July celebration at Redwood Falls
on Monday, Tuesday and Wednes-
day of last week. These bouquets
haye been coming from people who
were fortunate enough to be here
on any one or all three days
visitors numbering way up in the
thousands and crowding the streets,
encalnpment grounds, and amuse-
ment centers to overlooking.

| W Il y ClOck noon. AL ABOUT y
o'clock the Belview band of Is
pieces, with a drum major, drove
into town. At the same hour the
Redwood band started up the music,
and ID minutes later they were
joined by their Belview brethren
and the entire aggregation marched
around town playing National airs,
lasting until after ten o'clock. The
! entertainment by the special artists
commenced and lasted until 1870
O'Clock, when the 1000 or more
people present commenced searching
for points of advantage for the
street parade.
Following the parade came dinner,
and after dinner the bands again
joined in National slections and
finally led the crowd to the park
where Charles T. Howard delivered
the short Grafton of the day. An
other public entertainment by the
special artists followed and con-
tinued until rain set in late in the
afternoon, and postponed the events
until 7 o'clock ia the evening,
when the Suwanee river crowd
presented a colored camp meeting
act and the DeClairvilles did their
trapeze act, and with music by both
bands, closed the three days show.

contract called for and the committee
is loud in it's praises of the entire
aggregation. Every member of the
colored troop made an Individual
and collective hit and Redwood
Falls people will always be glad to
give them an endorsement.
The same may pe said of the De-
Clairvilles, the trapeze and Roman
ring performers. They were loudly
applauded by everybody, and the
applause at the last performance
was greater than atthe first. With

imitator, has few equals. He was
courteous to the committee and did

Too much cannot be said for the

Having produced an egg from pre-

he would follow up this trick by bring
ing from the bag the hen by which the
egg had been laid. This little arrange

carry out.
He proceeded to draw the bird from

placed, but what was his CONSERVATION

laughter. and the unfortunate conjurer

Clinton, Dec. 3l.'The supervisors of
the Second congressional district, who
have just held conve ntion in this city,
are OF the opinion that there should be
some new legislation relative to the
government of the poor and the insane.
During the session Supervisor John
Ballard, of Scott county, read a paper
advocating that each county build and
maintain a home for the children of
paupers. He said the expense would
apparently be heavy, yet thought the
expense OF looking after criminals and
paupers would be greatly essened if
each county had such an institution.
He said the children of the paupel are
unable physically, morally and mem
tally to compete with other children
and soon develop criminal instincts,
which eventually land them in either
the poor house or the penitentiary. He
care of they would become useful and
valuable citizens.
The convention was also of the opin-
ion that IL the board of control is to
regulate the care of the insane the state

those of unsound mind. The board OF.
control dictates to the supervisors what
must be done with the insane and the
county has to bear the expense.
Before ACCOUNTING the following reso-
1utions were adopted:
Resolved, That this convention far
vors the adoption of one district town.
ship road plan and that this resolution
be carried to the state convention of
supervisors. to be held at Nlarshalltown
in January.
whereas. The state has absolute
control OF the insane be it
Resolved. That the state audit the
bills and approve of the same and pay
them out of the state fund, and that
this resolution be carried TO the state
convention
Resolved, That the paper on The
Children OF the Pauper, presented by
Supervisor Ballard. meets the approval
and is heartily endorsed by This con-
vention, especially that portion which
relates to the providing of temporary
home and its conduct; and that the
) legislature BE- urged to enact such laws
for the government of children of de-
pendent parents that would give 10 the
boards of supervisors full control of
said children. and topmake such disp Dos
al OF said children as the board may
deem to their best interest.
II was also ordered that this resolu-
tion be presented at the state meeting.
