Week Not So Favorable.
The weekly report of the conditions
of crops in Minnesota shows that in
the first half of the week the tenn
perature was below the normal; in
the latter part, it was very slightly
state has had very little rainfall, or
none at all, during the week, while
the southern half has had scattered
showers, those in the southwestern
counties being heavy. The spring
wheat harvest is well advanced in the
southern half, many farmers being
nearly finished, while in the Red river
valley, the harvest is just begun.
The handling Of the cut wheat shows
that expectations as to yield, even on
the more favored soils, have been
placed rather too high. Owing to the
early frosts, rust, blight, excessive
moisture. ETC., the filling has not been
as generous as hoped for. In the
southern and southwestern counties,
the uncut wheat is beginning to Grim
kle down, and fears are expressed
that the wheat in shock may suffer
from the heavy rains, Some reports
say that the upland wheat in the Red
river valley is a good crop. Barley
harvest is finished in the SOUTH and
oats are about to cut there.
Oats have rusted badly in places, but

has been done. and a little threshing
from the shock, showing a fair turn
out as to yield. though the color of
the barley is very dark The rains
have interfered with these operations
in most counties. Haying on up
lands is nearly finished. Potatoes are
doing well. Corn has grown rapidly
during the week. the best now being
in the ear. The stand is poor, and
much corn will never mature but if
frost keeps off till September Is it is
thought that a fair crop will be saved.

MANKATO, Mimi, Aug. 10.-Am-
brose A Rieffe, a young farmer living
in Belgrade township, six miles from
here, was arrested today by Detective
Lawrence, of Minneapolis, and Sheriff
Bowen, of Mankato, on a charge of
bigamy preferred by Edith Warren, of
st. Paul. The lady claims Rieffe was
married to her last March in Mime
apolis, and that she afterwards learned
he was married. Rieffe was taken to
Minneapolis today on the above charge.
A few years ago Rieffe left the parental
roof in Belgrade, going to st. Paul,
where he worked on different jobs,
nursery agent being one. Afterwards
he obtained a position as street car
conductor. He there married Miss Pres
ley and returned to the quietude of his
fathers farm in Belgrade. Rieffe had
a bachelor neighbor, who often re-
quested him to secure him a wife. This
bachelor offered Rieffe $40 if a wife was
sent him. Rieffe advertised in a Twin
City paper for wife for the bachelor,
signing his own name. His answers
were many and he was burdened to re-
y
Paul was finally secured, and the bach
elor got a wife. eRieffe's reputation
from this time on was excellent as a
matrimonial agent. Miss Warren, the
accuser of Rieffe today, answered this
advertisement. He continued CORE
spondence, finally making an appoint
ment with Miss Warren at the union
depot in ST. Paul. From ST. Paul the
two went to Miss Warren's home in
Minneapolis. Upon urgent request
Rieffe brought Miss Warren home as
housekeeper, and she threatened to
take her own life if he refused. Rieffe
wilted into submission upon her agree
ing to work for her board and clothing.
Once at Rieffe's home in Belgrade she
wanted him to secure a divorce and
marry her. Becoming disguised with
Miss Edith's actions he secured her a
position in Kasota. Later she threat
ened him for sending her away from
his house. Rieffe denies the charge
in toto And says he will be able to
clear himself.
