The Park Region Metropolis.

Tie TIMES family paid avisit to
Fergus Falls, Saturday last and
there, was driven about the city
and shown the sights. Fergus Falls
is Il pretty little city Of 1000 people,
and in driving over the same it was
a pleasure to note innumerable and
handsome residences with their neat
and very tasty yards and lawns, be-
meath, beautiful and largely natu-
raj shade trees. 1t was noted too,
that the streets which are naturally
gravelly and meyer muddy, are be-
ing nicely graded up and improved
by the hauling in of additional
gravel. And again, that the accu-
mutations of dead grass and refuse
along the streets and sidewalks was
being cleaned up. with scrupulous
neatness and carted away, convert
ing this bright little city into
veritable garden of shady lawns and
sylvan nooks,--coursed by beauti-
full drivcs--such as should, ideally,
characterize the metropolis of the
famous Park Region. And a Sfea-'
'turc which adds lustre to Fergus, is
the location and erection of addi-
tional insane asylum institutions
for Minnesota, calculated to run up
into hundreds Of thousands of dol
lars, two of the proposed group of
six immense edilices being just
about completed of cream colored
brick. on high land in the northerly
suburbs of the city, to which
grounds or institution has been
opened Broadway, forming an i'm
portant thoroughfare Of the city.
And then there are few fine brick
blocks going up on Lincoln avenue.
which promises to add materially to
the commercial intesests of the city.
And the foIlo<lhg day, even
though it was the Lords day, our
hospitable friends drove us to that
memorable land mark, Elizabeth,
eight miles north Of Fergus, where
the party visited with Mr.. and Mrs.
Peter Maurin and their superb
family Of daughters. Peter Maurin,
yS,7everybody knows him, the pio-
neer citizen and now commercial
prince of this upper country. Here
Il where one may enjoy an hours
recreation; here is an ideal home and
family of musicians The zithern
and guitar, beautiful beyond meas
ure, rivaling the Spanish trouba-
dours. And then there was the
piano, upon which were performed
brilliant classics and duets. Such a
happy home, such girls and such
music one does not meet every day.
Soon it was supper time and the
large party was ushered into the
dining room, ard found here a fea-
ture in keeping with surroundings
mentioned, where the inner man
was supplied, which completed, the
party soon pulled out for Fergus,
leaving its benefactors with tue
most hearty good byes. Al

AMONG THE CANNIBALs.
A Curious Race of Eaters
How Savages Fight For
Wives.
[San Francisco Examiners


Wives.
[San Francisco Examiner
Prof. Carl Lumholtz, the Norwe.
gian anthropologist, appeared recent
" beforte the Geographical Society
or San Francisco to relate his exper-
fences while soj1urning among the
cannibals OF Australia. The Profess
sor is a ready speaker, and his easy
manner and bright delivery proved
very pleasant to his hearers
After telling bis audience Of the
purpose Of his visit to the Australian
continent, the spe ,ker went on to
discuss the peculiarities ofthe savage
race Of people among whom he J we'd
for some time. He described III a
graphic way the manners and GUS
toms Of the savags s, and told of his
con,taat vigilance and Of the perils
to which he was subjected.
Prf. Lumhol'z displayed happy
faculty Tor describion the things he
saw in quaint and at times humor-
on, way th Il won his auditors cons
plrtely, and several times his dis
course vas lnterrudted BY appl use.
One point on which The speaker
dwe't was the excellent health enjoy.
ed by the savages. and this he ass
cribed to their aboriginal costume,
which consisted Of a "mere nothing
in the way OF drapery. He declared
that as soon as the cannibals became
partially civilized aad and assumed
the dress Of the white men they con
tracted all sorts Of pulmonary diseas-
es.
Or the social condition of the tribe:
the professor spoke at considerable
length, and created no little amu,e
ment by bis description of the man
| ner in which the men secured theil
wives, sometimes 10 the number o
hall dozen One of the most inter,
esting features Of the lecture was th'
description Of the duels which Al,
fought BY the men for the possessscr
of the most attractive and most coyet
ed Of the women.
i In discussin thu canDibalistlc PEI
culisrities Of this strang PORT. Lum
holtz drew such q vivid picture o
