The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1889-06-27

evening last was very pleasant-one of
the most successful amateur efforts ever
esseyed in this city. The opening-the
industrial parade was particularly en-
| pertaining and unique. Twenty-eight
young ladies in suggestive costumes each
carrying an appropriate banner, under
command of Gen. Catterson, went
| through all the evolutions of marching,
wheeling, ETC., of experienced and we'll
drilled soldiers. With their bright cos
tones and pretty banners they presented
a dazzling appearance, and were heartily
applauded for their proficiency. Wheel
t is considered that there have been only
a half-dozen rehearsals Or drills, the la
dies acquitted themselves admirably.
| Great credit is due them for the pains
| and patience expended, not only in drill
ing, but in the pretty costumes. The
banners were principally gotten up by
| the business houses represented. Not
only were banners constructed to adver-
| tisc the business in an attractive style,
| but the costumes were gotten up with
reference to the same idea. A %profusion
ofjewelry and silver-ware was displayed
on the dresses of those advertising the
jewelry firms, while the grocery houses
were represented by ladies festooned
with good things to eat, and the young
| lady representing the HERALD had a O S
tune in which the paper figured conspic-
uously. The following is the complete
| list of the ladies and the firms represent

The General has the reputation of never
having firched in the face of a drilled
battalion before, but he wasnot prepared
for the attack, and with a cordial thank
you"," and an apology for inability to
give adequate expression OF his feelings,
he dismissed the parade. This part of
the program was followed with musical
selections by the band, several vocal
numbers by Miss Bruce, Mrs. Robertson,
Nessrs. Wilkins and Harrison, and sew
era1 Rotations. Miss Eta Lewis gave a
humorous recitation with effect, while
Will Nesbit of Minneapolis and Charlie
Bronson of this city entertained the au-
dicnce with readings-all very we'll rem
dered indeed. The pigs in clover" puz-
zle was enacted with real live pigs on the
stage, and the united efforts of an Irish
man and a Dutcllman succeeded in
getting them into the pen. 1t was a
very %laughable performance and was
heartily enjoyed. Refreshments were
served, and the entertainment was pro-
nounced a marked success by all. 1t net
ted about seventy dollars.

THE MILL.-There has been some very
valuable work done recently On the dam.
several leaks having been effectually
stopped, and O it is in very good or
der indeed, wastage having been reduced
to the minimum. The fume will be en-
larged considerable, giving a better flow
of water to the wheel, increasing its eff
cheney. Inside the mill several changes
are. contemplated, the most important
being a wheat-cleaning machine. When
wheat is received from the farmer it will
be cleanedin plain sight, and he will re.
ceive the refuse or screenings, if he wants
it, and there can be no controversy over
the amount of dockage. Exact justice is
done both buyer and seller.
DR.. Dubois, the new manager, has TAX
IN hold of the business with intelligent
zeal, and is pushing the business with en-
ergy. He has just received an order for
a car load of -four from appointment rail-
road contractor, which was shipped on
Monday.
