of the sexes. In Germany the boys

Investigation showed that lower
pane of one of the windows had
been broken in and a big handful
of greasy waste, such as is found
in the railway yards had been
ignited and thrown into the building

quickly communicated with the bales

The fire was discovered at about
eleven O'Clock last night, and is laid
by President Hixon of the Mankato
Mills company to hoboes, numbers of
whom can be seen every day from
his office window going along the
tracks and down to the river bank.
Mr.. HiXon reported the matter to
Chief Donahue, but there is no clue
pointing to anyone in particular.
Had the fire been started in the
next window east, it might have
made bad fire, as that window is
between the sprinkler heads.
The Free Press has it's doubts if
hoboes made the attempt to fire the
buildings. The methods are some
what similar to those which were
used at the. time an effort was made
to burn the mailing plant several
months ago. 1t is quite evident that

Mrs. James MalOney passed away
at her home in Decoria township
at ten o'clock yesterday forenoon,
after a comparatively short illness,
although she had not been in very
good health for a couple of years,
having failed gradually. She was
not obliged to take to her bed until
Friday, and after that she failed
quite rapidly. She was afflicted
with an ailment of her heart, it is
thought.

The st Paul Pioneer Press con-
tains this story which will interest
many Mankatonians, as Mr.. F. NJ.
Rule is well-known in this city:
Visiting his sister, Mrs. F. NJ.
Rule, 296 Bates avenue, is Captain
John Alexander Smith, one of the
first men to enlist in the Civil war
and probably the youngest captain
to lead his men in battle during
that struggle. Captain Smith enlist
ed when he was sixteen, was a first
lieutenant at seventeen and after
the battle of Corinth was made
captain of Company f of the Sew
enth Illinois volunteer infantry, at
the age of eighteen.
Having enlisted so young, Captain
Smith is, as he expresses it mo old
gray-headed coffee cooler yet" and
although he has retired from active
business, takes a great interest in
the affairs of the day and especially
those of military nature.
Captain Smith enlisted in the Sew
enth Illinois April 16, 1861, just two
days after Captain Josias A. King
of ST. Paul, the first volunteer OF the
war, had signed his name to the en-
listment papers. He was immediate
ly elected corporal and was in few
DAYS made first sergeant Of his COM
pany. He held this position until
the end of the three months enlist
ment, when he was made first lieu
tenant, being promoted to captain,
when George H. Estabrook was made
major.
Starting in at the Beginning OF
the war, Captain Smith served
through the grand review until
at the end. His regiment fought
at Forts Henry and Donaldson, at
Shiloh and marched with Sherman
to the sea.
In the battle Of Altoona Pass,
which the captain describes as the
bloodiest little struggle of the war,
he led company of fifty men into
the engagement and of the fifty, six
teen were killed, twenty-one wound
ed and four taken prisoners OF war,
so per cent of his little company
disabled in one engagement. All OF
the officers in this battle of a higher
rank than Captain Smith were either
killed or wounded and he came
through without a scratch. The hilt
of his sword, which was hanging at
his side, while he used a rifle he had
picked up, was carried away by a
bullet.
1t was in this battle that Captain
Smith met the Fourth Minnesota
commanded by Colonel Tourtellotte
The Fourth Minnesota and Seventh
Illinois acted together in several en-
gagements during the war.
Captain Smith was a close per-
sonal friend of Robert G.. Ingersoll
and Governor Yates of Illinois and
has wonderful supply of stories in
connection with these and other ia
nous men of that period, having en-
tertained them at his hotel in Jack
sonville before he retired from bust
ness

won the hearts of the little girls liv

Anton Joering of Berlin, Germany,
spent the Fourth in New Ulm, in
company with the Martin Walser
family, of Mankato, says The Journal.
Mr. Joering represents the Globe In
ternational office, which is an inter
national information bureau, which
has for it's object the promotion ~
commercial and industrial relations
in all parts of the world. He came
to America several months ago 10
study various phases of social, com
merical and industrial conditions IN
the United States. Mr.. Joering says
that the Germans were always tax
ing notes of conditions in all parts OF
the world. His line of work has
caused him to visit boards of trade,
public schools, colleges, manufactur-
ing enterprises, mercantile establish
ments, and he has also closely stud
led the agricultural resources of this
country. He was particularly impress
sed with the beautiful city OF New
Ulm and it's typical German atmos-
phere and commented freely on its
picturesque location.
Mr.. Joering is an interesting talker
and is a keen observer. He was
free to admit that the soil in Minne-
sofa could produce considerably more
by proper rotation Of various crops
and that cereals and other products
not now raised could be planted and
marketed to good advantage. He
believed that the agriculture could
