The Democrats have circulated
broadcast over the county four different
so-called Republican tickets with Kel.
ly's name as Sheriff. The most pro.
toundly Democratic Republican ticket
we have seen is that containing the
straight Democratic county ticket, with
Bierman as Governor, the balance of the
State ticket being Republican. Look
out for these mixtures.
Republican tickets with Torrey's
name instead of Col. Il. +. Smith, as
Clerk, are being sent broadcast over
the county, with John Lilly's name us
County Surveyor omitted. The ticket
is said to have been printed at the Lake
Crystal Union office. Whoever is re-
sponsible for the willful reputation Of
Mr.. Lilly's name should receive the
condemnation of every honest man, al

AT the meeting of the Executive
Committee Of the Northwestern Dairy.
mems Association, held at FIT. Atkin-
son, Wis, last Wednesday, it was voted
unanimously To hold the next meeting
OF the Association at Mankato, Feb. 9Th
to 9Th next. The meeting promises to
he one of great interest tn the farmers
of the northwest, and the central Local
ton of Mankato with the excellent
facilities for reaching here from all
parts of the country will no doubt insure
large attendance.
Last Wednesday afternoon, at the
oil mills, the north wall of one of the
bins in the elevator fell out, spilling
about 1000 bushels of flax seed, damag-
ing slightly an office which was in proc
ess of construction, but injuring no
one, although an emplOye came near
being buried in the avalanche of grain.
The elevator was of brick, almost new,
having been built about two years ago,
and nothing but an enormous pressure
could have caused the accident. The
spilled seed was all recovered. Total
loss to buildings about $400.
The work of preparing the list of
improvements in the city during the
present season Is so much greater than
first anticipated that we find more time
is needed in order to present IA report
that will he complete, or nearly SO, In
its details. We already have large
list collected, but do not desire to pub
lish it until we can make full report
which will probably be next week. As
stated last week, we shall be glad OF
any assistance that may be rendered in
this work. The expenditures of the
season have been larger than many sus
pect, and in order to let the outside
world know that our boom is a substan
tial one, we will give the actual facts
and they will he sufficient evidence.
Anna Eva Fay,the renowned spirit
ualistic medium will give religious
illustrated lecture at Union Hall, Mex
Sunday evening. We have examined q
large number of testimonials from
prominent newspapers throughout the
country, all of which speak highly OF
the manifestations of this wonderful
lady. No attempt is made to explain
the mysterious features Of the lecture
the writer's with one accord admitting
that they are beyond human under
standing. Scientific men have mad,
the most thorough examinations, only
to find their skill ballled. A lecture Sc
unusual in its features will no doub
