Was 1t Murder!

Earlyrisers in the immediate neighbor-
hood of The Commercial hotel at Winona
were shocked on Sunday morning by find
ing the dead body of Peter VALLEY lying on
the ground Under one of the hotel windows.
His skull was crushed in, and bruises on
the neck and face at once aroused the suS-
picion of foul play. Inquiry, however,
showed that Valley, who was a regular
boarder at the hotel was seen to enter 1t
shortly after II o'clock on Saturday night.
and the theory is that he fell headlong from
the second-story hall window as he was
going to his room. A stone sidewalk dl-
rectly under the window would make such
a fall fatal, although there are those who
claim that the fall could not have produced
the many different bruises which are to be
found all over the dead mans head and
neck Probably, it will never be known eX-
actly how VALLEY came to his death, but
the police are willing to attribute it to the
accident 1t is said that he received his
months wages last week, and that all his
money, together with a gold watch and
chain which he always carried with him,
were missing from his person when found.
But the entire absence of any evidence
makes the rumors of all kinds unreliable
and the suspicious of foul play without
ground. Valley was bridge builder in the
employ of the Chicago IL Northwestern
road He was about 25 years old and I'M
married His parents live at Green Bay
and were notified of his death Sunday.

states that when he came to this country a
mere lad he became separated from his fam
lily when they arrived at Castle garden,
New York. He was cared for by man
who. not being able to find his guardian,
took him to Philadelphia, where, when
very young, he found his way on the stage,
having natural abilities in that direction.
Mccullough was not discovered by his rela-
tlyeS until comparatively recent time,
when Mrs. Smith, his only sister, found he
had become famous and Immediately wrote
to him inquiring about his former life, but
says she has reason to believe all her letters
were interrupted, as she never received any
reply to any of them. Through friend
who had conversation with Mccullough,
and who questioned him in regard to his
former life, she found there
were no reasons for doubling
that Mccullough was her brother,
as MS statement agreed with what she knew
OF MIN. She also says that man who has
been with Mccullough ON the stage has
borrowed great deal of money from him,
not long ago borrowing $500 and that
ne is attempting to prove that Mccullough
has no relatives for the purpose of coming
into possession of McCullough's money. 1t
has been stated recently that Nice uilough
has wife and two sons, one 80 and the
other "a years of age, but this Mrs. Smith

River Falls.

River Falls has suffered from numerous
fires, which began to occur during the latter
part of the winter. Fire-bugs were suspected
from the first. The last fire burned three
buildings and occasoned considerable loss
OF property. At this time young man
named Spoon was arrested on suspicion
and examined before a justice Nothing
material being proved against him he was
released. Saturday night about 11:30
O'Clock, young man named Kranth, who
was at work in the Prairie mill, saw from
the window a man setting fire to some hay
and other kindlings that had been placed
against the Omaha depot. Kranth at once
gave the alarm and the man fled. The
fire was extinguished without difficulty be-
fore it had done any damage. Young Spoon
was met going from the fire by parties who
were running towards it. His coat was
covered with hay seeds and he was accord
ingly arrested and lodged in the lookup.
The boots he was wearing have been
measured and correspond with the tracks
made by the incendiary. He will be exam
ined to-day. "A very pleasant lawn party
took place Friday evening at the residence
of Mr.. D. Kribs The River Falls cornet
band was in attendance and the affair was
a pronounced success. :. Mr.. G. Kribs of st.
Paul, of the firm of Kribs & Bruquet, was
in town Friday night.

DAKOTA.
Seldom Gets Left,

1t is the favorite expression of the dis
gusted statesman of the Manitoba border
that he never gets left" He conceded one
exception, however, when he went to
Washington to lobby some time ago, and
took the first train back to his rural range.
His associate in the last legislature Col.
Richardson, has this kindly mention of him:
st is said that nothing so irritates the Hon.
JudSon La Moure, the elongated statesman
from Pem-bi-naw district. as to see his name
in the newspapers. of which he has always
entertained an adherence equal to another
famous statesman, who sarcastically alludes
to the makers thereof as them id liter
airy fellers." But despite this, Jud is real
good fellow, equal to any emergency, and
seldom ''gets left" We understand he is
now training a lot of bears, one of which
is said to stand erect on his hind legs, and
which Jud has named the Dakota states

TO make any change in former estimates
as made by the Review on June IA, as to
the yield OF wheaE330, 900, 900 bushels
we confess we are at a loss to know. All
reports for the last fourteen days have
shown an increased development of chess,
steady running down of the general
prospects and more or less damage on ac-
count OF the Hessian fly. Tennessee and
Kentucky were the first states that early in
tne season gave US any idea of damage to
the crop. They are now the states that are
harvesting, and if reports from the other
winter wheat states are as bad as reports
which have been received from these states
as to yield OF winter wheat, it would look
to-day as it the lowest estimate Oh the crop
was high one. Wheat for fall seeding

from Tennessee, Kentucky, Kansas, Mis-.
souri, and Southern Illinois. The spring
wheat situation, as the season advances,
shows somewhat of spotted character, but
conditions are fairly promising. The crop
seems to be more or less weedy, and par
ticularly in the northern part. No more
rain is needed to mature the crop. We, at
this date, have some reasonably fair assur-
ance OF the outcome of the corn crop, but
as yet nothing definite can be said. We
hope about the LIST of August to be able to
give a very full report, indicating thu
probable yield, excepting the contingencies
OF early frost. At present all that can b(
said is that the corn crop has been subjected
to wet and backward weather, and that re-
planting has been very general The crop
to-day is fairly clean, free of weeds, and Oh
this side of the Mississippi river has gener-
ally been well cultivated. There is very
little to worry about the crop at present:
July and August are the months which
make the corn crop. Oats are heading Out
in many places very short, but the acreage
is so immense that with no disaster at har-
vest we ought to cut another very large
crop of oats"

Dakota,s Division.

The Aberdeen News is an earnest advo-
cate of division upon the Missouri river.
and claims to have information that the
Black Hills will favor that line of division.
1t says: with Central Dakota solidly for
this division, the North not opposed to it.
and it having a strong following in the
Black Hills and some friends in Southern
Dakota, it cannot be long before some de-
termined effort is put forth to present this
matter to congress. Considering the back
ing it will then have, and the political COM
plexion of congress, this plan for division
may receive successful consideration. :"
There are very considerable geographical
and political reasons for this line, as the
West is stock and mining region and the
East agricultural. The East would have
more than four-fifths, of the population, and
the West would probably remain territory
years, and be among the last to come in as
state
