The result had been probable for
two or three days before, but the
efforts for vutes were not abandoned
until the polls closed. In every pre-
cinct in the county with two or
three exceptions) the friends of the
railroad proposition worked earn
estly till the result had been reached
The fight was q hard one, and at
the start the outlook Was not most
encouraging. A large number Of the
people of the city and towns most
interested felt the Importance OF the
NATTER and large number of work
lers devoted their time and energy to
the issue with more enthusiasm than
could be aroused for any personal
interests: Scores Of workers
were constantly at the command
of the committee, and the
the fight was conducted with energy
in every precinct from which q ia
vorable result was hoped for. Dur
ing the past ten days there had been
every evening in different parts of
the county, but that part OF the
work was related to tho close per-
sonal canvass made about as artil-
lery is related to the dghtiug infantry
in an army. The speaking in each
town was preceded and followed by
the most careful and systematic per-
sonal canvass, and to the latter is
largely due the splendid results. In
the canvassing the greatest possible
use was made of residents of the
several precincts,
For the last few days of the cam
paign the very best citizens of the
city were fully at the command of
the committee, and no complaints
were heard that they were not given
ample opportunity to employ their
abilities and energies.
Royalton business men made a de-
termined fight, but it was really not
a wise one. The attention they gave
to Two Rivers, Elm Dade and Belle
vue was a surprise to the friends Of
the bonds, and q most gratifying
feature Of the campaign. The section
where opposition would have been
most annoying and successful the
opponents entirely ignored.
Poor, old Rich Prairie! Her pres
tige has forever gone. The stubborn
refusal Of her people to ever give en-
couragement to any action for the
beuefit of any other section of the
county has estranged her from all
other localities. During this cam
paign she was a. completely ignored
as though she had been
a foreign section. Her majority of
225 was met and overcome four
times over by the city of Little Falls.
The parts of the county that she has
at different times opposed in the
past should remember her in the

Louis Moe]ehert's birthday. The
Mannechor, consisting of twelve
active singers, gave a very fine
selection of vocal music. Miss Smith,
principal of the Columbian school,
sang a few solos in German and
English, and was wildly applauded.
Mr.. j. H. NUM-, the leader of the
Mappechor presented Mr.. Louis
Moelchert nice token of friendship
given by the active members of the
Mannechor, saying II few selected
words fitting the occasion, to
which Mr.. MoeIchert responded,
wishing the Mannechor success. He
was SO taken by surprise that it was
almost impossible for him to express
himself. Supper was served, the
boys being waited upon by Mrs. and
Miss MoeIchert, whose smiling
countenances made the boys eat
more than they really wished to.
A general good time was reported
by all present.
Mr.. Louis Moelchert, is by the
way, a passive member OF the
Mannccher, and has always shown
his kind feeling towards them, The

ladies ofthe eGerman-English Catholic
church, to sing art a sOc1ab1e, given

against the company. one for Grim

The manager OF the company was
unable to furnish bonds and for
awhile the county Jail stared him in

plant the matter was laid at rest
until about two months ago when
E. G. Sharpe came here. And after
looking the situa tion over he deter
mined to put in plant at once. He
accordingly secured from Mr.. Grambs
the franchise and in: about two weeks
after his first visit had the machin-
cry on the ground. Manager Kang-
