years ago it was the happy home of the
Oliver family, which consisted of tho
father snd two children, son and daneh

tul girl. had many sutors, but to all did
she say nay, save one, poor Young
man of whom her father disapproved,
and whom he had forbidden her to see

caught the young man on the grounds la
would shoot him. But true love not
only laughs at bolts and bars. hut at
shot guns as we'll. One evening the
young lady, having agreed to msot her
lover at the foot of the lane, donnsd
suit OF her brothers clothes. hoping
thereby to escape detection, anil sailed
forth. Her keen-cyed father caught
sight Of her as she marched boldly a.
long, and thinking he recognized in the
trespassors the young man who had been
forbidden tho grounds, raised his gun
and fired. The feminine shrek which
pierced the air revealed TO him what he
had done. His daughter was deal be.
forc he reached her side. and from that
day the wretched father became q wan

the murdered girl was the first one TO

TIE Chicago Races.

CaICAGo. June 26.-At the second regu-
lar day Of the Chicago summer running
meeting TIE weather was cloudy and cool
and the track muddy and very slow from
last nights rains. There was a fair at

stables, for fear CT injury.

STATE NOTES.

The citizens of Albert Lea are working
actively to secure the establishm ent in tha
town of the long-talked of albert Lea
college" Subscription papers are in Cir
culation, with fair prospect of raising
the required amount.
A disgraceful fight occurred in Jordan
on late Sunday night, growing out of an
attempt to put stop to a preconcerted
mill between two amateur pugilists. A
general melee ensued, doing no great
credit to the advanced civilization of Jor-
dan.
Nine passenger cars came into Red
Wing the other day over the Minneapolis
& st. Louis railway, filled to overfowing
with excursionists. They had a band oi
music on board. The continuous and
heavy rains at the time married, if it did
not entirely destroy the pleasure of the
excursion.
country boy stole gun valued at SIS
from the store of MIR. Lewis Wilman the
other day. The young thief was found
arrested, the gem found and he was taken
before a justice, plead guilty, was fined $50
which was paid by his friends, and he was
permitted to go home. Not very prof.
table or praiseworthy enterprise.
Last week a passenger on the west
bound train, when near Nelson, Watonwan
county, while examining his loaded re
volver, discharged it accidentally into the
palm of his hand shattering the bones
badly. The ball passed up through the
arm nearly to the elbow. The reader can
point the moral which adorns this tale.
Winona Herald: The rush of immi-
grants to western towns is not so oppres-
sive as it was few weeks ago, but there
is healthy stream pouring through Vino
ma on both the great roads-every regular
train being quiet well filled with foreign
settlers,very few of whom are going across
the Manitoba border. By far the greater
number are settling in Central Dakota.
A young fellow in his teens got drunk in
Herman, Grant county, the other day, and
like ma1dlin fool as he was. mounted a
horse and rode recklessly, and to the dan
ger of many people, through the streets.
He disregarded all warnings to desist, and
was taken in charge by the marshal,
locked up, sobered of, fined SIS and costs
for his drunken freak. A promising youth /,
truly, and there are many such.
A half dozen contiguous barns were re-
eral houses we're destroyed and the busi-
ness center of the town narrowly escaped
destruction. The fire department and
citizens fought the devouring element
valiantly. Hotels and dwellings were in
imminent peril, and had the fire got into
them the confagration would have been
most disastrous. The total loss on the
property burned is estimated at $3,4OO,
partially insured.

Il Bg'tttQE Exhibition.

New YoRK, June 26.-Jim Murray, Of
Providence knocked out in two rounds r.
TurnbuIl, of New York. The battle lasted
but four minutes and twenty seconds.
Sciences and Queensbury rules were alike
ignored. TurnbulI was knocked down
four times in the first round and stood
up again when both clinched. The referee
tried to separate them, shouts of ''fouI'
were 1aised and the referee, pugilists and
crowd were all wrangling. Murray paid
no attention to any one but continued to
pound Turnbull, until he fell bleeding,
helpless and battered in Murray's corner.
He again got on his
legs and was fought dowr,
when the time keeper called time, which
he should have done ninety second ssooner.
Turnbull's nose was either split or broken,
his eyes blackened and lips bruised and
protruded. The second round was another
brutal exhibition. Turnbull came to the
scratch in dazed condition. Murray
went at him without delay and battered
him until, beaten beyond recognition, he
fell senseless mass IN the ring. Time
was again called at lapse of ten seconds.
Turnbull could not respond. and Murray
was declared the winner.

ROLLINS, the New Hampshire senator
seeking reelection, is sharing the fate of
Wm. Window, and will be defeated, not
withstanding he is the candidate of the
caucus. Caucus has been king from the
birth of the Republican party, but the
kingdom is going to decay. The infamous
tyranny, the gross corruptions of the caucus
system have finally broken it down, the
machine is smashed, the mill will no
longer grind. Since the last Presidential
election the Republican caucus candidates
for the Senate of the United States have
been defeated in the following states:
Massachusetts, Connecticut, Pennsylvania,
New York, Michigan, Wisconsin and Min
nesota. The caucus system is Republi-
can invention, device to secure and re-
tain tke spoi!s, and has been repudiated
by state after state ii rapid succession,
showing the sure decoy of the Republican
party. The people are rising above the
machine, and every time it is done there
is great gain to good government, to
economy and integrity in public expendi-
tGres. These are cold days for the spoils-
men, even III summer weather.

TIE HIPPY F.4NILT.

On8 of the largest attended state con-
ventions ever held by the Republicans
takes place in st. Paul to-day. While it is
probable that the present state ticket will
be nominated in its entirety, there is
sufficient amount of bloviation and un-
uncertainty to make it interesting. 1t
has proven sufficiently interesting to bring
together the lsrgest collection of promin-
ent politicians ever seen in
Minnesota. The moss covered hulks
of the party who have of late
suffered defeat have gathered for a su-
preme effort to retrieve their fallen for
tunes. They were busy counting noses
last night and if they think they can win
the convention today will be an exceed
ingly lively affair. 1t defeat is inevitable
they are shrewd enough not to show their
full hand but will accept the situation
with as good grace as they can muster.
The outlook last night was favorable to
the nomination of the present Republican
state ticket with the possible substitution
of Hon. s. G. Comstock for Charley
Gilman. Those who think Gilman's case
is hopeless may be disappointed. He has
elements of strength in the very opposi-
tion to him which may, in
pinch, prove useful. The insane
war made by the Pioneer Press upon
State Treasurer Kittleson has aroused the
Scandinavians and they have come down in
force to the convention. AS far as Knute
Nelson can control them, they will be
thrown for Gilman.
If the Window Pillsbury crowd fail to-
day, as seems most probable, they will 90
down permanently. They have been
the "bosses" so long that they relin-
quish their grip with an ill-grace
and many wro faces but they may as well
understand that their day of rule is over
Their effort to gain supremacy to-day will
only add to their humiliation and deser.
