Ike Lederer Improving.

G. L. Decker has received letter
from Ike Lederer, one of the best
Elks in the state, IN which the popu-
lar travelling salesman states that he
is feeling fine since he returned from
his southern trip and has again set
foot on the streets of St. Paul.
Ike was taken very ill last winter,
and at one time it was believed that
he would surely pass to the great
beyond. He was sent to Mineral
Wells, Texas, where his stay appears
to have greatly benefited his health.

in this north country, and they will

A special effort will be made to
care for the ladies who will accom-
pany the Elks to Bemidji. Mrs. J. c..
Parker, one of the most enthusiastic
of the local lady Elks, has been
given full charge of the arrange
ments to care for the lady visitors.
She has been given liberal funds
and authorized to secure all needed
assistance. All ladies who come
will be as royalty entertained as will
the Elks themselves.
While the program for the three
days of the meeting has not yet
been prepared in its entirety,
enough has already been decided
upon to have something doing"
every minute of the three days and
a large portion of the nights of the
meeting.
The local committee has closed
contract with the proprietors of
the boat company whereby every
boat belonging to that concern will
be chartered for the free use of
visiting Elks and ladies so that they
can enjoy fishing and boating to
their hearts content at any time
they desire to use the boats.
There will also be plenty of gaso-
line launches which, with the row.
boats and plenty of fishing tackle,
bait and guides, will give the Elks
all they desire in that line.
The committee on sports has al
ready secured the famous Hibbing
baseball team to play here on the Is
and 10 of June, the first and second
days of the meet. The Bemidji team
will be strengthened by professional
players from the league teams of St.
Paul and Minneapolis and will be an
organization formidable enough tc
give the range team some very
strong games. On the last day Of
the meeting it is expected some other
teams will play, probably from the
twin cities, which will give the people
the best baseball games ever pulled
off in the north half hf the state.
One of the features of the meet
will be the presence of a large band
of Red Lake Indians, who will give
dances and boat races, ETC., every

which will be held in Bemidji June
1890 is assured by the various

meeting.
Letters have been received from
G. S. Pease of Anoka, president of
the State Association, and N. S.
Nelson of Saltwater, secretary, in
which they assure the cooperation
of themselves and all Elks in the
state. Already these officers have
extended official invitations to the
members of every lodge in the state
to attend the meeting to be held
here, and while there are two lodges
that are not members of the asso-
citation, it is expected that these
organizations will join before the
dates of the state meeting.
The committee on transportation
reported that all agents of railroads
centering here, together with their
representatives in St. Paul, were CO.

in the matter of furnishing equip
ment and accommodations while in

program was we'll taken care of,

A large crowd of Elks and other
visitors not members of the B. P. O..

state meet and the members of the
Bemidji lodge are making prepara-

Apples in fayette County.

Until the other day we did not sup
pose there was an orchard Of any
great extent in Fayette county. A
visit to the VIM. Bright farm in Gen.
ter township reveals otherwise. He
has 108 trees, thirteen years old and a
new orchard of 1874 hardy young trees
which have not begun to fruit, in all
about five acres in orchard. To illus
trate the producing qualities of these
trees he informed as that last year
from two trees he picked thirty
bushels of Pattens Greetings which
sold for $50. This. however, was only
a small percentage of the money he
received from the apple harvest that
year. He has demonstrated, that,
with proper care, superior apples can
be raised in this section of Iowa.

Hatched Without Hen or Incubator.

John Fales. down at Spring Branch,
has brood of seven chicks that were
Matched without the aid of a hen OF
incubator. About three weeks age
he found that one of his hens had laid
seven eggs in the seed box of his corn
planter, which he had left on the
south side of his barn. To protect
them from the sun until later when
he expected to take them to the house,
he closed the lid. but that was the
last he thought of the eggs at all. One
day last week, John Henry Lewis,
who works for Mr.. Fales, was passing
the corn planter, and attracted by q
noise within the box, he raised the
lid and revealed seven thrifty young
chicks. The sun had been beating
down hot all the time since the eggs
were laid in the unusual nest and the
nights have not been excessively cool.
Thus the climatic conditions have
been Of character to supply the ele-
ments furnished by the hen, the fluffy
little chicks natural mother. or by the
incubator.

Want Another Train.

Travelling men and business men in
all the cities on the Milwaukee road
between here and McGregor are pre-.
pairing to sing requiem TO their
patronage of the road, unless compli-
ance is made within thirty days to
the request embodied in a petition
which asks for another passenger train
between here and the river east. The
petition asks that the train leave
Mason City at six o'clock or the
abouts every morning east bound and
return here at 10 80 or IL o'clock at
night from the east. The idea is to
lessen the congestion of travel between
here and points east and the same
time add to the comfort of the regular
traveller and to his business. Five
petitions are circulating between
Mason City and the river. One
petition which has been going the
rounds here the past week has 500
names by actual count and it is said
that other petitions which have been
circulated in Charles City, Postville,
New Hampton and other points bear
as many. proportionately. The tra7el.

The governor puts his own personal
ambition ahead of the welfare of his

payers of the state. He wants to be
senator, no matter what it may cost
his party or the people. His plans
have so far miscarried, with the re-
suit of still further widening the
