Father Cogan has builded up an
educational institution sui generis,

A Distressing Accident.

One of the most melancholy acct
dents which has happened in this
village for many months occurred
on Tuesday forenoon. frankie, the
bright six year old son of John J.
Gettys, who lives in the western
part of the village, ATTEMPTED to
climb upon the side of grain separ.
alter, or threshing machine, which
was going along the road, near his
fathers house. The little fellow
slipped and so fell that one of the
rear wheels passed over the lower
portion of his body diagonally, frac-
turing the pelvic bone, and it is
feared inflicting fatal injury. He
was conveyed to the house, and
medical assistance summoned with
out delay, and everything possible
done for him. His physician, DR..
McMasters, considers the sit uation
very critical, to say the least.
frankie was bright little fell
low, the oldest child of Mr.. and Mrs.
Gettys, and great favorite with all
who knew him.

The District Fair.

The Fair to be held at st. Cloud on
September 9TH, 9Th, 9th and 10th,
promises to be by far the best LEGAL
agricultural exhibition ever held in
central Minnesota, and will rival
the state fairs OF a few years ago.
The number of entries in all de.
partments is much larger than last
year and The premium list far more
inviting i'll it's llberality.
The district specially interested,
embracing the Counties of Stearns.
Benton, Sherburne and Mile Laos,
are among the veal thiest in agricul-
tural and natural products of any in
Minnesota, and This District fair is
meeting with cordial response
among the farmers and breeders.
Very few of our agriculturists fully
appreciate the extent of our fine
stock-raising interests. There are
a number of as 6ne herds of cattle
and studs of horses embraced in
this territory as can be found in the
state, excepting two or three very
noted stock farms a title farther
south. And there is pleasing
variety, too. Tho choicest animals
of all these herds and studs will be
on exhibition, and it will we'll repay
any farmer to inspect them. The
amount of information to be de-
rived and the stimulus toward I'M.
provement there imported will be Of
incalc ulable benefit. There will be
special features, notably, a Farmer s
Institute, which will be of great
value. The best lecturers on agri.
cultural subjects have been secured,
and during the entire fair the Insti-
tute will be continued
Let Western Stearns be well rep
resented, both in the list of exh ibit-
ors and among the spectators.
Money so expended will be well in
vested. Send to the secretary at St.
Cloud and secure premium lists, ex.
anime them CAREFUL y and enter the
best you have in competition. There
is no reason why this portion of the
district may not secure a liberal
share of the premiums.

The condition of the streets of

cut the weeds in front of his own

hardly appreciate. If this is not done
