Poor Crop Show,

The weekly report OF, the North
western crop prospects and the
weather prevailing at different points
in the Northwest, as furnished by
local weather department for the
week just passed is as follows:
THE temperature and sunshine
during the week were below the
normal, and the general rain and
snow storm of the 18th and Goth
caused an excess precipitation which
will make very backward season.
Nothing has been done in the North
western district and much Of the
land in the Red river district is un-
der water. Farmers report that
with the most favorable conditions
no seeding can be done during the
month. Seeding began in the North
west April ~, 1892: April "a, 1891, and
was general April IL, 1890. These
comparisons will show about how
backward is this senson. Elsewhere
throughout the state but little ad
vance has been made. Some seeding
was done in the southern district on
the 18th and 18th, but everything has
been at a standstill since then. Re
ports received from every county in
the state show on April q the snow
averaged nearly ten inches south an(
q foot f,r moro north Of tho Mime
sofa river. A few counties report
that the acreage sown in wheat will
| be less than last year, and in Sibley
county the seed sown on low GROUND
is said to be rotting ON account o
| excessive moisture

E. G. Handy Assigns.

The many Little Falls friends and
acquaintance OF E. G. Handy, of st.
Paul, will be sorry to learn he has
been forced to make an assignment,
owing to slow sales of the real es-
tate held by him. The Pioneer Press
speaks as follows OF the assignment:
1.-The assignment of Egbert G.
Handy, the we'll known real estate
man, which was made yesterday,
created considerable surprise. It
was not known that he was in
Strengthened circumstances, and the
news OF his misfortune was received
generally with regret. AS the cause
of the assignment, Mr.: Handy said
that there was no sale for the real
estate held by him. A great part of
it is unimproved property, and the
taxes and assessments upon it for
the last several years have been a
great drain upon his resources.
Besides his connection with the
Columbia Electric company, which
recently went into liquidation,
materially aided in bringing about
his embarrassment. Mr.. Handy
said that if the property could he
sold it would pay off all Indebtedness,
but it was absolutely unsaleable,
and left him where he stands today.
The principal liability is mortgage
Indebtedness. and outside of those
his debts amount to about $35, 900.

a very smooth scheme is being
worked by Chicago sharpers upon the
unsophisticated farmers of the North

out circulars asking the farmers to
send bushel Of wheat, charges pre-
paid and they agree to sort each bush
ell taking out the defective grains, af
ter which the wheat is to be put in q
glass case for exhibition at the worlds
fair, labeled with the name of the
farmer who raised it and the location
of his farm. Alread thousands Of
suckers have been caught, and thu
bushels of wheat are rolling in so fas
that it requires six teams to haul it tc
the elevators, where, after taking out
enough to fill half pint bottle, thu
rest is sold and already nice little
sum has been realized by this trans
action.--Crookston Times.

Very few Of the comments of
local papers on the conduct Of the
representatives in St. Paul this
winter deserve greater publicity than
the original publication affords, but
there are few exceptions. Occasion
ally a compliment is so we'll deserved,
80 neatly turned, and withal so true
that general publicity should be given
it. The Lake City Graphic-Sentinel
says the following about Hon. A. J.
Greer, of that city:
"Mr. Greer has secured everything
he had been asked to, for this part of
the state, and has been found on the
right side Of every question where the
state at large, was interested, and
especially has he looked. after every
thing that was Of interest to this
county,"
It was great relief to a member to
be able to watch Bro. Greer and see
just how the interests of the state
we're effected by any proposed legis.
lation. Such a bell-wether saved
the state from lots of disasters, and
he would been glad to saved her from
a few r2ore.

There are many government jobs
awaiting Minnesota patriots in Wash
ington, if justice is done. A state
ment showing the number Of positions
various states are entitled to in the
leading departments at Washington
shows that Minnesota should have
412a jobs, while the actual number Of
employees credited to this state is only
22S. IF enough applications are sup.
piled Mr.. Doran there can be little
difficulty in increasing the North Star
state quota by over 200, but the APP
:"lications must be made before the
appointments are passed around. The
work is easy and the pay good.
And now J. J. Hill is given the
credit of controlling Democratic
patronage in the Northwest, and
Doran is only his GRAND hoy. IT
seems conceded all around that the
patronage is in control of some "boss,
and the question is to locate him.
Last falls St. Paul Globes seemed tc
indicate that Hill was leading the
Republican campaign in the state
It seems pretty good conclusion thai
Hills not worrying his brain very
much as to who will fill the few
public Offices at the disposal oil
Minnesota Democrats. The only
man who builds a railroad across the
western half of the continent without
placing his company in bankruptcy
is not peddling out Offices.

From the Minneapolis Tribune.

From the Minneapolis Tribune.
J. M. Markham, who represented
Aitken county in the last legislature,
was at the Nicollet yesterday.
Mr.. Markham has been home
since the adjournment of the legis-
lature and only reached Minneapolis
yesterday. He says he found loud
murmuriug and open dissatisfaction
with the legislature. The principal
cause for complaint was the defeat of
the Mark ham bill for the taxation of
railroad land. This bill, it will be
remembered, passed the house with
practically an unanimous vote but
was defeated in the senate by the
railroad lobby.
sOf the 100000 acres of of un-
taxed railroad lands" he said, $780,
600 are situated in Aitkin county.
We are probably more interested in
the matter than any county in the
state. Had section 2 of the omnibus
appropriation bill gone through we
would have been afforded measure
of relief. That appropriated $4,000
to reimburse our county for the In
justice put upon us in the refusal to
provide for the taxation Of this great
tax exempt domain, but even that
small modicum Of relief was denied
us. ..-
"The last Of this matter has not vet
been heard. The case is going into
the courts, and if not satisfactorily de-
cided there will be again presented to
to the next legislature. The counties
interested have Joined in a motion fol
a mandamus to compel the county
auditoreto place these lands upon the
tax list. This motion will, Of course.
be resisted and the whole question
will thus be opened to the courts.

WINDY CHARGES.

Washington, Special, April 23.-
While there is much talk about the
alleged pine land frauds, and especial
ly among those on the Chippewa
lasds, which are now being surveyed
and examined with a view to their
sale at public auction, it is we'll to
remember that no great amount of
fraud can be perpetrated, and it is
also interesting to know that the field
notes by the surveyors show that
these lands are not nearly as valuable
for pine as represented. The major
ity of the plats that have been re-
turned so far, and especially those re-
lating to Red Lake lands, which were
coded to the Chippewas, are marked
swamp and1 tamarack, which are not
considered valuable. On the eastern
part Of the Red Lake reservation
there are townships where there is
valuable pine, but the greater portion
Of it, according to the surveyors re-
ports, are not very valuable. The
townships Of coded lands to the White
Earth reservation and where the
Democrats hoped to unealth a mares
nest, can easily be examined by vari-.
GUS lumbermen interested in the pur-
chase Of the property, and any firm
or individual desiring the purchase
of this pine need not rely upon the
estimates m.de by the government
examiners, but might send their own
men into these townships and make
the estimates for themselves. The
examinations on the part Of the gov
.ernment have been made for the pro-
lection Of the government, that the.
lands will not be disposed Of for a
sum less than their nominal value.
Is there is any competition for the.
purchase Of the pine, there is II, tlao-
ger Of any frauds being rerpetrated
and there has probably been more
wind in these charges than anything
else.

Many woman has helplessly
wrung her hands when disease has
stepped over her which to fight the
enemy, writes Helen Jay in the May
Ladies Home Journal. Perhaps the
doctor cannot come or she has no one
to send for him, and the drug store is
miles away. Every wife md mother
should, in some de rec at least, learn
what to do in an emergency Of this
kind, and she should never be guilty
Of that crime against the well-being
of her household-an empty medicine
chest. She should see to it that the
hotwater bags or bottles are always
ready for use, and that the jar is full
of mustard. A bundle of cloths for
bandages and p]asters should be with
these, so that no matter how great the
panic into which she may be thrown
she cannot fail to find them. TO gel
the patient into bed surrounded with
hot-water bags, after soaking the feet
in hot water and mustard, is to fore.
stall some Of the good Offices of the
best physician. To restore failing
circulation there is nothing better
than mustard-plasters, made with hot
water, and placed upon the sole Of
each foot, the back of the neck, each
wrist and the stomach.
