BIG CROWDS.
Sundays Excursion to Camp
Ramsey a Great Success.
Over 500 rlankato People Went
to See the State Volunteers
Rendezvous.

The excursions to Camp Ramsey
run Sunday by the Omaha aud M.
q ST. l.. road proved to be great sue.
cess. The roads had not anticipated
SO great crowd everywhere, and the
facilities Of the Omaha were not
equal to the occasion. While every
body from this city found room on
board the trains, many were unable to
get on in other towns along the
Omaha. The latter road took about
500 people, and the M. & St. L. 125
from this city.
The Omaha road had an Gilmore
and st. James special and started
two sections from Kasota, and the
four trains carried about 5000 people
into the twin cities. The Sioux
Falls excursion drew even larger
crowds, and the trains out there
were so crowded that they passed
through some stations without stop
ping.
The Minneapolis & st. Louis train
went to Camp Ramsey in two sections
and returned in three sections, and
carried $50 people.
The crowd at the camp was great
one, numbering $4,000 to 100000 peo-
pie, it is estimated. The Mankato re-
cruits were glad to see their friends,
and many of the latter took them
supplies Of cake, pies, etc. Vast
quantities offood were taken into the
camp in this way, yet the boys
generally report satisfaction with
their rations, and none showed de-
sire to come home. All of the Man
katol boys passed the physical ex-
animation, but as there are more men
than the states quota, it is possible
that some may be dropped.
The day was perfect, and the excur-
sionists all had a good time, or as
good time as they could be expect
ed to have in such a crowd. The
camp presents military appearance,
the twelfth regiment occupying tents,
and the thirteenth and fourteenth
bunking in the state fair buildings.

Two Pointed Questions
Answered,

What is the use of making a
better article than your competi.
tor if you cannot get a better
price for it9
Ans.-As there is no difference
in the price the public will buy
only the better, so that while our
profits may be smaller on a single
sale they will be much greater in
the aggregate.
How can you get the public to
know your make is the best?
If both articles are brought
prominently before the public
both are certain to be tried and
the public will very quickly pass
judgment on them and use only
the better one,
This explains the large sale on
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
The people have been using it for
years and have found that it can
always be depended upon. They
may occasionally take up with
some fashionable novelty put forth
with exaggerated claims, but are
certain to return to the one rem
edy that they know to be reliable,

scores of right thinking men of all

A Bold Robbery.

Last Friday evening man by
the name of Meadows, while en-
route home to Saltillo from Hen
derson, where he sold lot of
cotton, receiving the cash for it,
was robbed Of about $40.
About two miles from SaltillO
the robbers had built a large log
fire, and when Mr.. Meadows
reached that point, they invited
him to alight and warm. He ac.
cepted their invitation, and while
enjoying the hospitality of their
fire, they demanded all the money
he had on his person. Mr.. Mead.
ows, realizing the company he had
fallen in with, took to his heels
with the thieves in hot pursuit Of
him. They run him down, dis.
possessed him of his cash and
went on their way rejoicing. No
effort should be spared in bring.
ing the rascals to justice. There
were three of them in number.

School Talk.

The school at this place, under
the supervision of Profs. Cox and
Woodside, the present term, up 10
date, has been marked with sue
cess. That they ale efficient,
painstaking teachers goes without
question, but the school facilities
at this place are not what they
ought to be, and will never reach
the standard they ought to until a
more commodious building is
erected. BY the expenditure of a
few thousand dollars Savannah
can have a school that will bring
pupils here from IA distance. There
is no question about this being
the best locality in the State for a
big school, and there is no way to
bring about such results only by
the liberal expenditure by our cit
izen of a sufficient amount of
money to put up good college, a
boarding hall, and few nice dor
mitories. When this is done and
our inducements fully presented
to those in search of an education
at a minimum cost, you will see
people locking here in search OF
a location that they may take adj
vantage of our educational facili'
ties. Let our people not only
talk, but get down to business
