The young men representing Madelia
high school were taken into camp Sat-
urday afternoon and when the celebra-
ton was over the score stood 80 to 0
in favor of the locals.
As anticipated some trouble was ex-
perienced in interpreting the new rules
and as result there were some ted
ious delays. Both teams, however,
showed excellent spirit accepting the
rulings of the officials. The Madelia
boys showed lack of training and this
told on them toward the end of the
game. Mankato put in almost the en-
tire list of substitutes and in the last
one fourth had no trouble in making
long gains. At times some splendid
football was seen but speed and snap
was lacking most of the time How
ever, as first game it was well played
and will lend to show the places when
the team needs bolstering.
Madelia gave us the same good, clean
contest that she has in the past.
The line up was as follows: X. E., p.
Ford; 1T, Brazier; re-, Weiderman; G,

George NJ Palmer has secured a
promise from Louis Hill. president
of the Great Northern road, to add
dress the farmers at the good roads
ball to be held in couple of weeks.
He was to hear definitely this aft
ernOon whether James Gray, democratic
candidate for governor. would be pres
ent and give an address. He had
failed in his efforts to secure an ad-
dress from Gov. Eberhart, as the lat.
ter's time is ali taken.
Mr.. King, inventor of the King road
drag, has signified his willingness to
come. This will cost the committee
about SO, but it is though by it to
be money well expended, as his repu-
tation is expected to help draw a
crowd.
The date for the ball and meeting
will be fixed as soon as Mr.. Gray
is heard from.

X. Alexander and his surveying crew
are still working on the Glenwood
avenue road and further east, and it is
thought that they will not leave Man
kato until next week. Once they get
route for the proposed interurban
line located out of the city they can
progress faster, as the country will
be comparatively level for some miles
il they take the direct Eagle Lake
road.
The st. Paul dispatch says: Off
Gals expect to have Il complete Local
ton for the road inside within sixty
days.
"A meeting of the incorporators will
be held early next week, when officers
will be selected and work started in
organization of the operation COM
pany.
II. c. Struchen, who is expected to
be the secretary of the new company
and w. L. Sontag, general manager
are both experienced electric railroad
men, and probably will be in charge
of the building operations. Enough
stock has been sold to warrant the be-
ginnin. OF active work. Both officials
asserted this morning that cars will
be runnings by the last of next year.
''rhe line will run from Mankato east
through Blue Earth county to Waseca
county, then swing north through Rice
and Dakota into st. Paul. The termf-
nus for freight and express will be on
the west side at first, but it is hoped
later to get a freight depot on this
side. Traffic arrangements will be
made with the Twin City Rapid Tran
sit company for handling passengers.

The parties who have a license to
seine at Madison Lake went to work
at nine o'clock this morning, with u
larger seine than they had last year.
They began their operations today at
Grass island. The bay in and from
there is full of carp and big buffalo
as the mud bottom is an ideal place
for them to feed. The island itself
is good bass grounds, with a
Several parties from Mankato went
out to witness the drawing of the
seine. The seining operations will be
pushed until next spring, and it is to
be hoped that by that time the uil-
desirable fish will have been removed
This will have no permanent effect
however, as the millions of little carr
and sheephead get through the seine
and will be big fish in u year or two
1t is evident that the lakes will never
be what they were before they were
invaded by the carp.

Fire, which was discovered at eleven
O'Clock last night, practically destroyed
the home of Mrs. Kouri at l63 James
avenue. The fire originated from the
kitchen chimney, and is thought to
have been due to a defective tlue. A
still alarm was sent to the central
station, and the firemen responded
quickly and laid 1850 feet of hose
and turned on stream of water. The
house was well ablaze by that time
the flames having spread to the attic
but the tremen soon had the fire sub
dued.
The house was q small one, and
the kitchen part was burned away and
the rest of the house damaged so much
that it is not thought that it can be
rebuilt. Mrs. Kouri carried $500 of in
surance on her honse and household

When seen this afternoon by Free
Press reporer, Mrs. Keene, who is
the wife of Jesse l.. Keene, of NicOl-
let, stated that she had not been in
formed of her fathers death, but that
it was not unexpected as he had been
helpless invalid for four years past,
confined to his bed. He had sus-
tanned stroke of paralysis and was
unable to talk although he could UNI
derstand what people said. He was a
fine old gentleman and Mrs. Keene
visited him last year.
1t is q strange coincidence that
Mrs. keene's father and Mr.. Keene's
mother died the same day. after a
period of invalidism of about the same
time, and about the same age. Mr.
Currier had been a great sufferer, and
death came as q blessed relief.
