/ Chairman Huntington, of the Re-
publican county committee, received
a special from Tams Bixby last Tues
day, announcing that William Henry
Eustis, at present mayor Of Minneap-
oils, and one Of the brightest and most
eloquent mon in the State, will speak

John McIlreavie is committed to
the St. Peter Jail awaiting the action
Of the grand jury to investigate the
charge Of grand larceny preferred
against him by Roumanius johnson,
and found sufficiently true to warrant
a commitment by Justice Fleischer.
McIlreavie entered Johnson's house,
while the latter was away, and stole
several articles. among them a gold
pen and a locket, the former of which
he attempted to trade on the evening
of that day, and which led to the de-

A small partial eclipse of the moon
was visible here Friday night. The
upper portion of the moon passed
through the lower part of the earth's
shadow, and at the time of greatest
obscuration," 1O:31:3 6 p. m, this
shadow extended over only about one
fourth of the moons diameter. The
shadow first appeared on the upper
hand quarter of the moons limb, or
edge, and the eclipse began at 9:35 :36
p. A., and it disappeared at 11:27 AZ
p. M, on the upper right-hand quad
rant of the lower limb.

grass, and the high winds sent the
flames over the stubble and grass in
an alarming manner, burning four
stacks of hay belonging to E. B. Hale
and about ton of hay belonging to
VIM. Ham, in it's course, and had it
not been for the turning out of citi-
zens and the fire department the fair
buildings would have been swept
away by the demon. The fire ran to
the road just south of the grounds,
and played havoc with the magnificent
: growth of willows, running up the
branches like a squirrel. Here salt
and water we're brought into use, and
by desperate efforts the flames were
checked. The fire worked westward
towards the city but it was exiting.
