getting beyond the hills along the river,
the country opens out intOa magnificent
prairie. diversified by groves OF timber
Of luXuriant growth, with here and
there stream of living water. These
prairieS are inclOSed and in the various
fields observed horses, cattle, sheep
and hogs in great numbers. The residents
of Southern Minnesota are fast giving
up the cultivation of corn and the small
er grains and turning their attention to
stOck-raiSing and to the dairy business.
1t will not be long before all the horses
we require can be furnished by our own
producers, aud they will be better
adapted to our use than those brought
from Iowa, Illinois and Wisconsin.

why the good people of Dodge county

from any railroad, while Dodge Center
is in the geographical center of the
county, and at the intersection OF the
Kansas City railroad and the Winona e

the county from north to south, while
the latter passes through it from east to
west. Dodge Ceuter is easy of access
from all points of the county, is -four

WILLIAMsPoRT, Pa. June 3.-Slnce
Saturday morning last this city has UNI
derg0ne the experience of being flooded
with thirty-four feet of water; of bav-
ing the Susquehanna boom taken out
with 2O0,OOO.0O0 feet Of logs, over 49,
100000 feet of sawed lumber taken,
mills carried away and others wrecked,
business and industrial establishments
wrecked and large number OF lives
lost, land a flood nearly seven feet higher
than that of 1865. A level surface of
water extended from the northern line
of the city entirely across the city to
the mountain on the south side. This
meant that the water was six feet deep
on the floors of the buildings in Market
square, over four feet deep in the sta
ton OF the Pennsylvania railroad and at
the Park hotel. Fully three-quarters Of
the city was submerged. The loss is
enormous.
Several children were born during the
flood, some of them among refugees
who were staying outdoors. In house
floating down the river was woman
who had just been delivered Of twins.
She was rescued. while still in bed,

UNJUsTIFIABLE JEALOUSY.

The Chicago Times is justly indig-
nant that its more sleepy contempt
raries, who are just now awakening to
the magnitude of the Cook county asy-
lum scandal, should be engaged in an
effort to rob the Times of the honor it
won in the affair. Fair play is not a
common virtue among Chicago news
papers, but we do think that the Times
has so signally distinguished itself in
this business that its rivals ought to be
generous enough to award the honor
that is richly merited. But for the eff
forts of the Times, the people of Chi
cago would yet have been in ignorance
of the horrible condition Of affairs in
their insane asylum.

While the new law in this state MAX
ing drunkenness crime is attracting a
good deal of attention in other states,
such does not seem to be the case at
home, and the general impression seems
to be that the law will be practically a

when cOnviviality leaves off and drunk
enness begins, and when it comes to
this there is a diversity of opinion on
when man really is drunk.-Fisher

ridiculous example of this is seen in the

at Fort Smelling for the safety of Capt.
J. H. Gageby, of Company D, Third in

have been in Inflated Johnstown, Pa,
at the time of the awful calamity there.
Their fears were dispelled yesterday,
however. by telegram from Capt.
Gageby, stating that he had escaped,
with his wife and children. But the
message stated that, while they were
safe, they had suffered the agony Of
seeing Capt. Gagelby's mother and two
of his sisters swept to an awful death
in the raging torrent. The captain, who
was absent on a three months furlough,
has had his time extended another
month, and though mourning the loss
of his kindred. has entered heroically
into the work of relieving the
wants of the stricken people. He
has been appointed acting chief of
police and chief of the guards at Johns

ures who would rob the dead and dying.
