The tarry was long enough to permit the
were exhibited in the depot The popu-
lation of the neighborhood is largely German,
but we were all Germans enough to learn
that crops are booming, everybody prosper
Gus and contented. MT. Soule Joined the
party here, and presented the following ad-
dress to the gentlemen of the party:
GENTLEMEN: Thinking your stay in Mt.
Lake will prove too brief to acquire, by per-
sonal conversation, an accurate knowledge
of its business resources. / jot down some
memoranda in regard to it:
Mt. Lake is situated on the Omaha line,
half way between st. Paul and Sioux City, in
Cottonwood county, MINI. It takes its name
from an island in Mt. Lake, about two miles
| from the station, which the Indians termed
| ''Floadng Island"
Though the village is small and unpreten-
tious, it has seven stores, tow mill, wagon
shop, harness shop two blacksmith shops,
two churches and good school building, and
| the country surrounding it is more thickly
settled than any other portion of southwest
| ern Minnesota.
| The town organization includes two town
ships and contains over one-fifth of the pop
ulation of the entire county and pays about
one-third of the county taxes.
Flax is the principal market crop of which
was shipped during the fall and winter
months over 100, 900 bushels besides a pro-
portionate amount of other grains. Three
hundred and eighty tons of tow (manufac-
! tured from fax straw and large amount of
stock.
The surrounding country has large flocks
of sheep, herds of cattle and other stock,
graded high from the use of thoroughbred
stations, bulls and buck.
| The population is composed of Americans,
Scandinavians and Russian Mennonites (of
original Dutch extraction) this place being
the center of the Minnesota colony. The
settlers are all thrifty and in good circum-
stances.
Crops are looking finely and prospects for
| harvest never better.
Our station agent informs us that his
freight way bills number fully one-third more
than at Window station, the county seat.
| In conclusion the ''Blue Grass region
is in healthy condition and would not ex-
change with the frigid, one idea ''grand,
beautious, bountiful, golden northwest of
Red River flaming circular notoriety, instead
of honest fact and wealth.
tsWhen a man goes where Indian corn
won't grow, he's long way from home"
Yours truly, s. H. SoULE,
In behalf of the business men of Mountain
| Lake, MINI.
| At Bin CHAM Lake the train made short
! halt and the eXcursionists made a rush for
| Gillls and Firman, Bingham Lake creamery
adjoining the track, where they regaited
themselves with liberal potations of butter
| milk.

Valley Springs.

There was huge banner upon the side
of the elevator reading, 'welcome to the first
town in Dakota" In recognition President
Finch called for three cheers for Valley
Springs, and the shout that followed reoched
far and wide. I. W. Martin, editor of the
Enterprise, then called for three cheers for the
st. Paul men, and the Valley Springs boys
made the air ring and ring again.
The following extra was distributed to all
upon the excursion train:
To the business men of st. Paul, greeting:

At ST. Ju1tleS.

There were lots of folks, and an excur-
sionist who didn't know a st. James
man was not in sight. This
pretty hamlet was first settled in 1870, and
though 122 miles from St.. Paul
the business men of the metropolis
are proud to know such merchants as j. H.
Roberts, D. G. Byrne, Harry Herrick, T.
Veltum, Swanson 81 Larson, D. G. Bacon
and W. w. Gibbs, of the st. James hotel,
snd such citizens as S. c. Clark, j. j. Thorn

Weston, George B. Johnston, H. Oleson,
L. Hoschid, j. W. Seager, w. A. Chapman,
w. P Kempt, and last, but not least, John

lost but he saved his chicken salad. Among
representative men were Atoms Forbes,

At LNrerMe.

Two hundred miles of the journey was ac
complished and the precious prairie stretched
out to the utmost extent of vision. The halt
occupied some ten minutes and the wei set
tied neighborhood was seen as we'll as the
thriving town with banks, stores, hotels, four
churches, graded school and pleasing popu-
lation. The pretty town is regularly laid out
and ahows abundant thrift in every respect.

At lie St,e,tr

At 10 o'clock LIE Sueur was reached, and
as the train halted briefly the excursionists
were greeted by a large delegation of the
principal citizens of the pretty and
thriving city, with the LIE sueur
brass band in its handsome uniform, which
discoursed delightful music. This act of
spontaneous courtesy was fully appreciated
and as Conductor Hudson gavesthe signal
sail aboard, - cheers sent their ringing echoes
down the valley to tell the people of LIE Sueur
that their good will, SO unexpected and SO
graceful, made the pleasantest of impressions.
Messrs. H. c. Smith, Geo. Taylor and w.
H. Patton, of LIE Sueur, joined the party here
for the run to Mankato, and what of good
cheer the commissary afforded was theirs to
command.

Coal Miners Convention.

PITTSBURGH, June 1.-THE railroad coal
miners in convention to-day decided to pc
tition the court for the appointment of
trades tribunal to settle all disputes between
the employer and employed occurring dur
ing the ensuing year. Dispatches from the
river mines state that about two-thirds of the
miners of the four pools joined the strikers
for distinct price to-day. The operators
claim that the men will return to work at the
old wages in few days.

MUnEafO.

Though running at high rate of speed,
the Jobbers' Union train reached Mankato
the capital city of the Blue Earth valley few
moments later than the 1928 of the time
card, and here the realistic features of the
expedition began. At the station among the
throng. were such representative citizens as
Hon. John F. Meagher, Mayor
Geo. W. Paine, Jas. Shoemaker, j. c. Wise.
of the Reoieac, G. f. Piper, Geo. Laumn, L.
A. Moore, Henry Shaubut, J. C. Noe, Harry
Brewer, j. A. Willard, w. Hodapp, J. H.
Davis, G. c. Burt, c. II. Marsh, o. R. Math-
er, w. w. Paddock, R. D. Hubbard, Stephen
Lamur, and many others whose faces it was
delight to see. 1t pleased the humor of the
excursionists to make captives of Hon. John
F. Meagher, Mayor Paine and Mr.. Mather,
who by some inscrutible.. enchanting by
Judge Chandler and Albert Scheffer,were de-
posted upon the train just as the conductor
pulled the bell rope. A moments reflection
convinced the Mayor that it would never do
to leave his post in so unceremonious a man
ner, and he nimbly skipped
to the ground, landing by the
side of a board fence with dexterous grace
from whence he waved his adieus. The
other gentleman were soon initiated.and ap-
peared decorated with the white badge of
honor, and settled down to the regular life of
the excursion, Judge Chandler assuring
them that he had supply of night shirts fol
all captives. Running six miles onward a
stopwas made at famed
MINNEoPA FALLS,
when the whole company alighted and
reveled in a scence of rural beauty of most
picturesque charm. In a measure MINI eops
is counterpart of Mime
haha, and the surrounding grounds
are all that can be desired for pleasure re
sort, and for miles around the people repair
thither for social recreation, in the cooling
shade, where the silver sheen of the flowing
falling water defies the painters art or poets
song to reflect its graceful beauty.

W. B. Dean, of ST. Paul, was next called
out and said that he wanted to second what
Mr.. Scheffer had said Of the welcome and
reception which they had received on the
part of the jobbers' union. The great Clue
Grass region' through which they had
passed was splendid region. 1t was not a
new region. They had known of it for a
long time through their travelling men who
had been going up and down it for years.
The merchants and business men of this sec
ton had been known to them for years, and
they were glad to meet them now and shake
them by the hand ~fs4-~

CHICKENS COMING nsME To RoosT.

A special dispatch to the Portland
Daily Neacs from Chicago dated Aug.
10 reads as follows: "The Times this
morning prints dispatch OF two col
umns, dated at Miilersburg, KY,
which charges Blaine with the seduc-
tion and subsequent desertion OF q
young lady while he was a teacher,
thirty years ago, in an institution for
the education of boys at Blue Lick,
some twelve miles from MIllerburg.
The young lady was an inmate of the
female school in MiIIersburg, and both
the institutions were under the same
management. Anonymous afiidayits
are printes 10 the effect that the young
lady was seea TO be in a delicate con-
dillon and accusing Blaine of her ruin.
The article concludes that af1idavits
are in the possession of the Times, and
can be inspected by any one who has
the right to look at them"
It would seem from this that the
friends of Blaine will find that man
who lives in a glass house should not
be the first to throw stones. They,
have, by their course of "mud sling
ing," invited CIeveland's friends to
justsuch an attack as this upon Blaioe.
This scandal against Mr. Blaine has
been limited at for a month or so by
such leading republican papers as the
New York Times, New York Evening
Post, Harpers Weelly, Springfield Re-
publican, and others. We regret that
any paper supporting Cleveland
should have given publicly to this
s. ory OF scandal which has been known
only TO few. True the Times is In
pendent but it is supporter of Cleve-
land. It is unfortunate that a cam
paIgn for the presidency of a great
ard intelligent people should degener-
ate into one of "mud singing" The
republican party, however, opened
up this kind Of warfare and we shall
not be surprised If thoy get moro of 1t
than they want.

The Louisville Post says; "The Gin.
cinna:i Commercial Gazette of yesterday
reproduces in the editorial columns the
worst part of the filthy scandals against
Cleveland. The Post is in possession
of facts in regard to Mr.. Blaine's con-
duct while a school-teacber in Ken
tucky, of the mob that threatened him
and Of bis submission to their demands
to avoid being lynched. If the Repub-
licans continne this mode of making
war it will be interesting to Mr.. Blaine
and his friends. A word to the wise is
sufficient" This publication by the
Post has excited much curiosity and it
is said that residents of the town in
which Blaine taught school are ready to
come forward with afidavits which viii
crafty ell that is manifested.

ONE OF TINE nEsT.

One Of The beat planks in the Demo
cratic platform is Governor Cleveland q
record.-DEMocRAT.
Our contemporary must be joking.
After all the filth that is being published
about the character of Grover Cleveland
it can't be possible that the editor Of the
DEMOCRAT published the above as any.
thing but o joke.-HsraH.
We are surprised that the Herald
should be 80 dull as TO fall4nto such an
error as the above. Our contemporary
must see after reading our paragraph
about FIVE or six times, that wc spoke Of
Cleveland's record, and not the dirty
driveling campaign lies of such Repub-
lican newspapers as the Chicago Tribune
San Francisco Chronicle, the Oregonia,s,
and others that delight, like. j John A Lo-
gan, to do "dirty work." The SANDERS
published about Cleveland constitute no
part of his record.

An iuteIIioent Irish voter of this !

An intelligent Irish voter of this city
says that all the Irish voters of the
country are receiving letters from the
Blaine Managers in which promises are
freely made that in case Blaine should
be elected, the tail of the British shall
be given severe twist. This gentle
man says that Irish voters are not to
be csjoled in that way. They have not
forgotten that nearly all the prominent
leaders of the Republican party were
formerly know nothings and that the
democrats have always been their true
friends.

Il appears to have been forgotten by
those who talk 30 fippantly about
Cleveland being monopolist that when
the general government felt that the
Union Pacific r. r. had its monopolis-
tic hand upon the throat nf the people
and in response to the people, Thurman
cana forward with the Thurman bill
to break It's power, none were more
ready, prompt and anxious to defeat the
bill than Matthews now on the Supreme
Bench, Teller now Secretary of the In
terror, Blaine, and Butler. This meas
ure vas, while pending, looked upon
with grave concern by the people of the
,Vholo country as being the sharply de-
fned issue between monopoly and the
people. Butler and Blaine were array
ed alongside of the monopolies. Vidette,
take notice.
