BOOK PUBLISHERS.
To Deluge Minnesota During The Hot
Season. New School Law Brings
Them Here.

Prof. Klepper returned from Min
neapolis last night. He has con-
tracted to represent during vacation,
Grim & Co. and the American Book
Co. leading text book publishers OF
Chicago. He will spend about two
months of the time in this county.
The new text book law in Mime
sofa has driven all the school text
book publishers into the field in Min
nesota. AS the law leaves it op-
tiOnal to have free text books or not
and as school boasds may select
whatever books they please, it makes
a grand field for contention among
the different rival publishing houses.
The new law gives the board a
good chance to get rid of the old
Merrill text books which had become
v9ry unpopular and it is expected
that most school boards will avail
themselves OF the opportunity.
Observation-Disclosures and other
able schoolmen are in good demand
to act as agents during vacation for
these rival publishing houses and
they get good salaries, probably
better than most of them get while
in school. Grim & Co. and the
American Book Co. have combined
in this county and will be represented
by one agent. The rivalry of these
publishers ought to be the means of
giving to Minnesota good text books.

STILL THEY BURN.
The Store And Dwelling House of Ole
Moe Destroyed By Fire Last
Night.

The serenity of Sunday night was
disturbed about 1870 by another
alarm of fire. The department
responded with tsusual promptness
and soon arrived at the scene of the
confiagration which proved to be the
two-story store and dwelling house
OF Ole Moe, situated at the corner of
Third street and Fifth avenue north.
Clarence Raymond first discovered
the fire bursting out around the
chimney where it is supposed to have
originated. A part of the household
goods and stock which consisted of
groceries were saved. The Norwegian
Lnthern church opposite was thro wn
open and the household goods taken
there at which place the family
stopped last night. The building is
wreck from the: fire though not
all destroyed. The roof and
partitions in the upper story were
burned, but the fire did not reach the
store room below. It was insured
$1,000 i'll the North British and
Mercantile company with v
Schallern and the stock in the Syndi
cate Of Minneapolis for $4OO with the
same agent. All of the hose com
panfes and the chemical were ou1
and did efficient work. There was 6
a brick structure near it that was
not much endangered, but tht
residence of Contractor Graham
toward which the wind blew with
considerable force was som.Wha,
endangered, but the good work o
the fire department saved furthe
spread OF the fire.

Dam.
From MONDAYS Daily

From Mondays Daily
Yesterday morning at about 10
O'Clock the community was startled
by the report that little girl had
fallen into the Mississippi and was
drowned. And soon Il hundred or
more people had gathered on the
bank of the river at the eddy below
the dam where she had been drowned
while walking on the sewerage boom
there or the logs while at play with
her little sister. She was the seven
year-old daughter of Gus Lesske, who
lives near the eddy, and her name
was Eda. The little sister who was
with her at the time is only three
years old and brought the sad news
home that Eda had fallen into the
river. Soon the father and mother
with many others were on the river
bank while some were out in the
boats or upon logs seeking to recover
the body. Itwas sad sight on the
beautiful Sabbath morning, while
the church bells were ringing. The
spot is one Of great natural beauty,
particularly at this season of the
year when the grassy bank and the
leafy trees appear Respondent in the

The far-reaching enterprise OF the
Ringling Brothers, whose famous
Worlds Greatest shows make a
return visit to Little Falls Tuesday
June q is bounded only by the
limitations OF the terrestrial globe
itself. In their efforts to give the
public each successive season some
new and hitherto undreamed OF
novelty, they have compelled every
cline habitabIe and uninhabitable to
pay tribute to their enterprise. The
jungles of Africa and the pampas of
the southern hemisphere have given
up their treasurers for this vast con-
course ofzoUlogica!, ,ethnOlogicdl and
aquatic marvels. The famous
circuses OF Europe have sent their
leading equestrian and acrobatic
featurers. Heading the list of great
riders is Charles w. Fish, the cham
pion somersault equestrian of the
world. Neither America nor Europe
has ever produced his equal. Chief
among the phalanx of aerial stars are
the Brothers Vernon. In their
startling feats in mid-air they are
without rivals. One hundred horses
