The C Soldiers.

The work of unloading the 17S sick
soldiers of the 18th regiments, brought
from Kentucky and Tennessee, was
completed Sunday morning, the boys
having spent a comfortable night in
their sleeping car berths. Of the en-
tire number, 81 men were obliged to
be taken to the hospitals in the Twin
Cities. Of these, &c were taken to st.
Paul hospitals. and 2s to the hospitals
of Minneapolis. Several men were al
lowed to go at once with friends liv-
ing in the Twin Cities, while about 80
of them were taken to Windsor hotel
to await trains going to their homes.
The work of unloading vas done sys-
tematically, the entire train force as
sisting. Gov. Clough personally super
intended the work. The hospitals had
sent a full supply of ambulances, and
only a single trip had to be made. Dur
ing the day about 25 men were placed
on board trains taking them to their
respective homes throughout the state.
The entire trip was accomplished
without the loss of a man, and with
out any casualties.

MINNESOTA NEWS.
The State Fair.

approximately 80, 900 people visited
the state fair this year. The number
OF admissions last year was 70, 643, and
Secretary Randall estimates that the
attendance this year was fully 10, 900
greater than last year.
From a financial standpoint the fair
was a success. The receipts, as esti-
mated. were about 81. 500 in excess of
the expenditures, which is an ex-
ceptionally good showing.
The privileges this year Melted $4,-
400. as against 81. 531 last year, the diff
erence being accounted for by the
smaller number of side shows and Mid
way features permitted. In this con-
nection especial care was taken with
the concessionaries, and "blind pigs"
were kept out strictly. Revenue Of
fcials were on the grounds all week,
and failed to locate any illicit liquor
sellers.
AS far as obtainable the cash receipts
from admissions and grand stand in
detail were: Monday, 81, SCI. 65; Tues
day. So, 500; Wednesday, So, $40; Thurs
day, $40, 022; Friday, IS, S42; Saturday,
So, 1888 rs.
1t costs over $40. 600 to bring off a
successful state fair, and the expense
this year was about the average. The
largest single item was the purses. ag-
gregating $40, 600. Premiums took
49, 600 of the fair money. All the
large premiums were paid by check
on the closing day of the fair, and the
horsemen and cattle exhibitors went
away with their winnings securely
tucked away. All the smaller premi-
ums, of which there are hundreds,
are paid by check through the mail.

GEN. BLANCO INTERVIEWED.
Consents to Speak Of the War for
First Time Since Signing Of
the Peace PROTOCOL.

New York, Sept. 16.-A dispatch to
the Herald from Havana says that for
the first time since the peace protocol
was signed, Capt. Gen. Blanco has con-
sented to speak of the war. This is
what he said:
"I am naturally inclined to be charitable
and l am incapable of hating anyone, but
I confess to a feeling of deep resentment
against the United States, whose conduct
toward Spain in declaring war against us,
without motive or pretext, just at the time
when they were receiving from us the high
est marks of our friendship and respect,
can never be condemned too severely.
1T ought never to be forgotten that just
when the United States was announcing
it's intention Of coming to Cuba to estab-
lish a firm government it was in reality di-
recting hostilities principally against Puer-
to Rico and the Philippines.
'Since the beginning of this war 1t has
always been my heartfelt desire, as com
mander in chief Of the army, for the day
to arrive when l could match my armed
strength against theirs, and die, if neces-
sary, among the ruins of Havana, If for
tune were not favorable, but l was unable
to realize my hope.
my government has signed the peace
protocol, and her decision must be complied
with. Nevertheless, 1 have an eternal con-
fidence in Divine justice, and l have there
fore hope that this arrogant nation will re-
ceive it's just deserts, and God knows that
the day when this act of national despoli-
alton is accomplished and the stars and
stripes float from Havana that day may
perhaps mark the beginning of the decay
Of the American nation.
Before it IS all over I wish to put myself
on record as having no dislike for the army
of the United States. On the contrary, I
ave the highest appreciation of it's noble
and courageous behavior"

New Industry.

]. B. Carey, of Duluth, has been at
work for some time on an industry
that promises much for him and his
associates. He has found that the
moss that grows abundantly in the
spruce and tamarack swamps is valu-
able for u~pholsterers. and has sent
east several carloads for experiment.,
which have fully met his hopes. He
has now found a large tract of land
along the line of the d.. & /. road, in
which there are hundreds of thousands
of tons of moss, and will begin gather

Successful Societies.

Thirty-eight agricultural societies
have qualified for a share of the $14,-
600 state appropriation and will re.
ceive $245. "a each. Last year the di-
vision was S206. The requirements
are an association with at least 25
members and a fair at which a stable
amount is given in premiums. Some
of the societies have 800 or 400 mem
beers, and the premium lists range from
$50 to $50, the latter at Garden City,
Blue Earth.

Crop Report.

Light and scattered showers fell
early in the week, which somewhat de-
layed operations in the grain fields in
the extreme north, and had a tendency
to lower the grade of wheat in those
portions of the Red River valley where
showers were reported in the last bull
letin. The rains have nowhere been
sufficient to revive pastures, Or to
soften the ground for blowing. Not.
withstanding the very hard condition
of the soil, blowing is generally pretty
well advanced. Threshing is still
going on in all parts of the state,
though in many parts of the south it is
nearly finished. The seeding of win
ter rye will begin this week in Da-
,kota county.

unteveloped country. This has
been seen III the arid West, le-
garding which it was thought for
long time that farming would

But admitting this to be true, one
should nevertheless not look for
much agricultural development in

they may be. There Is such Il

Secretary Wilson of the depart
ment of agriculture expresses
himself as confident that it Will be
found that agriculture on an eX.
tensive scale is practicable in
Alaska. 1t may be doubted,
however, If he is justified in pre-
dieting that the agricultural prod
uct of the country will equal Its
wealth of gold, unless the time in
which to achieve this be extended
beyond the period when the
placers will be exhausted. The
climate of the southern part of
the Alaskan coast is probably
adapted to the production ofhardy
grams, but the area of that part
of the country is YER, small. The
coast region is represented III
southern latitudes by only a mar
row strip OF land, hardly extens-
live enough TO produce much of
anything. II Is not probable that
agriculture will ever be an lmpor-
tant industry even In the low

The fight now on in Denver be-
tween the department stores and
daily papers of that city has
caused Rev. MyronIteed to preach
on the subject OF the department
store. From his sermon publish
ed III the Denver Republican we
make the following extract:
'The department store think
has come to stay. 1t is great
convenience to be met at the
railroad station in Chicago and be
comfortably carted to store where
you can buy anything from tack
to ham. Under one root is
everything. The department store
is simply socialism as to method.
l think that by and by when we
know more we, the people, Will
get tired OF indlvlduallsm. This
having your own way and cutting
one another's throat will be seen
to be Too expensive and also too
dangerous. The Sermon on the
Mount is good politics. Nobody
can get permanently rich by his
nelghbors misfortune. If | must
be poor l prefer to be poor IN a
rich neiahborllood. 1t man
owes me money l want to see him
live and flourish people cannot
live and thrive in an atmosphere
of ill will. Eight minutes OF anger
tries a man more than eight hours
of work. Anger burns. What is
the use of this everlasting fight.
Who gains anything by it? The
department store seems to support
child labor. That is an infame us
thing. A child ought to be at
play or in school. Is it necessary
for mm to work to support his
father and mother? l do not think
so. Let the father and mother go
down, let the child come up.
Better thousands OF families be-
come extinct rather than child
labor flourish. DO you wish to
turn the country over to a lot OF
dwarfs? Under our present sys-
tenn If a boy is genius or has re-
markable talent and his people
can spend few thousand dollars
on him SO that he can do neces-
sary thing In the best way, that
boy will make a living. But what
Is to become OF the average boy
who has no knot in his forehead!
What is his future? Most of lis are
dull. Is there no place for dull
people? Let the department store
hire men and women. Let us
have done with this child labor
business.
