When the Exposition opens August
26tb, among the many attractions which
will be presented for the delectation of
the public. will be a representation of a
linen mill in full operation. The mill
will show the process of manufacturing
different kinds Of linea such as were,
only fow years ago, made only in the
old country. There are only few per-
sons who know that linen is made in
the city of Minneapolis. The mill has
been in operation only few months
and the management is glad of the op-
portunity of showing the people how
the new industry is carried on. The
mill will be kept running several hours
each day, SO that everyone can have the
opportunity of seeing how it works
The linen mill management will have
competent attendants at their exhibit
to instruct the farming community how
to prepare their flax fibre.

About 1890 Wednesday morning the
two laborers employed in the new sewer
on Monroe street, near Fifth avenue
northeast, were injured by blast which
hung fire and was supposed to be no
good. Two blasts were lit, one went off
but the other did not. e. Pearson and
P. Larson went up to the place supp0s-
ing that the blast had gone out. Sud-
denly there was an explosion and the
two men were cripples, the flying rocks
crushing their legs. The patrol wagon
was called in hurry. On Larson's ar
rival at the hospital it was found that
his legs did not require amputation and
they were set and put in plaster. The
cut in the head was simply scalp
wound. He will most likely recover
Persons case is more serious. His
right leg was so badly crushed that an
amputation was found necessary. Sew
eral pieces of bone were taken from his
right arm. Besides these severe injuries
he had some bad bruises on his back.
The physician in charge of the hospital
expects HIM to pull thro ugh, however,
