WIGS POWER.

AS everyone knows Queen Victoria is
but igurehead in the affairs of the Brit
ish Empire, and yet it is curious fact
that the actual power which lies in her
hands is something astonishing. Since
the reign of George III, however, the
British rulers, as they are called, but who
are only SO in name, have not taken any
active part in the political questions OF
the nation, with some slight exceptions,
and yet the queen could dismiss every
Tommy Atkins in the army, from the
commander in-chief to- the youngest
drummer boy She could disband the ma
w in the same way, and sen all the ships,
stores and arsenals to the first customer
that came along. Acting entirely on her
own responsibility, she could declare war
against any foreign country, or make
present to any foreign power OF any part
of the empire. She could make every
man. woman and child in the country a
peer Of the realm, with the right, in the
case OF males who are Of age, to a seat in
the House Of Lords With single word
she could dismiss any government that
happened to be in power, and could, it is
believed, pardon and liberate ali the
criminals II the jails. These are "a few
Of the things the queen collld do il she

A trolley car ran into a river at Cleve-

the heads of all the officials and trusted

the law and there hasn't been a bank
failure in China in a thousand years. If
some similar law, slightly modified, were
enacted in this country in relation to Off
GERS and employees of various kinds Of

the result Of carelessness or ignorance or

The weather during the past week has

well distributed over the state. A light
frost is reported from Ramsey county on
the 21st, doing no damage.
Hail storms have been doing more dam

complete reports have been received from
the places directly interested, so that the
full amount of damage cannot now be
given. Reports of damage by smut are
Still coming in, but on the whole it does not
seem as though there will be as much in
jury from it as was first estimated. Rust
is also beginning to show more than it has,
principally on late sow grain.
Rye and barley is being harvested, and
haying has been in progress with varying
results. From all reports, wheat harvest
will begin within a week in most sections;
a few fields have been cut in the southern
part of the state, but it will probably he
two weeks before it becomes general.
Except for the damage noted above, all
crops are looking well, and said to be in
fine condition, except corn, which con-
tinues backward, and Will be a light yield.
The potato crop will be large and flax was
never in a better condition.

Excise Laws Strictly Enforced by the

NEW YORK, July S0.-The police
made a supreme effort to enforce the
excise law Sunday, and to all appear
ances they realized their expectations
almost to the letter. To all practical
purposes the law was so thoroughly en-
forced that not a saloon was open to
the general public and so fearful had
h saloonkeepers become of the citizen
spy that it was q difficult matter for
oven the initiated to get a drink at any
place unless the proprietor or the man
in charge was absolutely certain that
no danger would follow the admission
of the would-be customer in the shape
OF a summons to court in the morning.
At the clubs, also, the excise law was
to all appearances strictly observed.
The precinct commanders had strict
orders from Acting Chief Conlin to see
that clubs were dealt with as saloons
have been.

fact, that perhaps the highest range of
mountains in America is onV the Uintah
Indian reservation in Utah. Bears peak
has an altitude Of IA, 900 feet, being 400
feet higher than Pixies peak in Colorado.
In a stretch Of 80 miles there are a dozen
such peaks with attitudes Of over 10, 900
feet each, and which are snow capped al
most all the year round.
From these mountains numbers of riv-
ers Of bright crystal water lave their
source. They flow down through the val
legs and plains, affording the finest nat
ural irrigation in the world. The two res
eryations have an area of about {, 1000, 600
acres, Uintah occupying about 4, 1000, 900

about $40, 900 acres of the Uintah land is
