the only thing the council asks for

well known that the newspaper men

it be a good thing to ask for bids also

MINNESOTA is RISING.
Water Has Left Its Banks Near New
Uim: Road Threatened.

st. Peter, Sept. 4.-For the second
time this summer the Minnesota river is
OH rampage. Heavy rains throughout
this section and at the headwaters have
swollen its tributaries and for several
days the stream has been rising rapidly
until it is higher than at any time this
year.
Near New Ulm the river has left its
banks and farmers in that vicinity re-
port that their cornfields are submerged.
In several instances the farmers who
had their corn washed out during the
June freshet but who replanted their
fields will lose the second crop.
Last spring the river carried away part
of its bank north of this city, partially
undermining the highway leading to OF
tawa and threatening to damage the new
piece of track recently completed by the
Chicago, ST. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha
Hallway company. To protect their
grade from it's inroads the Omaha Of
ficials decided to riprap the bank, but
had been waiting for the water to recede
before beginning operations Conditions
are now more serious than ever and the
sudden rise of the river will probably
hasten the work.

MANxAT0 FAIR NOTES.
for Exhibit Space Com .
ing In. Attra etions Signed.

From Tuesdays Daily. ~. '- ?, .'a-
The contract for the free attractions
at the coming fair in this city was signed
today. The premium lists, which were
sent out the other day, are already bring
ing returns, for great many applications
for entry blanks for cattle have been
received. The agricultural part of the
fair promises to be well taken care of
by the farmers. Among the exhibitors
of horses will be Burgess &. Luckyn, the
importers. There will be parade of
blooded stock in front of the grand stand.
Thirty two stalls are now ready, and
it is intended to have about sixty in all.
Exhibition hall is about half completed.
The ball ground is in nice shape, and
also the track.
In preparing the premium lists, the
class of Guernsey cattle was ,inadvert-
antly omitted. The management wishes
it to be understood that all stock that
is worthy of prizes viii be awarded the
same, no matter whether in the prem
ium list or not. In the chicken class,
only adults are specified, but young
chickens will also be entitled to prizes
if worthy of them. 81.
The first day, Sept. 20, has been desig-
mated Mankato day; the second day,
Sept. 81, st. Peter and Nicollet county
day; and the third day, Sept. %, Blue
Earth county day. A good racing pro-
gram mas been prepared for each day.
S A. L. Cole, republican candidate for
governor, has consented to speak Fri
day, Sept. 81. Gov. Johnson was unable
to arrange his dates SO as to give the
fair one, much to the regret of all. An
effort will be made to secure another
speaker.
All that is needed now to ensure the
success of the Mankato fair will be good
weather.

BORGEN IS RELEASED.
No Evidence That He Robbed Harry
Walden Of Watch.
From Tuesdays Daily.

from TUESDAY s DAILY.
A man named John Bergen, suspected
of stealing a watch from Harry Walden,
an employee of Winston Brothers. in this
city on July Fourth, has been under ar
rest i'm Minneapolis for several days. The
Mankato and Blue Earth officials have
been unable to get any trace of Walden,
who left Minneopa some time ago, and
Bergen was released yesterday afternoon.
The Minneapolis officials were not re-
quested to release Bergen until the
ground had been gone over very care
fully, and it was seen that there was abb
solutely no evidence by which it could
be hoped to secure, a conviction. Bergen
strongly denied the theft, and he did not
have the watch in his possession, neither
do. the officers know where it is.
It will be remembered that Walden
came to, the city on the Fourth, and with
one or two companions wandered to the
Minnesota river bank and lay down and
went to sleep. When he awakened, his
valuable gold watch was gone, and SO
were his companions. Bergen is thought
to have been one of the men who was
with Walden at the time.

Guttersen's candidacy very lightly and
would not admit, except to his closest
friends, that Guttersen would make a
strong and popular candidate. But, as
the weeks went by, and Mr.. Guttersen
grew in popularity all over the district,
where he has lived as boy and man,
McClearY began to sit up and take no
tice."
Last week, when GIttersen, in an open,
manly and frank manner, printed Presi-
dent Roosevelt's letter to Congressman
Watson, relating to the tariff, and show
ed conclusively that the president, stood
for revision of certain schedules of the
existing Dingley bill, Mr.. McCleary be-
came desperate, for he had arranged to
print only portion of the presidents
tariff statement, which could be. con-
strued as giving comfort to the stan
patters.. ,...s.
When Guttersen came out with 10000
copies of The Mankato Free Press, print
ing Roosevelt's letter in full, and also a
statement showing that, of the repub-
lican nominees for congress in MinnesO-
ia, all except McCleary, are for revision,
the latter became furious, and at once
proceeded to challenge Guttersen to joint
debate during the last ten days of the
campaign.
McCleary assumes a great deal when
he makes all of his arrangements in adj
vance and then expects Mr.. Guttersen
to cancel. his appointments, which he has
made clear up to the date of the pri-
maries.
McCleary, according to the statements
of "a well known labor leader of Manka-
to-, forced himself into the Labor-day
program at Mankato and, as he intends
to profit politically by making a speech
there is much unfavorable talk in labor
circles. 4 1911 n
Guttersen has McCleary, on the run
and 1T is quite probable that he will
keep on according to his original pro
gram, until the primaries. as.t.

Charles Demoaaia Gets Thirty Days
I Straight.

FROM TUESDAY Dduy.
/ Charles Demogala was today given a
sentence of thirty days in Jail, without
the alternative of a fine, by Judge Com
stock, for striking his wife, small, frail
looking woman with pleasant face. De-
mogala is no stranger in the police court
When sober he is a good, hard working
citizen, but when drunk his nature is
revOlutionized. He had been drinking
yesterday and came home late in the
afternoon. He called his fve-year
boy, but the little fellow ran away in
terror. .Demogala caught the boy and
was shaking him when the mother in
terferred. This riled Demogala, and i'll
a passion he struck his wife. At this,
his twenty -one-year- son interferred
and struck his father. Mrs. Demogala sub
sequently swore out a warrant charging
her husband with assault in the third
degree.
Demogala tried to minimize hsi offense
and put his actions. in. a favorable light
for himself, when arraigned, but the son
was sent for, and the story came out as
related above.

FINE COUNTY { XHiBlTS.
That Of Blue Esrth Will Be Among
the Top. Notche,s.

st. Paul, Sept. 1.-The decoration of
the great agricultural hall at the state
fair grounds is now complete. The work
has been handsomely done and exceeds
last years Identification. j. NJ. Under
wood of the fair board. who is superin-
tendent of the agricultural and horticul-
tural divisions of the fair said today
that the exhibits in his depai tment would
exceed 1905 in number by about 80 per
cent.
This enormous increase is largely in
individual exhibits by farmers, won
derful evidence of the progress of the
fair as an educational factor in agri-
cultural matters. There are more than
l,2OO entries i'll the agricultural divi-
sion alone. Among these are eleven farm
exhibits. In the sweepstakes collections
of corn and grains there are from ten
to a dozen entries in every classification.
County exhibits will be fine in quail
ity. The competing counties are Itas-
ca, Blue Earth, Morrison, Houston, Good
hue and Oln.stead. The horticultural ex-
hibit is being put in place and will be
better in quality than last year, al
though this is not good year generally.
The new steel stairway from the Sec
ond floor of the grandstand have been
completed. They are at either end of
the great structure, and will make the
upper deck-always the best place to see
the track-absolutel safe, as in the
event of any disturbance it can be en-
piled in few minutes. These stairways
are on the front of the grandstand, and
lead directly down into the space be-
tween the stand and the track.
1t is reported that the challenge of
Miss Marie Quinn of the Old Kentucky
company will be accepted by Miss
Blanche Cook, who is to ride in the

PUT UP A GREAT GAME.
Jackson and MapIeton Teams Play
Ball at Easton.
CO.. Dali

odfuIudy
Charles Wyatt, the base ball enthusi-
asst of the L. Patterson Mercantile COM
pany travelling force was in EastOn yes
terday and took in the Merchants field
day sports. A ball game was played
between Mapleton and jackson, result
ing in the score 2 to 0 in favor of Jack
son. 1t was pitchers battle. After
the first inning neither side scored. Spe-
cial praise must be given to the Maple
ton boys for putting up one of the best
games played during this season.
Schroeder of Mapleton had perfect con-
troll of the ball, holding the Jackson
boys down to very few hits. The
score shows what Bartho, Jacksons
pitcher did and to him is due much of
the credit as to the shut out. The
sensation of the game, however, was
Wasgatt of Winnebago, whom every
fan in Mankato has known for years.
After making long run, catching fly,
he fell down, still keeping the ball in
his right hand.
Several good races, both automobile
and horse were pulled off and the field
day was decided success.
