VERY UNLIKELY.


II is very unlikely that any
thing will be done by congress
TO prevent the disfranchisenent
of negroes in some of the South
ern States. Everybody agrees
that Federal elections bill is
not to be thought of. The sug-
geslion that the representatives.
of these States in congress be
reduced is not valuable.

NO CONCERT LAST NIGHT.


 Second Regiment Band Was on an Ex- cursion and Could Not Play on the Green.
 A large crowd collected on the green last night expecting to hear a band concert, but was doomed to disappoint- ment, as the band failed to show up. At 8 o'clock Janitor Schappa of the city hall, who had been out of town to attend funeral and had hurried home for that purpose, turned on the lights in the band stand and waited there for some time to keep boys out of the stand, expecting the band to appear every minute. The crowd, after waiting half an hour grew impatient, and some small boys to relieve their pent up feel- ings began to salute MT. Schappa with volleys of potatoes, carrots and other vegetables. He giving mp all hopes of the band appearing, and growing tired of the showers of bouquets more mate- rial than beautiful, finally turned out the lights and left for home. Mr Schap- pa stated that he had been requested to light up the band stand for a concert every Wednesday evening until fur ther notice. It was later learned last evening that the Second regiment band which was to have given the concert was playing on the St. Aloysius excur- sion.

The Old, Old Story.

A farmer who had purchased an
eighty-hve dollar bill of goods from a
travelling vender was in town yester-
day with his purchase. A leading
merchant fully examined the goods
which the man had purchased and
after doing SO asserted that the whole
bill could be duplicated for $50 here
at the highest retail prices, and if the
purchase was made of any one dealer
at one time no doubt considerable
discount would be given from that
figure.
Yet notwiths tanding this fact the
purchase of goods from travelling
vendors goes merrily on. Misrepre-
sentation in claiming that local mer-
chants are charging excessive profit,
smooth talk and other like methods
are inducing many honest, hard work
ing residents in the country to make
Investments which they are certain to
regret thereafter if hose who have
purchased do not do so already
Red Wing Republican.
Warnings against this class of ped
dlers cannot be too strongly drawn
nor too often repeated. AS the cold
weather sets in they are sure to be
around with their boasted articles
which, even if the goods should prove
what they are represented to be, will
fill Il house with goods not very much
needed. Such peddlers are nuisance
equal to the vendors of lightning rods
