When a man shouts his virtues

Three deaths within his family in
less than year, wife and two sons
General Bobleter is of certainty
having more than his share of grief
and sorrow. The last to pass away
was his eldest son, Edward J Boble-
ter, who died during the night of We'd
nesday, the 18th, after an illness, of
more than two years duration, which
started at first with slight cold and
gradually developed into consumption.
Edward Bobleter was born in New
Ulm on the 7th of November, thirty
four years ago. For a number of
years he lived in ST. Paul, but on be-
ing mustered out of the Twelfth Min
nesota in which he had served as bat
TALON adjutant, he remained in New
Ulm until he was appointed military
storekeeper under Gov. Lind. This
position be held for little more than
year, during which time he was mar
ried, a marriage from which one child
resulted, a little boy who is now eight
years old. In 1904 Mr.. Bobleter was
elected city clerk by surprising ma
jority, but only served in that capa-
city little over six months. Follow
ing that he worked with dltching
crew until, about two years, he was
compelled to abandon labor entirely
ON account of his health. He was al
ways a generous-hearted and loyal
friend, a good fellow and popular
companion. Especially in the militia,
to which he was devotedly attached
for twenty years, was he popular, as
few others were, and many are the
boys who will be panied to learn of
his death. His funeral was held with
military honors Saturday morning,
Company A and the Second Regiment
band accompanying the funeral cor.
to tege their comrades grave.

Il cotton Fire U'ednesduy After-
noom--AbOmt so Bates Dane
dged.

nOOn--AbOM so Bates DANE
dged.
Fire was discovered in the cot
ton warehouse al the Lancaster
Cotton Mills Wednesday after
noon, hut owing TO the automa-
tic sprinklers with which the
building is equipped and to the
efficiency of the mills fire de-
partment, the flames were quick
ly extinguished. About fifty
bales were damaged, the loss be.
ing covered by insurance.
AS the warehouse had not
been opened In sixty days, it is
thought that the fire probably
originated from a rat igniting
a match. There are 1856 bales
of cotton in the department
where the fire broke out.
The Lancaster Mills, by the
way, have all modern conven.
fences for fighting fire. In ad-
ton to every department being
equipped with automatic sprink
lers, there is well-drilled fire
company-one of the best in the
State. AT moments notice,
steady stream of 1850 gallons
OF water a minute can be thrown
upon fire.
