AMONG FARMERS.

The farmers of North Dakota and of
portions of Minnesota are not as cheer
ful as they were. 1t has been discovered
that wheat there is in a bad way owing
to smut which las recently developed
there. In many of the fields the wheat
contains fully 30 per cent. smut
The shortage of the hay crop has in
duced farmers to look IN other directions
for fodder. The pea straw which Albert
Landreth used allow to go to waste is
now beng cut and cured and sells for
s. Der ton. AS the straw is green it
makes good food.
The report of damage to the wheat
crop in Dakota and Minnesota caused
an advance IN the price of wheat on
Monday.
4. G. Pierce of ManitOwoc Rapids did
not push his irrigation scheme this sea-
son as he expected an abundance of rain.
He says 1t would come very handy now.
HIS berry crop was short this year owing
to the early frosts which killed off the
first blossoms which always produce the
best berries.
Grain receivers in Duluth have re-
celved notice from gram reporters that
the wheat yield for this year in the north.
western states will be 100000 bushels
less than the lowest estimate, which was
100000 bushels. The wheat has de-
terlorated considerably during July, and
the estimates to begin with, were too
high.
Farmers who have hay III any quantity
VIII make fortune this fall. Tom Windi-
ate has 100 tons and he views with pleas
ure the advance in price.
The weather report states that the
weather Of last week was favorable for
harvesting and for maturing crops
throughout the state. Winter wheat.
rye and barley are cut and threshers are
at work. Early sown grains are turning
out much better than those sown later.
Spring seeding of clover is declared a
general failure.

NOTES FROM MISHCOTT.

Mishicott is again entertaining its
quota of summer visitors.
Work on the dam has been begun but
it Is progressing very slowly.
mir. Willie Trossen is down with quite
a severe illness. 1t was feared it might
turn into typhoid fever but he IS now re-
ported to be on the ROAD to recovery.
We hope this report may prove true.
Mishicot people must now shut their
ears to five whistles announcing CON-
mencing and closing of working hours.
They are Shimmals -four and single
mill, Mishicot Flouring Mills, Mueller's
Planning Mill, Rhode 4 Wer tke's Planlng
Mill and Scheuer's Brewery.
The NJ. L. and s. C. took trip into
the country last Sunday and camped or
the banks of the Neshota river near Lar
abee z. O., where very pleasant time
was enjoyed by all. Among the friends
who shared the pleasures OF the after
noon were Miss Bertha Boehmer of Mani
towoc, Mrs. Henry Berner Cf Amigo and
Mrs. julie Lindstedt OF Manitowoc. Mrs.
Llndstedt Was one of the organizers of
the old Social Circle OF this village from
which the present N. l.. and s. G. is de-
scended. Only few Of this patrlarchal
band are still with us though the organi-
cation which they founded is still an in
stitution of our village. A library Is to
be founded by members of the Circle
this winter and what they undertake 10
do is usually done well. They deserve
the assistance and commentator OF all
citizens.
Miss Jennie Danielson of Mantle voc
is spending & few days in the village as
the guest Of Miss Hilda Thompson.
II Mishicott is to become rural sum
mer resort the chief responsibility for the
accomplishment of this desire lies with
our hotel men. Instead of the petty an
imosity which is the great hl1drance TO
the prospects of our village, they ought
to cooperate heartily with one another in
an effort o bring Mishicot into promln-
ence as a genuine rural summering place.
The Badger state House, Hotel Dre1s,
Mishicott Home and Peoples Home are
all Of them clean, orderly and convenient
boarding places. and If they but made
proper efforts they could all of them Sc
cure a steady summer trade in this line.
In silly antagonism none profit; in pros
perity all share. JUNIOR"

The newspapers of the state are seri-
olsly discussing the action of Attorney
General Mylrea in satisfying the ludg-
ments against tie eX-treasurers as dl-
rected by the legislature at its last sess-
ION. The only mistake Mylrea made is
ia delaying action at all. He should have
yielded prompt obedience to the law
which was suggested by dictates of
humanity whether it was constitutional
or not. There are certain things which
S iOuld be done as matter Of clemency
r which 1t is absurd to look for legal
authorization. The people of Wisconsin
did not wish to see n man who was I'M
p17erished still further bounded, nor
20 broken men made to witness the
spectacle OF their bondsmen drawing
upOu their resources to replenish the
state treasury because former legislatures
and state administrations had been remiss
Ia their duty. 1t was not a question of
law but ofhumanity, and the action Of the
It5i7idJuIe SAOuld Hi'o Deeh iLtel ploIeu
in the light OF the latter.
MyIrea made the whole thing farce.
He chose to treat the thing from legal
st lndpoint when the clement impulse OF
tn people was strong, and then dropped
from his legal attitude when the people
We're interested IL the legal aspect Of
the case. There would have been no
criticisms had he not invited them by
questioning tie constitutlOnality of the
law and then taking no steps toward
satisfying the question he had raised. Il
does seem that he has yielded more to
the direction of third parties than to any
opinion of the constItutionality of the
law he may have formed by his exami-
nation

Tue lecture given by Dr. J. A. Zahnl of
Notre Dame university at the Columbian
summer school a. Madison on Friday last
was intensely interesting, The advanced
position taken by the reverend lecturer
on the question Of evolution must have
startled those inclined toward couser-
yatism. He practically accepts evolu-
ton and finds nothing in it at all antaco-
nlstic to dogma. Huxley would have
heard this lecture with pleasure as he
was impatient Of obstacles to scientific
research from the fear that revealed truth
would suffer. Or. Zahm has placed the
Catholic church IN position of friend
illness toward the most advanced seien-
ti6c IDEAS and has earned tie gratitude
Of all scholars.

JUDaE ClementsanIs now being pushed

The former Is spoken Of highly by those
who know him. and still the fact that he
tried to sHpplant a member of that court
contrary to the usage prevailing in this
state. will ever be against him.
