FOUR Way DEPOT CLOCK

1t is said that the railroad c,,nl-

that the records had to be consulted

when the question of requiring the
Canadian Northern to have four

end of Chestnut: street was taken
up a week ago. There is story
connected with the agreement t.
place a clock on the building which
those who were members of the
council in 1910 are recalling. FRS,
the depot WAS to be located Just
north of the end of Ch-stnut street,
not fair in Ii re with>the center ct
the street. The company then con.
cinded it wanted the depot across
the head of the street. Mayor
greatly pref rreL TO not have the
view across the lake cut off and
only consented t, the site that is
being uaed wien the company's
representative agreed to the clock
feature of the hniIdirg. The city
had tried to Z, a clock on the
court house and on the Technlcal
High School bu, wa- not success

place for it and the concession was
made. The plans the contractors
have for the new de. .ot do not

FTOTn w cuHCSudy Sdhys
All was fair weather when the
lawyers got together for their an
nual banquet at the Elks club in
Mankato last night. They had all
been engaged rather strenuously all
day with the important business
meeting and splendid addresses, but
last night they enjoyed a frolic.
Cases at bar were forgotten. The
banquet started in the midst of the
thunderstorm about seven O'Clock,
and the legal gentlemen seemed to
take the cue from the weather and
let their enjoyment be as untram-
meled as the elements themselves.
While the thunder ragged and shook
the building and the city, and the
fire department clattered down the
street, while the lightning played
threateningly about the windows and
the rain poured down necessarily,
the lawyers were making merry in
total forgetfulness of the dignity of
the court or of legal affairs in gen.
eral. They were assembled for good
IlllS, anu llOy SCI dDOuI HI SdlhCoL
to have it. The program was open
ed by Attorney Robert E. Geehan
of st. Paul, who is also a very &C.
complished baritone, who led the
"boys" in that old and beloved song,
"Cheer, Cheer, the Gangs All Here, :"
and there were no dashes inserted
for the reason why nobody cared
| Following this the bunch" consult
ed the official song book of the Min
nesota State Bar association, and
selected such numbers as they saw
| fit. Before the evening was over,
all the songs had been sung at
least once and also several solos
| by Mr. Geehan. The lawyers who
| had heretofore shown marked ability
in vocal accomplishments were gath
cred about the small tables in the
corner next the piano, and led by
the able and we'll trained voice of
Mr.. Geehan, they made the big hall
ring with the embarrassed harmony
of the free from care and light
hearted.
Fun Was Unrestrained.
They gave yells as well, and one
by one, they called on most of the
merry crew to stand up. After the
person named had arisen, blushing
with embarrassment, and the cheers
had subsidized, the next command
was, Take off your coat" and the
victim was assailed with this cry
from all sides until he complied
with the request of the majority.
Some of the sober and unbending
law dispensers were forced to stand
up on their chairs. AS soon as the
/ requirements of the evening had
been complied with, the crowd sang,
For He's a Jolly Good Fellow" and
sometimes a parody which fit like

honored individuals amusement.

ARTHUR P. MOLFN DEAD
He Passed Away at Local Hospital
Yesterday; Death Due to Gen.
eraI Breakdown

Arthur P. Molen, a former Man.
kato man, passed away at a local
hospital here yesterday after long
illness. His death was due to a
general breakdown, and probably
primarily to a disease of the heart.
He was born in Mankato thirty-six
years ago, and lived here until
about ten years ago, when he went
south, and has spent the past ten
years in several of the southern
states. For the past five years he
has been very successful in the con-
fectionery business at Houston,
Texas. He came to Mankato about
a month ago for medical treatment.
He was single man. He is survived
by two brothers, Vernon P. Molen
and Edward A. Molen of Mankato.
His parents died several years ago.
The remains will be shipped to
Sioux City tonight and buried there
tomorrow under the auspices of the
Church of Christ Scientist

CREAM CAN EXPLODED
Hot Weather and Churning Caused
Something to Bust Acted
Like Gun

During the past week or two of ex-
cessive hot weather the danger from
exploding cream cans has been more
real than imaginary The covers to
the cans fit on very tight and the
excessive heat, together with the
process of souring, causes gas to
form almost as strong as giant pow
der, says the Fairmont Sentinel. Last
Friday a can of cream on the wagon
of a carrier which had been jolted
about for a while in the glare of
the blistering hot sun, exploded like
a thirteen inch gun and then the
driver was not fit to be seen. The
heft of the stuff, after exploring the
higher regions for time, came back
and dropped on the drivers head,
greatly to his modification, to the
straining of his temper and general
appearance.
George Beard reports case from
the west, of the weigher for the
Sioux City creamery, who started to
lift can onto the scales, when the
cover blew off and knocked his front
teeth out, so filling his mouth with
sour cream, dutch cheese, and etc.,
that he was unable to use swear
words until long after he was over
being mad.
Cream cannot be blamed for show
ing the spirit of the kicking COW
during such weather as we have had
in the past couple of weeks.
