Mayer traversed path leading up
to the Erie tracks and reached the top
in time to see Keller several rods
ahead Of him Mayer overlook Keller
near the first switch leading TO the
railroad yard and round-house. Then
followed much gestculation and evil
dent harsh words.
Finally it appeared as though Keller
was trying to hurry away from Mayer
and that the latter was determined on
keeping the other company. Between
the second and third switch they halt
ed. Keller pushing his companion away.
The latter again approached and struck
Keller, who struck back and gave
Mayer a more forcible shove.
Mayer drew something from his
pocket. II was clinched in his hand as
he again started for Keller. 1t was
then that Keller whipped out his re-

THE STREET FAIR.

Moorhead will hold street fair
commencing September Goth and con-
tinuing for five days A general COM
mittee consisting of the mayor Of the
city and six business men has been
appointed to conduct it and this COM
mittee will appoint such other COM
mittees as are necessary. Over 81 800
has been subscribed to conduct the
fair with. While doubtless such. a
sum of money could be used to advan-
tage in holding fair, we do not see
the necessity of so much, as outside of
few cash premiums that may be de-
sirable the merchants and citizens
will offer the premiums, and the other
expenses ought not to take anywhere
near that amount. We believe also
that a good fair of three days would
be more beneficial to Mankato and the
people tributary than to attempt one
of longer period, which might in all
it's phases be so successful. The COM
mittee appointed by the board Of
trade last Monday ought to arrange
for meeting of The business men and
citizens of the city to be held as soon
as possible after the meeting of the
board, and so start the ball rolling
for big fair. There is none too
much time, but plenty, however, if
the matter is pushed hard.

Congressman D. B. Henderson, Of

gress for the ninth time. This is said
TO be the first time that such an
honor has been accorded to an Iowa

best members of the house, and the
people Of his district are taking q
sensible course in keeping him there.
and should continue to do so as long
as he will stay. The west is begin
ming to recognize the fact than an ex-
perienced member in congress is a
valuable one, and there should be
some better reason for retiring him
him then the mere fact that some
one else would like the place. The
Republicans of Minnesota have set a
good example this year by renomi-
mating their entire delegation. The

With the signing OF the protocol
Thursday by President Mckinley and
M. Cambon, the Spanish American
war comes to an end. 20 a certain
extent the protocol is virtually a
treaty of peace, as it provides for the
surrender of Cuba and Porto Rico,
and the evacuation of the Spanish
troops there. That much is settled
and will not. revert to the commission
for discussion. There are numerous
details, however, to 60 before the
commission, as also will the disposal
of the Philippine islands. The war
has been short one, but it has been
waged vigorously. Il has spread over
wide portions Of the world and has
been remarkable in that Spain has
displayed very little aggressive force.
The arrangement of all the various
details of peace together with the
withdrawal Of the Spanish forces from
the territory that Spain surrenders
is likely to cover full as long, if not
ailonger period as has the war itself.

The review of the candidates who
will appear before the Republican
county convention on the 23rd inst,
which was given in our news columns
last week presents a splen
d id lot of men from whom to select q
ticket. While it has been stated that
the list is large one, it is really not
ex traordinarily large when the popu
lation of the county is taken into con-
sideration, and the fact that under
existing conditions the Republican
n omination will be about as good as
an election. With so much good
timber to select from it gives the peo-
pie wider range in their choice and
chance to choose the strongest
ticket possible. The affairs Of Blue
Earth county have been we'll handled
in the past, and a selection of ticket
from the names Of those who have
announced themselves as candidates
for the various positions is guarantee
that Republican success at the polls
will mean the continuance of the
same business principles in the dis.
charge Of county business.
