lingering doubts as the utility Of the
Minnesota building will be set at rest
by brief visit to that structure. The
man who can enjoy the comforts it
offers without appreciation will bear
watching That the majority OF
Minnesotians who visit it are not in
sensible of it's benefits is evidenced
by the expressions OF satisfaction
heard on every side. Citizens of the
North Star state who visit the Fair
will find the Minnesota building in
the northwest corner of the grounds
near the end of the avenue of state
buildings. Some of them are larger
and more ornamental, but none eX-
tends more cordial welcome to its
citizens, or offers more restful re-
treat. The broad varandas and
balconies command a good view OF
the surrounding part of the grounds
and are cool and shady. The central
doorway opens on a large room, in
which the exhibits are displayed. In
adjoining rooms are the post office,
and office of the Minnesota commits
sioners. All of the attendants are
polite and accommodating.
Interior decoration has been eXem-
plified in a tasteful and pleasing
manner. The upper floor is devoted
to parlors, reading and writing rooms
and toilet conveniences. The Mime
sotians to accept these opportunities
are legion. l heard a Minnesota wo'
man murmur as she sank YEARLY in
to an easy chair, Comfort! Well, yot
will find it here if you do anywhere.

THE COUNTY FAIR.
MANKATO, Sept. II.

MANKATO, Sept. II.
Editor Free Press:
The officers of the Blue Earth coun-
ty fair, knowing well that your paper
is widely read throughout the county
and that it's readers are anxious to
know what are the prospects of our
county fair, the great wonder to me
is that the friends of the county fair
are so quiet and have not informed
you that the town Of Vernon, or her
farmers, have served notice on her
sister towns, Shelby, Sterling, Maple
ton, Decoria, Lyra, Rapidan and Lee
Ray to compete for the banner eX-
hibit at the county fair. The towns
have concluded that this county must
not be behind the other counties in
making the best exhibit of every kind
of horses, whether for draught, carriage
or speed, or for beauty or riding. The
only question that should be asked is
as to the room and accommodation
for all that will come to the county
|
they will find plenty of room. The
great cattle, food provider, is one kind
of exhibit at the fair, with cattle as
the CONSPICUOUS part at the fair. The
great COW, the butter furnisher for
mankind, is the star at the fair. Well,
who will be the lucky man with the
best hogs or small pigs? What fac
tor hogs are as mortgage litter from
the farm! The only question is, will
the farmer give the hog proper eX-
hibit? Come one, come all, with your
great stock of hogs in this county and
let the exhibit be the grandest ever
displayed in the county. In the great
sheep, wool and mutton exhibit this
county can excel. The great fowl
raisers in the county cannot be ex-
celled. AS to turkeys, they have fur
nished many wedding dresses, and de.
licious food for the baDQuets. The
great hen, with her product
of eggs and her brood, is of great
value to the farmers. Many pounds
of coffee, tea and sugar are bought
with the hen and the Growing rooster
The duck is a fowl for food anC
feathers, and the goose cannot be ex
celled for food and soft down for pill
lows. The wheat exhibit should bt
large. The sweet mOrsel of bread
has more solid comfort to the TASTE
than all kinds of grain. But corn
oats, barley and all kinds of seeds ar
essential exhibits at the fair. Ever.
farmer can furnish something.

400 cases the most common cause was
improper feeding"
= Because it is the most nourishing.
most palatable, most digestable,
purest of foods, physicians and ex-
perienced nurses recommend and use
lactated food.
Lactated food has saved thousands
from cholera infantum and fatal
diarrhea It more closely resembles
mothers milk than any other food
known. It's basis is sugar of milk,
which is the basis of mothers milk.
With it is combined the nutritive
parts of wheat, barley, and oats IN
such proportions as best meet the re-

NEW WHEAT MOVES.

How to move the crop does not seem
to he such anrunSurmountable OBJ
stacle after all. says the Market
Record. Awhile back, people, and
there were plenty of them, saw only
the worst side of the case. IneY
could see no way out. OF the plnch
that wheat buyers in the northwest,
as well as in other portions OF the
country, were in on account OF tlght
money. They SAID that the buyers
could not get money with which TO
huy the wheat in the country, as mas
lways been done, and that farmers
would not accept checks in payment
for their wheat. The result, however,
seems to be far different from their
authorizations. New wheat is coming
along about as fast as it did ayear ago
but old wheat shows falling OH De-
cause there is not much left in farm
er's hands. Some buyers are paying
for their wheat in the country py Ihe
check system and others planklng
down the cash. The former,lt seems,
is in great favor among the country
merchants because most of the farm
ers in their anxiety to see Whetner 1ne
checks are good or not turn them over
to the country merchant in liqulda-
tion of old debts much quicker than
they would cash. The question no"
in regard to moving the crop does not
seem to depend so much upon the
money question as it does on the
price. OF course the farmers In the
northwest that are not pressed fol
money, and have storing facllltles
will hold on for better prices. Some
of them have been holding on for two
or three years and have wheat on hano
now that could have been sold for 81
per bushel. They are not plentiful IL
the northwest, however, and neither
is the farmer who can afford to keel
back all of his wheat for a gree
length of time.

ANOTHER LIE NAILED.

The Mankato ReuieaU is authority
for the statement that guests at the
Minnesota building at the WORLDS
fair are not we'll received and that
there is strong disposition on the
part of the employees to be overbear-
ing and insulting, ladies not even
being allowed to rest on the divans,
ETC., at the building. How that may
be now we do not know but when the
writer was there inJune no fault what
ever could be found on that score, we
awaited ourselves of all the privileges,
lolled about on the sofas and divans,
used up quantities of stationery that
was provided free of charge, patroniz-
ed their Iavatory, drank the Mime
sofa water" thumped umfeeliDgly on
the piano to the undOubted discom-
fort and annoyance of the other
guests and would have partaken OF
the free lunch had any been provided
and still there was no kick coming
We went further than that; smoked
cigars, yes, even cigarettes, and put
our feet on the tables, and no remon'
STRANGE yet. We wiped our face and
hands on the towel and remarked that
as an exhibition of a Minnesota print
ing office production it was a decided
success, and no one demonstrated OF
even paid any attention. AS a crown
ing achievement of atrocity we whis
tied after the Ball" abstractedly fol
an hour or two although we noticed
that 'sthe guests had all departed
from that part of the building we were
occupying, yet they did not resort tt

been completed the reduction will
easily be twice that.

THE ausDRNAroRrAL QUESTION


To THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES: The
time is at hand when tho nomination
for Governor of this State is very prac-
tical question. The Roanoke press can
do much to influence public opinion, and
for some time past we have been ex.
pecting to see your widely circulated
paper take position and hoping the
weight OF its influence would be in touch
with the people outside of tho cities,
and advocate for this offics our cultured
and competent lieutenant governor,
Major Hoge Tyler, who. in addition to
his many qualifications for tho office, is.
q representative of the great agricul.
tural interests of our State.
The late election for President was
not partisan contest, or. political
victory, strictly considered:
In the late election tie evident injus-
tice OF ''the protec i've tariff system" in
lis practical workings, and the avowed
determination of the Republican party
to adhere thereto, combined with the
threatened evils from the infliction OF
the odious Force bill" were controlling
factors, which crystalliZed intelligent
public opinion. against the continuance
OF such policy, and resulted in an over
whelming victory of the people over the
politicians.
It was in fact a bloodless revolution,
showing that when the American peo-
pie believe their rights or liberties are
really threatened, no mere party tics
can control their action. No such issue
though Is involved in the pending con-
test for governor. While the Republi-
can party is evidently minority and
would surely be detected in partisan
canvass, yet they are willy and power
full body and one to be dreaded.
because, II for any reason they can
bring about division in our ranks
their solid vote thrown to any popular
Democrat who will consent to run as an
independent candidate of "the third
party-will probably defeat any man
who has not some special commentator
to the farming population of our State.
which Is great, and, just now, very
sensitive element of political power.
This may not be proper or justifiable,
ye5 it is fact, and one which it will be
unwise to ignore and equally 80 to fail
IN any effort to make such element CO.
operative with the Democratic party.
We believe we have stated facts, and
that it Is also fact that the nomina ton
of Hoge Tyler will reduce the danger
OF any such ombiuation against the
Democratic nominee to the minimum,
and increase the probability of the
Third party uniting upon our nominee
to the maximum. Certainly it would
paralyze any successful combination
against him.
For these reason and because Major
Tyler is in every respect fit man for
the office, we earnestly hope the Roa-
noke press will be a unit in advocating
his claims, and seeking to influence the
convention (soon to assembly, in his
favor. R. B. M.

FOR MEN AND WOMEN.
Basket Ball as Played in z. M. O.
a. Gymnasiums.
A Gamc for Both Sexes-It rs Something
Like Football. But Has No Rough
Features and Is Full
OF Fun.

For long time gymnasium instruc-
tors were confronted by the necessity
for game which could be played in
doors by old and young, male and fe-
male. They wanted game devoid of
rough features, yet one which should
be thoroughly scientific, and which
should afford plenty of opportunity for
good healthy exercise for the scholar
or business man, and training for the
athlete. Such possibilities, says the
New York Sun, have been discovered in
the game OF basket ball, which has be-
come so popular in school and club
gymnasiums throughout the country
The game was first introduced by the
directors and pupils of the Y. NJ. G. A.
