Senior United States Senator
Will Speak at Theatre.
Splendid Address and Large
Out Pouring Assured.
Party;Is Getting Into Line for
Dunn All Over State.i
From Fridays Daily.

United States Senator Knute Nelson
has been secured for an address in this
city on Saturday evening, Oct. 18th. The
opera house has been secured for the
occasion, and the campaign in Mankato
and Blue Earth county will be opened at
that time.
Senator Nelson is one of the best and
brainiest speakers in the state, if not in
the northwest, and his appearance at diff
ferent times in this city has always been
the occasion for a great out pouring of
the people. Senator Nelson always has
good ideas, and clothes them in words
that are at once plain to all and forse-
full. John Z. Diamond, state committee
man from this city, was fortunate in Sc
curing date from Senator Nelson, and
no doubt the opera house will be crowd
ed to the doors. 1t is likely that dele
cations from all parts of the county will
be present, as well as from Nicollet
county, to give the senator rousing re-
ception. The date should be borne in
mind.
Mr.. Diamond states that matters are
lively at the republican state headquart-
ers at st. Paul. He was there yester-
day, and the atmosphere was permeated
with confidence in the rolling up of an
unusually heavy vote for the republi-
can ticket, and the triumphant election
of the state ticket from Dunn down.
w. E. Young, candidate for railway
and warehouse commissioner, has return
ed from a trip to Breckenridge, and
states that there is very little disaffec-
ton in that part of the state, accord
ing to the best information Obtainable.
He was assured that the few republi-
cans who were at first on the fence on
the gubernatorial question are now get
ting into line nicely. Dunn's election is
now confidently expected. 1t is only a
question of the size of his majority,
and that will depend upon how fully the
vote is gotten out.

Come in for Recognition at
the Worlds Fair.
Their Exhibits Placed Among
the Top No!chers.
Honors Bestowed Where They
RightfuIIy Belong.
From Fridays Daily.

The detailed list of awards to the Min
nesota educational exhibit at the Louis
lana Purchase exposition at st. Louis not
only shows that Minnesota made clean
sweep in this department but the dis
tribution of medals emphasizes the COM
pleteness of the exhibit i'll all depart
ments. The medals are distributed
among all branches of the Minnesota
school system, showing that the states
exhibit accomplished what it was in
tended to accomplish, to be perfect ex-
position of the whole educational sys-
tenn of the state, with each department
represented in its proper proportion.
This feature of the Minnesota exhibit
is what has attracted the attention of
the educators that have visited the fair.
Though the Minnesota exhibit was
smaller and less elaborate than the eX-
hibits of other states, it attracted more
attention from appreciative visitors be-
cause of its perfection and symmetry.
That this also appealed to the judges is
shown by their awards.
The Minnesota educational exhibits
won the grand prize, nine gold medals,
eight silver medals and two bronze med
ais. The awards are divided into three
groups, elementary education, secondary
education and higher education in all of
which Minnesota gets it's full share.
In the department of elementary edu-
cation the grand prize is awarded to the
Minnesota commission, Louisiana Pur-
chase exposition. Gold medals are
awarded to Miss S. E. Sirwell, collabora
tor, and to st. Paul and Minneapolis.
North Mankato gets silver medal and
Tracy bronze medal.
In the department of secondary edu-
cation gold medals are awarded to the
board of commissioners, Louisiana Pur
chase exposition, the board of education
of ST. Paul, the board of education of
Minneapolis, medal jointly to the me-
chanic arts high school of st. Paul and
the manual training school of Mime
apolis and one to the state normal school
at Winona. Silver medals go to the
state normal schools at WinOna, Man
kato, st. Cloud, Moorhead and Duluth,
to the teachers training school at st.
Paul and to the collaboration, Miss S. E.
Sirwell.
In the higher education group the Uni
versity of Minnesota gets a gold medal
for it's general exhibit and bronze
medal for its special exhibit of draw
ings, etc.
