How 1t Turned Out.
The Sunday school needed money,
and Mr.. Smart, the superintendent,
had new way Of G. ting it.
He proposed giving each boy half a
crown. At the end of month the prin-
cipal, together with what it earned,
was to be returned to him.
The scheme. was good, but it didn't
work quite as Mr.. Smart had antici-
pated.
The fourth Sunday found the superin-
tendent ready to audit the profit and
loss accounts, and he commenced with
Johnnies class.
How have you done, Johnnie?"
'My half crown has earned another
one, said Johnnie, with the air of'one
having an option on halo.
Good said the superintendent.
''Not only is Johnnie coed boy in
helping the school, but he shows bust
ness talent Doubling ones money in a
single month requires no common abil-
ity. Who can tell but what we may
have another budding Cresus among
us? Johnnie, you have done we'll. And
now, Thomas, how much has your half
crown earned?''
''Lost it, said Thomas.
"What, not only failed to earn any
thing, but actually lostp' said Mr..
Smart. "How was that?"

The Crowd.

Where die all the people come
from who choked up the sidewalks on
Front street? They came from miles
and miles in every direction. From
the first peep of dawn the rattle of
vehicles could be heard as they pour
ed in from every quarter. The trains
last evening brought in large contin-
gents of people who were anxious to
be on the ground early. The Saul
paugh had every room taken and
many of the dodgers had to double up.
The rooms at the Clifton House gave
out early, extra rooms were engaged
and taken, and twice as many could
have been filled. The Stahl house,
the City hotel, the Union house and
the other hostelries all had the same
story to tell.
The streets began to fill early this
forenoon, and crowds of strangers
walked back and forth along Front
street. The livery stables had all
they could care for in the way of
feeding teams. The trains this fore
noon were crowded with arrivals
from neighboring towns. Ask man
how many came from his town and he
would reply that there were so many
that he couldn't count them. The
streets resemble6 their appearance
on the Fourth of July, and it is esti-
mated that all most as many strangers
were in the city as then. The threat
ening appearance of the sky did not
seem to deter any from coming.
The public schools opened at eight
O'Clock this morning and closed at ten
for the day. Any attempt to remain
in session as usual would have result
ed in an almost general truancy,
and would have been down right
cruelty to those who remained.

light this morning from St. Paul in
forty-one cars, divided into a train of
three sections. These cars were
switched onto side track north of
the depot, and the work of unloading
commenced at once. 1t took some
time. to get the tent material, seats,
ETC., horses and paraphernalia out Of
the cars, but it was finally accom-
plished before the morning had ad-
vanced much. In a comparatively
short space of time, what was former
ly a desert waste hustled with life
and activity, covered with huge
tents, stamping horses, and people of
many nationalities and several races.
Military discipline prevailed and the
work of pitching the tents proceeded
with clock like regularity.

THE FAIR CLOSES.
Woodmen's Day at the Garden City
Exhibition.

The county fair at Garden City
closed Friday afternoon. Fri
day was the big day and the crowd
was fully as large as on the closing
day of previous fairs. The candidates
were out in force and it was one of
the greatest pleasures of the day to
see what warm affection they have
for the farmers. 1t was Woodlands
day, and the members of this great
insurance order were on hand in large
numbers. A picnic dinner was served
by the wives of the members of the
Garden City camp, which was greatly
enjoyed. There was a tug of war,
and other fun. The usual horse races
took place.
The exhibits in the various depart
ments were about on a par with pre-
vious years, and the fair as whole
was success.

Afternoon Performance.

The great tent covered amphithea-
tire was well filed this afternoon. The
grand review was the first thing, and
was opened by band of Ogallalla
Sioux galloping in from the far end
of the arena, circling and yelling,
startling in their hideous war paint.
Their chief, Flatiron, followed, was
saluted with yells, and took his place
at their head.
Then came the Arapahoes and their
chief, Flying Halk; the Brule Sioux,
with Black Fox as their chief; the
Cheyennes, under High Bear; the In
dian police, with Flying Eagle as
their chief. When all were in line,
old Rocky Bear, the war chief of
the Sioux nation, came in all alone,
distinguished from the others by his
clothing, which covered his entire
body. Next came the Arab cavalry,
swarthy and fierce looking. Then
three boy chiefs of the Sioux nation
rode like mad around the line and
wound up behind the warriors. Four
Sioux sQuaws rode in, grooming weird
refrain. Then one after another
came the detachments of troops,
French dragons, German cuirassiers,
Fifth Royal Irish lancers, Mexicans,
and lastly the Seventh cavalry, Gus
ter's old regiment. When all were in
line Buffalo Bill entered alone and
rode to the front amid cheers, bowed,
and introduced to the audience his
congress of rough riders of the
world" The horsemen advanced and
were soon whirling mass.
The rest of the performance was
fully as interesting. There was shoot
ing of all kinds, horse races, attack on
an emigrant train by Indians, Arab
acrobats, Mexican vaqueros with lasso
exhibited. There was the riding of
bucking ponies, attack on the old
Deadwood mail coach which was
driven out by Colorado Jack, with
Arizona John on top. BuffaloBill gave
an exhibition of shooting. Finally
there was buffalo hunt, attack by
Indians on settlers cabin, another
review of the troops and the show
was over.
There will be performance at
eight o'clock tonight. The full pro-
gram will be carried out. Tomorrow
the Wild West will show at Sheldon,
Iowa.

SCHOOL FINANCIAL REPORT.
An Excellent Showing for the Year
Ending Sept. 18th.

We published in Fridays issue
the annual financial report OF the
Mankato public schools. By it, we
notice that $19, 1862. so was paid out in
teachers salaries, So, O34. 43 in janitors'
salaries. S31245 for stationery and
supplies, Sill. O4 for fuel, Sl28.O2 for
printing and advertising, S149.41 for
insurance, $500 for notes at the
banks cancelled, 5000 for salary of
secretary, aud $685. for all other
purposes, making total amount
drawn on the current fund of $685.
099.5S.
The orders drawn on Tine special
fund were as follows: Library and
apparatus, S351.64; furniture and fix
lures, $248.7O; bond redeemed, $1,000;
interest paid, S1,620; additions to
buildings, $1,000; and repairs to
buildings, $72l.S2; making a total of
6,57S 16. This makes a total expendi-
ture of 500, 6S7.74.
The total receipts in the current
fund from all sources, including
money borrowed from banks, was
S44, 6S4.49, leaving balance on hand
of S11, 584.91. The receipts in the
special fund were S7,373.8S, leaving a
balance of S795.72. The total cash on
hand is S12, 3S0.63.
This is very good showing. The
schools of the city have been man.
aged in an economical manner, while
their efficiency has been maintained
at the highest point. If there is any
one thing that our people take espe-
cial pride in it is our public schools,
and the credit for their success
is due to the excellent members of
the school board and corps of teachers.

MRS. BROWN DEAD.
A Former Mankato Lady Dies at
TraCy,


Tracy.
Mrs. J. M. Halfhill received tele-
gram Friday morning announcing the
death at her home in Tracy at two
o'clock Friday of Mrs. Judge f.
S. Brown, formerly Miss Sue Gleason,
of this city. The funeral occurred
Saturday afternoon.
Mrs. Brown suffered from rheuma-
tism some years ago, which left her
with heart trouble, from which she
has long suffered. Her final illness
came upon her three weeks ago, since
which time she has been confined to
her bed, and for the past week her
friends have had no hope of her re-
covery. Her husband and two children,
little boy and girl, survive her.
The deceased resided in Mankato
for many years and graduated from
the Normal school. She was a
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. S. w. Glea-
son, and was highly accomplished, and
an excellent teacher for several years
before her marriage, which occurred
about five years ago. She possessed a
large circle friends in Mankato, Tracy
and elsewhere, and her death will
cause widespread sorrow. Her home
was happy one, and she was held in
the highest respect by all who knew
her. Her taking off in the prime of
life will be sad blow to her family,
who will have the sincere sympathy
of all in their affection.
