THE CHANCE OF THE YEAR.
Everybody Should Visit the Twin
Cities during the State Fair.

The Thirtieth State Fair OF Minnesota begins
September 10th, and closes September 18th. II
will be the greatest exhibition ever made in
the State, and as a means of education it viii
be worth u visit. Secretary Denny has been
working like a beaver since his appointment
last winter, and o has the satisfaction OF
knowing that he will be able to present TO the
people of the State a model far in every re-
spect. He has been aided In every possible
manner by President Merriam. the board OF
managers and the superintendent of the va.
taken a greater personal interest in the fair
this year than has ever been shown before.
There is a good natured rivalry between the
heads of the various departments in the mat.
ter of making the best exhibits, and the result
will be q stupendous aggregation of livestock
dairy and agricultural products, arts and me.
chanics. The big barns will not be large
enough to hold the cattle and horses, and the
managers are p~erplexed as to what will be
done with the overflow. Some of the finest
livestock, in both horses and cattle, that ave
shown this year. Over 600 horses will be In
the barns, and twenty-five per cent. more cat.
tie than were ever before exhibited at a Min
nesota fair. The country exhibits of ~agricul-
turaI products promises to be one of the great.
est features. Supt Bushnell, of the machinery
department. says he will have the greatest
show ever seen I'm Minnesota. The managers
have provided in addition to the regular exhib.
its two great attractions which cannot fail to
please everybody. One is the balloon ascen-
SION and drop by parachute by Prof. J. W:
Price and Mile Viola. Two ascensions will
be made during the week, one of them by Miss
Viola. She will ascend in the balloon to the
height Of five thousand feet and then let her
self loose and descend. clinging by her hands
to the hoops of the parachute. 1t will be one
of the most thrilling sights ever witnessed, as
none before have ever attempted to Ia this
descent. The great sham battle promises to
surpass the exhibition of last year. The mill
tary at Fort Smelling, together with the Artil-
lery Corps which will give a magnificent bat
terry, there will be the three crack regiments of
Minnesota; the Hibernian Rifles and the Sons
of Veterans and many other military organic
atoms of the State will take part in the battle.
Gen. Ruger, and the officers of his staff. with
the Governor and his staff, and other celebri.
ties, will review the troops just before the bat
tie.
The railroads have made the very low rate of
one fare for the round trip during the Fair
the twin cities and enjoy the great carnival of
fun which will run there during that week
cannot afford to miss this opportunity.

THE VERDICT

1t pleases the lawyer, and his client
too, to have the verdict of the jury unan-
imous, for it is good for nothing unless
all the twelve men, good and true,"
join in it. Agreat jury, composed of the
American travelling public, has rendered
a unanimous verdict on 1.-THE Burling-
ton" as a railroad, agreeing that its prom
ises of fast time, sure connections, and
first-class accommodations are always
carried out to the letter. This pleasant
verdict has not been obtained without
great pains taken to build the best kind
of a road, equip it in an elegant manner,
secure competent and polite employees,
and run it in "a / STYLE" Try buying
tickets over s'The Burlington" for your
next journey, and you will belong to the
''unanimous" aver after. For further
information apply to your local ticket
agent, or write to w. j. G. KENYON, Gen.

NO ENDORSEMENT.

After the action of the X. of l.. last
winter in passing resolutions on the ac-
tons of Gov McGill in signing house
file l57, it would look to a disinterested
observer like sheer inconsistency to en-
dorse him for a denomination for his
present position. and more especially as
a large proportion of the X. of l.. in this
city have always supported the Demo-
cratic ticket. 1t is evident that there is
an influence at work which if persisted
in will tend to the disruption of the as

In your issue of the 10th inst. you
published an item to the effect that J
am a candidate for legislative honors.
wish to have it understood that | an
not a candidate for that, as there are
others more worthy of the position al
present. If my friends see fit, sometime
in the future ] might accept, but we
have other good timber for that position
in our district and / shall be in their
favor. But | wish il to be known that ]
am a candidate for County Commissioner
in the third district. Although some
would be glad to see me out of the race,
l believe | have enough friends to sup
port me, without begging for help.
About the race for Governor, | think
that there are some false friends of Nc
Gill, who pretend to work for him, but
are in love for him only for the sake of
what they get from his executive posi-
ton. l hope some mar will get il that
will win in November. That is the wish
of H. j. ROBERTS.
