrs. Doll sold her
Washington property on S street. Her
country home was filled with choice
works of art, and the library of the
late Senator Davis, including his col
lection of Napoleonic works and pic
lures, has always been kept intact.
For the past year Mrs. Doll had been
engaged in preparing data and memo
randa concerning Senator Davis pub
lie career. The original manuscripts of
his famous address, "The Feudal Sys-
tem," his lecture on Shakespeare and
his speeches in executive sessions of
the senate on the Hay Pauncefote,
treaty are all preserved at the River
dale home
Senator Davis tomb is at Arlington,
where a fine monument was erected to
his memory by Mrs. Davis in 1903, a
few months prior to her marriage to
Mr.. Doll.
The war department has been asked
for permission to allow Mrs. Doll to
be buried beside the grave of her for
mer husband in Arlington, but doubts
it's authority, owing to the fact that
as the widow of Senator Davis she
remarked.

new STYLE OF LAWN MOWER
Mankato Man Wants to Manufs cture
Them in New Uim.
From MONDAYS Daily.


At the regular monthly meeting of
the New Ulm Commercial club last
week " r. Cunning of Oshawa. once
resident of NIankato, who has a
patent on a lawn mower, appeared and
made a proposition that if he could
sell thirty shares of stock at $50
apiece. amounting to $500. he would
be willing to rent some building and
commence the, manufacture of new
style of lawn mower. He claimed
that he had no money himself, but
had $3.50 invested in the patent. Asked
how many men he intended to en-
ploy, he stated that it would require
about eight to ten men to advantage.
ouslv assemble the various parts
which would be made in foundry. He
said that these men could turn out
$50 lawn mowers in day, or in
year of 800 working days, the output
would be $4,000 lawn mowers. This
proposition looked so good that it
staggered the members of the club
and for several minutes they sat in
silence, when it was finally decided
that the matter be referred back to
the industrial committee for further
investigation

ceived ga letter from George w. Cooley,
engineer of the state highway commits
sion, asking that the league send
three delegates to the sessions of the
good roads, drainage and river i'm
provement convention in St. Paul to-
day and tomorrow.
The league decided to send Presi-
dent Diers, representative Ole Peter
son of Nicollet county, and Frank
Dowdle of Savage.
Thanks were extended by the lea
que to the mayor and Commercial club
of st. Peter and especially to the
newspapers of the valley and to Lieu
tenant Governor Eberhart.
Treasurer c., H. Casey of Jordan
said that there was less than $50 in
the treasury aside from the days re-
ceipts, and suggested that if any
schemes were to be presented for rails
ing funds this was the time to do it.
President Diers explained that an
assessment of three cents an acre on
overfowed land had been levied, which
would raise 81 800 and the towns had
been asked to raise an equal amount.
Mayor Dick suggested that each city
council be asked for donation and
President Diers said that he would
attend to this.
At Belle PLANE Next Time.
Attorney Irwin extended an invita-
ton to the league to hold its next
meeting at Belle Plaine, upon behalf
of the council and citizens. He thought
that the meeting should be adjourned
subject to the call of the president, and
that no meeting would be necessary
before the middle of February or the
first of March, OF until such time as
it is known what the legislature does.
A motion to accept the invitation
was carried
Z. B. Miller moved that Governor
Johnson be asked to mention the i'm
prOvement of the river in his message,
and that a committee of three be APP
pointed to present the matter to him.
Mayor Dick thought that the COVER
nor had enough other matters to men
ton without bothering him about this,
and no action was taken on the mo-
ton.
Attorney Benson invited the dele
gates to the Commercial club rooms
and with this the meeting adjourned.

ENCOUNTERED A BEAVER DAM
Piece Of Work That May Have Existed
Hundered Yesrs.
From FRIDAYS Dali.


The contractor who is digging the
county drainage ditch near Madison
lake has encountered an old beaver
dam under the earth. It is four feet
under the soil and extends for thirty
rods, and is located on the farms
of Rabert Madigan and Philip Kane,
not far from Lake Ballentyne, and
is supposed to have at one time
separated an. arm of the lake. The
trees were nicely cut of, the tooth
marks plainly showing in the hard
wood. County Surveyor Brooks visi-
ted the ditch Yesterday and brought
back a number of pieces of wood that
had to be chopped out of the ditch.
The timber is well preserved, although
it may have been there for hundreds
of years.

Company Organized in 1900.


The Standard Brewing company was
organized in 1900, by number of
gentlemen who had planned to build
an electric street railway. Plans for
this enterprise did not mature and it
was decided to engage in the manu-
facture of beer and bottled goods,
soft drinks, etc. The finest of machin-
cry for the brewing of beer was pur-
chased and installed and the company
started in business under the most
favorable conditions. S. Wilhartz was
made manager of the concern and he
remained in that capacity for a mum
Der of months.
About two years ago the brewery
became the property of Chicago par
ties-Smart & Borders, who were in
charge for little over a year.
On Nov 20, 1907, in order to pro-
tect the Stephen Lamm estate, the
brewery was taken over by John Fl.
Hohmann, Otto Lamm and Robert
Lamm. A reorganization of the COM
pdHA was eHecteu. anu IHe 1OllOWlllS
officers were elected: President, John
II. Hohmann; vice president, Otto
Lamm; treasurer. Robert Lamm; Sc
cretary E. j. Hennig.
These gentlemen gave the business
Conscientious and painstaking atten-
.tion and no doubt they could have sue
ceeded in building up profitable
trade had conditions been more favor
able. 1t is matter of regret that an
enterprise which gave employment to
force of men such as the Standard
Brewing company has, should cease
operation. The plant is one of the
finest in the northwest and the gen
tlemen who make up the company
are among the most substantial of
Mankato's progressive business ele-
ment.
May Continue Soft Drink Plant.
Mr.. Hohmann was i'm receipt of in
tquiries today regarding the soft goods
department, which is organized under
the name of the Standard Bottling
Works. Parties have expressed de-
sire to purchase the soft drinks plant
and continue its operation. This would
give employment to about dozen
persons.
