The best patronage.
Several picnics, ball games and other
fitting amusements were enjoyed by
the people.
1t was late Saturday night when
the carnival company folded its tents
md pulled out for Owatonna where the
show is being given this week. The
fair association will realize a snug
sum from the company's engagement
here.
Miss Blimel, the carnival queen, was
presented with the diamond ring in
the. animal show Friday evening.
One of the enjoyable observances of
The Fourth was a picnic leld at Sibley
Dark by the pupils and teachers of the
German Lutheran parochial school and
the parents of the former Judge w
T.. Comstock delivered an interesting
patriotic address. The Kerns band
furnished a musical program during
the day, and the school children sang
national songs. Basket lunches were
enjoyed at noon and early in the
evening. the remainder of the day
was spent with games and various
other amusements by the large crowd
attending.
Madison Lake held a rousing old
fashioned celebration. In the forenoon
big parade furnished amusement and
two or three bands played concerts.
Attorney c. 0. Daley of this city
delivered an grafton just before noon
and was listened to by large crowd.
A bowery dance took place during
the afternoon and evening and after
dusk there was a fine display OF
fireworks.
Another popular feature of the days

SCHOOL LEVY TO BE HIGHER
North Mankato Districts Expenses
Increased Considerable.

The North Mankato board held a
meeting last night and audited the
treasurer's report and figured out how
much of a levy must be made for the
expenses of the coming years. 1t was
found that $500 will be needed,
which is $500 greater than the amount
levied year ago. The increase is
due to the fact that an additional
teacher is being employed and an
other room is in use.
The North Mankato library board
will hold a meeting this evening at
the home of WILDER Murden.

Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-

you have rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when 1t is entirely closed.
Deafness is the result. and unless the

served by leaving them where they
were, but the emissary had little
trouble in convincing Moore that the
interests of Texas required that the
enemy's fleet should be driven north
ward toward Galveston. Moore was a
willing listener, and as the agent was
prepared to furnish $1,000, to be dis
tributed among the crews, and &c.,
600 to provision the ships. the terms
were soon agreed on.
The fleet was in the act of sailing
when two commissioners, William
Bryan and ]. Morgan. reached New
Orleans bearing dispatches from G.
W. Hill, secretary of war and marine
in the Texas cabinet, Informing Moore
officially of the secret act" and that
they were empowered to carry It into
effect. Moore says that early in Jan
uary he had received a communication
from the department-"in which
was Informed that might not even
hope for pccnniary aid from the gov
eminent to get the vessels TO sea, rs
the appropriation for the navy was a
dead letter"
The commissioners notified Moore
that nc was subject to their orders,
as they were to take charge of the
vessels, and he was instructed to nav
igate thom to Galveston. AS he was
ready to sail for Campeche he demuF-
red OH various pretexts. one being
that should he surrender the COM
mand of the fleet and subsequently
receive orders from his government
he would not bo In a position to obey
them. He probably was not aware
that the commissioners were empow-
cred by President Houston to bring
him to Washington, Texas, under ar
rest. but the commissioners were
doubtless aware that 1t would he Inn
possible for them to carry these or
ders into effect. They were author.
lied to use discretion in serving this
order of arrest on Moore, and 1t was
not until the feet was at sea that IL
was served and then Immediately
Withdrawn.
Moore finally agreed to conduct the
fleet to Galveston. and 1t sailed from
New Orleans in April. 1843. Commits

as strong as is ours today, in that 1t
was every bit as strong as its natural
and only enemy--Mexico.
On assuming command Captain
Moore started off on an extended
cruise OF the waters OF the gulf, leav-
ing the schooner off The Texas coast
TO repel any squadron that the enemy
might send against Galveston. then
as now the chief seaport OF Texas.
This cruise does not appear TO have
been very evcnttui one. but in 1910
the gallant Captain started on an
other, leaving two briggs to guard
against "dn attack on Galveston. On
this cruise the navy not only covered
Itself with glory. but what was OF
more material Importance, 1t provid-
cd itself with much needed provisions.
A Mexican schooner was captured AMI
afterward condemned and. sod, with
its cargo. for $1,000. and soon after
ward the naval force landed and seiz-
ed the town or Tobacco, and after
threats of burning It had been made
the citizens paid in cash ransom OF
$4,000. That this capture was goi-
send is attested by the captains re-
port, which states that 1t enabled him
to provision the feet and keep 1t at
sea ten months longer. In consider
ing Moore's subsequent career anti
the charges brought against him by
President Houston, it should be re-
membered that the navy appears to
have been entirely self-supporling.
Not that the Congress OF the repub-
lie did not recognize its value. for at
times 1t was generous in making ap-
propriations for its support. but the
treasury was "shy" about paying
them. Congress at one time appro-
priated 100000 for the navy. but ow-
ing to the depleted condition of the
cash box not a dollar of 1t was ever
paid out.
In 1912 the fortunes OF the gallant
tars were at their lowest ebb--in

Arriving off the coast of Yucatan
the Mexican fleet was discovered. and
a series of long-distance engagements
followed. Moore claiming that the
Mexicans maneurded SO as to pre-
vent any action in close quarters,
while President Houston openly ac-
cused him of cowardice. but there "a
nothing In the character or career OF
the man to justify OF maintain such a
charge. At one time the Texas brig
Wharton aud the Mexican steamer
Montezuma engaged in spirited ac-
tion, which Moore proclaimed as q
victory. The casualties on the Whar-
ton were two men killed and four
iwounded. Not many, 1t is true, but
twice the number that Spanish gum
lners killed for us In the ziemorabie
, battles OF Manila and Santiago. II
was claimed that the loss on the
Montezuma was 20 killed.
After cruising for. some time In tho
waters off Yucatan the fleet sailed for

That truth is often stranger than
fiction is exemplified by an authenti-
Gated chapter in the brief history of
the Texas republic. Had one OF our
fiction writer's in recording The pep
perry doings of one of our Spanish
American ncighbors made his hero
boldly seize, make away with. and ap-
propriate to his own use the entire
navy Of some Centralc American gov
ernment the story would be regarded
as "frenzied imagination
And yet the official records OF the
United States navy department bear
ample testimony that this actually
happened within our own boundaries,
and within the memories of men still
living. The overwhelming defeat of
Santa Anna by General Sam Houston
and his heroic little band of patriots
had ended Mexican sovereignty over
Texas. but had not brought peace, for

that even at the time Of sailing he
believed that its destination was CAL
weston. In reporting later to his gov
eminent he said that Moore conv!nc-
ed him that the best interests of Tex
as demanded that the Mexican fleet
should be attacked off Yucatan, for
which point the feet made direct sail.
When his action finally reached
Texas, President Sam Houston
promptly issued a proclamation In
which he was denounced as a pirate,
and called on the nayies OF all c0un-
tries at amity with Texas to Felze him
and his ships and bring them to Gal
weston as pirates, and in the name of
the Texas republic dsavowing all re-
sponsibility for the acts OF the fleet.

number Of them were arrested and
placed in prison. When Moore re-
turned with his fleet he demanded
their surrender. but the governor OF
Louisiana declined TO give them up,
except on requisition of tho President
of the Republic. This was finally
Forthcoming. and the prisoners were
delivered TO Moore to be taken to
Texas for trial, but as soon as the
fleet was at sea court-martiai was
convened and four OF the men were
sentenced and executed. President
Houston always hid that Moore had
exceeded his authority, and we find
the secretary of war and marine
writing to Moore that with match

fact, The fleet may be said to have
been out of money, out of provisions
and almost out of commission. The
crews had probably received no pay
since the memorable victory of To-
basco and were In open mutiny AL
though the United States and Mexico
were at peace, New Orleans was the
headquarters for the Texas navy. AS
Hon. Timothy Campbell. of glorious
memory, remarked: "Mr. President,
you surely won't let little thing like
the constitution stand between
friends" so in those days such trivial
matters as neutrality laws did not ap-
ply TO Mexico.
The Texas republic did not have n
dollar In It's treasury to pay the men,
and lis paper was valueless, when,
recognizing the impossibility OF keep
ing the ships in commission, Congress
passed secret act" which contem-
plated disbanding the crews and dis
posing of the vessels. an ihtenrion of
which Moore was evidently aware.
This was an inglorious end which tho
commanding officer was determined,
If possible, to avert.
The people of Yucataa were also in
revolt against Mexican misrulc, and
Moore dispatched trusted agent to
learn If an opening for we'll equip

could not be found there. or course
there was an opening. Until very re-
cent years there was scarcely ever a

could not find a job and commls-
sion awaiting him in some OF these
localities. Yucatan was being block
AIDED by the Mexican fleet, and need
ed navy badly, and was not at all
particular where 1t came from.
An agent was promptly dispatched
to New Orleans to confer with Moore,
and Oh his arrival Informed him that
the entire Mexican fleet, consisting
of three steamboats,. two briggs and
two schooners. was blocka6ihg the
coast. and had landed force at Cam
