FAIR WILL BE A GO.
n. c. Hance Feels Delighted Over the
Prospects Of Association.

From Fridays Daily.
II. +. Hance, one of the members OF
the board of governors OF the new Man
kato Fair association is quite enthusiasts
tic over the outlook for the fair. He
says the fair will be a 90 and every
body in Mankato is boosting it along.
Mr. Hance had talk yesterday with
one of the most prominent county fair
men of Illinois and he told
Mr.. Hance to boost the agricultural
department more than any other. This
department will no doubt be one of the
leading features of the fair. The com-
ty fair i'm Illinois do more to improve
conditions on the farm than any other
thing 1t taught the farmers to be
scientific and it learned them to diver
sify. They are making good invest
ments on land that is worth from $3.50
to 5000 an acre.
1t will be only question of time I'M
til the farmers in this state will fall in
line and do the same kind of farming
If we can double the income from our
farm products in Blue Earth county we
certainly can't do anything that will
be more beneficiary to the community
than to 60 ahead and push the fair
proposition.
John b. Meagher of st. Paul was in
the city yesterday and he told Mr..
Hance he was very enthusiastic over
the new fair proposition. He was sure
it would be big success.
The committees succeeded in rails
ing several hundred dollars yesterday.

ficient guarantee of some fast travel ing today. While Hazel Patch has a lower record than Zolock there is good reason for believing that Zolock when in condition can beat any record he has yet made. Driver Delaney says the fine thing about Zolock is the fact that he is dependable. If he can go one heat in a given time he can go three in the same time when he is properly conditioned. Respecting Hazel Patch it is pertinent at this time to explain the peculiarity of his name, though il has been printed before. Most people have an impulse to refer to Hazel as 'she" even though he is a horse, judg ing from the name Hazel, which is of ten given to a girl but never to a boy. The name Patch is a surname. That is he was sired by a hrose named Hard Patch. He was named Hazel because he roamed in a patch of hazel brush when a colt.

The grave will be opened, the box lifted out and taken to the race track and opened when the sleeper will be bidden to rise and walk. This is a most wonderful exhibition and the curious who desire to prove to their own satisfaction that it is no fake should all take a look into the grave before they go into the grand stand.

He says the attempt Of course. was madness and was bound to be extinguished in blood. Nevertheless, he alleges, there was a heroic spirit behind it, which should terrify the government.
 Another such victory and the gov. eernment is lost says M. Struve, who in conclusion summons all the forces of emancipation to bury their dissen- sions and to unite in a final struggle.
 The report that Lieutenant General Mistchenko has been wounded is not true. With the evident object of in- flaming sentiment abroad the revolu- tionary agents are putting out a story to the effect that the government is deliberately plotting a general massa- ere of Jews. These agents display what purports to be the text of an appeal by 9 rabbi addressed to the Jews to fight against the cross, which they de- clare is being printed by the ministry of marine for distribution among the ignorant classes, with the object of producing a concerted attack Inves- tgation fails to substantiate the charge that the government is favoring any such document.

Washington, D.

Beveridge's accusation is re- sented by senators who regard it as personal reflection upon those who dis agree with Beveridge's views.
 The circulars so industriously circu- lated seem to be having a boomerang effect and several senators heretofore regarded as indifferent or favorable to joint statehood are now certain to op- pose the union with New Mexica and fight Beveridge to a finish.

THE CRUSHED
 PROLETARIAT
The Movement Was Begun
 PrematureIy
It is Now Feared that the Scattered RevOlutionists Will Resort to Ter roriSm.

St. Petersburg, Dec. 29.-The SUD- pression of the insurrection at Moscow and the certainty that similar uprisings elsewhere will be crushed, marked the collapse of t,e first attempt of the reds" to overthrow the government arms and administer a defeat from which tt is not believed in government , circles the revolutionaries will quickly recover.
 Now that tho smoke of battle is clearing away, the utter hopelessness of the conflict seems to be apparent { The populace held aloof and not a sin gle military unit actually joined the revolutionaries. Even the general strike crumbled under their feet by their challenging and precipitating a conflict before the proletariat organiza- tions were prepared. The government | secured comparatively easy victory and l it is believed in high official circles that the organizations have been so demoralized and disrupted by the blow and by the arrest of their most able i leaders that it would be impossible for them to attempt the coup planned for , the anniversary of Bloody Sunday" In desperation undoubtedly the revo- lutionaries will again have recourse to acts or terror which they will spring at the most unexpected moment.
 The country has quieted down, and the cabinet now hopes that the select ions to the douma are assured and that the government can devote it's time to the suppression of the revolt in the
 Baltic provinces and more especially
 to the solution of the agrarian ques-
 tion. If means cannot be found to
 satisfy in some measure the land hun ger of the pesants before spring, the
 universal opinion is that the peasants 1 everywhere will rise. The landed pro- prietors seem to be convinced of this to such extent that the landlords in the neighborhood of Minsk are calling
 their tenants together and are volun- tarily arranging the distribution of a . portion of their private holdings upon
 terms satisfactory to the peasants.
