ECHOES OF THE CEL EBRATION
Random Thoughts of the Fourth
at Worthington.
Editor of the Advance:
Feeling in rather a reminis
oentmood this morning I thought I
would register a few thoughts in
obniiection with the celebration of
our''day of days" the "Fourth" at
Worthington.
Worthington had been promising
the people of Nobles and adjacent
counties a hearty and enjoyable
celebration, and when Worthington
promises an event, she never cuts
out the performance. It had been
months an
1 months since we had
been to the city, but we had deter­
mined to take in this event an so
with our "better half" we were on
the grounds in fairly good season
though having made a twelve mile
trip. All nature seemed to conspire
to assist Worthington in a "red
letter day" for the participants.
The roads were good, the meteor­
ological manager was propitious,
patriotism was rampant and the
great American bird had the center
of the stage. As the hour for the
speeches drew near the crowd drift­
ed towards the Court House square,
from whose entrance at the landing
of the massive granite steps the
speeches were to be made. We
pressed our way well to the front,
and though in fairly good hearing
distance we we^e exceedingly glad
when S. S. Smith Supt. invited the
people in front to ascend the steps
and qccupy them as seats so as to
give the more remote part^of^the
assembly a chance Jto ge£nearer.
With advancing years we find our
ear is getting somewhat heavy, so
that it was peculiarly ^gratifying to
sit practically at the feet of thia
aliel
"North Star State", Wallace s
Douglas, who was billed to be the
principal orator of the day. First
in order though was a neat speech
by S. S. Smith bubbling over .with
welcome, which gave very one an
appetite for ail the good things that
were to follow and it was a delicious
menu, patriotically, socially and
intellectually, from start to finish.
The sturdy old soldier and model
citizen, Atty. J. A. Town "was
called on for one of his characteris­
tically stirring and patriotic talks.
This time it was the sieze and cap­
ture of Vicfibburg. A recapitula­
tion o| many cf these old and now
historic events that meant so much
to the life and welfare of this nation
is often dished up in a second hand
and warmed over style, but Towne
was up against the real thing and
knows what he is talking about and
so he always finds warm apprecia­
tion and responsive feelings. Ex
Atty. General Douglas' oration was
thrillingly interesting and master­
ful and we wished that he had a
trumpet voice 60 that the vast
throng could all have taken it in.
Dan Shell and other leading
citizens were on the rostrum and
Atty. Town alludd to Dan's huge
proportions by saying that on
occupying enemies works after that
memorable siege he felt as though
he weighed as mucn as Dan. Well
we might just say here that Dan's
bulk didn't always correspondjwith
present day proportions. The first
time I saw Dan the spring of* 1872
he presented almost as hungry and
Cassius-like-look as Town himself,
but Dan prospered in all his
ventures in early colonial days and
soon began to add, not to his longi­
tudinal but to his lateral propor­
tions. In a political and economic
sense Dan is an expansionist, but
Dan believes that expansion like
"charity should begin at home".
Dan never broke the record though
ur^til Worthington received her
municipal charter and he was forth­
with elected mayor, then the way
tbe wrinkles disappeared in Dan's
coat and trousers was a caution.
Just a few words more. We are now
in the evening on the shore of
beautiful, placid, peerless, Okabena,

What a time the bathers are having
as they ascend to the dizzy height
and then glide down the long in­

in the flying spray of the blue
waters. This must be the very
quintessence of exhilaration and
what do you think it reminded me.

to say and that was about the first
Fourth Celebration in Worthington
in 1873 but I will have to postpone
that now.
Old time"Farmer John".
Windom Citizen The Fourth in
Windom was the deadest day of all
the year, counting even Sundays.
Even the water wagon went out of
commisson, the chickens went'to
roost, an&fthe only recollection of a
patriotic past and intimation that
there was some life was Hughey
Clark and his dog. The^Methodists
and others held a picnic at Fish
Lake a few went to St. James,
where Jas. Han ton's Merry Legs
was beaten by a nose in a close
race. Aboftt a dozen went to"Jack­
son and saw the fast ball^team of
that place shut Windom *out by a
score of 10 to 0. At Worthington
there was a big delegation^from
Windom, who report a,ljveljlcele

Went to.
An Appeal.
The Chautauqua ^committee on
entertainment desires tne coopera­
tion of all our citizens in providing
for the people who .will attend our
Assembly. It is expected that there
will be a large crowd in Worthing­
ton during Chautauqua week. We
must provide tor ail wno may wish
lodgement and in order that this
may be done^it will be ^necessary
that many homes be opened for their
entertainment. Let each^home
provide as many rooms as possible.
A good^partjof the success of^our
Assemly*depenas upon tne manner
in which we^oare for the crowd.
Will you not list your rooms "with
the committee^at once, stating
price for "lodging, the number of
persons you can accommodate and
whether meals will be furnished.
NotifyJ'any member^of the com­
mittee.

Committee.
Windom Citizen :~Rev. Edward
Savage,* the "pioneer preacher,"has
just performed his 262d wedding
ceremony since he has been in"Win­
dom. He has baptised'hundreds of
children and adults, and preached
about 300 funeral sermon.
Guttersen's Platform
I agree with th« Repub­
licans of this State that the
t'me Is now ripe for a Revis­
ion of the Tariff, I favor plae
Ing Lumber, Cpal and nearly
si' Trust controlled goods on
the Free List", reducing the
duty on necessities of life and
all American made goods sold
cheaper abroad than at home*
I believe in the Republican
doctrine of Reciprocity and In
a reasonable protection to
our home Industries and the
American laborer, favor the
election of United States
Senators by direct vote, a
National anti-pass-law cover­
ing the Legislative, Executive
and Judicial- officials, an
Inheritance tax law,
:and
stringent laws governing our
railroads and other public
corporations.
Respectfully,
Gilbert Guttersen.
