YESTERDAYS PICNIC.

madison Lake is an ideal resort"
and Christensen's "Point" is "Fair,"
to a superlative degree. This was
the unanimous verdict of the children
of,St. Johns Catholic church who had
their annual picnic in that grove yes
terday. Wealth of woods and water
largely contributes to the beauty of
the place and from this eminence a
matches panorama bursts upon the
view which the visitor is tempted to
compare with gem of azure set in a
frame of richest green. Here the
light and shade play hide-and-seek
for fully six months of the year, and
the birds and bees hold high carnival
among the trees and wild flowers.
Many of the parents drove out in
private conveyances and witnessed
the Catholic exercises. No mishaps
or accidents marred the pleasures of
the day, though one of the carryalls
gave manifest signs of succumbing to
the avoidupois of the larger girls.
Several citizens of the town by the
lake are thankfully remembered by
the excursionists for contributing in
various ways to the enjoyment of the
eighty and more childrens who par.
ticipated in the excursion.

sisting OF the Mankato Century CLUB
and some invited guests, rode out to
Oak Cliff Farm yesterday afternoon,
starting at five o'clock. Gen. and
Mrs. j. II. Baker received the party
very Hospitality and served amost eX-
cellent supper, which was highly en-
ioyed by the hungry wheelmen. Al

over to Madison Lake to spend the
night. Mayor Weaver met with an
accident by being thrown from his

which interfered somewhat with the
pleasures of the trip for him.

A, p. HalfhiIl Tells What They are
Doing,

Mr.. A. P. Halfhill, of Los Angeles,
Cal, who is visiting in the city for a
few days, is on his first trip for the
California Fish Co., of which he is a
principal stakeholder and vice presi-
dent. When he decided to go on the
road he resigned the position of presi-
dent Of the company. He has met
with excellent success on his trip.
He reports that Mrs. Halfhill and the
children are well and contented. He
has thirty acres in the Alessandro
district planted with fruit trees just
coming into bearing. Ten acres are
planted to apricots, ten to peaches
and plums, and eight to prunes.
Mr.. Halfhill said that he saw the
late Henry Shaubut three months ago
and he was then looking well and ap-
parently good for twenty years more.
He had not looked as well since the
first time Mr.. Halfhill saw him,
eleven years ago.
Mr.. Halfhill has the following to
say concerning people who have NOV
ed from Mankato to California.
EB. Tuttle is living on his ranch at
Ontario and Mr.. Halfhill never saw
trees that gave finer prospect for a
crop than these do at the present
time. Mr.. futile hires very little
work done, doing the most of it HIM
self, such as plowlng and cultivating
He is working hard on his land.
Frank Strunk has built a residence
at Riverside and is now moving into
it.
w. E. Clark and his brother, after
experiencing variety of luck, are
now doing well at Riverside, with
their trees in excellent condition. n
Geo. Ledgerwood is travelling for
the California Fish Co.
Geo. Weaver has a hotel on Catta-
line Island, and boats make the trip
daily the year around.
Inc McManlllS are SplenulQly HXeu
on the Alessandro district, with fine
orchards.
L. button is at San Diego, and sold
several carloads of Mankato -four.
Up. Christensen and family are do
ing we'll and feeling well. D.
&C. Quinn secured his ranch at
Riverside at a great bargain and is
doing well. His trees are old and
bear heavily.
Mr.. George, who formerly managed
the opera house in this city, lost his
wife two years ago, of consumption.
Mr.. Halfhill is as well pleased as
when he first when to California, and
certainly looks as though the climate
had not had bad effect on him.

MISSED EACH OTHER.

The Lake Crystal Union tells of a
young man who last week arrived
there expecting to meet his affianced
bride from Wisconsin. She did not
come and he telegraphed her and re-
ceived the reply Cant Come" He
then took the train south, swallowing
his disappointment. The next train
brought the young lady, who explained
that her papa was opposed to the
match, had received the telegram and
sent the reply. At last accounts she
was trying to find her lover. Bro.
Neff breaks off the story too soon, at a
highly interesting point.

ment has rAp1l itnced since. IL - all due
TO the abrogation OF the Republican
policy OF protection and reciprocity.
This Was the beginning. the prime cause,
81 the general breaking down Of home
industries and the breaking up Of the
governments financial condition. Had
the Republican party remained in power
all this would have been averted, for the
same conditions that existed in 1912,
under which the nation reached the high
water mark OF it's prosperity, would
have continued undisturbed, aud there
would have been no industry wrecking,
no paralysis OF business, no great gaping
deficits. no bond issues, no bunco games
played on Uncle Sam 10y Shylock syndi-
Gates.
The country knows when IL has had
enough OF this. 1t has had more than
enough already, says the Detroit
journal, but il * elected TO suffer two
years more for it's folly OF 1892. The
penalty is a severe one, but it must be
paid.

A bill has been introduced into the
state legislature 60 create the office OF
state mine inspector, the state officer TO
appoint deputies for the several coun-
ties.
The Office OF mine inspector might bet
ter be rubbed out altogether than rem
dered more iarcical than it is and has
been in many cases. Put the matter in
the hands OF the state legislators, let
them create an office TO be filled by a
state mine Inspector and ten TO one the
snnp will be gobbled mp by some politi-
cal wire-puller or pap-sucker who knows
no more about mines in general or the
duties OF mine inspector than a city
dry goods clerk does about placing set
oi timber. Not whit more. His depu.
ties will he appointed not for their abll-
ity or willingness TO guard the miners
life, but for their political influence.
A state mine Inspector would be SUI
pcrfuous.
Each county should have its own
mine inspector, but instead 81 being APP
pointed by the board Of supervisors, as
he now is, in the opinion ofTnE DIAMOND
DRILL he should be elected by ballot, as
are other county officers, thereby giving
the miner, the man most interested, Il
voice in the matter.
In many mining towns prominent
mining men are supervisors, and are IN
every way competent. But when q
county board OF supervisors is com.
posed in the majority OF mine managers
should the appointment OF mine in
spector be left in their hands, No.
The miners should be given an oppor
tunity TO come together in caucus OF
convention, nominate the man TO whom
they shall iutrust the duty OF guarding
their lives and limbs and elect him nj
the polls. Until it is so the Office o.
mine inspector will continue TO bc more
or less farce. II the county mine in
spector does his duty there is nothinl
for the state mine Inspector to do, Let
the miners elect the county mine inspec

There appears to be no good defense
for the administration against tho
charge OF allowing itself TO be "buncoedn
out oi several millions in bond negotia-
tions with the Morgan-Belmont syndi-
cate. The fullest details of the trans
action are clearly set forth 10y the New

claims 90 be the leading organ OF its
party. aud the facts and figures therein
presented show most lamentable
failure on the part OF the administration

insisted by Secretary Carlisle and Others
that no better terms could have been
made, but has IL come To this, that the
administration is powerless 20 make any
terms at all, but must accept whatever
is offered by speculative purchasers?
This seems 10 have been the administra-
TONS view OF 1t, for the bonds were sold
Co the syndicate far below their market

IL Is n scandalous and almost n

President Lincoln said, You cannot
fool the people n second time" They
nre too quick 60 recognize real merit or
lack 81 it, and cling only 60 those things
which they find Co be what Is claimed for
them.
IL is especially gratiliing that the sale
OF Hoods Sarsapnrllhl increases most
rapidly in those sections where IL is best
known.
The inference is plain. Hoods Sarsa-
parilla has proven that IL possesses
genuine merit II maintains high
standard, which others cannot even
approach. II is the peoples iayorite

and is more popular this year than ever
