There ~ a hitch in the question Of

up in the committee on public lands
this morning and considered for u

was shown by members OF the conf

the silver men that action was de-
ferred and it Is possible that the
appointment may 20 over untiialter

silver mel, is that the Admtnistra-
tion has Disseminated against

that Macdonald has been removed

whereas Theodore Bruener, the

The fact;is that Bruener's term Of

which were generally light, and fail

areas There was severe haili kitt-

On the lower lands where there has
been too much water the condi-
tiOn fs not 10 good, varying from
almost nothing to the possibility
of u fair crop, according to the
amount of water; the heading on
these lands Is delayed end uneven.
Southern counties report q little
rust. and fears of blight. Chinch
bugs are increasing south of the
Minnesota and Mississippi rivers
and east of Blue Earth and Fari-
bault counties. In the small winter
wheat area, the crop is good and be-
ginning to turn in color. Rye is
being cut south of the middle of the
state. Barley looks well, and in, the
south it ia being cut to some extent.
Upland hayipg is general, with the
crop only fair. Much hay was
spoiled early in the week by bad
weather, in some localities. The
meadow hay will be late because
of excess of water. Oats are turning
color in southern counties and will
soon be ready to harvest. Corn is
growing finely and is in tassel in the
south. Mucn damage by floods is
reported to property and crops in
Aitkin county. Raspberry picking
is in progress with a good crop.

A DAKOTA BLIZZARD.
A Normal Graduate Describes One
WhererSh Is Teaching.

The March number of the Man,
katonian contains letter from May
Vile, N. D., written by Miss Gertrude
McDermott, who is teaching there.
Some parts of it will be of interest, as
showing how much more snow there
is there than in this section:
This last storm was decidedly worse
than the first. The cold was intense.
The fine white snow was hurled about
by the mighty wind until it became
impossible to see three feet ahead OF
you. Many people, who were out,
were lost within a block of their
homes. Some living in the country
have never been seen since. Their
friends will live in hopes until melt
ing snow drifts will reveal the awful
truth.
During the storm, night came on
earlier than usual. The drifts then
were all on the south side Of the house,
but morning found them in another
place. Imagine drift of snow twenty
five feet high, changing from one side
of the house to the other in single
night. Some of the houses were com
pletely covered by the mountains of
snow
Lamps have burned for four days in
these homes. Monday we were I'm.
able to get to the school house, four
blocks from our boarding place. To-
day we got there but could not get in.
We wandered around on the drifts
part of the forenoon and returned
with frozen noses.
| AS we went down Main street, we
found ourselves on level with the
windows in the second story. At the
end of the street we slid down hill
and landed at the stamp window in
/ the postoffice. On the way home we
walked over tree tops, lamp posts and
| teleDhOne poles.

Mayor Weaver Reiterates He Is Not
Candidate.

There was a meeting of a number
of Republica IS at the office of w. E.
Young Tuesday to talk over mat
ters concerning the municipal situa-
zion and see what could be'done, if
anything toward an improvement in
local affairs, and whether. or not some
understanding could not be arrived at
by which the party could suli lily unite
upon some man, and nominate and
elect him as mayor. After full dis
cussion of the matter it was the unan-
imous opinion of those present that as
Mayor Weaver had publicly announced
that he was not candidate and was
perfectly willing to turn in and do
what he could to secure the nominal
tion andselection of DR.. Andrews, that
the doctor be asked to accept the
nomination if. so given him. In &C.
coFdance a committee was appointed
to see Mr.. Andrews and confer with
him In the matter and also with Mr..
Weaver and see if an understanding
could not be arrived by which the

party would go into the campaign
with solid front.
The reports circulated on the streets
today that steps were taken at the
meeting to form a civic league are
without foundation. No move of the
kind was taken whatever.
DR.. Andrews was seen by the COM
mittee and the situation talked over,
the doctor reserving his decision for a
day or two, but it is understood that if
the party shows disposition to unite
on him he will make the run.
Wednesday the committee had an
interview with Mr.. Weaver at the city
hall He reiterated his former state
ments that he was not candidate
for another term, but would support
DR.. Andrews and do what he could to
help him secure the nomination and
election. AS to his friends he could
not control their actions and that
while some of them would follow
him in the support of DR.. Andrews,
others undoubtedly would not.
Whether OMr. Weaver and his
friends would be willing to drop mat
tiers as they are and take up with
some new man, is very questionable.
