THE New York Mail and EGpreSs
says that the reports from the editors
Of newspapers in Nebraska which
have been received at Republican ma
tional headquarters in Washington
describes the condition of affairs in
that state in striking terms. Crops
are enormous, prices are 80 per cent
higher than they were year ago,
money is abundant, the interest rate
is low, labor is in, growing demand i'm
dustries of all classes are tlourishing,
and the whole state is enjoying an ex-
traordinary degree of prosperity. And
continues the Mail and Express: The
dogma of free trade and free silver has
been discredited and routed in the
state of it's chosen leader; natural con-
ditions. under the assured protection
of honest money and an American
tariff, have smitten Organism IN it's
own household, and the whole wretch
ed edifce of the cheap money dema-
gogues has tumbled to pieces about
the headstof It's builders. With this
wholesale revival of agricultural and
other industries, it is not extravaganza
to predict that in November the state
of Nebraska will renounce her false
doctrines, smash her Popocratic idols
and get back into the Republican COL
umn, where she properly belongs.

ILLS OF HUMANITY.
Several People Suffer From Severe
Accidents,

Mich Hendrickson, who works at
the cement works, was injured last
night while at work in a tunnel. A
piece of rock fell from the side of the
tunnel where the men were drilling
and struck him in such a manner that
his scalp was cut open and his back
was injured. He will be contined.to
his bed for some time.
A young daughter of Henry Hoff-
man, who resides four miles from the

HANDSOME ANlr1ALS.

Prof. Gentry's superb company of
performing dogs and ponies are to eX-
hibit in this city under a thorough
waterproof tent on West Cherry
street Monday and Tuesday, August
3Oth and 31st, with matinee Tuesday
at 2:30 p. m.
Prof. Gentry easily has the best
show of it's kind in the world. The
one hundred handsome dogs and
ponies in the company are said to sur
pass anything ever seen in that line
before. The sixty-five dogs in the
collection it is said are worth some
sixteen thousand dollars; this is a
good sum when person realizes that
they are'only dogs. This exhibition will
be thoroughly worth attending, and
all the little folks will probably be on
hand. The prices of admission are,
children 10 cents: adults 20 cents.

LONG DITCH WANTED.
Mcpherson and Medo Farmers Want
to Drain Their Land.

County Surveyor Brooks returned
today from the townships of McPher-
son and Medo, where ,he sur
veyed ditch which some of the
farmers Of those townships desire to
have dug in order to drain their lands.
The proposed ditch will be two and a
half miles long and will pass through
sections q and 81 in Mcpherson, and
section 3 in MedO. 1t is proposed to
have the ditch ten feet wide at the
bottom half the distance, and eigh t
feet wide the other half. The depth
will vary according to the surface of
the ground. The cost will probably
be about S400 to $500, which will be
assessed upon the property benefited,
in accordance with the drainage law.
The survey made by Mr.. Brooks is
preparatory to the presentation Of a
petition to the county board asking
for the improvement. This petition
will be presented at the next meeting.
Mr.. Brooks will 60 to Ceresco to-
morrow, with County Commissioner
Hannay, to survey new location for
the Boeck bridge over Perch creek, and
to estimate the COST and benefits and
damages.

MR.. PALMER COMEDIES.
Says Blue Earth County Will Average
Fourteen Bushels of Wheat.

When asked as to the probable :,
average yield of wheat in this county,
Geo. M. Palmer gave the, same figure
as given by o. Little yesterday
fourteen bushels to the acre. He esti-
mates the increased acreage OF wheat
in the county at fifteen to twenty
per cent, and believes that this will
about bring the total wheat produc-a
tion Of the county up to that of last
year, The farmers are not bringing
in a great deal of wheat, and what has
been marketed will not be very good
grade. Mr., Palmer believes that after
the wheat has properly sweat it will
mostly grade No. 2, with considerable
No. 1.
Very little old wheat is coming in,
although the price is much better,
than that for new wheat. The farmers
either have not as much on hand as
was thought or else they are in no
hurry to sell. i@'fTS

HOG CHOLERA.
1t is Becoming Serious in Several
Counties, .

The spread of hog cholera in Blue
Earth, Nicollet and some of the other
counties in this locality is becoming
very serious, and threatens to cost the
farmers great sums of money. a.7.}
General Baker is very much exer-
cised over the outlook, and declares
that Blue Earth county alone will suf-
fer loss of fully $3.50, 200. He says
that there is nothing thus far dis,
covered that will stop the disease.
Several parties who went to Iowa re-:
Gently and bought quantities of the
''cure" have utterly failed to receive
any benefits. Can Piper has lost Is
hogs, Geo. Barttell, "a, and John Men,
ton 30. The Iowa remedy was applied
to all these cases. The general says
that hetook extreme caution with his
hogs when the disease first broke out
in his neighborhood. He established
rigid quarantine rules, gave his swine
the greatest possible care, and still
the cholera has enteredahis drove and
he is prepared to see most or all of
them die. rr..nr.* NJ
The outlook for stopping the plague,
is very discouraging; and heavy losses
to the farmers seems inevitable. y,

"GIVE ME- CHICAGO"
Manager BuchhoItz Expects to Call
Up PorkapoIis In q Few Days.

The work Of stringing the wires
for the Northwestern Telephone Ex--
change Co.'S eastern line will be COM
pleted this week, so Manager Buch-
holtz informs US. Already Eagle
Lake, GAINESVILLE, Waseca and towns
further east are connected and in
struments ready for business. Next
week our merchants can talk with
their customers along this line,
friends can converse through the
receivers. and lovers can murmer
sweet nothings into each others ears
at long distance.
Manager Buchholtz intends to ring
up Chicago in few days, when he
can get clear line without making
too much trouble. He will get The
Windy City through Minneapolis,
and will demonstrate to the large
local dealers the fact that they can
carry on extended conversations with
Chicago jobbers as easily as with
other people in Mankato.
If Mankato business man wants
to call up Chicago business house,
he will deposit with the local tele-
phone operator the sum of 1915 for
the first five minutes conversation,
and an additional amount not yet de-
termined for each minute occupied
thereafter. So it will behoove our PEG.
pie who expect to patronize this long
distance wire to have their thoughts
we'll in hand. If it is nearly time for
the train to leave Chicago and mer-
chant is very DESTROYS to get ship
ment of goods ON that train he might
find it profitable to use the telephone
line. There are many cases in which
it will undoubtedly be used to advan-
tage. ,-

A WEEK OF ENTERTAINMENTS.

St. Paul and Minneapolis are get
ting ready for gala week, during the
state fair. Each city has arranged
for series of entertainments and
sports that far surpass anything here
tofore attempted in that line. Out
side of the fair, this great carnival
will be worth going miles to see. The
cities will spend thousands of dollars
for the entertainment of their guests,
and will take better care of them
than ever before. And in this con-
nection it may be remarked that the
fair and carnival sports will draw
the greatest crowd seen there on such
an occasion. The farmers are feeling
good over their crops and the good
prices being received for them, and
many of them who have not taken a
vacation in years, will take the week
off for vacation. They have well
earned agood time and will have it.
The indications are that the atten-
dance will be immense.

AVERAGES FOURTEEN BUSHELS.
This Is Orange Little's Estimate on
Blue Earth Wheat.

When asked today what was his
estimate on the wheat crop of Blue
Earth county, Orange Little, manager
of Cargill Bros elevator, stated that
according to information which he
has it will 60 fully fourteen bushels
to the acre. He thought that it will
mostly grade No. 2, with little No.
l, some No. 3, and very little rejected.
The great increase in the price is not
causing much larger receipts, con-
trary to what may be expected. The
farmers are in no hurry to bring in
their wheat, or even to hasten the
threshing of it.
When asked what he thought would
be the outcome of the present bulge
in prices, Mr.. Little replied; 81 sup
pose 1 am asked a dozen times day
by farmers as to whether wheat will
GO up or down. make it practice
never to make prediction. L might
have my own opinion, but if l were to
express it and any of the farmers
should act in accordance with it and
make a mistake, you can see that they
might blame me for misleading
them"
Mr.. Little estimates the acreage of
wheat in this county as twenty to
twenty-five per cent greater than last
year. This will fully Offset the de-
creased yield per acre.

AN OBJECT LESSON.

The official announcement is made
that from the year 1878 to the year
1898, the silver purchased by the gov
eminent entailed a loss upon it Of
1921, 5SS, 1878 based on the present bull
lion value of silver. The government
still has on hand 112,000.000 ounces of
silver bought under the act of 1890 for
Sl04, 26l ,075 %, and on which at the
present price, there is loss of lit
tie over S58,OOO,O00. This makes the
effort of doing something for silver a
very expensive one. In view of this
fact and also that silver is still on the
decline,o or has been declining for some
time back, the chances of an interna-
tional agreement would seem to be
growing more and more remote. The
people are being rapidly brought from
under the delusion they have been
laboring under regarding that metal.
Take it in Mexico, those who have
been eXtolling the benefits of silver,
now admit that it is doubtful if the
cheap silver dollar is of any great
benefit, as it is somewhat too cheap.
The United States can stand the loss
it has met with in its experiment
with silver, and it can afford to keep
the amount of silver in circulation, it
noW has, but the last few weeks has
most plainly shown that further ex-
tention of the experiment to free
coinage, would prove most disastrous.
The people Individually could not
stand the pressure That would ensue,
as well as the government has been
able to, and it has already been a
heavy load for the government, that
has reacted upon the people as a
whole. The attempt this government
has made in behalf of silver, and the
great losses it has sustained both di-
rect and indirectly,will serve for some
time to come as an object lesson to
the people. an.

hopeful to the point of cheerfulness.
Business is picking up in all lines of
merchandise and realty is becoming
active. All feel that the stagnation
which has been SO depressing for the

times, and something like the old days
are upon them. The high price of
wheat and the general advance in
prices all along the line is what is do

HUNTERS ARRESTED.
Four Find Themselves In the Tolls
at rlapletOn.
Four More Are On the List For
Prosecution.

TIOSC\utloh.
Mapleton is all torn up over the
arrest of four prominent young men
on the charge of shooting prairie
chickens out of season, one of them
being deputy game warden. Our
informant states that the arrests
were made by VIM. Little, who holds
commission as adeputy warden. The
young men entered pleas Of guilty and
paid fines of 500 each. A young man
named Ward, who is deputy warden,
is said to have been one OF the
defendants. He is now said to be
determined to make it warm for all
others who have done illegal hunting,
and four more arrests are daily
expected. These parties will also be
found to be prominent young men, one
being the son of still another deputy
warden, so it is said.
There is no doubt but that the law
has been violated, and when those
who are supposed to be the guardians
of the chickens become their execut-
toner's during the closed season it is
time that something was done. There
are plenty of chickens in the country,
and if the law is properly enforced
there will be enough for everybody
when the season opens next week.

The wheat market continues to eX-
cite great deal of attention and
doubtless will for some time to come.
1t is again reiterated that Russia
will prohibit the further export of
wheat, and should this prove true, it
will doubtless have the effect of CIV
ing wheat still greater impetus in
an upward line, as the United States
is the only country that can supply
the deficiency in the old worlds needs.
From Argentine comes the news that
the coming crop is in excellent condi-
tion, and very large crop is in antici-
patton, But this will not have a
great deal Of, effect upon the imme.
date future of:the markets. The fact
is that the wor1d'ss surplus OF wheat is
so low, that it is said by those best in
formed that it. will take five years of
good crops the world over to bring
about the conditions that have ex-
listed tor the past two or three years.
One Of the best features of the present
rise is, that itahas come right at a
time when the producer is getting
the full benefit of it. No matter
what the speculator may make out of
it, the farmer is getting his share.
This is as it should've, and there is a
general rejoicing that it is so. He has
been at disadvantage for several
years past, and it is time he should

EX-GOv. ALTGELD says that he sees
no evidences of prosperity. It's plain
that he bought no 60c wheat, but if he
would get out among the farmers and
note their satisfied looks as they sto W
away the cash for a load of wheat he
would wonder if prosperity was not
creeping somewhere around the edges.
