A Liberal Proposition.

Who has not heard of that paragon OF
family papers, the enterprising an popu-
lar Weekly. Detroit Free Press? For a
generation it's name has been house
hold word and it has become a SYNONYM
for all that is excellent, pure and elevat-
ing in journalism. 1t is delightfully."- en-
PERTAINING without resort to cheap SEN
satlonalism instructive without being
prosv or pedantic. Combining the liter
airy qualities of the expensive magazine
with the bright, breezy characteristics
of the newspaper, it leaves nothing to be
desired by the average reader. 1t is
looked upon as welcome visitor by ev-
cry family who readsit, while thousands
regard it as indispensable and would on
no account go withoutit. An enormous
circulation of 125,O00 copies per week
.attests its wonderful popularity Recog-
nizing the fact that there are those who
are unfamiliar with its SURPRISING nler-
its as home paper, the publishers offer
to send The Free Press to them for the
balance OF this year tower FIVE months)
for only thirty cents-a club of four for
$1.00 or club of ten for $500. All our
readers should subscribe at once. Send

street sprfnkIing,

1t is not at all creditable to the city
that our principle business streets are in
volved in cloud of dust. The sprinkler
was withdrawn on Monday last because
not enough money could be collected to
continue the service. Fora team and
driver, with tank of no value except
this special service, two dollars assdayiis
not an exorbitant or unreasonable price,
and had that amount been guaranteed
the service would have have been contin-
ued. AS a matter Of fact all that could
be raised by subscription was $3.50 per
week. It shows a lack of enterprise on
the part of business men to permit dis
continuance of the service. In fact some
ofthose who had subscribed discontin-
ued their subscriptions. It does seem
that this matter is worthy of liberal at
tention. Some of the interested parties
have beenhberal enough, and if all would
do what they could-what the service is
well worth to them, the sprinkler would
be started again. 1t is unfortunate that
our charter does not permit OF a tax levy
on property benefited for this purpose,
but inasmuch as 1t depends upon volun-
tary contributions the HERALD would
urge that a little more liberality be man

A party of yachtsmen were becalmed

and while waiting for breeze the time
was occupied in spinning yarns. There
were two or three old salts on board,

younger and less experienced tars sat

of the old salts took his pipe from be-

On Friday of last week the dead body
of Mrs. William Bender was found near
the road, mile from Long Prairie, I'M
der circumstances which strongly indica-
ted murder, and her husband was arrest
ed upon suspicion. An inquest was held,
and the Pioneer Press of Sunday morn
ing has special telegram from Long
Prairie, which says:
The inquest held on the body of Mrs.
William Bender was completed to-day,
woman came to her death from blow
OF blunt instrument, which they be-
lieved to have been in the hands of Viii
liam Bender. There is but little evidence
against Bender except suspicion, as he
has been in the habit of i'll treating her
and made no effort to find her, though
she was absent from Monday evening.
When found she lay on her face in
small open space in a dense patch of
brush, one rod from an old road and
about four rods from the main road.
Her face was jarnmed against small
stool of grubs with such force that her
head was thrown back. Her left hand
WAS IIIHiy CidSpSu on one Oh the STuDS,
while the right hand grasped some grass
and twigs. A pool of blood at the root
of the grubs showed that she bled at the
nose from the blow inflicted when she fell
against the shrubs. The body was so
badly decomposed that 1t was hard to
tell whether the face had been bruised by
blow. An examination by the doctors
showed that no bones about the head
had been broken. though they thought
the right eye showed wounds. The body
was scantily clothed, having neither hat
nor shoes nor stockings.
A thorough examination of the house
by Pioneer Press correspondent re-
vealed no trace of blood or OF any strug-
Gle, though the air is full of rumors.
Bender is now in jail and there is NUT
tering among the Germans that lead the
officers to fear that an attempt will be
made to lynch him tonight. The wom-
an was about fifty years of age and had
not been in robust health. The couple
had but one son. a lad of about fourteen,
but nothing can be got out of him so far.

1t Is well known that American actors
are exceedingly fond Of New York, while;
they like other places in varying degrees

they do not like ct ALL The reasons are
obvious, but a new illustration may be
found In an incident Of Miss Rose Cogh-
lan's tour of some of the small towns OF
Pennsylvania. In Peg Wellington" Miss
Coghlan introduces a minuet, and she has
an orchestral score specially prepared for
it. 1t is the custom when the company
is travelling to send this ahead, SO that
the orchestra of the theater can rehearse
it. Ina certain one night stand the adj
vance agent approached the manager on
this subject and asked if the orchestra
could be called together.
''Well, the fact is, /" replied the man
ager, 1--WE haven't got an orchestra

No, only 'pianoist.
Whit was more, the manager did not
ts,ina that an orchestra could be had in
the town. Theadyance agent photographed
back to the town where the company was
for instructions. After much consulta-
ton it was decided that a piano score
must be made from the already existing
orchestra score. The leader of the or

The crop prospects of Minnesota are in
every way most encouraging. The pro-
fits to the farmer for the current season
depends upon the price-proyiding moth
ing occurs in the way of climatic misfor-
tune to injure the growing crop. The
following relative to the condition of at
fairs agricultural may be taken
with such allowance as it seems to be
worth:
c. A. PilIsbury was bubbling oyer with
good news for the farmers last evening.
AT lust about this time of year Mr.. Pills
bury is accustomed to get reports from
his agents in Russia regarding the gener-
al crop situation over there. Reports
have been coming in for some days past
of the wheat situation. These estimate
the shortage there at about 20 per cent,
which, on the basis OF the figures OF past
years. will give the country but 30, OO0.-
600 for export. This is encouraging in
deed to the American farmer, but now
comes Mr.. Pillsbury with private cable
gram regarding the rye crop. Thisstates
that the shortage will be fully 50per cent.
This means good deal more than ap-
pears on the surface. 1t means that
Russia's rye crop will be less than 240,-
100000 bushels. instead OF the usual
6OO,O00.0O bushels, tremendous fall
ing off. Russia consumes 54O,OOO,OOO
bushels of rye, which will leave rye
shortage of SOC, 100000 bushels. This,
MIR. Pillsbury holds, will far more than
counterbalance the extra $4,000, 900 OF
wheat. 1t means that Russia will need
every bushel of that wheat for her own
consumption and more besides. She will
not only export no rye this year, but no
wheat as well. More than that, any
body can see that 50,00O,0 900 bushels OF
wheat isn't going to take the place OF
100000, 900 bushels OF rye, which means
that both staples will have to be sent in
to Russia to supply the home consunnp-
ton. Instead of a grain exporting eoun-
try, Russia will be this year grain i'm
porting country.
All this presages great things for the
American farmer in the big miller's esti-
nation. Il means to him good prices
even in the event of a good crop, and
generally good times all around for the.
northwestern community. In previous
years Russia has provided onerthird OF
the wheat exported. This extra one
third, with the one-third which he has
hitherto thrown into the worlds jack
pot. will be required of the American tar
mer. Mr.. Pillsbury is naturally jubilant
over the situation and thinks his agri-
cultural friends should be likewise.
Regarding the home crop outlook he is
not over sangulne. Private reports show
the rust doing considerable damage in
sections, and the general reports that
the wheat, though big in straw, is likely
to fall short of what it promises. But
the good prices all around, tor all other
breadstuffs as we'll as wheat, Mr.. Pills
bury thinks are as good as assured:
