wENTwoRTH's FOOT BALL TEAM.
The Men Are in Hard Training and
Will Put Up II Stiff Game
October IL.

as yet had n great deal OF training. is get
ting dow into good condition, and is
able TO do some pretty fast work, and
when they meet Midland College, Sstur-
day, October 16, they will put up one OF
the best games ever played in this city.
w. NJ. A. has always had a good foot
ball team. Their team last year was VIC
torious in nearly every game they played,
and were only defeated in the game they
played with the University team.
The first and second teams played a
match game Monday afternoon, and both
sides made a very creditable showing.
The second team did some very clever
work, and were as plucky a lot of players
as were ever gotten together, but they
were not able to do anything with the big
team, who ran up a large score against
them without allowing them to make a
touchdown. The second team deserves
praise for the work they showed against
such tremendous odds. Thev played good
ball, but were a little too light for their
opponents.
Ormsby, Gille and Russell were among
the best men on the second team, and
their playing showed the proper spirit,
but they lacked the weight to back them
up.
The first team is practicing hard and
when the Midland College men come here
to pay them Saturday they will find they
nave a hard game before them and will
have to put up the game of their lives if
they keep our men from defeating them.
The line on our team is an exceedingly
strong one and the Midland's will make
about as much progress trying to butt
their way through a stone wall as they
will bucking the line.

Clarence Chandler was arrested this
afternoon on complaint of one of the
mattresses at The Saulpaugh on the
charge of indecent exposure Of person,
made behind the hotel yesterday and
today. He was accused OF a similar
offense year ago, but escaped prose
cutiOn. This time it is not likely to
90 so easy with him in case the otfense
is proved. Chandler recently served
a sentence in jail for abusing his wife,
who is now sueing him for divorce.
Chandler is not drinking man, and
had not been drinking today. He is
considered to be little weak in his
upper story. He will probably be
brought before the court tomorrow

NELSON..HALLMAN.

An unusually joyous event occurred

was the occasion of the marriage of
Mr.. Alfred J. Nelson and Miss Elnora
Hallman. A.large gathering of over
one hundred invited guests and rela-
tives witnessed the ceremony. Rev.
Geo. r. Hair was the officiating
clergyman. The groom is well

man and holds a responsible position
in the Patterson Mercantile Co. in
this city. The bride is an amiable
and accomplished young lady, the
daughter of Mr.. G. f. Mailman, and is
held in high respect by her large cir
Gle of acquaintance. A lavish wed
ding supper was provided.
The high esteem in which the bride
and groom are held wassevidenced by
the very many valuable and useful
presents, the gifts of intimate friends.
Friends in Connecticut wired their
congratulations. Mr.. and Mrs. Nelson
left on this mornings early train for
the east, and after brief trip they
will make this city their home. Their
numerous friends wish for them long

MEETING WITH SUCCESS.
Stock i'm Rev. Daniel Reeds Air
Ship Going Up.

Rev. Daniel Reed, of Eagle Lake,
was in the city yesterday and today
securing signatures to his petition to
Congressman McCleary to introduce
bill providing that the government
shall purchase an air ship of him for
$4,000, and subsequent airships
ordered by congress for $4,000
each. He had no difficulty in secur-
ing many influential signers. All of
the county officers appended their
signatures, and Mayor Pau and such
attorneys as were seen signed the
petition. Harrison Schmltt, having
signed base ball document once,
read the petition through twice be-
fore his name went below it. 1t is
understood that all who sign this
petition can have free ride on the
first air ship. Elder Reed expects to
present his petition to Congressman
McCleary on the latter's coming visit
to this city.
Those who desire to take little
stock in the enterprise can get in on
the ground floor now, as Mr.. Reed has
limited number of shares to dis
pose of. Some little time ago, to OBJ
tain the necessary funds to obtain his
patent, he drew up paper signing
away half interest in the patent in
Minnesota to those who subscribed
tor shares of stock at SIS each. He
secured some twenty subscribers at
Eagle Lake. The stock was not paid
up sstock, but Mr.. Reed expects that
it will be paid up before long, Most
of the subscribers are experiencing
the effects of the close times, but
they have assured Mr.. Reed that
when general prosperity returns they
will hope to pay what they are owning
on their stock. Some have been able
to make payments of one dollar,
which shows their faith in the success
of the air ship and in the value of
their stock. Since Elder Reed has
begun active operations toward in.
teresting Congress in his plan, the
stockhas advanced several,points, and
it is expected that it will soon be in
active demand on the market.

commodities distributed equal to our

commodities distributed equal to our
most prosperous year. with value
but ten per cent lower; and May, l
think, will show up better still. This
shows wonderful recuperation after
such business paralysis as the last
four years, and indicates that very
soon production and distribution will
pass all previous records.
"Our hosiery sales for May, with
fewer men on the road, were 30 per
cent greater than last year, and other
industries report larger sales, while a
very encouraging feature is the
fact that merchants are paying more
promptly than ever before.
"Some of these things are at
tributable to the fact, for it is
fact, that the savings of this
country are greater 10 the aggregate
than ever before. Sharp economies
have been practiced by thousands
these last years. and more has been
saved, by some from necessity. and by
others from hearing the cry of hard
times The savings banks show
this, and the condition of farmers.
Bank officers of this city, and the
whole state, will tell you that far less
money was borrowed this year to pay
taxes than ever before.
'The increase in manufacture and
distribution indicates returning con-
fidence, and as that increases, this in
crease will become very great, because
these boarded savings will make it
possible. Interest will be low and
money very abundant, so that enter
prise will be greatly fostered.
"The fact that the price of silver is
more than II per cent lower than a
year ago, and the price of wheat over
II per cent higher, is showing the
fallacies of the whole free silver con-
tention in allaying the fears of the
timld, while the condition of the
United State treasury is the strongest
kind of indication that confidence is
returning. There is no longer any
grabbing for gold. We shall soon have
stable tariff law that will give con-
fidence to the manufacturers, while
the utterances of President Mckinley
and Secretary Gage and the tradi-
tional ability of the Republican party
to grapple with financial questions as
exigencies arise is assuring capital that
such currency and banking laws will
be passed and executed, as will assure
financial stability. Yes, the evidences
of returning prosperity are most
abundant"

Ringing Bros Big Show More than

The fact that Ringing Bros

hibits in Mankato Saturday July 3rd,
represents an actual investment of
So, 700 900, and that the daily expenses
of this huge travelling exposition
aggregate over S7,400, constitute in
themselves incontrovertible proof that
this is now beyond all comparison the
grandeSt and most colossal amuse-
ment institution ever organized,
either IN this or any other country.
| For several years past, Ringing Bros
great exhibition has been recognized
throughout the length and breadth of
| the land, not only as the largest and
| best arenic institution in America,
! but it has also won signal triumph
as distinctively new departure in
amusement enterprises. No enumera-
tion Of tigureS-nO mere list OF
wondrous features could give an
adequate idea of the resources of the
show-itS overshadowing immensely,

ness of it's mammoth hippOdrOme
paviliOnS, its army OF people, it's
dazzling glOries Of cleaning gold and
scintillating color, and its kaleidos-
copic array of strange peoples and still
stranger rare wild beasts. 1t is only
by comparison with its own former
greatness that it's present stupendOus
magnitude can be appreciated, it is
only when it is realized that Ringing
Bros. circus has twice as many cars,
twice as many elephants, twice the
number of huge pavillOnS, twice as
| many people, twice as many superb
performers, twice as large a racing
course, and seating capacity for twice
as many people as it had last year,
that the magnitude of this wonderful
enterprise can be even approximately
understood And then, such circus,
such menagerie, such a beWlldeTlng
display of rare and costly features.
The five double trains used to trans
port the paraphernalia of the show
represent loading space of 100
ordinary cars: the % reason-glfted
elephants, running the gamut from
the tiniest Of baby pachyderms to the
hugest of elephantine mammoths,
comprise the biggest herd of
elephants ever before seen in CAP
tivity: the three hundred arenic
specialists embrace the very flower of
the amusement world. the pick of the
| famous arenas Of the world:the scores
of dens of rare wild beasts represent
| fortunes, and even precious lives,
expended in securing them in their
native jungles: every carved and gold
illumined cage, dazzling the eye with
| it's glittering splendOr, cost ransom;
every gorgeous triumphal car of the
glorious new street carnival is a
| triumph of art and tribute to the
artists inspiration every one of the
400 beautiful horses is an equine de-
light. The performances are given
in five arenas, in three rings, upon
two big stages, on a quarter mile
hyppodrome track, and in the vast
dome of the largest tent ever con-
structed. Ringing Bros. circus will
be cordially welcomed to Mankato,
where it's worth is known and
appreciated.
