LOST OPPORTUNITY.

Walter Hogan, manager of the Fergus
Falls wooden mills, was in the city last
week on his way back from st Cloud
whittier he went on business Mr. Ho-
gan is doing fine manufacturing bust
ness, and meeting with all the success TO
which a thorough knowledge OF the
business, tireless energy and the strictest
integrity entities him. He is running
mig hit and day, employing fourteen hands
and his pay roll amounts to $500 a
week In addition TO this he pays
$500 a year rent, and consumes 800
cords of wood per year. This IN very
general way will show what little
more encouragement extended to him
would have secured to this city, at the
time he was anxious to locate here.
He needed but little more assurances
than he received to have given Sank
Centre the benefit Of his enterprise.
Mr.. Hogan is, in many respects, a re-
markable man. Modest in manner and
bearing, he is thorough master OF the
business of wooden goods manufacture
ing in It's every detail. He is turning
out fifty XII nds of cloth and FIVE STYLES OF
blankets, and is having trade, not onl.
from every section of the state, but from
both Dakotas, Montana, Iowa and
Wisconsin,. The following letter from
one who as given the product ofhis mill
a thorough and sco1 ching test, willindi-
cate what he is DOING:
MINNESOTA STATE REFoRMAToRY,
ST. CLOUD. MINI, FEB. 20. '96.
Walter Hogan, Proprietor Fergus
Falls Wooden Mil:
Dear Strive have received the last
bill of cloth ordered from your mills. 1t
is entirely satisfactory, as has been all
the cloth and yarn bought of YOU the
past year. We wish to thank you tor
yoar successful efforts to make us just
what we wanted boil, as to quality and
color, and should be pleased to send you
our orders for what goods we need in
your line in the future,
VIM. E LEE.
Supt. Minnesota State Reiormatory.
AND the business is nits infancy, the
first year just closing having been one
of peculiar trials. One of the secrets OF
his success has been in the Thorough
knowledge he possesses of coloring
woods. not only, tor durability but for
pleasing effects. He is rapidly building
up business which is bound to expand
until it becomes one Of the notable in
dustriaI enterprises of central Minneso-
TIA, Mr., Hogan has richly earned the
reward in store for him. and all who
know him will rejoice at his brilliant
prospects.

A LETTER in behalf OF the nomination
of Gov. Clough, written by Senator Mel
SON, has been extensively published
throughout the state. Why it should
excite any surprise is surprising. Gov:
Clough bent every energy to compress
the election OF Senator Nelson. and the
Senator would be decidedly open to the
charge of ingratitude if he failed to sup
port Mr.. Clough in his laudable ambi-
ton. The HERALD hassnothing to say
of the tone OF the letter, but its purport
is just what could be expected. Senator
Nelson is a friend of Governor Clough,
and does not hesitate to say so.

seeks the defeat of MIR. Bryan on purely
patriotic grounds. He is not Jealous OF
his beauty. he fears not to meet him I'm

the advantage of youth. and possibly, to
some tastes. In personal pulchritude.
Thoughtful men Will realize that Coch-
ran has FASTENED fondly home to save
his country. without a dream OF envy or
revenge.
NO! Hon. Rourke Cochran is acting
from the highest motives. He sees the
country of his love in danger and he
>leaps into the imminent deadly breach.
We all remember, how, four years ago,
he saw that country's dignity and well
fare impcried by the prospect of Mr..
Clevcland's nomination, and we all re-
member with what torrent and resound-

him to be less potent and vocifcrous
