Your Buying Is
Wisely Done

If you select where the largest stock IS shown and
the best prices prevail And is it not reasonable that
the closest prices always be given where the
most goods are bought and sold. Come to this store
and see if such is not the case.

Weather Crop Bulletin.

For the week ending Monday, May
p, by s. c. Emery, Director Weather
Bureau, Milwaukee, Wis. Bulletin No.
The weather during the past week
was cold and dry, except on the oath
and 18th, when it was quite warm and a
few showers occurred. Frosts were
general throughout the state on the Goth
and 2lst, and in the eastern portion on
the 9th. The weather on the whole
has not been favorable for crop growth,
it being too cold and dry. The defc-
iency in rainfall is having a damaging
effect on most crops, and especially on
meadows and oat fields, which, on
clayeY soil have an unhealthy look 4
good soaking rain is greatly needed to
bring vegetation up to its normal con-
dition, it having been at nearly stand
still during the week.
Corn and potato planting is about
over, except in the extreme northern
portion where only about half the crop
has been put in. Farmers are ROW
largely engaged in road making, and
some are putting in a few more potatoes
of which large acreage has been
planted. The condition of crops is
greatly varied. In some localities they
are reported in excellent condition, in
fact never looked better. This is es-
pecially true of the eastern portion of
the state, while in various sections of
the remaining portion slight falling off
is noticed.
The injury from frosts is not as serious
as was at first supposed, the only If
reparable injury is that inflicted upon
small fruit, which in most sections is
nearly destroyed.
Cranberries are making no Roadway.
Apples are not as badly hurt as expect
ed. Corn which was cut down by the
frost is generally coming up all right,
while much of the later planted is not
yet up, and a few complaints are re-
ceived of the seed rotting, making it
necessary to replant.
Spring wheat is looking well, and
winter wheat is mostly a failure. Oats
are doing well where not sown on low
ground. Tobacco plants have not yet
been set, owing to the unfavorable
weather. Grass is making slow growth,
clover not looking well, and marshes
only in fair condition, so that from
present appearances the hay crop will
be below the average in quantity. The
lake counties and the southeast quarter
of the state appears to have suffered
little or no damage from frost, drouth
or cold weather, and crops are in fine
condition. In several counties, corn,
after being twice cut by frost, is coming
up nicely.
On the whole crop conditions are
much the same as last week, except
that the acreage was greatly increased,
and the outlook is favorable for at least
an average crop of the staple products.
The general tone Of correspondent
reports is noticably hopeful.

Sheriff House and Jail.


The sheriff house and Jail is started.
The ground has been broken, the
foundation under way and the work Of
erection will be actively begun the
coming week. 1t appears, from the
breaking of the ground, that the lands
purchased of DR.. Witter and still held
by the city will prove quite valuable on
account of the large quantity of clay to
be found there which can be proftably
used for street purposes. From now
until Nov. LIST, the date required for the
completion of Sheriff House and jail,
the scene presented opposite the Court
House will be busy one. Let the
good work go on.

Some Toilet Hints.

Glycerine and lemon juice softens and
whitens the skin. Mixed in equal
proportions it is an excellent remedy
for chapped hands.
Scars may be removed or made less
conspicuous by a daily application of
hot olive oil, rubbing the oil into the
skin with the tips Of the fingers.
a few drops of myrrh in wine glass
of water will work wonders in the way
Of sweetening the breath.
Continued bathing of the face in hot
water-not Warm-at night will tend to
remove wrinkles and pimples.
For an oily skin the following
mixture is recommended: Two ounces
Of eau de cologne, quarter Of an ounce
of spirit of rosemary, half an ounce of
oil Of almonds, ten drops of carbolic
acid. Only put in the face bath as a
rinse drop or two Of this lotion to an
ounce Of water.

Nc iern Woodnen Ball Team.

The order of Modern Woodmen of
America in the twin cities will sport a
tir5t-class ball team this summer. So it
was decided at a recent meeting, when
Messrs. DR.. Boorman. E. E. Witherel
and I. 0. Reilly were elected an athletic
committee to manage and perfect such
an organization. They propose to out
fit their club with new uniforms, new
mits and the best ball players that can
be found in our cities. Good games
will be secured both at home and
abroad and a new enthusiasm has
sprung up in this line Enough material
for a strong team is at hand, FIVE men
having joined the order last Thursday
for this purpose, and several others are
in view who can he secured. Wood
men Of other cities are organizing clubs
and the chances are favorable for many
games here this SIMMER. The boys
expect TO elect their captain tomorrow
evening, after which the nine will be
selected and practice work begun in
earnest.

The Right Kind of Pride.

4 young man that ''works for his
board" no matter what honest work
he does, has no reason for shame. 4
young man who eats the bread of idle
ness, no matter how much he has, is
disgraced. All boys starting in life,
ought to aim, first of all, to find a place
where they can earn their bread and
butter with a hoe, axe, spade, wheel
barrow, curry-comb, blacking-brush-
no matter how. Independence first.
The bread and butter question settled,
let the young man perform his duty so
faithfully as to attract attention, and let
him constantly keep his eye open for a
chance to do better. About half the
poor, proud young men, and two-thirds
of the poor discouraged young men, are
ALWAYS out of work. The young man
who pockets his pride, and keeps a
stiff upper lip, need not starve, and he
stands a chance to become rich, if he
cares to.

Condition Of Trade.

If wheat has been SO greatly injured
by the SHOWS and frosts in May that the
sudden rise of y cents in two weeks is
justified, the calamity will affect all
business prospects. The markets do
not believe il, for stocks do not collapse,
iron, leather and hides still rise, and no
holders Of wheat would sell at 50 cents,
a lower price than had been known at
this season for thirty Years prior to
1898, if current reports were credited.
Some injury has undoubtedly been
sustained, but our own dispatches on
the next page do not show that it is
really serious. The fact is that relief
from long anxiety, and the abundance
and cheapness Of money for which
industry and legitimate trade give as
yet no adequate demand, have excited
the speculative spirit beyond all re-
restraint The hot fever will have
nothing to do with cold facts. The
temper is to buy, regardless Of visible
requirements, in the faith that prices
are sure to rise. Wild excitement in
wheat, with sales in one day at Chicago
alone of 800 million bushels, about three
times the wheat there is in the country,
and a renewed frenzy in cotton, with
sales in three days exceeding the whole
visible stock in America, followed the
furious rise in stocks, in oil, and in
hides and leather, at once recognition
Of real improvement in business, and a
menace to its progress.
Western receipts of wheat for three
weeks have been larger than last year
in spite of storms and frosts.
