That Catsrrh is . Local Affection

of the membrane of the nose, throat,
etc., is fact established by physicians,
and this authority should carry more
weight than assertions of incompetent
parties, who claim that catarrh is a
blood affection, in order to make a
market for their compound. Ely'e
Cream Balm is local remedy, compos.
ed of harmless medicants and free OF
mercury or any injurious drug. It will
cure catarrh. Applied directly to the
infiamed membrane, it restores it to it's
healthy condition, affording quick re
lief and cure after short continuance.

points n Good Housekeeplng.

A woman who looks well to the ways
of her household should know how long,
under ordinary circumstances, certain
supplies, such as ten, coffee, butter,
sugar and coal should last. 1t is by
no means proof of niggardly house
wife to do so, but it is her duty to her
self and family to know what use is
made of those articles which she pro-
vides. This duty may be done SO tact
fully that no maid could dream of tax
ing offense, or in a way to antagonize.
When accounts are kept, that is, when
the mistress writes down in her order
ing book the exact quantity she wishes,
with the date of the order, the matter
is easily managed.-N Y. Post.

Puget sound timber goes everywhere,
even into the mGsts of the fleet yachts

point of most interest to the people Of
this region is that the great srars of

from which the nasts of the Defender

Washington annually sends out at

and even to the Kimberly diamond

The Bicycle Parade.

Friday evenings event was the IL
Illuminated bicycle parade, and the
thousands of people who wit
messed it were unanimous in pro-
uouncing it pretty sight. The num-
Der of wheels in line was not up to the
expectation, but many of them were
very tastefully decorated, and all car
ried Chinese lanterns on frame work,
surmounted by flag. The parade
went off very satisfactorily. Several
members of the Century club led,
and the published line of march was
followed, large portion of it being
in the serpentine order, which was
very pretty.
The arches and other illuminations
on Front street were lighted, and the
street had a most beautiful appear
ance. The arches were very pretty,
with their innumerable lights. Red
and blue fire was burned at intervals
during the parade, and long after the
line Of march was completed the
crowds continued to promenade Front
street, admiring the many public and
private Examinations, which were in
great prOtusion and variety.

! he Grafton.

A large crowd gathered on the
grounds of d. L. Clements and Gen.
Baker at 1880 o'clock, where a
speakers stand had been erected, and
seats for 1000 people provided. Each
band played one selection, and then
Gen. Baker called the meeting to Or
der and after few preliminary
words announced the program.
Prayer was offered by Rev. l.. w.
Beattie, and the Declaration of INDIE
pendencere by Rev.F. M. Washburn.
Capt. Henry A. Castle, of St. Paul,
gave the oration, and it was mastery
in all respects. He is gifted orator,
while the thought expressed was
patriotic to a degree. He reviewed
the different periods in the history of
the country, and paid tribute to
those who fought for the preservation
of the union in the civil war. He
spoke of the wonderful advances
made during the 120 years since the
United States declared their freedom,
and predicted a glorious future. He
referred to the labor troubles, the an
archists and foreign immigration. He
took bright view of the future, saw
no reason for class antagOnism, and
cOmplimented Senator Davis
very highly on his message to the
Duluth strikers. He said that the
period of depression is passing away.
He had faith that the people would
solve the financial problem in the
right way, and advocated the extern

and county. He criticised the un-

The Balloon Ascension.

Prof. Ward made balloon ascen-
sion at Tracy Saturday forenoon, and
returned to the city on the afternoon
train. He showed an apathy about
carrying out his engagement, and
clai med that there was a hole in his
balloon. The ascent was postponed
two hou,s, and the balloon was eX-
amined, but nothing found to be the
matter with it. At seven o'clock,
Mr.. Ward had made no move to in
fate his balloon, and Messrs. H. G.
Gerlach and G. Robel took hold
of the matter and pushed it along.
The balloon was inflated with hot air,
and the result was most successful
ascension and parachute leap. The
balloon went up some 1000 feet, and
Mr.. Ward landed a few hundred feet
east OF the edge of the bluff near the
Agency hill road The decent was
without accident, and Mr.. Ward on
alighting dotted his hat and bowed to
the picnicers who were on the hill.
The ascension and decent were as sue
cessful as ever occurred, and were one
of the most interesting feature Of
the day. Prof. Ward received S75 for
his work in Mankato and 800 at
Tracy. He returned to Sioux City
later. The ascension took place from
the G. & n. w. grounds, and was wit
messed by thousands at that point.

The Crowds.

Mankato, or Southern Minnesota,
never saw such multitude of people
gathered together before. The streets
have been crowded on circus days in
the past, but no such crowds ever as
sembled as surged back and forth
through the streets all day Saturday
and long into the night. From sun
rise nuntil noon every road leading
into the city was lined with teams
coming into the city, bringing entire
families, or young fellows and their
best girls. while several hundred rode
in on their bicycles. The southern
part of the county turned out large
share of it's population. The hotels
and eating houses had all that they
could do to feed the crowd, and it is a
wonder where all the horses and
wagons were placed.
The special train on the Omaha had
eight coaches and all were filed, the
number of people getting off being
estimated at 500. The regular trains,
including the one from the north de-
spite st. Peters celebration, brought
in several hundred more.
The Milwaukee's special train
brought in 232, of whom 50 got on at
Wells. The regular trains on that
road brought in enough to bring the
number up to 400.
The trains on the Chicago & North
western road all had extra coaches at
tached, and brought in 300 to 400 peo-
pie, it is estimated.
There was a celebration at Water
vile and Faribault, but the Minnea-
polls & lSt. Louis road brought in
from 100 to 200 people. So many of
these remained over Sunday that
two coach loads went out this morn
ing.
Conservative estimates place the
number of strangers who were in the
city during the day at $1,000 to l5,-
900, and in addition to these, more
than half of Mankato's population
was on the streets.

The game of ball Friday afternoon
between the Mankato and Austin
teams resulted ia a victory for the
former by score of ten to eight.
Partridge and Jones were the battery
for Mankato.
The game Saturday forenoon result
ed in the defeat of the Mankato team
by score of eight to four. Phillips
was in the box, and Often behind the
bat.
The great game OF the series was
Saturday afternoon. The1e were
1920 paid admissions. and the crowd
filled the grand stand and bleachers
to overlooking an hour before the
game was called, and spread out in
two great wings around the diamond.
1t was twice as large a crowd as ever
before attended any bali game in
| Mankato.
Before the game was called, Par
fridge, Hopkins and Mr.. Sandberg,
principal of the Garden City school,
ran hundred yards foot race, which
was easily won by Partridge.
The game was interesting through
out. In the first inning, O'Donnell
, made home run on fly to
far center, and the third man
to bat for the strangers sent the ball
over the right fence and scored. In
the fifth Messerly made three bag
ger and let Page in. The Austin Sec
ond Oaseman was injured by a col
lision with Partridge, but was able to
take his place in the next inning. In
the eigth, Messerly made a three base
hit. The score stood as follows:

The Bicycle Races.

From 1000 to 1000 people attended
the bicycle races Friday afternoon.
The races were a great success, there
being twenty-one entries, the most of
whom were strangers young men
from different parts of the North
west who have won more or less note
in racing circles, and some of whom
have been taking in the racing Cir
cult. The strangers captured most
of the prizes, but the Mankato riders
made them work for their honors and
won few of the prizes themselves.
Falls occurred in two of the races,
when some of the riders got punched
together, but Arthur B. Wilson, of
LIE Mars, Iowa, was the only one in
jured, as stated Saturday in these
columns.
The winners in the races were

The events of the day closed with a
magnificent display of fireworks, on
the brow of the hill opposite the

of view was occupied by the specta-

enter tainment of an hour and quar-
ter. The fireworks were sufficient in
quantity and variety, and were set off
in the most artistic manner, so that
the scene was beautiful beyond des-
cription. There were several set
pieces, the first being the words,
