JENSEN & LAMPERT.

There are two brilliant red dia-
monds on the letterhead used by this
firm. One on each side of the sheet.
On the left hand one it says: "Home
Of Quality and on the other prompt
Service And by the local sentiment
in St. Peter these slogans are we'll
and true. Jensen & Lampert are
dealers in lumber, builders hardware
and coal. And inclusive in these lines
we find drain tile, bee supplies, lad
ders, lime, brick, cement, and what
not all assembled for delivery upon
order. Mr.. Gust. Olson is the man
ager in charge of the office and yard,
at the corner of Third and Grace
street. Here's a tip for you-don't
forget that a call on the phone of
"9O' puts YOU in touch with this firm,
and gets you your service at once.
A good business and a rushing bust
ness is the way resident expressed
himself on this firm, and this appears
to be about the pith of the matter.

A. M. ANDERSON & co.

Up to ten years ago, this concern
was known as Oliver Anderson & Son.
being established in 1871 by Oliver
Anderson. The present firm of A. NJ.
Anderson and Company came into
control of the business on June l, 1914.
This is dry goods line of prints,
ladies ready to wear garments, un-
derwear, lingerie, silks, wooden goods,
toweling, percale, gloves, ribbon, mil
linery, ladies' and children's shoes,
and all the varied departments which
go to constitute the all round depart
ment and dry goods store. The old
concern had an enviable reputation
and for clean dealing and reasonable
prices, and the present firm is living
up to the precedent and gaining trade
every day through their adherence to
this maxim of business honesty which
so many fail to adhere to. Let your
family know that for dry goods, la
dies and misses and children's

St. Peter is popularity supposed in
story and tale to be good way away
from this mundane sphere, but in the
case in point, we can tell you exactly
where to find this individual, or rath-
er, place, to be painfully precise in
the matter. The city of St. Peter is
located on the west bank of the Min
nesota river, about seventy-fve miles
from St. Paul. and served by two
trunk lines of railroad-the Chicago
St. Paul, Milwaukee & Omaha, and
the Chicago & Northwestern Rail-
ways. The Luce Electric Short lines
are building into the city in the near
future. St. Peter is the county seat
of Nicollet County and has a popu-
lation of some five thousand thrifty
and healthy people. The citizens of
St. Peter are moral, enterprising,
intellectual and progressive. St.
Peter has nine churches, two Cath
Ollie, of which one is a credit to not
only the city but the country locality
in general. The educational facilities
are unexcelled. Gustavus Adolphus
is located here. In addition to this
is Lagerstrom's Conservatory of Mu-
sic and Catholic parochial school
and one other institution of parochial
nature. There are three banks of
sound financial standing, with ag-
gregate deposits of over million and
a quarter dollars; dry goods stores;
clothing, shoe, grocery, drug, furni-
ture and hardware stores, all supplied
with full stock and right up to date
The city owns its own electric light
and power plant and finds the SER
vice thus obtained to be highly salts
factory indeed. There are two cream
cries, commercial club, public Ii
brary, brewery, opera house, state
hospital for the insane, artesian wa
ter works, and three weekly papers,
four hotels, bottling works, tile and
cement works, overall factory, cigar
factories, stone quarries, steam laun-
dry, greenhouses, shirt factory, scenic
drives, wooden mills, iron works,
three grade schools, one business COL
lege, thirty miles of cement walks,
modern sewerage system, 40 miles of
graded streets, volunteer fire DEPART
ment. Another pleasant feature of
life in St. Peter is found in it's near
ness to several lakes where fishing,
camping, hunting, swimming and
summer sports are to be had for the
asking. The country around St. Peter
is rich, fertile and productive of splen-
did crops. Land sells for from $50
to 500 in the vicinity, where in the
case of considerable Improvement as
is very often the case, the price is
far above this $780,.
The composite mixture of the ma
tionalities in and around St. Peter has
been of vast benefit, as the blending
and fusing of different bloods makes
for sturdy, economical, yet bril-
liant race of people, and with this
mixture St. Peter is we'll favored. The
city is pleasant one in which to visit
and the transient visitor is charmed
with the individual environment
which he finds extant and the general
atmosphere of content and prosper
ity, physical, spiritual and financial.

THE FIRST NATIONAL
BANK.

Far back in the year of 1857 was
this bank established. That is long
time ago, but during all this while
this institution has been growing
steadily and keeping pace with the
advance of progress and the develop
of the country in which it was To-
Gated, meeting all conditions with
equanimity and taking care of the
tightly pressed in hours of stress: The
First National has a new building
which is fine one, and has just been
occupied but a short time, since July

The summit or the top of every
thing is generally conceded to be the
knoll, and so it is with this firm,
known as Theo. w. Knoll. Originally
this concern was first opened for bust
ness by Theo. Knoll, father of the
present proprietor, the year of 1875
witnessing the first years business,
but since the year of 1905 the firm
has been known and designated as

BURKE & WEBSTER.

A capacity of three hundred and
fifty barrels daily is that of the St.
Peter Roller Mills, of which Burke
& Webster are the proprietors. Mer-
chants millers are they and the "Dia-
mond Bluff flour is the leader
among their variety of popular and
deservedly we'll known products.
This flour is sold all over Minnesota,
Iowa, Ohio, Illinois, and the New
England states. Burke & Webster
have had control of this industry for
four years, and number among the
different brands turned out those of

of the proprietors. Both gentlemen

of their special product, Diamond

opportunity to transact his business

Iowa City, Jan. 26.-To be held ,p
by highwaymen and. after they have
failed to rob you Of anything. to re-
quest them to "give you ride'-and
to have your petition granted-that is
an experience Of novel type. Jacob
Slower, an Iowa City farmer, enjoyed
tiff the novelty can be said to lead
to enjoyment. The highwaymen drove
up TO Slower on country road, at
night, and commanded him to throw
UP his hands. He did so and while
one covered him the other rified his
pockets. No money was found, how
ever The disguised men were about
to drive away when Slower begged
them to give him assistance in the way
of a drive down the roadway. They
did it. Slower was carried Several
rods in the buggy and courteously left
at his destination. Another feature to
the attempted highway robbery was
that the men had followed afoot, Ed
Bronson. of Tiffin, another farmer, who
had 5000 in his pockets, all day. until
he spent $50 of it. Then he eluded
them for a time and. when they drove
to the. country road. they thought they
were following him again, whereas
they trailed Slower by error. Bronson
and his s240 reached Tiffin untouched.

DEPARTURE IN COURT METHODS.

Special TO Times Republican.
Des Moines, Jan. e6.-The supreme
court did something yesterday which
marks a departure IN court methods
that will De welcomed. Il took under
Amusement the application Of the Des
Moines City Railway Company for a
modification OF the decree fixing time
when the company must either get 4
franchise or move OFF the streets, and
the court took this under Amusement
wholly out OF the regular order and
without waiting for the lapse Of time
for filings and counter filings. etc. In
short. the court swept aside the tech
nicalities and will consider the case at
once. This would Indicate that the
court IS in a mood to hustle things
along and get results regardless OF
teehnicalities.
The application puts the attorneys

Attorney Parrish, for the street car

and Just the thing for a court to modi-
f. en old decree any time and gra-r:
whatever extension of time may be
deemed wise: and attorneys for the

case on the corporation attorney and
suggest that what was good in one case
should he in another.
But anyway the supreme court is
not standing on technicalities.
