SHORT sight is more common in town
than among country folk, for the SIM
pie reason that townspeople have less
need for long sight, they have fewer
opportunities for exercising their
sight on distant objects, and their oc-
equations do not favor its develop
ment by training or selection. but it
is not, in the majority of cases, proof
of physical degeneracy, as can be seen
in the case of the Germans, who are a
VIGOROUSLY short-sighted people.

"A New County Wanted.

Petitions have been placed in eircu-

for division of St. Louis county into
two parts, the dividing line to run
east and west and the new county to

the Vermillion and Mesaba iron
ranges. The temporary county seat is
to be at Virginia. When the neces-
sary number of signatures-4,5 0o-are
obtained, the matter will be submitted
to vote at the general election in No
vember The arguments in favor of
the division are that st. Louis county
is too large for one government, and
that the long distances make it too ex-
pensive.

Assistant Secretary of State Cridler a
very kind offer to contribute his splen-
did collection of war relics from Ma
nilla-the only collection in America
commemorating Dewey's great victory.
At the same time Colonel Haskell was
informed by Secretary of War Meikle-
john that he would gladly loan fam
ors collection of war relics from the
battlefield of Santiago. These two
famous collections, constituting as
they do complete panoramic history
of the American arms during the pres
ent war, will be seen for the first time
in Minneapolis, never having been ex-
hibited publicly before.

MINNESOTA NEWS.
Telagraphed the Presfdent.


Gov. Clough feels in common with
many citizens that in the matter OF as
signment of troops this state has not
been fairly treated. Recently the fol-
lowing telegram was sent to the presi-
dent:
'Under the first call for troops, Min
nesota was the first state in the union
to mobilize troops and get them out of
the state. The Twelfth and Four
tenth regiments, now at Chickamau-
ga, are second to none in the United
States, according to all reports, and at
the same time they are still in camp.
1t seems to me that Minnesota has
been sadly neglected, so many other
regiments, far inferior to Minnesota
troops, in equipment, drill and general
fitness for field work, have been given
preference and sent to the front. Onr
officers and soldiers and also the en-
tire people of our state feel that we
are not receiving fair treatment
SIS it not possible to get at least one
of our regiments now at Chickamauga
into active service?

U. S. Department of Agriculture,

progressing very nicely in the Red
River valley, and in all parts of the
state south of Otter Tail, Cass and
Carleton counties stacking has been
going on as rapidly as possible, except
in that portion where the showers of
the 9th caused delay. The grain put
in stack after being we'll dried, subse-
quent to the heavy rains, is in good
condition, but where the rains were
heavy some grain in shock is in poor
condition, and some stacks are injured,
but on the whole the cropis we'll cared
for. Threshing from the shock con-
times in most parts of the south, and
the returns show satisfactory yields of
wheat, barley and oats. Early fax Is
being cut, and late fax is approaching
maturity. The crop is good one.
Cool nights have tended to retard the
ripening of corn, but most of our COR
respondents think it will be secured
safely if frost holds off till Sept. Is;
the crop is a very good one.

It is our convic- t1on that among the very most valu- able of these lessons and one which never would have been learned thor oughly, especially by that sometimes inapt pupil. the congress of the United States. except through the experience of war, is the inestimable value Of the soldiers Of the regular army to this country.

 untrained soldiers could not have achieved without a sacrifice Of three times as many lives and many weeks more of time. It seems superIiuous to praise the valOr of these regulars at the same time that it is unnecessary to applaud the generally good conduct of the volunteers.
