BROWN COUNTY FAIR.
The Finest Exhibit Ever Made Under Til
Auspices Of the Brown County Agri-
cultural Society,
Charley Heidenan May Consider Him
self Endorsed.

The sixteenth annual fair of the
Brown County Agricultural society
opened in this city last Monday and
closes this evening. For months Mr..
c. W. H. Heideman, the energetic
treasurer of the society, has labored to
make this fair the best ever held under
the auspices of the society, and it is
very gratifying to us, as it must be to
all the friends of the society, to say
that Mr. Heideman has not labored in
vain. Mr.. Heideman was ably second
ed in all his undertakings by the presi-
dent, Mr.. Runk, and the secretary, Mr..
Juni, but it is fact not gainsaid by
anyone that to Mr.. Heideman alone be-
longs the credit of inducing exhibits
from abroad. Not only that, but
through his untiring exertions at home
our me rchants, manufacturers and pro-
ducers have been brought to realiza-
ton of the Importance of these annual
exhibits, and to-day the people of Brown
and adjoining counties are invited to
visit one of the best agricultural and
industrial county fairs ever held in
Minnesota. The exh ibits in all the de-
partments are full and complete and
the several committees have been at
their wits ends to find space for all the
exhibitors. Especially is this the case
in the mercantile department.
In this department Mr.. Loheyde has
an elegant stand in the main hall and
the assortment of fine shoes and boots
here will compare favorably with any
thing of the kind shown at the State
Fair. The stand itself is fine piece
of workmanship and a credit to the
protector, Mr.. Robert Loheyde. Mr..
Theo. Crone makes an elegant display
Of readymade clothing and gents fur
nishing goods. Messrs. Behnke & Co.
have very artistically arranged large
line of dress goods. They also have on
exhibition two show cases of fine gents
furnishing goods, laces, ribbons, etc.

full lines OF their popular brands of CT
CARS. The latter has a very artistically
arranged exhibit. Mrs. Gliding has a
very nice display Of millinery goods.
Wd. Elmer shows case OF fine can
dies, fruits and ornaments. Chas. L.
Roos has two cases of birth day cards
and druggists sundries. Chas.

work by him performed on a small
printing press, which is also on exhibit
ton. All the New Ulm and the Spring
field mills make exhibits of their re-
spective manufactures of flour. Aug,
Preuss has on exhibition a large tooth
some display Of cakes, bread, etc., also
a huge loave of bread of artistic work
manship. The New Ulm school exhib-
it is really very fine and hours could be
spent in examining this exhibit. A
few country schools are also represent
ed in the educational department., and
what is shown is commendable. but too
few schools are represented. The geo.
logical display is the finest we have ev-
er seen in this State. The principal
exhibitors are Robt. Nix, Aug. Brandt
and G. W. H. Heideman. Mr.. Nix al
so has y very fine botanical exhibit.

est display of fours and plants. Mrs.

work is quite large, in fact too numer-
Gus for specification. Pahl''s meer-
schaum pipes and clgarholders-2 in
number ARE there as also is Horace
Newhart's alligator.
The exhibit of fruits. vegetables.
wheat, corn ETC., is fully up to that of
former years, and in several things
even larger. AS usual, Capt. George
carries of the honors for exhibiting the
largest assortment of farm products.

sweet potatoes of his own raising. P.
