GEN. T0URTELLOTTE DEAD.
The True Friend of MankatO Passed
Away at Lacrosse Yesterday

Col. j. E. Tourtellotte died at La
Crosse, Wis. yesterday. His name
will ever be dear to Mankato people,
for the true friendship which he has
ever shown to them. His name will
be handed down to posterity coupled
with the splendid monument which
he has recently erected in this city,
and which illustrates the nobility of
his character as nothing else could.
The beautiful hospital which bears
the name of Tourtellotte, free gift
to the city, symboliZes friendship
which can only be repaid by cherish
ing the memory of the founder as long
as the city stands.
The deceased was a friend of the
poor and afflicted. His gentleness of
character and affability of manner en-
deared him to all. The luster of his
military fame was eXcelled only by the
brightness of his character, and the
spotlessness of his reputation.
Col. TOurtellOtte came to Mankato
in 1857 and opened law office, and in
1858 formed partnership with O. O.
Pitcher, the firm name being Tourtel-
lotte 81 Pitcher. The partnership
continued until the fall of 1861, when
Col. Tourtellotte enlisted in the Union
army and was elected Captain of Co.
Fl, 4th Illinois Vol, and was after
ward made Col. of the regiment. In
that capacity he served till the close
of the war and was hOnOrably dis
charged with the rank Of brevet bri-
gadier-general. He was with Sher-
man in his march to the Sea- and
was wounded in the memorable de-
Tense of Alatonna Pass, and favOrably
mentioned in "Sherman's Memoirs. :"
He returned to MankatO in 1865 and
formed a law partnership with Judge
Waite, continuing with him about
six months. when he received a COM
mission of Captain in the regular ar
nv, and was assigned to the infantry
arm Of service. He was appointed
Commissioner of Indian Affairs in
Utah in 1869, and was afterward trans
ferred to the famous It'll cavalry that
was slaughtered at the Custer mas
sacre. He never joined his regiment
for the reason that he was selected by
Gen'l Sherman as one Of his staff Of
ficers, and he served in that capacity
and till Gen1 Sherman was retired.
Soon afterwards Col. TOurtellOtte was
retired ON account of physical disabil-
ity, which eliminated in his death
Yesterday.
He made La Crosse his temporary
home for about four years. He was
about So years of age.
His remains will be buried in Ar
lington Heights, D. c.. Numerous
personal friends in Mankato will
mourn his death.
Col. Tourtellotte was born in Wind
ham county, Conn.,, and graduated
from Browns University, and from
there he came to this city. He was
unmarried, but had a brother and
other relatives living in La Crosse,
Wis. Among his special services, he
was on commission to revise the
cavalry tactics, and was escort to
Lord Lorne and Princess Louise on
their visit to this country. His
health had been feeble for some years,
and it was his habit not to arise until
about ten o'clock. As he did not
come from his room at that hour yes
terday, the servants went to call him
and found him dead in bed.

BUSINESS BRIEFS.

The Z. G. NJ. l. is again in the front ranks
as it is the first to secure the new and
wonderful invention. Briefly described, it
is the hidden motive power which causes
the ceaseless and noiseless revolution of a
series of circular plush covered platforms
arranged in groups, each platform support
ing articles illustrative OF the varied and
ex ten sive stock carried by the Coop.
One of the peculiarities OF the invention
referred to is the water in which each of
the said platforms float it is easy
enough TO see the water, but not so easy to
discover the force which moves the plat
forms in opposite directions. MIR. S. T..
Culp, the inventor, has patented his device
in the United States aad Europe. The
principal beauty of the invention is that
the work Of thirty seconds will generate
power enough TO keep it going
twenty four hours. The scientific
principle of the invention is so perfectly
applied that fourteen tons can be moved at
the rate of twenty feet minute by one
hair of ones head without breaking the
hair.
The exhibition should not be missed
neither should the fine display of goods on
the invention now to be seen in the win
.dows of the Il. G. M. l. that the invention
is designed TO display.

Annual Meeting.

The annual meeting of the stock
holders of the county fair association,
last Tuesday, was not largely attend
ed, owing mainly to the severity of the
weather. In spite of the reiterated
desire of the officers of the society to
give way to new administration, the
stockholders present insisted on letting
well enough alone, and refused to elect
new officers. The directors elected for
the current year are:
j. Tyson, H. Lance, R. w. Clough,
A. Birum, G. E. Mckay, D. w. Bank
er, o. l.. Dornberg.
The officers will be the same as last
year, providing they all consent to
serve, viz:
President, j. Tyson; vice president,
H. Lance; Treasurer, G. E. Mckay
Secretary, O. L. Dornberg.
Recognizing the indebtedness of the
society to those citizens of this village
who subscribed over $3.50 for race at
fractions, the meeting unanimously
voted a resolution of thanks to the
donors. As will be seen by the trial
balance furnished by Secretary Dorm
berg and printed below, the society
came out of the last fair with a sur
plus nearly equal to the donation re-
ferred to, and after paying for the new
floral hall, now under contract and in
course of erection by R. w. Clough,
that there is a cash balance in the
treasury of 1854. The following is
