The following brief sketch of Owatonna
may not be uninteresting in connection with
the occurrence of the state fair
The city of 0watonna located in the gar
den of Minnesota is one of the neatest, pref
test and at the same time one of the
briskest and business like cities in Mime
sofa. Situated at the point where the two
great northwestern lines of railway in ersect,
the city has always enjoyed immunity from
excessive freight rates and has always been
an exceptionally fine market. Its surround
ings are those of a finely settled thriving
farming region where the comfortable farm
buildings and fine herds of stock, the trim,
tidy looks of the farms and universally fine
crops give token of more than prosperous
community. 1t is all farming land of the
finest and best quality and is capable of sus-
tanning a much greater population than
most sections of the country Its fine
natural meadows as we'll as the admirable
and prolific yields of all kinds of tame gras-
ses and pure and abundant water supply
make the surrounding country about Owa-
tonna prominently stock region.
The city contains four thousand people
and is well and solldly built. Its business
portion is almost exclusively built of solid
brick, and contains more than the usual
number of fine business structures. It is
compact and well arranged so far as the ar
rangement OF its business blocks is con-
cerned, and its streets and squares are well
graded and are kept in the best condition.
Its residence portion is delightful, and the
view as you drive along its finely shaded
residence streets lined on each side with
dwellings which betoken not only taste and
comfort but even luxury and elegance
is one that charms the beholder. The site
of the city is upon the straight river, and the
elevation above the rivers level affords the
most perfect facilities for natural drainage
The water supply Of Owatonna is abundant
and pure, and is obtained from wells from
fifteen to thirty feet deep. In addition to
this the ''Vichy'' mineral springs,
located only mile from the city
furnish water whose medicinal properties are
fast making them and the city famous. a
beautiful park adjoining them, containing
forty acres, and which is owned by the city.
The delightful drives which Owatonna pos
sesses, the delightful and picturesque scenery
with which it abounds and is surrounded,
the springs and park, the fine hotels, and to
the sportsman the vast number of water

Yesterday Afternoon Arrests.

Peter Arnold and Mike Galosh, of Mime
apolis, were down to see the procession yes
terday afternoon, and had some words at
Moorhead's stable about paying their bill for
taking care of span of horses while they
were taking in the sights on foot. After
wards they commenced driving up and down
Washington street quite ftiriously, to the
danger of the throng of people on the same.
when Chief Clark ordered officer Henry Babe
to ask them to desist. On doing so they gave
him back offensive epithets and drove off at a
break neck speed again towards the market
house, but he pursued and arrested them.
On being brought into the city hall they grew
so wild and abusive that they were ordered
put in cells, whereupon both fought the
officers with the ferocity of tigers, and a
heavy scrimmage ensued before the keys
were turned on them.
Late yesterday afternoon a fight took place
in Seventh street saloon between Fred Som
mers, Gust Johnson, John Murphy and g.
w. Botto and the crowd were pulled and
taken to the city hall, where they gave bail
in S25 each for disorderly conduct.

and gave bail for their appearance this morn
ing in the municipal court. AS some of the
young men put to this trouble were not con-
cerned in the throwing of the handbills it
looks as though the ''cop' had exceeded
his authority.

REPUBLICAN BOSSES
Of Wright County Reviewed Their
Power Waning.
lspec1al correspondence Of the eIope.


BUFFALO, Mimi, Sept. 5. 1.-THE people of
Wright county are getting sick Of Stacy and
his ring" said a prominent Republican to
your reporter the other day.
The fact of the matter is that "Oily Stacy''
and ''MeToo Steward, as they are called,
are waning in power, more especially since
they ousted Nathan Warner from the ring
and defeated him for county treasurer last
fall. Mr.. Warner, honest faithful and true
to his duty, would not act as a tool to the
bosses, so he got the bounce. This caused
great dissatisfaction aud created two fac
tons, which will tell at the polls in Novem-
Der. j. n. Stacy runs for auditor. As far
as o. j. Steward is concerned, he will be no
great help this fall, for he is almost univer-
sally hated by his own party. He is some
what like Sabin, who went up rocket and
came down stick. Why, Steward knows
so little that even Stacy now seems to be
ashamed of him. 1t is well known that
Stacy, Steward 81 Co. were strong Fletcher
men, and were much chagrined at his de-
feat. and spoke of the Gillian fraud as a
terrible outrage. Mr.. Gifllan is a very good
man now, and will get their hearty support.
This is quite change in a short time. Saw
ing he is fraud one day and a good honest
man the next don't take very well here.
But it is as one of our farmers said, "Those
fellows will do anything for the proper con-
sideration.'' The people are onto these fell
lows ''bigger than a WOLF and are fully de-
termined to ''turn the rascals out.n The
universal cry here is, ''Stacy must goD

4 Little SECRET Historu.


The quarter of a second by which Maud S.
reduced the trotting record naturally causes
a good deal of talk among horsemen and
lovers of the sport of trotting. Here is a
little bit of inside history, as related by Mr..
Busbey, in the TurJ, Field and Farm:
The 2:094 record of Maud S. was made
on Saturday. Mr.. Vanderbilt was put in
possession of all the facts, and so strong was
his faith in her ability to still further reduce
the record that he wired Capt. Stone the fol-
lowing morning that he might keep the mare
at Cleveland a few days longer and make an
other trial. Soon after receiving this dis
patch Capt Stone met Mr.. Busbey and re-
quested him to stop over and act as one of
the timers on Monday, Mr.. Edwin Thorne
was also requested to remain and act as
timer. Rain began to fall in the afternoon,
and the skies were threatening Monday
morning. Believing that the weather would
not become settled for two or three DAYS,
and as Capt. Stone had urgent business at
Cincinnati, it was promptly decided to ship
the mare to Mr.. Vanderbilt at Saratoga, and
she was forwarded in charge of Grant to her
owner by the afternoon express. Had the
weather element not opposed, Maud S. would
have started for wager on Monday, Aug. 4,
to beat 2 :09$4 and the probabilities are that
her effort would have been crowned with
success.
The Queen of the Turf has changed
owners, but she is now at Hartford being
prepared by her old trainer, Bair, to trot in
public against 2:94 She will not be
allowed to start for purse, premium, stake or
wager, but if the trial should be made on a
day when the association has other races in
progress, and if it should be advertised in
advance, people viii pay at the gate to wit
ness the performance, and the ''admission
fees" clause will force a record upon her.
Mr.. Bonner will not profit in the least by the
performance; he will accept nothing either
directly or indirectly for the exhibition but
as the trial will put money into the pockets
of the association, he will be compelled,
under the rule and the Interpretation given
to it by the board of review, to shoulder the
record.
There is no way of getting around the fact
that record of 2:994 was put upon Maud S.
when she was owned by Mr. Vanderbilt.
That gentleman sold her in the firm belief
that the record was genuine, that he was
parting with the fastest trotter under the rule
in the world, and the law as well as its for
NAL construction is such that the belief will
not be overthrown.

After the 2:2S class had been disposed of

Maxy Cobb trotted at Hartford against the

depending on the result, but as the exhibit
ton was advertised in advance, money was
taken at the gate to witness the performance,
and the mile, under the admission fees
clause, passed into the record. There are
now two stations before the public with bet
ter records than Smuggler: Phallas, 2:I3s<,

Previous to the so, 900 race at Hartford,
Mr.. j. d. Ripley requested Mr.. Charles II.
Raymond to put price on the gray gelding,
Phil Thompson, who was entered for the
purse and was regarded as having a good
chance to win. Mr. Raymond declined. but
said that he would entertain an offer. Mr.
Ripley remarked in an off-hand way, 1T will

'Say double and So, 600 additional and the
horse is yours" ''No, but will make it
$1,000" Mr.. Raymond reflected moment
and then remarked, 81 will take it.'' ''All
right, now tell me what you paid Mr.. David

you not know!' ''No." ''Wen, it was

gelding was four years old S25, 900 would not
nave touched him; but times have changed a
little and Mr.. Raymond is satisfied with the
bargain. When u man offers more than
