the State fair over the Northwestern
last Saturday.
Mrs. Sherman Martin, who spent
most of last week taking in the State
fair, returned home last Saturday.
Among the guests at the Salspaugh,-
Mankato, last week were, E. D. Sim
mons and G. D. Gilfillan, of this city.
Mechanics G.. r. Pease, II. A. Bald
win, N. V. r. Hunter and Miss Agnes
Barley were State Fair visitors last
week.
Frank I. Gleason came down from
his threshing tour in the north last
Saturday. He reports that he will be
engaged threshing up there another
month.
Renville Star Farmer: Mrs. Ben.
Nelson and Miss Nellie Nelson, of
Granite Falls, and the Misses Dun
nington and Baldwin, of Redwood
Falls, were the guests of Mr.. and Mrs.
Tim O'Connor Wednesday last.
E. L. Beach, H. M. Hitchcock, Mrs.
Crouley, Miss Crouley and William
Crouley, jr., Mrs. E. 0. Chapman, and

| A Victor Cyclone threshing machine
and number of wheat stacks were
burned on the farm of H. Lauden, in
Sherman, last Thursday. The ma
chine belonged to Julius Hopp, and
the grain was owned by Mr.. Lauden.
Loss about 81 100 with little insurance.
If any one, business man or other
wise,has ever questioned the GAzErrE's
loyalty to this city, letter from Cen
eral Passenger Agent Cults, of the M.
& St. L., a copy of which can be seen
at this Office, should be sufficient to
dispel that idea. The rumor from
abroad is probably the best to stop
the insinuations.
W.D. Martin was around town last
Thursday exhibiting a few samples of
gold quartz found on his farm, about
two miles south of this city. The
quartz shown by Mr.. Martin is of a
very fine quality and compares very
favorably with the quartz taken from
a mine on the Minnesota river, about
four miles from this place.
i Frank Hall, barber who lives in
Minneapolis, and has been working at
the Kelley institute there, was arrest
ed on request of the authorities of
Morton, Renville county. It is alleged
that Hall picked the pocket of a man
named Peter Lather at Morton and
stole watch and small sum of mon
ey. Detective Hoy found the watch
in Halls house.
The Minnesota State relief commits
sion requests contributions of heavy
winter clothing and heavy underwear,
as the cold weather is fast coming on,
and without plenty of good, warm
clothing the people who have lost
their all through the fires will suffer
severely. They are also in great need
of flour and pork in barrels and at
least fifty cars of lumber. All con-
tributions and communications should
be addressed to Kenneth Clark, treas
urer, st. Paul.
| Uncle Sans mail service between
Lamberton and Redwood Falls needs
probing badly. A letter was mailed
at Lamberton at 7:15 o'clock on the
J, evening of Sept. 10, containing CORE
spondence, and addressed to the GA
zErrE. It should have reached this
city at eight o'clock the next morning,
but it did not reach here until Wednes-
day morning, 36 hours after it was
mailed. The party who mailed it
spent the night at Lamberton, Tues
day at the convention there and re-
turned home Tuesday evening, eight
hours before the letter reached it's des-
; tination. If this is not slow we do
not know what is.
In connection with the stories of
combinations, etc., in the late Repub-
lican county convention there is one
relative to the nomination of E. P.
Byram for coroner that is interesting.
"Doc's" candidacy was all a joke on
the start, he having been brought out
in jest through the columns of this pa
per. But people took it in earnest
and SO did our contemporary over the
way. When the excitement of the
convention was at fever heat, and just
