ANOTHER PUMP.
It Will Soon be Added to Those at
the Water Works.

Yesterday General Foreman j. G..
Camp of the Southern Pacific Com
pany's machine shop. and Engineer W.
F. Drew Inspected the pumps at the
City Waterworks building in the pres
ence of the Mayor and City Trustees
Douglas and Devine. They found the
new Allis pump working all right, but
the Holly rotary is in need of repairs
The demand for water is so great at
this season of the year, however, that
the pump cannot be shut down.
The old Stevens auxiliary pump,
which did good service in its day, was
started up but found to be worthless,
and it will be sold to the highest bidder.
In short time the City Trustees will
put in another pump.

The Sunday school workers Of In

striving to awaken the interest of the
people in this work and thus brlnl
about good results. Through the ef-
forts of Mrs. S. f. keenan,, our super
intendent, and of e. d. Cragun much
7has already been accomplished.
A few weeks ago plan for har-
vest festival was suggested. All were
in favor of the plan and it was ar
ranged to have one Sunday afternoon,
Sept, 10. All came off as arranged
and the school house was decorated
with about sixty different kinds of
plants, vegetables, flowers, etc, all
having been grown in the wonderfully
fertile valley of Indian, showing that
her people are proud Of her usefulness
Is well as her picturesque beauty.
About seventy people assembled
and after an elaborate song service a
sermon on "Why we should not be

THE LAST DAY.
The Street Fair Draws to a
Close.
Events of Thursday Afternoon and
Evening Postponed Until
Friday by Rain.

The cold rain that fell all of Thurs
day afternoon and evening caused a
postponement of the special events of
the street fair until Friday. The ball
game between Mankato and Fairmont
was set for $50 O'Clock this afternoon,
and the balance of the sports program
was to be pulled off this afternoon.
The carriage parade and the repetition
of the burlesque parade are set for to-
night
The rain did not take the enthusiasm
out of the fair workers, but it begrog-
gled the out of door decorations and
gave Front street rather discouraged
appearance. The disappearance of
most of the gamblers took away much
of the noise and excitement, and peo-
pie gave more attention to the booths
and to the stores.
The Judging of the exhibits was not
completed in all departments until this
forenoon, and the reports of the judges
are not in shape to make much out of.
The number of strangers in the city
Thursday was larger than the day be-
fore, and but for the rain in the after
noon there would have been jam on
the streets.
Although the weather Friday forenoon
was very threatening many people
came in from distance to witness the
last day of the fair.
