tiful red roses and essayed the role of auctioneer on behalf of the worthy cause. Colonel Andrews opened the bidding with an offer of s10 and was quickly raised to $15. The gallant colonel was game, however, and finally obtained the coveted nosegay for $30 When he stepped forward to receive his purchase Governor Budd formally presented Colonel Andrews to the throng, and while he was bow ing his acknowledgement the Cover nor attempted to auction him off, but with indifferent success.
 Later on Colonel Andrews mounted the block and sold his bunch of roses for S5, netting a total of $35 for them.
 Of course, the fair was a financial and artistic success. That was as- sured before ever the doors were opened. Perhaps the crowd was lit tie too dense for the pretty girls to get around comfortably. but they managed to dispose of a vast num- Der of tickets, and when the fair closes three weeks from now, Governor Budd Is going to find himself the winner of a beautiful yellow satin sofa pill low, tastefully embroidered, on which are some pink trees. a green sky and a flock of blue lambs gambling over the old rose grass. It's a beauty, and when the Governor gets that gouty foot of his comfortably settled on 1t political cares will be forgotten and @ blessing will go up for the girls who sold it to him.

were over, the guests of the evening started to make a tour of the booths. The girls eyed his Excellency with admiration almost amounting to ven- eration. Finally one of them, with full realization of what she was there for, braced up and asked him to buy a ticket for sofa pillow. He bought five and the girl rushed off to tell her sister of her success. The sister tried her hand and the Governor was soon the possessor of five more tickets. Then girl No. l got her chum to work him, and after she had re- turned with a new four-bit piece the original sharper took another try. She was as successful as before, and so those three took turns in selling Budd tickets in punches of five, and never let up until he had every ticket issued for that article in his pocket.
 The band of the League of the Cross Cadets was in attendance and enliv- ened the evening with patriotic and popular selections. Registrar Biggy was there running a wheel of fortune, and there were others.

 It was down in the large hall in the basement of St. Patrick's Church on Mission street. Governor Budd had informally inaugurated the St. Patrick's parish fair in the pres ence of a crowd that, big as the hall was, was like sardines in a box; 1t would have been an utter impossibility for another soul to gain entrance.
 The Governor, accompanied by Ad- jutant General Barrett and Colonels Andrews, Young, Peck and Pippy of his staff, arrived just at s o'clock, their entrance into the hall being marked by a merry chime of the church bells. The party was es- corted to the stage by P. Devany, chairman of the committee of ar engagements, W. A. Breslin and P. J. Tomilty.
 At the conclusion of a happy ad- dress, which was frequently inter rupted by applause and laughter, the Governor picked up a bunch of beau

A PeppertOn DeIusiOn.

Out in Pepperton, a certain field
has become haunted. In the corner
of this field lies bone which in day
light appears to have once been part
of the anatomy of a harmless enough
bovine. Now around this bone each
night played light, which when one
too curious approaches, seems to fade,
but soft light still hovers around.
Examined closely the bone was found
to be carved with knife with the let
ters "W. B."
But an honest farmer, who has
watchedthe mysterious phenomenon g
authority for the statement that about
| o'clock at night the light leaves the
bone, and is carried to certain house
where it goes out as any ordinary
lantern goes out when the wick is
turned down. Nor is the lantern car
ried by aught but flesh and blood;
nor is the ghost story which someone
may be trying to work up aught but
"fake."

CELEBRATE AT MORRIS.
And Be Patriotic in These Patriotic
Times.
90 TO WAR OR CELEBRATE,
Trains will Run to Suit your COnven-
fence.

Still another concession was granted
by the Great Northern this week when
that road promised to run special to
this city on the Fourth, from the
south, if the report proves true that
many visitors will desire to come up
from Benson. This will accordingly
bring in a great crowd from the south.
The Browns Valley train will bring
it's quota frorn that line and will re-
main as late as is desired by the pass
engers. Thus as preparations for
the Fourth continue, it becomes more
and more apparent that the crowd
here will be very large.
The balloon ascension is a sure go.
1t will be by T. |. Cash, of st. Paul,
at ] o'clock in the evening.
The ball game has not yet been
arranged for. The Morris club wants
a good club oplay against.
The winners of the small sports will
be awarded liberal prizes. Here is a
chance for the boys to win some gold
and glory, if they will practice. Get
out and chase the calves around the

JOINED THE FOURTEENTH.
Four Morris Boys off for Chlcka-
mauga Park.

HlduSo FdENs
Having noticed that there we're sew
eral vacancies yet to be filled in the
Fourteenth Minnesota, four of the
Morris boys went to St. Paul last Sat
urday to enlist. They were B. F.
Stevens, John W. Wunch, Sterling
Van Kleek, and Ludwig w, Daniel
son.
None of the boys had any difficulty
in passing the physical examination,
but on the contrary were compli-
mented by the examining surgeons
for their excellent physical develop
ment. Ludwig Danielson was under
age, but his parents patriotically gave
their consent.
The Morris boys, with the other re-
cruits, started for Chickamauga on
Monday.

HOW TO GET TO OMAHA.
Some Facts About the Omaha Route.
Other Expenses.

OAHC1 EApOAoOoS
Many people in this locolity are
doubtless planning to visit the Trans
Mississippi exposition sometime this
summer. To those who go, few
facts regarding routes and expenses
will be of interest.
From the twin cities, the one route
direct to Omaha is via the Chicago,
st. Paul, Minneapolis and Omaha
railway. This road runs through
trains, which arrive in Omaha in two
to three hours shorter time than the
trains on any other line. This is one
of the oldest lines in that section of
the state, so that it's equipment is the
best. Besides the fine coaches Il
superb parlor car with all modern
conveniences is attached to the day
trains. A smooth road bed also, adds
no small degree of comfort to the
journey. The Omaha leaves Mime
apo!is at 9. a. m. or 10 p. m. If the
evening train is preferred one can
take sleeper and when they awake
in the morning find themselves only
short distance from Omaha. The
fare for the round trip from the twin
cities is $3.50. Regarding accommo-
dations at Omaha the Exposition
authorities announce that board and
room can be obtained at reasonable
rates. The admission fee to the
grounds is so cents.
