in New Ulm.

Bridgefort may we'll be called the
greatest corset producing center in the
United States, for it is fact that more
of these articles are made here than in
any other city in the country. The old
est and largest Of these concerns is that
of Langdon, Batcheller & Co., whose fac
tory is located at the corner of Myrtle
and Railroad AYES. This firm was es-
tablished in 1856 and the factory now
occupied was built in 1876. Prior to To-
eating in Bridgeport all goods were man
ufactured in Paris and London with
headquarters in New York city. BY this
it will be seen this firm is the oldest
firm of hand made corset manufacturers
in the Z. S., and has grown to be one of
the most important Of Bridgeport's in
dustrial enterprises. During the Civil
war the products Of the firm were manu-
factured in London and Paris and we're
distributed from the New York office.
The firm originally started with from 60
to rs hands while at the present time
the full force comprises 1000 skilled
operatives who receive in the form of
wages 81 900 day, while nearly 5000
yards Of cloth i, used in the production
of their daily output of corsets of all
styles and grades which require from
1000 to 5000 boxes in which to pack

Beaver Falls
the Winner.
Close of the Renville County Seat
War.
The Supreme Court Denies the Petition for
Re-argument in the Contest Be-
tween Olivia and Beaver Falls.
Citizens Of Olivia Erect Hotel in Order
to Help Support the Honor of Be-
ing the County Seat.

The Supreme court has denied the Pc
tition for rehearing in the Renville coun-
ty seat case, whereby it is sought to re-
move the county seat from Beaver Falls to
Olivia. At the county election, which oc-
Cured nearly year ago,those two towns
and Others were competitors for the hon.
or of being designated as the seat of gov
ernment. When the votes were count
ed it was found that sixty of them we're
unintelligible, and they were all thrown
out and not even counted as ballots in
the determination of the basis of plural
ity. Under this ruling the town of O.
livia was declared victorious, and when
the matter was taken into the district
court the judges of election were upheld
in their ruling.
The question was taken to the supreme
court, however, ana by that tribunal the
unintelligible votes were considered as
ballots in the determination of the basis of
plurality, although not counted as votes
for any particular town. By this decis-
ion the county seat was rcn'o'"d some
months ago from Olivia to B. 49,. Falls.
This controversy has arouse. much To-
cal interest and caused considerable feel
Ing in the towns mentioned. When the
judges of election declared il favor of
Olivia, which is located on the railroad,
citizens of that place erected handsome
hotel and prepared to uphold the digni-
ty of a county seat, and they are greatly
disappointed at being shut off. Beaver
Falls is two miles from any railroad line,
and at present has 10 such pretentious
hotel Accommodations for travellers as O.
livia can boast. The court house is
frame structure, and tie county officers
live together in a building which they c.
rccted for that purpose.

Bill Nye's History.

e;: es8&&$3 $.::;s;:s: 3$$&#.&&&& ~ :$$ :;s:.: : :s:a
One of the last things that Bill Nye
did was to write humorous history of
England. In this he finds opportunity to
say many quaint and laughable things
and we publish here a few extracts:
England, even before Christ, as now,
was sort of money center, and thither
came the Phoenicians and Carthaglnians
after their TIN.
These early Britons were suitable on
ly to act as ancestors; aside from chat,
they had no good points. They dwelt
in mud huts thatched with straw. They
had no currency and no ventilation-no
drafts in other words.
Caesar first came to Great Britain on
account of a bilious attack. On the way
across the channel violent storm came
up. The great empero: and pantata be-
lieved he was drowning, so that in an
instant's time everything throughout his
whole lifetime required to him cs he went
down,-especially his breakfast. -
Caesar later on made more invasions;
one of thsm for the purpose of returning
his tt am and fogging Druid with whom
he had disagreed religously on former
trip. (He had also bought Lis team of
the Druid.)
The Druids largely lived in the woods
in summer and in debt during the winter.
They worshiped almost everything that
had been left out over night, and their
motto was ''Never do anything unless
you feel like it very much indeed.''
Religious questions were even then as
hotly discussed as in latter times, and
Caeser could not enjoy society very much
for five or six days
At Stonehenge there are still relics of
stone temple which the Druids used
as a place of idolatrous worship and as
sassination. On Gibbet day people
came for many miles to see the exercises
and Garry home few outlets of intimate
friends.
After this Rome sent over great feder-
al appointees to soften and refine the peo-
pie. Among them came Gen. Agricola
with new kind of seed corn and kind
ness IN his heart. He taught the bare
footed Briton to go out to the pump and
:,athe his chapped and soil-kissed feet
and wipe them on the grass before retir-
ing, thus Introducing one OF the refine
ments of Rome in this cold and barbarlc
cline.

found it necessary to erect an additional
building 13Ox4O with a wing 37x32 con-
Meeting with the central wing of the
main building. The entire basement and
first floor will be devoted exclusively to
the storage of manufactured goods. The
entire plant covers over an acre of land
and has about six acres of floor space.
The firm arc now putting an Otis eleva-
tor IN the new building end have also
found it necessary to add another boiler
of 100 horse power. In point of equip
ment the plant represents in its entirety
the most complete of any in the world.
The majority Of the machines used in the
various departments are the fruits Of
their own inventive genius, research and
experience, many of which embody in
their construction the highest type of
mechanical skill, and are almost human
like in their operation. They are the in
vention of Mr.. George G. Batcheller and
!, Mr.. Littlcjohn, the master mechanic of
the establishment and it is due to their
skill in the invention of machines for
! the production of the various parts of
corsets, that the art Of corset manufac-
turing in this country has attained such
world wide celebrity. The different ma
chimes used comprise multiple machines,
which are capable of running from one
to twelve seams at one operation. These
machines are inter -changeable, any num-
Der OF needless from one tc twelve being
used. They are used chiefly for sewing
the tapes, and for covering the steel stays.
The mnchiLe used for Tossing is one of
their own invention and the work which
it.produces is both remarkable and in
genious. The laundry department is one
OF the most complete in point of equip
ment of any known. In this department.

port a branch factory is located on 1451h

conception of the magnitude of the bus
mess done by this company can only be
shown by stating that over 800 tons of
steel is used annually in the stays alone
while the waste material in the form of
cloth cuttings amounts to over 2 tons a

DONE UP AT HOnE
Prof. McCleary Won't Garry His Own
County.
At Least That's What Harry S. Kennedy
Says.
Congressional Campaign in the Second
Waxing Warm.

The congressional campaign in the
Second district is just now furnishing
matter for considerable political gossip.
Mr.. McCleary, the present member, has
been twice chosen. At the time of his
first election he was teacher in the Man
kato Normal school, and had made most
excellent record in that capacity. Since
taking his seat Mr.. McCleary has devel-
ored unexpected talent as politician,
and his ambition has more than kept
pace with his growth. Two years ago, a.
gainst the protest and advice of his best
friends, he permitted himself to be used
as a tool in the senatorial fght-an er-
ror of judgment that he has since ac-
knowledged and repented in sackcloth
and ashes.
Mr. McCleary expectedt to have no oppo-
sition for a nomination for third term
at Washington until few weeks ago,
when George W. Somerville, of Sleepy
Eye, prominent attorney, SHE'D his cas-
tor into the ring. The McCleary contin-
gent laughed at the idea of Somerville
daring to aspire to the seat in congress
filed by the Mankato statesman. The
Republican newspapers of the Second
united in Il chorus Of depreciation of Som
ville's capacity, and it really appeared
that third term for Mr.. McCleary was
a foregone conclusion.
Now it is different. Ed. Weaver of
Mankato, president of the State Agricul-
tural Society, mayor of the city and an
all around hustler, has entered the lists
in earnest, and seems to he standing the
McCleary contingent on their heads. H.
:. Kennedy, of Mankato, prominent
business man, and formerly sturdy sup
porter of the sitting member, was seen
in St. Paul yesterday. Asked as to the
situation in the congressional contest he
said: 81 am somewhat surprised myself
at the way in which Mr.. Weaver's friends
are wiping up the earth with McCleary.
Why, do you know, that every Republi-
can paper in Blue Earth county, with
the single exception of the Mankato Free
Press, is supporting Weaver?' I am
somewhat surprised that the Free Press
supports him, too, for only a few short
months ago Hunt was more opposed to
McCleary than anybody. He was dissat-
isfed, you remember, because Mack al
lowed himself to be hypnotized by the
anti -Washburn gang in the senatorial
fight. But now Hunt is using all the
power of his paper to give his ancient
enemy third term. ss.,- ..s...
Eyes, Weaver will carry Blue Earth
county. lie is a good politician, a very
able fellow, popular with all classes and
he is making the fight of his life. Just
why Weaver wants to go to congress /
do not know, but he does want to very
badly, according to appearances, and
what he wants his friends want also. In
my judgment, if McCleary secures a
third term nomination he will have to
secure it with the Blue Earth delegation
dead against him, and as he lives in Man
kato that would seem to be hardly prob
able. Minneapolis Times.
