Of course they did not come to the
Sanity City to see the fight, not at all;
some came to attend the races, but
nearly all of them had important bus
mess engagements that had to be filed
Yesterday. Be the facts what they may
as to what brought them here, there
were more statesmen, eX-StateSmen and
prominent business men from all parts
of the state in st. Paul yesterday than
there have been at any one time for these
many weeks. They came from all quar-
tiers, and their animated talks around
the hotel Hobbies made things seem
really lively. There were senators like
Charley Davis, St.Peter, and Frank A.
Day, of FairmOnt, representatives like
Hon. Joseph Roach. of Mortified and
Henry Feig, of AtWateT, and a host Of
others. Postmaster Hunt, of Red Lake
Falls. too, was on hand at the Mer-
chants. and succeeded in demonstrating
to the politicians that while he was a
comparatively new man in Polk county
politics he is is no spring chicken. His
section Of Polk, formerly the Demo
cratic stronghold, he says, is now
strongly Alliance, the voters of both
parties having gone over to the new
party in about the same proportions.
There are indications, according TO MIR.
Hunt, that those formerly Republicans
are seriously thinking OF returning to
the q. D. Z.
Hon. Henry Feig, Kandiyohi's able
and influential Young representative in
the lower house of the late Legislature,
dropped in the city yesterday morning
fg tnnI- ftar SaNrara1 hneinncS rnaffnrC
and spent the afternoon at the Derby
with f. c. Schitmah and party. Being
a farmer, Representative Feig, of
course, cannot help feeling fiTst-Tate
over the crop outlook. The crops of
wheat and other grains IN Kandiyohi
and surrounding counties. he asserts,
will be of superior quality, even il the
yield does not exceed that Of previous
years. Dropping the subject OF agTi-
culture, the kandiyOhl statesman talked
about the prize fight that was to be-.
''Of course | am opposed TO prize
fighting" he said, land so are the peO-
pie of Kandiyohi county. but l can as
sure you that if matters had progressed
so far as they did here we would have
had the fight. However. l don't think
things would have gone so far. No,
sir; | did not come down to see the
fight, although | did reach the city in
time for it had it been allowed to go
on"
Hon. Il. W. Stone, commonly called
Ward" Stone, the handsome cashier of
the Swift County bank. Of Benson, was
prominent figure OH the streets OF the
Sanity City yesterday. Nj. Stone is a
brother of Hon. Lane X. Stone. of this
city, and bears striking resemblance
TO the Ramsey county law maker. and
like the latter, is a thoroughly good
fellow" Ward Stone is one of the
heaviest landowners in the western
section Of the state and is one of the
best posted business men Of that sec
ton. Being one Of the early settlers,
he knows the country in which ne lives
and has faith in it. Some fifteen years
ago he and his brother, Lane K. Stone,
established q store in Chippewa county.
Both were young men, but they
were filled with a determination
to succeed, and they did so.
Their business grew, branch stores
were opened, an elevator was
added, and later a bank. and it was not
long until they were doing more bust
ness than any half dozen houses in that
section of the state. OF course they
made money; they worked for if, and
they deserved the success they won. TO
the new, poor and honest settler they
were especially kind in giving credits.
as Ward Stone is to-day for that matter.
with the result that they were deSerY-
eddy popular everywhere. and aided
greatly il building up the country.
When the boom came in St. Paul few
years ago Hon. Lane K Stone disposed
of his interests out west and became a
real estate boomer in the SANITY City,
in which his previous business training
made him extremely successful. This
left the elder brother alone in the
eountryi where he proposes TO remain.
Hon. J. c. Flynn, the Little Falls
lumberman. was in the city on business
yesterday. but was so busy that he
could not get to the Derby. 81 wanted
TO go very much,' he said, but Just at
present l am attending to business first
and pleasure later, and l have little
time for the latter" In speaking of
the drop in the price of Northern Pa
cific preferred during the past few DAYS,
Mr.. Flynn, who is, 1y the way, one of
the best posted men on that subject in
the state, remarked that he was of the
opinion that it might go lower.
Il understand" he said, that Gould
is hammering Willard. If this is the
case, 1 believe the bottom has not vet
been reached. Gould wants to enter
the territory of the Northern Pacific,
and l do not think he can be kept out"
