We are glad to announce that Lieut.
Clyde, of Little Falls, has fully recov.
cred from the injuries received in the
sham battle during the encampment
of the Second regiment at this city
His eyes are, or will be in short
time, as good as they ever were anil
his face has been freed from powder
marks. The Lieutenant returned
home from St. Joseph's hospital, st.
Paul, on Monday of last week.
Our neighboring town of Mankatc is
in considerable excitement over fam.
lily scandal, the parties being DR..
Christensen, his wife, and!a hired girl.
It appears that the doctor neglected
his wife and was too assiduous in his
attentions to the girl. The indignant
wife at last took courage and informed
some of the neighbors. Soon a large
crowd of men gathered about the doc
tors house and induced the girl to
leave. The doctor did not show him
self to the crowd. There is talk of a
coat of tar and feathers.
Mr.. and Mrs. G. Sommer and Mrs.
Phi. Gross had quite lively expert.

day. They had gone out to the for
mer's farm a few miles from the city
and on their return home, while Mr..
Sommer was in the act of picking some
berries for the ladies, the team sud.
denly started on the run. Mrs. Som.
mer jumped and escaped unhurt but
Mrs. Gross remained in the carriage
until violently hurled to the ground
by a sudden turn of the horses. For

The State Fair folks are entitled to
the sympathy of the entire state.
Twice this season have their exhibit
ton buildings at Owatonna been de-
stroyed by wind storms. On Friday
evening preceding the late storm the
citizens of Owatonna. under whose
direction the buildings were being
constructed, had voted to assess them.
selves an additional sum of $50 each
for the purpose of completing the
buildings, and the main building was
all but completed when the fierce
wind swept it away. The people of
Owatonna and Steele county and the
fair managers, however, were equal to
the emergency. The commissioners
of Steele county promptly appropriate
ed $l 500 and the fair managerr sue
ceeded in raising nearly an equal
amount by contributions from citizens
of St. Paul, and the buildings will all
be rebuilt in time for the fair the
first week in September. Despite the
numerous set-backs the managers
propose to make the coming fair equal
to any that has ever been held in the
State.
