Bananas.

AS a consumer and shipper of bana-
mas, Minneapolis has a record to be
proud of. In the list of receiving and
distributing cities of the United States
Minneapolis stands sixth, and the in
crease she has made in the past ten
years stands probably without par
allel in the history Of any city in the
world. Fifteen years ago carload of
bananas was an unknown phenomenon
in this market. Ten years ago the re-
ceipts were fifteen cars during the en-
tire season. This year they are esti-
mated to reach fully $50 cars, as the
receipts already foot up considerably
over 200.

for years his closest friend and most
earnest supporter. 4s
Mr.. Taylor remained in the good
graces of Gov. Bradley until the mem
orable race for United States senator
to elect successor to 10 Blackburn.
Mr.. Taylor, true to his convictions,
supported the party's nominee, DR.. w.
Godfrey Hunter, although Gov. Brad
ley was opposed to his being elected,
and in this way he incurred the enmity
of his old-time friend. But Hunter
could not be elected, and then Hon. w.
j. Deboe was named as the party's
candidate for United States senator.
Again the governor was not pleased
with the choice of the caucus and
opposed the election of Mr.. Deboe. Mr..
Taylor worked for the nominee, and
did his work so well that Deboe was
elected to the United States senate, the
first republican to secure that honor
from this commonwealth. From the
election of Senator Deboe to the pres
ent time the governor has had nothing
to do with the attorney general
He was powerless, however, to stop
the onward march of the comparative
long before the time for holding the
state convention it was apparent to
everybody that Taylor had the nomi-
nation won. Shortly after he was an
nounced as a candidate he held con-
ference with leading republicans in
Louisville, among whom were repre-
:sentatives of Gov. Bradley, John w.
Yerkes and other leaders Of the party.
Mr.. Taylor told the gentlemen that,
If they could agree on a man for gov
ernor other than himself, he would
cheerfully withdraw from the canvass
in his favor; that he did not desire to
stand in the way CT the success of the
state ticket this fall, and if there was
another man who would more nearly
bring the different factions of the
party together he would be only too
glad to retire in his favor. After DELHI
Grafton for hours, no man could be
agreed upon, and then Mr.. Taylor told
the gentlemen that he would go on
and try to secure the nomination. He
succeeded so well that both his oppo-
nents saw there was no use in allow
ing their names to go before the con-
vention, and they gracefully withdrew
before a ballot was called, and placed
their victor in nomina ton, and moved
that the nomination be made unani-
NOUS. sss.s 80 !.
In appearance Mr.. Taylor is tall,
rather SLIM and seems To he all rnrScle9
and nerves. He rode over the noun
tains of the state in making his CAM
paigns, and frequently he would mount
horse Immediately after making a
speech and ride 80 or 40 miles to the
next town, where he would address an
other crowd the same night. His pow
ers Of endurance are enormous, and he
seems to be especially fitted by nature
for making hard campaigns.

MINNESOTA NEWS.
State Fair Notes.

y. D. Gilispie of Morris has been se-
lected as assistant to Secretary Randall
during the fair. Mr.. Gillispie has
served satisfactorily in that capacity
before and is well known to exhibitors
In the horse department, RIA. Stone
has been selected as clerk of the course
and D. K Stacy as assistant in the
speed department. Both these are re-
appointments fairly earned at previous
fairs.
6. G. Lyford, Of Minneapolis, has
been designated as official veterinarian
OF the fair, and will have an Office in
the building with the superintendent
OF live stock departments. It will be
his duty to determine whether animals
offered for exhibition are sound, or
otherwise, and he will also be within
call in case the service of a veterinarian
is needed.
Those interested in creamery, dairy
or print butter should note that ex-
hibitors get an increase in pro rata
premiums quite worth struggling for
this year, from the fact that all entry
fees in the dairy department are to be
added to the sum to be pro rated among
exhibitors. This amounts to a large
increase in these premiums, and makes
it certain that the exhibit will be
larger than ever before.

Climate and Crop Bulletin.

u The hot weather early in the week
was followed by general rain the 18th
and widely scattered showers in south
ern counties since then. In the mid
die west a small area seems to have
had very little rain. South of the CEN
ter of the state the rains were locally
heavy, and south of the Minnesota val
ley, and eastward from Blue Earth and
Faribault counties, the rains are said
to have been very heavy, and accom-
panied by high winds, SO that the
small grains were laid fat on the
ground over large areas, and in some
cases without the probability of their
rising sufficiently to fill well. In
northern counties the early sown
spring wheat is much better than the
later sown. The heat, moisture, lack
OF wind have been more favorable for
the growth of rust than in previous
weeks, and reports of some rust come
from nearly every direction. Notwith-
standing these drawbacks, the condi-
ton of wheat in most of the state is
still very promising. Winter wheat is
being cut in southeastern counties.

made to present to them the possibili-

hold the mines and production of such
men in their grasp, simply because they
are abundantly able to build independ-
ent smelters. No city in the state has
a more advantageous location to smelt
