The case OF the lien holders against the
Duluth, Huron and Denver railroad will
come up for trial in st. Cloud on Friday
of this week. The case has more than
passing interest to onr people, for it
shows pretty conclusiveiy that the pro-
ject is not dead, and that it is still cons
sidered worth fighting for or over. Both
sides to the controversy declare that as
soon rs the case is ended the road will be
built, and that all the controversy in
wolves is the question of which party
shall push the matter to conclusion. II
such be the case this city may yet realize
something Of the advantages promised
when the project was alive. We await
results with lively interest.

THE Alexandria Sentinel has the fol-
lowing item commenting s.,on the Doug
las county fair, and il 1t is not the kind
of faint praise which damns-what is 1t!
The base ball games bet ween the Sank
Centre and Alexandria clubs excited con.
siderable interest The Thursday game
resulted in a victory sar Alexandria by a
score of to g. The game Friday re-
suited in Alexandria's deteat, by score
of 10 to II in favor Of ssnk Centre.
Some OF the Alexandria boys lost the,F
heads and played horrible game; other
wise, in spite of the Sank Centre, they
would have won the game. Both clabs
are made up of good players. Take the
whole fair it was above the average this
wear; but it might have been better had
tho whole management taken the inter-
est i'm il chat the secretary did. The
party he re.:ed rvon most to assist him
proved to be of no use at all, only to
dictate and say how things ought to
have been. The directors viii DO well to
use a little more discretion In selecting
their president another year, if they wish
to make the next fair a success. 1t needs
a worker, not a figure head.

association has made arrangements to
have tine Swedish Ladies Concert COM
pany appear in this city on November
4th. They are winning golden opinions
wherever they appear, as note the recent
press notices:
Last eveningthe Belleville public was
again entranced by the beautiful and
melodious singing Of the Swedish Ladies
Quartette. Such bewitching harmony,
perfect phrasing is hard to imagine.
There is not weak spot in the whole
company, each lady possesses voice OF
wonderful timbre and range, and under
perfect cultivation. That prince of hui
morists, Melvin R. Day, is still with the
ladies, and as last season. carried every
thing before him. We trust Belleville
will again have the pleasure of listening
to this grand aggregation of artists

THURSDAY, OCTOBER Is. 1891.
LIVELY CAMPAIGNS.

The political campaigns in Ohio and
New York are at white heat, and both
parties are strai,iug every nerve to win,
recognizing the fact that the battle,
though for state officers only, is preiim-
inary to the national election in 1892.
In Ohio the indications point strongly to
the election of Major Mckinley upon
the issues of protection and free coinage
of silver. The Major is the impersona-
ton OF protective tariff policy. and Gov
ernor Campbell is attempting to force
the fight upon that sole issue, and has
been betrayed into several very indis-
Greet expressions which are little short
Of absolute free trade. Mckinley holds
stubbornly to the doctrine that protec-
ton of American industry by means of a
wise tariff schedule requires no defense,
and therefore has no apologies to offer.
The democratic platform of Ohio de-
clared unquivocally for free coinage of
silver. but Gov. Campbell is forced upon
a platform which he never has subscribed
to, he having repeatedly voted in con-
gress against it. The two candidates
met in joint debate at Ada, Ohio, on
Thursday last, and addressed monster
meeting. Prominent among the features
of the meeting were horns made from
American tin, and tin badges bearing
likeness of Mckinley. On the other hand
the democrats had badges quoting the
decline in the price OF wool under the Nc
Kinley bill. In the debate the sympa-
tilies of the crowd were clearly with Nc
Kinley, although ovations were rendered
both.
In New York city mass meeting was
held, addressed by Ex-president Cleve-
land and Governor Hill-both candidates
for nomination for president in 1892.
The former occupied most Of his time in
denouncing the republican party, and
the latter in defining his own views
against free coinage, and personal ar
raignment of Senator Fassett, the re-
publican candidate for governor. 1t is
not probable, although possible, that
the republicans can wrest New York
from the democrats, as there is not the
best of feeling between the two wings Of
the party in the city of New York. Tam
ming dictated the state ticket, and the
County" wing was faced about and told
to march. If this treatment be resented
at the polls it is possible to elect Fassett.
But New York political history teaches
that democratic division rarely reaches
the polls. -..-
More than usual interest will attach
to the returns from these two great
states.

Harvest Home.

The Congregational church of this city
devoted last Sunday to thanksgiving
services for the bountiful returns of the
iabors of the husbandmen for the season
just closing. The church, was decorated
deliberately and tastefully for the occasion
with a profusion oil the fruits of the earth,
wheat, corn, and vegetables forming a
CONSPICUOUS part of the decoration. A
special musical program had been pre-
pared, consisting of a number of an
thems, meters, etc, accompanied by an
orchestra of Ave pieces. The MUSIC was
really fne-Mr. Blodgett preached an
excellent sermon appropriate to tine ~ CO
casion, and taken all in all, it was a de-
lightful and opportune service.
In the evening the young people of the
church held a meeting along the same
lines, which was also very much enjoyed.
The house was crowded on both occa-
sions.

CITY council.

The council met on Friday evening
pursuant to adjournment with all the
members present. The matter of the
petition for change of road on the
school section, to which reference has
been made, was considered at length and
was referred to the city attorney for re-
port at the next meeting whether the
city was under obligations to make the
change.
Charles H. Jenkins and wife made APP
plication for relief, and the matter was
referle ed to the poor committee with in
structions to inform them that the couri-
Gil was not inclined to grant relief SO
long as they own three or more acres OF
land within the city, which they could
sell.
The complaint against the chief OF po-
ice was referred to the city a-torney to
take such action as he deemed proper.
The license committee was authorized
to lease the hall to the Bryant Literary
Association for Nov. 4th for half price,
for the Swedish Ladies Quartette.
The finance committee reported in
favor of paying in full the claims OF Hen
nv Marie for $3.50 and of the Keller
Mfg. Co. $5O.O1; also to pay the Keller
Mfg. Co. it's bill of $99.41 for street
lights, less the amount to be deducted
for lights not running, as reported by
chief of police.

what the Minnesota state Author.

Ifthere is a doubt in anybody's mind
as to the quality Of the garioHs baking
powders of che market, it will be settled
by the evidence given upon the subject
by the State officials of Minnesota. The
Dairy and Food Commission and the State
Chemist are the highest official author
tiles upon such subjects in this State, and
their eyidsnce will be accepted as disin-
terested and unpreiudiced. It is their
business to examine the quality of the
different food products. and to suppress
the sale of those found impure and un.
wholesome, and all will admit that they
have performed their duties without
fear or favor.

DIR. BENJAMIN F. Drew, gave the follow
ing evidence:
Ques.-Dr. Drew, l see by the report of
the Dairy and Food Commission of this
State that in making analysis of the
various baking powders of this country
you report as result of your work that
the Royal Baking Powder contains and
gives off in baking greater per cent of
carbonic acid gas (leayening gas) than
any other baking powder made; is that
true?
Ans.-Yes, sir, that is fact.
Ques.-Doctor, you also found from
experiment that the Royal Baking
Powder will keep longer and retain its
qualities better than any other powder
made, did you not?
Ans.-Yes. sir, think it does.
Ques.-Now, the two most desirable
qualities in baking powder are the
amount of carbonic acid gas it contains
and gives off and the length of time it
will keep. are they not?
Ans.-Yes, sir.
Ques--Then the Royal Baking Powder
possessing these qualities, is the best !
powder made, is it not?
Ans.-Well. that would be the natural
conclusion.
Ques.-Well. that is the fact, is it not?
Ans.-Yes, / think it is. consider il
one OF the best baking powders made,

THE nomination of Knute Nelson for
governor ofMinnesota willcome nearer
being in unanimous accord with party
sentiment than any since second term
was rendered Gov. Pillsbury. Thathe will
be willing to accept the honor is not so
certain as that it will be rendered him.
The demands from no locality and from
no faction or wing-it is universal. The
leaders of the party both urban and
rural agree that he would make an ideal
candidate and a model governor.
