That Death loves a shining mark
has again been terribly verified in our
midst; and Friedrich L. McGhee has
fallen victim to his unerring aim.
1t does not matter though death be
expected, his coming is always fol.
lowed by a shock to the loving ones
of the household into which he comes
and to the friends of his victim.
No death that has occurred in St.
Paul in quarter of century has been
more sadly and generally deplored
than that of Friedrich l.. McGhee,
which occurred at 7:4O p. M, Thurs
day, Sept. 10, at his residence, 665
w. University avenue
About a month ago, while chasing
some turkeys on his farm in Wiscon-
sin, Mr.. McGhee broke one of the liga-
ments in his right leg, and he had
quite a serious time getting about,
having to use cane and then
crutches. He finally had to take to
his bed owing to some other trouble
but septic pneumonia set in and
though he made a manly fight, and
everything possible was done for him
by his physician, DR.. Waldo Turner,
who also called to his assistance Doc.
tors Herbert Davis, A. Schwyzer and
j. M. A. Gravelle, he was compelled
succumb to the inevitable.
Mr.. McGhee was born in Aberdeen,
Miss, in October, 1861, and was con.
seuuently 81 years of age.
After the civil war his parents,
Abraham and Sarah McGhee, moved
to Knoxville, Tenn.
He attended the schools there and
later Knoxville College. lie early
took an interest in the upbuilding of
his people and was always prominent
among them and secret society cir.
cles, and in 1880 was a delegate to the
National Council of Good Samaritans
at Chicago, and he liked the city SO
we'll that he went there 20 i've the
same year. There he at once took
an active part in the civic and social
affairs and for four years was presi
dent of the famous Autumn Club.
In 1882 he began to study law and
after three years was admitted tc
practice. In 1885 he formed a CO
partnership with Mr.. E. H. Morris
the foremost lawyer of Chicago
June II, 1889, he came to St.. Paul

Tuesday last was election day. but
it was so quiet one hardly noticed it. OF
course those who also ran, did. Strange
to say, although there were a lot OF
complications in the election laws un-
der which the first statewide primary
election was held, there was not a
complaint made to the police of an
infringement of the law. Usually DO
licemen are much in evidence on cleo

The grand ball and cake walk that
was given by the Band Boys at South

was a grand success. The hall was
filled with a swell crowd and every
body had a swell time. The success
achieved was due in no small meas
ure to the indefatigable energy and
labor of Mr.. c. C. Minor, the musical
director, while of course the others
did their share. 1t is safe to say that
any time hereafter that the Band
Boys announce an entertainment the
public will respond.

HARVEST FESTIVAL
And Field Dsv-Liberal Prizes for
Dispiays-To Begin Oct 2-Bar-
gain Day in Connection.

The Improvement Asso citation at its
meeting this week endorsed the plan
for harvest festival aud field day and
the opening date was set for Oct. I'd.
The Association voted $500 to be
divided into two or three prizes for the
best general display of farm products,
and named committee to solicit funds
to permit of the awarding of prizes on
various binds of farm produce. corn,
beans, sugar beets, potatoes, apples,
pumpkins, cabbage, etc. Secretary
Seegmiller has been actively at work
during the week and Is of the opinion
that the funds needed will be secured.
At the suggestion of d. NJ Christian
merchants will be asked to give the
use Of one show window in their
stores for the displays SO that the ex-
pepse will be reduced to a minimum
This will also afford fine place to dis
play the products and will give every
one splendid opportunity during the
day and evening to view the same. It
IS also expected that ball games, horse
races and possibly other sports will be
provided. The plans will be worked
ont within few days so that definite
announcement Of the program can be
made. It is contemplated that the
merchants will give bargain day sale
in connection with the festival.

FINE OFFICE AND EXCHANGE
BUILDING.
Contract for Union Telephone Co. s
New Home let-Built this Fall.

New Home let-BuIlt this Fall.
| A contract was closed Wednesda,
| afternoon with II. F. Banhagel O
Lansing, for the construction of al
ONCE and exchange building for the
Union Telephone Co. on its lot at the
corner OF Exchange and Water
streets, and work will be commenced
on the same within a few days. The
growth OF the company's business
throughout the territory it covers
the fact that the local exchange had
reached its limit and has been COM
PEELED for months to refuse new con-
tracts except on party lines, togeth-
er with the need for a new and up
to-date switchboard requiring more
floor space than was available in the
rooms now occupied, and the further
TACT that Owosso is really the busi-
ness center of the Union Company,
were the points which induced the
officers of the Company to make the
heavy investment demanded for the
building and equipment.
The building will have a frontage
of566 feet on Exchange street and a
depth OF 60 feet on Water street, set
ting back from the Exchange street
line few feet. In the basement
space will be provided for work shop
store. boiler and coal rooms, and a
vault. The main entrance is from
Exchange street through wide doors
opening into lobby, which has a
telephone booth on one side and
seats on the other. This small lob
by, which opens into a larger one,
can be closed at night on the inside,
giving the public access to the tele-
phone booth without permitting en-
trance to the main lobby.
At one side of the main lobby are
two telephone booths for long dis
tance service. At the sides of the
lobby are the Offices of the general
manager and the local manager, the
former 12X18 feet, the latter 12x12.
Other rooms on the first floor are:
secretary's and directors room, 16x
23 it., superintendent 11x19 it.,
general Office, 29x45 it., locker room
etc.
An entrance for the employees is
provided from the Water street side,
opening into a large hall with stair,
way going to the second story and to
thei basement. The second floor is
given over entirely to The operating
force, the main switchboard room
being on the west side of the build
ing, with the long distance board at
the north. Ample provision is made
for the comfort of the employees in
the two good sized rest rooms pro-
vided. Other rooms on this floor are
utilized for lockers, batteries, work
shop, terminals, etc. Three skylights
besides plenty of windows will furn-
ish excellent light for the several
rooms.
The building will be modern in ev-
cry respect and when completed will
care for the business Of the company
for many years to come, beside be-
ing a credit to the company and an
ornament to the city. The contract
calls for the completion OF the build
ing within four months and the con-
tractor is confident of his ability to
finish it on time. The new $4,000
switchboard, ordered some months
ago, is awaiting shipment and will
be installed as soon as the building
is ready for it. The building COM
mittee consists of z. o. Dewey, j. II.
Fildew and c. w. Gale.
