Attorney Albert Hauser was in
the city on legal business Thurs
day.
County Treasurer Johnson and
family left yesterday for Marshall
county and other points in northern
Minnesota, where they will spend
few days visiting with Mr.. John
sons parents, who have farming in
terests in that section.
Miss Marie Hornburg left for
visit at Fairfax on Monday and on
Thursday was followed by her Sis
ters, Mrs. w. F. Mailer and Mrs.

to Redwood Falls Saturday evening.
New Ulm Review: W. D. lib
belts of Delhi, passed through the
city Sunday on his return from St.
Peter, where he attended the fun
eral of his cousins, Archie and
Malcolm Mcdonald, who were killed
last week in the explosion of the
North Star creamery.
Till Tibbetts returned from a trip
to Minneapolis last Wednesday
evening. MIR. Tibbetts has been
having the gasoline engine for his
launch repaired, the new one which
he purchased recently being too
large for the launch. He shipped
the old engine to the factory several
days before he started for Minneap-
oils, and through some cause it had
not reached there when he left.
County Treasurer Johnson was
given the pleasure of knowing that
the checking up of his Office by the
board of audit several days ago,
and by the board of county commits
sioners last Wednesday, showed a
perfect condition of affairs. The
checking was the first in the offio e
under Mr.. Johnson s management,
and that it was correct to a cent
speaks well for his management Of
the financial affairs of the county.
Crop reports to the Chicago &
Northwestern headquarters in Wi
mona are of an optimistic character
In Minnesota, including all Chicago
q Northwestern territory, the crop
condition is good From Winona to
Waseca crops acreage in order
named, barley, corn, oats, flax,
wheat. Waseca to state line, in
Guiding the branches, wheat, bar
ley, oats, corn, flax. All has a
good stand, is not lodged, and prom
Uses above an average yield at the
present time. The crop in eastern
Minnesota will not stand unless we
get dry weather, and at once. The
same is true of barley throughout
the entire state, but to date there is
no damage either by rust or lodg-
ment. Rust is in some fields of oats,
but to date does not cause injury.
| There is some fun in Olivia and
Bird Island, all on account of the
county fair and race meeting sched-
uled for Olivia on Sept. goth and
Both and Oct. 1st. At the circuit
meeting at Hanley Falls Olivia was
represented by J. A. Schaefer, who
asked for those dates. Bird Island
was not represented and the dates
we're assigned to Olivia Since that
time Bird Island has held a meet
ing and decided to have the county
fair in that town, and Editor Childs
has been 'plugging" Messrs. Ros-
enwald and Evans to assign the
Olivia dates to Bird Island. In the
meantime Secretary Evans wrote to
Mr.. Schaefer asking him whether
Olivia proposed to clinch the dates.
Maj. Bowling replied last Thursday
that Olivia insisted on the dates,
and while the town could not have
the county fair on account of Bird
Island securing that attraction it
would have a good race meeting,
anyway. 1t looks as though Olivia
has the inside track for the horses,
although Bird Island might get
them by postponing the meeting at
that place for one week
