EMPLOYEES AT A FEAST
ELECTRIC RAILWAY MEN ENJOY
A FINE BANQUET.
Manager Henry Hance Entertains;
Gives Them All an Opportunity to
Get Together.

Employees of the Mankato Electric
Traction company ceased their labors
last night from $3.50 to eleven o'clock.
Street cars on all the lines were stop
ped during this time to allow the
twenty-five men who occupy the front
and rear end of the city street cars an
opportunity to partake Of a banquet
given in their honor by General Man
ager Henry +. liance at Heinze's res
taurant.
The employees on duty pulled their
cars in front of Heinze's restaurant at
$3.50 and those not on duty were
brought up in car from the com.
pany's barn. Here the ears remained
until the close OF the banquet at eleven
O'Clock.
The evening was pleasantly spent in
feasting and in a social way, and was
the first time that all employees and
manager have ever been together at
one time. The supper was served on
one long table in the beautiful ice
cream parlor at lleinze's. The room
decorations were pretty and the tables
were laden with good things, prettily
and neatly arranged. The menu con-
sisted Of:
Turkey, with Cranberry Sauce.
Dill Pickles. Celery.
Mashed Potatoes.
Turnips.
Ice Cream and Cake.
Candy. Shelled Nuts.
Coffee.
Cigars
Al the conclusion OF the lunch. Man.
ager Hance gave an informal talk on
the "boys" in which he expressed pleas
ure at being able to see them all to-
gethcr and was glad of the opportunity,
on behalf of the company, and himself
to enjoy an hour with them, and hoped
that the occasion would be the means
of promoting further good feeling
among them. Mr.. Hance referred to
the building of an interurban line from
Mankato to st. Peter, and said that
John j. Cummings OF Chicago. n man
who had financed many similar enter
prises, was willing to put up sixty per
cent of the cost of such an enterprise
if 40 per cent could be provided for
by the cities OF Mankato and st. Peter.
He hoped that the Commercial clubs
of these places would get together and
have survey made, and take action
looking toward the successful termna.
ton OF plan whereby the two cities
would be connected up by trolley. Such
line would probably be the first in
terurban out of the city, and would be
well patronized.
After the banquet all went to Bis
senbach's photograph gallery where a
group picture was taken.
The employees were delighted with
their evenings entertainment.
