grecable subject upon which you would
be unwilling to publish a communica­
tion over your own signature. Of course
we are always willing to do such work
and have shoulders broad enough to car­
ry any amount of responsibilty, but we

saith the Morris Tribune, and we most
heartly endorse the sentiments ex­
pressed.

wood, tamarack, and enough other varie­

000 square miles.or 13,440,000 acres.—Ex.

and unobtrusive ways, and possessed of
much mechanical ingenuity. His funeral

—Good buildings are needed on the
fair grounds, and the citizens of Austin
and vicinity are expected to furnish the
means with which to build them. The
county has done its part, now there must
be no holding back on our part. A com­
mittee will visit our business men in a
few days soliciting subscriptions for this
purpose. Let there be a cheerful and
generous response. Another way to aid
the cause will be by patronizing the fair
liberally. A large crowd will bring large
gate receipts. Do cheerfully whatever
you do.
The development of sport in America
has been rapid and profitable. Outdoor
exercise is what is needed to build up
our frames and make us a nation of
strong men. An important and valuable
adjunct in this work is Mishler's Herb
Bitters, which possesses ample tonic
properties, and is invaluable in all ner­
vous disorders, dyspepsia, liver, kidney,
lung and heart troubles. It strengthens
and invigorates as nothing else will.
—Last week Wednesday evening the
old Katie Brown house in the 3d ward,
was entirely consumed by fire. The
alarm was given about 10:30 in the even­
ing, and inside of 30 minutes the build­
ing was in ashes. John Minnette owned
the house, and it was occupied by the
families of John, Sr., and John, Jr.
There was an insurance of $700 on the
house, and $800 on furniture, the latter
insurance being divided equally on
the household efiects of both families.
The loss is said to be fully covered by
the insurance. The fire is said to have
caught from a defective flue.
—A farmer of Blue Earth county writ­
ing about the chinch bug, says: "By sow­
ing red clover, at the rate of about three
pounds per acre, the bug did not damage
the grain where it was sown. They like
dry loose soil to work in, and the clover
tends to keep the ground moist. We
used to sow it for fall feed for cows, for
which it more than paid the outlay for
the seed. We coutibued sowing in that
way and plowing it under every fall, by
which means we greatly enriched our soil
so you see we derived three benefits from
one outlay. Try it brother farmers
you will find that you will not lose any­
thing by so doing."
—The People's Popular Theatre Co. is
creating quite a furore in this city. They
put upon the boards at the Austin Opera
House Mouday evening the popular dra­
ma, "Fate or Divorce." Thecompany is a
superior one, and the play was well acted.
Last evening, "Black Diamonds" was
played to a good audience, and the parts
well sustained by this excellent company.
The people ought to fill the house the re­
maining nights of the week, at the un­
usually low price of 25 cents general ad­
mission. We are promised "Tea Nights
in aBar-Room," "The Planter's Wife,"
and other fine plays for the remainder of
the week. There will be a family mat­
inee Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock
when the admission will be only 10
cents.
—This is the way the editor of the
Kasson Republican, does up the circus
which visited that city Aug. 27th:
The circus that visited Kasson last Sat­
urday was very much like honey in the
comb—very sweet to those who believed
the flaming posters—but when examined
found to be full of c(s)ells. The majority
of the rare features advertised were in
Utopia, and if the rest of it had been in
Ethiopa it would have been just as well
for the town. The menagerie consisted
of six cages of cheap and common ani­
mals, with one elephant and a couple of
camels. The circus performance was ab­
solutely void of anything that could im­
prove, elevate or humanize a man. The
ribaldry of the ring, within the tent, and
the herd of petty gamblers.and pickpock­
ets around it, were its leading features.
The ribald jests of the clown will not be
likely to olevate the morals of the boys
very much, as the night that followed,
the highway resounded with drunken ech­
oes of the jibes and riotings of the clown
until a late hour. In the morning the
circus had folded its tent and stolen
away, Arab like, carrying away a box of
coin which this community needed for
better purposes, and leaving in exchange
something that was worse than nothing.
—THE MOWER COUNTY FAIR.—Farmers
should make it as much a part of their
business to attend our annual county
fairs, as merchants do their periodical
visits to the markets. These fairs are
certain to prove of profit to them, as they
afford them opportunities to learn of im­
provements in machinery, and they will
find
themselves
lu contact with their
brethren of the same profession, with
whom the interchange of ideas will be
mutually advantageous. They will gain
valuable ideas as to diversified farming,
will discover new and desirable varieties
of seeds and plants, and can inspect the
best breeds of stock. In Mower county
stock-raisers are becoming numerous,
and the farmers cannot give that subject
too much attention. In a hundred ways
will these visits be of advantage to the
farmer and stock-breeder, besides the
good that a trip and vacation from hard
labor will do him physically and mental­
ly. There is not much expense attached
to these visits, and they should not be
looked upon as pleasure trips but as
duties and every farmer should aid in
making these fairs successful by attend­
ing them and by contributing to the ex­
hibitions from his farm or stock. The
Mower County Fair will be held at Aus­
tin, Sept. 15, 16 and 17.
—The follwing from the Owatonna
Journal of a recent date will be ot inter­
est to our readers, as the patentee of the
Cotton Seed Huller, David J. Ames, is
an old resident of Austin:
During last spring the Journal gave an
account of the Diamond Cotton Seed
Huller, invented by Mr. D. J. Ames of
Austin, at Memphis, Tenn. The trial
showed the adaptability of the machine
for the work, but suggested several im­
provements which would render it still
more serviceable, and also demonstrated
the fact that a machine of greater capac­
ity was needed than the one placed on
trial. The money necessary to construct
the first machine and conduct the experi­
ments thus far had been furnished by
McLaughlin, Sheldon & Co., of the Dia­
mond Feed Mill. After the trial this
company did not desire to invest any
more money in it, and the senior partner,
Mr. C. N. McLaughlin, having full faith
in the ultimate result, fully aware of its
great value, purchased their interest in
it, and Mr. Ames went to work to remodel
and increase the capacity of the huller.
Last Saturday a thorough and severe
trial was given the new machine at Mem
bhis, Tenn., in the presence of the repre­
sentatives of ovef fifty cotton oil mills.
The Memphis Appeal gives a full account
of the trial and declares that the Dia­
mond huller is the best machine ever in­
vented for the work it has to do. It
says: "The last lingering doubts of tfce
skeptics has vanished before the severest
test to which a huller can possibly be
subjected."
Mr. McLaughlin has already made ar­
rangements for the manufacture of forty
machines. The. castings will be made at
Austin and the wood work at Spring Val­
ley. He has rented Mrs. Mitchell's room,
under Chambers Hall, where the ma­
chines will be put together and finished.
He has just received an order for three
machines of an extra size for an oil mill
to be delivered if possible by the 15th of
September next and he is making every
effort to have these machines ready on
time.

MOWER COUNTY FAIR.
EDITOR TRANSCRIPT:—As the time for
holding our Agricultural Fair is drawing
nigh, and as this one promises to be the
most extensive of any fair ever held in
this county, we would earnestly lequest
that all having suitable stock, of any
breed, should not miss this opportunity
of placing them on exhibition, likewise
all kinds of fruit, grain and vegetables.
Also to all manufacturers of goods of all
sorts, we will gladly assign positions, and
all dealers in farm machinery are expected
to make a display to surpass all previous
occasions.
Wo hope our merchants will not, for
any reason, fail to exhibit their goods as
extensively as possible and from the Flo­
ral Department we expect, as usual, some­
thing extraordinary.
The managers of the organization are
making all the necessary preparations to
suit the requirements, so you will each
consider yourself specially invited. Also,
we wish it distinctly understood that all
are expected to bring in their articles for
exhibition on Monday, Sept, 14th, so all
exhibits will be in proper order for tb»
15th. Our
reason* arc: Our
dent, 2Bth.
for good work.
distinguish­
ed guests from different parts of the State,
including his excellency Gov. L. F. Hub­
bard and staff, Col. Bobleter and staff of
the 2d regiment, and many others, will be
here on the first day, and everything must
be in apple-pie order when they arrive.
Now. as this is the first time so many dis­
tinguished gentlemen haye been pro­
gramed for a fair in this part of the state,
and may not soon again, we hope that
all will avail themselves of the opportu­
nity.
The military display which is to take
place on the afternoon of the 15th, will be
a fine attraction, and should be seen by
-everybody. So let everybody turn out
and come to the fair, especially on the
first day, the 15tli.
J. J. FURLONG, President.
THE COST.—The cost of the alum used
to make cheap Baking Powder, is about
one-fourth that of the Cream Tartar used
to make DeLand's Chemical Baking Pow­
der. Alum makes bitter, unwholesome
food, and the doctors say "Don't use it."
DeLand's chemical Baking Powder is
sold in cans, and you will ueverbe decei­
ved. It makes delicious, wholesome
food, and is true to usage, true to reason,
and true to health. Try it.

Fenton got his dinner, and upon his return
went for his. Village Marshal Rumsey was

came three or four of the culprit's pals, Att'y
Traak and Fenton, and went In, ostensibly for
consultation. Then in a few minutes Fenton
came out and passed to the rear of the lock­
up, when almost immediately Trask, prisoner
and pals wanted to see the Deputy urgently,
and came bolting out. Rumsey caught bold
of the prisoner, and his hold was disengaged
by a stalwart pal with the remark that be only
wanted to see the Depnty. Then Rumsey gave
the alarm and two or three other pals gently
disturbed Fenton, while Mr. Prisoner took leg
bail for security, mueh to Marshal Riley's dis­
gust upon his return from dinner.

Station Agent Johnson received advices
yesterday from headquarters that the
new passenger train to be put on the
Minn. & N.-W. next Monday, is a perma­
nent arrangement.
Freight No. 11, going west from Roch­
ester at 6 a. m. connects at Dodge Center
with the M. & N.-W. train for St. Paul.
Freight No.

Returning leaves St. Paul at 7. p. m., ar­
riving at Austin at 11:12 p. m.
O. B. JOHNSON, Agent.
At Randolph connections will be made
with the Cannon Falls line for Red Wing,
and at Dodge Center connections will be
made with the Chicago & Northwestern
with the trains arriving there at 10:05
a. m. and 2 o'clock p. m. for Win ona ar­

2:05 p. m.
A Dubuque paper says: "The new
line is likely to catch a large share of the
travel between St. Paul, Minneapolis
and Chicago because the traveler will see
anew country, the fair will be the saipe
as any other route, and the accommoda­
tions will be superior. Five of the most
elegant sleepers ever turned out by the
Pullman works are now in the yards at
Chicago ready for service, and will be
operated on this route day and night."
Judge Williams was in town the latter
part of last week on business connected
with his Wapsie railroad. We learn
from him that the grading south from
Riceville is progressing satisfactorily, and
will soon be completed to the Bremer
county line and to the vicinity of Inde­
pendence before winter* Work will be
contiuued throughout the cold season in
bridge building, and the road bed will be
ready for the iron as soon as spring opens.

We heard a gentleman who has been
traveling recently on a section of the Illi­
nois Central railroad, where there are no
opposition lines, remark, soon after his
return, that if that road is coming into
St. Paul, itwants to get some new rolling
stock. If some of the passenger cars are
properly scrubbed up and put in repair
they might be used up this way for cattle
cars, he said, but for the passenger ser­
vice the railroad people would have to
get something different. People accus­
tomed to traveling on the lines put of
St. Paul wouldn't know what to* make
of such service as is provided in Central
and Southern Illinois. This may be a
tough thing to say, but the gentleman
who made the remark bears no malice,
and evidently knew what he was talk­
ing about. We'll see when the Illinois
Central gets here.—Pioneer Press.
We think the traveling public will have
no occasion to complain of the rolling
stock which will constitute the through
trains of the "Waterloo route." The
strong competition will compel the new
route to give the public good equipments.
Commencing next Monday the Minn. fc
N.-W. R. R. Co. will put on an exclusive
passenger train to run between St. Paul
and Mona, close connections being made
at the latter place with a train over the
Illinois Central. The train will leave
Mona at 6:15 a. m., Lyle at 6:23, Austin at
6:52, Dodge Center at 7:58, Randolph at
9:38, arriving iu St. Paul at 11:00 a. m.
Returning the train will leave St.
Paul at 7 p. m., arriving at Randolph
at 8:23, Dodge Center 10:05, Austin 11:12,
Lyle 11:42, at Mona at 11:50. Run­
ning time, nearly 25 miles an hour,
including stops. This will be the best St.
Paul accommodation train Austin has
ever had. Of late the Milwaukee road
has given us good trains, but none so con­
venient as this will be, the present morn­
ing and evening accommodation trains
consuming each 5 hours between Austin
and St. Paul, against 4 hours on the new
line. The new train will be a great con­
venience to Austin travel, during the
state fair—all of next week. The depot
is in the heart of town, and the hour of
leaving iust right. It is not definitely
settled whether this train will run longer
than during fair week or not, but we pre­
sume it is a permanent arrangement. The
slow mixed train is also continued on
substantially the same time as before.
The train leaves Mona at 9:25 a. m., arriv­
ing at Austin at 10:18, Dodge Center
11:55, Randolph,3:55, St.Paul6:10. From
St. Paul—Leaves at 7:30 a. m., arriving

The most important railroad deal to
St. Paul that has been brought forth this
season was put in practical shape yester­
day by the signing of a contract by Presi­
dent Stickney of the Minnesota & North­
western and President Elijah Smith of
the Central of Iowa and the secretaries
of the two companies. Yesterday articles
were signed by these parties' for A. B.
Stickney to build for the Central of Iowa
a line from Manly Junction, the north
terminus of the line to Lyle. connecting
with the Minnesota & Northwestern.
Mr Stickney will commence work Mon­
day morning and will have the line com­
pleted by Dec. 1st. a distance of twenty
miles. As soon as complete the Central
of Iowa will run trains to St. Paul over
the Minnesota & Northwestern, a con­
tract having been drawn np and signed
for the lines to operate in this way for a
term of 100 years. It is mutually under­
stood and agreed that the companies
shall operate and maintain its own rail­
way line as to through traffic. Each
party will furnish cars for the through
traffic as nearly as shall be practical in
proportion to its mileage to the entire
mileage of lite through line. Loaded
cars of each company may go through
from the originating point to the point
of destination without transhipment of
loads. Through passenger traffic shall
be furnished bv each company in like
proportions. The Central of Iowa has
500 miles of road beginning at Mauly
Junction, running due south through the
state of Iowa, and from Oskaloosa east
to Peoria, 111., connecting at Albia with
the Wabash system in North Missouri,
making a very direct line from St. Pauf
to Kansas City. The most important
connection which the building of this
extension will make will be that with
the Indianapolis, Bloomington & West­
ern from Peoria east. This will make an
independent line to all points in the east
without touching at Chicago. As is well
known none of the lines runing to Chica­
go can show any favortism to St. Paul
which will iu the least way be a discrim­
ination against Chicago, and, therefore,
they all have certain agreements, and
are not what might be termed strictly
independent lines. This new through
line to the seaboard will be fully as
direct and short a line as any of the present
through lines, and it will not be subject
to the joint agreements of the other
corporations. This new deal by Mr
Stickney insures a splendid outlook for
the futnre welfare of his road. The
most important feature of the traffic this
new line will carry are coal to St. Paul
and local points on the Minnesota &
Northwestern road and lumber fiom St.
Pa ul to Iowa points on the lower Missouri.
At present St. Paul lumbermen cannot
do business at Kansas City and other
lower Missouri river points on account of
the high arbitrary differential which the
lines in Southwestern Pool association
ask from their Northwestern connections,
giving Chicago shippers a supreme ad­
vantage, on business to the points named.
The Minnesota & Northwestern will not
be subject to this high differential and
canput St. Paul and Northwestern lum­
ber shippers on equal basis with Chicago
shippers. As the Central of Iowa has a
terminal at Osktloosa, the largest coal
mining center in Iowa, the traffic of the
Minnesota & Northwestern of this neces­
sary is insured.. On Monday surveyors
will locate the line from Lyle to Manly
Junction, which will take about a week
and then active construction work will
begiu and continue until the connection
is made, which will be Dec. 1. It is like­
ly that this new combination will be
painfully felt and heard of by the Mil­
waukee & St. Paul, as the Central of
Iowa has been running its trains over the
Milwaukee & St. Paul to St. Paul for
some time past and in making this new
deal the Iowa road wili doubtless discon­
tinue its connection with the Milwaukee
company.—St. Paul Globe, Aug. 29.

The Art of Getting Vigorous
Is comprised in ono very simple piooe of
advise, improvo digestion. No elaborate sys­
tem of dietetics is needed. If you lack vigor,
use systematically tbat pleasant promoter of
it, Hostetter's Stomach Hitters. If you take
this bint, and do not commit any excesses,
there is no reason why you should not gain
in strength, appetite and weight. Hosts of
whilom invalids are to-day building a founda­
tion for years of vigorous health with this
sound and thorough ronovator of a dilapidat­
ed physique and failing energy. Dyspepsia is
eradicated by it, and the constitution forti­
fied against disorders to which, if it were ex­
posed, it must surely sucoumb—notably mal­
arial fever. Rheumatism, inactivity of the
kidneys and bladder, nervousness, and their
various symptoms, disappear when it is used
with persistency, not abandoned after a brief
and irregular trial.
