Cincinnati, Sept. II 80 The work Of
the thirty-second annual encampment
OF the Grand Army Of the Republic
was happily concluded late in the af-
terncon yesterday. There was a small
number comparatively in attendance in
the morning, but later the numbers
We're increased and the desire to COM
plete the work and turn to other
duties was SO great that every one
connected with the business of the en-
campment felt inclined to hurry, and
for this reason, perhaps, the expected
discussion on the resolution from the
pension committee did not occur. The
rule in almost every instance was to
adopt reports as presented and in this
way the pension report went through
without objection, although it was
modified later to take away any i'm
preston that might have arisen that
President Mckinley was under cen
sure. The discussion showed remark
able spirit, earnestness and an un-
usual gift Of oratory. But above all
there was disposition to take no rad
ical or .undignifed action. Command
er-in-Chief Goblin, with all his rulings,
commanded .s

of the encampment. He was prompt,
Intelligent and firm in enforcing the
rules and in conducting the business.
While the encampment was concluded
in the afternoon so that the new ma
tional beard of administration could
meet with Commander-in-C Chief Sex
ton for routine initial work, the ma
tional convention of the three organ

all day but until late in the evening.

THE DANGEROUS THRESHER.
Four Machines and Much Grain Al.
read Burned in Two Counties.

Four Machines and Much Grain Al
read Burned in Two Counties.
During the past week four threshing
machines working in Redwood and
Renville counties have gone up in
smoke-each time the fire being caused
by spark from the engine communi-
eating to the grain stacks and setting
fire to the machine before it could be
jerked from between the setting With
each machine from $50 to 400 bushels
of grain were consumed. Aside froA
this there have been two other casual
ties from fire, resulting in the loss Of a
setting Of grain having 800 bushels Of
wheat in the same, at least, and in an
other instance a barn with horses, ETC.,
consumed. The total loss will reach
nearly $4,000. In almost every case
the owner of the machine has thrown
up threshing for this year, and this is
likely to cause scarcity Of machines
for threshing the big crop of this fall.
Stack threshing has little more than
commenced, and if the weather re-
mains good from now until Dec. 10 the
machines will all be kept busy. Real
estate in Redwood county has been
unusually active during the past
month, one agent alone having sold
1,191 acres last week at a total .valua-
ton Of $22,945.

.AITI1IN COUNTY IN FIRST PLACE
In the Agricultural Competition
zz5a. Among aCOuntie s. sE5..s ..55a.


Among Counties.
Aitkin county captured the first prize
in the list of county, exhibits. There lis
no question that the award Of the
Judges was correct, for all those that
saw the exhibits in the agricultural
hall pronounced this exhibit not only
the best from an artistic standpoint,
but We're unanimous in the statement
that the exhibit contained the most
complete display Of agricultural and
garden products. The fact that the ex-
hibit scored 1880 points out of a pos
sible 1900 speaks for itself. When the
announcement was made, nearly all
the exhibitors in the hall went to Mr..
Hungerford, who is in charge Of the
Aitkin county exhibit, and admitted
that there was no question that the
award was placed where it belonged.
Mr.. Hungerford and his assistants, Mr..
Potter, Mr.. Barker and Mr.. Lott, were
freely congratulated on their success.
The exhibit is really a remarkable one,
and shows that Aitkin county possess
es resources which one not familiar
with it would not suppose could be
found In county situated SO far
north. In addition to the wonderful
collection of wild grasses and grains
shown, every kind Of vegetable that is
supposed to grow in such a climate
was there, as well as many that are
never expected as far north as Mime
sofa. Among the curiosities which are
in the exhibit are tobacco and sweet
potatoes. There is also a collection of
fruit, all of which is as fine as any
that is exhibited in any other county
in the state. The apples shown are
particularly fine. The exhibit is one to
prove that Minnesota climate and soil
is of the best in the world and that
Aitkin county possesses at least as
( good facilities for farming and garden
ing as any other county in the state.
Anoka county is given second place
in the contest, another just judgment.
The exhibit from this county is very
fine one and the score shows that the
judges rank it only 81 points below the
leader. The premium for this class Of
exhibits is $1,2O0 divided pro rata
among the counties exhibiting. In adj
dition to this the st. Paul Commercial
club offers 5000 to the county scoring
highest and $10O to the second.

THE EMPEROR's FORTITUDE.
Bears Up Manfu1ly Under the Terri
Bile Addiction,

Vienna, Sept: 10. = The planned
funeral of the late Empress Elizabeth,
who was assassinated by an anar-
chist, contemplates bringing the re-
mains to Vienna Thursday, a lying in
state on Friday and the obsequies of
interment on Saturday. Every flag in
the city is at half-mast, and the thea
tiers, races and other amusements are
suspended Indefinitely. The emper-
or's fortitude is the topic Of universal
admiration. He is bearing up man
fully despite the terrible shock, which,
in view Of his age, has inspired the
gravest apprehension. Although at
first stunned, and then slightly ex-
cited, he soon regained his self-con-
troll and displayed remarkable calm
ness. Occasionally, however, COM
pletely overpowered by agitation, he
moaned piteously, repeatedly sobbing
the name Of the empress. Addressing
the chief marshal Of, the imperial
household he exclaimed: 'It is incon-
ceivable how a man could lift his hand
against one who never in her life
harmed anybody; one who did great
good" Then he moaned: Nothing
is spared to me in this world"
