HUNTERS COME BACK.
Some of Them Have Well Filled
Game Bags.
From Wednesdays Daily.

Some of the hunters have returned
from the fields, more or less laden with
game. As a rule the hunters have had
good success and feel well repaid for
their trouble, and game dinners are be-
ing served on many tables.
j. r. Snow, G.. Z. Musser and Henry
Madison returned last night from Butter
nut Valley, twenty miles from Mankato,
where they had good luck. They found
the sloughs alive with ducks, where they
have been breeding, and easy marks, as
they had not been shot at. They got
fourteen ducks and four chickens. The
ducks were mostly teal, although the
party dropped several mallards which
they did not succeed in getting, being un-
able to wade out into the sloughs
Chas. j. Macbeth and G. 4. Lewis went
in about an hour secured eight prairie
necessary to go far away from home in
order to get good shooting.
Joseph Ruerup brought back seventeen
ducks from Swan Lake last night, most
ly teal, with two red heads. Oscar Ben
nett got eight ducks there, when his gun
refused to work further. Henry Dreher
got eight, Jack Theissen eleven and
Wallie Anderson a nice bunch. Others
also met with success. The hunters who
were at this lake say that
it is grown up with Won
derful growth of weeds, twice as
high as a mans head, so that rowing is
impossible, the only way to make prog
ress being by means of push poles. New
Tim parties at Nelson's bay are having
the best shooting, as the water is more
open there. Owing to the high weeds,
it is hard to avoid accidents where the
hunters are close together, and Ed.
Pfeiffer yesterday received a part of a
charge of shot in his back. A shot
struck Geo. Brooks just under one eye.
Had it struck him half an inch higher it
would probably have destroyed the sight
of the eye.
Gotfried and Fred Kruse were out
through Nicollet county yesterday, but
succeeded in getting only three chickens.
They found the coveys already broken
up. indicating that shooting had been
done there out of season.
A hardware dealer at Nicollet shot a
white red head duck at Swan lake yester-
day. The bird is great rarity.
Frank McLauren was among those who
hunted duck at Swan Lake. He was
literally rewarded for the time and labor
spent

BLUE EARTH'S CORN.
Elegant Display at State Fair By
Messrs. McOuffee and lust.
From Wednesdays Daily.

One of the most interesting displays
is that made by Blue Earth county,
which has sent w. j. McDuffee and J..
F. Just of Rapidan to represent it's ad-
vantages. The corn display is excellent,
both as to dent and flint corns. The
black Mexican sweet corn is not appetiz-
ing to look at, but is said to be very
toothsome. Here are shown black winter
radishes, warranted to keep until spring,
curious vine with red pods like Japan
csc lanterns, ground cherries, which
make very fine preserves, garlic and
many curious and valuable products.
Here are shown eighty -four kinds of
wild grasses, twenty-five kinds of forage
plants and twenty tame grasses.-Minne-

From Tuesdays Daily.

While in st. Paul yesterday, County
Attorney Wilson went to the state fair
and saw Dan Patch try to lower his own
record. A running horse was the pace
maker, and the mile was made in Just
two minutes. 1t was a remarkable per-

one second to equal his previous accom-
plishment. The crowd cheered Justify.
There was much disorder in the grand
stand, as there was no policeman there,
and the crowd persisted in standing up
and shutting off the view of those behind
them during all of the races.

WORK FOR ITALIAN IMMIGRANTS.

Sir: May I ask for space in which to say good

existence, under the persevering and thoroughly
busnesslike presidency OF the young lawyer. Eliot
Norton 1t has accomplished great and vastly need
ed work. distributing immigrants without charge
thousands of dollars sent by the friends of the
newly arrived; informing, advising and protecting
urmbcriess beWfdered Italians; rendering valuable
assistance to the United States immigration author
tiles; escortinE thousands OF frendiess immigrants,
eulpIoynient for hundreds OF laborers-
The very large immigration from Italy makes the
work of this society one OF the most valuable and
far reaching beneYolenceS of our day. / say far
