Known in Mankato,
John r. Norton, Who Passed Away
in Mapleton Yesterday.

From Fridays Daily.
BY the death of John r. Norton
the village of Mapleton has lost one
of its most substantial and enter
prising business men, He was one
and was one of it's important fac
tors.
Mr.. Norton came to Mapleton in
1874, about the time that the rail
way was built from Mankato to
Wells, coming there from Wiscon-
sin. Starting business there in a
small way he continued to increase
his business from year to year and
SO fair and honorable were his deal
ings that whatever competition was
established soon passed away. The
line companies with all their wealth
and power were unable to take the
business away from him and one
after another gave up the task. The
last to enter the field was Gmeinder
& Lampert, who developed a good
business but like their predecessors
sold out to Mr.. Norton and left the
field.
John K. Norton was born in
County Limerick, Ireland, on March
10, 1S40 coming to this country
when a young man, locating in Wis
consin, and later coming to Mime
sofa. He was twice married, his
first wife being Miss Aanastatia
Hogan, who died in 1881, leaving
one son. Three years later he mar
ried Miss Mary Hogan, sister of
his first wife. To this union were
born four daughters, namely. Anas-
tatia, Marie, Margaret and Honora,
all of whom survive, except Miss
Marie, who passed away two years
ago
For number of years he served
as a member of the board of educa-
ton and for time was president
of that body He served as presi-
dent of the Mapleton State bank
and for several years director in
the First National bank Since his
recent illness, however, he relin-
quished all business matters, turn
ing everything possible over to his
son.

HE RESIGNS AS HEAD OF THE
POLICE DEPARTMENT.
Field Left Clear For New Admins
tration to Make Appointment;
Petition In Circulation.

Chief of Police Pond this morn
ing handed in his resignation to
Mayor Meyer. to take effect next
Tuesday morning. This will clear
the way for the appointment of a
new man to the place without a
hitch
Eli Klughertz is circulating a pc
titiOn, asking Mayor-elect Taylor to
appoint him chief of police. The
other candidates have also redou-
bled their efforts. Friends of John
w. Donahue are pushing his name.
1t is believed in well informed
circles that no change will be made
in the office of city treasurer, at
least for the present
w. E. Edwards says he is not
making an effort to be appointed
chief of police.
Applicants in Plenty for Police De-
partment; Mayor Besieged.
twenty-five men have already APP
piled to Mayor Charles T. Taylor
for appointments on the police force.
There are four applicants for the
position of chief of police.
1t is quite likely that the mayor
and councilmen will hold an informal
meeting for the purpose of discuss
ing appointments and other matters
that are likely to come up for con
sideratiOn in the near future.
e. nj. Call stated today that the re-
port that he was asked by Chief
Pond to resign from the police force
is incorrect. He says. he received
a letter from Mayor Meyer stating
that his services would be no longer
required, and that up to this time
he has been unable to learn why he
was relieved from duty Mr.. Call
states that he is not an applicant
for a position on the police force
Ole Andengaard has decided that
he will not seek position as police
officer.

GEORGE NETTLETON AND r. E
REYNOLDS MADE CONVERTS.
Has Great Success as Preacher; His
Daughter, Miss Neva, Given Great
Praise for Singing.

Wells Forum The revival meet
ings that were in progress for some
thing like two weeks at the Metho-
dist Episcopal church closed last
Saturday evening by rousing final
meeting.
These meetings were unique III
two respects at least First, the
speakers were two business men
who gave up their business for two
weeks and devoted the time eXClu-
sively to telling the people of Wells
that simple old, old story that is
contained in the book of books, and
second, that to the gospel drag net
there was no addition attached for
a two thousand dollar contribution,
as is usually the case with the up
to-date evangelist.
Two meetings were held daily, an
evening service and a Bible study
in the afternoon. These meetings
grew in interest until in the clos
tended. Professor George Nettle-
ton of Mankato and F. E. Reynolds
of Minneapolis took turns in speak
ing and always made strong plea
for religion that will go with man
as he approaches the cold dark
stream where the transition from
the finite to the infinite is made.
They pointed out NE uselesSnesS
of a religion that consisted only in
having ones name on the church
directory and in heart they were
sinners and condemned in the sight
of God. They also emphasized the
point that religion is business
mans job" and not for women and
children alone Their strong com
mon sense arguments found ready
response, and twenty-five or thirty
came forward and declared their in
tention to live true, Christian lives.
and many others resolved to make
their lives conform to Gods re
quirements.
Last Sunday there were three
meetings, the regular morning ser
vice and a mems meeting in the af
ternoon which was exceptionally
we'll attended, there being probably
more men at this meeting than have
been in church for a long time. The
closing meeting Sunday evening
was also well attended and gave
many evidences of a real spiritual
awakening, which assured the two
devoted workers that their work
had not been in vain.
Miss Neva Nettleton, daughter of
Professor Nettleton, was also here
the entire two weeks and at
the meetings Miss NettIeton has
a most charming, sweet voice
and she readily sang herself
into the hearts of the people. At the
service Sunday evening she was ten
dered token that assured her of
the high esteem and appreciation of
the people of Wells.
That our worthy pastor, Rev.
Lee, worked hard for the success
of these meetings and that he con
tributed a large portion toward
their success everyone is well
aware and he is deserving of due
credit
