The Exhibits Numerous and Meritorious and the Attendance Satis- factory. It would not be exactly 'in keeping with the facts to say that the thirtieth annual fair of the Brown County Agri- cultural Society opened and closed iti a "blaze of glory," but, notwithstanding the numerous and repeated assaults of Jupiter Phivius, the exhibition was a good one, and as a whole satisfactory, except, perhaps, from a financial stand- point. Thursday, the opening day, was marked by a steady, drizzling rain which very materially retarded the work and but for the fact that many of the dis- plays had been prepared the day before the show iu agricultural hall would have been very limited, but as it was the ex- hibition of fruits and vegetables were very good. The greatest disappointment both to fair association and the public-was in the matter of entertainment, the Wild West show which Lad been counted upon as the principal feature of the occasion failing to reach here until nearly four o'clock Friday afternoou, owing to num- erous uuforseeu delays, uoue of which, however, may be justly charged tip to the management of the fair. Almost superhuman efforts had been made by the association to keep every promise made to the public to the very letter and under the conditions which prevailed *he patron who complains that he did not get the full worth of his money must be, indeed, hard to please. With the dawning of Friday nioruinit came the hope that the elements had done their worst and there was evidence that the show might be ptopitious and by 3 o'clock in the afternoon there weru probably 1,000 people within tlie gates and at that hour the first performance before the grand stand took place. Tins was an exhibition given by Prot. Win. Schaleben with his trick horse "Orphan Girl." Orphan Girl is a Brown county product,, a full-blood Hambletoman, sired by '^Vau Ness,'* formerly owned by Tom Gannon of this city. The exhi- bition given by Prof. Schaleben was unique aud original and «^ave evidence of much painstaking care and incessant training. During the delay incident to the ar- rival of the Wild West show the man- agement of the fair secured the services of special talent from the White Spear show, now at the opera house, and an excellent horizontal bar performance was given to fill up the wait. When the Wild West show finally ar- rived on the belated Northwestern pas- senger the muddy condition of the track prevented the giving of only a small por- tion of the show, and this was followed by a very successful balloon ascension and parachute drop, aiso an extra at- traction provided by the management and entirely outside of the advertised program. Saturday, however, was the heart- breaker, for upon this day it had been arranged to make up for all past defic- iencies, but the fates intervened aud a steadily falling rain until long after noon sent the .managerial heart down several miles below Cairo,, but it takes more than rain to dampen the ardor of the New Ulm pleasure seeker, and much to the surprise of everyone concerned t e attendance of the afternoon was above 500, not enough to cut much fig- ure in the financial round-up but suffi- cient to show that the public was heart- ily in sympathy with the fair association in its effort to fulfill its promises. At the special request of a large num- ber of the patrons of the fair a special exhibition was given Sunday afternoon by the combined companies of the White Spear and the Wild West show, they making a percentage contract with the association for the use of the grounds and caking entire charge of the perforin • ance themselves.

The faithful of the republican party of Brown county met in convention at the opera house in this city yesterday morning at 10 o'clock for the nomina- tion of a representative to the state leg- islature- and the various county offices. The convention was called to order by Charles Grusseudorf, chairmau of the county committee aud the search began for a temporary chairman. In rapid succession this honor was declined by J. Westinghouse of Springfield, and L. G. Davis and Dr. Wellcome Sr., of Sleepy Eye. Col. Bobleter of New Ulm finally consented to act iu this capacity and the convention proceeded with its organiza- tion by the election of W. P. Grimes, ol Edeu, as temporary secretary. The fol- lowing committees were appointed: Credentials: J. Westinghouse, Spring- field; C. H. Hornburg, N e w U l m ; F . H . Buelow, Sleepy Eye. Permausut Organization : P, D. Raffer- erty, Home; E. G. Hage, Hanska; F . H . Retzlafi, New Ulm. Resolutions: Philip Liesch, New Ulm; Dr. J. W. B. Welcome Sr., Sleepy Eye; H. J. Knud'son, Prairieville; Louis Spelbrink, Milford; J. W. Thompson, Hanska. Pending the report of the committee on credentials the convention took a re- cess until 11 o'clock. Upon the reconvening of the conven- tion at 11 o'clock the committee on per- manent organization recommended that the temporary organization be made per- manent Hud this was done. The first first rift in the lute came with the report of the committee on credentials when it was found that Comfrey which had been given b^ut one delegate had come into the e^vetittbu with two and, thei com- mittee recommended that each be given one-half a vote. A motiou was made to admit both delegates with a full vote but the convention refused to stand for this and the report of the committee was adopted by a rising vote, the jhairman being in doubt upon the ayes and noes. The committee on resolutions laid down the issues upon which liie cam- paign is to be waged in this county by a lengthy report in which the present state administration was denounced as uubusi- ness like, extravagant and dishonest, taking for its authority the speech rec. ently made by state auditor Dunn at Milaca, laying particular stress upou the alleged extravagent management of the prison binding twine, plant. Bank ex- aminer Pope and the grain inspection department also came in for the custom- ary roast, but by what system of sophis- try the committee arrived at the conclu- sion that under the present republican national administration "peace had taken the place of strife" it is hard to determ- ine. The work of preliminary organiza- tion having been completed the conven- tion took a recess until 1:30 prior to the real business, the nomination of county officers. • (i At the opening of the convention at 1:30 S. D. Peterson of New Ulm was nominated for representative by accla- mation, the convention adopting a reso- lution instructing him for Knute Nelson for Uuited States senator. For county auditor Louis G. Vogel, the present incumbent, was renominated by acclamation. The contest for treasurer developed a little more spirit, Mathias Roeck, Cot- tonwood, Frank Burg, New Ulm, Aug. Windhorn, Home, Nels Anderson, Burns town, and A. E. Lee, also of Burnstown, being placed before the convention. On the informal ballot Burg received 37 votes, Windorn 28, Roeck 20, Anderson 11, Lee 7. Windhorn was nomiuated i& the third formal ballot, the vote being Windhorn 56, Burg 51, Anderson 2. For judge of probate the candidates were Charles Grussendorf, New Ulm,and Jacob Wiegal, North Star, Grussendorf being nominated by a vote of 56 to 47. '. For Coroner Dr. J. W< B. Wellcome Sr., Sleepy Eye, received 77 votes against 23 for P. Majesky of the same place, and waa declared nominated: The contest tor superintendent of schools was between A. Frederickson, Springfield, and Edward L. Alwin, New Ulm, Frederickson landing the prize by a vote of 64 t© 45. The ticket is as follows: Representative: S. D. Peterson, New Ulm. Auditor: Louis G. Vogel, New Ulm. Treasurer: August Windorn, Home. Register of Deeds: Wesley Miller, New Ulm. Sheriff: E. B. Hicks, Sleepy Eye. County Attorney: Geo. T. Olsen, Springfield. Judge of Probate: Charles Grussen- dorf, New Ulm. County Surveyor: Geo. Boock, New Ulm. Coroner: J. W. B. Wellcome, Sleepy Eye. Superintendent of Schools: A. Freder- ickson, Springfield. The City Council At a special meeting of the city coun- cil held Wednesday evening of last week the following resolution was adopted: Resolved, that the action of Mayor Weschcke in promptly stopping the M. & St. L.

The contract was also closed with the Centerville Co., of Centerville, Iowa, to furnish soft coal for the use of the city for the coming year at $3.30 per ton, in accordance wit'a a proposition made by the company some time since. The following resolution was also adopted: Resolved, that the mayor's action in drawing $200 of the city funds for the relief of Galveston, Texas, sufferers was unanimously approved. m Methodist Conference. The fourteenth annual session of the Northern German M. E. conference which met at Springfield last Friday and Saturday was very largely attended. New Ulm was represented by Rev. Geo. W. Fritze. Bishop Willard F. Mallaliu, D. D., opened the conference with a commun- ion service. Rev. E. J . F u n k was re- elected secretary and Rev. Emil Uhl, Rev. A. L. Keneke aud Rev. C. H. Sauer were appointed his assistants. Rev. C. L. Lehnert was elected statistical :-ecre- tary, with Rev. F. J. Preine and Rev. W. H. Miller assistants. Rev. John Schnei- der was elected treasurer, with Rev. J. Durbahn and Rev. Emil Christ assistants. The Women's Foreign m'S8ionary so- ciety held its anniversary meeting Fri- day evening at which the secretary, Miss Bertha Bauerroth of Minneapolis, gave her report, showing that seven nesv soci- eties were organized during the year, making ihe total number of societies thirty-seven, witli a membership of* 855. There was $1,665 raised, which is an in- crease of $200 over last year. There were but few changes in the ap- pointments. Of the charges in this vi- cinity, Rev. Geo. R. Fritze will remain at New Ulm. Rev. W. F. Fritze, both- er of Rev. Geo. R., goes to Sleepy Eye, and Rev. Benz to Springfield. The conference closed Saturday after- noon and was a very pleasant and prof- itable one for the attending clergymen. The conference sermon was preached by Bishop Mallalieu Sunday morning. The Complete Novel offered us by the "New Lippmcott" Magazine of October is a stirring good one in the field which has set us all to looking up our ancest- ors and reading American history. It is called "Mj Captive," and is by Mr. Joseph A. Altsheler, whose recent story of the civil "vai is now passing into many editions. "My Captive," is the heroin. She is the gallant daughter of an English officer, whose beauty and courage are alike worthy of her martial birth. She leads her American captor a wild gallop over historic ground and wins from his heart a submission he can never win from her English pluck. The scene lies at the South during the Revo- lution, and it is full of vivid fights that thrill the native pulse. : $*& r<*^!liak ! 3r •iwiiii iiiiMjimaBMBman^BB
