Minnesota Fair Greatest.

A dispatch from Chicago says that
Minnesota has the greatest agricultural
fair in the world. This was conceded
Wednesday night at the meeting of Il
American Association of Fairs at Chi"
cago.
No official reports were made in this
matter, but privately Vice President b.
F. Nelson, Secretary Randall and Man
ager l.. D. Baird received many congrat-
ulations.
Minnesota is so far ahead of other
states that there is really no compari-
son.
Minnesotas fair cleared $4,000 this
year. Iowa cleared about $4,000, and
the next best paying fair was Indiana
with $4,000. Wisconsin's profits were
$4,000.

What's in a Name.

! The Minnesota Historical Society has
started movement to ascertain the
names of townships, villages, post
offices, railway stations, rivers, creeks,
lakes and the hills or bluffs, etc. of
each county in the state.
When a name is for some early set
tier or other person, a statement is de-
sired as to the place where he was born
and the date, also the year when he
came to Minnesota and when he settled
in the county.
For any names of Indian origin, the
meaning or significance of the name 8
desired; and for other names, why these
names were so applied.
In short give the reason, whenever it
can be learned, why each name, from
whatever derivation, was so adopted
and given to the township, village,
post. office, railway station, river or
creek, bluff or hill.
If any of our readers are in posses
sion of such information we shall be
pleased to have it forwarded to the
Transcript.
A series of articles on this subject
will no doubt prove interesting to our
readers.
Similar articles will be published in
newspapers in other counties of the
state. From these newspapers, which
are received regularly by the Historical
Society, all the information obtained
will be compiled and published as a
volume on "Minnesota Geographical

The inexcusable killing of human
being should receive just punishment.
