THE OUTLOOK DUBIOUS.
A Discouraging Story About Cen
tral Minnesota Crops.

A DlscnuraGinG Story About Cen
trail Minnesota Crops.
Special to the Globe.
SAUK CENTER, Mimi, July 21.-The
outlook for the crop through central
Minnesota is far from encouraging in
spite OF early reports. From reliable
sources it is learned that many fields
are headed out with heads barely one
half as long as last year while the straw
is not over six to eight inches in length
and very thin, while many fields are
struck with rust already. One large
land is passably fair while that
on the sandy land is worthless. Many
fields are estimated at not
over six to eight bushels to
the acre and we have yet to see the
farmer who has been through the grain
field within a radius of twenty-five
miles who reports any fields equal to
last year. The same facts, according
to reports of farmers from this vicinity
who have recently returned from there,
holds good throughout the Red river
valley and out into Dakota. Some
small sections may have fair fields but
the majority of the crop in these sec
tions will be far below a poor average.
Wheat will be from two to three weeks
later than last year and under the most
favorable weather and conditions, our
best farmers do not estimate over 20
per cent of last years average.
CRooKsToN, July 21,-The crop out
look for this county the coming season
is most promising for good crop unless
hail or other unforeseen changes are
experienced. For the past ten days
Polk county has had frequent rains,
and these have been followed by bright,
warm days, which have improved the
crops fully so per cent, and have made
the farmers feel jubiant. The northern
portion of the county has had more rain
aud some hail, but it has not seriously
affected the general outlook. 1t is esti-
mated that the average yield will be
about ten bushels to the acre. The
backward spring experienced here was
followed by spell of very warm
weather, and the grain had an excellent
opportunity to stool. During the early
summer months no rain was had, and
vegetation of all kinds was rapidly ad-
yanced. Only about One-third of the
entire acreage of the county was sown
this spring.
WINONA, Minn., July 21.-One of the
leading grain dealers of Goodhue coun-
ty,who was in this city today. estimates
that the farmers i'll his section still have
on hand in their granaries or in storage
at least one-half of last years crop.
They held on to it last fall i'll anticipa-
tion of higher prices in the spring, and
as the expected prices did not come
they held on to the grain, and will coll
tinue to hold it until fall, and see what
the prospect then is. While many of
them are inclined to think that there
will be a rise in the price of grain, some
good judges who have given the matter
careful study think that from the pres
ent outlook prices will be lower than
year ago. and that the reason for this is
In part the promise of an unusually
heavy crop this season.

SAUK CENTER, Minn.. July 21.-A
great fire swept this city this evening,
doing damage to the extent of S6O,0OO
The fire originated from hot journal
in the third story of the Davidson mill,
and spread with such surprising rapid
ity that the town was soon beside Itself
with excitement. Connections were
made with the water works, but
the firemen driven off, Messages
were sent to St. Cloud ana Little Falls,
and those cities responded by starting
their fire departments to the scene. The
great mill in short time was seething
mass of flames and beyond saving. A
bucket brigade was formed and other
buildings drenched. The Davidson mill,
which had just been purchased for $780,
600, is a total loss, as is also the
electric light works across the street.
The water works building was crushed
in just as the fire was fiercest and the
whole city seemed doomed. The flames
were creeping into the Northern Pacific
depot when the wind suddenly changed
TO the north and gave the sweltering
bucket brigade chance to check the
flames. AT midnight everything is COM
paratively safe with total loss of about
$4,000. Everything is confusion and
there is no opportunity tonight to
find out anything about insurance. The
flames could be seen for twenty miles
around. The watchman at the mill
barely escaped with his life. and the
bookkeeper was struck on the head by a
flying timber and severely hurt. A
large force of men is at work trying to
save the uam, which was badly weak
ened by the fire next to the mill.

NOVEL FEATURES OF A CONTEST.
Several of Them in Connection With the
Election of a Senator.


WASHINGTON, March 12-Considerable
interest is being manifested among Demo-
cratic Congressman over the coming Sena-
torial contest in the Texas Legislature.
The Governor has called the Legislature
of that State to meet in special session next
Monday, March Il, and one Of the subjects
mentioned in the call is the election of a
United States Senator to fill the unexpired
term of Senator Reagan, resigned. Senator
Chiffon, who was appointed to fill the
vacancy until the Legislature should regu-
larry elect, is being warmly pressed by his
friends, among whom the most earnest is
Governor Hogg. Representative Mills and
Representative Cu;berson are also strong
competitors for the vacant seat.
The balloting for United States Senator
will begin Tuesday, the 22d inst, and a
unique feature of the contest is that there
will he no preliminary Democratic caucuses
10 settle the question OF part preferment.
As there are only one or two Republicans
in the whole legislature a caucus is re-
garded as wholly unnecessary, so that
without any general preliminary confer
enceS b&lloting will begin on the 22d anu
continue from day to dav until somebody is
elected Another some what unusual feature
Of the contest is the fact that it will be con-
Quoted without any of the aspirants on the
field. Messrs. Mills, Culberson and Chiffon
all announce to-day that they expect to
remain in Washington, at their posts of
duty, during the whole contest.
