kept him active in a business way for
many years. His mother, who is
eighty eight years old, and brother,
Joseph Kron, have lived with him
since the death of his wife a few
years ago.
Mr. Kron is one of the best known
men in Blue Earth county. He has al
ways taken as active interest in the
welfare of the city. He has built up a
large business at the corner of Main
and Front streets-a department
store known as 'The Leader" In this
business he has been ably assisted by
his nephew, Frank Stahl, young
business man of exceptional ability.
Mr. Kron is sixty-five years old
and has always enjoyed fairly good
health. About two months ago he
had a dizzy spell while in barber
shop, but returned home unaided, and
recovered from the spell without
medical assistance.
The many friends of the veteran
will deeply regret his pres
ent lines.

Not Recover

Fred Kron, the veteran merchant
prince, is very low at st. Joseph's
hospital and the attending physicians
hold out little hope for his recovery.
Mr.. Kron has been i'll about a week
with kidney and lung trouble. He
was removed early Monday morn

street to st. Joseph's hospital, where
he is receiving the best of care. His
case developed rapidly into one prac-

science. Today he was in a coma
nearly all of the time and this after
noon his condition was far from re-
assuring.
While at his home his sister, Mrs
Seidel of Waterville, cared for him,
and he continually insisted his condi-

a special nurse. Mrs. Seidel and Miss
Clara Stahl, the former sister and
the latter niece both went to the
hospital and have remained near him

Structure to Be Placed in
SibIey Park

The Blue Earth County Historical
society wants an old log house. They
have the historical old stage coach
and numerous other articles of early
day association, each with an inter-
esting history attached, and now
they want a typical old pioneer log
house in which to store them. 1t is
proposed, if such log house is pre-
scented to the society, to take the
building apart, and move it to Sibly
park, where it will be put together
again in exactly the same style of
architecture, and will be placed where
it will add to the picturesque sur
roundings in the park.
1t is said that there are a number
of old log houses in the vicinity of
Mankato, which have stood the test
of years and are still in good state
of preservation One OF these old log
houses would make an ideal store
room for the relics Of the historical
society, and being placed at Sibley
park could be visited and examined
by all who visited the park. The
membership of the society is rapidly
increasing, and it is planned to give
program of interesting papers at

st. Paul, Mimi, January 31.-That
the Minnesota house or representa-
tives would act favorably on the
proposed constitutional amendment
for absolute prohibition of the liq-
uor traffic in the state Of Minnesota

shown that the drys polled eighty
votes or fourteen more than were
needed. This was the first test vote
taken. This test vote was taken on
the proposed amendment to make
the state bone dry. The bone dry
amendment has recently been fought
by the prohibition workers and sup
ported by the west both sides evil
IDENTIFY thinking that if the amend
visions it would be turned down by
the voters at the polls.
But both sides have changed their
attitude in regard to the bone dry
amendment. The drys today admit
ted that they had made mistake
in sizing up the public sentiment.
They now are confident of getting
the people to act favorably even
on a dry bone amendment to the
constitution. The proposed amend
ment as it now stands prohibits the
manufacture, sale, gift or dealing in
intoxicating liquors within the state
of Minnesota, and also forbids abso-
'lutely the transportation of liquor
into the state. The provisions are
drastic and sweeping. Today's vote
on the bone dry provisions lined UP
accurately the vets and the drys,

drys had a substantial majority.
