The Crop.

Up to date the crops are looking
we'll. There has been an abundance
of rain, and the high winds. of Friday
night lodged the grain in places, but
with favorable weather it will rise
again. The straw is heavy and soft,
the heads large and are just entering
the critical peried-the milk state.
Three weeks of cool, dry weather
would mature a crop equal to the best
ever harvested in this vicinity. Hot
stormy weather will be disastrous.
Rye and barley ase fit to cut, and the
harvest has already begun, Both are
fairly we'll filed. Potatoes are prom
ising we'll, while corn is perhaps back
ward, but yet doing well. Hay is
light-vast areas of meadow being Ell
ther under water altogether, or too
soft to admit of machine cutting.
Take it all in all the outlook is prom

The Great Northern.

i Residents and those who are inter-
ested in the new town of Walker and
the counties of Cass and Beltrami are
overjoyed at what they consider sure
signs of the building of Great North
ern extensions in that section. The
surveyors of the company, who have
been running line from Park Rapids
have almost completed their work and
are now camped just outside the vii
lage of Walker.
Shortly they will continue the sur
svey up the Pike bay, where it is said
the line will connect with the much
talked-of Fosston survey, made dur
ing the winter. The people who live
there have the notion that the Cana
dian government have subsidized a
new road to be built from Winnipeg
to Duluth, which will traverse Bel
trami and Itasca and some of the ter
ritory of the Great Northern and Du-
luth, Superior, and Western. The
folks in the north point to this as
showing that the Great Northern al
least is due to do something to pro.
tect its own interests. Globe.

The loss entailed by the fire in the
store of w. G. Warren & Co. has
been satisfactorily settled. The in
surance companies sent men here i'm
mediately after the fire, and while no
specific offer was made, sufficient was
indicated to show that the companies
and Messrs. Warren & Co. were wide
apart in their estimates of the loss.
The insurance aggregated S4500, and
the representatives of the cOmpanie s
merely intimated that fifty per cent.
might be paid if acceptable but even
that was not insthe nature OF an offer.
The insured firm Indirectly refused to
entertain any such proposition and
the appraisers were appointed. The
companies appointed w. w. Thomas,
formerly OF the extensive retail house
of Hole Thomas & Co., Minneapolis,
and Warren Il Co. named j. F. ,Jor-
dan, of Wyman, Partridge & Co.,
wholesal merchants of the same city,
and they selected Cline O. Wheeler, Of
this city, who had conducted retail
business in Winona for several years.
After week of hard work, the loss
was settled at S2S61, which is satisfac-
tory alike to insurers and insured.
The firm are putting their goods in
order for sale which will close out
everything in stock preparatory to
putting in complete fall stock of alb
solutely new and fresh lines in every
department for the fall trade.
Both appraisers agree that the
stock is the best assorted and clean
est of the scores they have been called
upon to inventory under like circum-
stances. The accuracy of the firm s
business transactions is manifest in
the fact that the inventory varied less
than fifty dollars from the record as
shown by their books, and that in a
stock worth 5000.

J. w. Fedderman, wheat buyer of
Lintonville, was the victim of mis-
placed confidence the other night. A
man named William Christie, who
formally resided in this city, was CIV
en- some work to do by Fedderman,
and the fact soon developed that they
had been brought up in the same
town in Indiana, and had hosts of
common acquaintance. Christie was
invited to share the sleeping room
with his employer. During the night
he got up, arrayed himself in Fedder-
mans clothes and skipped out. In
the pocket of the coat was a walletcon-
tanning $3.50 in cash and notes amount
ing to several hundred dollars.
Christie started on foot for Sauk Cen
tire, and Fedderman, with a friend,
started after him. Meantime the
pocketbook was picked up on the Get
ty road, near the Bergman farm, and
given to S. P. Hansen for delivery to
the owner. Fedderman arrived in
town, located his pocketbook, but
could not find Christie, who had beer
seen at Melrose. He started for Mel.
rose but arrived too late Christie
had gone, and he is still probably in
pursuit, for nothing has been heard
from him since.

Gathered To Her People.

The following special to the Balti-
more, Sunawiil be read with sorrow by
many relatives and friends in st Paul
ind Minneapolis as also in other
PARTS of the state. Mrs. Ellis was a
sister of the late Col. VIM. H. H. Tay-
Tor, former State Librarian.
Mrs. Fannie c. Ellis, the wife of
Col. Thomas Fl. Ellis, of Washington,
,. c., formerly of Richmond, Va,
died at the residence of her adopted
son, Hon. Beverly r. Harrison, in
\mherst, yesterday. She was love-
ly and noble woman. All the days of
er life her beauty, her graces and her
gifts won for her admiration and
raise. It is rarely given to any wo-
nan at the close of a long life to leave
behind an influence SO distinctively
inc or to be SO crowned by the devot-
ed affection of a large number of rel
etives and friends, conspicuous
smong whom are the children of her
.sdoption-children given to her by
heir mothers on their death beds. A
5ruer, more loving and beloved wife
never lived. The body will be taken
o Richmond for interment in Holly
vood Cemetery.
Col. Ellis survives his wife; he is
,ighty-threc years of age. Before the
var he was a wealthy man and his
lome at Richmond was one of re-
lowned elegance and hospitality.
Colonel and Mrs. Ellis have been de-
voted christians for many years

FOOTWEAR MEYERS.

DR.. Samuel Appleton, in Health
Culture, gives fourteen of them,
which every person will derive
comfort in needing:
l. Never wear a shoe that will
not allow the great toe to lie in a
straight line.
2. Never wear shoe with sole
narrower than the outline OF the
foot traced with a pencil close un-
der the rounding edge.
8. Never wear a shoe that pinch
es the heel.
4. Never wear shoe or boot
80 large in the heel that the foot
is not kept in place.
5. Never wear shoe or boot
tight anywhere.
6 Never wear a shoe or boot
that has depresslons in any part OF
the sole to drop any joint or bears
ing below the level plane,
Z. Never wear shoe with sole
turning up very much at the toes,
as this causes the cords on the up
per part of the foot to contract.
s. Never wear shoe that press
es up into the hollow of the foot.
9. Never have the top of the boots
tight, as it interferes with the ac-
ton of the calf muscles, makes one
walk badly and spoils the shape of
the ankle.
10. Never come from high heels
to low heels at one jump,
IL. Never wear one pair of shoes
all the time, unless obliged to do
so. Two pairs of boots worn day
at time alternately give more ser.
vice and are much more healthful.
IL. Never wear leather sole lin
ings to stand upon. White cotton
drilling or linen is much better and
more healthful.
Is. Never wear short stocking,
or one which after being washed is
not, at least, oneahalf inch longer
than the foot. Bear in mind that
stockings shrink. Be sure that
they will allow your toes to spread
out at the extreme ends, as this
keeps the joints in place and makes
a strong and attractive foot. AS to
shape Of stockings, the single digs
ital or "onestoe-s stocking" is the
best.
IA. Never think that the feet
will grow large from wearing prop-
er shoes. Plnching and distorting
makes them grow not only large
but unsightly. A proper, natural
use of all the muscles MAKES them
compact and attractive.
