business is to be transacted.
A ladder falling on team attached
to the Standard Oil wagon of j. w.
Ferris caused runaway Tuesday af-
ternoon. The start was from Lech-

the alley to Mill, up Mill to Second,
where they we're stopped without any
damage being done.
The Northwestern company has had
a crew of men at work in their yards
here during the past week, taking out
the old turn table and putting in
new truss table, big improvement
over the old engine mover. The COM
pany has also been placing a large
number of ties in its yards south of
the tracks for storing purposes.
Albert Lea Standard: Ten car
loads of beer we're sold by the various
big brewery companies represented in
this city for the celebrations, the bulk
of it going into the country, to which
region large proportion of the drink
| ing has been transferred from the city.
However, there was big city trade,
the delivery wagons running several
nights until the small hours of the
morning. Never before have the beer
agencies had larger trade here, and
it is so promising for the future that
three more brewers will establish
agencies in Albert Lea. And thus.
does prohibition" flourish, and thus.
do the taxpayers of Albert Lea foot
the bills without deriving a cent Of.
revenue from traffic that ought to-
pay for its privilege, and which thus,
might be kept under the due restraints
and limits of the law and police regu-
lations. Some good men believe in
prohibition" which under the law in
this State allowing the sale of intoxi-
eating liquors in kegs and cases,
means free whisky and beer-Albert
Lea is an example of it. The Stand
ard once favored making trial of pro-
hibition We have had the trial and
are yet getting it and we have had
enough. Never before in the history
of Albert Lea was drinking so extern
sively carried on as now, and it is
practically unrestrained, because the
intoxicants are sold in packages and
drank in private rooms, in shops, in
barns and in the bushes even sur
rounding the city. The old drunk
ards are soaked to the brim day after
day, young men are carouslng night
after night in score of rooms of the
city, and thus on goes the revelry of
"prohibition" free whisky and free
beer!

The. weekly crop bulletin for the
week ending Monday, July S, 1897,
follows: The week has been warm,
with copious showers, which in parts
of the North and Northeast have
amounted to floods; these have caused
rank growth of all grains, SO that
there is fear of oats and wheat lodging
on rich soil. Rust has appeared in
many fields. Hail has caused great
damage in parts of Mobiles, Murray,
Lyon, Brown and Redwood counties,
and there have been high winds, or
very small tornadoes, in some sections
that have injured buildings, etc. Corn
is still backward, and poor stand,
but it is growing fast. Potatoes are
doing splendi1ly; some are in bloom,
and few have been dug for use. All
small grains are heading. Rye is fill
ing we'll and beginning to ripen. Hay
is short and light, and on the mead
ows it cannot be cut now because Of
high water. Cultivation is almost
stopped by the wet soil.

Teaching P~o1iteness.

A mother noticed a remarkable
change in the department of her six
year-old son. From being rough,
noisy and discourteous, he had sud
denly become n of the gentlest and
most considerate little fellows in the
world. He vas attending the kim
d~ergarten, and his mother naturally
Inferred that the change was some
how due TO his teacher S instruction.
"Miss Smith teaches you to be
polite ?" she remarked, in a tone of
interrogation.
"No," said the boy, "she never says
u word about it,"
The mother was puzzled, and all
the more when further questioning
brought only more emphatic denials
that the teacher had eve given bel
pupils lessons in good breeding.
"Well, them" the mother asked
finally, eff Miss Smith doesn't say
anything, what does she do :"
''She doesn't do anything" per
sisted the boy. "She Just walk,
around, and we feel polite. We fee
just as polite as-anything."
That was all he could tell abou
it, and his mother began to SCI
through the mystery.-Educat;on ma

q
"A Large Amount in Prospect for
the School Fund.
The Columbia Register says that
Commissioners Vance has paid into the
State treasury SIS, 500.40, which pay
ment completes the mount that was
liked by the act Of the Legislature 10
be paid into the general fund. The
total amount paid into the treasury
since the passage of hat act is $lSS..
500 40.
Commissioner Vance assumed con
troll Of the dispensary May LIST last, and
under his management $SS, 500.4O has
been paid to the State.
All profits accruing henceforth will
be devoted to the school fund, and be.
fore the Legislature meets in January
next, Col. Vance says that he is con
tident that fully $I5, 900 will be turned
over Tor school purposes. The business
months are yet to come, and the COM
missioner says that he does not antici-
pate any fear that the profits will fall
short of.his estimate.
The constitutional convention incor-
porated in the constitution that the
general assembly enact a law directing
all the profits of the ~dispensary to 90
the free school fund after the then ex-
listing outstanding indebtedness was
turned over to the State treasurer. AT
the time OF the passage of the act Of
the general assembly, it was estimated
mat there was an accrued profit Of
Sl0O,OO and this had to be realized in
cash before any dispsnsary earnings
could go towards the support of the
schools. However, it vas afterwards
discovered that allowing for breakages
and the shortages of several dispen-
sers, the o would drop to $751;
5OO.4O n the payment of the com
missioner o made has wiped out This
obligation to the general fund.
The check was more than cheerfully
received by Treasurer Zimmerman.
AS a matter of fact. the treasury was
almost depleted. But about $500 was
on hand and the salaries Of the State
officials are due. Treasurer Thinner
man was thinking strongly of borrow
Ing money in order to meet the cur
rent expenses of the government. The
treasury being rehabilitated just at
this time, the expenses can be easily
met until the collection of taxes Ia
made. The State usually borrows
enough money at this season Of every
year to run the government until sthe
county t~reasurers collect State taxes
during the fell Of the year. Governor
Ellerbe was much gratifed that the
necessity for a loan would not arise.
anc he stated that the payment could
not have been made at u more oppor-
tune time.
Since the dispensary law went into
effect 1928, 5O0.43 has been made In
profits. This amount does no include
the $4,000 borrowed from the State
treasury with which to begin the
operation of the system. The $50, 600
has since been returned to the State,
According to this, the %dispenssry
has Melted about 800, 900 a year, which, |
OF course, speaks we'll for the financial
part of the business.

An Exciting Race.

1t was the most exciting race that
Teddy ever had And you guess
that is was a bicycle race? Oh no,
indeed it wasn't! 1t was a race with
a heap of big, black, growing thun-
der-clouds !!
Grandma heard them rolling and
rumbling just as she was going to
sit down TO dinner.
"Deary me !" she exclaimed as she
hurried to the window. elf there
isn't thunder shower coming as fast
as ever it can And there's that
hay! 1t will all be spoiled, every
bit of it! And your grandpa not at
home to help! Deary, deary me!'
Teddy jumped up from the table.
"Let's race 'em, grandma !" he ex-
claimed eagerly. "You an me an
Pat an Bridget! Let's all go an
help, right now! We can get grand
pas hay in, you see if we can't"

and Teddy-well, he did everything .
lie tried to pitch just as Pat did, but
the hay always tumbled on top of
him instead of on top of the hay
load Always! And then he climb
ed up into the cart and stamped the
hay down while Pat pitched, and he
drove old Dobbin up to the barn and
then back again to the bayfield,, and
oh dear me. | can't begin to tell
you what he didn't do!
And all this time the great black
clouds had been coming nearer ant
nearer, and just as Pat got the las
load of hay safely into the barn, the
big rain-drops commenced to splash
against the windows. The shower
had come at last but they were ready
for it.
Teddy sighed a happy little sigl
as he peeped out of the window. "W,
