THE K. OF P. PICNIC.

Will only about fifty persons from
this city attended the Knights of
Pythias picnic at Lake Crystal Fri
day, those who did 60 felt well repaid
for their days outing. The weather
was perfect and the members of Crys-
tai lodge spared no trouble or expense
to malfe it pleasant for the visitors.
The lake Crystal cornet band was at
the depot to meet the party, and fur
nished some excellent music during
the day.
Rev. Mr.. Foote extended a welcome
to the party, and Chancellor Com
mander Rutan, of Mankato lodge, re-
sponded. Chancellor Commander
Richie, of Crystal lodge, was
called upon for remarks, and Attorney
Daley, of this city, responded harmo-
niously.to call for a speech.
The baskets were then opened, and
an ample lunch was spread out under
the trees of Robinson's grove, on the
high bank overlooking the lake.
The afternoon was spent in riding
around the lake in the steam boat,
and in rowing or sailing. The baskets
still contained ample for supper.
In the evening Crystal lodge gave a
hop at the hall, and the Mankato peo-
pie who stayed to take this in were
their guests. Lovells orchestra fur
nished the music, and the party was
an exceedingly pleasant one and high
ly enjoyed by all. 1t is to be regretted
that more from this city did not stay
to attend this.
The special coach which was at
tached for the special use of the party
returned at seven o'clock, and the
larger portion of the party returned
at that hour. All will remember this
picnic with feelings eff pleasure, and
with particularly strong regard for the
Lake Crystal lodge.

THE COUNTY FAIR.

The county fair managers held a
meeting in,this Observation-Disclosures
and opened bids for the publication of
the annual premium list of the Blue
Earth county Agricultural Society.
The contract was awarded to the
FREE PRESS Printing Co., and the
premium lists are to be ready by Aug.
1st.
From Secretary Frank Nickerson
we learn that the race track has been
greatly improved. 1t has been widen
ed and covered with clay, and it is eX-
pected to present a smooth surface for
bicycle and horse racing.
A Judges stand has been erected on
the east side, and other improve
ments are contemplated.
There are to be four bicycle races,
and these have been left in charge of
Prof. Matter, of this city. Handsome
medals to the value of $50 will be Of
fered. This will ensure some good
races, participated in by the best rid
ers of this city and elsewhere. This
will be one of the features of the last
day of the fair.
There are to be three classes in the
trotting races, one for untried horses,
2:45 class and free for all. In the lat
ter race the first prize will be $40, the
second S12, and the third So. The same
purses will ,9 hung up for the
running races. This is much more
than is ordinarily offered, and will re-
suit in far better class of horses be-
ing entered, more interest among the
public, and consequently a larger at
tendance.
A prize of S25 is to be given for the
most productive acre of corn raised
this fall, and $40 for the second best.
This is to be raised by subscription.

BUGS AND WHEAT.
Lake Crystal Union:

Lake Crystal Union:
Last Thursday we went by team to
Mankato, as all the morning trains
were suspended, and this was the only
way to reach that city. Our route led
us by Loon and Rush lakes. After
leaving the Moses farm we found evil
dence of the chinch bug very dem
onstratively all along the road as far
as Pigeon Hill. The grain not touched
by these pests never looked finer. The
wheat stood up as straight as an arrow
and the heads were long and finely
formed, and if nothing happens will
yield fine crop. In several places we
noticed where the bug had just begun
operations on new piece of wheat,
having cleaned up field somewhere
else. One piece of about ten acres of
barley had been cut, that was worth
less. The straw was as white as chalk,
the bugs had taken every vestige of
life out of it. From there they had
gone onto corn field adjoining, and
on the first two rows about 81 rods
long, the blades had the appearance
of being frost bitten and were all
wilted. The stalks were black with
bugs and in short time the pests
would take the entire field. We OBJ
served other fields where the bugs
were working and about two-thirds of
the crop ruined. The bugs seem to
do more damage along this line of
country than farther back on the
prairies, perhaps owing to the close
proximity of the timber, where they
survive the winter and hatch early
and in great numbers. If it were not
for these pests, not in the history of
the state has there been more favor
able outlook for splendid crop than
there is at this time. On the other
hand, if this strip of country is to be
taken as fair sample of the condition
of things, we will fare mighty slim.

The Time to Fish.

There is time to fish, outside of
the time prescribed by the game laws
The game laws regulate the days, but
not the hours, and the hours are inn
portant. The fish like cool water, and
cool water is deep. Therefore, when
the sun begins to rise, and to burn the
fish leaves the shadows, not to return
until until the day begins to cool. 1t
is more profitable for the angler,
therefore, to fish prior to seven or
eight in the morning and after five in
the afternoon on clear days. These
hours, OF course, vary with conditions
and seasons. Almost any time brings
good results to the sensible fisherman,
who goes to one of the well stocked
lakes on the Saint Paul and Duluth
railroad, which is the anglers favorite
line. Forest, ChiSagO, RuSh-any of
these lakes afford satisfaction. The
Duluth Short Line is also the popular
route to and between St. Paul, Min
neapolis, Duluth, West Superior,
Saltwater, Taylor Falls and the gold
fields of the Rainy Lake district,
whittier so many are going now. Well
equipped trains carry passengers
speedily at convenient hours, to
terminels where close connections are
made with trains going in all direc-
tions. Ticket agents will supply in
formation cheerful, or it may be OBJ
tanned by writing to W. A. Russell,
general passenger agent, st. Paul,
Mimi.

LAKE MADISON CASES.

Saturday was a busy day at Lake
Madison in the Justices court. The
most important case was the arrest
OF James Mullen, one of the saloon
keepers, on the charge of stealing
$3.50 from Thos. Murtaugh 1t APP
pears that the latter recently sold a
farm and celebrated the occasion
rather hilariously. He claims to
have been doped in Mr.. Mullen's
place, and when he came to his senses
was without his money. Mr.. Mullen
denies the charge, and there does not
appear to be much evidence to sus-
tain it. Mr.. Mullen has always borne
a good reputation, and the public gen.
orally will want pretty good evidence
before believing the charge against
him. A. r. Pau will probably de-
fend him.
Timothy Murtaugh was arrested on
the charge of drunkenness, and the
case was set for trial to-day.
Michael Murtaugh was arrested on
the charge of trying to let Tim out of
the calaboose, and was fined so and
costs.
A civil case was also tried Saturday
in which the new creamery company
sued one of the subscribers for the
amount of his subscription.

BICYCLE MATINEE.

The bicycle racing matinee at the
park Friday drew large attend
ance of interested spectators. There
was one of the largest display of wheels
ever seen in the city, as a large pro-
portion of the riders rode over. There
were number of enteries of local
riders, but the track was SO dusty that
good time could not be made.

1T is WORKING.

From Saturdays Daily.
Considerable curiosity has been eX-
pressed from time to to time as to the
efficacy of the chinch bug disease
which Prof. Lugger is endeavoring to
spread among the bugs in the fields.
That gentleman was in the city yes
terday, coming from New Ulm, and
reports that at the latter place fully
three-fourths of the farmers who have
used the diseased bugs in their fields
report having been wonderfully helped
VIM. Donaldson, of Litchfield, who
came after some diseased bugs yester
day, took sixty boxes back with him
for distribution among the farmers Of
Meeker county. They have already
tried the disease with success, saving
their crops when used.
w. IS. Howe, of the big mill, says
that two-thirds of the farmers who
have tried the remedy report good re-
suits.
Prof. Lugger states that the grass
hoppers are doing great injury in the
Northern part of the state, about Du-
luth, where vegetation is being eaten
up rapidly. He went to ST. Paul to-
day, and will return to this city Tues
day.

STOLEN GOODS FOUND.

Robt. Bradley, of the Omaha depot,
was bathing in the Minnesota river
about seven miles below this city, and
half way to KasOta, Sunday morn
ing. He discovered what appeared to
be some black clothing sticking out of
the sand on the shore near the water,
and on investigation found that it was
a large bolt of silk. The appearance
was as though the water had washed
the sand over it. He brought it to
this city, and j. B. Richards identi-
fed it as part of his stolen stock.
1t was good quality of goods, worth
$500 yard, and contained thirty-five
yards. 1t was wet and besmeared
with sand, but Mr.. Richards hopes to
save it by sending it back to the
wholesale house for repolishing.
1t is thought that the bolt was
dropped out of the boat in which the
robbers carried away their plumber,
and that in the darkness they over
looked it or could not find it. The
boat was subsequently found not far
away, and was undoubtedly unloaded
at that point. The morning after the
robbery, the police looked with little
favor on the theory that the stolen
boat was. taken by the robbers to
transport their plumber, and it was
several days before search was made
down the river, so that the thieves
