JOLLYING THE COMMITTEE.
(St. Peter Free PreSs.)


For ingenuity Of devising an attrac-
tion that will insure large audience
for public speaker the efforts of the
managers of the McCleary campaign
in Redwood county eclipse anything
ever offered in that line. Last week,
Thursday, Congressman McCleary
was billed for political speech in
Redwood Falls. The committee in
charge, deeply imbued with the re-
sponsibility of their position, we're de-
termined to furnish large audience
the distinguished speakers, regardless
of labor and expense. Their scheme
was as unique as it proved to be sue
cessful and is herewith recommended
to other similar committees as sure
drawing card on like occasions. AS a
matter of fact, when the plan Of the
committee was made public it was so
immensely favored that it became "a
serious question what to do with the
big crowd that was sure to be present
upon that night" And what was the
great attraction that caused such emo
ton among the multitude? The COM
mittee lay it to the brilliancy of the
great expounder of gold monometal-
lism-McCleary while few of the
mischievous silver men attributed it
to the superb free lunch served at a
vacant building and the three bands
and glee club furnishing music and
singing for the occasion. At any rate
they got the crowd, the crowd dis
posed of the lunch and McCleary had
the satisfaction of addressing large
audience. Hurray for the political
free lunch!

walls throughout the day. Further at
fractions will be tug-of-war between
the strong men of the city and the
strong men of the country. The form
or are getting their muscular powers
into shape for the occasion while the
latter boys are confident that their
muscles are already in good enough
shape to pull their city cousins all ov-
er the principal streets of the city.
This contest will be an exciting one
and at the same time will cultivate a
friendly feeling for rivalry between
the farm and the anvil.
The proverbial creased pig-the
animal that caused so much excite
ment at the Fourth of July celebra-
ton year ago last 4th of July, is
again to make his appearance, just for
the benefit of the smooth young men
of town and country. He will have a
great deal more grease on him than
he did the last time. He will also
have more of a start and the boys
will have to rustic if they hold on to
him.
The usual bicycle races between the
speedy riders and the slow riders, be
tween the lawyers and the newspaper
men, between the kids and others, all
for purses, will occur on that day.
There will be one or more foot races,
and the committee is attempting to
get up a lOO-feet fat mans foot race
for the occasion. It is believed that
the fat men of the town, such as Capt.
W. ?. Huntington, Maj. M. E. Powell,
F. W. Philbrick, Jos. Tyson and Judge
Nels Lewis will enter. Corpulent
farmers will also be asked to join. All
of the smaller contests, such as egg
races, potato races, and the like will
come off on that day.
> Farmers are respectfully urged to
bring in their produce on that day.
Stock, in particular, is wanted, Emil
Schmahl and Nichol Bros. are making
special arrangements to purchase all
of the stock, such as cattle, hogs and
sheep that will be offered for sale on
that day, and they have promised the
committee that they will pay an ad-
vance on market quotations for that

A ship load Of Agateware
would be a big lot for one
store even in the United
States; it's a big lot for Homo
lulu and more than we receiv-
ed, but what we did get on
two sailing vessels would as
tonish the people if they saw
all the articles in one pile.
Our stock cf Agateware is
selected from "Firsts" not
"Seconds;" the quality is the
best that can be made and we
sell it at the piece you used to
pay for the second quality.
This means a saving of 33aa
per cent, because the life of a
first-class price of Agateware
is a third longer than one Of
the second class.
When buying for the holi-
day season there is more
pleasure in receiving a useful
present than in a bauble.
Every housewife loves good
China and there is nothing
more beautiful than a set of
Haviland. We have a COM
pIete stock of this ware and
sell it in full sets or single
pieces so that If you want to
ill up a set that has been
broken or purchase a dozen
plates or course set you can
be accommodated.

His Letters DenouncfnE the Funding
Bill scheme Seized.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 5-Mayor SUI
tro was furious when he heard of the seiZ-
Ire by post office authorities of communi-
cations addressed ny him to Representa-
tives ard Senators at Washington warning
them of the schemes of Huntington TO CONF
pass the passage of the funding bill His
anger was occasioned not so much by the
stoppagc of the letters from the fact
that he had not been notified by the post
master of the seizure. He considered that
the holding of the letters had caused the
loss of valuable time in the fight against
the funding bill, ard that he should have
been told that the department considered
the envelopes objectionable, so that he
might have devised other means of placing
them in the hands of the members of Con-
gress.
The letters referred to were sent out from
San Francisco, and contained literature de-
