The Dry Spell Declared unprecede
Personal Mention


ORANGE PARK, FLA, May 21.-The dry
weather now prevailing here is said to be
unprecedented. An old citizen of Clay
county remarked the other day that never
before had he known watermelon vines 10
die for want of rain. The peaches seem to
be drying up upon the trees, and in some of
the gardens that have had no watering all
berry vines are dying In great many Of
the fields. This little town will soon be
with but few to look after its interest. One
by one they go.
Mr.. Eaton, the head mechanic on the
college building, leaves for his home In the
state Of Maine to-day, and DR.. Hunter ex-
poets to go up to Ohio in few days. Mr..
w. d. Barr the postmaster, has bought the
Brush place. and is having it repaired and
a storehouse added. He will remove the
postoffice there.

The Story of the Rear Guard.

To this day the truth about STAN
ley's.:ill-starred rear guard is mot fully
known. Both sides of the controversy
have been presented-Stanley's a lit
tie weakly-but the public is no wiser
than at first. The friends of Barttelot
and Jameson have had good deal to
say, and their statements have been
of such positive and creditable char
acter as to make them far from easy
to refute. The public, therefore, is
puzzled and at loss to know which
way to decide, the circumstances be-
ing so manifestly peculiar. The pub
lie, however, is positive of one thing,
and that is that The st. Paul & Du-
luth Railroad is the shortest and best
route to take when the tourist desires
to GO from Duluth and West Superior
to ST. Paul and Minneapolis, or rice
uersd. The road-bed is smooth, the
equipment the finest obtainable, the
service most modern, the schedules
conveniently arranged, and the trains
fast. For this reason it is always wise
and profitable to take The Duluth
Short Line, which makes close con-
nections for all points. Information
cheerfully furnished by Geo. W. Bull,
General Passenger Agent, or g. c.

Agent, St. Paul, Mimi.

A SHORT MEETING.

Mayor Pfau presided at Mondays
council meeting, and all of the alder
men were present.
Aid. Pond stated that DR.. Curryel
had stated TO him that the county fail
association, of which he is president,
would probably hold the fair next fall
: in this city, if the fair grounds could
be secured. He moved that the re-
quired permission be granted, and this
was carried.
The name of Rolofson street, in the
fir It ward, which at the last meeting
had been changed from Fulton, was
again changed to Lime street, by reso-
hutton. This was at the request of a
large number of residents.
A liquor license was granted to
Thos. Donahue.
A petition of P. Huettl for permits
sion to make repairs on his building,
at 524 n. Front street, was granted
A number of bills were allowed, and
the council adjourned after a half
hours session.

JOINED FOR LIFE.

A very pleasant wedding occurred
at the residence of DIR. c. f. Warner
at two o'clock Wednesday noon. The
contracting parties were DR.. Thomas
NJ. Marcellus, of Sleepy Eye, and Miss
Ida n. Lee, Of this city. The cere-
mony was performed by Rev. /. l..
Cory, assisted by Rev. F. NJ. Rule, on
~ few relatives and friends being
present. At the conclusion of the
nuptial service, the party was invited
to partake of refreshments.
The bride is a sister of W. E. Lee,
and d niece of the late III. X. Lee.
She has for many years resided in the
city, and has a hOst>of friends, who
have been drawn about her with strong
ties of affection by the beauty of her
character, so well crowned by her
pleasant. ladylike manners.
DR.. Marcellus is physician of much
prominence and holds the highest es-
timation Of the citizens Of his town,
both professionally and as gentle
man. He and his bride left on the af-
ternoon train for Sleepy Eye, where
they will make their future home,
and carried with them the best wishes
of our citizens. DIR. Marcellus was
accompanied by his friend, DR.. James,
of Sleepy Eye.

HE is ELIGIBLE.

The question has been repeatedly
asked as to whether or not r. d.
Hubbard is eligible to the Office of
alderman, being interested in the
Gas and Electric Light Co., with
whom the city has a contract. Sec
tion 13 of chapter of the old and
new charter, touches this question as
follows:
mo officer elected or appointed to
Office under the provisions of this
chapter shall be party TO or interest
ed in any contract in which the city
is interested, made while such officer
is holding office"
Mr.. Hubbard is as clearly eligible to
the Office of alderman as any gentle
man in the community, and being a
thorough business man largely in
interested in the material and
financial welfare of the city is es-
pecially desirable as member
of the council. No sentiment
adverse to placing him on both the Re
publican and Democratic tickets is
expressed, and it is every way likely
that he will have no opposition in the
Fourth ward.

A NOTABLE ENLARGEMENT.

Although not yet established year,
the candy factory of G. A. Everhart &
Co. has for some months been crowd
ed for space in its present quarters.
The business has expanded beyond the
expectations of all, and it now covers
a territory which includes Minnesota,
S. Dakota, Iowa, Wisconsin, and por-
lions of other states. The product
of the factory is surpassed by no other
factory in the country, and where an
order has once been filed others are
sure to follow.
After much negotiation, the long
needed enlargement of the present
factory building, heretofore limited at,
has been arranged for, and as soon as
the weather will permit, the present
size Of the building will be nearly
doubled, by fifty foot addition on
the rear, of the same size and style as
the present building. The additional
space thus secured on the three floors
will admit of the necessary enlarge
ment of the facilities of the firm for
manufacturing candy. The differ
ent departments will be separated,
and the number of employees will be
raised to thirty-five or more, thus
TRIPPING the force. This great increase
will enable Mr.. Everhart to meet the
constantly increasing stream of orders
that is setting in for his product. 1t
was fortunate day for Mankato when
this factory was secured, and all our
citizens will rejoice in its prosperity
which has made the enlargement
necessary. The proprietors are ex-
cellent citizens and the employment
which it affords assists to support
many families.
The enlargement to the building
will be pushed as rapidly as possible,
and it is hoped to have it completed
before July 1st. When finished it
will be veritable beehive of industry,
and the product will sweeten the
country for hundred miles or more
in every direction. Employing some
of the most expert candymakers in
the country, it is no wonder that the
product is sought for with such eager
ness by dealers, who will handle no
other kind.

COUNTY FAIR AT MANKATO.

While in the city recently, DR.. J. c.
Curryer, who is the president of the
Blue Earth County Agricultural So
ciety, stated that the next annual fair
would not be held at Garden City,
and that it would probably be held at
Mankato. The fact that four railroads
connect all parts of the county with
this city is argument enough why the
fair should be held here. To reach
any other town in the county, people
on three of the roads must come to
Mankato first and change cars for the
place holding the fair. Mankato is
able to back up the Society in such a
substantial manner that the insignifi-
can't 1.-TWO for cent" prizes hereto
fore offered will be thing of the past,
and the farmers will have something
offered worth competing for. Besides
large money premiums, large num-
Der of valuable and desirable special
prizes will be offered byou merchants,
which alone will stimulate more COM
petition than the ordinary county fair.
Hitherto the county fair has been
such only in name. Four or five towns
surrounding Garden City have been
almost the sole exhibitors, outside of
Mankato. Nothing better was to be
expected where the facilities for fair
are so inadequate and where the re-
moteness of the place makes it so
difficult to reach. The enterprising
and progressive farmers of all parts of
the county have long seen the desira-
bility of a fair that shall be thorough
ly representative of the resources of
every part of the county, held where
it was possible for a large attendance
to be well cared for. Mankato COM
plies with all these requirements. 1t
is centrally located, will heartily sup
port the fair, has splendid grounds
which were Monday night placed at the
disposal of the Society by the council,
and can care for crowd Of any di-
mansions.
Let everyone in the county, who has
the best interests of the farming in
dustry at heart, assist in making the
next county fair, to be held in Man
kato. a grand success. 1t is not too
early to begin to prepare the exhibits.
The Agricultural Society will never
regret it's move.

STILL HOPE.

A few days ago the chances for
Lentz receiving communication of SEN
tence TO life Imprisonment were very
dark. In fact it may be said that
they were about as one to one hun
dred. But counsel for the condemned
man are more hopeful. Strong pres
sure has been brought to bear on the
Governor and matters have been pre-
sented to him for consideration which
are said to have impressed him forcib-
ly with the thought that there may
be grave doubt of Lentz's guilt.
The governor may be depended on
to exercise clemency if in his judg-
ment there shall be reasonable
grounds for such. He is not obdurate
nor unfeeling. And while he has a
strongly sympathetic nature he will
decline to interfere with the eXecu-
ton of sentence unless conclusive
evidence is presented to his mind that
the motive for suicide was as likely
on the part of Schwartz as the motive
for murder on the part of LentZ.
This theory is held by many well
informed as to all the details of
the case, and even the Judge is strong
ly of the opinion that the circum-
stances are such as to afford the gov
ernor the best of reasons for showing
the condemned man mercy.
Lentz need not yet dispair. The
chances for executive clemency are
growing brighter.
