THE continued dry, hot weather is
causing disastrous prairie and forest
fires. A large amount of grain has
been destroyed in various parts of the
Northwest, and unless rain comes
soon we may expect still worse re-
ports. Mr.. NJ B. Harrison, of,Duluth,
arrived in st. Paul last night. and to
a Pioneer Press reporter he said the
forest fires along the St. Paul and
Duluth road were alarming. In sew
eral places the fires were burning close
to the road, but the train never passed
from under heavy cloud of smoke
from the time it left Northern Pacific
Junction until it had passed Rush
City. He observed that in many of
the small towns through which he
came the people were quite anxious in
regard to their safety, .and he noticed
that there were an unusually large
number Of farmers in these towns, the
most Of them being on horseback. In
Rush City the fire department was
out and ready for service should the
deyouring flames approach the town.
Mr.. Harrison heard that the fires
were doing considerable damage in
that section of the state, and the high
winds of yesterday made the situation
still more alarming.

AN UNGRATEFUL son.

Monday night about O'Clock officer
Schuette arrested and put in the coun-
ty jail George Klaus, who was released
a day or two ago on the petition Of his
aged father. AS stated in yesterdays
issue of the FREE PRESS, the defend
ant was arrested on the complaint of
his father for using threatening lam
guage and threatened assault and
brought before Judge Porter and
placed under $500 bonds to keep the
peace The old gentleman disliked to
see his son go to the county Jail, and
as he was being led away, cried out for
mercy for his son. He was permitted
to return to his fathers home. Father
and son went home, but it is said that
before bedtime arrived the son again
began to abuse his aged father and
forced him out of the house. He was
compelled to sleep in the timberland
all night. This conduct the good old
father could stand no longer and last
night he caused his re-arreSt.
The county Jail is too good place
for such a contemplate beast, for a
real, true son will not attempt to
abuse or assault one who has looked
and watched over him when he was
helpless and unable to battle with the
world. There is no punishment too
severe for such a person if these things
be true. 1t seems a pity that the
whiping-post is abolished, for a good
sound threshing that would make the
blood run, and then a long sentence
behind prison bars where hard labor
is being performed would be just the
thing for such person as would drive
his own father from under his own
roof into the woods to sleep, or rather
to lie all night.

BLUE EARTH COUNTY JAIL

The Blue Earth County jail in this
city is not built on modern style,
and yet visit to the institution will
prove of interest to the curious mind.
A FREE PRESS man visited the jail
this morning, and was cordially re-
ceiyed by Deputy Sheriff D. t. Bowen,
who faithfully explained the rules
governing the inmates, and their man
ner of living, while confined within
the walls.
In another, distinct apartment of
the building, are elegantly furnished
rooms, occupied bv the genial deputy
and his family.
In the prison proper there are nine
cells, and when visited this morning,
were found clean and tidy. There are
200 volumes of reading matterrin the
corridor for the use of the inmates;
and besides these there are about a
dozen selections of magazines.
The following is the bill of fare that
the deputy says is given every day:
Breakfast-Meat, potatoes, bread, but
ter and coffee. Dinner-Meat, yege-
tables, Cabbage, cake. Supper-Bread,
sauce and tea.
There is supply of water accessa-
bic to every prisoner, and with three
substantial meals, light, ventilation
and reading matter, the prisoners in
the county jail ought to congratulate
themselves on having such quarters.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAyoR SOCIETY.
What the Field of the Society is, and
its Increase of Membership since
its Birth.

TheYoung Peoples Society of Christ
ian Endeayor of this city is making
extensive preparations for the State
convention, which is to be held in
Mankato, the latter part of this
month. The committee of arrange
ments will-spare no pains to make it
one of the most successful conventions
religiously and socially, that has ever
been held in Minnesota. Rev. Fran
els E. Clark, of Boston, Mass, who is
known wherever there is a Christian
Endeayor Society, will be present, al
so other prominent men who are earn
estly working for the advancement of
the organization and its work.
The following questions have found
their way to theSocietys paper, known
as the Golden Rule, and is ably an
swered by the editor:
Ques. /. Is it unconstitutional or in
any way ayiolation of the proper func-
tionS of Christian EndeayoI society
for local union to adopt system of
aggressive Christian work, such as
chartering wagon and holding gos-
pei services in the poorer districts OF
a large city, and 10 raise money TO
carry out this plan?
,. Do you think such action adyis-
able when there is a good field Tor this
work? w. W. i.
.ARs. The field of Christian En-
deayor society is in its own church,
the same as with a Sunday school.
The local union is for fellowship and
for the inspiration that comes from
public gatherings. and as rule, we
think. cannot to any great extent
wisely take up union missionary work.
If, however, the pastors and churches
of the societies belonging to the union
all unite in desiring that the work
should be done, we see no reason why
it might not be carried out. The So
cieties would then be observing the
Christian Endeavor principle of doing
only what their churches desire to
have done.
The Christian Endeavor society was
born in Maine in 1881, and the follow
ing table shows its increase of MEM
bership by years:
