Monterfdeo, Him.

The following very comprehensive write
up of one of the best towns on the Hastings
s. Dakota was distributed among the excur-
sionists:
Beautifully situated upon the east bank of
the Chippewa river near its confluence with
the Minnesota, and upon the Hastings 81
Dakota division of the Chicago, Milwaukee q
st. Paul railway, 125 miles, due west of st.
Paul, is found the young and thriving city
of Monteyideo, the county seat of Chippewa
county and the commercial center of large
section of the very finest agricultural lands
to be found in three of the best counties in
the upper Minnesota valley. Montevideo is
town of 1000 inhabitants, the business
portion Of which lies along the Chippewa
river, while the resident portion and public
buildings are located upon beautiful bluffs
that command magnificent view OF the two
valleys and of the adjacent country. A fine
court house, built in 1882 of brick manufac-
tured here, adorns public square, and
magnificent school house, also Of brick, oc-
cupies an adjacent block, while five
church edifices are found in the
immediate vicinity. In the business portion
Of the town there are three banks, three ele-
vators, three lumber yards, four hotels, five
machinery warehouses, four hardware stores,
three drug stores and large number Of dry
goods, grocery and provision houses, many
of them of the first class, with a proportion
ate number of harness, leather, millinery.
clothing and furniture houses and numerous
manufactures, machine shops, etc. The
new Montevideo Roller mills, located at the
head Of Main street, are of the first class and
utilize the splendid water power of the entire
river with nine foot fall. Other important
manufactures are ALSO carried on. including
milling, carriage factories, marble works,
etc. The educational and society adyan-
tages of the town are excellent and the peo-
pie are intelligent, enterprising and public
spirited
Within radius OF twenty five miles are
found over a million acres Of the very choic-
est agricultural lands Of this most remark
able valley, with scarcely an acre Of waste
land in the entire region. Owing to the
excellence of our country roads that
radiate from town in all directions,
to the superiority Of our milling and
shipping facilities. to the reliability and SUI
periority Of our markets and to the enterprise
and business sagacity Of our merchants and
fradesmen, these lands have been rendered
easily accessible and are, for the most part,
tributary to our town and markets, and as
they become more fully occupied and are
made productive, the business Of our town
VIII be very largely Increased. As IT Is, the
commercial business Of the town has been
closely estimated at very nearly 81, 900, 900
per annum. More than half million bush
els Of wheat were purchased from farmers
wagons in 1888. The milling business for
the coming year win aggregate 800, 900.
The dry goods and grocery trade at least

committee was raised but has
done nothing; but as it is now claimed
it has been intending to go to work, as
soon as Congress adjourned. Hale's move
ment, stimulated by Chandler, has had the
effect to head off any movement for gem
uine investigation. Chandler's idea of q
firm grip Fright behind the gills'' has been
realized.
Having performed this feat of jugglery
Chandler busters about and endeavors to
choke down the little truth that has leaked
out. Mr.. Hendricks did we'll to speak of the
rotten management of the Navy.
''The rascally Democrats" ought to take
hold OF the department presided over by
Chandler and expose its hideousness to the
country Let Chandler rave and foam as he
pleases, the more the better, crowd the rascal
so as to get some glimpse of the real truth.
His scheme, first to ignore, then to stile ex-
animation into the frauds, all the time fig
uring for extravagant appropriations, has
gone far enough. The people have the
power to apply the remedy. Turn the Rascals

Ashton.

At no point on the line was the reception
offered the Union more hearty or enthusiastic
than at Ashton. A band of music and the
whole town turned out to give the welcome
which they extended, force and volume. The
subjoined address was presented to the Union,
together with map of Sphinx county, show
ing the acreage In wheat and oats of each
township, the total Of which Is embodied in
the address. When the speeches by c. w.
Andrews and J. j. Cushing were ended the
visitors were invited to taste the water from
their artesian well, a barrel Of which contain
ing large cake Of ice, stood upon the plat
form at the corner Of the depot. The repre-
sentative Of the GLOBE being the only one
on board the train competent to judge Of
the { article, drank a pint cup full,
and found it most agreeab,y delicious, aud
contrary to all expectation and prophecy lived
to reach home with the rest. 1t was here that
we met the largest delegation Of ladies thus
far enroute, and their grace and beauty cap
tured the hearts Of the susceptible Jobbers
who pr ed upon over thirty Of them to
enter their splendid train and ride till the re-
turn regular train was met. This favor and
their gentle presence proved so enjoyable a
part Of the trip that the experiment was re-

dollars worth of fat cattle, hogs and young
stock was purchased here in 1883. More
than 500, 600 worth of farm machinery was
sold and nearly that amount OF hardware.
The lumber business OF ourtown Will approx
innate $1,000 per annum, the drug business
S25, 900, and the tobacco and liquor business
as much more. The harness and leather
business amounts to $4,000 and Sl2, 0OO
worth of hides and furs are purchased annu-
ally. Fifteen thousand dollars per annum is
a low estimate of our expenditures for pubic
buildings, stores and residences, and not
less than 100000 is annually paid out to
and other grain crops, And yet, it is esti-
mated, that not one-eighth part of our tilla-
BILE lands have ever been turned by the set
TIERS pillow. To estimate then, what the
traffic of our town shall be in the near fu-
ture, is not difficult task. OF the vast
amount of business already done, we have
the evidence that only small portion, al
most insignificant in mparison, has been
done with the merchant business men OF
st. Paul. Minneapolis, La Crosse, Milwau-
kee, Chicago, New York and other cities
have secured by far the greater and more
profitable share, and we are convinced that
the tendencies of our trade are away from
the commercial metropolis of our state.
With view to better understanding of the
business relations that surround us, we
solicit better acquaintance with theJobbers'
Union of st. Paul, and hope for much mu-
tual benefit from this their first visit to our
town.

ney. Mr.. j. J. Gushing, of Ashton, came aboard
upon invitation and remained with us
throughout the entire trip, as also did Mr.. J.
II. Marshall, of Ipswich and Mr. f. A. Dawes,
of Redfield.
The following address was distributed:
To the Jobbers' Union of ST. Paul
Welcome = The undersigned business
men of the city of Ashton, are
glad OF this opportunity to become
acquainted with you and in order that you
may become better acquainted with our re-
sources, we present to you the following facts:
The total number Of acres Of decided land
in the county is Az, The number of
acres sown to wheat and oats this year is as
follows: Wheat 10l, 914 acres; oats, 25, 5O4
acres The total assessed valuation for the
county is SO, 200, 900, distributed as follows:
Real estate outside of the towns, 81, 1853, 40;
real estate in the towns, $279, $50; personal
property, S961 900. The total population of
the county, according to the assessors
census, 9, 100. Placing the average yield of
wheat this year as low as fifteen bushels per
acre and oats at fifty bushels per acre, Sphinx
county will produce this year 1,52S, 40
bushels of wheat and 1880, 200 bushels
of oats, which will be distributed
among the various towns of the county for
shipment in the following ratio: OF wheat,
Mellette, 257,790 bushels; Worthwhile, H.,
$40; Athol, $500; Ashton, 419, 1926; Red
field, 156, $50; Tulare, $3.50; Crandon, $780,
1870; Frankfort, 207, 145; Dolland, $4,000.
Tie towns of Worthwhile, Athol, Tulare, Red
field and Dolland, being located near the
county line, will considerably exceed the
figures given of each of them-the estimates
here given being confined to the limits of
the county. Comparing these figures with
those of previous years, and the remarkable
and rapid growth of Sphinx county is APP

Judge Chandler.


The most humorous speech of the entire
trip was probably made by Judge j. A.
Chandler at the Howard City banquet, in re-
Spouse to the sentiment, "Our Lady Host
esses." His allusion to the father of our
race was not in terms
entirely complimentary to that
individual, but which were successful in
bringing down the house again and again.
His closing remarks were uttered in tone
full of sincerity and sentiment. The
sweetest words man ever learned to say
to woman, ever old and yet ever new.
Which have been uttered by the noblest,
bravest and best men OF all ages and nations
and which myself have uttered more than
thousand times principally to one woman)
and which now most sincerely and reyer-
emily say to you ladies Extending his hands
toward the Howard ladies' / love you. -
Nothing on the whole trip exceeded the
dramatic effect of this speech, passing in
one moment from some burst of pleasantly
to tie tenderest expression of pure senti-
ment as when he alluded to his own wife
and grown up daughters and the little grand
daughter. the idol of his heart.
The following is the splendid speech
entire of D D. Holdridge, of Howard, de-
liyered at the banquet:
Gentlemen Of the ST. Paul Jobbers' Union /:

And, first, the GLOBE will but voice the
entire sentiment of every member of the ex-

which they parted with the officials who had
accompanied them, IN saying that from first
to last not thing that would conduce to
the comfort and happiness of
their guests was omitted by
the management of the read who accom- pani-
ed US. Not an accident, not detention for
which they were chargeable, nor an inconve-
nience can be cited. Each division super
intendent, each conductor and every en-
ploye of the road outvied each other in at
tention to the management of the train and
the safety and comfort of the passengers.
The excursion was over the Hastings d

Wing to St. Paul Mr. G. w. Case, superin-
tendent of the river and Dubuque division
had the general supervision of the train and
absolute control of it while on his division.
1t was while making the run from Hastings
to st. Paul that the party was shown what it
was to ride fast, the distance twenty miles)
being covered In twenty-three minutes To
Mr.. Case, whose courteous attention to the
wants of those who composed the party and
whose practical, experienced eye was ever on
the alert during the entire trip. the cordial
thanks of the party are due Superintendent
Vim. NJ. Kellie also merits the warmest praise
for his indefatigable attention to the man
sgement of the train during the run from

was a matter of great surprise. On the
