It will be seen that Minnesota exhibit

the premiums and most ofthese are first

carries off first premium for fancy and
print butter. This display was on exhi-
bition at the Mankato House, this city,
one day before it was shipped to the
South and was viewed by many of our
people. Patten & Co., of LeSueur, take
the sweepstakes for butter made at any
time or place, also third money for but

Mrs. Mary Kelly, of Pennington, takes
first money for butter in fancy design,

Winnebago City, pocketed 500 first

Last week we recorded an account Of

ton Of life and property with power
full explosive, ever occurring in the world;
and when We penned that item, we
could but regret thst such results could
be produced by the innate depravity Of
civilized (P) fellowmen; and along with
this arose breath of thankfulness that
We breathe another and better atmos-
phere, that Of a liberty endowed govern.
ment instead Of shackled monarchy.
But, apparently, We were somewhat pre-
mature in this indulgence for In less
than week do we read of the work of
the same chemical power. perhaps
prompted by hands governed by q
similar unfortunate spirit, right here in
our own Empire city Saturday night,
the result being general SCATTERING of
two dry goods stores.
II seems that some trouble existed be-
tween Messrs. Garry Bros, dry goods
dealers, and their clerks, the latter be.
ing on a strike, and who had been giving
their employers trouble for some time.
There exists in that city what is known
as the Equality Association" which
works in the interest of discharged and
dissatisfied employees. Several months
ago when Garry Bros. discharged clerk
who failed TO perform prescribed duty,
this union" took up his cause, and at
tempted to have him re-instated, but
were informed that the firm meant TO
run their own business" This, with
other firms, have been so annoyed that
measures for protection had to he re-
sorted to, and many threats were sent
in to different dealers, who were harass-
ed by these persons. II is the opinion
of all there that the disaster was the re-
suit Of this agitation, and the people OF
New York city are greatly excited over
it.
Ifthis manner of thing must continue,
very stringent measures will have to be
placed upon the handling of these mod
ern forces, that the whole civilized
world may not be torn up by the fruits
of its own civilization.
