The good crops and the moderately fine weather are not all the blessings given our readers this year. On the contrary, we are to be doubly blessed, for along with smiling fields and well filled barnsmaking life pleasant we herald the advent of Barrett's Great Railroad Shows at New Ulm on Sept. 9th. We are pleased to be able to state that this is the acknowledged-by-all big show of the world to-daythe very largest, the very choicest, and the very best. It is also the newest, the brightest and the most original, and has a greater collection of ani mate and inanimate wonders beneath its canvas than any other ten shows traveling. Every zoneyea, every continenthas contributed to its wonderful collection. It has a Men agerie unexcelled general and won derful features. The largest living elephant, *'Xerxes," whose weight is ten tons the only living giant hippo potamus in the world the only liv ing three-horned white rhinoceros, and a thousand glittering generalties as yet beyond our ken, but suiely to be seen by us. It has 150 first-class, star performers, in their wonderful arenic exhibition, andwell, in a word, it has a thousand new features, which, from their strange and stait ling nature, justly entitles it to the euphonious cognomen of "The Gieat est Show on Earth!"

The railroad company is filling in under the trestle work between Centie and Third Noith streets. A gravel tram and a laigeciew of men have been put on the woik. The annual fair of the Brown County Agricultural Association will be held in this city, in and around Turner Hall, September 13th and 14th. See the announcement and premium list in another column. The new school house was gotten under roof before last Sunday's rain. Mr. Ochs has awarded the sub-con tract for the plastering to Mr. Schaumberg, and the lattei has the woik well under way. If an item in the Independent is cor rect, there is a man in Henderson that should be banished to heathendom. It is said that on a recent Sunday he walked out into the street in a nude condition on a 50 cent bet. At the close of the State Fair, all contributions from the several coun ties will be handed over to the Gov ernor of the State, and from them he he will, by suitable committee, make a selection to send to the Grand World's Exposition at New Orleans. Julius Redmann is again in trouble. Marshal Gommel nabbed him last Monday and placed him behind the bars in hotel^de Casey. He was greatly the worse off for liquor when arrested and made a stubborn resist ance, but we understand a much more serious offense than drunkeness is charged. At last one of the thieves who have of late been making almost nightly raids on the stores in Sleepy Eye has been apprehended. His name is Ed. Elliott, a lad only 12 years old. He was sentenced to the Reform School. His accomplices are also but mere boys, all of whom will probably be arrestod. Bowenofthe Sleepy Eye Herald don't like the "vote straws" Minne sota papers speak of. Straws in Minne sota do not count he says, any more than they do in Kentucky. That's where you are off, Bowen. Straws in Minnesota show which way the pol itical wind blows. In Kentucky it is the smoke of the shot gun. Waseca Radical. Sleepy Eye and Tracy have recent ly been visited by beihegerent tramps. On Sunday night, 17th inst., four of them took lodgings in a barn in rear of Bingham's store, Sleepy Eye, but were detected and routed out. Some shooting had to be indulged in before all the tramps were safely housed by Marshal Black. At Tracy, on the same night, two brakemen were at tacked in their caboose, and one of them was shot in the leg and the other knocked down with a coupling pin. It is reported that one of the tramps was shot and slightly wounded by* a brakeman. Here at New Ulm, no de predations have yet been committed, but tramps are around in considerable numbers.

The increase was se cured through Adjutant General Mac Carthy. The friends of Mr. F. Rosskopf and E. E.

R., at Tracy, has been reorganized. The Post has only existed on paper during the past two years. The recent en campment at Minneapolis put new life into the vets. Mr. C. C. Whitney, editor of the Lyon County News, is the happy daddy ot a bian new daughter which he has caused to be christened "Minne Sota." Bio. Whitney has evidently become infused with western ideas. We learn (indirectly, however,) that Mr. Richard Fischer, deputy county auditor, will be a candidate for Register ut Deeds before the coming Republican county convention. Tins makes five candidates for this office. A State teacbeis' institute for Red wood county will be held in Redwood Falls dunng the week commencing Sept. 8, 1884. Mr. Marsham, the county Superintendent, announces that he will hold an examination of ap plicants for teachers' license on Satur day of institute week The little meteor refeired to a few months ago as having fallen in Mr. Henschen's house, shines no more. The spark of life passed away with but brief notice of approaching disso lution, and all that remained of the once shinning stai was laid to rest last Wednesday in the Lutheran cemetery. We are indebted to Mr. W. Boesch of the Eagle Mill Co. for a sample of wheat of this year's growth. The wheat is plump and hard, and weighs 60 lbs. to the bushel. Mr. Schroeder of Courtland marketed 400 bushels of this wheat last Saturday, for which the Eagle Mill paid him" 70 cents per bush el. In view of the fact that it has been recently demonstrated that our fire de partment hose are in a deplorable con dition, it may be of interest to our peo ple to know that the magnitude of the recent Anoka fire was immediately traceable to defective hose. Had the Anoka department been supplied with fave,been ood serviceable hose, the fire might held in check and hundreds of thousands of dollars saved. Our ci ty fathers should take time by the fore lock and provide against the possibili bihties of a similar calamity in this ci ty- The active Turners of the New Ulm Tuinverein did not contest for prizes at the recent Turnfest in Minneapo lis, but the juvenile class walked off with the first prize. Four of the six members the class also received indi vidual prizes as follows: 1st piize, Aug. Keller 6th prize, F. Seiter 7th prize, W. Doehne 8th piize, H. Brandt. The New Ulm boys and their teacher, Mr Cai 1 Geboer, have all the more reason to feel proud of their achievements as the victory was no easy one, their contestants being at their best. The Mother Hubbard dress is evi dently not destined to become a very popular garment. The mayors of Omaha, Neb., Bloomington, 111,, and Brainard, Minn., have ordered that any woman appearing on the streets with one of those loose flowing robes shall be arrested, and the police en force the order to the letter. The officials claim that none but disreputa ble females would be seen on the street in such a costume, hence the order. The Mother Hubbard dress is just beginning to make its appear ince in this city, but so far it is con fined to children. The State University opens Septem ber 3rd next, the examinations for en trance continuing nearly all week. On the opening day the annual meeting of the faculty, at which all required by the laws of the university to be present, will occur, and the general work of the ?ear.be outlined as far as possible, rof Cyrus Northrup, the new present, has arrived at Minneapolis and entered upon the duties of his office. The fac ulty for the coming year has been de termined upon, and from its composi tion much good may confidently be ex pected See official notice of the open ing of the university in another col umn. Superintendent Kiehle has issued a circular of instruction to institute con ductors for the fall of 1884. After urg ing that everything possible be done to promote good and systematic teach ing, he announces that the course of study to be found in the "Outlines of Institute Work" will form the basis of the institutes. Reading, writing, spel ling, arithmetic, language, hygiene, school management, morals and draw ing are commended to be included in the programme of each'institute. Ap pleton's series and Mark Bailey's meth od are recommended as text books in reading in language, Mrs. Knox's "How to Speak and Write," and in drawing, "White's Teacher's Assist- ant." Finally, Prof. Kiehle suggests that displays of school work be made, so that teachers may see what other schools have done. The Pioneer Press figures out that a bushel of wheat at 80 cents is worth as much for the practical purpose of ex change in 1884, as a bushel of wheat at $1 was worth in 1882. There has been, it says, a general and quitejuniform de cline of prices within the last two years, beginning and showing itself most plainly in articles made from iron, but extending to almost all man ufactured products and articles of do mestic production and consumption. Taking the articles in most common use among farmers, lumber has fallen 20 to 25 per cent, hardware 25 to 30, clothing 15 to 20. groceries 10toJ15, farm machinery 20, fuel 10, and freight rates 5 to 10 per cent The average re duction in articles of domestic con sumption is at least equal to the 20 per cent by which wheat has fallen, and it is accurate statement of a simple fact to say that a bushel of wheat can be ex changed for as much of everything the producer needs as it could two years ago. Besides, the general compensa tion for the American agriculturist, the farmer of Minnesota has the positive gain of a notable increased yield. Call in and see our fine assortment Sold by C.

Good music will be in attendance. The Review says that it is pretty well settled that the Cannon Valley Railroad will be built to Mankato this fall. The route has been determined upon as run ning north of Madison Lake and as near Point Pleasant as practicable.) It will probably cross Eagle Lake at a point known as "the narrows." The Big Woods of Minnesota are pro perly named,for they cover 5,000 square miles, or 3,000,000 acres of surface. These woods comprise nearly thirty va rieties, including white and black oak, maple, ash, elm, hickory, basswood, cottonwood, walnut, butternut and tamarack. The hardwood extends in a belt across the middle of the State, and surrounding its northeastern cor ner is an immense pine region 21,000 square miles, or 13,440,000 square a cres. Owing to a discrepency in the propo sition, the railroad bond election in Redwood county was for naughtin fact Redwood Falls and the towns in its immediate vicinity did not vote at all. In the towns where a vote was taken the proposition was snowed under deep. The Gazette says it is perhaps no un mixed evil that the agitation of this proposition practically settles the fate of any railroad bond proposition that may be hereafter submitted for the county to vote upon as a wholethe county will probably never vote as a whole for any railroad proposition in volving a bonus, however advantageous it may be to some sections of it. Mr. Pfefferle's 'store-till was robbed last Sunday night of something over $20, the proceeds of the day's sale. The thief gamed an entrance to the store by breaking one of the panes of Souseidoor, lass the Iranson over the ware through which he crawled, and then prying open the rear door of the store he had but to walk to the till and help himself. So far as Mr. Pfeff erle knows, nothing else was disturb ed. Mr. Pfefferle has invariably plac ed the money in the safe, at the close of the day's business,|but owing to the stormy weather he failed to do so on Sunday evening. From the last issue of -the Post it is quite evident that a co-partnership has been formed between Bogen, Rudolph, et al. The worthies composing this un holy alliance, with malice aforethough, propose to show to the world that we are,a bad mana very bad man in ^that that we, like them selves, have oeen seen with prai rie chickens in our possession before the expiration of the law. We are very sorry that Mr. Westphal did not give John C. a chance to make good his charge, as in that event we would have been in a position to show up his hypo crisy. Just think of it! A party of four men arrive* in the city from the country late at night John C. sees or thinks he doesprairie chickens in the bottom'of the wagon box, and he at once concludes that we, as one of the party, are in possession of the birds and makes complaint according ly. He excuses the obnoxous part of the proceeding with the statement that we have been a member of the legisla ture and voted for the bill changing the law from Sept 1st to Aug. 15, and should therefore be made an example of. If John C. knew it was wrong to prairie chickens before Aug. 15th, why did he accept of some after they were killed? The man that knowingly ac cepts stolen property is no better than the thief. If Mr. Bogen knew it to be wrong to hunt prairie chickens before Aug. 15, why did he permit a member of his own family to participate in the sport? People that live in glass houses should not throw stones. The law is made for all alike. To people here who understand the situation, the alliance aboye referred to have only succeeded in making themselves appear ridicu lous. PERSONAL "MENTION. Fred.

A Witness Who Cannot be Impeached. ek *^& & **B I have made a chemical examination and analysis of samples of bak- ing powder taken from unbroken original packages of "Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder'* and of the "Royal Baking Powder," with the following results: I find that "Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder" consists of the pur- est and best materials that these materenals are so proportioned as to pro- duce the best results and that the strength of this preparation, as deter- mined both practically by use and as based upon the amount as carbon- ic acid gas produced by it, is such as to give it the very highest efficiency. It is/ree from alum, ammonia, or any substance of an objectionable char- acter. 1 find that the "Royal Baking Powder," while yielding a large amount of carbonic acid gas (though slightly less than Dr. Price's), con- tains a preparation of ammonia, which I regard as a disgusting and ob- jectional constituent in a bakiug powdera drug which ought never to be introduced into the composition of any article intended for food. My experiments do not confirm the extravagant claims made in the published advertisements of the "Royal Baking Powder" as to its alleg- ed superiority and greater strength, as shown by the amount of carbon- ic acid gas which it is capable of yielding when in use. I have found, by experiment, that the volume ot gas yielded by equal weights of the two powders was greater with "Dr. Price's than the "Royal." In view of these facts, I regard "Dr. Price's Cream Baking Pow- der" as superior to the "Royal Baking Powder," because, 1. It is scientifically proportioned, from the purest and best mater- ials known, and is free from anything in the slightest degree objection- able. 2. Its capacity for raising bread (or gas producing power) is great- er than the "Royal," both by practical test in baking and by the detei- mination of the carbonic acid gas.
