Miss Wood, of Fond du Lac, who
has been visiting her niece, Mrs. G. G.
Chollar, for several days past, left for
Minneapolis yesterday morning.
St. Peter Journal: Sheriff Blethen,
Redwood's popular and genial official,
brought an interesting prisoner to the
county jail Thursday. Sheriff Blethen
is a candidate for reno mination in
Redwood county, and if the people
there are able to appreciate good
thing when they have it they will give
Blethen handsome and solid vote.
That s the way we do over in Nicollet
county-pick out the best man and
put him down for a winner.
President Joseph Tyson is now
busily engaged in getting the fair
grounds in shape for the coming fair,
which is to be held for three days
commencing Sept. 10Th. The attrac-
tons are not yet all known, but the
racing promises to be great event,
and as the local Redwood county track
is one of the best on the circuit some
good time may be looked for. A ba-
loon ascension may be one of the
events.
Report has reached here from the
gold mines that Fred Schroeder had
threatened the lives of any one who
appeared on his land and that he had
fired number of shots in the air to
brighten away people. 1t is rumored
that he is becoming insane as his ac-
tions lately have been very queer. The
workmen have finally changed their
boarding place to that of P. H. John
son,as Schroeder has made it unpleas-
ant for them. Recently the first pay
ment, under the mining contract, was
offered him, but he refused as he thinks
the land is rich in gold and he desires
more for it. His neighbors have told
him he ought not to sell the land for
any such price and worrying about it
so much has turned his head. Work
at the mines continue, and the crush
ing machine and smelling works is to
be located there very soon.
The Minnesota State Agricultural
Society will have fair this year on it's
magnificent grounds midway between
st. Paul and Minneapolis. No fair
was held last year, land the exhibit will
mark more particularly the agricultur-
al progress of the State in that two
years. The managers of the fair al
ready have the assurance of a big ex-
hibit. The stock growers have in par
ticular shown desire to bring their
herds, focks and studs together for
comparison and competition, and
breeders from outside the State are
going to bring the best products Of
their stables to Minnesota to show
them to the Minnesota farmers. The
dairy exhibit will also be large. In
Steele, Freedom, Mower, Olmstead
and other of the southern counties of
the State, where the dairy interest has
SO rapidly, the friendly
rivalry between the different cheese
and butter manufacturers is sharp.
There will be the usual races, daily
balloon ascensions, and the fact that
there is going to be no exposition held
in Minneapolis this year promises to
result in the buildings devoted to the
of merchants and manufact-
urers being large. 1t will receive the
hearty support of both St. Paul and
Minneapolis. The dates of the fair
are Sept. 10 to 18th, inclusive.
Mrs. Condit, of New Jersey, lectured
at the Presbyterian church last Sun
day evening on missionary work. Mrs.
Condit has travelled in most all of the
foreign mission fields of Asia. Her
lecture last Sunday was on Corea, and
what the missionaries have done and
are doing for that country. The jap
anese and Chinese governments are at
present sending troops into that coun-
try. Mrs. Condit started from New
Jersey and went by rail to San Fran
cisco and there took an ocean steamer
to Japan and from there to Corea.
The capital of the country is about 30
miles from the coast, on one of the
rivers. To reach the capital
she went by boat to within three miles
