CHATS WITH TRAVELLERS.

state" said Hon. FL. C. Bull, of Cokato,
Wright county, at the Merchants yes
terday. Mr.. Bull was prominent
member of the legislature two years
ago, and is an exceedingly well-posted
man. "We need rain pretty badly" he
pursued. Everything is drying up,
and it we do not get moisture soon a
drought will ruin the crops. The bar
ley, rye and oat crops are being har-
vested, and the yield is excellent. But
the wheat is in danger. The same
should be said of the potato crop. But
corn is looking splendidly. The hot
weather has pushed it forward at
rapid pace.
Anything new in politics? Nothing
save that there are lots of candidates
for the postmastership, and no present
hope of any of them reaching the goal.
by the way, [. j. Buell., who is travel
Ing in the interest OF the state Demo-
cratic association. visited our town the
other day in search of recruits, and |
mink ne met with considerable success"
n
1t is no matter of surprise to all who
know the two. that Hon. Joseph Roach,
OF Mortified, was at Mr.. BULBS side
when he spoke as quoted. They served
III the legislature together, ana firm
and warm attachment sprung up be-
tween them. and this fact has often
been the subject of pleasant comment.
They were, indeed, the Damon and
PythiaS OF the house of representatives.
NO truer friends ever served in like
capacity.

point of crop promises. Rice county
has nothing to boast of. We must have
rains, and soon, or farming i'll our sec
ton will prove signal failure this sea-
son. Sill the hay crop is unusually
heaVy. The grass was strong and fine,
and 1t has been we'll secured. The fact
is. 1t has been ideal weather for making
hay. But our wheat is a failure. How
ever, Rice is not wheat-prOducing
center, and with the right sort of
weather we may yet come out all right"
Mir. Roach is Ell route for his stock
ranch in Montana, and left on the even

out several of the trotting successes and

ent circuits in the Northwest. He was
found IN the rotanda of the Merchants
yesterday. Horse training, he says. is
not SO profitable now as it has been in
the past, and he has added a large dog
kennel to his establishment down the
river. tie has ST. BernardS, Great Danes
and hunting dogs of different breeds.
aud he exhibits pedigrees as long as the
moral law for each and every dog in his
Kennel. 1t is his purpose to remove 10
st. raul IN the fall, and he expects to
open up firSt-clasS kennel here, where
he will undertake to care for private
dogs during the winter. He has had
experience that has admirably fitted
him for this sort of business.

~ on Minnesota people are Just like
they are i'll California" said Col Haines
al the Windsor Monday evening You
Drag about your climate and everything
else You say you never had such
warm weather. 1t puts me in mind of
noted banker and old citizen of Cali
tornla. BE went to that country with
the first surveying party and has lived
there ever since. When anything un-
usual happens in the weather line he
INSISTS that the like was never known
since he went there. Knowing that
they often have sand storms in that state
along the coast, thought [ would
test the old fellow and asked
him If such a thing ever hap
pened. He declared he did not
understand me and maintained such
thing was never heard of there. About
three days after the coast was visited
by sand storm that FLIED the streets so
that thousands OF Chinese had to be put
to work to clear them. and the ships
sand was Shoveled off in wagon lOaas.
| went to my acquaintance and asked
HIN II such thing did not happen two
or three times year with more or less
severity. He was uery indignant. and
Stoutiy asserted that lie never saw
sand storm before, and he had been
there ever since the first survey" Col.
Haues added: Il am told that YOU
often have lot weather in Minnesota,
but you people seem to forget ii or else
don't want to admit the truth"
