duce them to give up their moisture.
Last season it was so wet that the
rainmakers' vocation seemed to be
gone, but this year there is some need

THE GROWING CROPS.
The Weather Conditions. A Slight
Improvement Of those of Previous
Week.

The general summary OF the Min
nesOta Weather service for the week
ending June 9th is as follows: The
weather conditions for the week
ending June 9th were a slight i'm
provement over those OF the previous
week, but the need of a general rain
is becoming more urgent. Beneficial
showers took place on the 9th and
18th and did an immense amount OF
good, they were however, light in
most places and complaints through
out the Central section are almost
unanimous that all crops are being
slightly injured by drouth which is
especially damaging to late sown
grain, causing it to become thin and
weedy. The Red River Valley and
Southern Sections were favored with
more rain, and the conditions are
consequently more promising. The
temperature during the week was
slightly above the normal, and in
furious to small grain. but very ben
eticial to corn, the reports nearly all
showing this crop doing remarkably
Well. Winter wheat in the valleys is
heading out and the prospects are
good except in some places where it
is inclined to be thin. Spring wheat
is shooting" and the general out
look is promising. The yield OF rye
will be below the average in Winona
county. Barley is generally in good
condition, some reports that it is
heading out short and has u thin
stand. conditions which would be
vastly improved by timely rains.
Flax is doing well and more than
usual has been sown this year. The
harvest of clover has begun in the
southern district and the yield will be
above the average. The hay crop
now fast maturing is generally in ex-
cellent condition with promise of a
large yield. Potatoes in some coun-
ties are suffering from slight
drouth but no material injury has as
yet taken place. Strawberries are
now ripe and being marketed, the
drOuth has caused the yield to be con-
siderably less than expected. Other
small fruits are doing well with pros
poets of above the average crop. So
far this year there has been very lit
tie damage reported by insects, etc.
Chinch bugs have appeared in Vino
ma county, but have not done any
appreciable injury. Grubworms in
Houston county have damaged some
corn, but elsewhere no complaints of
this nature have been received.

AN ACCIDENT TO A VETERAN.
Capt. Edward Davis Of Fl. Ripley
Breaks His Hip.

An accident occurred a few days
ago at Ft. Ripley which will call up
recollections of the times when Min

Indians and when about as much in
terest centered about Fl Ripley as
about military points in the South.
Capt. Edward Davis, who is in

about 80 years of age, broke his hip

nomads are frequently formed. Before en-
tering town they separate and go through
one by one, each with an artful tale of woe

wanderers repair to convenient camping
ground where before a roaring fire, the

stronger than his desire for luxuries. When
