THE REAL THING.
Such was the Parade Saturday
Night.
Windup of Mankat0's First Annual
Street Fair and Peace Jubilee
Was All Right.

Mankato's first annual street fair
and peace jubilee is now matter Of
history, and no one will deny athat it
succeeded most admirably in accom-
plishing the object for which it was
intended = drawing the people to
Mankato and advertising the city.
The final event of The week was
the reproduction of Thursday nights
burlesque parade. The affair went
off much. more satisfactorily than on
the first occasion, and was great and
glowing success. While several fea-
lures of the first parade were mis-
sing, new ones were added. The
parade was spread out better, and the
street was admirably lighted by
several dozen red fire candles, which
burned for quarter of an hour. The
only criticism heard of the first
parade was that the street was so
dark that some of the features could
not be seen and that the parade was
crowded together too much. These
were obviated Saturday night.
An immense crowd was out to see
the parade, including hundreds of
people from outside of the city who
remained over to see it. 1t is esti-
mated that fully 10000 people lined
Front street from one end to the
other.
The gamblers were pulled again in
front of the city hall. This was wit
messed by several hundred people and
was very realistic scene. The faro
game was well under way before the
coppers arrived and dumped gamblers
and victims alike into the patrol
wagon and carted them off.
Many fireworks were set off along
the street and added to the pictur.
sequences of the scene.
The balloon ascension Saturday at.
ternoon was witnessed by many
thousands of people. The balloon
went nearly straight up, and the
aeronaut made another successful
parachute leap.
The run made by the fire depart
ment Saturday afternoon was a fine
one and attracted the admiration OF
the thousands who thronged the
street. Three extension ladder drills
were given, Capt. Phil Lease going up
the ladder.

1T MIGHT BE STIMULATING.

The Minneapolis Tribune of last
Wednesday says:
"The American clergy are usually
wideawake and progressive, and
among them will be found vast ma
jority who are in favor Of extending
the sphere of American influence.
Among such is the Rev. John M.
Driver, of Mankato, who in a speech
before the Loyal Legion at its last
meeting, said: i am an expansionist

down the stars and stripes wherever
raised. l am in favor of inducing

Yellow Jack in the Army.

cit isn't the number of men that
yellow fever kills that frightens you, u
said soldier" but the unexpected
suddenness of his attack, and the
rapidity with which it kills." A man
is well and hearty at 8 p. M, az p.
m. he is deadly i'll; at p. 10 he is
dead, and at p. N. he is buried.
The man who dies of yellow fever
sometimes digs trenches right up to
within four hours Of his burial. In
much the same manner men Will
work day after day in apparent
health, and then will suddenly
appear general weakness. The
body is giving out. 1t needs
something to strengthen it, to tone
up the stomach, and assist digestion.
For this purpose Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters is highly recommended. 1t is
the best tonic ever made.

Voters should remember that cleo
tion day comes on Tuesday, Nov. Sth.
Every Republican voter should turn
out on that day. 1t is duty you owe
to your country. A full Republican
vote means the election of the entire
Republican ticket from Congressman
to coroner. Be sure you are registered.
In the country districts, and villages
and cities of 1000 and less registra-
tion takes place on Tuesday, Nov. Let.
In cities from 1000 to $4,000 re2istra-
tion will be made on Tuesday, Oct.
25th, and on Nov. 1st. All should
bear this in mind.

DON'T BE LED OFF.

1t is wonderful how the scheme put
forward by Mr.. G. N. Andrews, of
Fari bault county, that he would vote
for Senator Davis for United States
senator if elected, has spread among
Demo-Pop candidates for the legisla-
ture. We understand that one Of the
candidates of that combination in
this county is out with the same
statement, and we believe it has also
been sprung in one or two other
counties. At first blush, 1t presents
a very attractive appearance, but
there is nothing in it that should at
tract a single Republican voter, be-
cause nothing can be accomplished
through 1T, that cannot be 'accom-
plished through the Republican can
didates. In fact not as much, for the
Demo-Pop candidate, if elected, could
not enter the Republican caucus to
ensure the nomination of Mr.. Davis.
Again if the legislature should hap
pen to be close, the election of three
or four Demo-Pops on such promise
might give the opposition control of
the legislature on joint ballot, and in
such case, does any Republican sup
pose for minute that these combi-
nationists would carry out their anti
election promise? They would more
likely argue in such case that the
people OF the state had repudiated
Mr.. Davis, and it was their duty to
vote with their party, notwithstand-
ing their previous promise. The Re-
publicans of Blue Earth county have
placed strong legislative ticket in
the field who will not only vote for
Senator Davis under all circum-
stances, but will uphold the Republl-
can policy in all matters, which has
done so much to make our state one
OF the most prosperous in the union.
Through them the desires of any Re-
publican can be carried out, with
out voting for a Demo-Pop on a
will -the-wisp sort Of a promise.

So far the Democrats have failed to
give one good reason why there should
be any change made in the manage.
ment of Blue Earth county affairs.
They utterly failed to put forth the
first reason at their county conven-
tion, and nothing has come to the
surface since. And they can give
none Since the Republican party
has had control of the affairs Of the
county, all matters have been con-
Quoted on strict business principles.
The men who have been selected by
the Republicans for the various office S
are all capable business men, and will
make most efficient officials. Repub-
licans everywhere should see that a
full vote is cast for the entire ticket.

DISGRACEFUL,

Saturday night witnessed without
exception, the most disgraceful pro-
ceedings ever attempted on The
streets Of Mankato. And what
makes the act more disgusting and
inexcurable is the fact that it was
started and participated in by an
element of young men and young
women who presumed entirely too
much upon their family relations and
their standing in society to give
them license to insult everyone
whether strangers or acquaintance
who unfortunately gathered upon
the streets to witness the final street
parade Of fair week.
The instigators in the movement
to besmirch with flour people
gathered upon the streets are too
well known to everybody to even re-

Dainty Miniatures Are Painted on
the buttons.

Miniatures for glove buttons--that is
the latest fad of the fashionable woman.
But it is only ON her very best gloves
that the miniature buttons are seen.
And such exquisite gloves as they
are! They are made of the softest OF
cream color suede, and are bound with
different delicate shades OF kid. The
backs of the gloves are beautifully
stitched in two contrasting shades OF
silk. The gloves come in short, four
button length. Each button is min
ature framed in a tiny rim Of gilt.
Various miniatures are used. One pair
of gloves will be decorated with the
portraits of the beauties of the French
court. Another pair will show Princess
Louise, whose picture is so famous Tor
it's beauty, and others will have por-
traits OF the prominent women OF their
time.
These gloves can be bought in cream
color. bound with faint green kid and
stitched with pink and green silk. They
also come in cream color, with the bind
ing and stitching in two shades of vio
let. Later in the season they will show
the kid binding and stitching in many
other colors.
1t is rumored that these miniature
glove buttons promise to he such fad
that before long the society girl will
fasten her glove with the miniature Of
the man of her heart, or perhaps of her
pet poodle!
There are many other novelties among
the new gloves this fall, both in suede
and glace kid. Suede gloves. with imi-
tation pearls for buttons, will be much
worn; also the glace gloves. with big
pearl buttons set with sparkling rhine
stones.
For walking gloves all the shades of
red and tan will be worn. The most
stylish are stitched and bound with
black. The pearl-gray, yellow, and
white gloves will be most in favor for
wear at afternoon teas and for the the
alter,
The old-fashioned two buttoned
length glove has been revived this sea-

lleton, his former chief Of artillery, was
rector, and Gen. Smith, superintendent
OF the Virginia military institute, was

on agreeable terms with the rector, and
complained to the officers of the church
that the cadets, among them his own
son, were DESERVING the church of their
fathers and that no persuasion could
keep them from attending DR.. Pratts
church (Presbyterian). The doctor
had very beautiful daughter, Grace,

objections to the rector Gen. Lee, with

SAM PASCO AND NAPOLEON.

Napoleon took Europe and tossed down top
ping thrones,
And strewed its CHASTITY hillsides with
white and bleaching bones:
And handled kings like puppets and made
his world-uproar.
Played his battalions music, passed. and
was heard no more.
Sam Pasco took a rundown farm, a run
down farm, alas
Where stretched unbroken solitudes be-
tween each spear Of grass.
And moss usurped it's hillsides and flags
usurped its meads,
And both its hills and meadows were a
tragedy of weeds.
Sam Pasco's hard campaigning! Long
waged the stubborn fray;
And Sam grew bowed and battered and
Sam grew scanned and gray;
But those bald hills grew green with grass,
and apple blossoms fair
Stormed, as with storms OF winter, the fra
grant summer air.
Napoleon took Europe and played his
mighty game.
And sowed its fields with corpses and
wrapped its towns In fame.
Sam Pasco took his rundown farm and
greened its moss-gray soil,
And one small plat of this wide earth wa
fairer through his toll.
Sam Pasco and Napoleon! Wide are the
midnight skics,
And In the wildness OF the world mon seem
of equal size:
And from some star may each look down.
each stretch his phantom arm.
Napoleon tow'rd Austerlftx. Sam Pasco to-
ward his farm.
