ideal place for such an event. Din
ner was served on two long tables,
which were also prettily decorated.
The commissioners and their families
sat at one end of the tables and the
members of the Commercial club at
the other Two immense cakes were
on the table, one with the words
County Commissioners" and the
other with Commercial Club" in
chocolate upon them. The dinner
was a bounteous one and nothing
was lacking. During the afternoon
ice cream was served.
Statement Made BY Mr.. johnson.
Charles G. Johnson spoke during
the afternoon of his connection with
the construction of the bridge and
thanked the commissioners and the
Commercial club for the interest they
showed in it. He said that the bridge
was probably the best BRIDE in the
county. Mr. Johnson probably de-
voted more time and work toward
having the Red Jacket bridge built
than any other one person, and much
credit is due to him.
Senator T. M. Pugh, who is spend
ing several weeks on his farm at
Minneopa, stated to The Free Press
today that he forded the river at the
place now spanned by the Red Jacket
bridge fifty-siX years ago.

prises a lot and half, and is very
nice property. Mr.. Pay will take
possession as soon as F. d. Sleight,
the tenant, can find another location.
With one or two days of fair
weather threshing has commenced
and several lots of new wheat were
offered to local buyers yesterday.
Most of the wheat was damp and
some was i'm such bad order that
BUYERS refused to take it in. 1t is not
in condition to put in bins and unless
spread on floors where it can be
shoveled over and dried out. it will
spoil.
Severe damage has been done to
unstacked grain, but it only makes
bad matter worse to thresh it be-
fore thoroughly dry. Much of the
wheat in stack is in the sweat and
damp from the heavy rains.
Great care must be used to see
that the grain is thoroughly dry or
serious losses will be suffered.

evening. Almost 800 people gather
ed to see the contest, which proved
to be one of the most interesting games
of the season. 1t was evident from
the way the teams played, that all
of the men were on edge and err
rors were frequent and costly. Both
teams had their delegation of root
ers and it was impossible most of
the time to hear the umpire.
Besides being interesting, the
game was one of the cleanest ever
played on this diamond Not play

umpires were accepted with good
grace by all of the men and the
large crowd was well pleased
Short Talk BY Mr.. Nyquist.
Before the game began, Mr.. John
Nyquist, president of the league,
made a short talk to the players and
those present, urging a clean game
and calling attention to the value
of the park and the league to the
young men of the city. The season
has been a successful one but is
only a starter for what next year
may be.
The Umpires, doc" Morrow and
Jay Nicholson, deserve mention for
their good work They tried hard
to be fair to both and there was
little question raised about any
close decisions.
This Is the Score.

surance of $500 on the building and
200 on the contents. The barn, a
two story structure with high base
ment, was valued at $1,000.
A barn owned by Vance Mape on
destroyed Stored in this building
was a quantity of coal and some
household goods belonging to Marshal
Hartung. The loss is put at $500.
Sparks set fire to the roof of the
house of Postmaster Patrick Lyon
on the opposite side of the street
and man employed in the construc-
ton of the village water tank ran
right up the side of the house and
put the fire out His remarkable
feat of reaching the roof without the
aid of a ladder was witnessed by
large number OF people.
House Was Scorched.
The home of James Mapes was
Scorche1 and his windmill caught fire
several times, but willing hands
squelched the flames.
The origin of the fire has not been
definitely determined. 1t was sup
posed to have started in the loft, and
Mr.. Mapes is of the opinion that
it was the work of incendiaries
Others are inclined to the belief that
it started from the heat of the new
mown hay.
AS the water works system in
Madison Lake is not completed and
will not be for couple of weeks,
it was necessary to fight the fire
by using the old methods, but in this
all the citizens Joined willingly.

that he already had plans for an
athletic carnival and a boys exhibit
ton to be held during the winter,
but the plan which could be worked
out Immediately was that of having
oRoney's Boys, a concert company,
come here and give their concert in
October. He suggested that a matt
nee be given in the afternoon and
the regular concert in the evening;
each baseball team gave a pledge to
sell certain number of tickets,
and to promote the affair as much
utes was given to discuss the prop
osition, and the various teams got to-
gether and from the enthusiasm
shown and the interest taken the
concert will be a certain success.
When asked for their opinions 1T
the close of the recess everyone who
spoke was very much in favor of
the plan and they decided to have
the company here October 20, unless
the opera house had been booked
for that night. A committee was ap-
pointed to make the arrangements
required at present.
Word From the President.
Near the close of the discussion
John Nyquist, president of the
league, was introduced and the boys
demanded talk from him. Mr.. Ny
quist spoke of the great work that
the Y. Nj. C.. A. was doing for the
boys OF Mankato and how willing the
business men of the city are to do
all possible to further any plans
suggested by that organization for
the young men. The Twilight league
was an organization which was doing
a splendid thing for the town and
the young men and he was very
much in favor of it being made
permanent. Mr.. Nyquist's talk was the
last one of the evening, but the
young men were so much interested
in the plans that they talked them
over very thoroughly before leaving.
1t is seldom that such an enthusia-
siastic meeting can be held, and the
feeling of friendliness and good fell
lowship be so prevalent as last night.
Mr.. Allison and Mr.. Deerhake are
deserving of much credit for this OPP
portunity of pleasure for the young
men,

structure built for the county by the
Marsh Engineering company of Des
Moines was formally dedicated un-
der the most suspicious circumstanc

From Mondays Daily.
Madison Lake fought fierce fire
early Sunday morning that at one
time threatened to spread over a
large portion of the village, but
luckily the citizens were able to
cope with the flames and subdue
them before great deal of property
was destroyed. Had south wind
been blowing the fire would certainly
have extended to at least two blocks
of wooden store buildings and their
destruction would have been COM
plete.
Rescued the Horses.
About three o'clock Sunday morn
ing fire was discovered in the large
barn owned by James Mape, who
some time ago purchased the Will
liam Duran place. Efforts were at
once directed toward rescuing six
head of horses that were in the
burning building. In this Mr.. Mapes
was successful, but large quantity
of other valuable property was de-
strOyed. This included the large seine
owned by Williams Bros. of Lacrosse,
and valued at $1,000, besides stoves
and household furniture that was
stored in the barn. large amount
of farm machinery, the property of
Mr.. Mapes, was destroyed. The barn
loft was stored with new mown hay
and other grain, all of which was
eaten up by the flames.
A chicken house was burned also
and with it about 200 hens and young
chickens.
Suffers Heavy Loss.
Mr.. Mapes suffers loss of some
thing like $4,000. He carried an in
