mounted aides. The line of march
was confined to Front street, owing
to the muddy condition of the other
streets. Front street was beautifully
Illuminated, the six arches being
aglow with colored electric lights
and red fire being burned at inter
walls. Sky rockets and Roman candles
were sent off at several points.
1t seemed as though the entire city
was out to see the fun. Crowds
packed the sidewalks and in some
places pushed out into the streets.
Win dows were full of heads, and
every point of vantage was occupied.
The parade was something different
from anything heretofore undertaken
in the city, and was in the nature of
carnival parade. No feature in it
was intended to be serious, but every
body taking part was expected to
wear some sort Of a comical costume.
The column was headed by a police
force, with faces made up to repre-
sent Mankato's coppers. These police
men had on the regulation uniforms
and carried billies, and strangers
could not distinguish them from the
real thing.
The city council was well taken
care Of. The six members had their
faces adorned to counterfeit Man
kato's big SIX, and the city recorders
perfect likeness was there, sitting
near the mayors double: The ban
ners carried by this wagon were sug-
gestive. The board of trade was
given up at the last minute, owing to
a hitch.
The wild animals were there, the
most of them in cages on wagons.
The lion tanner occupied his post of
danger. The animals were ferocious
in appearance, but quite mild man
nered. The elephant and the big
rooster attracted great deal of at
tention.
There were clowns, people of every
race and nationality, big headed PEG
pie, yellow kids, walking bottles, and
almost everything under the sun.
Several bands Of music were in the
parade and added greatly to the sue.
cess of the affair.
An old fashioned stage coach from
st. Peter, filled with jolly crowd
from our neighboring city, was one of
the interesting features. Then there
were several fine floats, one represent
ing Uncle Sam triumphant over
Spain and Cuba freed. 1t would take
more space than we have to spare to
enumerate everything. The COM
mittee on sports was warmly solicited
by many of the BUSINESS men to have
the parade repeated
A side feature of the parade that
greatly interested those who saw it
was the arrest of the gamblers, in
front of the city hall. Some of the
paraders, led astray by dead swell
sport, put up some greenbacks on a
faro game. Just then the police force,
which was heading the parade,
swooped down on the party and placed
them under arrest. The patrol wagon
was rung up and the prisoners were
thrown in and closely guarded until
they were subsequently arraigned be-
fore the bar at the City Hotel and
fined.

The Industrial Parade.

The industrial parade started at
about 11:3O a. m. and marched and
countermarched on Front street. 1t
made very pretty sight. First came

by the Concordia band. Mayor Pau

Off Key West Monday morning a sailor

American bark James NJ Elrel, from

Mexico, anu swan toward the ships of the

800 yards distance. The bark had just
flagship New York and crew of sailors,
who were out in a cutter, went to his res
cue and took him ON board. The sailor
was carried before Commander-in-C Chief
Sampson, on the flagship New York,
where he told story of ll-treatment and
abuse without cause, and succeeded in
convincing Capt. Sampson that his story
was true. About that time a boat from
the bark arrived, and demanded that he
be sent back to the bark, but Capt. Samp-
son refused TO give him up until the facts
could be examined into before United
States Commissioner Crane. Hence the
James N. Elrell was compelled to sail for
Mexico short a man. 1t is more than
probable that if the sailors tale can be
substantated charges of cruelty will be
filed against the captain Of the bark, and
when he returns he will probably be ar
rested and tried.

HARRISS ATTEMPTS SUICIDE.
Suspicion That His Wife Furnished
Him the Poison.

Moultre, Ga. April CIV. H. Harriss,
convicted of the murder of Henry Nesmith
and under sentence of death on June 3,
attempted TO commit suicide Tuesday
night by taking strychnine. About q
o'clock Wednesday morning his eonvus-
sions attracted the attention of the guard.
Medical attention was called at once and
for over ten hours he had the careful ar
tention of three physicians, and it was
only by their efforts that his life will
probably be saved, though he is not yet
out of danger. Harriss claims to have
had the poison since he was In Macon jail
that he brought 1t with him from there.
The general opinion, however, is that his
wife furnished il to him. He says now
that he is satisfied with the attempt. and
if he RECEIVERS will not attempt it again.
His motion for a new trial will be heard
before Judge Spence next Saturday, but he
does not have much hopes of his being
given another trial. Robert Harriss, his
son, is in jail, charged with the same Of
tense, and his trial comes off on the
fourth Monday in May, and he is a very
important witness for him.
