THE KENNEBECS ARRIVE
Fresh from Their Great Victory Over
tie Fall Rivers.
They Will Try Conclusions With the Brocktons
This Afternoon.

There was large crowd at the depot
yesterday afternoon, to witness the Kenne
bees, fresh from their splendid victor,
over the Fall Rivers. Captain McGeach,
accompanied his men. He is still littI,
weak, and his thumb has not thorough,
healed. He will be on the coaching lines
however, to cheer on his men, and the
steadying effect of his presence will be
sure to contribute to the success of the
home team.
The boys are in very fair condition, and
rapidly getting into winning form. Just
who will pitch the game has not been
decided. Kelley will do the catching.
Dilworth will report during the forenoon
and put in some practice with the team.
1t may be that he will be given trial in
the box during the game, although the
chances are that Baker, who pitched SC
strongly in the second game with the New
Bedfords. will do the twirling. Manager
Burnham will decide this when he sees
how the boys timber up in practice. Most
of the team are quartercd at the City
hotel Manager Burnham and Captain
McGeachy are stopping at the Augusta
house.
The Brocktons are expected to arrive
from Portland on the forenoon train.
They are in fine condition, have been
playing fast game, and will endeavol
to add another victory to their list, this
afternoon. The Kennebccs, however, are
in much better form than when these two
teams last met, and the game is certain
to be hotly contested one. The indica-
tions all point to a large attendance.
1t is probable that number of people
from up and down the river will be pre-
sent The Maine Central Railroad will
sell excursion tickets at ono fare between
Fairfield and Richmond, to all the games
played in this city or Gardiner Later in
the season, when the games are played in
Watervillo, similar courtesies will be ex-
tended Skowhegan and other places whose
citizens will be able to take in the games
at that place and return home the same
day.
Whether the boys win or lose, today,
the people who visit the park, this after
noon, will be sure to SEQ as lively game of
ball as was ever played in the kenncbec
valley.

A very touching incident occurred late
ly which deserves recording az it demon
strates the fact that many of the jewels
are vet hidden and are from time to time
only accidentally discovered. An old
gentleman who lived in near by town
died lately 1t was supposed the town
would have to bury him but the select
men in consulting his sister, an old lady,
found she would not for moment listen
to her brother being town charge even
in such an emergency. She produced
from some hiding place her little all
which consisted of somewhat more than
500 in FIVE and ten cent pieces, she had
been saving for many weary years. In
former years this brother had by hard
work been enabled to keep herself ard
mother off the town. She was persistent
in making this sacrifice of her all in her
old age to purchase her brothers casket,
"a coffin would not satisfy her, as 1t was
the last opportunity she would have on
earth for rcquiting his kindness and
love. To the credit of the selectmen be it
said that they strongly objected to taking
this money but without avail. After
learning these particulars Trouant d
Bates kindly reduced the price of good
casket to the limits of tho purse and were
thus enabled to assist in making the
worthy old lady happy.

CAUSE OF THE LEAK.

1t has been stated time and again
that as the fall months approach the
flow of gold would set in towards this
country. But August is nearly gone,
and gold goes out instead of in. The
Chicago Tribune, in the following,
shows why it is that gold continues to
60, and under such circumstances
will continue to go:
The following table explains in a
large part why the balance of the
trade is running against this country
so heavily and why gold is going out
at the time Of the year when normal
ly We ought to be receiving gold in
payment for food supplies sent to Eu-
rope. The table shows the imports of
several important articles in ten
months of 1894 under the Mckinley
act, in comparison with imports of
the same articles in 1S94-95 under the
German Wilson act, except that the
comparison for woolens is for six
months, as the new schedule did not
go into effect until Jan. l. The fig.

QUAY AND PROTECTION.

In speaking of the great fight which
Senator Quay has just made in Penn
sylvania, and while holding that he
is more of politician than a states
man, the Chicago Inter Ocean points out
some Of the great services which he
rendered the people in the last con-
gress and saved to some of the Ameri-
can industries prosperity which
they would not now enjoy, and for
which he would receive the graft
tude of the American people:
AS senator from the great manu-
featuring state Of Pennsylvania, the
state especially of coal and iron, Mr..
Quay rendered very efficient service
in fighting the Wilson bill. He was
the real leader on the Republican side
OF the opposition. He set about de-
feating free coal and free iron. He
knew his business and attended to it
with unfaltering fidelity. He showed
the same ability in fighting the bat
tie OF protection in connection with
iron and coal that he showed in con-
Quoting the first Harrison campaign
and the recent state campaign in his
own behalf. If the American sheep
had had as able defender in the SEN
ate wool would not have been put on
the free list. He knew how to get
matters In such a shape that the

was under the Mckinley tariff, the
total exports of domestic merchandise
exceeded by nearly rs million dollars
the 1884 millions of exports for the
year ending with last June, ten
months of which were under the
Democratic tariff.
1t is the necessity of paying this
double difference, plus the enormous
expenditures of American tourists,
that is taking gold out of the United
States. The Democratic policy is the
direct cause of the drafts being made
on the treasury for gold to send
abroad, while Democratic president
who recommended the adoption of
policy, is doing his best to avert part
of the consequences. But neither his
sales of bonds nor any other act by
him prevents the great loss of en-
ployment to American laborers which
results from the increase in the i'm
portations of foreign merchandise,
much the largest part of which could
have been produced at home.

ANOTHER GAME WON.
The lankato Ball Club is rIaintain'
ing Its Reputation.

The ball game Thursday afternoon
between the Mankato club and the
Parker, S. D., club was thoroughly en-
Joyed by all who attended it. The
Parker boys are gamey club, full of
fight, and arrived here after a success
sion Of victories in tour through
Iowa. They were not the match for
the doughty Mankato boys, however,
in any respect, neither in the field or
at the bat.
Only one accident occurred during
the game, and that was when pitch
ed ball struck Desmond in the head,
giving him a bad bruise. Ed. Davis
was on the bench, and succeeded in
making a score in Desmond's place,
but when the Mankatos went TO the
field Tim went with them, and played
the game out as though nothing had
happened.
Wattles knocked the ball over the
fence and let in two scores, and Day
followed with liner over the fence,
making a home run. Such Occurances
as these, with now and then double
play, surprised the Parker boys, who
were famed out right along by Nixon,
or caught out by the field.
The game was called at $3.50 p. m.
and was completed in five minutes
less than two hours. Howe umpired
the game satisfactorily to both sides.
The score was as follows:
Mankato. 2 0 0 2 @ 2 3 3-12

MORE TRAINS
The Omaha will start Four more
FreightS Sunday.


The Omaha road is expecting all
the business that it can handle for
many months to come. Supt. H.
Spencer is quoted by a Twin City
paper as saying that there has been
enough grain raised along his division
to keep the full equipment of the
road at work until the next harvest.
Four more freights day will pass
through Mankato on the Omaha road
after Sunday, to help in meeting the
demand for moving the great crop. 1t
is likely that more will be added
later.
Supt. Spencer states that the re-
Gently adopted rule of the road to
charge for the transportation of BIZ
cycles has been followed by largely
reduced shipment of wheels. 1t looks
as though this reduction is due to the
charges now made, as road riding has
not fallen off any. The charges do
not amount to much more than most
riders formerly paid in tips to the
baggagemen, while the roads are now
responsible for the condition of the
wheels on delivery. 1t is believed that
the change will be entirely satisfac-
tory to both wheelmen and roads.

THE EDITORIAL EXCURSION.

President Whitney and the mem
bers of the executive committee OF
the Minnesota State Editorial Asso-
citation have planned a delightful an
nual excursion this year for the hard,
over-worked newspaper men, their
wives and daughters, and it bids fair
to excel in attendance any previous
excursion in the history Of the or
ganization.
The committee have not only plan
ned economically for their brethren,
but they have selected as well route
which few members of the fraternity
have ever taken, and one which will
prove full of interest and replete with
information. The excursion will COM
prise visit to Nashville and Chatta-
nooga of day each and two days
stop at Atlanta, Ca, where the Cot
ton States and International EXPOSE
tion will be swallowed up by the quill
pushers. At Chattanooga the party
will be shown a portion of the battle
field of Chickamaugua and the great
National Park: will be given lunch
on Missionary Ridge and served with
supper at Lookout Mountain Inn. In
fact it will be continual round OF
feast and pleasure from the time OF
leaving St. Paul on the 18th of Sept.
until the return trip home, reaching
here October 9th or 18th.
As above stated, the committee has
figured economically-extremely so,-
and the round trip is put down at
$3.50, This low cost puts iJ within
the reach of almost every editor to
participate.
The Great Western road will trans
port the party from St. Paul to Chi
cago and there turn it over to the ten
der mercies of the Chicago and
Eastern Illinois railroad, which road,
in conjunction with the Evansville q
Terre Haute and Louisville & Nash
vile will conduct it to Nashville.
From Nashville to Chattanooga the
Chattanooga & St. Louis will do the
honors, and from this point to At
lanta, the point Of destination, the
Western & Atlantic railway people
have been accorded the distinguished
privilege of pulling the heavily
freighted car or cars of Minnesota
brains.
The committee have the promise OF
these various roads to haul but two
Pullman's, and it is feared that the
capacity of these will be hardly suffi
cient for the demand. Already over
fifty have applied to Mr.. G. P. Slime,
and as only about one hundred and
ten can be accommodated under pres
ent arrangement, those who really eX-
pect to go should lose no time in max
ing the fact known to Mr.. Slime.

money.

A PROSPECTIVE DEAL.
Carl Eastwood Negotiating For the
Morning News.

A deal is on foot for the sale OF the
Morning Ne,cs by it's present owners,
and the prospective purchaser is Carl
Eastwood, editor of the Worthington
Advance, and another newspaper man
whose name at present is unknown.
Negotiations have been in progress for
the past two weeks, and Mr.. East
wood was in the city Friday to
decide the matter one way or the
other.
Mr.. Eastwood started the Mankato
Register, and resided here for some
time. 1t is claimed that he will be
backed in the deal by prominent Re-
publican politicians, and it is
whispered that these are no less per-
sonages than William r. Merriam, of
St. Paul, and Alexander Fiddes, of
Jackson.
J. E. Hall was asked this afternoon
in regard to the correctness of the
above, and he confirmed the statement
that negotiations are on foot, as men
toned. He Said
"Mr. Eastwood and l agreed on
price, and the bargain was made, but
1 stipulated certain requirements,
which have not been complied with.
Mr.. Eastwood will be here tomorrow
and the matter will probably be de-
cided. l have heard that Mr.. East
wood will be backed by stock COM
pany claiming capital Of S12, OOO but
who the parties are l donot know"
Mr.. Hall is to remain with the new
management, if the deal goes through.

"a HOT BICYCLE TOWN."

The Minneapolis Times in giving a
list of several possible Century ride
courses from that city heads it with
the ride to Mankato, and opens by
saying:
ga rather long trip for any but the
most heroic is the trip down to Man
kato and back. But it will be found
to be one of the best runs in the state,
and has the advantage of other routes
of having real live city at the end
of it. Mankato is one of the hottest
bicycle towns in Minnesota and can
boast of it's crack riders and clubs and
its records, and even of it's boomers.
The people in Mankato always give a
royal welcome to any wayfaring cy-
clist who drops in upon the city ia
tigued at any hour of the day or
night"

wheels of all tariff legislation would

point any other way. To him more
than any one else is the country in
debted for the fact that when the
natural wear and tear in iron and
steel rendered necessary enormous
purchases our home mills, and not
foreign, were in position to fill the or

way the boom which put new life in
to Pittsburg, South Chicago, Joliet,
Cleveland, and Birmingham would
have gone to stimulate the iron and

Belgium. From this point of view the
victory of Quay had general interest,
and ought to be accepted as another
indication of the great American doc
trine of the home market for home
products.

AGRICULTURAL GROWTH.

The closeness of the times during
the past two years or more, has un-
doubtedly had the effect to turn the
attention of many denizens Of the
city to the "beauties" of country life.
The thought that with few acres of
land, he is always sure of a living, is a
most facinating one to man, when
he sees times grow hard, and factories
and shops close, and chances of en-
ployment fade away in the distance.
The rapid growth reported by the
state census figures in some of the
northern counties of this state where
land is cheap and the getting of
home is a comparatively easy
matter, shows that many have
turned to the farm in the
hope Of lettering their condition.
But the few fragments of census
figures which have so far been made
public are not the only straws which
show that the belief that the people
have turned their eyes from the city
toward the country, is we'll founded.
The ST. Paul Pioneer Press, few days
ago, in reviewing the subject, gave
figures from the government land Of
fees Of the state, showing the home
stead entries had largely increased
with the hard times. In the district
in which the Marshall land office is
located there is practically no govern
ment land left, and in the Duluth dis
trict so many homestead entries with
the object only of securing timber and
mineral claims, that it takes only the
Crookston and ST. Cloud offices, and of
these it says:
cat Crookston the homestead en-
tries for the year ending 1898, were
81, 656 acres. During the summer the
entries dropped so that for the sue
ceedlng year they made total Of only
Ga, 1854 acres, but as the paralysis Of
that year gave way to more healthy
business conditions, the entries in
creased so that they reached 159, 700
acres for 1895.
"The report from st. Cloud shows
that similar relative conditions.
The homestead entries there in
creased from 59,943 acres in the year
ending June 80, 1893, to &C., 25 acres in
the subsequent year, the entries dur
ing the spring months of 1894 being
in round numbers about 1000 acres
more than during the same period of
the previous year. The entries for
that year ending last June show even
a greater increase, covering 100,9S7
acres, the entries during the spring
months exceeding by $1,000 acres
those in 1894, and by nearly 10000
acres those in 1893"
These records, continues the Pioneer
Press, are but induces of the additions
to Minnesota's farming population.
The greatest source Of increase comes
from those who enter the state with
means to purchase choice lands that
have been held by spectators. Of
these, there is no available record.
1t can be prophesied safely, however,
that the state census will show gra-
tifying increase in the agricultural
population. The greatest increase is
yet to come, and will not be known
until the census of 1900, for the mag
netic influence Of the wonderful crops
Of 1895 has not yet had time to be
felt as it will be in every farming Sec
tion of the east.
