Why Potato Bugs Are Scarce.

Prof. Lugger, the bug man of the
State University, gives the following
reasons why the potato bugs are scarce
this season:
A knowledge of the life history of
the potato beetle will explain the rea-
son why these insects are so uncommon
this year. The extreme drouth of last
year destroyed the foliage of the potato
when the last generation was still very
young, and most of the larva not find
ing food had to starve. Still quite a
number managed to reach full size and
attempted to enter the ground for
Information. The ground being ex-
ceeding ly dry made it difficult for soft
bodied insects to penetrate any depth
and this hardness and great heat com
blned to kill vast numbers of full grown
larva. Still a few succeeded to form
their cells in the ground and hiber-
mated successfully. The very warm
spell in the spring coaxed them out of
their winter quarters earlier than
usual and the succeeding freeze killed
most OF the potato' bugs which so far
escaped destruction. 49,,

REFUSE TOLEAVE.

Mile Laos Indians Decline the Offers of
Homes at White Earth.
r. Swedberg and Olof johnson, form
erly of this city, who now have farms
near the southwest shore of Mile Laos,
were in Little Falls to-day, and bring
reports that efforts of Indian Commits
sioner Baldwin to get the Indians to
leave their reservation" last week
were unsuccessful. They report that
offers were made of $500 to each of the
members of families that would re-
move to White Earth, but the Indians
declined, and demanded payments
there. The commissioner assured them
that no more money would be paid, to
them until they settled at White
Earth, but the Indians protested to be-
lieve otherwise; any way, they were
determined not to go. .....|
There are many Indians in the
neighborhood where Swedberg and
johnson live, but they are not now
troublesome. The natives do very lit.
tie farming, and depend almost en-
tirely on hunting and fishing for a iv-
ing. They work on the log drives
some and few put up hay for settlers
and lumbermen.
There is excellent soil southwest OF
the lake, and the settlers who have
opened up farms are well pleased with
the locality. Little Falls Transcript.

TITLED WITH SHOT.
Andrew Ostberg Stopped Most
OF the Lead Fired from
Fred Young's Gun.
A Shooting ARRAY Occurred Last
Saturday Afternoon Over
Disputed Ownership.

Il the shooting of Andrew Ostberg
by Fred Young last Saturday evening
doesn't result in murder it will not be
because the gun was not properly
loaded and aimed.
Young had been instructed to watch
Of grass which had been pur-
CHASED by Smith Soule near Silver
lake, and Saturday afternoon discov-
cred Ostberg and his companions cut
ting grass near by where land owned
by three different parties joined. He
went over and ordered them off and an
alteration ensued in which Young is
reported TO have been worsted. Young
left the meadow and the cutting pro-
ceeded until he returned from his
house about half mile distant armed
with a shot gun: Arriving at dis
lance of perhaps fifteen PAGES Young
raised the gun and fired, the charge
striking Ostburg in the left side
wounding him in the thigh, abdomen
and arm. He fired again at the crew
butsnone of the shot took effect.
Ostburg was Immediately brought
to the village and DR.. Tarbox ex-
amined his wounds. Thirty-twC
wounds made by number five shot were
found, several shot entering the alb.
dominal cavity. Probing for the pei
lets the doctor found that pieces of the
injured mans clothing had been blown
into his body and these were removed
His wounds were dressed and he was
taken home where he is reported to be
improving and unless something un.
foreseen occurs will ultimately recover
Officers Immediately went out and
arrested Young and brought him be-
fore Judge Dickey, who bound him
over to appear at the September tern
of court. Young first claimed the
shooting was done in self-defense bu
later stated that he did not intend t.
EhiJ,s Ostberg. He was taken to st
Cloud Sunday to await his trial.

Discoveries of America.

>~-~~O~A>~'
Four hundred and three years ago
this week, Columbus sailed from Palos,
Spain, on what he supposed was
voyage to the East Indies. Two
months later he unexpectedly stumbled
upon Il new world. Even then,
however, he supposed he had reached
India, and the name of Indians was
bestowed upon the aboriginal inhab-
itants. In August, 1858, the first At
lantic cable was landed on. the coast of
Newfoundland, and by placing the Old
and New Worlds in instantaneous
touch with each other, America was
virtually re-discovered.
The discovery of Columbus and his
successors was really of only a. small
strip of country along the sea-coast,
and the greater America-the mid
continent discovered, improved
and developed by the building of rail-
roads. One has only to ask himself
what would be the condition of the
great Central and Western States if
their only means of transportation
were the stage-coach and steamboat, to
comprehend what the great railroads
are. Fifteen millions of people live in
the eleven states penetrated by the
lines of the Burlington Route. To
visit any of their prominent cities and
towns, buy your ticket from your home
agent over the Burlington. Route, or

"Dan" Will Defend.

Fred Young, the Mile Laos county
farmer who shot Andrew Ostberg last
Friday, perhaps fatally, near Prince
ton, has engaged Attorney D. w.
Bruckart to defend him. Young sent
for Bruckart Monday and the latter
interviewed him at the county Jail.
No line of defense will be mapped out
or effort made to secure bail for the
accused man until the extent of the>in-
juries received by Ostberg shall have
been determined. The prisoner is a
Portuguese and is quite we'll known in
St. Cloud, where he worked at the

Charley Page Interviewed.

G. H. Page came down from the up
per river Saturday and stopped off at
Princeton for a few hours. The Brad
bury dam is all completed and the
Tibbetts Brook dam will probably be
finished tomorrow or Saturday. 1.-THE
dams are put in to stay this time, -
said Mr.. Page, land a man may sleep
week and wake up to find the dams
still holding the water. Within the
fowage of the lower dam are so, 100000
feet of logs and the .Milaca mill can
start up twenty-four hours after the
gate is raised. I haven't been down
river since April and I think I shall
go to Anoka and look over the ashes.
Someone is evidently trying to burn
the whole town down and hanging is
too good for him. I haven't heard yet
just what effect the fire will have on
our plans. Foley Bros. were to saw
part of our logs anyway and now that
our mill is gone they may get a con-
tract for the whole. They are putting
in an electric light plant to enable
them to run night and day when they
start. I have a crew at work on the
roads above Milaca and we are fixing
up all the bad places with corduroy
and drains, but there is not money
enough to fix the entire road as it
should be-" ..

IT RECALLED
THE HONEYMOON.

Here is a quaint little story
told Of a young couple upon
their wedding trip crossing
from Dover to Calais. Jenny
had grown tired-and sickly OH
deck and James had led her to
the saloon below, lovingly
wrapping her up in a Scotch
plaid in q snug looking corner
He then went and fetched her
some eau de cologne. and was
not less lavish of ehdearing
words until be found he had
made a mistake.
His wife had moved to an
otIier corner of tie saloon more
free from draught. hhd an ell
derby woman with jtist The
same sort Of plaid had taken
her place. Realizing the condi-
ton of affairs, james dropped
the cologne hottie and fled.
Later he induced his wife to
60 and apologize to the woman
he had unwittingly lavished
tenderness upon, and. and Jen-
ny went.
"My DEAR" said the elderly
woman, tearfully, "doh't apol-
ogise; it was nice to be called
such sweet names. 1t reminded
me of my honeymoon time. It's
many a long year since my
John had a tender word for
me.'j
John never meant 10 be i'm.
kind, and probably did love
his wife; only like many other
married men, he fanried that
the love which made for itself
speech without measure before
marriage had no need to break
silence afterwards.

THE USEFUL BREAD CRUMB


Bread crumbs crushed to q
coarse powder are admirable to
clean delicate lamp shades,
screens, pillows, fringes, scarfs
and panels made of boiling
cloths and numerous other
articles whose decorative office
is sadly curtailed from the del
icacy of their materials and
their hitherto difficult cleans
ing. The spot to be cleaned
must be spread on flat surface
and the crumbs laid on it; then,
with soft, clean cloth, these
are rubbed around and around
with even strokes. The crumbs
must be frequently renewed, the
soiled ones thrown away, and a
fresh layer put on. When the
cleansing operation is over, a
light shaking or a brushing
with q soft, fine brush removes
every vestige of fabrics, is most
satisfactory.

CENTRAL
AMERICAN UNION.
Meeting of Presidents to be
Held to Consider the
Question.

9.-There is no longer any
doubt that a meeting of the
Presidents of all the Central
American Republics will be
summoned to meet here in Sep
TENDER to consider the question
Of the Central American union,
the necessity of which has been
clearly demonstrated by tile
incidents between Guatemala
and Mexico and between Near
aqua and England, the latter
principally, as it is feared that
it may soon be repeated in
some Of the other Central
American countries. Steps have
already been taken for a boy
colt, in q commercial sense,
against England, by which the
merchants of these countries
and some of those of South
America will bind themselves
to make no purchases Of Eng
fish merchants and not to
receive any goods shipped in
British bottoms and the people
will not buy any goods that
have come from England,
though they may have been
purchased in other countries,
and it is even suggested that
all these countries denounce
the treaties of commerce which
they may have with England
and impose extra duties (im-
portation) on all English wares
and machinery though this
latter is considered most diff
fcult to carry out. The feeling
against the British is increasing
! in bitterness but it is not much
more friendly toward the Unit
ed States.
From letters received in of
fetal circles from San Salvador
it is known that that country
will no longer object to a Cen
trail American union, though it
will object to an American pro
tectorate or tutelage. This
government is arranging a gen
eral redistribution of its troops
and will cover principally its
coasts and frontiers to keep
out the refugees who are known
to be constantly plotting
against the Bonilla government,
and it is also claimed that
some of the military leaders
will be sent abroad on diplomat
ic missions so rs to keep them
out of any possible mischief.
The President has appointed a
new commission to arrange
some way of settling the gov
sfnmeht's Indebtedness, either
by consolidation or some plan
like the one of Guatemala.

HEAVY HOGS.
A Load at Cassidy's Averaging 500
Pounds Each.

The Cassidy Packing company has
Just packed and run into the refrigera-
tor a load of sixty hogs from Nicollet
county which averaged 500 pounds
per head. 1t was one of the heaviest
loads ever packed in Minnesota.
A load of light mixed was shipped
in today from Good Thunder which
are of prime quality.
Manager Schwartz states that an
average of 100 head of hogs is being
packed daily, and that there is no
difficulty whatever in maintaining a
good standard of supply. The wagon
hogs alone would keep the institution
going. The scarcity of proper feed
is given as the reason for the farmers
shipping in their products at such a
rapid rate, and this is unquestion-
ably the cause of present low hog val
ues. Mr.. Schwartz states that higher
prices are paid in Mankato for hogs
than in Omaha.

Prior had an interview with him and
many pleasant recOllectiOns were
brought back to view. Father Prior
says that there is no trace of Cor
belts former boyhood in the man.
