MANKATO NOT SLOW in
SHOWING 1T.
A Great Host Joined the Parade Monday
Night, Making one Of the Longest Ever
Seen in the City...Fire Works and
Red Fire Light up the Line of March
...PatriOtic Utterances of theSpeakers.

Amid the explosion Of innumerable
fireworks, the flaming of colored fire,
the music of bands, the discordance
of fish horns and the huzzahs of thou
sands ofpeople, the great.paradew wound
through the streets Monday night
in honor of Admiral Dewey's unparal-
leled victory. To right and left, over.
head and everywhere futtered flags,
big and little, and bunting and gay
festoons of red, white and blue ma
terial. Troops of horsemen, crowds
on foot, phalanx on bicycles, hun
6reds in carriages, bands of music,
military organizations, and students
and school children without number
swelled the ranks of the paraders and
drew out the procession until it filled
Front street almost from one end to
the other. This was tine way that
patriotic Mankato celebrated the vic
tory ofAmerican arms and the proves
of American valor in the remotest
part of the globe.
The affair was huge success. This
was fact that nobody vino witnessed
it could for moment doubt. 1t was
almost unexpectedly great, and when
the fact of it's being practically i'm.
promptu is considered it is proof that
our people are neither lacking in the
proper spirit or slow to respond to
natriOtic impulSes.

Fireworks and Bunting.

All along Front street fireworks
were sent off, and RomanIcandles, sky
rockets, giant fire crackers and other
explosives were supplemented by the
din Of fish horns. Red apd blue lights
were burned at intervals along the
street and added greatly to the eff
fectiveness of the scene.
Almost every store from one end of
the street to the other, and many pri-
vate residences, were decorated with
flags and bunting. Many of the decora-
tions were elaborate and beautiful.
The city hall was resplendent with
bunting. One of the prettiest decora-
tions was that of the Mankato Gas
and Electric Light Co. Over the en-
trance to it's new office was the ma
tional flag in red, white and blue
lights, and above that was the name
dewey" spelled in big capitals made
of little incandescents. 1t was ar
ranged so that one letter could be
switched on at time. During the
evening fire balloon was sent up.
All along the street, cheers were
frequently given for Admiral Dewey.
The utmost patriotic feeling was dis
played on all sides. The sidewalks
were crowded all along the line of
march.
After the parade, the crowd assem-

The Parade.

The various columns formed and
fell into line and started off promptly
at eight o'clock, and the line of march
was carried out, and not hitch &C.
CURED. DR.. VIM. Frisbee was mar
shall. and was assisted by number of
vigilant aides.
A force of mounted police came
first, in two lines. Then came the
Concordia band with stirring airs, fol-
lowed by bicycle riders with wheels
and suits gaily decorated. The fire
department, with the trucks hand
somely decorated with the national
colors, passed in review, the magnifi-
cent horses attracting much atten-
tion. The mayor, aldermen and city
officials followed in open hacks.
Alexander Wilkin Post, G.. A. R.,
came along with swinging step and
ranks well filled. G. L. Kings juvenile
band followed, playing martial music.
Capt. Comstock and his military COM
pany marched by with military pre-
cision in column of tours, keeping cor
rect distances and we'll aligned. A
vast array of students from the Nor
NAL and city schools, in double rank,
close formation, formed the next di-
vision. A large number Of young
ladies and girls were in the line, and
nearly everyone carried flag, while
patriotic songs were sung along the
line Of march. Then came the horse.
back riders, forming gay cavalcade.
The rear of the line was brought up
by citizens in carriages, of which
there was great number.
DR.. Frisbie's aides were Sheriff
Bowen, E L Patterson, Rev. Lee W.
Beattie, Gus Monson and Chas. Mac
beth. Great credit is due DR.. Frisbie
and his aides. 1t should also be men
toned in this connection that the one
who first suggested the celebration
was Jacob Hubb. Those to whom he
mentioned it looked upon the matter
favorably and an efficient corps of
workers was soon secured. This ex-
plains how the idea started, which to
many has been a mystery.

by the starving people of Cienfuegos to
Rear Admiral Sampson:
HONORABLE SIR: The Cubans. old men,
women and children, resident in the
town Of Cierifuegos and this neighbOrhood
are all dying of hunger. The young men
are all in the field with the Cuban troops
and have not shoes. neither food, All
provisions in this town are In the hands
of the Spaniartls Cubans cannot obtain
q piece of bread, as it is necessary to send
everything to the field. The Weyler sys-

rible.
If you, honorable sir, do not come quick
with your squadron to our help and take
possession of this town. we shall he lost.
We leg you to precipitate your operation.
About 5000 old men, women and children
shall die of hunger in this town.
Some of these old men have four or five
sons fighting for his freedom. This is our

people of the United States do not come

sake come quick. Signed,

Republican readers Of The JOURNAL
are entitled to know how. the situation
looks from the other side of the political
field. A few weeks ago it was supposed
that there would be no opposition to
speak OF against the nomination Of
Judge Albert, but objection is showing
itself from several unexpected quarters.
The Humphrey (Swallow) Democrat
has this to say;
"EOt Is candidate for district Judge
this fall good, clean man should be
chosen. Care should be taken not to
disgrace the bench with any more ward
politicians. We have had enough OF
that sort of thing now in the elevation
OF Alberts to the bench. II good,
clean man Is named we can defeat the
republicans hands downs. Alberts
wants the nomination but if he is allowed
to have it, it means sure defeat. With
the large fusion majority in old Platte,
Alberts can not carry his home county.
Onr people have no use for ward poll
ticians in judicial Office"
Where "are we at" any way: Is it
possible that Nc. Swallow favors b. p.
Duffy for judge before J. l.. Albert?
That could scarcely be, in the ordinary
'course of human events.
