FEATURES OF THE
WEEK.

ing, Officers and Men Leaving well
Satisfied with Camp MeOUl,
The Citizens of Mankato are held
Particularly Responsible for
the Pleasant Time En­
joyed by All.
CO. ARRIVES HOME.
The boys of Company arrived home
Saturday afternoon, well sunburned,
weary, and we judge glad to get back
again. They were met at the depot by
the Austin drum corps, and a large num­
ber of citizens who escorted them to the
armory, where they broke ranks and
rested duing the afternoon.
In the evening they were given a recep­
tion at the Armory, ice cream, cake and
lemonade being served by the ladies of
Austin, as an expression of their pleasure
and delight in seeing them safe at home
once more, and also as a reward for their
good behavior while in camp. And
right here let us say that was the ban­
ner company of the regiment, In con­
duct, soldierly bearing, and general good
appearance. They were universally pro­
nounced the best drilled company in the
regiment, being assigned to the honor­
able position of color guard. The boys
did themselves proud at the encampment,
and we think them justly entitled to the
honors they received.
At the armory in the evening a short
drill in the manual of arms was given,
the arms stacked and the company stand­
ing at parade rest while they were
wreathed.
The ladiea then came forward and dec­
orated each member of the company
with a fine button hole boquet.
Major French then made a short address
of welcome, which was replied to byCapt.
Trowbridge. Lieut. Wright then stepped
to the front, and in a neat little speech
on behalf of the company, presented Cap.
Trowbridge with a handsome sword belt.
The captain received the gift, returning
his thanks, and assuring the boys that
he appreciated the gilt and should ever
keep it in rememberauce of Co. and
tbeir good will. Refreshments was the
the next order of the program, with
band shaking, visiting and a general wel­
coming home to the company.
After another short exhibition drill, the
party broke up, all going home in the
best'of spirits. Co. was well pleased
with the reception, as it was as much a
surprise to them as it was pleasure.
Three cheers and a tiger for Co.
and long may they live.
Following are the names of the mem­
bers of Co. who were present at Camp

The citizens of Mankato did everything
in tbeir power to make it pleasant and
enjoyable for the boys. The camp
grounds were a littl? too far out for
convenience for the boys, but they Were
the best grounds near Mankato. The
water was very poor, and that, and the
intense heat caused a great deal of sick­
ness among the boys.
The encampment was the most suc­
cessful that the 2d Reg't has ever held.
It was noted for the quietness of the
camp between the hours of taps and
reveille.* The discipline of the entire
reginient was good.
Col. Bobleter is an able and efficient
officer, and his staff is all that could be
desired.
He is Also ably suported by the Captains
and Lieutenants of the various com­
panies. On the whole the officers of the
Regiment are an able and efficient body
of men, and the personel of their com­
mands are up to the standard.
Gov. McGill and staff were present and
reviewed the regiment on Wednesday.
Sunday evening the regiment was re­
viewed ^y Col. Bend of the 1st Regt.
About 15,000 people witnessed the sham
battle Wednesday afternoon. It was
«$J|-
quite exciting, especially the attempt^ of
the defending force to capture Col. Bfrb
leter. and when Co.'s A and O met in
the struggle for the colors. During-the
fight for the colors Cap. Boswft
of Co. A and several others trtafrlo
capture Capt. Trowbridge's swo^ftibt
he made it altogether too livcw^for
them, and they soon discovered^ their
mistake. 'Aj -,
Cos. K, and E broke camp Saturday
morning. Co. E fired a volley in hodor
of G. The hand shakings were long iqjd
hearty. Even the Deacon's antics cou|d
not dispel the gloom from the faces
the beys.
In the sham battle Wednesday was
on the right of the attacking force,
the fight for the colors of the defe
Co. got there as usual, and captu
the colors. Capt. Trowbridge was
rounded by some of the enemy Wl|0
tried to capture his sword.. They soon
found out their mistake.

THE SOLDIERS' HOUt).
Now that the Soldiers Home is located
at Minnehaha, we suppose the next thifg
they will want will be another large ap­
propriation from the State to buildf a
Home that will be an ornament to the
State, when if the Home had been
located at Austin, Wascca or Litchflelfcl,
either of jwhich places offered fine large
farms and as beautiful locations as could
be desired, $40,000 would have built
a Home neat, pleasant, comfortable and
elegant enough for any body. Then
again, where they now have only a small
patch of rOck and bluff for a farm, which
the state will undoubtedly be asked to
make large appropriations to improte
for the benefit of the soldiers, butmore
especially for the gratification of Min­
neapolis, tbey might have had jit
Waseca or Austin a large farm of oyer
800 acres of as fine land as there is in
the northwest.
We think the commissioners were
mistaken in supposing that they we)re
gratifying the wishes of the old soldier Jn
locating the Home at Minnehaha, as thgy
would have been fully as well satisfifd
to have had it a| Waseca, and many Of
them so expressed themselves.

A Plaasant trip to the Northwest
The'Minnesota Editorial Association
met at Anokt,last Wednesday, for their
annual meeting.
We were not present at the Anoka
Meeting, the fraternity from this place
being represented by C. H. Davidson
and Mr. and Mrs. Basford of the Regis
ter, who are enthusiastic in their reports
of the entertainment at Anoka.
After the usual routine of business,
and the election of' officers, the editors
amused themselves by flinging a litte news
paper wit at each other, after which they
participated in an elegant banquet pre­
pared for them. For knowinir just how
to handle and entertain a crowd of this
kind, the whole party unanimously say
that Anoka takes the cake.
Wednesday afternoon, we (Gordon),
Mrs. C. H.Davidson and Mrs. John Cook
boarded the 8:9ft train on the Minnesota
$ Northwestern road, overhauling the
party at 8t. Paul, and found everybody
in the best of spirits, ready for the trip
to Duluth and Tower.
At 10 o'clock the excursion parly
boarded the train on St. Paul A Duluth
road, numbering 120 strong. Reaching
Duluth the next morning at 6:30, they
disembarked in the midst of a torrent
of rain and to the music of a thunder
storm, but were conducted safely by
busse sand hacks to Hotel St. Louis
where they took breakfast.

afterhreakfast

the tnun pulled out.for Tower, which
place they reached a little $tter 1 o'clock,
and were conducted to the Pioneer
Hotel, where a fine banpuet dinner had
bc$n prepared for them.
On arriving at Tower we found them
in mourning for C. C. Sellers, their most
prominent citizen, and the man who
had been the leading character in mak­
ing arrangements for the reception and
entertainment of the editorial excursion.
In the afternoon before the arrival of
the excursion, Mr. Sellers went to his
saw mill, and had barely entered it,
where he stood talking to an employe,
when the saw burst, a flying piece of
steel about sixteen inches long and
crescent shape strucK Mr. Sellers in the
head, making a frightful wound about
eight inches long, extending from the
top of the left cheek to the back and
top of the skull. Mr. Sellers was carried
to his hotel where be died in a few hours
after.
This was the first thing that happened
to mar the festivity and enjoyment of
the trip, and nothing was done at Tower
further than to furnish the excursion
with a splendid dinner.
No one felt hurt at this, the only ex­
pressions heard being that of sympathy
for those who were so suddenly bereaved
and of regret that tbey could not have
been notified in time to have changed
their plans so as to have avoided the
annoyance and interference upon this
sad occasion.
It was a strange combination of events.
The dining room of the hotel was filled
with guests partaking of the banquet
which had been planned and provided
by one who was lying in a room above,
cold in death. The solemn notes of
the funeral hymn came floating down to
mingle With the clatter of the dining room,
and his lifeless form carried away in full
view of those who had expected to be
entertained by him.
We then visited the Minnesota Iron,
Minesand truly they area wonderful thing
Over 1,300 men are employed in these
mints, the capital invested exceeding
$8,000,000, The ponderous machinery
was wonder, and the pipes, wires and
dump carts running in every direction
seemed as though .they were all snarled,
greatly puzzling the Indies of the party,
and we night say some beside the ladies.
Birt somehow everything seemed to come
oat right, and the ore after being putin
the carts in the mines was safely deposit
ed on the ciurs without further handling
by human hands.
And then the view of Vermilion lake
was simply grand, a sight long to be re­
membered. Every body went into ec
stacles over it. We shall not attempt to
describe it. as it would take an artist to
do it justice, and we are not an expert at
pftli picturing.
Many specimens were earned away from
the mines, And many more would have
been if they could have been lifted.
Many stood on top of the mountain gaz­
ing enchanted at the lake, while others
were prowling about the mines filling
their pockets with specimens. Our party
had climbed the mouutain, viewed the
lake, traveled through the mines, wit­
nessed the massive machiseey, when the
engine began to whistle and the bell ring
as a warning that they must either leave
the mines or be left. All began to make
their way toward the' tr^m, quite well
satisfied j^cept Mrs., Davidson, who
wanted to ^0 some 200 feet into the very
depth of the mines to see what their were
doing there, but was finally persuaded to
desist frory this and get aboard the .train.
It'was after five o'clock whenitbd party
left the mines, and in order to react: .fisatollistori^Sueloiijt'.'^*^*
luthin time to make connections with
another train, the supper at Two Harbors
had to be omitted, and the train' pulled
right through to Duluth.
The Austin party were met at the de­
pot bp Mr. Richardson, who took us
home with him. where we shared the hos­
pitality of F. A. Richardson and his son
Will. Friday forenoon Mr. Richardson
chartered a steamboat, and we enjoyed a
delightful ride for an hour or two on
Lake Superior. At 2 p. m. Mr. Basford
'came home, thebalance of the party re­
maining over to enjoy a drive into the
country and a picnic on the banks of Les­
ter river, all through the hospitality of
Mr. Richardson and family and Mrs.
Will Richardson, "Will" himself having
b^en called to Austin to look after his
business interests here. The boat nde
on the lake and the pic-nic on the, liver
baojj^was to the Austin party the pleas
antest part of the trip. All feel them­
selves under great obligetions to Mr.
Richardson for the reception and enter­
tainment while there. Friday evening at
9:30 the balance of the party with excep­
tion of Mrs. Cook, started for home, ar­
riving at 1:40 Saturday afternoon, well
pleased with the trip. M*?- Cook remain­
ed in Duluth until Saturday evening,

WHI A. BALL CURVES.
Latest Addition to th« on
tempted Explanation.
In these days of base ball games, fancv
pitching, and various sorts of literature
on the national game, the following
scientific explanation of the mystery of
the curved ball may be of Interest:
Tb® At-
When a ball (or in fact any missile) is
advancing rapidly through the air there
is formed in front of it a small aggrega­
tion of compressed air. (In passing we
may remark that the compressed air in
front of an advancing cannon ball has
been rendered discernible—we can
hardly say visible—by instantaneous
photography.) In shape the cushion of
air is conical or rather conoidal, if
the ball is advancing ..without spin
and therefore it resists the progress of
the ball equally on all sides, and only
affecting the ball's velocity.
The same is the case if the ball is spin­
ning on an axis lying across its course
says Prof- Proctor in Longman'? Maga­
zine. But in the case we have to con­
sider,* where the ball is spinning on an
axis square to its course, the cushion of
compressed air formed by the advancing
ball has.no longer this symmetrical
shape: On the advancing side of the
spinning surface ,the air cannot escape
so readily as it would if there was no spin
on the other side it escapes more readily
than it would but for the spin. Hence
the cushion of air is thrown toward that
side of the ball where the spin is forward
and removed from the other side. The
same thing then must happen as where
a hall encounters a cushion slant.
A ball driven squarely against a very
soft cushion plunges straight into it,
turning neither to the tight nor to the
left, or if defected at all (as against a
billiard cushion)comes straight back on
its course hut if driven aslant against
the cushion it is deflected from the
region of resistance. So with the hase
hall. As the cushion of air against
Which it i§ advancing is not opposed
squarely to it, but is stronger on one
side than {he other, the ball is de­
flected from region of greatest re-
r§s,on-the
