Overcharge of assessments in
sprinkling the city streets formed
the chief discussion at the meeting
of the city council this morning. Ed
gutenberg had the floor for some
time, arguing with the commission.
ers about the unfair assessments of
various pieces of property in the
city. 1t was believed that where
sprinkling was done the most often,
the assessments were comparatively
the cheapest and as example took
the sprinkling on Fifth and Front
streets. The former street was
sprinkled three times a day, cover
ing three widths, while the Front
street was sprinkled often and yet
the assessments were lower.
Last year." he said, Fifth
street was sprinkled sixty-eight
times at cost of $24O. Twelve
dollars was the assessment on three
lots and this you know is unreason-
able. The assessment for the entire
block was forty dollars" He also
wanted to know whether or not the
public buildings would be assessed
this year. "The court house, the nor
NAL school, high school, hospitals,
and so on have never been assessed,
and ] see no reason why they should
not be so, as well as the other
buildings" he said.
Assess Against Public Buildings.
At first it was argued that it
was impossible to make collections
of taxes on the public buildings.
However, after the matter had been
discussed pros and cons for some
time, some of the commissioners
decided that it was a good plan to
assess the public buildings also, in
fact, could see no reason why this
should not be done.
"These public buildings get just

Mrs. Edna FELTON, was arrested at
Mapleton late yesterday afternoon
on charge of stealing currency
and silver amounting to about $3.50
from Samuel L. Blaisdell of Medo
township. She was brought to Man
kato today and given a preliminary
hearing before Judge Comstock.
Mr. Blaisdell is a widower with
two children, his wife having died
less than year ago. Since that sad
event his household affairs have
been looked after by a housekeeper,
who recently resigned. Mr.. Blais-
dell visited an employment agency in
St. Paul last week and engaged Mrs.
FELTON, to take charge of his home.
She came to the farm last week.
Woman Disappeared Suddenly.
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Blaisdell
drove the retiring housekeeper to
Pemberton where she was to take
a train for distant point. Return
ing home he found Mrs. FELTON, per-
forming the household duties He
went to the barn to take care of
his team and was absent from the
house but few minutes. On step
ping into the house he was much sur
prised to learn that his newly acguir-
ed housekeeper was not in evidence
She had disappeared suddenly and in

sundry egg cases in, was burned be-
yond repair.
The building was comparatively
empty, as Nh. Hoerr was unable to
obtain good ice, and rather than
use the so-called fish ice" he pre-
ferred to handle the produce in car
load lots, buying from the out-of-
town firms and then shipping east.
May Have Been of Incendiary Origin.
When asked for his opinion as to
the origin of the blaze, Mr.. Hoerr
said: 81 believe it was started by
some one. / don't see how other
wise it could have started There
were no lights in the building, as
the Gambling is done by daylight,
and / went home at four o'clock in
the afternoon while the boy left at
six. Some say the fire started in
the main building, and others say
it started in the Gambling room, but
think the opinion of those best
qualified to say, believe that it start
ed in the main building in the ele-
vator shaft"
Mr.. Hoerr is undecided as to
whether or not he will rebuild. At
one time he thought the building
might be repaired, but later he
found that this was impossible. The
main building was lined with wood
throughout, there being dead air
space, all of wood, and a cold air
space, also of wood, so that the
flames spread quickly when once
started. There are three entrances
to the building, but the firemen were
unable to head off the flames from
either door, and the refrigerator,
the most valuable portion of the
building, was destroyed.
Search for Kittens.
This morning Mr.. Hoerr took up
quite bit of his time in the search
for a number of kittens which he
thought had been burned. He car
ried the mother cat in his arms and
searched for the young, but decided
that they were cremated, and offer
ed the mother cat to some neigh
bors. Later, however, it was report
ed that the kittens were under some
of the debis.
With the destruction of this build
ing passes one of the land marks
of MankatO. 1t was erected in the
late sixties when it was used by ia
cob Bierbauer as a WOODEN mill.
Later Christian Ross owned the con-
trolling interest and was president
and manager. Previously to this,
part of the mill had been used for
the manufacture of breakfast food
from barley. A little later Mr.. Ross
bought up all the stock of the COM
pany and became sole owner. How
ever, the wooden industry did not
prove as successful as it was ex-
pected, and in the early nineties
Clements & Hoerr bought the build
ing and installed a refrigerator for
the purpose of establishing cold
storage and produce company.
But they did not get control Of
the building without a murmur. An
other WOODEN firm had long had eyes
Oh the place and now sought to buy
t. After some controversy Glenn
ents & Hoerr won out and the
building was changed to a storage
plant.
When it was first built it was
only two story structure but was
later remodeled and another story
added. Finally Ferd Hoerr bought
out Mr. Clements and at the time of
he fire was the sole owner

the debt cleared it will mean that
there will be clear sailing for sue
cessful fairs in the future.
The large loaf of rye bread which
took first premium at the fair was
baked at the Schirrschmidt bakery.
The loaf was seven feet long.
Product of Small Piece of Ground.
One of the prize winners at the
Mankato fair, Mrs. Henry Guenther,
has demonstrated what can be done
with small piece of land properly
cultivated. The family occupies an
acre of land on the outskirts of the
city. From the half acre devoted to
garden, Mrs. Guenther raised a
squash that took first prize (she
has since discovered specimen
nearly twice as large), a second
prize pumpkin, first prize on cucum-
Der pickles, second prize on grapes,
and had number of other very
good vegetable exhibits. On the
other half acre, Mrs Guenther took
a first and second prize for apples,
on trees she set out about eight
years ago, besides raising enough
blooded chickens to keep the fam
lily in eggs and buy all the feed
necessary for two COWS. But then

AT THE FAIR.

MankatO closed the most success
full fair ever held here on Saturday
evening, after three days devoted to
sports of various kinds and the ex
hibiting of various things of gen
eral interest. The attendance each
day was record breaker. The
weather on Friday and Saturday
left nothing to be desired and the
crowds began to come early in the
day.
On each of the three days the
exhibition hall was filled with peo-
pie looking at the displays, and the
grounds were damned with human
ity.
The ball games perhaps drew more
attention than any other one at
traction, and the grand stand and
bleachers were filled all three days
for the games and races.
The Motorcycle Race.
Five machines entered the motor
cycde race on Saturday. This is
the first time race of this kind
has taken place on the Mankato
track and it caused a great deal of
interest There were two Indian
motorcycles, one Excelsior, one
Wagner and a Hurley Davidson.
The race was distance of three
miles and was won by Ludwig Zim-
on an Indian. The time
IN
utes, thirty-nine seconds. The Excel
sior came in second, and the other
Indian took third place. The race
was really between the Excelsior
and the second Indian, as they were
very close all of the time. The other
two machines were simply outclass-
ed. Mr.. Zimmerman showed plainly
that he had perfect control of his
machine.
Those who participated in the mo-
race are as follows, anu
came under the wire in the order
named: H. Zimmerman on an In
dian, E. Skoog on an Excelsior, r.
Earle on an Indian, Christensen on
a Wagner, and H. Earle on a
Harley Davidson. All of the men ex-
cept Christensen were from Man.
kato, and he was from st. Clair.
The winning machine passed the
Harley Davidson in the third lap
and passed the Wagner in the fifth
lap.
Music was furnished Saturday by
the Harmonic band. They were
very generous with their music and
played number of excellent selec !
tons. In the evening the band gave
a concert on Front street which |
drew large crowd and it was
greatly enjoyed.
Just before the ball game the win
ners of the stock prizes paraded be-
lore the grand stand. Mrs. Frank
w. Davis led the parade with her
beautiful driving horse, which took
The prize for the best lady's driver.
Object Of Favorable Comment.
The fair as whole was the OBJ
ect of much favorable comment,
he crowds, exhibits and amusements
being above the hopes of even the
'air management. This is the first
year since the fair association was
that conditions were IA
-orable, and the people showed their
loyalty to the fair in their splendid
