If the predictions of Congress
man Stevens of St. Paul, ma
terialize, sit is not improbable that
congress will establish national
military park at Fort Ridgeley, as
one of the systems of parks estab-
lishedlon famous battle fields. OF
the Indian campaign in the early
sixties, there is no park yet estab-
lished on any ground of the cam
paign, and Ft. Ridgely is named as
the proper place for the same.
Chas. g. Braley of st. JohnsburY,
VT, who was visiting with old
friends here last week, stated that
while Vermont, through its last leg
islature, had recently returned from
the prohibitive to the local option
system, he expected that the state
would again return to total prohi-
bition in short time. He says
that the local option system is very
unsatisfactory in the state and that
the people are determined to wipe
it out at their next opportunity.
The Eagle Roller Mill Co. of New
Ulm has fully decided upon the To-
cations for the four new elevators
which will be erected along the
Minneapolis & ST. Louis railway.
They will be built at Fairfax, Clark
field, Dawson and Madison and as
soon as sites can be secured the
contracts will be awarded. These
buildings are to cost on an average
of 81, 500 apiece, which is over and

elevators along the Northwestern.
Jos. Chadderdon spent a few days
last week with his mother and sis
ter at this place, coming up from
Mankato where he pitched against
the strong aggregation of Albert
Lea players, nearly all salaried
men. Joe struck out Is of the 27
men that were put out by his club
and the Albert Lea sluggers are
still wondering what they were fac
ing. The Fairmont club is the or
ganization having Mr.. Chadderdon
for this season and whenever he
pitches it is agreed that he is even
a great deal stronger than last year.
The Redwood club played at Rem
vile on Tuesday afternoon of last
week, and should have won the
game, if reports are correct, though
they were defeated by a score of Z
to 2. The locals secured seven hits
off Davis, the Renville pitcher,
while the RenvilleIboys only secur-
ed four off Francois. During the
first three innings the game stood
2 to 0 in favor of the Redwood club,
and at the beginning of the fourth
inning the falling down occurred,
errors by several players sending
the whole club into the air and al
lowing the Renville aggregation to
secure it's scores. On base running
the Renville players were particu-
larly strong and stole sacks very
freely. A Redwood player remark
ed on Wednesday: ''If we had play
ed as good a game as we did at
Madison, we would have beaten the
Renville crowd of hired men sure. I"
