Mrs. w. D. Beldon of Caledonia,
daughter Of Darling Welch of this
city, is visiting with her parents in
this city.
On Saturday last Mrs. E. e.. Sim
clair and daughter, Miss Ella Sinclair,
cousins of Rev. J. Sinclair, came here
to visit their relative. They are finish
ing an eight months trip round the
world, and will have made the perfect
circuit when they cross the Atlantic
and arrive in Scotland again. They
left Scotland in December of last year
and made the trip by Greece, Italy,
Egypt, Asia, Ceylon, India, Australia,
Fiji, Honolulu and Vancouver. They
we're unfortunate enough to have
sailed from Sydney with a Canadian
Pacific steamer, whose machinery
broke down several times on the ocean.
They say they were not greatly
alarmed though disconnected by be-
ing detained on their journey a week
longer than they anticipated. They
are both considerably Drowned with
the sea breezes but are in perfect
health and excellent spirits. They
think Redwood Falls is about as pref
ty as Scotland in it's surroundings,
and as a city they think the streets
much finer than the streets of Scotch
villages. They admire the width of
the streets and the trees with the
grass growing between them and the
driving part of the street. They say
they streets are more like the boule-
Yards of French cities than anything
they have seen in their travels.
The weekly crop bulletin for the
week ending Monday, June IA, fol-
lows: 1t was decidedly cool the first
of the week, with frosts, which it was
feared would add considerably to the
damage thought to have been done by
previous frosts, but the cold was fol-
lowed by well-distributed rains about
the middle of the week, and warmer
weather, the temperatures on the 18th
and 18th being higher for the season
than for number of years, The.
crops have responded so rapidly to-
the improved conditions, that the be-
lief is now general that the worst dam.
age by the frost has been confined to
corn, gardens and fruits. Some cor
respondents say the wheat will almost
entirely recover, while others still
think a permanent injury has been
done. Oats and barley suffered some-
what in places. Corn has probably
been damaged the most of all crops,
SO that with poor seed and frost the
outlook is poor. Potatoes were badly
frozen, in some places they were en-
tirely cut down, but they are growing
again, and further than the delay, the
injury will not be much. Grapes we're
badly injured and probably strawber-
ries, but raspberries will yield we'll.
Grass has been much set back by
cold and is not uniform in growth.
The soil is in excellent condition and
with warm weather rapid growth of
all crops will be made. A small tor
nado struck Kandiyohi county on the
10th destroying one farm, and on the
same day serious tornado caused
loss of life and destruction of property
along path 10 miles long in Free
born and Mower counties.

Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
As our National aud STATE legislative
bodies are now in session aud there are
no great disturbing elements before the
people-save poverty, idleness, and dis
Ipation, it is nov timely to discuss
these great national and social evils.
E pecially as they very naturally fos
ter and strengthen each other. For
van Of employment many persons are
no suffering for the real comforts of
life. hunger creates a desire for stimu
lants, and drunkenness leads to pow
erty. The licensed saloon creates IDLE
ness, poverty, and Drunkenness; and
the system OF treating keeps the bust
ness going Often a mod9ra:e drinker
steps into a saloon TO buy a drink and
leaves a dollar instead of q dime, as
there are always friends to treat and
be treated aud there is no class more
liberal than drinking people. Self in
terest is the god of the world and sell
f5hness it's r%ellgiOnl Hence the lIuuor
traffic is the great lever power OF the

makers, VINO are the custodian of the

ton of individuals, families, churches,

a monopoly to undermine her best in
