st. Paul should be proud of the very en-
v1able reputation 1t gained for itself last
week; AS entertainers It's citizens are ex-
celled by none and equaled by few. Such
was the general verdict of the thousands
from all over the country. We are proud of
the fact that st. Paul is in Minnesota, and
we are proud to be resident Of the state

Citizens Of st. Paul bent every energy to
entertaining their guests last week. Along
the line of parade strangers were invited into
the beautiful lawns where they could get
good view OF passing events and find rest.
Everybody kept open house during the week.

the G. A. r. encampments Wednesday fully
$4,000 veterans were in line. making the
most imposing sight ever seen in the state.
The crowd was well taken care of, only the
street and steam car service was wholly in
adequate.-Anoka Union.
The small amount Of accidents, compared
with the large amount of people that visited
st. Paul encampment week, is truly remark
able. The street railways were admirably
handled, and although they carried thous-
ands, but few accidents occurred, with no
fatalities.-St Peter Tribune.
Both st. Paul and Minneapolis did them
selves proud last week. They furnished en-
tertainment to a million or more people and
the attractions were all stars. When the
two towns pull together they can outrival any
city we know of-except Redwood Falls, and
Redwood Falls is always ready to help them

ST. Paul did herself and the state credit in
entertaining the veterans so royalty but it Is
claimed that the greatest thanks are due to
the st. Paul ladies for making the event

People returning from the Twin Cities say
that st. Paul and Minneapolis are to be given
great credit for the satisfactory way in
which they have handled the immense crowds
which have taxed the accommodations pro-
vided for them. From all accounts the past
week has been one which the two cities will
not soon forget.-Alexandria Republican.
state by the manner in which she enter
tanned the national encanpment Of the G.. A.
r. Since the review of the Grand Army at
Washington. upon the close OF the war, there
has been no meeting of the old veterans which
has attracted much attention or created
so much enthusiasm. 1t seems like great
patriotic response against the plottings Of
a few traitorous leaders to destroy those
institutions which lie at the very foundation
of American government. In this hour Of
danger the mind naturally reverts to the de-
tenders of the country in that other crisis,
and the deep love of country that throbs In
every patriotic breast goes out in reverence
to the remnant of those who defended it then.
To those who attended it the demonstration
will, as long as they shall live, be one Of
the most cherished memories.-Chatfeld Dem
