The street carnival features were
very successful. Main street for three
evenings was crowded with merry
makers, goodnatured and out for fun,
ana thousands of young and old took
in the enjoyment. There were tight
wire bicycling, trapese performers, and
other entertainment provided. The
sidewalks were reserved for those who
wished to be merely spectators and the
street was taken by the confetti
battlers and all who wished to take an
active part in the sports of each eve
ming. There were no accidents and
there was very little disposition to be
unduly rough. The visitors present
included j. M. Diment, Owatonna, A.

FAIR A GRAND SUCCESS
One of the Most Successful Fairs
and Street Carnivals Ever Held
in Southern Minnesota.

The Mower county agricultural fair
which closed Thursday afternoon was
one of the best ever held here. The

All the buildings were filed, and there

Russia Preparing for Long Struggle
With Characteristic De-
liberation.
Japan Still Has Difficult Problem in
Transporting Troops to
Korea.

New York Sun Special Service.
London, Feb. 22.-'rhe war between
Japan and Russia is scarcely in it's
initial stage. Military operations on
q, large scale cannot be expected for
several weeks. The lurid stories of
battles sin progress on the Yalu
river, the reported attempts to
ksnd Japanese armies on the Lao
tung peninsula, and the furious COM
bats on sea are only preliminary feat
ures Of Il war that has yet actually to
begin.
Russia is preparing for a long strug-
gle and preparing with characteristic
elaboration. She has already de-
signed 100000 troops for service in
the far east. It will require weeks to
transport the 100000 or 100000 men
who are going from European Russia.
Two hundred and forty trains run
two hours apart for four months
would transport the necessary soldiers.
Military experts here declare that
Russia cannot transport more than
5000 men a day. At that rate, two
months will be required to send 200,-
600 men to the far east.
Japan's difficulties are not so SER
ious, but she still has a difficult
problem In transportation to solve. 1t
Is believed that Japan will send al
least 100000 men to the Yalu river
The distance is practically 1000 miles
by sea.
All reports say that Japan has 100
Transports These transports proba-
bly, can carry 10000 men,
All delays would bring the time UP
to ten days as the limit in which Japan
could land 100000 men on Korean soil
anywhere In the vicinity of Chemulpho
or north Of the mouth of the Yalu
This means over 10000 troops In a
month. Japan is not likely to begin
large movements when she has
100000 men In Korea. TO do sc
would be a military crime.

will finally select the ticket will be
postponed until this more important

postponed until this more important
question has been settled.
The leaders are evenly divided.
Those who want to attempt winning
fight now are matched in number and
ability by those who think it would
be the part of wisdom to postpone Sc
rious effort for another four years,
and thus give the party time to re-
Govern from the fractional paralysis
which has crippled it since the coming
of Organism.
The chief consideration controlling
those who want to make determined
effort for victory this year is the be-
lief that the country is not far from
a financial and industrial disturbance
of considerable magnitude. They
think that prosperity is on it's last
legs and that before election day the
party now in power will be held re-
I.sponsible for hard times, just as the
democratic party was held RESPONSE
Bile in 1893.
There are some indications, and they
have existed for a number Of months,
of a settling down Of business to a
somewhat lower level than it has been
occupying since 1897. Republicans
are aware that the present year may
bring about still further decline, but
| they do not look for anything like a
| panic. Still, some of the democratic
| leaders continue to advance the argu-
ment that their party ought not to
decide what kind of campaign it will
make, or who it's candidates are to be,
until something more tangible can be
| found out about the near approach
No democrat thinks that his party will
| do any better than it did in 1900 un-
! less something of this kind takes place
