More Cholera

There is general impression that
this country is not to escape with the
few cases of cholera which were
quarantined or developed sporadically.
Authorities unite in saying that the
germs of the plague have been i'm
planted and the spring opening will
witness another breaking out of a
more serious character and harder to
cope with. There is little chance,
howver, that the scourge will obtain a
foothold in the Northwest. The
country through which the Saint Paul
& Duluth Railroad runs is famed as
one of the healthiest in the world
and as affording no Judgment for di-
lease. The Saint Paul & Duluth
Railroad, by the way, is known every
where as the Duluth Short Line and as
such enjoys great popularity with all
classes. 1t makes specialties OF fast
trains, convenient schedules, close
connections and handsome modern
terminals, all of which appeal force
fully to those who travel between ST.
Paul, Minneapolis, Saltwater, Duluth
and West Superior, to all of which
points it is the favOrite route. Infor-

THE LAKE CRYSTAL BARBECUE.

Democrats who were at Lake Crys-
tai Monday say that the village was
crowded with people who came to at
tend the barbecue. A special train of
three coaches went from this city,
and 1877 tickets were sold at the depot.
The Concordia baud accompanied the
boys.
A torch light procession was held,
participated in by large number of
people. This was followed by the bar
beque, when a roasted OK was cut up
and distributed among the hungry
crowd. 1t failed to go around and
other eatables were supplied. The
OK is said to have been we'll cooked, by
those who had a piece of it. A large
out of door platform was erected for
the occasion and platters with four
pieces of meat on each were passed
around.
There were no speeches and one OF
the coaches returned home attached
to the 100 accommodation, and the
other two attached to the 11:45
freight.

turns southwark, about so rods east of
E. j. Boys, man appeared suddenly
from the roadside and wanted Mr..

horses by the bits, and afterwards the

K. has succeeded in getting away from
the wouldbe robber at this point, the
same thing was repeated on the road
running south, near the Coffin place,
showing that the intended robbery
was premeditated by at least two
men, that if they failed in one place
they might succeed in another. That
Mr.. and Mrs. Keltgen arrived home
safely affords their countless number
of friends much joy; and their escape
is partly attributab BILE to the fact that
Mrs. Keltgen used whip freely in the
face and eyes Of the Williams who at

of here is much excited over the af-
fair, and woe to the rascals if they are
caught.

Theodore Williams received word
Tuesday morning of the death of his
brother in-law, E. Ware Boyd, at Col
ton, California, which occurred last
evening. He had been sick for the
past two years and gradually sank un-
til his case became hopeless. Two
months ago he went to California, ac-
companied by his wife, aud tried the
mountain air of Banning, but was not
benefited, and few days ago went to
Cotton where he died. Mrs. B. Tuttle,
who started for the west week ago.
had just arrived at Cotton at the
time.
Mr.. Boyd was about IS years of age
and was an excellent young man in
every respect. He had many friends
in this city who will hear of his death
with sorrow. The afflicted widow will
also be consoled in her grief by the re-
Election that many mpathizing
frien dis will welcome her back to Man
kato after she has buried her dead.
The remains of the deceased will be
laid at rest at National City, the home
of his mother, after which Mrs. Boyd
will return to Mankato.

A BUSY PLACE.

The candy factory is now working
sixteen hours day in its endeavor to
accommodate the holiday trade, which
is by far the greatest of any time dur
ing the year. A force of 35 hands fare
employed and the average output is
three tons of candy day. A person
would be surprised to know the
amount of candy which the people of
this great Northwest devour. Several
hundred varieties, shapes and forms
of candy are made, and it would make
everybOdy's mouth water to see the
vast amount of sweet meats in all
stages of completion,and the immense
stock of completed candy on hand.
The cracker factory is expected to
start up about Jan. 1st. The machin-
cry will be purchased before that time
and will be placed in the basement of
the new part.

WHAT is CATARRH?
The Opinion of an Eminent Medical
Authority.

Catarrh is the cause of more diseases
than all other causes combined. There
are very few diseases to which human
flesh is subject that can not be traced
directly to catarIh. Not only is
catarrh capable of producing a great
variety of diseases, but it also attacks
any organ or part of the body. 1t
causes in the ear deafness, in the eyes
blindness, in the head and throat
discharges an offensive oder, in the
bronchial tubes and larynx cough and
hoarseness, in the lungs consumption,
in the stomach dyspepsia, in the
kidneys Bright's disease, in the pelvic
organs a host of derangemente too
numerous for mention. Pe-ru-na
cures catarrh and all catarrhal diseas-
es wherever located. Pe-ru-na is a
systemic remedy, and hence cures
catarrh of internal organs as surely as
it does catarrh of external organs, as
no local application to the affected
organ is necessary. Send for a free

THE CHIEF CLERKSHIP.

From present indications there is
not going to be anything wanting in
the way of candidates for chief clerk
ship of the Minnesota House of Rep
resentativeS. And all the candidates
thus far heard from are capable
gentleman, any one of whom will fill
the position with credit. E. A. John
son, ESQ.,, secretary of the Fourth Dis
trict Republican Congressional Com
mittee, is put forward by his friends
as especially fitted for the place. Mr..
Johnson reported the proceedings of
the House in 1891, for the United
Press and the ST. Paul Dispatch, and
is therefore fully acquainted with the
duties pertaining to the office.
Mr.. M. J. Bowling, editor of the
Renyille Star is also out as "non-
pickable' candidate, and if selected
will make mighty good clerk He is
a gentleman chock full of bushes and
whatever he undertakes he pushes
through with precision and prompt.
ness. Ira p. Shissler ESQ.,, of Manka.
to is also said to be "willin' Barkis'
for the position of chief clerk, and it
goes without saying that Ira possesses
all the attributes needful in one for a
place of this responsibility. Besides,
he was valuable factor in the cam
paign just closed, having made thirty
| speeches for Republicanism.
No doubt the list of candidates will
be largely augmented as time passes
In fact there are other names which
have already been mentioned aside
from those herein noted, and it is safe
to predict that there will be a merry
race between the candidates when
the list is completed.

FOR THE WORLDS FAIR.

Minnesota communities and individ-
uals are bestirring themselves on
Worlds Fair matters and every
thing points to a magnificent
representation of our interests at
Chicago next year. Applications for
space have been received from
large number of stock breeders and it
is now assured that our state will be
thoroughly represented in this impor-
tant department. Among other in
tending exhibitors, Messrs Willard; &

Dictated their expectation of showing
a limited number of their celebrated
horses.
The Sioux Valley Stone Co., of
Jasper, Pipestone county, yesterday
arranged with Supt. Hunt to place in
the state building at Chicago two
newell posts for the stairway that
will be models of workmanship and
beauty of design. They are to be of
polished Jasper, of which there is no
finer in the world, and will be con-
tributed free of cost. The work of
polishing the balls which are to sur
mount the columns will be done in
Germany, as there is no polishing
works in this country that can as yet
do the work in a manner satisfactory
to the generous contributors as re-
quired by the plans.
The ladies Of Pipestone also give
notice that they will construct man
tel manufactured from the celebrated
pipestone found only in that i'm
mediate locality, combined with pol
ished Jasper, in tastefully arranged
design.
Messrs. Babcock & Co., of Kasota,
are at work on handsomely designed
pedestal to be placed in the state
building as representation of the

coming models, as well as the Quarrles
, in other sections of the state.
Work on the displays in the agri-
cultural, horticultural, dairy, forestry,
mines and mining, fishery, education
al and other departments is being
pushed as rapidly as possible and
with gratifying success.
individuals having anything worthy
of a place in this great exposition are
assured that whatever they may con-
tribute will be receipted for and re-
turned in as good order as it was re-
ceived after the close of the fair. If
you have anything meritorious in the
line of geological specimens or ancient
pieces of curios or bric-a-brac the COM
mission would be glad to be so in
formed. Communications on any
thing pertaining to the advancement
of our states interest may be address
ed to Mr.. L. P. Hunt at Mankato. who
