INTO THE new QUARTERS
Ladies' Bethany Seminary Instruction
Now Being Carried On in Build
ing On the Hill.

The Bethany Lutheran Ladies'
seminary have moved their head
quarters from the Richards block in
to their own building on the hill. Al
though the building is far from COM
plete, the class work is being car
ried on regularly and the young
ladies are occupying the dormitories.
At the present time there are sixty
four students, representing seven
states. Four of that number are
Mankato girls. There are ten teach
erS.
The kitchen and dining room have
been finished and are now occupied
and the third floor is practically COM
pleted, but the first floor is in state
of upheaval as yet. The floors are
only partly laid and the woodwork
is not yet put in. The second floor
is in much the same state, and the
workmen stated yesterday that it
would be the first of January before
the building would be completed.
The heating plant has not yet been
put in and will not be for about five
weeks. In the meanwhile the rooms
are being heated with oil heaters,
and there is a large coal stove in
the dining room.

ARM TORN IN SHREDDER
George Anderson ofnFairmont, MINI.
Met With FrightfuI Accident
Saturday.

Fairmont, October 16.-George An
derman of this city met with a
frightful accident while engaged in
running threshing machine on the
farm of r. B. Leet of Fairmont
township, Saturday, which cost him
his left arm.
In company with his father, Henry
Alderman, George has been running
their threshing rig as usual this fall
While at work on the Leet farm the
elevator of the machine clogged
which ran the small belt of the ele
vator off the pulley. George caught
the belt in his left hand with the in
tention of putting it back on, but
the other end of the belt was
caught by a larger belt and carried
around the larger pulley.
1t was done in the twinkling of an
eye, and though George quickly let
loose of the smaller belt, it was
wound around his fingers and yank
ed his hand and arm around the pull
ley of the larger belt. The quick
jerk was SO violent and the twist SO
short that the unfortunate mans arm
was taken off completely within
tree inches of the body.
George showed remarkable grit
and physical endurance and walking
to buggy without assistance, got
in and was driven to the Leet home
where he got out and walked into
the house unassisted. The average
man would at least have tainted.
DR.. Johnson was phoned to and
was OlIick1y IN the ground and
dressed the wound. Mr.. Alderman
will be compelled to remain at the
Leet home for several days.

USED FOR FIRST Time
Typewriter Is Put Into Operation al
BaImoraI to Write the Kings
Letters.
Especial to The Free Press

London, October 16-For the first
time in the history of England the
typewriter is being used for the king
private correspondence at Balmoral
His majesty dictates many of the
letters himself, because he likes them
to have personal touch. Queen
Mary, however, has her letters to her
friends sent out in the handwriting
of her private secretary or writes
them herself, for Queen Mary con
siders that disrespect is shown to
friends by those who act as though
they did not care to give the time
needed to communicate with them in
their own hand. Queen Mary's hand
writing, by the way, is both beauti
full and legible.
