GROCER AND BUTCHER
PICNIC GREAT SUCCESS


From Thursdays Daily.
Six hundred people is the. estimat
ed attendance at the grocers' and
butchers picnic. at Lake Madison
yesterday This attendance has
seldom been eclipsed by any picnic
of its kind and was considered a
most successful one. The. special
and regular trains carried the people
out and back in large numbers, while
many automobiles were also called
into service.
Previous to the picnic, the grocers
and butchers of Mankato worked
hard to have, every detail attended
to, and to make the most of every.
thing. They desired picnic that
should be one not soon to be for
gotten, one that would be enjoyed
by all, grocers and butchers and
customers, who attended. And their
labors were rewarded AS a rule
the grocers and butchers have pic
mics that are largely attended and
the one of yesterday was an excep-
tionally well attended affair.
Band Music BY Harmonica.
The Harmonica band furnished the
music during the day and gave an
excellent concert. George NJ. Palmer
spoke on Good Roads and Better
Business" in which he outlined how
the good roads affect the business in
the cities and villages. His address
was well received and given the
utmost attention.
A bountiful picnic dinner was
served, coffee and cream being
generously furnished free of charge
by the Commercial club of Madison
Lake. In the afternoon, Judge Lorin
Cray spoke After the judges ad-
dress, the north end and south end
clerks snapped bats in a hard con-
tested ball game. The north end
finally won out, however, with a
score of 4 to 2. That it was not a
walkaway, is shown by the fact that
no scores were made until the last
of the sixth inning. The batteries for
the winners were Zeigler and Stein
er and for the south end, Foelschow
and Phillips. y...,..
The Sport Events.
Probably one of the most interest
ing affairs of the entire picnic was
the races and contests. H. B. Meyer
of North Mankato won the sack OF
Ardee -four, for having the largest
family on the ground. His family
numbered seven. Miss Dora Rhode
won the cracker eating contest and
Mrs. F. Hunt the bean guessing con-
test. Miss Foelschow won the youns
ladies' race, and Mrs. Lusk the
married ladies' race.
r, The trains brought the picnicers
back late at night. In the. evening
the Loyola orchestra drove to Madi-
son Lake in an automobile and
played for the dance. They returned
early this morning. -.. -

CONDITION is NO WORSE

Seattle, August 16-Miss Luella
Davis, the st. Paul nurse who was
injured in the same auto accident in
which DR.. E. M. Rininger was killed
at Riverton crossing three weeks
ago, is in a critical condition in
Minor hospital. Miss Davis has been
semi-conscious since the accident. AT
first it was believed her only injury
consisted of fractured right leg.
Now it appears she has a hemorrhage
of the BRAIN
Mr.. and Mrs. L. l.. Davis, the par
ents of Miss Davis, have received
no such discouraging news as is con-
tanned in the above telegram which
was published in The st. Paul Pho
neer Press this morning. Mrs. Davis
stated today that the last letter re-
ceived from the bedside of their
daughter was written on Friday of
last week and was received yester-
day. 1t contained favorable news.
The injured girl had recognized her
sister, who went to her bedside from
st. Paul, conversed with her about
the accident and appeared to be
doing nicely. Had change for the
worse occurred the parents here
would certainly have been notified by
telegram. The best specialists OBJ
tainable in the west have made an
examination of Miss Davis and are
satisfied that she will recover and
that she will not have to submit to
an operation. ,
