ORGANIZE FOR NEW HOTEL
Officers Chosen nad Geo. B. McCARTY Lots To Be Taken Over Today
Last evening a meeting of those who have subscribed stock for Emmetsburg' s
new $50,000 hotel, was held in the office of McCARTY & McCARTY for the
purpose of organizing and preparing for business. There was a large
attendance, fifty of our leading business and professional citizens having
signed up to contribute towards the undertaking. The amount of the
authorized capital stock is placed at $75,000, but of course this amount
will not be needed. The following named parties were chosen directors: Wm
E.G. SAUNDERS, M.F. KERWICK, S.C. IRVINE, E.J. HIGGINS, Martin AUSLAND, W.I.
BRANAGAN and J.H. GODDEN. A meeting will be held today to elect a president,
vice-president, secretary and treasurer. It is the intention of the board to
take up the option for hte purchase of the three Geo. B. McCARTY business
lots for $40,000. Plans will be secured within a short time and the work of
construction will be commenced at as early a date as possible. It is the
intention of the stockholders to put up a three-story building to cover the
three lots and to make it strictly modern. If any who have not been seen
desire to take stock in the enterprise, they will be given an opportunity of
doing so.

Mrs. Nicholas MARTINI, Sr., Died Last Night.
Mrs. Nicholas MARTINI, Sr., died last night at the home of her son, Nicholas
MARTINI, of Freedom township. About two weeks ago she arose during the night
and fell on the floor. When picked up she was unconscious and one of her
arms was broken. It is likely that she never recovered from the effect of
the fall. The funeral will be held Friday morning. Services will be
conducted at St. Thomas church. Further particulars will be given next week.

Fine New Seed House for Emmetsburg
E.H. and E.B. SOPER, H.W. BEEBE, Robert McLAUGHLIN, H.M. HELGEN, A.T. HORTON
and others are organizing a $25,000 stock company to build a two story,
double front seed house in Emmetsburg. It will go up this summer. We commend
them for their enterprise. Emmetsburg needs such an institution. Enough
stock has been subscribed to insure the success of the enterprise.

Dr. CRETZMEYER Denies Rumor.
During the past couple of months there have been rumors afloat to the effect
that Dr. CRETZMEYER intended leaving Emmetsburg. The Doctor informs us that
such reports are groundless. He enjoys a large practice and he appreciates
it. He says he would not think of leaving our community. We are glad to
learn that the reports are not true. Dr. CRETZMEYER is a capable,
experienced physician and surgeon and he stands high among our citizens. The
Democrat wishes him continued success in his profession.

Milford Business Man Died Sunday
Edward MILLER, a harness dealer at Milford, died Sunday morning of neuralgia
of the heart. He was ill, but a short time. The funeral was held yesterday
and was very largely attended.
