ties seem to favor publication Of the de-
ereased fare during the latter part Of this

be appreciated by thousands whose faces are
Chicagovard, but whose hesitation in making
definite plans was due to an insuficiency Of

belief TO cooperative minds, but there is sound
feason for believing that further reduction of

cheney, considering that the company
was practically reorganized six weeks
ago and even now has no lieutenants.
The arms. and accoutrements were
also examined by the careful eye of
the inspector and were found to be in
good condition. 1t is believed that
Gen. Pray will make favorable re-
port upon the company as a whole.

A FINE SHOWING.

The Photographic exhibit which
will be sent from this city to the Min
nesota state building at the Worlds
Fair will be completed by Monday
and shipped Immediately to Chicago.
Geo. E. Keene has prepared the pho
tographs and case, and it will be a
very attractive display, which canuot
fail to attract attention.
The principal photograph is birds
eye view of the city taken from the
bluffs east of the city. 1t is made in
three sections, to be perfectly joined
together. Each section is 11x14 inches.
A fine view is secured, from the stone
quarries to the south end of the city,
and the river following its twisted
course in the background.
The other views are as follows:
Court house, 1Sx22, Normal school,
1lx14, Cassidy packing house, Knitting
mills, Fibreware works. Markato
Mfg. Go. plant, Cement works, Lin
seed oil mill, Creamery Pkg. factory,
Minnesota river bridge, The Saul
paugh, r. d. Hubbard'S mill, and
stone quarry, each SXl0 inches.
Another excellent picture is two
views of Front street, taken from the
Hickory street corner, up and down
the street. There are some good
buildings in the foreground and a
good impression is given. These are
each SX10 inches.
All of the photographs are eXcep-
tionally fine. Mr.. Keene's large new
$4e0 camara, capable OF taking pic
lures l8X22 inches in size, does splen-
did work. Mr.. Keene will put all of
the pictures in a neat oak frame, three
feet and eight feet long.
