best and largest political meetings held
in st. Peter for years.
MIR. G. c. Wagner, a travelling sales
man for Chicago house, was exhibiting
at Patterson d Halfhill's on Saturday a
souvenir of the Harrison campaign OF
1910, which the gentleman is warranted
in pricing highly. 1t is one of the origi-
nal invitations to the Harrison inaugura-
ton ball held at the White House on
the evening of March 4th, 1S4l. The in
vitation was issued to Mr.. WIS father,
Hon. Peter j. Wagner, now deceased,
but who at that time represented in con-
gress one of the New York districts. The
invitation Is very tasty in design, though
not as elaborate as is the fashion in these
DAYS. 1t contains the names of the va
rlous committees, and among them are
those of many men who were at that
time or have become since prominent
in the affairs Of the nation. From con-
gress the names of Henry Clay, and Dan
lei Webster head the list. The modest
little folder Is momento of stirring
times in the nations history, and Is an
curiosity in these days when
those events seem almost a part of an
Gent history.

SISTERS IN INIOUITY.

Under the above caption the following
appeared in Mondays Pioneer Press I'M
der the head of Minneapolis news:
The two young German girls who were ar
rested for shop-lifting Saturday night felt ter
rible over the disgrace yesterday and wept
bitterly. When arrested they gave the names
OF Cora and Mary Schultz, but yesterday they
said their names were Lehman, and that
their father was well-to-do farmer living

admit having stolen goods from Goodfellow's
and other places, and seem to have made a
speciality of cloaks, which they sold. The
woman from whom they have rented a room
on Second avenue south called at the central
station, and expressed her great surprise when
she learned what they had done. The prison
ers say they are going to make a full confess
ion, and hope to be forgiven.

TRIED TO SAW OUT OF JAIL.

The prisoners at the county jail made
an attempt to saw their way out Fri
day. They had in some way secured
two case knives and a chisel, and by
nicking the edges of the former, made
fair saws. While one sang and made
Rome howl, the other would saw. They
had been permitted to get into the wo-
mans corridor, and>they thought that il
they could get into one of the cages they
could get out of hole that had been
previously made through the ceiling in.
to the court room above. Even had
they succeeded in getting into the cage
it would probably have been impossible
to have made their escape. They were
discovered while saving the paddock of
of the cage door. Saturday the knives
were secured. The two young men who
are in Jail are pretty slick characters
and ready for any deviltry.

John b Hodapp, OF this city, has
been granted patent Oh his can-filling
machine. THIS machine ne has had an
successful operation for some time at his
cannery across the river. From its sue
cess here and at other places, and the
interest shown in il by Eastern Gamers,
it is probable that Mr.. Hodapp will make
a good thing out of his invention.
Quite extensive road improvements
are being made IN some portions of
Mankato township. What is known as
the Pohl road is receiving coat of gray
ell for long distance. This will event
ually make the road one of the best TO
be found in the county. If any one
thing is needed in the county il is the
improvement of the roads, carried out
on an intelligent plan. Money so spent
is well invested.
During last night Adam Jefferson's
new city well suddenly filled up from

There is general feeling among Re-
publicans in tins city that next Tuesday
will witness great national and state
victory for their party. As election time
draws nearer their convictions become
more confirmed. The only one of the
doubtful states which the Republicans
have any fears about is New Jersey.
There is general feeling that Minneso-
Ia will give Harrison and Morton $4,000
to $1,000 plurality and Merriam 10000 to
5000. The Prohibition vote will not
reach $1,000. Lind's plurality will not
fall below that of two years ago. The
Democrats have lost hope, unless it be
on general results. They concede Mer-
RAMS election by 1900 to $1,000 plural
ity, and Lind's election by 5000 to 5000
plurality. They also concede Connecti-
cut and consider Indiana very doubtful.
They feel sure of New Jersey, and claim
New York. Even this is encouraging,
for Harrison needs only Indiana and
Connecticut TO be elected. No well
posted Democrat claims any other North |
ern state. Considerable betting is going |
on, but only for small amounts thus far, |
and usually even.

GOOD THUNDER FAILURE.
A. r. WendIandt, Hardware Dealer.
Goes Under.

The stock of August F. Wendlandt, OF
Good Thunder, dealer in hardware and
farm machinery, was attached Wednes-
day and again Thursday on small claims.
Friday an assignment was made to
Lysander Cook, of that place, and he
has since qualified and entered upon
his duties. Mr.. Wendlandt estimates
his liabilities at ST., 800 and his assets at
$4,000. The attorney for the creditors,
Thos. Hughes, however, estimates the
liabilities at $500 and assets at $40, 900
to S12, 200. The assets are composed of
the stock, book accounts and notes. Mr..
Wendlandt attributes his failure to poor
collections. The principal creditors are
Farwell, Osmun, Kirk & Co., st. Paul,
$1,000; Deering & Co., Chicago, s., 800;
Daniel Bradley & Co, Minneapolis,
81 500; and other st. Paul and Minneap-
oils firms for smaller amounts. Several
Mankato hardware and machine dealers
are caught for small amounts. The
amount of the attachments, four IN num-
Der, is less than 81 900. Mr.. Wendlandt
recently sold his Made liza store. Messrs.
Freeman & Pau and A. +. Halves
are his ATTORNEYS.

SALE OF STATE LANDS.

The annual sale of state lands occurred

sold. The following pieces were sold:
so acres in Mapleton to Chas. Klein; 40
acres in Mapleton to Robt. Little; Al
acres in Ceresco to Ashley Harris; and
40 acres in Lincoln to Andrew Carlson.
Each forty acres sold for $3.50, the APP

A CARD TO THE PUBLIC.

l am told that some of the hardware
dealers in Mankato are selling their Oak
stoves on the reputation of the Round
Oak, telling their customers they are the
Round Oak and when they are de-
tected they get out of it by saying they
are the same thing as the Round Oak.
Do not be deceived by such talk, bat
while you are about it why not get the
genuine Round Oak and then you are
sure of good stove. / have full stock
of all sizes of the Round Oak and they
are as cheap as other poorer stoves.
Dealers who will deceive you about the
name of their stoves will deceive you
about other things. Beware of them.
