afternoon. The victim was j. M. DR..
H. Brown, of Chicago, who was spend
ing the day at the lake with his
friend, Dr. j. p. Cory, of
GAINESVILLE. These two gentlemen, to-
gether with DR.. Wells, of Madison
Lake, went in bathing shortly after
dinner. Mr.. Brown got beyond his
depth, and as all were unable to swim,
he drowned before assistance could
reach him.
Madison Lake has been particularly
free from accidents, and this sad event
will mar the pleasure Of the guests
there.
DR.. Webster has relieved a letter
from an old college friend who resides
in North Carolina and is engaged in
the lumber business, saying that al
though a year ago he considered his
fortune made and that he was on the
highway to success, now his means
are gone and he will haYe to leave
and begin life over again. He at
tributed this to the proposition to
place lumber on the free list, and al
though he has been the leading Demo
GRAFT in his city of 5000 population, he
declared his intention Of coming to
Mankato or some other western city
and starting anew and hereafter to be
Republican. Here is an object
lesson of the disaster which the Dem
ocratic party has brought upon all
classes Of people by it's utter incOm-
petence to conducd the government.
This is only one instance where men
os culture and influence, engaged in
manufacturing pursuits, have been
impoverished, their business destroy
ed, and the future darkened, since
the Democratic party, for the first
time since the unfruitful free trade
times before the war, has come into
ull possession of the government.
June 18th is ST. Peter and Paul's
Day, and on that day the two statues
of St. Peter and Paul will be formally
received with exercise at the church
of that name. The statute of ST..
Paul was delivered yesterday, and
the other will be put up in day or
two. They will stand on pedestals on
each side of the front entrance to the
church. They are seven feet high,
and will stand on five foot pedistals.
They are the product of the shop Of
Joseph Masberg, and are very fine
pieces of work.
The grand army posts at this city,
Mapleton, Lake Crystal and Eagle
Lake, which were invited to spend
July 4th at Oak Cliff Farm, have ac-
copied the invitation. Gen. Baker
now extends the invitation to every
body who desires to go, and makes it
general. 1t is safe to say that some
hundreds of his fellow citizens will be
present, as the hospitality of General
and Mrs. Baker is widely known.
