BLUE EARTH CITY.
Patriotism Runs Wild There at
Present.

Special to Daily Free Press.
Great was the patriotic enthusiasm
manifested in Blue Earth Mondayeve-
ming, Such interest has not been
seen since the days of 81, and nothing
like it was ever seen in this city. The
company organizing met at the
city hall, and the hall was full Of
people. A large flag was hung across
the street from city hall to Stevens
A smaller flag, together with the
Cuban flag, fioated from a window
The meeting was called together by
Editor Hamlin, when more names
were secured, which together with
the contingent from Wells. repre-
sented by Basil Smout, made up the
number to 120. The company separ
ated from the thrODgand elected j. e.
Chase, who has had considerable army
experience, was member of the
famous Berdon's sharpshoOterS in the
Civil war and ter the captain of
Ssh" Co. I'd Regt., M. N. G. Drumme rs
and ffers enlivened the scene to
gether with remarks by G. W. Bus
well. After the adjournment the
company formed, headed by the music
and flags and the citizens following,
marched to and fro through the city
In the meantime bonfire was
started on the main square and all
the boxes, barrels, etc, were gathered
together amidst the huzzas and firing
of cannon crackers and guns, A
dispatch received from Gov. Clough
that this company will undoubtedly
be called and for Capt. Chase's COM
pany to be ready to move on short
notice. G. W. b.

NO CHANCE.
The Mankato Company Will
Not Go to the Front.
Gov. CIough Says rlinnesOta's
Quota is Full.

The Mankato company will not 90
to the front in the first call for VOL
unteers to fight for Cuban independ-
ence, as will be seen by the telegram
below.
Tuesdaymorning the following tele-
gram was sent to Gov, Clough:
MANKATO. Mimi, April q, '9S,
Hon. D. NJ Clough, Gov,
St. Paul, Mimi.
A big company organized anxious
to get in one of the regiments. Is
there still chance. If so hold until
the committee from Wilkin Post, G
A. R., meets you at noon tomorrow.
Reply at once.
VIM. n. PLYMAT,
Commander.
Tuesday afternoon the following
reply was received:
ST. PAUL, Mimi, April y, '9S.
VIM. N. Plymat: Impossible to use
your company in first call. Full
quota made up.
d. M. CLOUGH,
Governor.
If there had still been a chance,
committee of prominent citizens
would have gone to st. Paul Thursday
in behalf of the Mankato company.
The adjutant generals office is over
run with applications from companies
from all parts of the state, and the
fact that the Mankato c( mpany does
not get in is no discredit to it. A
quota several times as great as that
assigned to Minnesota could be filled
in twenty-iour hours if necessary.
1t is believed to be the plan to have
the Minnesota volunteers encamp at
FortSnelling or the state fair grounds
for a week or ten days and undergo
drills and maneuvers, to get into
shape for: active service. The state
has tents but for one regiment, at
present, and the balance of the troops
will be placed in barracks. When the
orders come to move east or south,
it is not known at this time where
the Minnesota troops will be assign
ed, but the regiments will probably
be divided up among the different bri'
gades, as this is the policy of the gov
eminent.

THE SPIRIT OF PATRIOTISM

1 vi NV sO"A
Those who have been fearful that
patriotism is dying out among the
masses of the people and was being sup
planted by a grosser spirit OF CONNER
cialism which seemed to foretell the
decay of the republic, will be obliged
to change their opinions in view Of
the present uprising Of the people in
behalf of their country and to battle
for humanity. From every point
comes a hearty response to the presi-
dents call, and the answer will be
thousands more men than are want
ed, at present at least. Old veterans
say the scenes and excitement re-
minds them of the early days Of 81,
and there seems to be just as much
of patriotic spirit abroad today as
there has ever been in the history of
the nation. And this patriotism
abounds just as much in him who has
come here from foreign countries and
made this his adopted home. as it
does in the native born, who may be
BILE to trace his lineage back beyond
the revolution.
And there is another feature which
should be carefully noted. 1t has
been said that corporations are heart
less and soulless, that rich men have
not in them that spirit Of patriotism
and sacrifice that abounds in the poor.
But in this case the fires of patriotism
seem to burn with the rich and the
corporations. On every hand they
are coming forward with the offer
that if any of their employees wish to
enlist their places will be kept open
for them on their return and that
their salaries will continue right
along in their absence. while quite a
number Of corporations have offered
in addition, that in case any of their
employees who enlist, are killed in the
service, they will pay to their families
an insurance ranging from $1,000 to
$500. While this kind OF spirit
permeates all classes there is 10 dan
ger of the republic falling into decay
from want of proper deferse.

PRICES SENT UP.
The War Effects the Banana and Lemon
Market.

P. W.Thomas. manager or the Man
kato Fruit Commission Co., states
that the war has brought aboutan ad-
vance in the price of bananas and
lemons. The bananas come from the
West Indies and the lemons from
Europe, and owing to the danger of
seizure of American ships the traffic
is now almost stopped. Probably
European ships will soon be bringing
an ample supply of lemons. In the
last few days, lemons have gone up
fifty cents a box. Last week there
was such scarcity on the Minneapo-
lis market that seventy-tive boxes
were shipped there from Mankato one
day.
No effect is expected on the market
prices of oranges. 'raisins, ETC., from
the war, as this is not the time Of
year when these shipments are made
in any quantity.

MILITARY MATTERS.
The Local Company Gets Eleven More
Recruits.

Capt. Comstock's company of volun-
teers secured an addition of eleven
men after drill Monday night. When
the drilling was over, this number
came up and signed the roll. The
drill was participated in by "a men,
which shows the great interest of the
members. There has been wedding
out of those who could not we'll 60 to
the fronU, on account of their youth
or other causes, and the company now
numbers about lis. The next drill
will be held tomorrow night.
The city council ought to be will
ing to pay the rent of Union hall for
drill purposes. The city can surely
do this, if the young men are willing
to undergo all the hardshIps and
dangers of soldiers fighting for their
country.
Capt. Comstock has appointed G. j..
Thornby corporal.
Lieut.. Col. Johnson received a
IclcSTdm dU uluulRuU OIuSIlbR IT'LL
to report at St. Paul, and he took the
morning train. Major Mead went to
st. Paul from New Ulm. Both are
expected home tonight to remain a
day or two, or until they are called
upon for actual service.
Gov. Clongh has announced his ap-
pointment of regimental officers for
the three regiments of infantry which
Minnesota is called upon to furnish
as her quota. The appointments are
not made by regiments, but G. E.
Johnson, of this city has been COM
missioned lieutenant-c colonel of one
regiment, and Geo. w. Mead, Of this
city, one of the three majors of an
other regiment, of which Joseph Bob

WILL MEET FRIDAY.
Second District Congressional Committee
Meeting is Called.

Chairman Benedict of the Second
district Republican congressional
committee. has called a meeting of
that committee for Friday of this
week at ten o'clock. The meeting
will be held in this city and it is called
for the purpose of naming a date for
the holding of the nominating con.
vention. 1t is likely that the conven-
tion will be called to meet in Manka-
to on Tuesday, June 18th, or two days
preceding the day upon which the
state convention is called. This will
give the delegates ample time to 90
to the state convention.

received, Minnesota State Fairs be-
ing carefully managed. and, as
ought to be the case, is constantly
growing. It will be held September

has been sliberally revised. Special
attention is given to the live stock ex-
hibits. and efforts are being made to

qualities. There are increased premi-
ums in the dairy department, the
woman's department. and in both the

ments. One Thousand five hundred
dollars are offered for county exhibits.
The main building will be made more
attractive than ever and the machin-
iery. honcyforestry and mineral ex-
hibits will, each be given the careful
attention merited by these important
Industries. The musement program
is to be greatly strengthened as we'll
as the exhibition features. The bus
mess men OF ST. Paul have contribute
ed purse of $1,000 for pacing race
and the business men of Minneapolis
a like amount for trOting race. The

the best amusement program ever
witnessed at state fair. Send a
