The April report of the Minnesota
weather service contains the following:
"The month was characterized by an
abnormally low temperature, and an
excess of precipitation in the southern
counties and slight deficiency in the
northern. Precipitation was fairly well
distributed throughout the month, the
greatest amount, however, having fallen
during the latter portion. The large
amount of snow which remained on the
ground at the close of March melted
rapidly and filed the streams and creeks,
which emptied an immense volume
of water into the Red, Minnesota and
Mississippi rivers, causing them TO over
flow their banks and reach the danger
line in many localities. Seeding, which
was from two to three weeks late, com
menced about the 10th; the snow and
rain of the latter portion of the month
caused temporary discontinuance of
seeding"

SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

A srr,nus accident occurred at the
Fibre Ware works Thursday morning.
Emma Seibert, one of the employees, was
at work near one of the roll, rs and In 60
ing around the machinery her dress be-
came caught between two cog wheels.
Before she was aware of her danger she
was drawn between the wheels. AS
soon as possible the machinery was
stopped. The flesh on the girls abdo-
men had been crushed and lacerated in
a terrible manner. She was at once
taken TO her home and Drs. DAVIS and
Warner were summoned and did every
thing possible to relieve the sufferer.
She is now resting well and it is thought
that she will recover. She is about four
teen years old and is daughter of Will
liam Siebert. There was plenty of room
to pass the fatal cog wheels and, more
over, the fibre ware officials say that the
girl should not have been on that side OF
the machinery. She was new hand.
