RIDGELY CELEBRATION B.
WELL ATTENDED

| III ( { A
In spite of threatening weather and
bad roads, the annual celebration OF
August 22nd at Fort Ridgely was an
unexpected success. Some hundred or
more automobiles occupied the parking
grounds adjoining the place Of celebra-
ton, among which were many that had
come from points fifty, seventy, and a
hundred miles away.
The management of the celebration
was nominally in the hands OF Hon:
Darwin S. Hall, Pres. Of the Fort Ridgely
Park and Historical Assn; but on ac-
count of Mr.. Halls recent illness the
active part of Master of Ceremonies
was assumed by Col. Chas. Hopkins
of Fairfax, the associations secretary.
AS prelude to the events Of the day,
Colonel Hopkins amply explained the
nature and purpose Of the annual ce(ebra-
ton at Fort Ridgely, and also the
character and objects of the Fort Ridgely
Park and Historical Assn which has
been the source and main-spring of the
|
Fort Ridgely events, ..-
Following an invocation by Rev.
Rinkel Of Fairfax, the program OF the
afternoon was featured by brief, but
appropriate talk delivered by the Hon.
Darwin S. Hall. Prof. Helm, super
intendent of the Public Schools of Red
wood Falls, on the ground that he had
once been employed in the Federal
Dept of Indian Affairs, was prepared to
give an interesting account of the char
acter and general progress of the Amer
lean Indian. Mr.. Helm stated that,
comparing the savagery of our own
ancestry two thousand years ago with
that of the Indian two hundred or even
fifty years ago, the Indian has made
more rapid progress toward greater
thoughts and better ways than has the
white man, and that this very ferment
of progress in the ranks of the Red Man
is fast merging and losing him in the great
body of>our common America.
A feature of the program was de-
scription of the battle of Fort Ridgely
by Mr.. Frank Hopkins of Fairfax.
Other able talks we're made by Frank
Clague of Redwood Falls and Chaplain
Emery of the 3rd Minnesota.
Musical numbers on the program were
two songs by the well-known New Ulm
Sextette, composed Of VIM. Pfaender,
W. G.. Alvin, A. J. Alvin, Archie Alvin,
August Mueller, and Otto Kohn. Two
solos were also rendered by Frank
Hopkins accompanied by the Fairfax
Band, but the number of all musical
numbers was the annual solo by Col.
Chas. Hopkins himself.
Sec. of State Schmahl who was ex-
pected to deliver an address was unable
, to be present. F. W. johnson OF this
city, who also was on. the program, was
also unable to attend the, affair ..r-. ..~
All around the celebration was most
pleasant affair and will leave pleasant
memories for a long time among those
who defed the mud and made the trip.
| Among those who attended from here
were J. A. Ochs, R. Pfeferle, Ben. Juni
and Fred J. Townsend.

The people had tears in their eyes when
they spoke of it, and all the other
offers of help that had been received.
Everyone has been so kind that the people
are confident that they can rebuild their

impossibility as very few have tornado

SCHOOL WORK STARTS II
EARNEST

Bright and early Monday morning
over 900 young people wended their way
to the various school houses of the city
to start on another years work Of learn
ing. Of these 239 entered the high school
and the remainder enrolled in the diff
ferent grade schools.
Of the 239 enrolled in the high school,
43 are Seniors, 80 Juniors, SO Sophomores
and 81 Freshmen. Seven girls have
entered the normal training department.
Last year the highest number enrolled
during the term was 255 but several
dropped out as the term went on. 1t is
expected, however, that several more
will enter as several of the boys will
remain on the farms until the crops are
in.
In the Emerson school 223 pupils
reported on Tuesday and these were
divided as follows: First Grade 3d.
second and third, SO, fourth and fifth,
20, sixth 81, seventh and eighth 81
1t is presumed that more will enter in
the seventh and eighth grades as it was
estimated that this class would number
about 1875. The 70 pupils in the Lin
coin school are graded as follows: first
and second, %, third and fourth, 27,
fifth and sixth, 20. In the Washington
school they are likewise evenly distrib-
uted there being IS in the first and sec

look at the display of the saffert & Gu
gisherg Cement Construction Co. They
as in former years, have a part of silo
standing and besides this they show
their tile and cement blocks to interested
fair visitors.
Your eagerness to look at the new
poultry house is so strong that you al
most begin to run to it for fear that the
crowd will be SO great that you will not
be able to get in. First you will stand
and marvel at the artistic appearance
of the building from the outside. It
is made of cast stones manufactured by
the Saffert & Gugisberg Construction
Co. Its dimensions are rs so but a
casual glance makes it appear larger.
It is approximately twenty feet high
and has beautiful front which gives it
the striking appearance of an exhibit
building. ...
Birds Well Cared For
On entering the building, you i'm
mediately notice that the birds are all
housed in strong wire cages which give
enough room to the largest of birds.
If the trouble is taken to count the
cages you will find that their are 1876
of them and as nearly all Of them are
filled it means that there are just about
that number of exhitibs to be seen in
the poultry house.
If you turn to the right, the first
thing that will attract your attention
is freak of nature 1t is four-legged
chicken and belongs to Jos. N. Dietz.
/ Then on continuing your travels over
the right side of the building you will
see more different kinds of chickens than
you have ever seen before. Bantams,
VIII tie Rocks, Red Rocks, Buff Orping-
tons, Plymouth Rocks, several kinds Of
Leghorns, Brahmas and others unknown
to the writer. Geese, ducks, and other
fowl are also to be seen.
i Pet Animals tA-
When you go to the left of the building
you see rabbits and pigeons galore.
The display in both these lines are great
er than they have been at any other fair
and whether interested in that line or
not, you cannot help but expressing
satisfaction at large exhibits of the small
animals. Then when you come towards
the end of your round you will be in
terested in the little white mice, white
rats, colored rats, Japanese rats, and
j: other exhibits, including skunks and
guinea pigs. a.: =. ~- -
There are about twenty-five to thirty
more exhibits in this line than last
year and no other reason can be given
for the increase than the new poultry
house. The largest exhibitor of various
animals in the poultry. house is the F..
Danger Co. of Sleepy Eye, who have
nine different varieties of exhibits, in
Guiding guinea pigs, skunks, white mice,
white, colored and Japanese rats, Belgian
Hares, Maltese rabbits. Otto Triton
of Sleepy Eye has six different entries in
the poultry line j. Frank G. Schnobrich
will no doubt pull down several prizes
on, his display of pigeons as he has
seventeen different displays. Andrew
Wolf is another large pigeon fancier and
has eight different kinds Of birds at the
fair. s...,4 s.ss,,s.s.. Il :r.s.5f..s
