last Sunday pleasantly at the Point.
Tuesday morning a peg down fishing
contest was had the fleet comprising
thirteen boats. The total catch was IN
the neighborhood of 100, and the prize
was won by Winfield j. Taylor.
There have been number of very
pleasant social functions at the Point
during the week, the heat seeming not
to lessen the intention of the guests to
have the pleasantest time possible.
Saturday evening a highly enjoyable
salmagundi party was participated in
by the hotel family.
Monday evening the Mesdames Ever
EFT gave water melon party on the
spacious lawn, and the havoc wrought
upon the unsuspecting succulent
trailers and the appetites displayed
would have done credit to the relieved
inhabitants of Ladysmith The mem
bers of the party from old Texas per-
haps thought they were par excellence
at eating water melons, but they now
know that the northerners do not need
much instruction in that line.
Tuesday evening an impromptu,
though successful and most entertain
ing, musical was given in the airy
parlors. The family of Emil Schoyen,
who are at the Ray cottage this week,
were drawn upon, his daughters, with
violin and cello taking the principal
part in the program. The playing of
these young ladies elected the merited
praise of every one present. Miss
Goodrich, talented elocutionist, read
selection delightfully."- Mrs. Cairns
and Mrs. Cults rendered a pleasing vo-
cal number, accompanied by Mrs III.
A. Patterson. Mrs B. B. Davis con-
tributed an original selection in prose
and Mrs. F. W. Roe amused the audi
ence immensely by an account of the
fishing contest, done in verse. DR.. John
Merritte Driver was at his best in an
address too brief-upon his recent
travels in Europe, speaking particu-
larly of the music of the different ma
tions he visited, thus attuning his re-
marks to the dominant note of the eve
ming.

SOME POLITICS.

As rule the excessively hot season
is not conducive to excessive politi-
cal exertion, but the fact that this is a
year of general politics accounts for
the exception. 1t has been long time
since the Republicans were so thor
oughly aroused thus early in the sea-
son, and it is a good augury. Two
years of Populistic rule has cured the
people of Minnesota of that "tired
feeling which had seemed to take
hold of so many during past political
campaigns. Never has the prospect for
Republican success all along the line
been so bright as now. The national
ticket is exceptionally strong the
state ticket was never made up of bet
ter or stronger men, and the party has
the confidence of all classes
Locally speaking, the Republican
candidates for nomination are hustl-
ing. The ones who are not exercising
mind and body are Clerk Thorne
Judge Hughes, Register of Deeds
Bangerter, County Superintendent
Freeman and Sheriff Gerlich. These
gentlemen will have no opposition in
the convention and their election is
foregone conclusion. There is, to
use the slang of the urchin, red-hot
fight on for county treasurer and
i've Of Sc
tricts the contest for county commits
sioner will be waged with vigor.
The Republicans must exercise a
good deal of care in the selection of
the men who are to be placed on the
ticket for auditor and treasurer. They
are important positions. There are
men in the field seeking these nomina-
ii ons, who if chosen, will add
strength to the ticket, and care should
be taken to see that they are named.
1t is meet and proper that the people
of Blue Earth county should take up
forthwith the question of county poll
tics. The convention of Republicans
will be held in less than four weeks,
and the names of those seeking favors
at the hands of the voters should be
carefully scanned; their capabilities
and integrity conscientiously consider
ed; their fidelity to party and loyalty
to convention commands thoroughly
reviewed, and last, but not least, their
freedom from political dictation and
domineering influences.
If these matters are given thought
full consideration, confidence will be
established with the votes and success
will surely follow.

increase over the country averages M
greater than it has in these two cities
that the predictions of population
for the country of $4,000, 900 will fall
considerably short Director Merriam,
as a matter of course, refuses to com
ment on the figures that have been
given out, but says that he thinks the
largest increase in population will be
found in the middle and west and
northwestern states immigration has
tended more generally toward these
states This is likely to prove true.
But it is just possible that it will
be found that the growth of the large
cities is not as great as has been ex-
pected. 1t must be remembered that
for large portion of the period from
1898 to 1897 the cities did not increase
very rapidly in population and some
barely held their own. For awhile
the drift from city to country was con-
siderable. Increase from immigra-
ton was also at a standstill, as that
fell to a very low figure There has
not been ten years of uninterrupted
growth, as was the case from 1880 to
1890, consequently it will be strange
indeed if the census returns show a
per centage of growth up to that of
the 1890 census But it is undoubtedly
true, as Mr.. Merriam says, that the
greatest per centage of growth will be
found in the middle west and the
northwest That has been the case for
some time back.

During the week of September g.

During the week of September 3-S
the great Minnesota state fair is
scheduled to occur midway between
ST. Paul and Minneapolis. This fair
has made a phenomenal growth dur
ing recent years and now is beyond
doubt entitled to first place in the
United States. There are 200 acres in
the grounds and over 400, 600 square
feet of floor space it it's buildings. Its
exhibits are comprehensive in all lines
of production, making it veritable
exposition. 1t has the best grand
stand in the northwest; has two per-
feet race tracks, and it's day and night
amusement programs are wonderfully
interesting. Because the next Ameri-
can HEREFORD cattle exhibit, an event of
national character, will be held at this
approaching fair, the railways have
extended their half fare rates to much
of the territory of the neighboring
states, giving many more than the u.s.
ual number of people the opportunity
for seeing this great event. Visitors
will be richly entertained.
