BRANCHING OUT.
Lampert Lumber Co. Buys the
Hanson & Lampert Co.
Gets Five Yards and Votes to Increase
Its Capital Stock From $4,000
to SI5O,OO0.

The Lampert Lumber Co. held an
adjourned meeting Saturday evening
and unanimously adopted resolution
to increase the capital stock from
$50, 900 to Sl5O,OOO, to be paid up be-
fore Feb. 2lst. The number OF shares
is made 1,50O. The amended ar.
ticles ,of Incorporation will be filed
with the secretarysof state tomorrow.
This move is a result of the pur-
chase by the Lampert Lumber Co. of
the yards and business of the Hanson
and Lampert Co. Negotiations to
this end have been on foot for a
month past, but the deal was not
closed until last week. By the pur-
chase, the Hanson & Lampert Co.
goes out of business, and the Lampert
Lumber Co. secures five new yards,
located in Mankato, Sleepy Eye, San
born, Lamberton and Lake Benton.
The company now has thirteen yards
in all, the other eight being located
at LeSueur, St. Peter, Nicollet,
Mapleton, GAINESVILLE, Kinbrae, Water
vile and Bigelow. These thirteen
yards are all located in prosperous
towns. The Lampert Lumber Co. has
been doing a prosperous business, and
its many friends will be glad to know
of its latest move.

BEWARE OF COUNTERFEITS.

Within the past week a very dan
gerous counterfeit of the Window
two-dollar bill has appeared in several
cities of the state. It is an excellent
piece of work, and will pass current
anywhere except at the banks. There
are, however, some points by which
it may be detected when closely COM
pared with the genuine. The tex
ture of the paper used resembles very
closely that of the genuine, but is not
exactly the same, being SITTER and
and not so crisp. The whites of the
eyes in the portrait are indistinct and
blurred. The coIored stamp on the
face is usually little off-color. Be-
tween the points of the star about
the small figure two under the large
figure, two on the right-hand end OF
the back are four sharply defined scol-
lops in the genuine; but these scol-
lops are almost invisible on the coun-
terfeit.
Except for these defects, the bill is
almost perfect. 1t has been put in
circulation in large numbers, and the
makers have so far eluded the vigi-
lance Of the officials.

NOT UNANIMOUS.
No Gambling or Fakes at the
Next County Fair.
Officers of Blue Earth County Agricul
tural Society Meets and Lays Plans
for Next Fall.

The officers of the Blue Earth Coun-
ty Agricultural Society held a pro.
longed meeting at the Clifton House
Monday to make arrangements
regarding the county fair next fall
As it is not known when the state
fair will be held, no date was set for
the county fair.
Those present were President e. W.
Parker, Secretary S. M. Dickinson,
and Vice Presidents Crane, Jenkins,
Diamond, Arnold and Wise.
A motion to build a new eating hall
on the fair grounds at Garden City
was carried, and $75 was appropriated
for the purpose. Messrs. Crane, Ellis
and Jenkins were appointed a COM
mittee to contract for the construct
ion of this building.
1t was voted that the association
furnish hay for the exhibitors and
also to the patrons of the fair, and
that hitching posts be set for teams,
all to be free.
Mr.. Diamond moved that no fakirs
or gambling be allowed On the
grounds. This led to considerable dis
cussion, but was finally carried, with
one or two opposing votes. Those
who opposed the motion thought that
fakirs who did not do a gambling
business should be admitted upon
payment for the privilege, as they
said that many young men wanted to
''try their luck" at something and il
there is nothing there to amuse them
In this line they will not attend the
fair.
Others thought that more people
would attend if it was given out that
there would be no gambling or takers
allowed, than if they were permit
ted to do business.
President Parker suggested that
the section regarding hogs should be
cut out from the premium list, as the
farmers at Garden City do not want
hogs to be brought in there from
everywhere, for fear Of starting the
cholera again. The hogs are all dead
now, and they want to start fresh.
Mr.. Diamond held that it would
not be we'll to take the action sug-
gested,. as the farmers of the county
should be encouraged to start in
again.
The sections of sheep, poultry and
vegetables were talked over. Mr.,
Parker suggested that more attention
should be paid to sheep, as the pre-
MUM list has paid no attention to
breeds. He thought that vegetables
should be tested for quality, instead
OF giving the prize to the biggest
without regard to quality,

London, Sept. PA st. Petersburg
dispatch says the imperial authorities are
arranging for great purchases of Ameri-
can wheat for distribution among the
sufferers in the district affected by the
bad harvests.
Reports from the district of Kazan,
where the distress is particularly acute,
show an alarming state of affairs. The
cattle are being fed on fodder taken from
the matches of cottages, and permission
has been given the peasants to gather
fagots for fuel and dried leaves for fod,
der, in the woods.
Terrible as the situation now is, the
distress not only shows no signs OF abat-
ing, but will probably be more accentll-
ated III the coming winter, when the
famine will have for its prey popula-
ton already impoverished and exhausted
by previous years of want and scarcity.
