Columbia Post No. 706, of Chicago,
has issued a circular outlining the
itinerary of the post to the encanp-
ment. The post will reach st. Paul in
special car at 2:30 o'clock today. 1t

regiment band. In the evening the
post will serenade the newspaper Of
fees and will be entertained at the
Commercial club.
The Commercial club has issued the
following circular. ITO all members
of the organization: Every member
Of the club is earnestly requested to use
his influence to induce those who have
not already decorated their homes and
places of business, to do so without
delay. We realize that many may not
be able to make large display, but
that is not expected. A one cent flag
will answer the purpose If that is all
that can be afforded. Every house In
the city should have the colors out
We trust that every member will feel
individually responsible to take up this
work at once and urge his friends and
neighbors to DO So
Those who ATTENDED the fire works
spectacle "Pornpeii'' on Saturday night
enjoyed one feature of fire works sell
dom given and never seen here before.
Manager Price will repeat it each eve
ming this week, as 1t seemed to be the
one receiving greatest applause, the
water fire works. How is 1t done?
Why does not the water put out the
fire? One sees a workman step to the
edge Of the lake, light piece which he
holds in his hand and then deliberately
throw it into the water. Yet it does
not go out. Rather, it begins to skim
around over the surface, throwing
out millions OF beautiful stars and
bright colors and dances hither and
thither over the water In the dazzling
effect reflected from the clear water
the audience fail to notice the little
blocks or floats on which the piece Is
fastened and 1t is moved around by the
same force that the small boys niger
chaser" dances around on the ground.
This feature Of the display will occur
each evening. but the large set pieces
are changed. Tomorrow night will be
G. A. R. night with appropriate de-
signs.
The Sixth street illumination was
tested last night and proved satisfac-
tory. From the foot of that thorough
fare to the junction Of ST. Peter and
Market streets there have been sus-
pended, at intervals of about two feet,
small incandescenE lights on both sides
of the street. On the top of Conovers
Music store, at the junction of the
three streets named. there has been
placed by the. citizens committee
powerful search light. About o'clock
last night the ,eleetric current was
turned into the myriad of small lights
and the monster search began to play
its powerful rays not only on Sixth
street, but over the entire city as well.
For moment those who were crossing
or who were about to cross Sixth street
stopped, as If shocked, the illumination
was so sudden and SO powerful. It
was so light that the proverbial needle
in haystack, could readily have been
discovered. The stationary and &C
customed arc lights, pendant before
business houses, were scarcely notice
able. The innumerable small lights
twinkled like the countless stars In the
heavens; only they did give light. And
although the arc lights were, to the
incandescent lights, like a rush light
to a candle, yet these same brilliant
lights were to the search light what the
candle is to double gasoline burner
The rays of the search light would be
cast down Sixth street one moment,
lighting up that thoroughfare 30 that
