MARSHALL COUNTY ELECTION.

The Contest on Tuesday One OF the Most
Interesting on Record. Ez1
In Marshall county the school cleo
ton on Tuesday was one OF the most in
teresting ever had in this county. The
Alliance is q new factor in Marshall
county politics, and its strength was
generally underestimated by both the
Republican and Democratic leaders, and
both parties put forth every effort, the
Republicans, to maintain the majority
for which the county has been SO long
noted, and the Democrats to slip in on
a hoped-for division in the Republican
ranks by reason OF the Alliance factor.
But the Alliance, while it is Of but
recent organization in this county, had
the lines we'll in hand and knew their
strength almost to man. The different
lodges are well organized, and the sys-
tematic manner which their members
operated won them the day. While the
Republicans find themselves slightly
disligured, the Democrats smile broadly
and pray there may be more Republican
Alliance men in '92.
The vote resulted as follows: At Dor.

his services altogether. Bismarck is

this is attributed to the prohibition

gins to look that way, judging from the

TRAVELLED 10000 MILES.
The European Worlds Fair Com
miSsioners Return.

mlSS1onerS Return.
CHICAGO, Sept. 1S.-After travelling
something over 10000 miles Chicago's
European commission of the worlds
fair officials arrived in the city this aft
ernoon on the Baltimore q Ohio road,
accompanied by Sir Henry f. Wood,
sec etary of the royal English commits
sion, and James Dredge, of the British
commission. A reception committee,
consisting Of President Baker, of the
local directory; Director General Davis.
and Directors Scott, KholSatt, Wacker,
Bryan and Waller, went out on Spe-
cial and met the party at Miller
junction. The incoming train was two
hours late, and when it reached the
junction the travellers were quickly
transferred to the special, which made
the run OF thlrty-SiX miles in as many
minutes, including slow time inside the
city limits. The weather was very warm
and the travellers were tired out. They
were quickly driven to the Auditorium
hotel and repaired TO their apartments,
where they rested several hours. This
evening Director +. w. Peck enter
tanned them at dinner. The foreigners
express themselves as we'll satisfied with
the reception extended to them in this
country. Mr.. Dredge said that it was
far more than they had expected, and
that nothing had been omitted
that would have added in the
least to their comfort. The object
of the visit of these gentlemen to
Chicago is to inform themselves Oh all
the details of the exposition of interest
to exhibitors, and to report back what
they found. They will hold conferences
every day with the exposition officials,
visit jackson park and receive a theo-
retical and practical knowledge of all
that has occurred or is to occur in build
ing the exposition. They will be joined
in their conferences by the French con-
sui, who will conduct the French inter-
ests until the regular commissioner is
| appointed. The Russian commissioner
| is already appointed and expected to
sail with the rest of the party, but could
not complete his arrangements. He
will come to Chicago in January with
with the AustrO-Hungarian representa-
| tive. 1t is the intention Of the foreign
commissioners to remain in the city ten
days or two weeks. During that time
they will be the guests of the exposi-
ton officials. who will entertain tn EN-
in all possible ways.
