Hugo Fischer is home from Quincy,

I'll.
Some Of the delegates returned from
the Minneapolis convention Monday
afternoon. All admit that the people
OF the Sawdust city know how to ham
die an immense crowd of visitors.
The New Ul1n Review takes the
ground staked out by The Post some
weeks ago, when it says our State p,ili-
tia should be reduced to one regiment.
The more we read about the organi.
zation the more we believe that the
great State of Minnesota could on a
pinch, worry along without even COM
pany of these uniformed gentlemen.
The whole thing is becoming farce
and useless drain upon the state treas
ury. Disband the militia, honorabIy
discharge the acknowledgement and the
brilliant staff of colonols and majors
that snow their fine uniforms once
year and draw big pay for it--Blue
Earth City Post.
/ Observer Moore, of the United States
weather bureau, has issued the follow.
ing weather crop bulletin for Minnesota
for the week ending. July 10:
| Haying is general throughout the
State, with fair crop, except in Vase
ca county, where it is reported poor.
The temperature has been considerably
below the normal in all parts of the
State. The rainfall has generally been
in excess in the central and southern
portion except in the extreme southeast
and southwest portions, where it has
been about average. The cool weather
has been particularly favorable for
wheat. The crop at the present time
gives promise of excellent yield in all
parts of the State. Slight rust is re-
ported from Mobiles County. Winter
! wheat is being harvested in the south
east part of the State, with fair crop.
Corn is so backward in nearly all por.
tons of the State that it is doubtful i,
- there will be sufficient warm and fair
weather to mature it.

D Emily, in LIE Sueur county, met with
e rather an unpleasant experience Satur-

turned she was horr1tied to find that
