GIRL BURNED TO DEATH
Was In Cellar, Lighted Match; Expl0-
sion Followed; She Died in
Great Agony.

Marshall, Mimi, June Palma
Olson, the siXteen-year-old daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Lawrence Olson, was
burned to death in peculiar man
ner. She was sent to the cellar for
vegetables for dinner. The cellar
being dark she took a match with
which to light her way. AS soon as
she lighted the match there was an
explosion that shook the house and
in an instant later the girl came
running from the cellar, her clothes
on fire. She ran to the front lawn
and. sank to the ground. Parents
and neighbors smothered the flames
and did all they could for her re-
lief but she died at p. m. The ex-
plosion Is thought to have been due
to gas formation which may have
originated from cesspool into
which the cellar is drained. :

Last Evening.

from mOHudyS LAZY.
Wilbur H. Clements, accompanied
by Leo Landkamer and AL Pieuske,
returned last night from Chicago in
the Hudson car in which j. H. Ray
mond made his flying trip to Chi
cago There was some difficulty in
getting the. car in Chicago but the
Mannheim Insurance company, whose
Mankato agent is Henry Leonard,
extended every possible courtesy to
the Mankato men and helped to
make it possible for them to get the
car without more delay.
The homeward trip was started on
Thursday and it was devoid of un-
pleasant accidents or experiences of
any kind. In leaving Chicago Mr..
Clements had sign put on his car
with the words Chicago to Man
kato. .Minn."-vTheys1 stopped at a.
little village near Chicago to inquire
about the road and the man who
talked to them noticed the sign. He
said that Oscar Schmidt of Mankato
was relative of his, and was much
interested in the trip.
Encountered Some Sand.
The first night was spent at Lake
Geneva, and on Friday the party
drove through Wisconsin spending
that night at Reedsburg, Wis.
Through Wisconsin, Friday after
noon and Saturday morning a good
deal of sand was found and it made
the travelling more tedious. Satur-
day night was spent at Winona, and
the party reached Mankato last
night about six o'clock In coming
into town they were greeted with
shouts from the crowds who were
on the streets. and came in as fresh
as though 1T had been a sixty mile
trim instead of a thousand mile one.
The car made the trip in splendid
shape and the only trouble expert
enced was little tire trouble. Mr..
Clements told of queer thing
which happened on the evening of
the first day. They encountered a
very severe electric storm, the light
ming was binding and made running
the car very difficult. AS they were
going on there was very bright
flash and they noticed a cloud of
white smoke coming up from the
ground where the lightning had
struck, and not more than twenty
five feet from the car. The roads
were in fine condition pretty much
all the way. All told the car travel
ed about a thousand miles without
anything more serious than small
puncture to one of the tires.

Oscar Olson was worried man
last evening. His son, Harry, to-

Hugh, floated down the Minnesota
river in canoe to st. Peter yester-
day. Harry Olson had given his
father the impression that he was
going to Minneopa, and when he did
not return last night, Mr.. Olson as
we'll as other members of the FAM

the police to search for the boys.
Night Sergeant Scoville thought per-

telephoned to the railway agent
there. The agent replied that the
boys were at the depot waiting to
return on the 12:45 midnight train.

Sermon BY Rev. Hobbs.

Sermon BY Rev. Hobbs.
Mr. Murphy did not speak at the
street meeting last night, but
splendid discourse was preached by
Rev. r. w. Hobbs. Gods Love-"
was his topic. Mr.. Hobbs has a
wonderful voice for outdoor speak
ing and the audience listened intent
ly during his talk. The passing of
many automobiles and street cars
did not disturb the listeners, they
simply crowded a little closer to the
walk and continued to listen intenly.
The meeting was kept moving,
there were no pauses in which the
attention of the large audience
might be lost, but from the time
the service on the street commenced
until they went into the building,
some one was speaking or a song
was being sung every minute of the
time.
Meeting in the Hall.
At the close of the outdoor meet
ing the crowd was invited to come
inside for a meeting there, at which
Rev. Murphy was to talk, and no
second invitation was necessary.
The hall was soon crowded. Rev.
Murphy is a powerful man with a
powerful voice and a powerful per-
sonality He strikes from the Shout
der and his talks are not meant to
make people pleased with them
selves, but to show them the folly of
their ways.
Such a meeting as that of last
night and of the evenings of the
past week is not common, and at
tention such as is given to the men
who speak at the meetings is surely
not common. The usual crowd of
scoffers who make themselves obnox-
ious at meetings of the kind are not
there, and nothing seems to be able
to break in upon the attention of
the people who come there to hear
what message Rev. Murphy and his
assistants are there to pass on

Big Meeting Was Held On South
Front Last Night.
SERMON BY REV. R. w. HOBBS
Inspiring EvangeIistic Services That
Are Conducted BY Rev. c. M.
Murphy, Chicago.
From Mondays Daily.

Several hundred people stood in
the street last night and sang
praises to God, and listened to an
inspiring sermon on Goods Love"
eloquently preached by Rev. r. w.
Hobbs, pastor of the Baptist church.
The meeting was conducted under
the auspices of Rev. c. M. Murphy
of Chicago, an evangelist, who is
holding a series of gospel meetings
here, and nightly is reaching out to
a large number of people who are
being led to better ways by the
power of Jesus name and the mag
netism of the speaker. Last night
the meeting was not commenced I'M
til nine o'clock, at the close of the
regular church services. Ordinarily
it is not easy to get a crowd of
people together for a religious serv-
ice at that hour of the evening,
either inside of building or on the
street, but the sidewalk in front of
the hall adjoining the First National
bank was packed some time before
the service commenced.
Not Mere Curiosity Seekers.
The crowd was not merely a group
of curiosity seekers, but was very
largely made UP of those who be-
came interested in the services and
the sermon. The singing was re-
markable. A little street organ was
used and the old hymns that every
one learns in Sunday school when
they are children were sung, and
the voices swept out over the large
crowd The people who were in
charge of the meeting did not sing
alone, but the crowd seemed to be
carried away by the spirit of the
songs and everyone joined in the
refrain. Many man who probably
had not been in church for years
was heard to sing those old songs
which probably had many pleasant
memories for him and he was not
ashamed to be there. The audience
was made up of all classes of citi
