compared to the very large uni
versities which are now becoming
so frequent in the United States.
Here you have a comparatively
small college which is true of most
colleges in the South, particular
ly of North Carolina and Tennes-
see. You are to be congratulated
OH having so many great univer-
sites like those of Yale and Har-
ward with 1000 students or more,
or like the universities Of the west
as Illinois or Michigan with per-
haps nearly 5000 students. AL
though of course there are great
advantages in the larger unive-si
ties, there are also great advan-
tages in the smaller colleges. The
number Of students is not too
great for personal acquaintance
between the president and faculty
and students, and the number is
not too great for the students to
bscome personally acquainted
with one another.

things in college or university
life is the friendships which the

those who contemplated entering

America il is no longer the case
that only those going into the

who seek an education, but also

NOT A FINANCIAL SUCCESS
Mankato Fair Closed Saturday.
While not a Money Maker, it
is Said TO be the Best Fair
Ever Held.

In the way of the weather the Man
kato fair has been hoodooed, says the
Daily Review, for every year during
their dates it has rained and spoiled
from one to two days. It is to be
hoped that the weather man will be
more favorably inclined to the asso-
citation another year.
The 1909 fair surpassed any fair
heretofore given by the association,
and that it was the best ever held in
this section of the state or even out
side of the state fair, was freely ad-
mitted by those who are in position
to know.
In spite of the bad weather the
receipts were sufficient to pay all the
expenses of the fair just closed, and
the premiums and all have been and
are now being paid. The board Of
managers were in hopes of paying of
notes amounting to about 81 800 ex-
pended on the fair grounds this season
with the receipts of the 1909 fair, but
they are disappointed and must carry
this indebtedness over to anothe,

Gathered From All Over
Minnesota ToCelebrate.
Big Parade.

Several thousand German-American

outdoor celebration, and enthusiasm
was seemingly not lacking.
Commencing with a parade at 2
o'clock the celebration lasted through
the afternoon and evening. There
were about 5000 people in line. Most
of the marchers were in citizens clothes,
with bright ribbons to denote the order
to which they belonged, but the MEM
bers of the Austria-Hungary society
wore blue uniforms with white caps,
and made pretty picture.
The parade marched to Harriet
Island, where program Of games and
sports was given. The united singers
of ST. Paul were busy, and there was
no lack of music. While the masses
of the people amused themselves with
games, the elite retired to Adler's cafe
on Fifth street to partake in the good
things which ''mine host" Adler had
prepared.
In the evening at Mozart Hall ZOO
persons gathered to celebrate the cen
tennial Of the death of Andreas Hofer,
the Tyrolean patriot, who gave up his
| life to savehis countrymen from the
| oppressive rule of France and Italy.
| DR.. Justus Ohage was the principal
speaker and gave an address in

ated. A musical program was also
given after which there was dancing.

brothers live on John Hayner's 80
acre farm and the former enjoy life
lease of this property which was given
them by their son very short time
ago.
John had not been home for the last
two years. He worked at different
times in st. Paul, Minneapolis, New
Ulm and Sleepy Eye. Mr.. Hayner
gave evidence of being an intelligent,
honest, hard working man, determined
not to willfully wrong any one. He
told the Review editor that it wasn't
so much the loss of his property at the
hands of Somerville, as the manner in
which he had treated him that brought
about the shooting. It was, to quote
his own words, 'that over bearing,
arrogant, sarcastic manner which
seems to be the leading principle Of
some lawyers in their dealings with
men, that made my blood boil and
when I saw the ruler uplifted in his
hand my temper got the best of me. I
could never stand to be handled like
a dog" Mr.. Hayner was well-bred
young man, mild-mannered, had a
pleasant way of speaking and frank
manly look.
Edward L. Hayner, the brother came
to New Ulm Thursday night and took
the rem aims to Howard Lake Friday
afternoon for burial.
The Sleepy Eye Herald-Dlspatch
publishes the following statement of
S0mervi]le in regard to this land deal
between himself and Hayner: His
statement is as follows:
I obtained 200 to 800 acres of Mis-
souri, land as part payment for sale OF
flat property in Minneapolis. Did not
see land at all when [ traded for 1t.
Land was mortgaged for 1000 by

it, which would indicate value of al
least $4,000. Came home and some

had the Hayner property for sale OF
trade, and he asked me if [ did not
