be careful ,!of the wording OF any
such bet. Nby ''postoffice' is meant
the furniture and fixtures owned by

mind that Medved owns that, and
can doubtless keep It In it's present

is understood that he prizes 1t very
highly, and as he also is delighted
with its present location, it is prob
able that it will remain right where

FLOWING IN PROGRESS.
Some Damage Done to Gardens
l. by Early FrOsts.

Tie climate and crop bulletin for
the week ending Sept. 70, summarizes
conditions as follows:
The weather continues dry in the
Red river valley, but in other por'
lions of the state there were showers
on the 18th and 18th, which were
generally not heavy enough to
hinder blowing or corn cutting seri-
ous1y, though threshing would be
considerably delayed by them. The
first of the week was very warm,
followed by a rapid fall Of tempern-
ture, with frosts general on the
morning OF the 18th, and the tempera-
tnre continuing somewhat below the
normal during the rest Of the week,
with q heavy frost on the morning
Of the 2Oth. The frost III the 18th
caused damage to gardens and
tender vines, but the most injury
waa done on the morning Of the Goth.
Aside from affecting the leaves Of
green corn little, no damage to the
corn crop will result from the fr6sts
az most of the crop has past. the
danger line, and a great deal IL al
ready in shock. Threshing has pro
crossed we'll where not prevented by
wet weather, and many OF the large

a Volunteer Fireman Arrested
VI at st. Cloud for Setting X
Il rs. Fires. +

long 'tanding, charged with setting
FIRE to u dwelling house Sunday
night. y. ;,'+'-., 49,.
During the past month eight l'res
have broken out within a block Of
the engine house. The police have
been keeping close watch in the VI
cini'y. and for more than u week
have suspected Seberger, who was
employed III the flour mill near there.
Nevertheless two more fires broke
out without the incendiaries being
caught.
Circumstances finally pointed 80
strongly to Seberger that he was
accused by his employer. and made
confession. He also acknowledged
to the county attorney and the chief
OF police of setting Sunday nights
fire, but makes denial as to tue rest
He refused to make a statement when
arraigned, saying that he would tell
his story in the district court. He
was bound over. The police say the
motive was to get the 81 which is
paid to volunteer firemen for re-
spending to an alarm of fire. and a
desire for spending it on liquor and
fast women.

Banks in Good Shape.

Col. c. II. Brush, Of Fergus Fails,
national bank examiner for the dis
trict comprising most Of Minnesota
and Wisconsin, passed through st.
Paul on his way to the latter state.
Col. Brush says that the banks are
generally in excellent condition al
though there is less demand for
money than is usual at this time OF
the year. The great export demand
for wheat has resulted in g rapid
movement of tho crop and less
money is therefore needed than in
any ordinary years when 80 much Of
the crop goes into storage.-Ptoneer

A NEW DAM.
One to be Built at Mile Laos
Lake in the Near Future.

I Princeton Union: Foley Bros.
have made an otter to the residents
of the Mile Laos lake region which
should Immediately be accepted.
The company desire to put IN a new
dam ut the outlet which will hold
the water in the lake at M vigabie
head, the only privileges asked In re-
turn being the right to use the water
for driving purposes In the spring
and release from liability OF damages
caused by the fOwage. The con.
firmation of he shore of the lake is
SUCH that the item last mentioned
will be small, u few meadows being
the only parts which will be injured.
Mile Laos lake has no largo streams
to feed it and during the dry seasons
the brooks are practically dry. The
evaporation alone will amount to
several feet in season aud with q
free flow there is no way to keep the
reefs submerged. The lake, II pro-
perlv cared for, IL destined to be the
greatest summer resort In the
North, but it can never become pop
ular II it is not open to navigation.
The dam proposed will besubstan'
TALLY built and provided with q lock
for a iorty-foot b"at.::-. Besides this n
swing bridge will be put In, 80 that
there will he every convenience for
traffic of all kinds, and this without
a cents outlay on the part OF the
or individuals. Henneptn
county, in which MinnetOnka is
located has spent thousands OF
dollars in litigation to maintain Il
reasonable stage Of water but has
not yet accomplished 1t nor seen the
end of litigation. The difficulty
there was that the dam was not
built ut the very outset but was left
until people had paid fancy pricesfol
low projecting points and had erect
ed valuable buildings thereon. Let

brace this most excellent opportunity
to preserve the beauty and attrac'
tiveness OF the lake.

The Ciffln-Neill Co.

The entertainment given at the
Gross opera house Monday evening
by the Gif11n.Neill company was an
excellent one, and the company re-
ceived more praise than has been
accorded any theatrical organization
that has visited this city in years.
The company was as good as adver-
tised, but for some unknown reason
there was only Il small audience pres
ent. Manager Gross is discouraged
in his endeavor to secure first-class
attractions for this city, to fluid
when. the receipts are coubted that
his percentage leaves him behind,
and the percentage the company re-
cetves not sufficient to pay its ex-
l,enses. Such was the state OF affairs
Monday night, and 1t Is not the first
time that it has occurred. and still
Mr.. Gross IL asked to ret nothing
but first-class attractions.
It was necessary to change the
program for the Giffin-Neill perform
ance and the comedy "Niobe" was
presented instead Of 1.-THE District
Attol ney." @.:'Niobe" is an exceed
ingly entertaining piece In three acts,
and the audience was kept in a merry
mood throughout the whole evening.

the cast played his part to perfec-
ton. and the whole company Is a
Of high-class artists.
Mr.. Gross will play julie Walters,
in "Sidetracked," lat his house next
week, and in the meantime he will
consider the matter OF securing future
attractions. II companies with hur-
rah bands, donkey and dog street
parades are the kind the people want.
