THE CROPS.

Have Just returned from a trip
through Blue Earth, Watonwan,
Brown, Reinville and Redwood coun'
ties. Crops are looking we'll except
in a few localities where it has been
too wet owing to fat country and poor
drainage.
Barley is being harvested and is a
good crop. Oats promise large
yield; with corn there has been a lit
eral transfer motion within the last
two weeks. Many fields at that time
not more than three or four feet high
are now tasseled and silked out and
promise good crop.
But while wheat still looks well
there is wide spread feeling of dis
trust among farmers as to the result,
and the opinion prevails that had the
wheat been in the milk or doe state
during the excessive heat and fire.
quent showers Of the past ten days
the crop would have been materially
injured if not destroyed, and as every
day of hot weather reduces the chances
for a good crop the best farmers re-
gard the outcome as problematical.
Yet they are generally hopeful that
the weather may turn cooler in time
to assure fair crop.
The nomination Of Prof. McCleary
is well received by Republicans. OF
course the delegation from Redwood
felt little disappointed in not Sc
curing the nomination of Mr.. Turrell
who is first-class man, yet they say
McCleary is good man and a rustle1
and that they will give him a rousing
majority next fall.

A young man from this city went
to Minneapolis last week and was at
tracted into an auction store While
there someone came running in with
a gold watch and wanted it put up at
auction. The young man bid it in for
$50, and paid S. in cash and gave a
certificate upon the First National
bank of this city, calling for s45. The
auctioneer agreed to send this to
Mankato. C. o. d, and ask for s25 upon
it. When the young man returned
to this city he ascertained that the
watch is worth So, and is not gold.
He informed the bank of this bargain.
but the auctioneer sent the certificate
C. o. d. and demanded the entire s45.
This the bank refused to pay. The
victim went to Minneapolis again and
paid over the remaining s25 and adds
it to his experience account. No
comments are necessary.
Reports from various directions
indicate that wheat has suffered from
rust during the past week or two.
There is no doubt that every day of
this sultry weather diminishes the
wheat crop.
The Sisters of Herman will give a

WHO FOR THE SLAUGHTER?

Our friends, the enemy, are at sea
as to whom to nominate for Congress
next week. The Nicollet county del
cation is instructed for E. st. Julian
Cox. G. W. 81. Heideman, of New
Ulm, has been mentioned as candi-
date. So has W. II. Hammond, of
Madelia.
Gen. E. NJ. Pope's name has again
been brought forward. When seen by
a FEE PRESS reporter today, he
would not state whether or not he
would be a candidate. He quietly
smiled, but said nothing, when it was
suggested that L. G. Long, the Peo-
pies party candidate might be in
duced to withdraw. Should Donnelly
say the word, there is no doubt but
that Long would withdraw, leaving
the field clear for Pope. Many of the
Democrats are opposed to making such
a surrender of principle as this
would seem to neceSSitate,
and declare that it would
loose more votes than it would gain.
If this SCENE does not work, it now
seems probable that Cox will receive
the nomination.

WORK WELL DONE.
(From the Superior Leader.)

(ErOln the superior LcaQer.1
Fred Widell, Of Mankato, Mimi,
who had the contract for furnishing
all the stone required in the erection
of the Lake Superior roller mills, in
Guiding the setting of the foundations,
having fully completed his work, on
Friday shipped his outfit of portable
engines and derricks, together with
his force, to Sioux Falls, where he
has large contract with one Of the
railway companies. He carried with
him the qualification offered by the
warmest expressions of satisfaction on
the part of the superintendent of con-
struction over the manner in which
he had discharged each and every OBJ
legation embraced in the terms Of his
contract, and tits not hazarding much
to say that should the Daisy Roller
Mill company ever undertake another
similar enterprise Mr.. Widell will not
be subjected to any very close compe-
tition in bidding for that part Of the
work in his special line of business.
Some idea of the magnitude of the
job just completed by this gentleman
may be gathered from the fact that it
embraced the furnishing of all the
stone, rough and dressed, which will
be used in the construction Of plant
said to be the largest of its kind in
the world and which will consist of a
mill with a daily capacity of 5000 bar
rels and an elevator which will hold
800 900 bushels, with the necessary
boiler and engine houses, flour sheds,
etc. The foundation walls, the top Of
which are even with level of the ad-
joining wharfe, were laid upon piles,
the tops of which are two feet below
the waters surface, and are alto
gether of the most massive and sub
stantial character being seven feet in
thickness at the bottom and some
thing over three feet at coping. In
addition to the solid foundation walls
of the buildings proper are those Of
the immense smoke stack, and those
for battery of seven steam boilers
and complement of three engines Of
1880 horse power combined. The
work reflects the highest credit upon
the contractor, but must be seen to
be fully appreciated.
As one of the old and respected
deniZens at the East end remarked
the other day: Those foundations
will be there long after generations
yet unborn shall have come and passed
away" And it is pleasant to know
that the energetic old gentleman who
has performed such excellent service
in connection with this most import
ant industry has been enabled to de-
part with goodly balance on the
credit side of the ledger-as indeed,
do nearly all who seek and secure SIM
liar contracts here in this rapidly
city of unmistaken destiny.

Great Increase in the Number
Of Fatalities from Sunstroke
at Chicago.
Fifty Deaths and Twice as MANY
Prostrations the Record
for the Day.
A Fall Of Temperature Promised
Suffering Residents of the
Windy City.

CHICAGO, July 2s.-The slaughter by
the sun is still on in Chicago. Fifty
deaths and more than twice as many
prostrations from the heat occurred
Wednesday. 1t is certain that the num-
Der of deaths will be largely increased
during the next few days. The hoepi-
tails are filed with patients suffering
from sunstroke, many of whom cannot
possibly recover. A majority of the
casualties were among laboring men,
and in the portions of the city occupied
by the poorer class. In many streets IN
the neighborhood of the lumber district
the people camped during the night on
the sidewalks or in the alleys,
in the endeavor to procure a
breath of fresh air, but all their
efforts were in vain, for the
wind was hot and the pavement hot.
Although the mercury did not reach the
highest point recorded the day before
the condition of the atmosphere was
such that the heat of the suns rays
seemed to be more intense. Ats o'clock
the thermometer registered go degs., the
highest reached during the day. Here
it remained stationary until 4 o'clock
when the temperature fell gradually.
At o'clock in the evening the mercury
stood at IS dogs. According to the 10
cal signal service authorities cool wave
is on its way hither from the Northwest
and the temperature will fall Is or 20
dogs. within the next twenty-four hours.
The st. Louis weather was about as
hot as ever, the mercury at noon regis
tering 80 dogs. with four fatal cases of
sunstroke reported. The hot wave in
Detroit was broken at noon by an cleo
tric and rain storm lasting twenty min
utes and causing the weather bureau
thermometer to flop from 90 dogs. to SO.

Testimony OF the Defendant in the Mitch

MEMPHIS, July 2S.-In the Mitchell
murder case the defendant was called.
She arose slowly from her chair and
walked deliberately to the witness
stand 1t was highly dramatic move
ment. She was not sworn and answered
the questions of General Peters in low
but firm voice. She said she had known
Freda Ward as long as she could re-
member, and there was nothing un-
pleasant between them. She visited
Freda at Gold Dust twice. The last
time she remained two weeks. She said
she knew of nothing unpleasant between
her and Mrs. Volklnar. She saw Ashley
Roselle twice. She thought he was in
love with Freda Ward. She knew the
way Freda spoke of him they were en-
gagged.
Il did not want Freda to marry any
young man, because wanted to marry
her myself" said Alice. Then she be-
gan to cry.
Freda had winked at her near the
custom house. THAT wink with the
right eye" said she, meant love you.
Lille said to me as / started to kill
Freda, Where are you going I said,
4 want to see Freda once more,'" and
here she burst out crying again.
When General Peters asked that Ahcs
be placed on the stand the defense made
the objection that there was no prece-
dent for such action. A hot argument
ensued and General Wright made an
eloquent plea to save the family the hui
initiation of Alice making an exhibition
Of herself. The judge, hover, ruled
that she must go on the stand for exam
